Chapter 213

After making a scene all morning, the village chief, exasperated, told them to go home and tidy themselves up, asking what kind of mess they all looked in.

Chen Shengxiong chuckled and told Wen's mother and Wen Man to wait for him to come and marry them, but was then pulled back by the Chen family couple.

Wen Dafu felt extremely ashamed. Without giving his mother and Wen Man a chance to protest, he grabbed them and took them back. He completely forgot about his eldest daughter, Wen Xin.

Wen Xin was no longer surprised by the Wen family's outrageous behavior.

Yan Zeli frowned deeply, increasingly convinced that apart from Wen Xin, no one in the Wen family was any good.

He tenderly touched the girl's face.

Wen Xin smiled softly at him, not caring at all.

Yan Zeli sighed, "I'll take care of things from now on."

The girl's eyes were like water as she obediently nodded, making Yan Zeli feel even more sorry for her.

"Cough cough."

The village chief walked over, leaning on his cane, his eyes holding a rather peculiar expression.

Wen Xin blushed even more, hiding behind Yan Zeli like a shy bride.

Yan Zeli held her tightly and asked the village chief, "Is something wrong?"

village head:"……"

I invited you here to manage the situation and resolve issues, but what happened?

He spent the entire time flirting with Wen Dafu's eldest daughter and watching the drama unfold, completely ignoring the farce between the two families.

The village chief looked at the young man speechlessly, "Uncle Yan, what's going on between you and Xiao Xin?"

Yan Zeli said calmly, "Didn't you see it?"

village head:"!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "I doubt Wen Dafu and his wife would be happy about this."

Yan Zeli curled his lips into a smile, his brows and eyes sharp and arrogant. "I'd be happy to."

The village chief was instantly horrified. "Uncle Yan, please don't do anything rash!"

Yan Zeli said calmly, "What do you think I can do?"

Village Chief: "..." There are so many!

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said wearily, "I'll try to persuade that couple, Uncle Yan, you... take it easy!"

Yan Zeli nodded: "Then thank you very much, Village Chief."

The village chief hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wen Xin and sighed, "That couple has always been biased and greedy. You've had a hard life since you were little. It's good that you're with Uncle Yan."

Although the Yan family has a terrible curse, if she stays in the Wen family, she will be sold for money by that couple sooner or later, and who knows how she will be tortured.

In the entire Linghou Village, the only person who could protect her and wasn't afraid of trouble was Yan Zeli.

Wen Xin lowered her eyes a little shyly and said softly, "Thank you, Uncle Village Chief."

Seeing the little girl's shy and obedient appearance, the village chief wanted to sigh again.

Yan Zeli took her hand and asked the village chief, "Are you free now?"

Village chief: "What's wrong?"

Yan Zeli said in a normal tone, "Help us get an identity certificate from the brigade headquarters, and also get our marriage certificate stamped."

village head:"???"

Wait, what are you saying?

Listen to the nonsense you're spouting!

Can you just get a marriage certificate whenever you want?

Yan Zeli frowned. "We've been dating for two years, why can't we get married?"

Village Chief: "...Uncle Yan, you can fool Wen Dafu and the others with this, but it's going too far to fool me."

As the village chief, how could he not know whether Yan Zeli and Wen Xin were dating?

Yan Zeli kept his handsome face taut and remained unmoved. "After we get our marriage certificate, we'll be together for a lifetime. How can two years compare?"

The village chief was speechless. "How can they be the same?" he thought.

Da Yan said: Yes!

The village chief hesitated, "Isn't this inappropriate? You should at least talk to their parents first."

Yan Zeli: "It's the same whether you accept it first or talk about it later."

village head:"……"

How are they the same?

Knowing that he couldn't reason with this person, the village chief could only turn to Wen Xin, "Xiao Xin, what do you have to say?"

The girl was shy and timid, yet she clung tightly to the young man's clothes, as if there was no need to ask anything.

With a blush on her face, Wen Xin mustered her courage and looked at the village chief, "I... I'm willing."

Yan Zeli said to the village chief, "We are both adults and can take responsibility for our actions."

So tell the village chief to stop babbling and hurry up and issue them the certificates and stamps!

The village chief's lips twitched uncontrollably.

If the person in front of him hadn't been his elder, he would have crossed over with just his cane.

But since it was consensual between the man and woman, what else could he do?

Moreover, given the despicable behavior of Wen Dafu and his wife, they certainly wouldn't want Wen Xin to marry Yan Zeli. They wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Yan Zeli, but who knows what they would do to their eldest daughter?

The village chief could only sigh, "Alright, I'll go open it for you. But be prepared, Wen Dafu and his gang might cause trouble."

Wen Xin's pretty face turned pale.

Yan Zeli embraced the anxious and helpless girl and sneered, "Let them come."

The village chief hesitated for a moment, then said, "That's enough, don't actually kill someone, or things will get out of control."

Yan Zeli glanced at the village chief indifferently, as if to say: Is he the kind of bandit who would kill people at the drop of a hat?

Village Chief: He is!

Forget it, instead of advising Yan Zeli, he should advise Wen Dafu to be sensible and not court death.

Yan Zeli then asked, "Is A Niu free today?"

A Niu is the village chief's second son. His family owns an oxcart, which he often uses to transport people between the village and the county town.

"He just happens to be at home today."

Yan Zeli said, "I want to hire him to go to the county town."

"Is there something you need to do in the county town, Uncle Yan? I'll have someone go and fetch him right away."

Although this younger elder was a headache, the village chief was still very easy to talk to.

Yan Zeli said matter-of-factly, "I'm taking my wife out to play."

village head:"???"

You're already a wife before it's even been officially stamped? Shameless!

Finally, the village chief left with his hand on his heart and unsteady steps.

Sigh, they're all such a handful!

Ah Niu arrived quickly in his oxcart.

Yan Zeli helped Wen Xin into the car and took out a soft cushion for her to sit on.

As the oxcart bumped along, he reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, letting her lean against him.

"It takes an hour to get to the county town, so you should take a nap first."

Wen Xin had taken Chinese medicine again last night and had been tormented by him for most of the night. Her body was still weak, but she didn't refuse. She nestled in his arms, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

However, she didn't sleep well. In her hazy state, she kept having nightmares from her past life.

For a moment, I dreamt of Wen Man's smug and malicious face, then I dreamt of Xu Haoyu embracing Wen Man, throwing a wad of banknotes at her face in an insulting manner, calling her ugly, old, illiterate country bumpkin, and the cold, terrifying feeling of her heart leaving her on the operating table...

"Little darling."

His clear, deep voice was extremely gentle, soothing the hatred and pain in her heart.

Wen Xin opened her eyes in a daze, only to realize that she had been sobbing the whole time.
