So Yun Duoduo kept quiet and let Ding Meixiang talk. If things got out of hand, she would just go with the flow and cancel the marriage.
Although Yan Junting seems decent, he's not good enough for Yun Duoduo to marry him regardless of the consequences.
However, when Yun Duoduo's mother, Song Qinglian, heard Ding Meixiang say this, she was so angry that she stepped forward to fight Ding Meixiang, but Yun Duoduo held her back.
She could also take this opportunity to see how Yan Junting would react. Would he, like in the book, ultimately be unable to do anything to Ding Meixiang, or would he be able to protect her?
If Yan Junting could protect her, she wouldn't actually be so resistant to marrying him.
This man is actually a decent person.
Upon hearing Ding Meixiang's words, Yan Junting's first reaction was to stand in front of Yun Duoduo, reach out and hold her hand, and whisper, "Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let you suffer any injustice."
Yun Duoduo bit her lip and nodded slightly, looking gentle and weak.
Seeing Yun Duoduo like this made Yan Junting feel even more sorry for her. What did his wife do wrong to deserve such treatment from his mother?
Then, he released Yun Duoduo's hand, looked at Ding Meixiang with extreme displeasure, and said, "Mother, what do you mean by 'other man'? You mean Yun Duoduo seduced me?"
The more Yan Junting protected Yun Duoduo, the angrier Ding Meixiang became. She retorted irritably, "Isn't that right? Do I really have to tell you all this?"
Immediately afterwards, Yun Xiaoqin also sided with Ding Meixiang, pointing at Yun Duoduo and shouting, "What's wrong, Yun Duoduo? You don't dare to admit what you did?"
Yun Xiaoqin's behavior really shows she's in cahoots with Ding Meixiang, just like someone else's daughter-in-law, so smug...
Before Yun Xiaoqin could finish speaking, Yan Junting glared at her and said in an extremely cold voice, "Yun Xiaoqin, get out of here. You have no right to speak here."
"I..." Yun Xiaoqin was so frightened by Yan Junting's appearance that she subconsciously took a step back and dared not make a sound for the time being.
Then, Yan Junting looked at Ding Meixiang and told her, word by word, "First, I am not married and Yun Duoduo is not married. There is absolutely no question of us seducing other people's men."
"Secondly, Yun Duoduo and I have always been in love. We have known each other for many years, but you just don't know it. Originally, I planned to come to their house to propose during the Chinese New Year, but this is just a bit early."
"Propose marriage?" Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. When did they meet?
Even Yun Duoduo looked at Yan Junting with a surprised expression.
Yan Junting looked at Yun Duodu and nodded, "We've known each other since we were very young, don't you remember?"
"When I was a child?" Yun Duoduo searched her memory, but there didn't seem to be a man named Yan Junting in the original owner's memories.
Seeing that Yun Duoduo couldn't remember, Yan Junting looked a little hurt. He then recounted how he met Yun Duoduo, "When you were little, you once fell into a big pond next to the commune. Someone rescued you, and you said to them, 'When I grow up, I will marry you. Remember to come to my house to propose.'"
Yun Duoduo didn't know if this was true or not, but if anyone was to say it, it must have been the original owner who said it, since it was when the original owner was young.
Just as Yun Duoduo was stunned, Song Qinglian immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, when my Duoduo was about seven years old, she did fall into the pond once. When we rushed over, Duoduo had already been rescued. Did you save her?"
After listening, Yan Junting looked at Yun Duoduo and nodded, saying, "Yes, I was twelve years old at the time. On my way home from school, I passed by the pond and saw a little girl fall into it and couldn't get out. I pulled her out, and the little girl told me that she would marry me when she grew up."
When Yan Junting said this, the way he looked at Yun Duoduo was quite captivating.
He was incredibly affectionate, as if he had been looking forward to this day for a very long time.
“Yan Junting, you…” Yun Duoduo was both amused and exasperated. Should she say that Yan Junting was precocious or that he was persistent? He actually took the words of a seven-year-old child to heart.
At that time, he was only twelve years old. How could he know so much at the age of twelve?
And we actually waited for this day?
No wonder Yan Junting's attitude towards her before was as if he had known her for a long time.
No wonder people say she was chubby when she was little. The original owner was indeed chubby when she was a child, and she only lost weight after she grew up.
At this moment, even though Yun Duoduo knew that the person Yan Junting was talking about was not her, but the original owner of the body, she was still very moved.
Yan Junting waited for more than ten years because of what a little girl said.
After saying that, Yan Junting looked at Ding Meixiang and said, "So, don't say that Yun Duoduo seduced me anymore. I originally belonged to her, and it was already arranged."
Ding Meixiang, of course, knew nothing of these matters, and she snorted.
No wonder their eldest son made such a big fuss, insisting on marrying Yun Duoduo; now I understand.
But at this moment, she also knew very well that she probably couldn't control her daughter-in-law, Yun Duoduo, just by looking at Yan Junting's attitude.
Thinking this way, she became even more annoyed with Yun Duoduo.
Over here, Yan Junting started to settle accounts with her, "As for your matter of arranging a wife for Qiuting, I don't object, but there are some things we need to clarify."
He pointed to a pair of silver bracelets on Yun Xiaoqin's wrist, "These silver bracelets on her wrist were left to my wife by my grandmother. Tell her to bring them over."
"You..." Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaoqin instinctively protected the pair of bracelets on her hands. She loved these bracelets so much; the carvings on them were exquisite, and they were quite heavy, so they must be worth a lot of money.
Yun Xiaoqin came from a poor family, and her parents favored boys over girls. She rarely wore new clothes, so her family would never buy her jewelry.
She rarely has something that truly belongs to her, so she's definitely reluctant to give it up.
Unlike Yun Xiaoqin, Yun Duoduo was born with a pair of silver bracelets on her wrists. Later, as she grew older and her arms became thicker, she could no longer wear them, so Song Qinglian bought her a new pair, which she has been wearing ever since. She doesn't really care about these things.
But this was Yan Junting's dowry for getting married, so Yun Duoduo certainly wouldn't stop Yan Junting from getting it back.
Ding Meixiang also glanced at the bracelet on Yun Xiaoqin's hand, but remained silent, seemingly acquiescing to Yun Xiaoqin's actions.
Seeing this, Yan Junting was not in a hurry. He smiled faintly at Ding Meixiang and said, "You're not going to take it? Then I'll save up the money myself when I go back to the army. We can talk about sending living expenses home every month when I've saved enough to buy the silver bracelet."
