Chen Yongxin seemed to be burned by fire. He hurriedly stuffed the pile of clothes into Ma Cui'e's arms, then turned around and ran away like a frightened rabbit.

At the moment, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, so he was fully aware of the old lady's intentions. However, a strong sense of shame surged over him like a tide, making it impossible for him to face the scene before him.

He was afraid to go in front of people, for fear that when people talked about the affair between Chen Yongming and Widow Wang, they would associate it with them, who were of the same clan and origin.

Ma Cui'e kept cursing and threw the clothes in her hands at Chen Yongming and Wang Chunfang. Chen Yongming put on his clothes in a hurry and said to Ma Cui'e in a low voice:

"Mom, just tell everyone that Chunfang and I are dating and will be getting married soon! I just couldn't help myself and made this mistake. If you really send me to the police station, my life will be ruined!"

When Ma Cui'e heard this, she suddenly felt an urge to kill Wang Chunfang.

But when she thought of her beloved son, she gritted her teeth helplessly and had to do as her son said. After all, she couldn't bear to see her son's life ruined because of this incident.

She cursed Wang Chunfang in a low voice, calling her a "slut", a "slut", a "jinx", etc., while at the same time twisting the soft flesh around Wang Chunfang's waist with her hands.

Wang Chunfang allowed Ma Cui'e to beat and scold her, remaining silent from beginning to end, not even daring to raise her head, only focusing on silently putting on her clothes with her head down. After everything was packed up, she slowly stood up and walked out of the simple thatched hut with Chen Yongming beside her.

At this time, Chen Yongming was finally covered with clothes, and the panic in his heart gradually subsided.

He took a deep breath, tried to remain calm, and then mustered up his courage and walked out of the hut. He said to everyone:

"My fellow villagers, Wang Chunfang and I have been in a relationship for a long time, and we are now at the stage of discussing marriage.

It’s all because we are still young and act a little impulsively and hastily. I would like to ask for your understanding.

Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough! We have decided to get married and start a family. The wedding will be held in a few days. When the time comes, we hope that you will be able to come to our humble home to attend our wedding and drink in our wedding wine.

At the same time, Ma Cui'e also walked out of the shed. With a slightly embarrassed smile on her face, she said to the people around her:

"Oh my! Even though this kid is already in his twenties, he's still too young and inexperienced. I've really embarrassed everyone today!"

When I get home, I will have to discipline this useless guy. He is so grown up, but he has no composure at all!

Okay, okay, now that everything has been explained, everyone should stop gathering here and go about their own business.

After saying that, Ma Cui'e waved her hand, signaling the crowd to disperse.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, everyone scattered like birds and beasts, moving so quickly that it seemed as if they were afraid that if they stayed for another second, they would be entangled by something.

Qin Wan, who had been watching from afar, saw this scene. The stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

She knew that she should keep a low profile in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and disputes. So, she turned away quietly, deciding to keep this achievement deep in her heart and not show it off to anyone.

Little did she know that her every move had been seen by someone.

He sighed softly, "Where on earth did this girl come from? Last time, she single-handedly eliminated a dozen men in the woods, and today she's revealed the true form of a pair of wild mandarin ducks."

Qin Wan didn't know that her whereabouts had been discovered. She walked briskly back to Widow Wang's house, but found the house was pitch black. It was obvious that Widow Wang had not returned yet.

She secretly speculated that Widow Wang must be at Chen Yongming's house at this moment to discuss the wedding date for the two of them. Thinking of this, Qin Wan couldn't help but smile slightly. She was really happy to be able to lock Chen Yongming and Widow Wang together.

Qin Wan returned to his room, tidied it up a bit, and then couldn't wait to enter the space to start practicing.

Although she had successfully ascended to the fifth level, a lingering sense of unease still lingered deep within her. There were always mountains beyond the mountains, and there were always people beyond the people. This world was filled with countless unknown challenges and powerful enemies, and the uncertainty was too great. She had long since abandoned her previous thoughts of giving up.

Instead, the cautious habits she developed in her previous life were deeply engraved in her soul like a brand, and even if she wanted to change them, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The next morning, just as the sky in the east was beginning to turn pale, Qin Wan was already up. After a quick wash and dressing, she went straight out to look for Captain Shi.

She gently raised her hand and knocked on the slightly old wooden door of Captain Shi's house.

After a while, the door slowly opened, and the person who appeared in front of him was not Captain Shi himself, but his elderly grandmother.

Qin Wan stared at Grandma Shi's slightly drooping eyelids, which seemed to carry the vicissitudes of life. A kind and gentle smile appeared on her face, and she asked softly:

"Hello, Grandma Shi! Do you know where Captain Shi went?"

Grandma Shi glanced at her with a cold and slightly scrutinizing look, and replied in a cold tone:

"I went to the brigade headquarters."

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Qin Wan standing at the door.

With a heart full of doubts and expectations, Qin Wan walked quickly towards the brigade headquarters.

When she stepped into the spacious but slightly deserted room, she looked around and was surprised to find that Captain Shi was not there.
