Chapter 81 She couldn't swallow this insult!
When Zhao Taohua saw Zhang Gang and the other two about to rush over and hit her without saying a word, she quickly hid behind the argumentative man.
Luckily, she had the foresight to bring the nitpicker along to look for it.
The troll was a burly man, as tall as two people, like a small mountain.
Zhang Gang and his two companions were aggressive and shouting insults, but before Zhang Gang and Zhang Li could take a step forward, Shen Ming grabbed them by the back of their collars like lightning.
The force was so great that it lifted their feet off the ground, leaving their bodies suspended in mid-air.
The two struggled, their faces flushed, their eyes wide open, and they made cries of "Ah ah!"
At the same time, Shen Ming grabbed Zhang Shan's wrist with his left hand and twisted it instantly.
Zhang Shan's face contorted in pain as he let out a sharp scream, his entire body contorting in agony.
However, because Shen Ming held her wrists tightly, she was unable to move and could only struggle and let out painful cries.
Zhao Taohua, hiding behind the troll, was somewhat surprised. Before Zhang Gang and the other two could even reach the troll, they heard a painful wail.
She peeked out from behind the troll, only to see Shen Ming's icy gaze as he angrily shouted at Zhang Li and the other two, "You dare to touch her!"
Zhao Taohua was stunned when she saw Shen Ming being so fierce for the first time.
She remembered that when she arrived, she had heard him fiercely warning Zhang Gang and the other two not to cause trouble at her house.
A warm feeling welled up in Zhao Taohua's heart. As expected of Brother Shen Ming, he always came to her rescue in time!
I must thank him properly later. It just so happens that I can finish making four sets of wolf fur cotton coats before the temperature drops drastically.
Zhao Taohua took two steps forward, followed closely by the nitpicker.
When Zhang Gang and his two companions saw the mountain-like figure with bulging muscles and a pair of curved horns on his head, they were all so frightened that they fell silent.
What kind of monster is this?
This thing doesn't look human at all. Who goes around shirtless in the dead of winter?
The three of them shifted their horrified gazes from the argumentative man to Zhao Taohua. Why were there so many strange and terrifying things around this girl?
Zhao Taohua stood in front of the three people and declared, "I have no grudge against Zhang Caixia, her marriage has nothing to do with me, and I did not ruin her marriage."
If you dare to try and frame me again, or cause trouble at my house, don't blame me for being ruthless!
As soon as Zhao Taohua finished speaking, the argumentative person behind her emitted a heavy nasal sound from their nose.
In an instant, the sound was sharp as if scraping bone, and all three of them showed pain on their faces.
Unbelievable, in the blink of an eye, they experienced a mental torment more terrifying than death!
"!!!"
The three Zhang brothers were terrified twice in one day by two monsters, the Durian Spirit and the Argumentative Spirit.
"Okay, we understand!"
Zhang Gang and the other two readily agreed, fearing that if they were too late, the monster with long, curved horns behind her would start groaning and tormenting them again.
Seeing this, Shen Ming released the person.
Instantly, Zhang Gang and his two companions took off running, as if something terrifying was chasing them.
Only after they left Zhao Family Village did the three of them dare to stop and catch their breath.
Zhang Li said, "Big brother, third brother, Zhao Taohua is really too strange. Shen Ming from Zhao Family Village is also incredibly strong and has excellent skills. He has a head of white hair, which is terrifying to look at!"
“Who says otherwise? Let’s go home and never come to Zhao Family Village again,” Zhang Gang said.
Zhang Shan had doubts in his heart: "Caixia's marriage was ruined by Zhao Taohua, is it just going to be over like this? Zhao Feng's family originally promised a dowry of fifteen taels."
A dowry of fifteen taels! In ordinary families, the dowry for a daughter is only five taels.
His daughter Caixia was beautiful and was the village beauty of Heiniu Village, so he thought he could ask for an extra five taels. Unexpectedly, when the price rose to fifteen taels, Zhao Feng's family accepted it all.
Just when the wedding arrangements had progressed to the point of matching the horoscopes of Zhao Feng and Caixia, they suddenly said they didn't want Caixia anymore.
Zhang Gang glared at him: "Fine, go find Zhao Taohua and settle the score?"
Zhang Shan immediately shut up.
He wouldn't dare. Not to mention the two monsters beside Zhao Taohua, he couldn't even beat Shen Ming.
The three brothers returned home dejectedly. As soon as Zhang Caixia saw them, she asked them:
"Brothers, have you helped me teach Zhao Taohua a lesson?"
Zhang Gang said truthfully, "Caixia, your brothers are no match for her. Why don't we just let this go?"
