Chapter 123 Saving Her
Upon hearing this, Huo's mother's face turned quite pale.
Aunt Zhao, having heard the news from somewhere, kept babbling, "The Wang family isn't human either. They took Wang Xinran back as a relative to deceive her, trying to use her to exchange for a dowry. Wang Xinran struggled and tried to escape, but the Wang family caught her and beat her. She's covered in bruises."
"Today, it was the Wang family that forced Wang Xinran and Li Chao to get their marriage certificate. Wang Xinran didn't want to go, so she was forced to go. She was tied up with ropes all over her body. She was so pitiful."
Aunt Zhao's story was very tragic, which made Mrs. Huo very angry, but as she listened, she also felt that something was wrong.
Mrs. Huo couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Zhao, did you see Wang Xinran being tied up with your own eyes?"
Aunt Zhao's eyes flashed, and she coughed: "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, that's what they said."
Mother Huo said, "If Wang Xinran was forced to go there, then someone should object. They shouldn't be that bold. Besides, if Wang Xinran is unwilling, then they can't get the marriage certificate."
The people at the Civil Affairs Bureau aren't stupid; if Wang Xinran had raised any objections, they wouldn't have issued her the certificate.
According to Aunt Zhao, Wang Xinran and Li Chao have already registered their marriage.
Aunt Zhao chuckled dryly, "What you said makes sense. Their rumors might be wrong, but in any case, Wang Xinran was definitely forced."
"You're right."
Mother Huo turned around, grabbed a hoe, and left, saying, "Wang Xinran definitely doesn't like Li Chao. If she marries Li Chao, it's because she's being forced."
The Wang family is truly inhuman.
Aunt Zhao had only come to share some gossip, but she hadn't expected Mrs. Huo to be such an impulsive person. She excitedly grabbed Mrs. Huo's hand: "What are you going to do?"
Mother Huo said, "Of course I'm going to bring Wang Xinran back."
Aunt Zhao said, "Why are you doing this? Wang Xinran abandoned you back then. She went to the Wang family willingly. In any case, her current situation is just the result of her own actions. Why are you still concerned about her?"
Mrs. Huo's face was full of anxiety: "I know she did something wrong, but she is my daughter whom I have raised for more than ten years. I can't bear to part with her. She can disown me, but she has been deceived into marrying Li Chao. I don't want to see her life ruined like this. I have to save her."
Aunt Zhao said, "You can go and save her, but you can't tell anyone what I told you today, or people will think I encouraged you."
She was just saying it casually.
Whether Wang Xinran was forced into marriage or not, she herself didn't know.
Anyway, she went to take a look at it at the time, and she saw that Wang Xinran seemed to have a smile on her face, so she didn't seem to be forced to go to get a marriage certificate with Li Chao.
But as the village's intelligence agency, she knew how to deliver messages in a more exciting and interesting way. If she said Wang Xinran did it voluntarily, then it wouldn't be interesting.
Mrs. Huo nodded: "Aunt Zhao, don't worry. I won't tell anyone what you told me today. I'm actually grateful to you. If you hadn't told me these things yourself, I wouldn't have known that Wang Xinran was in such a difficult situation."
Aunt Zhao's eyes darted around for a moment, she thought for a second, and then quietly followed them.
She wanted to go to the theater.
However, the Li family is not to be trifled with. Can Huo's mother really bring Wang Xinran back by herself?
Huo's mother went there in a very aggressive manner, which attracted the attention of the neighbors. The neighbors asked her curiously where she was going.
“Li Chao forced my woman to marry, so I’m going to bring her back,” said Mother Huo.
The neighbor exclaimed in surprise, "Aunt Huo, you must be mistaken! The Li family is having a proper marriage. The Wang family said the Li family gave a dowry of 800 yuan. In our village, the most a bride would cost is 200 yuan. Who would give so much? I think the Li family is very sincere. Moreover, Wang Xinran is very satisfied with Li Chao. They went to the county town together in an oxcart today, and I saw Wang Xinran smiling the whole time."
Coincidentally, he also went to watch the excitement. Wang Xinran didn't seem forced at all. If she were really forced, she would definitely have resisted. But from beginning to end, Wang Xinran had a gentle smile on her face, which clearly meant she was doing it voluntarily.
Aunt Zhao, who was following behind, looked a little embarrassed when she heard this.
Anyway, Wang Xinran and Li Chao's marriage is a big event in the village, and everyone is talking about it now.
There are all sorts of rumors. Some say Wang Xinran did it voluntarily, while others say she didn't. In short, it's all a mix of truth and falsehood, and nobody knows which is true.
But Huo's mother had her own judgment. She looked at her neighbor and said, "That's impossible. I know Wang Xinran. She doesn't like Li Chao and wouldn't want to marry him."
You should know that Li Chao had harassed her before, and Wang Xinran didn't like Li Chao back then. Besides, no one in the village would want someone as morally corrupt as Li Chao.
The neighbor shook her head: "Aunt Huo, after all these years, I think you don't understand Wang Xinran at all. Otherwise, why would she leave the Huo family? I think she married into the Li family willingly. Although Li Chao is an uneducated man, the Li family is rich. Li Chao's father is also a village chief. Marrying into his family is indeed a shortcut."
That's true.
The Li family's conditions are indeed very good, much better than the Wang family's. Wang Xinran marrying into the Li family can be considered a step up for her.
But even though everyone knows this, they are still unwilling to go to the Li family, because the Li family is not so easy to climb up to.
The Li family members are not easy to get along with.
Mrs. Huo hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "Impossible, Wang Xinran could not be that kind of person."
Even now, she still has hope for Wang Xinran. She believes that Wang Xinran still has ambition and would never be willing to marry someone like Li Chao.
Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, the neighbor could only say helplessly, "If you don't believe me, then go and see for yourself at the Li family's house."
Anyway, he saw Wang Xinran smiling the whole time, and he thought that Wang Xinran had married into the Li family willingly. Even if Huo's mother went to rescue her, she might not be willing to come back.
Huo's mother didn't say anything, but rushed over directly.
The neighbor clicked his tongue: "The Li family is no ordinary family. Even if Aunt Huo goes, what use will it be? I think Wang Xinran will still side with the Li family. Aunt Huo will have worked for nothing and it will be of no use at all."
The news from Huo's mother's side immediately reached the Wang family.
The eldest son exclaimed in shock, "Dad, does the Huo family think Wang Xinran is her daughter?"
