Chapter 194 Blocking the Promise
Shen Er and the others were stunned when they heard this.
Wang was the first to react and hit Shen Wen.
"This is your sister! Your own sister!"
I would rather be the wife of a poor family than the concubine of a rich family.
What the son meant was that he wanted his daughter to become a concubine of a wealthy family.
How could this not frighten Wang?
"You've studied for so many years, and you've learned nothing?"
Wang raised her hand high, but did not let it fall on Shen Wen's face. Instead, she fell on the table and cried.
When Shen Tao heard Shen Wen's words, her eyes lit up.
"Brother, I do. I don't want to live such a hard life. I don't want to marry into the Zhang family!"
Shen Dahe looked at his son and wanted to say something, but he held back.
The leader in charge of the hard labor had an uncle who was a businessman in the next county.
Although he is old, he still likes young girls. At the beginning of the year, I heard that the leader was worried about whether there were young and beautiful girls.
The life in the mine was so hard that Shen Wen felt he had never experienced such hardship in his life.
Shen Tao is his sister. If his sister wants to live a good life, then as a brother, he naturally has to consider her.
I always laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes.
Wang looked at her daughter with disbelief in her eyes.
Shen Dahe had heard his son say this vaguely on the way home.
The father and son thought that if Shen Tao was unwilling, they would not force her, but if their daughter was willing, they would give it a try.
If their daughter really married the boss's uncle, life would be much easier for both of them at the mine.
Shen Dahe and Shen Wen didn't have much time, so early the next morning, Shen Wen went to contact the leader.
Similarly, the Zhang family was also nervous.
After hearing that Shen Dahe and Shen Wen had returned home, Zhang's mother brought Zhang Gousheng to visit them specially.
But what was unexpected was that the Shen Er family, who had clearly reached an agreement, turned their backs on Shen Tao and even said that Shen Tao had already been promised to someone else.
The Zhang family naturally didn't believe it. Everyone around Shen Tao knew that she was going to marry Zhang Gousheng.
In the following time, Zhang Gousheng secretly kept an eye on Shen Er's family.
It was not until two days later that a small carriage stopped in front of Shen Er's house.
An old woman got off the car and walked into Shen Er's house with a look of disdain on her face.
Zhang Gousheng was quite agile and lay outside the yard to eavesdrop.
"Is this your sister? She looks very pretty. But our Liu family has many rules. Once you enter the Liu family, you must abide by them.
Everything in the mansion is centered around the master and the mistress..."
Shen Tao was even more certain when she saw that the nanny was wearing a gold hairpin on her head.
What's wrong with being a concubine, wearing gold and silver, and eating delicious food?
Zhang Gousheng, who was outside the yard, was shocked when he heard this.
The Shen family wants to marry their daughter to the master of this old nanny's family as a concubine!
After hearing this, Zhang Gousheng ran away.
I can’t let anyone snatch away the wife I got for free!
The nanny from the Liu family was still explaining the rules of the Liu family to Shen Tao at Shen Er's house.
Zhang Gousheng went home and called his mother directly, and also called his friends who usually got together.
When Zhang's mother heard her son say that someone was coming to snatch Shen Tao as his wife, she went straight to Shenjia Village.
And those friends who usually claim to be righteous followed Zhang Gousheng directly.
After Liu's nanny finished explaining the rules to Shen Tao, she took two pieces of material and a bag of silver from the carriage.
"This is the betrothal gift our master promised to your family. I will take the person away today. Miss Shen Tao, please change your clothes."
Nanny Liu handed Shen Tao a set of peach pink clothes.
Concubines have no chance to wear bright red.
Inside the house, Shen Tao stroked her clothes. The material was silky smooth to the touch, it was the finest brocade.
The Liu family is indeed a wealthy family. When Shen Tao thought of this, she felt that her choice was right.
Shen Dahe and Wang Shi did not dare to speak out because their daughter was married off as a concubine.
Shen Tao got on the carriage with her head covered with a veil. Wang felt very uncomfortable when she saw her daughter getting into the carriage alone.
Shen Dahe couldn't wait to open his purse, his eyes shining.
As expected of a wealthy family, they were very generous and gave a full fifty taels of silver.
Shen Dahe was just about to ask Wang to buy some good wine and food today when he heard someone calling him.
"Dahe, something bad has happened! A fight has broken out! A fight has broken out at the village entrance!"
"They fought over your daughter!"
Village entrance.
Zhang's mother and Zhang Gousheng stood in front, followed by a lot of thugs, blocking the Liu family's carriage.
The Liu family was a wealthy family in the next town, so Zhang Gousheng and his friends were naturally unfamiliar with them, let alone an old maid from the Liu family, whom they didn't recognize even more.
"How dare you steal someone else's fiancée!"
Zhang Gousheng was blocking the front of the carriage and, relying on his numbers, spoke loudly.
This sentence attracted everyone around Shenjia Village.
Nanny Liu was sitting in the carriage, her brows twitching.
Someone else's fiancée.
Nanny Liu looked at Shen Tao deeply and got off the carriage.
"I'm the nanny of the Liu family's wife in the next town. The person sitting in the carriage is my master Liu's twenty-eighth concubine. How could she be your fiancée?"
Nanny Liu knew very well that when she went out on this trip, she represented the Liu family, so she must not be robbed by anyone.
If the Liu family couldn't even take in a concubine, people would laugh their heads off if they told others about it.
What Zhang Gousheng hated most in his life was that he did not have a good background, so he would get furious when he saw others taking advantage of their power to bully others.
"Old man, who are you? I am Shen Tao's savior. Her family has long promised her to me.
Besides, your master is rich and powerful, and he can find any girl he wants.
You want to marry a woman who fell into the water and was seen and touched by others?"
Zhang Gousheng looked at Liu's nanny.
what!
A woman who has been touched by someone actually wants to marry into the Liu family!
Shen Wen did not spread the news of Shen Tao falling into the water, so the Liu family had no idea about Shen Tao.
The Liu family's nanny was extremely angry. After all, the Liu family was one of the most prominent and reputable families in their town, but they were deceived by this family.
"Perhaps you don't know yet, but even Ning Anhou knows that my Zhang family wants to marry Shen Tao!"
Zhang Gousheng moved Shen Tang out directly.
Nanny Liu was so angry that she fell backwards.
He climbed up and immediately pulled Shen Tao down.
"You little bitch, you've lost all your innocence, yet you still want to enter my Liu family? Bah! I will definitely tell my master about this when I get back!"
Neither Shen Wen nor Shen Dahe can escape!
Shen Tao was pulled down and was trembling all over.
It was obviously not the case, she almost married into the Liu family.
When Shen Tao saw Zhang Gousheng’s smug look, she rushed up and slapped him in the face.
When Zhang's mother saw her beloved son being beaten, she immediately held Shen Tao down.
The people watching around the Shen family went up to dissuade them.
When Mr. and Mrs. Shen arrived, they saw such a chaotic scene.
