Jilted lover yells through bullhorn

A man in Taizhou turned up on the doorstep of his ex-fiancee on her wedding night and yelled at her through a megaphone. The man demanded that his former lover return the betrothal money and debts he claimed she and her family owe him. He said he gave the woman 88,000 yuan ($12,800) for their engagement four years ago and his family also lent 140,000 yuan to her father. The pair apparently lost contact after she broke off the engagement, but he recently found out where she lived. He said she would not let him in, which is why he resorted to the megaphone.
