Unethical

Eldest Uncle felt a sense of pity for Shao Meiling, unaware that Ms. Zhang had influenced her with the idea.

He had intended to interject, but halted upon hearing Ms. Fang's words.

It was clear that this couple had come to their doorstep not seeking the help of ordinary people like him and Ms. Fang, but rather aiming for Yunduan's assistance.

As he contemplated this, Eldest Uncle grew increasingly uneasy, realizing that they were trying to manipulate Yunduan into using his limited authority to retaliate against the other family. This deeply troubled him.

Such behavior was unquestionably unethical.

"That's not what we mean!" Second Uncle and Ms. Niu didn't dare to admit it. "This marriage isn't a good match, and we have every right to call it off. We even offered to pay them back 10 liang, but they still refuse to let go! Now the whole situation has become public, and Meiling will suffer greatly if she marries into that family!"
