Chapter 115 Marriage Proposal [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

“She’s faking it,” Stone said. “She was running towards the village entrance while looking back. I was far enough away that she didn’t notice me. Judging from the direction she was going, she was probably heading into the city.”

"Go into the city." Shang Wan repeated the two words with amusement, guessing, "Could her lover be in the city?"

“It shouldn’t be someone from the city,” Xiao Huan said. “I just quietly asked Aunt Yao, and she has quite a few marks on her body, probably from yesterday…”

She paused, but everyone understood what she meant.

They had an affair just yesterday, but Gui didn't leave the village yesterday, and no outsiders entered the village either. The adulterer could only be a villager.

Shang Wan clicked her tongue lightly, "A spineless man." He dares to do something but doesn't dare to admit it; Gui Shi must be blind.

Whether Lady Gui was having an affair or not was none of their business. They had a lot of things to do and no time to concern themselves with other people's business.

However, they don't care, but there are plenty of people in the village who do.

Behind closed doors, the wives interrogated their husbands, trying to find out if they were the adulterers.

It was quite a lively afternoon, with sounds of pots and pans being smashed and couples arguing coming from house to house every now and then. The onlookers couldn't keep up with the noise.

The old woman and the girl in pink entered the village at this time, wondering why there were so many quarrels in the village.

The two walked and asked around until they finally found the Lin family.

When they knocked on the Lin family's door, Chen Guifang opened it. Upon seeing the old woman's face, she was genuinely taken aback.

What's that old hag doing coming to my house for no reason?
Seeing that Chen Guifang was blocking the door, neither calling out to anyone nor letting them in, the old woman's face darkened.

"Can't even greet people? Is she mute? Where's Xiaolan? I came all this way, and she didn't even come out to greet me."

Chen Guifang thought to herself, "I didn't ask you to come," but she couldn't say that on the surface. So she put on a smile, called out to the person, and led them inside.

Village Chief Lin was smoking his pipe in the courtyard when he saw the old woman and his face fell.

The old woman, her previously long face gone, warmly greeted the girl in pink, saying, "Yuzhi, this is your uncle, quickly greet him."

Liu Yuzhi called out softly, "Hello, Uncle."

Facing the younger generation, Village Chief Lin's expression softened slightly, and he nodded, "It's been a few years since I last saw you, you've all grown so much."

"That's right. Xiao Lan sent someone to deliver a message saying that she wants to find a good match for Yu Zhi. I heard that the person is a scholar."

The old woman, Madam Wei, smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on her face. "I was worried that I would miss Yuzhi's good time because I hadn't been able to wait for you to come and pick me up. So I brought this child over, so that it would be convenient for him to meet his future grandson-in-law."

The village chief's barely composed expression instantly became even uglier than before. How could he not know about this matter?
"Mother, Yuzhi." Upon hearing the news, Liu came out of the house in surprise, followed by Zhou.

"Aunt." Yuzhi was clearly familiar with Liu Shi and took the initiative to greet her.

Wei's face fell, and she snorted, "We waited and waited at home but no one came to pick us up, so we had no choice but to shamelessly come to our door and beg for our attention."

“Mother, you’re being too polite,” Liu explained. “Something happened at home, so I didn’t think of it for a moment.”

With a raised eyebrow, Madam Wei asked, "What could be more important than picking up your mother?"

Liu's face was filled with worry. "Mother, the second son is injured and hasn't woken up yet."

Startled, Madam Wei forgot to scold her daughter and asked Madam Liu to take her to see.

The mother and daughter were about to leave hand in hand when Village Chief Lin, with a stern face, kept them behind and asked Zhou to lead them to see what was going on.

Wei was somewhat afraid of her son-in-law, so she didn't dare to say anything more and pulled Liu Yuzhi into the house with Zhou.

In the courtyard, Village Chief Lin glared at Liu, "How come I didn't know you were going to arrange a marriage for Yuzhi? And a scholar at that? There's only one scholar in our village! Liu, what are you up to?"

“Honey, I didn’t have time to discuss this with you,” Liu said. “I was thinking, since we can’t beat that Lu guy, why not turn him into family? Then he’ll be on our side when there are good things in the future!” “Do you think that Shang guy is a pushover?” Village Chief Lin wanted to point his finger at Liu and curse.

Liu didn't care at all. "Yuzhi is beautiful and gentle. What man wouldn't like her? If a man wants to divorce his wife, can that man surnamed Shang stop him?"

Village Chief Lin was furious. "Even if Yuzhi is beautiful, is she as beautiful as that man surnamed Shang? Are you brainless or blind?"

“That woman surnamed Shang is so effeminate, she’s obviously not the type to settle down. How can she compare to Yuzhi?” In Liu’s eyes, Liu Yuzhi was a hundred or a thousand times better than Shang Wan.

Village Chief Lin was so angry that his chest ached and he didn't want to speak.

Liu said, "Honey, trust me this once. As long as Yuzhi goes around in front of Scholar Lu, I guarantee he'll be glued to her. Once the two of them get together and drive that Shang guy away, our family will still be able to walk all over the village like a hog."

Village Chief Lin's anger faltered, and inspired by Liu's words, he suddenly had an idea.

He softened his tone slightly, "Clean up the house and let Mother and Yuzhi stay there. We'll talk about the rest later."

Mrs. Liu quickly agreed and happily went to prepare the house.

Chen Guifang watched coldly, wondering what her father-in-law, who had always been at odds with his in-laws, was planning to keep them here.

The words are divided into two parts.

Xiao Huan went to the Zhang family to borrow a kitchen knife and happened to run into Rong Niangzi.

Madam Rong was carrying a small bamboo basket containing three packets of herbs, and was about to deliver the medicine to the Lu family.

“Good sister, I’ll take it home, so you won’t have to make the trip.”

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Madam Rong took Xiao Huan's arm and patted her lightly. "It's not just about delivering the medicine; I also want to have a word with my sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huan stopped insisting, and the two walked home hand in hand.

"Sister." Xiao Huan walked into the shed. "Madam Rong is here."

Shang Wan was eating bok choy when she heard this, so she put down the bok choy and went outside.

"Sister-in-law," Rong Niangzi called out affectionately, handing over the medicinal herbs in the bamboo basket. "This is the new medicine your brother Yuan prescribed. Have Brother Lu drink this tonight; it'll be very effective."

After thanking her, Shang Wan accepted the gift and sat down with Rong Niangzi to chat.

"It's getting late, sister-in-law, you should head back now." After sitting for a short while, Madam Rong stood up to take her leave.

Watching Madam Rong leave, Xiao Huan leaned closer and asked in confusion, "Sister, did Madam Rong come all this way just to chat with you?"

“Of course not.” Shang Wan shook her head and asked, “Do you know that a knife wound and a wound from a wild animal bite are different?”

Xiao Huan nodded halfway through, then suddenly realized something.

Yuan Musheng was a doctor, and since he was stitching up Gao Qi's wound, he could naturally see the trick to it.

Shang Wan said, "Sister-in-law came here specifically to put our minds at ease. Even if Brother Yuan notices something, he won't say anything."

Xiao Huan opened her mouth, "Sister, did you already know that Doctor Yuan wouldn't mention anything unusual about the wound?"

"Probably," Shang Wan said with a smile, "Now things can truly be considered over."

"What if they tell us later?"

It is said that people's hearts are fickle. Although Xiao Huan does not want to think too badly of people, it is always wise to be wary of others.
