Chapter 37 Unexpected Trouble
As the head of the Ma family, Ma Youde values his reputation more than anything. He doesn't want to take on this responsibility and lose face in front of his fellow members!
"What exactly happened? Or is it because Liniang is pregnant that Chen Shi is having suicidal thoughts?"
Receiving a knowing look from her father-in-law, Jin quickly asked the question.
No wonder the Chen family came knocking; after all, it's a human life at stake, and it's not easy to get rid of someone.
Before the Chen family could reply, Ma Laosan chuckled and said sarcastically, "Chen Dahua didn't go home, did she? She's probably gone to find her Ma Wu-ge!"
Chen Lin's temples bulged with veins. He raised his fist and delivered a hook punch to Ma Laosan, causing blood to spurt from Ma Laosan's nose.
"ah!"
Li Niang let out a scream, clutching her stomach in extreme pain.
"Go back quickly! You're carrying the Ma family's precious grandson; don't upset the baby!"
Ma Youde's wife, supporting Li Niang, glared angrily at Chen Lin.
The reason why Chen Dahua was disliked by the Ma family was because she had an improper relationship with Ma Laosan's cousin, Laowu.
I heard that back then, the fifth son took a liking to Chen Dahua and wanted to propose marriage, but his own family beat him to it.
A while ago, Ma Laowu came to drink with her third son and advised them to treat Chen Dahua better.
Look at this, a man from out of town meddling in her family's affairs, what else could it be but an affair!
"Stop spouting nonsense!"
Wang Jinhua had barely woken up when Ma Laosan nearly made her faint again. Her poor Dahua had suffered so much injustice in the Ma family, and now she was dying a miserable death, her eyes wide open in disbelief, and she was being smeared with false accusations. Today, even if she had to risk her own life, she would drag Ma Laosan down with her!
"Did I...did I say something wrong?"
When Ma Laosan saw Wang Jinhua's ferocious expression, he felt a moment of guilt, but he still argued stubbornly, "It's not just me who said your daughter isn't innocent; everyone in the village knows."
The Ma family has more men than women. Ma Youde's wife became a mother-in-law but never did any housework, expecting to be served by her daughter-in-law.
A few years ago, Ma Laoda's wife had a difficult childbirth, resulting in the death of both mother and child. He became a widower, and the only ones in the family who could do housework were his second wife, Jin, and Chen Dahua.
Jin is sweet-talking and likes to take advantage of others. Chen Dahua always felt insecure because she had no children, so she took the initiative to do all the housework.
"It's nothing. Chen went to the river to fetch water and ran into Lao Wu a few times. Lao Wu helped her, and the villagers saw it."
Jin muttered to herself, "There's never a shortage of gossipy women in the village; they love to talk about other people's faults."
Ma Laowu is Ma Laosan's cousin, and they are very close. Logically, he shouldn't be criticized. The problem is that a matchmaker in the village once revealed that Ma Laowu had asked her to propose marriage to Chenjia Village, but Ma Laosan beat him to it.
When cousins fight over a wife, it inevitably becomes a topic of conversation among the villagers.
"Besides, the fifth son has refused marriage proposals from villagers for more than a year. Maybe... he can't forget Chen."
After Jin finished speaking, she straightened her back and said confidently.
Not a single word she said was fabricated; it was all true. If the Chen family doesn't believe her, they can go out and ask around; everyone in Majia Village knows this.
If there's any problem, it's Chen Dahua and Ma Laowu's improper behavior; otherwise, how could they have attracted gossip?
"you……"
This is outrageous! This is outrageous!
Before Chen Dahua got married, she had never heard of any of those third or fifth sons!
Although the two villages are not far apart, the villagers rarely visit each other. Wang Jinhua knows nothing about the Ma family and has never heard of anyone caring about Dahua.
