Chapter 233
The next morning, after Wen Xin finished breakfast, her husband took her to the village committee.
Two villagers brought over a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man shrank back under Yan Zeli's cold gaze.
"Uncle Yan, I really didn't mean it. I just drank too much that night and was chatting with some drinking buddies when I accidentally blurted out that a rich girl from the city had taken a fancy to you... I really didn't say you were going to marry someone else!"
However, everyone was drunk at the time and their minds weren't quite clear, so the others simply assumed that Yan Zeli was going to abandon his wife and marry a rich girl from the city.
Wen Xin, the wife who had shared hardship: "..."
Is she destined to be the tragic heroine and the wife of a woman who suffers hardship in a tragic novel?
The middle-aged man's drinking buddies were also brought along. Each one of them was more cowardly than the last, shifting blame to one another and apologizing to Yan Zeli repeatedly.
The village chief was so angry that his face turned pale.
He only worked with Uncle Yan for a few days, and yet the village managed to pull off such an idiotic mess for him!
He took his cane and tapped them one by one, saying, "Have you all drunk your brains turned to bubbles?"
How dare they gossip about Uncle Yan? Are they all tired of living?
The men squatted on the ground, pitifully apologizing. They were drunk at the time and were just rambling on. Who knew that the story would spread like wildfire and become the talk of the village.
The village chief's sharp gaze swept over the others. "You guys too, it's one thing to gossip behind people's backs, but is it okay to say things like this so casually?"
"Don't you understand the principle of 'better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage'? Would you be happy if it caused Uncle Yan and Xiao Xin's marriage to be unhappy?"
The villagers were so ashamed after being scolded by the village chief that they couldn't even lift their heads and apologized to Wen Xin guiltily.
Wen Xin looked at them indifferently, without a trace of sympathy or forgiveness.
Harsh words can be as painful as a cold winter's day. When they spread rumors, did they not think about the harm they caused to others?
Yan Zeli held his wife's slightly cold hand tightly, his brows furrowed and his eyes swept over everyone with a sharp, cold look: "Listen up, everyone. It's only my wife who doesn't want me. There's no reason for me to marry someone else. If I hear anyone talking nonsense again, they'll have to bear the consequences."
Everyone gasped in disbelief.
So it turns out Uncle Yan... is afraid of his wife!
The villagers' expressions were too obvious; how could Yan Zeli possibly understand what they meant?
He calmly admitted, "That's right, I'm henpecked!"
"If you cause my wife to dump me, I'll never forgive you!"
The villagers: "..." Something had collapsed in their hearts!
Uncle Yan, if you're so capable, then keep your former divine status!
Yan Zeli replied confidently: No! Don't!
All he wants is a wife!
No one can stop him from being obsessed with his wife!
Wen Xin's pretty face turned bright red. She gently shook his large hand, urging him to save some face for himself!
Yan Zeli held her in his arms without any hesitation, as if she were his only precious treasure.
Then, he kicked several of the people who started the rumor, sneering repeatedly, "I think you're the ones who want to marry a rich girl from the city, aren't you? If you want to, go for it yourselves, don't drag me into this."
Upon hearing this, the wives of those men instantly glared at them with murderous intent.
A rich girl from the city?
Ah, very good! They'll be waiting for me when I get home!
Several grown men almost burst into tears: "We didn't, we're not like that, Uncle Yan, don't talk nonsense! You're afraid of your wife, but aren't we?"
But they created this mess, so what can they do?
Sun Wei, who had come with the villagers to watch the spectacle, blushed and paled in turns, feeling utterly ashamed and indignant.
How dare Yan Zeli say such a thing about her?
It's as if she's some cheap commodity, and anything dirty or smelly can get its hands on her!
That's outrageous! That's outrageous!
Sun Wei ran away crying.
She was too ashamed to stay in Linghou Village any longer. She wanted to go back and tell her father that Yan Zeli was ungrateful and that he should stand up for her.
The villagers also saw Sun Wei running away crying, and well... she looked quite pitiful.
Alas, his heart is as hard as iron!
Uncle Yan, do you have to be so cold and heartless?
Wen Xin was speechless. She understood the sympathy for the weak, but not all the weak deserved sympathy.
Besides, what kind of weakling is Sun Wei?
She knew Yan Zeli was already married, yet she still wanted to develop an ambiguous relationship with him. What is this behavior called?
Mistress!
Moreover, even though Yan Zeli had no interest in her, she still had the audacity to follow him to the village and scheme against his wife. What do you call that?
Despicable!
If Sun Wei succeeds, how innocent is Wen Xin, the original wife? Isn't she pitiful? What did she do to deserve this?
Of course, a man who can be seduced by a mistress is no good either.
But how do we describe the harm suffered by the original spouse?
Now that Sun Wei has no shame, can she blame Yan Zeli for being heartless?
Isn't it her own fault?
Looking at these villagers, Wen Xin suddenly felt a strong sense of disgust.
In Linghou Village, apart from Yan Zeli and the village chief, she had no other good memories.
She didn't want to blame the villagers for what happened in her past life, but...
Sensing her low spirits, Yan Zeli frowned and, ignoring the chaotic situation, took her home first.
The village chief opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't call out to him.
The Yan family has done everything they could for Linghou Village!
The backward village couldn't keep the couple there.
Moreover...
The village chief sternly warned everyone to use their brains more often and to stop gossiping and spreading rumors, or they would only hurt themselves in the end.
Many people agreed verbally, but didn't take it seriously.
Aren't Yan Zeli and his wife doing well now?
Moreover, Wen Xin has never left the house since she got married. Now that she's become a phoenix, she looks down on people like them and doesn't interact with them. Can you blame them for misunderstanding her?
What does it matter if everyone makes a few jokes?
Besides, didn't they all apologize?
However, they were still wary of Yan Zeli, and therefore dared not gossip about the couple anymore.
...
"young married woman……"
Back home, Yan Zeli's brows were filled with guilt, and his tone was extremely cautious.
Seeing his expression as if he were about to kneel on a washboard in repentance, Wen Xin couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the slight annoyance in her heart vanished.
Seeing her smile, Yan Zeli finally breathed a sigh of relief and almost swore to the heavens that such an idiotic thing would never happen again.
Wen Xin hugged his neck, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "I'm not angry with you anymore!"
Yan Zeli: Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?
Someone is eyeing him, isn't his wife angry?
Does his wife no longer love him? Does she no longer care about him?
Da Yan almost felt so wronged that he looked like a 200-pound baby!
