Chapter 274 Dating
Chunfang not only lost face but also suffered. She was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die. She fled for her life from this shameful place.
Secretary Su, on the other hand, stayed behind and looked at Chu Tong and said earnestly, "You are a good girl and a good wife. If Xiao Yuer had a biological father, she would not be gossiped by her in-laws when she gets married."
Although widows are not prohibited from remarrying now, the children they bring with them after remarriage will definitely be treated with lower respect.
It is impossible to suppress the children left by the original wife in an arrogant manner, otherwise the elders in the village will be unhappy.
He almost said it clearly that if Chu Tong remarried with her daughter, Xiao Yuer would definitely be inferior to her.
Chu Tong looked at him and continued to speak softly: "I am not planning to marry again. My parents are planning to find a son-in-law for me."
Chu Hong almost laughed out loud. She didn't expect her elder sister to be so cunning and directly use her parents as a shield.
But she knew that her parents had never looked for her elder sister.
Secretary Su is also a man who cares about his reputation. He would definitely not allow his eldest son, who is supposed to take care of the elderly and see them to their grave, to become a son-in-law of the Song family.
He wanted Chu Tong to go back before because Chu Tong was good-natured, hardworking and capable, and because Chu Tong could not give birth to a son, he would be able to treat his two grandsons as her own sons in the future.
I will never abuse or wrong my two grandsons.
But I didn't expect Chu Tong to be so aggressive, so there's no need to make myself unhappy.
Even though Secretary Su was angry, he did not dare to show it. He did not want to offend Secretary Song again. Fortunately, Gu Ci and the others had weighed the food and came over. After giving them the batch of chickens and ducklings, Secretary Su did not delay any longer and immediately asked everyone to go back.
Secretary Song was a little uncomfortable: "Why did he leave so happily today?"
These days, Secretary Su has been shamelessly smiling and trying to get close to him, why is he like a frost-bitten eggplant today?
Chu Hong said, "Of course, my elder sister refused to go back to work like a slave, so he is unwilling to flatter you anymore."
She also told him about the woman who wanted to frame Jiang Mingche, and was very puzzled: "Didn't Jiang Mingche and his friends have embarrassing identities and bad situations? Why would someone target them?"
"You are right," Secretary Song couldn't help but shook his head, "but we don't care about these things in the countryside. If they are willing to be sons-in-law, then they have settled down here and can no longer be considered outsiders."
People like Song Dongzheng and Jiang Mingche, whose backgrounds are questionable, would be considered country people as long as they could marry into the wife's family.
But he swallowed the words.
Just the thought of Gu Ci, the second son-in-law, was enough to terrify him because he had to support Lao Chu and others in secret. If there was another son-in-law with the same background as Lao Chu and others, he was afraid that he would be worried to death.
Therefore, Secretary Song is really worried that his two unmarried daughters will be too stupid to think straight and find someone with questionable status as their son-in-law.
He changed the subject: "Where is Chu Dan? There is confirmed news that school will start in a few days and she can go to be a teacher."
The eldest daughter seemed to have no interest in getting married, but what worried him was the youngest daughter, Mo Minqi, who had taken a liking to Song Dongzheng and often stayed close to him.
A virtuous woman is afraid of a clinging man, and vice versa.
He was worried that Song Dongzheng would not be able to stand up to his young daughter and would be coaxed into becoming a son-in-law one day.
"It's bad." Chu Tong has been paying more attention to the farm recently. Thinking that there is still a woman who hasn't shown up, she panicked: "Besides Chunfang, there is another person named Wu Meiqin who often comes to Lingtou Village. I haven't seen her."
Then he looked at Gu Ci and asked, "How many people came today?"
"Secretary Su, Zhang Jianming and Li Xun." Gu Ci remembered clearly: "And two sisters-in-law."
Chu Tong said worriedly: "Then hurry up and find someone? I'm afraid these people are too cunning and will plot against us."
Just at this time, Chu Dan and Song Dongzheng also came back.
But both of them were soaking wet.
Chu Tong was angry and anxious: "Where have you been? Why didn't you go home and change into clean clothes first?"
"It's not cold under the scorching sun, is it? And please don't scold me first?" Chu Dan said quickly: "Luckily I rushed over earlier. A woman pushed him into the reservoir and he almost drowned."
"Luckily I was there to save him."
Chu Dan said this, lowering his head a little embarrassedly, blushing: "Many people saw it, and I don't know if they will gossip about us."
Song Dongzheng and Chu Dan are ten years apart in age. Even if he didn't dare to have any feelings for Chu Dan at the beginning, the age difference was too big.
But this young and beautiful girl often hangs around him and often secretly brings him food. Even a person with a heart of stone would be melted by Chu Dan.
Besides, he was in his prime and not a monk. When faced with a girl who was as beautiful as a flower and as eloquent as a lark, his heart was already moved.
Especially today, he was fetching water from the reservoir to water the fruit trees. Unexpectedly, while fetching water, he was bumped into the reservoir by a woman.
The worst thing is that the woman also fell into the water with him, crying for help.
Saving a woman who fell into the water must have involved physical contact. If he really saved her, the next step would probably be to propose marriage.
But she didn't ask first, because Song Dongzheng couldn't swim.
Now that he has been knocked into the reservoir, he is afraid that he will lose his life, so how can he have the energy to save others?
Fortunately, Chu Dan rushed over and jumped into the reservoir to save him.
At that time, there were other people who were also carrying water to irrigate the crops at the reservoir. They found a woman had fallen into the reservoir and rushed over to rescue her.
Song Dongzheng also explained the whole thing clearly, and finally mustered up the courage to look at Secretary Song and said: "Uncle, I also know that I am old and have a bad background, and I am not worthy of Chu Dan."
"I only have one true heart now, and I guarantee that I will treat Chu Dan well for the rest of my life."
Secretary Song was still not satisfied with him being his son-in-law, and said: "If you save someone from drowning, you have to marry him. That's a bad habit, and we shouldn't promote it."
"Just because Chu Dan saved you doesn't mean you should be responsible for her."
Song Dongzheng also understood what Secretary Song meant.
Those previous words had already given him courage, and now of course he didn't dare say anything more, as it would make him look like a mean person who was taking advantage of a favor.
But Chu Dan was unwilling to do so, and walked up to Song Dongzheng and hugged him and said, "Dad, he and I are attracted to each other, and I want to be with him."
After that, he smiled at Chu Hong flatteringly: "Second sister, you are the director of women's affairs, you have to protect my rights, right?"
"If our father doesn't agree, you have to help me, right?"
"Big sister and second sister, you can't let our father break up the couple."
Secretary Song was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "You little bastard."
She hasn't even gotten married yet, but she's already showing signs of being a traitor. It's really a headache.
Moreover, he was so unreserved and so eager to date someone. He suspected that his little daughter wanted to piss him off to death.
