"Why, Uncle Xu, who exactly is this 'she' you're talking about?"
"she is……"
Just as he was about to say the three words "Feng Qiaoer", Village Chief Xu looked at Shu Jiaying worriedly again.
In Village Chief Xu's heart, he always felt that Shu Jiaying was a person who could distinguish right from wrong and was willing to help friends, but Feng Qiaoer's reputation was really too bad. He was not sure whether Shu Jiaying could accept him being with such a woman?
After a pause, seeing Shu Jiaying's expression waiting for his answer, Village Chief Xu steeled himself and said nervously, "She is... Feng Qiao'er."
"Feng Qiao'er?"
Hearing this name, Shu Jiaying was a little surprised. Until now, she still remembered the situation when she took Zhu Lao Da's boat from Fengyun Town back to Guangming Village. On the way back to Guangming Village, someone found a woman who fell into the river. Zhu Lao Da firmly opposed rescuing the woman because the woman had the nickname "jinx". If she had not deliberately pretended to be a ghost and scared Zhu Lao Da behind her back, it is estimated that the woman named Feng Qiaoer would have drowned in the river that day.
Later, it was Bagui from the village who rescued the woman. Shu Jiaying also clearly remembered that the woman lived in Bagui's house for a long time.
Now that she heard that the daughter-in-law that Village Chief Xu was talking about was Feng Qiaoer, Shu Jiaying would be lying if she said she wasn't worried. At this moment, she finally understood why Grandma Xu didn't like such a woman.
Shu Jiaying asked tentatively, "Uncle Xu, do you know Feng Qiao'er's background? Who else is in her family? What's her personality like? And has she ever been married..."
“That’s enough!”
Village Chief Xu interrupted Shu Jiaying's barrage of questions and said unhappily, "Although I don't know Qiao'er's background, she has a kind nature, is filial, and has taken good care of me. Furthermore, I can tell you very clearly that before me, she was a virgin, pure and innocent. So, I don't want to hear about whether she's ever been married, and even less about rumors about her and Bagui's father and son."
"Uncle Xu..."
Village Chief Xu held up five fingers to stop Shu Jiaying from continuing. He said, "Girl, I know you really care about me, so I really hope to get your blessing. I'll be very busy these two days dealing with wedding banquet matters, so I won't be visiting you and Xiaohua. If you need anything, just come to my house to find me, okay?"
Village Chief Xu has already made the decision, what else can Shu Jiaying say?
She nodded.
"I see."
"Okay, I'll go to the village entrance to find the butcher and order some fresh pork. I'll be leaving first."
"Uncle Xu, why don't you wait a little longer? I'll roast the bamboo rat and bring it home for Grandma Xu to taste...to taste?"
Before she could finish her words, Village Chief Xu had already walked away. Shu Jiaying could only sigh helplessly. Although she didn't know what kind of person Feng Qiaoer was, there had been rumors in the village that since Feng Qiaoer came to Bagui's family, the woman had been beaten almost every day.
Shu Jiaying thought, could this be the reason why Feng Qiaoer captured Village Chief Xu in order to escape from Bagui and his son?
If it were just this, Shu Jiaying wouldn't care. After all, people have a strong desire to survive. If they don't want to die, they can only find a better way out.
Now that things have come to this, Shu Jiaying can only hope that Feng Qiaoer will behave herself after marrying Village Chief Xu, which would make everyone happy.