Zhang Caixia was furious: "No way! The fifteen taels of betrothal money can't just disappear like that!"
In the surrounding villages, which girl would be willing to marry for such a high dowry?
She simply couldn't swallow this insult!
She glared angrily at her three older brothers: "How powerful can Zhao Taohua be? Does she think she can kill me?"
……
The Zhao family's old residence.
When Zhao Feng learned that Old Lady Sun had called off the marriage proposal to Zhang Caixia, he was so anxious that he almost cried.
He had liked Zhang Caixia for a long time, and finally, the matchmaker You arranged a marriage between the Zhang family. It seemed that Zhang Caixia was about to marry him and become his wife.
"Grandma, how could you say this? You know perfectly well how much I like Zhang Caixia and how much I want to marry her!"
Zhao Feng angrily addressed Old Lady Sun.
Everyone in the family except him frowned when they heard Zhang Caixia's name.
The girl had only come to our house for a meal once. We had planned to let everyone get to know each other before the engagement, and also to give Xiaofeng and Zhang Caixia some opportunities to spend time together.
However, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Caixia was all looks and no brains. Everyone had a rather unpleasant lunch on New Year's Eve, but she herself was completely oblivious.
If someone like that were to move into the house, wouldn't it be a constant source of chaos?
Not to mention that Old Lady Sun went to Matchmaker You to cancel the marriage, no one in the Zhao family's old house wanted Zhao Feng to marry this woman who had such a high dowry and was not very good-looking.
Grandma Sun glanced at her beloved grandson, whom she had doted on since childhood, and for the first time scolded him:
"What's so good about Zhang Caixia? What's the use of being pretty?"
A narrow forehead indicates a lack of foresight; dull eyes suggest a lack of intelligence; a crooked nose indicates a dishonest mind; and prominent cheekbones indicate a strong desire for control.
I disagree with Zhang Caixia!
"My dear grandson, later Grandma will find you a virtuous and well-mannered wife, but we don't need this one."
Zhao Feng was completely baffled; he hadn't expected his grandmother to say such things about Zhang Caixia.
Suddenly, he remembered that on New Year's Eve, after finishing her lunch, Grandma Sun chased after Zhao Taohua to the Zhao family's house.
He hurriedly asked, "Grandma, did Zhao Taohua tell you something nonsense?"
"What nonsense! Everything Peach Blossom says is true. She has never uttered a lie. Have you forgotten how Cao almost got her whole family killed because she didn't believe Peach Blossom?"
Grandma Sun rebuked angrily.
However, Zhao Feng couldn't listen to any of it. He only heard Grandma Sun say that she had indeed listened to Zhao Taohua.
Zhao Feng immediately turned and ran outside.
"My dear grandson, where are you going?"
Grandma Sun hurriedly chased after him towards the door, only to find that he was heading in the direction of the Zhao family, so she had no choice but to follow.
For the first time, she felt that her beloved grandson, whom she had doted on since childhood, was a bit stupid.
She worried that after Zhao Feng went to the Zhao family, he might say something he shouldn't have to Zhao Taohua, which would make Taohua angry.
She's currently trying her best to get closer to Zhao Taohua, and she can't let her grandson ruin it.
Zhao family.
Zhao Taohua and Durian Spirit were tying straw mats in the main room when suddenly they heard a knock at the courtyard gate.
Durian Spirit immediately put down what he was holding and went to open the door.
Unexpectedly, the other party rushed inside without saying a word, shouting as they went:
"Is Zhao Taohua home? Tell her to come out!"
Durian Spirit felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, and that the woman looked somewhat like the three men from that morning.
Zhang Caixia craned her neck to look into the main room and was surprised to see Zhao Taohua sitting inside.
She walked over and questioned, "Zhao Taohua, why did you ruin my marriage? What did I do to offend you?"
"I should be the one asking you that question. What did I do to offend you?"
My grandmother paid me to have your face read, and I'm doing this for money; I'm just telling the truth.
"Your marriage to your cousin fell through; that was Grandma's decision. Why are you looking for me?"
Zhao Taohua wasn't intimidated by her and stood up to fight back.
Do you really think she's a pushover, someone who can be bullied at will?
At this moment, the Durian Spirit hurriedly ran into the main room and stood beside Zhao Taohua. If Zhang Caixia dared to hurt Sister Zhao, she would definitely make Zhang Caixia pay!
Zhang Caixia angrily touched her face and said, "I don't care, it's all your fault."
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost the fifteen taels of betrothal gift that was almost mine!
Hearing Zhang Caixia's absurd argument, Zhao Taohua almost laughed in anger.
Just then, she saw half a body standing outside the courtyard gate. Was that Zhao Feng?
