One hour.
The women were all full, but the men were still drinking.
Seeing that Sheng Xijiang would not vent his anger today, Zhou Sese simply took Sheng Yingying and the children out.
After Sheng Yingying went out, she said to Zhou Sese, "Sister-in-law, Chen Lie was injured and had more than a dozen stitches on his arm."
Zhou Sese: "..."
She went in quickly.
Gu Zhonghua and Liang Mu were already drunk.
Only Sheng Xijiang and Chen Lie were left, and they looked at each other.
Chen Lie sat up straight. "Captain Sheng, I know you're unhappy. Yingying is a good girl and she deserves better. I'm an orphan, widowed, and a pig farmer. No matter how you put it, it doesn't sound good. Captain Sheng, I hope you can give me a chance. I will use my actions to show you that I love her and will never let her suffer any grievances in this life."
Sheng Xijiang remained silent.
He knew Chen Lie was a good person, but that was why he felt conflicted.
After all, in the village, if someone marries his daughter to an old bachelor, the whole village will spit at him to death. He is afraid that when he returns home, his parents will be angry with him and his two brothers will blame him. Blaming him is a small matter. What if they exaggerate the matter and hurt Sese?
Zhou Sese walked over to Sheng Xijiang and sat down. "Xijiang, Chen Lie was injured today. He had a cut on his arm and had more than a dozen stitches."
Sheng Xijiang was slightly startled, his brows furrowed, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Zhou Sese continued, "It was to protect our Yingying, the Liu Youzhi mentioned some time ago. He took our Yingying into the woods on the way. If Chen Lie and Chen Wei hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Liu Youzhi suddenly became angry and stabbed Yingying with a dagger. At the critical moment, Chen Lie hugged Yingying and blocked the knife.
Sheng Xijiang slowly raised his eyes, and his serious and earnest gaze fell on Chen Lie.
Chen Lie smiled elegantly and said casually, "I didn't intend to let you know about this. I just wanted to work hard on my own to gain your recognition, rather than relying on your sympathy or the extra points this incident gave me to get your approval."
Sheng Xijiang picked up the wine pot, poured himself a glass, raised his hand and drank it, and drank three glasses of wine in a row. Zhou Sese raised her hand to press the small wine pot, and Sheng Xijiang had no intention of continuing.
He seemed to have made a big mental decision. "Chen Lie, I'm leaving my sister to you. Sheng Yingying hasn't been very smart since she was a child and has often been taken advantage of. If she does anything wrong, send her back and I'll give her a good lesson, but you absolutely cannot hit her. She's much younger than you, so if you encounter some friction in life, try to give in. If you have time during the Chinese New Year this year, come back to our hometown with us and let my parents meet you. Are you prepared to pass my parents' test?"
