"Old Cheng, stop crying. If you have something to say, just say it. Look, the captain and his wife are here too. What's the matter? Just speak it out in person and we'll help you judge."
There were those who just wanted to watch the fun and didn't mind the trouble, so they just started shouting.
When he said this, many people who shared the same idea as him started to make a fuss.
This was what Mrs. Cheng had originally planned. Since someone brought it up, she naturally had to follow up on it.
Mrs. Cheng rubbed her face roughly, took a deep breath, and then spoke slowly.
"I am a kind-hearted person. People have come to me for help, and it's a good thing like marriage. How can I just reject them?"
"Besides, who wouldn't propose marriage when they reach the age? I didn't expect that when I came to propose marriage with good intentions, the captain's family not only didn't appreciate it, but also beat me with a big broom! Tell me, how can this be justified!"
Auntie Tian was so angry that she pointed at Mrs. Cheng and said, "I don't appreciate it? Why don't you tell everyone which family you are going to talk to our Xiao'e about!"
Things have come to this point, and it is no longer possible to keep the matter quiet or cover it up.
Then she had to tell everything openly, otherwise, she didn't know how the story would end up. She couldn't let Xiao'e fall into that situation, and telling the story openly was the option with the least impact at the moment.
"Yes, it's Old Cheng's. After talking for so long, you didn't tell me which family you were talking about to Xiao'e?"
If you know Auntie Tian well, if it was just a simple marriage proposal, she would never have such an attitude. If she disagrees, the worst that can happen is that she can just ask the person to leave.
There is no need to resort to physical action.
I guess Aunt Tian got angry because the old man from the Cheng family said that the other people were too unreliable.
"I..." Mrs. Cheng choked for a long time before she found the right words, "I'm not talking about an old man or a widower. It's the Ruan family in the village. Ruan Jiabao's appearance is considered handsome in the surrounding villages, so he is more than enough to match Xiao'e."
We all live in the same village, so even if we are not very familiar with each other, we still have a basic understanding of each other.
The only thing that Ruan Jiabao can show off is his appearance. After all, they are born to the same parents. If the sister is so pretty, how can the brother be worse? Other than that, it can be said that he has no good points.
Not only that, but he is also lazy and eats a lot. He relies entirely on his parents and grandmother for a living.
Whoever marries into such a family will be unlucky! And it will also bring bad luck to her family.
As soon as everyone heard Ruan Jiabao's name, they immediately understood why Aunt Tian was angry and why she wanted to beat Mrs. Cheng.
If Mrs. Cheng dared to go to their house to propose marriage for Ruan Jiabao, they would also greet her with a big broom.
Some people who initially thought Aunt Tian was a little too much have now changed their attitudes.
For someone like Ruan Jiabao, regardless of his own situation, even if he had a family like that, anyone who treated their daughter as a human being would not agree to such a marriage.
There are still many people who understand the situation at the scene.
Someone couldn't help but say, "Mr. Cheng, you are too heartless. You want to marry Xiao'e to a bastard like Ruan Jiabao. Xiao'e is one of the best girls in our team. No wonder they beat you with a big broom. If it were me, I would beat you too."
"That's right. Even our family doesn't like Ruan Jiabao, so how could the captain's family like her?!"
"Mrs. Cheng deserved the beating she received today."
Hearing that everyone was speaking in favor of the captain's family, Mrs. Cheng became unhappy.
What do these people know? If Tian Xiao'e hadn't been in a relationship with someone in an unclear manner, she wouldn't have meddled in this matter.
"What do you know? You said I deserved it? It was Tian Xiao'e who got together with Ruan Jiabao, and the Ruan family asked me to propose marriage to her!"
As soon as she said this, the scene fell into silence.
Wow, there is such a thing here? !
"You are talking nonsense! Our Xiao'e is a pure girl who has never dated anyone, let alone Ruan Jiabao." Aunt Tian was so angry that she wanted to rush forward again, but was stopped by the team leader.
The captain pulled Aunt Tian behind him, and he took two more steps forward, getting closer to Mrs. Cheng, and then said with a sullen face, "Comrade Xu Jinfeng, you have to rely on evidence when you speak! I know my own daughter better than anyone else. Whether she is dating someone, I believe that as her father, I should know better than you! If you make up stories without any evidence, I can send you to the Public Security Bureau!"
Mrs. Cheng's original name was Xu Jinfeng, but no one has called her that for more than ten years. People either call her Old Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, or simply Zhuangshi's mother.
When the captain shouted so suddenly, not only did the villagers who were watching the fun fail to react, even Mrs. Cheng herself was stunned for a long time before she realized that Xu Jinfeng was calling her.
Then I realized belatedly that I had to be sent to the police station.
People panicked all of a sudden. How did this even involve the Public Security Bureau?
"I'm not talking nonsense! I have evidence!" Mrs. Cheng's voice was shrill. "This is what Old Lady Ruan told me herself! This is what she told me when she came to see me!"
"Besides, she also said that Xiao'e was pregnant with Ruan Jiabao's child. She urged me to arrange the marriage this month. They will marry Xiao'e at the end of the month."
Mrs. Cheng believed what she said without a doubt. She was not talking nonsense. Old Mrs. Ruan was her witness. The piece of meat in Xiao'e's belly was the solid evidence.
When Mrs. Cheng said this, it was like throwing sparks into an oil barrel. It exploded immediately.
Everyone's expression was very interesting; some were gloating, some were incredulous, and some were worried.
At this time, Aunt Tian couldn't help it anymore, she rushed forward and grabbed Cheng Pozi by the collar, then dragged her up, "Come with me! Let's go to Ruan's house now! I want to confront you face to face! Our Xiao'e is an innocent girl, we can't let people like you ruin and slander her reputation like this!"
This time the captain did not stop her and fully agreed with his wife's suggestion.
This matter must be made clear face to face!
