The constables were the first to react.
With the roster in hand, whoosh!
He ran up to Chen Xian, pressed his thumb, poked the inkpad, and quickly signed his name on the roster. Then he signed his name on the two girls' names as well.
A few seconds.
The head constable breathed a sigh of relief, "Damn it, we almost got stuck with this!"
He then instructed the yamen runners to have the others sign their names.
A few breaths.
The yamen runner cupped his hands and said to the head of the yamen, "We have other matters to attend to at the county office, so we'll be leaving now."
They were practically jogging, as if a great terror was chasing them from behind.
Uncle Chen was dumbfounded. "What a bastard!"
The villagers were speechless at Chen Xian's behavior.
"Dad Dazhu, that young widow didn't want to marry you in the first place, why are you still going after her!"
Uncle Chen snorted, put his hands behind his back, and said with exasperation, "You're the kindest person in the whole village. You can barely support yourself, and you still have to get involved with another girl. Two girls, no less. I don't care anymore, do whatever you want."
She stormed off in a huff.
Zhang Daguang, hiding in the crowd, said sinisterly, "I think Dazhu's father is just despicable. He found two girls and he's doing it out of kindness. I don't believe it at all. He's just a lecher who likes pretty girls."
Chen Qingshan scolded, "Why don't you show some kindness? We're all from the same village. Don't say such hurtful things. Do you really think Brother Xian is feeling good right now?"
"Being a hero only brings temporary pleasure. Who knows how much you regret it now? You're just too proud to say it out loud."
"Don't forget, Brother Xian was the last one to choose. It's not that he didn't want to choose, but that he had no choice."
“Take pity on him, he did bear a certain fate for you.”
Chen Xian nodded, "I also wanted to choose the woman with the thick waist, but didn't you choose first? Do I still have a chance?"
Upon reflection, everyone realized that, in a way, Chen Xian had indeed taken on the bad luck of the jinx on their behalf.
His gaze swept across the area.
Gou Dan and Chen Daguang instinctively hugged the burly woman next to them.
Are you stupid? This is my wife, you can forget about it.
Look at that girl, so thin, all looks and no substance, pshaw.
In an unseen corner, Chen Xian lowered his head, his lips almost splitting open.
You suddenly found yourself with two fair-skinned, beautiful, and high-quality wives, and now you regret it?
Chen Qingshan shouted a few times, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
"Brother Xian, you should take care of yourself from now on and live a good life."
"Um."
Chen Qingshan and Chen Xian studied together at the village private school for a year and a half. They were classmates and childhood playmates, so no matter how bad Chen Xian's reputation was in the village, Chen Qingshan always had a special feeling for Chen Xian than for others.
It means they have a high tolerance level.
Su Liniang pulled the dazed Su Shuangshuang down to kneel.
"Thank you for taking me in, sir."
Chen Xian nodded with a smile, "Our family doesn't have so many rules. I'm thirty-five years old this year, while you are all in your prime. To be honest, you're the ones who have been wronged."
Su Liniang's face was resolute. "That's not important. My husband is kind-hearted. We've been a burden to him. Please bear with us in the days to come."
This is about reputation.
As she got closer, Su Liniang noticed that although the man was thirty-five years old, his skin was fair and his face seemed to have more flesh than others.
Although he has an ordinary appearance, he speaks kindly, so that's fine.
Of course, Old Chen's fair skin was largely thanks to the fact that he rarely worked in the fields and spent his days lying in bed sleeping in, thus avoiding sun exposure.
A few teenagers shouted something dryly.
"father!"
Chen Xian: "These are my son and daughter. My eldest son is already married, and he also has a daughter-in-law."
The Su sisters responded politely.
