Outsiders didn't know what was going on, but when Zhao Lai Di heard that Village Chief Wang had sent the man to the police station, she immediately guessed the whole story.
"How do you know she was sent in because Zhang Zhiqing refused to marry her? It couldn't be because of something else?" Zhang Xiaocui asked curiously.
"Oh! Isn't it obvious? It's New Year's Day. What could Zhang Zhiqing do to offend the village chief's family? Besides, Wang Qiao is already pregnant. If he doesn't let Zhang Zhiqing marry her, can Village Chief Wang still raise the child for him?
If someone can be sent to the police station, it means the negotiations have failed. The Wang family is putting pressure on that educated youth Zhang! If you don't believe me, just wait. As soon as that educated youth Zhang gives in, he will be released from the police station immediately."
"I just didn't expect that person to be Zhang Zhiqing!" Zhang Xiaocui shook her head gently. "You know, Zhang Zhiqing is usually so weak and timid, and he hides away from everyone he sees. How could he be so brave?"
"Who can say for sure? They say you can only know a person's face but not his heart. Who knows what he's like behind the scenes?"
......
Zhao Lai Di and Zhang Xiao Cui were talking back and forth. Lan Guo'er had no impression of this educated youth Zhang, so she just listened for fun.
The next day was the second day of the Lunar New Year.
The other three branches of the Tang family accompanied their wives back to their parents' home.
Lan Guoer had no mother's home to return to in the village, so Tang Zhan thought of taking them to the mountains for a walk.
He had previously promised the Third Master that he would take him into the mountains to look for ginseng.
Since returning, the triplets have been playing at the foot of the mountain and are very interested in going into the mountains.
But who knows, plans cannot keep up with changes.
Just as they had packed their things and were about to go out, they were blocked by a speeding car.
Lan Guoer was just curious when she saw Lu Jun push open the door of the cab and jump down.
"It's okay, it's okay! Fortunately, I arrived before you left!" Lu Jun patted his chest with a look of relief.
"Where are you going? I hope I won't disturb you by coming here so suddenly."
The Third Master was upset that his plans were disrupted, and rolled his eyes at him, "So what if it's a delay? You're here anyway!"
Lu Jun was familiar with the Third Master's temper. He scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled twice, skipping the topic.
"I brought you New Year's gifts! There's red sausage, bread, and Songjiang croaker. The stew will be so delicious!"
Lan Guoer watched him carry out the bags from the car and asked, "Why did you come here so suddenly? You didn't even call us in advance. What if we were out? It would be a wasted trip."
"Ah!" Lu Jun sighed.
"I was planning to come visit again in a few days! But unexpectedly, something happened to a cousin at home, and he happened to be in your town.
My aunt is in a hurry to come over, and I'm quite familiar with this route, so I'll take over the driver's job and bring you the New Year gifts on the way."
"It's New Year's Day, what happened? If you need a doctor, just tell me, don't be polite with me!" Lan Guoer took the things in his hand and said.
"I don't need a doctor! But I really need the help of Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang!"
Lu Jun didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
When Lan Guoer heard that he had something to talk to Tang's father and mother about, she didn't ask any more questions and took him to the old couple's house.
Since he needed help from Tang's father and mother, Lu Jun had nothing to hide, so he told the whole story from the beginning.
Everyone thought it was something, but the more they listened, the more they felt something was wrong. Tang's mother finally interrupted his story and asked,
"Is your cousin called Zhang Cong?"
Lu Jun nodded, "Yes, it's him!"
Seeing that Tang's mother seemed to understand the matter, Lu Jun said no more and said directly,
"Just now, my aunt and I went to the police station to meet my cousin. According to my cousin, he has no recollection of what happened that night! But he absolutely does not want to marry Comrade Wang Qiao!
My aunt heard that I had acquaintances in this village, so she asked me to go to the village to find out if it was possible that my cousin was framed by someone?
It's not that I'm siding with my family, but given my cousin's personality, it's really unlikely he would do such a thing!"
At this point, Lu Jun recounted Wang Cong's family situation and why he went to the countryside, and finally said,
"If it's really his fault, then we admit it!
I'd like to ask Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang to help mediate and see if there are any other solutions that Comrade Wang Qiao can accept besides having my cousin marry her. We'll do our best to meet her requirements."
Lan Guoer didn't expect such a coincidence! She wondered,
"Your cousin said he has no recollection of what happened that night?"
Lu Jun nodded.
"Yes! That day was the last day of the college entrance examination. My cousin knew that he didn't do well on the test, so when he came back, he bought a bottle of wine in town, hoping to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
He has almost no idea what the final result of the drink is!"
Lu Jun knew his cousin very well. His aunt and three cousins were all very strong-willed. His cousin had lived under their "tyranny" since he was a child and dared not tell a lie in front of them.
When Lan Guoer heard him say this, she felt that this matter was really strange.
Not to mention whether a drunk person still has the motivation to do that thing, just considering his mood that day, would a person who is in extreme sadness still have the interest to force others to do that thing?
But if it wasn't him, why would Wang Qiao blame him instead of just accusing someone else?
There are more than one male educated youth who are more energetic and handsome than him and are popular!
Lan Guoer felt that this matter was really a bit confusing!
"Why!"
At this time, Tang's mother sighed and said, "It's not that we don't want to help, but it's really difficult for your uncle Tang and I to step in!"
Seeing Lu Jun's puzzled expression, Tang's mother had nothing to hide from him, so she told him about Wang Qiao's attempt to rely on the Third Master yesterday, and finally said,
"We had a falling out with the Wang family yesterday!
Come to think of it, if Wang Qiao hadn't made that scene yesterday, she probably wouldn't have known she was pregnant!
Lu Jun: “…” What kind of fate is this!
"Guo'er, you..."
Lu Jun looked at Lan Guoer for help. He knew that Lan Guoer had many ideas, and her methods and wisdom should not be underestimated.
It's just to let the insider tell the truth! This is really nothing to Lan Guoer.
It's just that she has always disdained to pry into other people's secrets!
But this matter is somewhat related to herself and involves Lu Jun's family. She has no right to interfere with the outcome, but she feels that she should tell everyone the truth.
