 Chapter 306: Decisiveness Won't Lead to Self-Deception

Chu Liushi understood her son's intention. This was an attempt to use the reputation of all the girls in the Cao family to force them to deal with Xu Shi.


Although the Cao family had a marital relationship with the main Chu family, the girls' reputation was something that could not be ignored. Moreover, Xu Shi had cheated the Cao family out of many valuable items, which were known to many villagers.


Previously, those who heard this news mostly thought that the Cao family was easy to deceive. However, now that the Chu family wanted to make an issue out of it and the Cao family had no choice but to respond, the nature of the matter changed. If the Cao family explained externally that Xu Shi took things under the pretext of proposing a marriage between her daughter and the Chu family, their daughter's reputation wouldn't sound good.


How much money would they have to compensate to marry a daughter from the Cao family?


People in the countryside had simple thoughts when it came to marriage, a virtuous and hardworking wife who required a low dowry was preferred. Even if the dowry was a bit higher, it shouldn't come with too much trouble.


Who would want to bring a daughter-in-law home who always sided with her natal family, taking things from her husband's family every day? Such a life would be unbearable.


Moreover, with the recent event of the girl's talent competition, many families now had more choices. During the four days of the girl's talent competition, if someone liked a girl they could simply go to the girl's village and inquire within the community to find out about her.


Compared to before, when people had to rely on matchmakers to inquire, this was much more convenient. After all, matchmakers might lie for money.


With all these factors combined, a simple and effortless strategy even just a few words could force the Cao family to surrender. If the Cao family learned about this, they wouldn't side with Xu Shi anymore. They might even force Xu Shi to come and apologize.


After all, at the root of this issue was Xu Shi's loose tongue and most members of the Cao family were innocent.


Chu An couldn't help but reflect. Why didn't he think of this method? Probably because he was too entangled in the situation, restricted at every step. Even though he didn't like his maternal family, he still subconsciously considered them as relatives. Therefore, he never thought of a ruthless solution. Instead, he let the other party exploit this point, constantly compromising.


Ultimately, the Cao family would take advantage when they could and retreat immediately when they couldn't, without any worries.


He realized that he had been too indecisive.


Now that Chu An understood, he became a bit more determined. Looking back at this matter, he realized that if he had followed his father's plan, it would probably have led to a tangled and unresolved situation.


"Ah Heng, do we really have to do this?" Chu Yonghua sighed, feeling that it was too harsh.


Chu Heng's expression remained unchanged but his voice was extremely cold and firm. "We must do this, Uncle. The Cao family will definitely choose to sacrifice Xu Shi."


"In fact, it's not even a sacrifice. Xu Shi will lose face and won't dare to provoke our Chu family again. What's so harsh about that?" Chu Heng calmly reminded.
