Chapter 101 Defamation
"Wang Guilan!"
Xing Dongyang was so angry that his face turned blue, and his voice trembled:
"How can you slander your own daughter like this? Wu Tong was poisoned yesterday and couldn't move her hands and feet. I did carry Wu Tong on my back because of the situation, but I was running for my life! Why are you so unbearable when it comes to you? You are so eager to ruin your daughter's reputation!"
"Look! Look! He admitted it! He admitted it himself!"
Wang Guilan didn't care about the accusations in Xing Dongyang's words at all. She only stared at the elders of the Old Wu family. After making sure that they had heard it, she turned around and said proudly:
"Xing, stop talking nonsense! I have one last question for you. Last night...did you sleep on the same kang with my daughter?"
"You, you are simply unreasonable!"
Xing Dongyang's eyes were blazing with fire and his body was shaking from anger.
"Don't tell me you didn't do it! I saw it when I walked in just now! If you're a man, just admit it. Don't be so timid!"
Wang Guilan put her hands on her hips, looking like a winner.
Li Weidong finally couldn't help but stood up and said angrily:
"What on earth do you mean? Such a big thing happened! You didn't arrest the ones who should be arrested! A bunch of people are here asking nonsense questions! What on earth do you want to do?!"
Secretary Wu coughed, then took a few steps forward, looked at Xing Dongyang and said:
"Xing Zhiqing! We all know your character very well. We also know that you are trying to help Tong Ya and you won't think of anything else..."
"But Tongya's reputation is... Alas! This marriage with Tian Gui is definitely not going to work out. She is a grown woman and has been rejected by three other marriage proposals. Now she has to sleep on the same kang with you for the whole night... Alas! Although there are reasons for it, people's words are still scary!"
"She just bumped into a pillar not long ago. If she gets upset again..."
Secretary Wu looked embarrassed and said earnestly, "You said her mother asked me and the elders of the Wu family to come. Firstly, she was thinking about the reputation of the Wu family, and secondly, she was afraid that Tongya would get into trouble again!"
There was nothing Xing Dongyang didn't understand at this moment. This group of people were not here to seek justice for Wu Tong. They were simply looking for the right opportunity to attack him!
The anger in his eyes was about to boil, and he finally asked calmly: "Secretary Wu, I understand, just tell me what you want to do about this matter?"
"What can we do? We are all sleeping on the same kang."
Wang Guilan shouted from the side: "Who would want my daughter if I didn't give her to you? I'm telling you! The people in the Wu family are not pushovers!"
"You, you are taking advantage of the situation! This is really too much!" Li Weidong said angrily.
"Wow——" Zhang Yaping was already crying, covering her face.
Secretary Wu and several others turned their eyes to Xing Dongyang.
Xing Dongyang lowered his head slightly, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"What are you doing? Wang Guilan! What are you doing so early in the morning?"
At this time, Ma Daming's loud voice came over.
Shitou rushed out of the house and shouted, "Dad! Come quickly! Something big has happened!"
"What? Xing Zhiqing is getting engaged to Tong Ya? Where does this come from?" Ma Daming listened to Shi Tou's general explanation and didn't understand how the matter turned out like this.
Wang Guilan glared at Ma Daming, "Ma Daming! You all say that I am not good to my daughter. The previous marriage was ruined, and that old man Tian was arrested by the police! Now my daughter is sleeping on the same kang with someone else, I am here to seek justice for her! Why am I wrong? Okay! The previous one was a little older! He was not suitable! But this Xing Zhiqing is suitable, right? With these conditions, you can't say that I don't care about my daughter's life or death!"
"But Xing Zhiqing was injured and freezing yesterday while trying to save Tong Ya. He almost died. I carried him back personally. Everyone was busy arresting people in the middle of the night, and he was not sent to the hospital in time. If he hadn't stayed in the corner of the kang to warm himself, I'm afraid he would have died. Besides, Shi Tou and Sister Cui Fen were with him the whole time! It's not worth making a fuss about it!" Ma Daming defended Xing Dongyang.
Secretary Wu glared at Ma Daming. "That's what happened, but it's a fact that they slept on the same kang. The Wu family still has some dignity! You should also think about Tong Ya! Once this word gets out, she won't be able to find anyone! In the first place... she can't live alone for the rest of her life!"
Ma Daming scratched his head. It seemed to be true. Xing Zhiqing was a well-known good young man in the surrounding area. He was excellent in every aspect. It would be great to have him take care of Tongya, but...
Ma Daming looked up at Xing Dongyang. This matter seemed unfair to Xing Zhiqing.
"I agree!"
Xing Dongyang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly looked up and said.
"Dongyang!"
"Brother Dongyang!"
Li Weidong and Zhang Yaping shouted at the same time.
Others don't know, but they both know in their hearts that Xing Dongyang will be able to return to the city next year at the latest. Given his family background and status, it is impossible for him to accept that he has such a rural wife, especially a rural wife who has been rejected three times and has such a bad reputation.
If he got engaged to Wu Tong now, it would be the biggest stain on his resume.
"Brother Dongyang! Don't be impulsive! We can solve the problem slowly if there is any problem!"
Zhang Yaping looked as pale as death. She was willing to go to the countryside just for Xing Dongyang. She had worked hard for so many years and could not let her efforts go to waste because of such an incident.
"Dongyang, this is a big deal! Be careful! Don't act rashly and regret it for the rest of your life!" Li Weidong also advised.
Wang Guilan was delighted and clapped her hands, "Great! You are indeed an intellectual from the city, you dare to act and take responsibility! Perfect! While Secretary Wu and the elders of the Wu family are here today, let's settle this matter."
Secretary Wu also confirmed: "Xing Zhiqing! You have thought it through!"
Xing Dongyang nodded, "Think it through."
"Okay, you see..."
Before Secretary Wu finished speaking, Wang Guilan said proudly: "The betrothal gift is three hundred yuan. Give it now. After that, Tongya will be yours! We won't argue anymore!"
"three hundred!?"
This time it was Secretary Wu who spoke up: "Wang Guilan, the last time the mayor married his daughter, he only asked for a gift of 120 yuan. You really dare to ask for that!"
Although it was Old Wu's family's business, Xing Zhiqing had brought a lot of honor to the village during his years in the village, and had helped him a lot. He didn't want Wang Guilan to push her too hard, so he was willing to be fair if possible.
"Of course! I sold it for fifty last time, and I want to sell it for three hundred this time, Wang Guilan! Your daughter is worth a lot of money!"
Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice sounded coldly, startling everyone present.
Only then did he discover that Wu Tong was standing at the door of the room with the support of Aunt Cuifen. His face was still swollen, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
Wang Guilan shuddered and was about to curse reflexively... But then she thought of the three hundred yuan that she was about to get, her face trembled, and then she smiled.
"Oh! Tongya! You're awake! Look at what you're saying. This time, mom has arranged a good marriage for you. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
"Yeah?"
Su Tong still spoke in a calm tone, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
She turned to look at Secretary Wu and said:
"I just heard some of what happened in the room. Since Secretary Wu and the elders of the Wu family think that my reputation is more important than my being kidnapped and hunted, then let's solve this matter first!"
