Chapter 62 Shen Junshan was engaged before
At around four o'clock, everyone in the village who had time went out. When they saw them walking holding hands, they immediately started pointing and talking.
"It's shameless to do this in broad daylight. Whose wife would act like this?"
"That's the way it is in the city. You see it in the movies, too."
"He's so handsome. I heard he was a fool, but he doesn't look like one."
"Has it not yet had an attack? I heard that some crazy people are normal when they are not having an attack. Do idiots also need time to have an attack?"
Han Jiaojiao walked and laughed.
Shen Junshan looked back at her several times, and was infected by her smile. For some unknown reason, he also started laughing with her.
When he was about to go home, he found several sisters-in-law lying at the entrance of the yard. One of them saw Shen Junshan coming and immediately shouted, "You're back! Do you still recognize me? I'm the village chief's wife."
Han Jiaojiao thought that she looked unfriendly, but her eyes were gentle. It was the look from the woman next to her that made her feel uncomfortable.
Han Jiaojiao was standing nearby, not wanting to get involved with these troublesome women.
Shen Junshan politely called out, "Aunt Furong, you cooked a few meals for me when I was a child. The scallion fried rice you made was delicious."
"I said Junshan is not an ungrateful person. He still remembers the bowl of rice he received ten years ago!"
Shen Junshan was stunned by her words. When he saw Jin Guizhi avoiding his gaze, he understood what was going on.
Someone spread rumors again.
Shen Junshan said sensibly, "I visited my third uncle today and plan to go to my aunt's house tomorrow. How have you been with my village chief uncle over the years?"
Gan Furong was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "Well, your uncle often mentions you, saying that you are the most promising person in our village!"
Shen Junshan smiled awkwardly at the compliment. Usually, people who said such things to him either had requests or had twists and turns.
Sure enough, Gan Furong asked, "You were engaged to Haifang before, why did you abandon her and marry someone else?"
Shen Junshan was even more confused. Seeing this, Jin Guizhi hurriedly ran out to interrupt them.
"Junshan's wife is still here, why are you saying this?"
Gan Furong had just noticed Han Jiaojiao. After all, she was the only one so pretty in the village. But how could such a pretty girl be a fool? How could she marry Shen Junshan? With her face, she could marry someone better.
Gan Furong didn't believe it: "Are you sure she's Junshan's wife, not his colleague?"
"Aunt, my name is Han Jiaojiao, and I'm Junshan's daughter-in-law."
Gan Furong was puzzled: "He's not stupid, he speaks very fluently."
Han Jiaojiao wanted to laugh when she heard her talk.
The village chief's wife is big and strong, and speaks like a fool.
Han Jiaojiao simply stopped pretending: "Am I stupid? I don't know."
“Ahem!”
Shen Junshan seemed frightened and choked on his saliva.
Han Jiaojiao patted his back gently and said, "I don't know where the rumor that I'm a fool came from. Now people call me a fool wherever I go. I feel very sad."
Gan Furong laughed out loud: "It was Jin Guizhi. She came back from the county town last year and said that Junshan married a fool. The whole village knew about it!"
Jin Guizhi was so embarrassed that she disappeared on the spot.
When she met Han Jiaojiao last year, she was indeed a fool. Who can she blame for the fact that things are different this year?
Jin Guizhi didn't dare to make trouble with Gan Furong. She was the village chief's wife and was famous for her strength and generosity. No one in the village dared to mess with her.
Jin Guizhi didn't dare to say anything.
Gan Furong stopped laughing and asked Han Jiaojiao seriously, "Since you are not a fool, why do you want to destroy other people's families?"
"ah?"
"What? I'm asking you, why do you want to destroy other people's families and become a mistress?"
Han Jiaojiao looked at Shen Junshan in shock: "You got married?"
Shen Junshan was confused: "Aunt Furong, please don't talk nonsense. I only have Jiaojiao as my wife. This is my first marriage and I will not divorce her."
Gan Furong grinned in dissatisfaction and pulled her sister-in-law out from behind her.
"Xiao Hou, you speak!"
Hou Tian stood up and said breathlessly: "You are not married, but you have already given the engagement, what's the difference between that and marriage?"
Although now a couple is considered a legal couple only if they have a marriage certificate, the customs in many places are still old-fashioned.
They will arrange three matchmakers and six bridesmaids. The matchmaker will deliver the belongings of both parties to the place. After things are settled, he will bring people to offer betrothal gifts, and the marriage will be settled.
The basic process is to first pay the engagement, hold a wedding banquet, and get the documents. Many people don't even get a marriage certificate, and the wedding is considered complete after the wedding banquet.
Hou Tian glared at Han Jiaojiao: "Their family proposed marriage to my daughter a year ago. You must explain this to me."
Haifang came running over breathlessly, and immediately pulled Hou Tian and shouted, "Mom! I told you not to come, why did you still come!"
"If I don't come, you will be bullied? We have been waiting for him for a year. Do we have to wait any longer?"
"But you can't be like this, Brother Junshan. My mother didn't mean it. She's just worried about us."
Han Jiaojiao was furious and shook off his hand.
Shen Junshan was so nervous that his mind was in a mess. He frowned and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!"
The roar frightened them all.
Haifang sobbed weakly: "Brother Junshan, I know that our relationship has caused you trouble, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."
Gan Furong interrupted: "A grown man should be responsible for his actions. If you do something, you should be responsible. Even if you cancel the engagement, you should give the girl an explanation. Otherwise, how can you let the girl live in the future?"
"Aunt Furong, please stop talking nonsense. Why should I be responsible? I didn't do anything!"
For the first time, Shen Junshan jumped up and down anxiously: "I never proposed marriage, nor did I promise her anything. I just met her for the first time when I came home this time. Please don't talk nonsense, okay!"
He hurriedly held Han Jiaojiao's hand, and only felt relieved when he saw that she did not shake it off.
Han Jiaojiao never dreamed that one day she would be cheated on by a mistress because of old customs.
Shocked her mother for three hundred years!
Haifang and her mother both widened their eyes. Hou Tian thought Shen Junshan was talking nonsense, so she immediately took out a button.
"Look, this is the token of love you sent me. And this, do you dare to say it wasn't written by you?!"
Hou Tian took out another letter with the words "love letter" written in big letters on the envelope.
When Han Jiaojiao saw these two things, she finally exploded and laughed in a very ungraceful manner.
Haifang pursed her lips and hid beside her mother. She didn't know what Han Jiaojiao was laughing at, but she had a feeling it was not a good thing.
Han Jiaojiao was so happy: "Auntie, who would write two big words on the envelope when writing a love letter to their partner? Are you afraid that the partner doesn't know that it is written to them? That's too unrestrained."
When Han Jiaojiao opened the letter and saw the content, her breathing stopped for two seconds, and then she burst into earth-shaking laughter.
Shen Junshan took the letter and looked at it curiously. His face turned red and he stammered, "What the hell is this!"
