Han Zhenglian originally wanted to downplay the issue, but Gu Xing's words put him in a difficult position again, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.
Moreover, Chu Jianshu is also nearby. If this matter is not handled properly, it will be difficult to resolve.
But if Han Yanru is sent to the police station, what will happen to the village...?
Han Zheng thought for a moment. During this period, Chu Jianshu had been living obediently in the village, without contacting anyone outside or receiving any gifts from him. He was afraid that Chu Jianshu had been abandoned.
Moreover, if he wants to return to the city in the future, he will still have to consider his feelings. Even if today's matter was somewhat biased, the other party will not make things too difficult for him over such a small matter.
Han Zheng pulled Han Yanru up from the ground, his face stern: "Yanru, Xinyi is still your sister, how could you do this?"
"You're still young, and I can understand that you might be misled because you don't understand things. Tell me properly, is someone forcing you? What exactly happened?"
Hearing Han Zhenglian's words, Han Yanru, who was initially a little scared, instantly felt more confident.
She glanced at Qi Jinhua, raised an eyebrow at her, and then looked at Han Zhenglian with a pitiful expression: "Uncle Lian, I was forced into this by them."
That day, that idiot stopped me and said he had his eye on Sister Xinyi. If I didn't help them, they would ruin Sister Xinyi before the wedding. I had no choice but to give them this advice.
At the time, I thought Brother Gu was such a good person, he would definitely trust Sister Xinyi. Sure enough, I was right. They were arrested. I was afraid they would talk nonsense and cause me to fall out with Sister Xinyi, so I had no choice but to come. I... it's all my fault."
"I've watched you grow up since you were little, and I knew you weren't that kind of person," Han Zheng said, patting Han Yanru on the back with satisfaction, meaning, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you; you're a good person."
Meeting Han Yanru's gaze, Qi Jinhua instantly put on an act: "Han Yanru, let me tell you, even if you say all this, it's still your idea that you gave us, so you can't escape it."
The people who had been standing there understood Han Zhenglian's meaning, and especially after hearing Qi Jinhua's words, they knew the matter was settled. They all echoed his sentiments and then urged Gu Xing:
“Gu Xing, this is Qi Jinhua and the others’ fault. Yanru was just afraid something would happen, which is why she caused this scene today. You heard it too. If Yanru hadn’t stopped her, Xinyi would have…”
"Yes, it's all the fault of the Qi family. This afternoon, we'll have the brigade leader bring Qi Jinhua to apologize to you. Yanru was forced into it, and she's also Xinyi's sister. You're all family after all, it's not good to make things ugly."
Upon hearing this, Han Zhenglian, seeing that Gu Xing remained silent, turned to Qi Jinhua beside him and said, "Wait a moment, you and I will apologize in front of the villagers, or we will send you to the police station."
Then spread the word in the surrounding villages, and see who dares to marry their daughter to your son in the future.”
"I'll go apologize, I'll go apologize," she said, not wanting to admit her mistake, but only wanting to accept the money Han Yanru had promised to give her.
In a few words, we settled everything in no time.
Gu Rong felt uncomfortable, and Gu Xing felt even more uncomfortable, but the village was full of their own people, and Qi Jinhua was going along with them, so they couldn't possibly get what they wanted.
However, now that Qi Jinhua has admitted it and is willing to apologize, it can be considered as clearing Han Xinyi's name.
After all, the current situation does not allow them to verify the facts.
Gu Xing nodded in agreement, and the matter was settled.
Gu Rong stood silently to the side, a faint smile on her lips, but the way she looked at Han Yanru was the same way she used to look at her 'companions' in the mental hospital.
The matter was 'settled'. At 2 p.m., the brigade leader took Qi Jinhua and her son to the village entrance to apologize to Han Xinyi.
The family dinner was still going on, and it probably wasn't over yet, so Gu Xing used this as an excuse to take Gu Rong home.
After arriving home, everyone had almost finished eating, and Gu Rong and Gu Xing saw the people off together.
After everyone left, Gu Rong told Gu Xing to go back to her room and tell Han Xinyi what had happened, since it concerned the other party's reputation and the person involved needed to be clear about it.
Gu Xinggang pushed open the door and met Han Xinyi's gaze.
Normally, Gu Xing might feel embarrassed.
Having just experienced what happened, he now only feels distressed and guilty.
Seeing that Gu Xing looked unwell, Han Xinyi stepped forward with concern and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
He took Han Xinyi's hand and walked to the bedside to let her sit down. "We just went to the brigade leader's place. This is roughly what happened this morning..."
Gu Xing gave a brief explanation, especially mentioning that Han Yanru was the one who did it.
Feeling guilty for not handling the situation well, Gu Xing apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't handle this well and made you suffer."
Han Xinyi had experienced all of these things countless times, especially the favoritism shown by everyone; she was already used to it.
She was worried that Gu Xing would cancel the wedding because of what happened today.
But Gu Xing trusted her and didn't abandon her, and she was already very content.
Holding Gu Xing's hand, Han Xinyi smiled and said, "You handled it very well. I'm glad you didn't believe them."
Seeing that Han Xinyi was taking it all in stride and wasn't upset about it, Gu Xing's mood improved as well.
Thinking about what happened that day, Gu Xing blushed slightly: "I know very well what happened that day. I definitely don't believe what they said. I just feel that the way this matter was handled made you feel wronged."
Although it was a mess after she fell into the water, thankfully the outcome was good, and she is content to have such a wonderful husband: "I'm not wronged, really not wronged, thank you."
The two were all smiles in their room, but Ah-Xi in the next room was going crazy.
"Master, I think your ideas are really amazing, really great."
