Qin Baojie told Zhang Danv and Zhang Li what happened when he returned to the village, exaggerating the details.
Zhang Danniu laughed so hard after hearing this: "Xiao Wan, you are still the best, but your trick is too mean, it's enough to make several families suffer!"
As a few people were chatting, they saw an old widower who was listless and covered in wounds.
The old widower sighed and walked with his head hung, muttering: "What kind of world is this? Why am I so unlucky!"
As he was walking, he looked up and saw Su Wantang walking towards him.
His eyes suddenly lit up and he ran towards Su Wantang.
The old widower ran too fast and slipped, sliding down to his knees in front of Su Wantang and almost falling on him.
Su Wantang reacted quickly and pulled Zhang Li and Zhang Danniu back a few steps.
Then I saw the old widower kneeling on the ground, his face full of tears and snot.
Su Wantang looked surprised: "That's right...there's no need to do such a big ceremony!"
The old widower burst into tears: "Comrade Su! I finally see you! I really can't live like this anymore!"
Su Wantang's mouth twitched: "Why are you looking for me? Haven't you found a wife yet?"
When the old widower heard this, he cried even louder, with snot bubbles coming out of his nose: "You clearly told me at that time that as long as I went into the water to save Pang Ya, I would have a wife. I risked my life to save her! The water was so fast at that time, I almost couldn't get out, but...but his family refused to let Pang Ya marry me, and they beat me every time they saw me..."
He cried and wiped his face with his dirty hands, which became even more splotchy: "Every time I went to argue with them, they beat me up even worse, saying that I was a toad wanting to eat swan meat and taking advantage of Fatty!"
"My life is so miserable! I saw the wife who was almost in my arms was gone, and I was injured all over!"
Su Wantang raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion, "Didn't you go to the captain to complain? Isn't the captain always fair? Explain what happened to him clearly."
The old widower looked miserable and said pitifully, "I took advantage of Fatty, how dare I go to the captain to complain... Besides, their family has some influence in the village, I'm afraid the captain will side with them, and then I'll have no place to complain!"
Su Wantang's eyes widened in surprise: "Who said you took advantage of Pang Ya? It was you who acted bravely and went into the water to save Pang Ya. In order to save her, you even gave her artificial respiration. She took advantage of you!"
After a pause, she continued righteously, "Their family must be responsible for you. Moreover, they actually beat you, their lifesaver. This is simply lawless!"
"Even if their family doesn't want to marry their daughter, they shouldn't beat people, right? This matter must be explained. Let them compensate you. Go and ask the captain for an explanation!"
When the old widower heard Su Wantang's words, his eyes lit up and he kowtowed to Su Wantang several times excitedly.
"Comrade Su, you are right. I want to ask for an explanation."
After saying that, the old widower staggered to his feet and ran towards the captain's house.
While running, he was busily wiping his tears and snot, with a happy smile on his face!
He thought with great joy: He will soon have a wife again!
Even if he doesn't have a wife, Pang Ya's family must compensate him!
Thinking of this, he felt full of energy and ran faster.
When Su Wantang and the others returned home, Su Jianguo had already put the food on the table.
Seeing Zhang Da Niu and Zhang Li, he smiled and greeted them warmly: "Da Niu's mother and Da Niu are here, come and sit down, we are waiting for you."
Zhang Li smiled and said, "Lao Su, I'm so sorry to bring a girl to your house for a meal!"
Su Jianguo waved his hands: "What are you talking about? Our Xiaowan has eaten at your house many times. We are neighbors, so we should take care of each other. Don't be polite to us, come and sit down!"
Zhang Da Nv first filled a bowl with rice and vegetables, then said to Su Wantang, "Xiao Wan, I'll take it back to grandma first, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he ran home in a hurry and gave it to Li Cuihua first.
While running, he shouted: "Grandma, I brought you food, it's delicious."
Afterwards, he trotted back to Su's house, panting and saying, "Grandma enjoyed the meal so much, and she even asked me to thank you."
Everyone sat together. Su Jianguo looked at the table full of food and several young people and said with emotion, "This is lively. Xiaowan went to her grandparents' medicine shop these past two months. I was the only one eating at home. It was so quiet and I didn't have much appetite."
Su Wantang picked up a piece of meat for Su Jianguo and said, "Dad, you just need to get used to it! When I'm not around, you can ask Big Girl and Auntie to come eat with you more often! Look, it's so lively, it's more delicious when everyone eats together."
Su Jianguo glared at her.
This kid really dares to say anything!
If he really invited the orphans and widows to his house for dinner every day, those gossipy women in the village would have no idea what to make of it.
You can't let people gossip about you for no reason and ruin their reputation!
Qin Baojie stuffed his mouth with rice and said incoherently: "Uncle, the food you cook is so delicious, much better than what my grandfather cooks."
Su Jianguo smiled and said, "You are just trying to make me happy. Eat slowly and don't choke. If you like it, come back with your sister to eat more often."
After dinner, Zhang Li and Su Jianguo both rushed back to work, so Qin Baojie helped to clean up the dishes.
Su Wantang and Zhang Danniu went out hand in hand for a walk to help digest their food.
As they walked, Zhang Danniu seemed to suddenly remember something, she stopped and turned to look at Su Wantang.
She asked with a worried look on her face, "Xiao Wan, do you think the issue with the old widower can be resolved? I heard last time that this fat girl deliberately fell into the water in order to trick your fiancé, Captain Fu, by drowning! You see, this incident is really infuriating."
Su Wantang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile: "So, I have to help lock up Fatty and the old widower! Don't let her harm others!"
As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she grabbed Zhang Daniu's arm, running and shouting, "Come on, I'll take you to the captain's house to watch the fun!"
