"That's fine. My family has already planned to build another house for you and my younger sister, but it will definitely take some time. For the time being, you can only stay at the educated youth camp for a few more days. You can ask others for help with some small things, but eating is not a easy problem to solve. How about this, I'll ask my younger sister to bring you some food tomorrow." Brother An made arrangements on his own.

In his heart, since Shen Xiangzhi has become his brother-in-law, he and he are a family. Family members should not have different opinions, so it is only right for him to take more care of him.

However, this enthusiasm made Shen Xiangzhi feel a little overwhelmed.

"There's no need to send me food. I used to eat together with several other educated youths, and we had already exchanged the food. Although my leg can't work for the time being, it won't prevent me from cooking a meal. Big brother, you don't have to worry about me. If I really need help, I'll trouble you then." Chen Xiang knew.

As for building a house, he did not refuse.

But he didn't intend to let the An family pay for it.

He would give them the money when the house started to be built.

Brother An sighed.

He originally wanted to find an excuse to get the younger sister to spend more time with him and develop a relationship with him, but since she said so, it would be a bad idea to just stick with her.

"Since you have a plan in mind, I won't say anything. Just call us if you have any problems."

An Hongdou sent Shen Xiangzhi all the way back to the educated youth center. Since everyone in the center had already fallen asleep, An Hongdou did not go in. It was the two brothers of the Shen family who helped Shen Xiangzhi in.

As soon as they left, Shen Xiangzhi's place exploded.

There were a total of five men in the educated youth center, except for one who was married, and the four of them lived in one room.

As soon as the two elder brothers of the An family left, Zhang Jianjun poked his head out from under his bed and said, "Old Shen, tell us what's going on. Are you really together with that village bully of the An family?"

There are currently three single men in the educated youth center, and Shen Xiangzhi can no longer be considered single.

They are Zhang Jianjun, Lin Xiangdong and Zhou Xuenong.

At this time, upon hearing Zhang Jianjun’s question, the other two also raised their heads and looked at Shen Xiangzhi inquiringly.

Chen Xiangzhi was embarrassed, but it was only for a moment, and his face suddenly became gloomy, "Who spread the rumor? I just broke my leg that day, and I happened to meet Comrade An. She was kind enough to carry me down the mountain. Maybe I was too heavy, so she fell halfway and fainted. Then a lot of people rushed up. My leg hurt, and I didn't hear clearly what they said, but thanks to the two elder brothers of the An family who sent me to the hospital, the doctor also said that it was a good thing that I went there early, so my leg would not be seriously injured..."

Shen Xiangzhi also considered these words again and again in his heart.

Anyway, no matter what, I can't admit that... An Hongdou took possession of my body.

However, Shen Xiangzhi was still quite surprised by the words "village tyrant" from Zhang Jianjun's mouth.

The girl is a little fat and ugly, but she shouldn't be called a village bully, right?

Shen Xiangzhi had been in this village for less than half a month, and he had occasionally heard people around him talk about An Hongdou, most of which were about An Hongdou chasing after Zhao Youliang again.

But he has always had a cold personality, and others won't talk too much in front of him. He doesn't take things that have nothing to do with others to heart, which leads to the fact that he doesn't know much.

"So that's how it is!" Lin Xiangdong's eyes flashed, "I was saying, although you haven't been here for long, the girls in our educated youth center have always been thinking about you. How could you not like such a beautiful and delicate girl and like a woman like An Hongdou!"

Zhou Xuenong also sat up with great interest. "It was Zhao Youliang's mother who first said that you two were having an affair that day. Everyone thought it was true at first, but the rumor in the village these past two days is that the Zhao family wanted to cancel the engagement, so they spread it."

Of course, these words were definitely spoken by Captain Andelai.

The story spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people. Everyone is gossiping about it, and with so many versions, no one knows what the truth is.

"This is really possible." Li Xiangdong nodded thoughtfully.

After all, An Hongdou, the village bully, is well-known in the village. Although Zhao Youliang is not that good-looking, he is handsome. It would be strange if he could fall in love with An Hongdou.

Zhang Jianjun was the most stable person, and usually he was closest to Shen Xiangzhi. At this moment, he was the only one who cared about his friend the most. "Old Shen, since this is just a misunderstanding, I think you'd better take some time to explain it to everyone. Otherwise, if nothing happened between you two and people spread it like this, it would ruin the girl's reputation."

Regardless of whether this was planned by the Zhao family or not, once things are explained clearly, the Zhao family will have no reason to cancel the engagement.

The most important thing is to pick Chen Xiangzhi out first.

In this year, reputation is extremely important, but it is not a good thing. No one wants to be the object of gossip.

"I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly." Shen Xiangzhi looked embarrassed, annoyed and regretful.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as he said this, the three people looked at him in surprise.

Chen Xiangzhi sighed and said, "When we were in town, the two elder brothers of the An family said that I ruined their sister's reputation, which not only caused her to be broken off from the engagement, but also made her bear the reputation of having an affair before marriage. The mother and son of the Zhao family wanted to report us, so...so they asked An Hongdou and I to get a marriage certificate."

"What?" The three people's voices spoke in unison, which was particularly loud in the dark night.

"So you agree too?" Zhou Xuenong asked in disbelief.

"The An family is going too far. How could they take advantage of someone's misfortune? Is there something going on between you and An Hongdou? Doesn't she know it herself?" Lin Xiangdong also followed suit.

Chen Xiangzhi lowered his head, "What else can I do? They said that the news has spread in the village. The Zhao family insisted that we had an affair. Now it is something that even 10 mouths can't explain clearly. This kind of thing can't be blamed entirely on the An family. After all, no matter whether it is true or not, no one will suffer. If the Zhao family really reports it, I will be in trouble."

So, what can he do?

In the dark night, no one noticed that Zhang Jianjun's gaze was a little strange.

Shen Xiangzhi's words seemed to be telling about his own grievances, but he also had a little intention of defending the An family. In fact, he implicitly blamed all the sins on the Zhao family.

This is a little... not like someone who has just been forced into marriage, right?

And he married such an ugly woman.
