It was just that there was enough meat for two meals, and Dandong was overjoyed.

Observing their contentment, Gu Chaoyan remarked, “We’ll have meat frequently in the future. Don’t worry, Dandong.”

Dandong squinted her eyes and smiled in response.

After the meal, Danxia went to boil water. While Gu Chaoyan could assist with many things, household chores and cooking were not her forte.

The family collaborated seamlessly, making life uncomplicated.

Following a shower, they retired for the night. The Yan family’s dwelling, neither small nor dilapidated, provided warmth with a comfortable blanket—testament to the father’s competence in providing for them.

Gu Chaoyan drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, a knock on the door roused them.

Since Gu Chaoyan was present, she answered it.

It was Ms. Jin, exuding arrogance as she cast a disdainful glance at Yan Danqiu. “Someone from the Jiang Family is here. Tell your mother to come to the old house.”

Gu Chaoyan found it peculiar that someone from the Jiang Family had come directly to the old house. She nodded, “My mother isn’t in good health and can’t get up. I can go in her place. There’s no need to bother her.”

Ms. Jin seemed about to say something…

Yet, after contemplating Ms. Wang’s condition, she let it slide.

In any case, the outcome would be the same regardless of who came. There was no distinction. Who cared about the identity of the messenger?

“Let’s go,” Ms. Jin instructed.

Gu Chaoyan left after giving some instructions to her two sisters.

The old house wasn’t far; the North Village was relatively small.

Upon arrival, Gu Chaoyan noticed a considerable number of people in the old house, most of whom were outsiders from the Jiang Family. Given the Jiang Family’s size and the scholar’s connection to Yan Danqiu, it wasn’t surprising. Apart from the Jiang Family, a few villagers seemed to be there just to observe the situation.

Gu Chaoyan walked in without hesitation.

Reflecting on the past engagement, it was the Jiang family who had initiated the proposal. It took significant effort before Yan Danqiu’s father agreed. Now that the engagement was being called off, Yan Danqiu had done nothing wrong, and there was no reason for Gu Chaoyan to feel guilty.

Inside, the Jiang family members occupied the room. Upon seeing Yan Danqiu, they frowned upon not finding her mother with her. “What’s happening? Are there no rules? Are you discussing something without your mother being aware?”

“My mother is unwell, bedridden, and unable to rise. She is trying to rest. What rules require her presence for you to discuss breaking off the engagement?” Gu Chaoyan responded without reservation.

The Jiang family’s expressions soured further.

“How uncouth. How can Changxiu marry such a woman?” The Jiang family expressed their displeasure, “Today, our Jiang family is here to annul the engagement. Changxiu is a scholar. A woman like you is unworthy of him. Fortunately, we haven’t altered the birth dates. Now that the Jiang family has arrived, we are here to formally inform you.”

“It is human nature to dislike the poor and love the rich. We are poor, so it is normal that we don’t like the scholars. You can cancel the engagement, but you can give back the herbs and money you received from my father, and we will not owe each other anything from now on.” Gu Chaoyan said straightforwardly.
