At the dinner table.
I saw that everyone had almost finished eating.
"Third brother, what should we do about the matter between you and Sister Xiaoling?" Chen Hongxia suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Chen Jianbing paused, and couldn't help but think of the weak and kind girl in his arms yesterday.
Chen's mother scowled, "Hongxia, what did you say?"
"Mom, everyone in the village is saying that my third brother and Sister Xiaoling were hugging each other. My third brother has to take responsibility and marry Sister Xiaoling." Chen Hongxia raised her voice again, deliberately making the matter more serious. "If my third brother doesn't marry Sister Xiaoling, he's forcing Sister Xiaoling to die."
"Do you know that your third brother is getting married in a few days?" Mother Chen secretly glanced at Father Chen's face, deliberately bringing up the imminent event.
Chen Hongxia shouted, "It's a good idea to get married. Marry Sister Xiaoling."
"Enough, what are you talking about? The third son is going to marry Wen Wan." Father Chen slammed his chopsticks on the table angrily.
Seeing this, Chen's mother quickly spoke to ease the atmosphere, "Boss, don't be angry, the child is also worried about her third brother."
"That's right. If Third Brother doesn't marry Sister Xiaoling, and if the villagers force Sister Xiaoling to death, I wonder if Aunt Ding will go to the army to sue Third Brother." Chen Hongxia deliberately muttered loudly.
Upon hearing this, Chen's father and the others were stunned. They had never thought that what Hongxia said was indeed possible.
"Ah... there was a problem with rescuing people. How come my third brother rescued the wrong person?" Yang Zhaodi spoke subconsciously.
Mother Chen panicked and scolded, "Yang Zhaodi, shut your stinky mouth. My third son is so eager to save people that he can't tell who is who."
After saying this, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Chen Jianbing on his right, fearing that his third son would feel guilty and embarrassed.
Chen Jianbing lowered his eyes to hide a trace of guilt in them. After several years of training in the army, he would definitely not make a mistake in recognizing people.
When he went into the water, he was going for his fiancée Wen Wan, but when he swam to Liu Xiaoling and saw how weak and helpless she looked, his heart softened and he subconsciously saved her.
"Third brother, say something. Do you want to marry Wen Wan? Do you like her that much?" Chen Hongxia stood up anxiously, wishing she could go forward and shake Chen Jianbing.
Chen Jianbing was very confused, but his reason told him that he had to keep his promise and marry Wen Wan as agreed.
Emotionally, he was afraid that Liu Xiaoling would be so depressed that she would commit suicide. When he thought of this, his heart ached slightly.
When Chen's mother saw this, she was secretly delighted in her heart. She knew her own son well, and since the third son did not refute immediately, there was hope.
"Hongxia, please stop talking." Mother Chen winked at Father Chen and sighed, "Master, I know you are in a difficult situation, but what my daughter said makes sense."
Seeing that no one objected, he continued, "Xiaoling is very capable. She can handle all the work at home and outside. What a good girl. If she is forced to death because of this incident, I... I'm afraid San'er will live in guilt for the rest of his life..."
The more Chen's mother talked, the more tears came to her eyes. In her heart, she agreed with what she said. Everything she and her daughter did was for the good of their son. Her son could not have a wife who held him back.
"Third brother, do you have the heart to force Sister Xiaoling to death?" Chen Hongxia pretended to be sad, "Sister Xiaoling fell into the water to save people, she didn't deserve to die."
