On the way back, the grandfather and grandson were silent all the way, and their faces were not very good-looking.

After returning home and entering the study room, my father-in-law slapped the table and cursed, "This is too much! This new era, new society, and equality for everyone are all bullshit! What if we, ordinary people, are rich? Aren't they inferior to their officials?!"

Mr. Yue sat behind his desk, closing his eyes and keeping silent, but his heart was turned upside down.

Since ancient times, the hierarchy of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants has been clearly divided, and merchants have always been the lowest. Although the Yue family is rich, the rich are not as powerful as others. People never fight against officials, not to mention that they are still officers.

"Grandpa, Dad, don't be angry. Anyway, I don't want to marry Ning Haobo. He doesn't like me and I don't like him either. We will definitely not be happy after we get married. This is just right now and it will save me the trouble of marrying him. After that, they hated each other." Tao Yuan was worried that the old man's anger would break his body, so he comforted them, "What they said makes sense. Arranged marriages and marriages without feelings may make people unhappy throughout their lives. Now. After breaking off the engagement, I am relieved."

"You are still young and don't understand the twists and turns. The key is not that they want to break off the engagement, but that today..."

"Ruqing," Mr. Yue suddenly said Opening his eyes, he interrupted his father-in-law and said, "Go back to your room and rest first."

Tao Yuan knew that he didn't want to hear those words, so he could only stand up and leave the study.

After Tao Yuan closed the door, Mr. Yue said to his father-in-law, "Why are you telling your child this? He must feel uncomfortable. If you let him know these things, how can he bear so many things at such a young age?"

"Dad, the Ning family is really bullying others. I just can't swallow it!"

"I have to swallow it even if I can't," Mr. Yue said. "I have worked hard for this family business, but I don't know how much anger I have suffered." , if I couldn't take every breath, would this family be able to survive today?" "

Back then, our family used all the efforts of the whole family to help their family with most of their property. Later, their military ranks became higher and higher, and their official positions As we get older and older, we have never thought about asking their family to repay us. It was they who proposed the marriage themselves, saying that if Ruqing married into their family, he would treat Ruqing as his grandson. Now they have turned against each other and are doing it for their own sake. Reputation, after such a show. We are so easy to bully, can we let them rub it at will?"

There was a knock on the door, and Mr. Yue answered, "Come in."

The butler walked in and said, "Master, someone from the Ning family is here, please I brought a lot of things over, saying they were here specifically to apologize."

"Tell them, we accept the apology, and the things are no longer needed. Let them take them back." Mr. Yue said, "Tell them again, it's us. It's not their problem that they can't reach them."

The housekeeper received the order and left the study.

Mr. Yue said to his father-in-law, "Although our family is just common people and cannot afford to offend them as officials, we still have to have the backbone we should have. From now on, we should not have any contact with the Ning family."

Mr. Ning heard the report and knew to send it to him. After his things were returned, he let out a long sigh, knowing that this time he had completely offended the Yue family.
