Cheng Wanwan's smile gradually disappeared.
She looked at the betrothal gift box in front of her, and then at the beaming matchmaker Huang, not knowing how to answer the question at all.
She always thought it was Shen Zheng's children playing tricks at home and never took it seriously. However, she never expected that Magistrate Shen would actually come to propose marriage.
But after having been in contact with Magistrate Shen so many times, she really didn't feel that Magistrate Shen had any such intentions for her.
Whenever Magistrate Shen showed any intention before, she would immediately snuff out the small flame.
"County Magistrate Shen is thirty-five this year. He is a talented person and has a dignified appearance. There is not a single woman in the back house. It is very clean. There is a sixty-year-old mother and a sixteen-year-old son. There are only three members of the Shen family. ." Matchmaker Huang introduced the situation with a smile, "Mrs. Zhao Cheng, you will directly take charge of the house after you get married. From now on, you will be the wife of the magistrate of our Ping'an County. There will be carriages in and out, and maids will wait on you. What a glorious thing it is... …”
Everyone in Dahe Village was shocked.
The county magistrate actually wants to marry their widow from Dahe Village!
What kind of bad luck did Dashan Niang have to be chosen by the county magistrate? From then on, Dashan Niang will be the county magistrate’s wife!
Oh my god, their Dahe Village actually has a county magistrate’s wife!
Mrs. Zhao opened her lips, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
She hopes that the life of the eldest daughter-in-law's family will be better and better. She does not mean to ask the eldest daughter-in-law to marry off. After she gets married, what will happen to the four children in the family.
However, she had to admit that the identity of the county magistrate's wife was very tempting. If the eldest daughter-in-law agreed to the marriage, the Zhao family would not even have a reason to object.
Mrs. Zhao panicked a little and grabbed Mr. Zhao's hand.
Old Man Zhao let out a long sigh. His wife was so powerful that she would leave Dahe Village sooner or later. This was something he expected.
He only hoped that after the eldest daughter-in-law became the county magistrate's wife, she would not forget the four children of the Zhao family.
Here, Mrs. Cheng's eyes almost popped out of her head. She thought she had heard wrongly, but when she saw the shocked expressions of everyone in Dahe Village, she knew it was true. The county Master Ling really wants to marry Cheng Wanwan, a little whore!
This is the county magistrate, the largest official in a county. If the prostitute becomes the county magistrate's wife, the Cheng family will be prosperous.
Mrs. Cheng's eyes were shining brightly, and she was about to speak in place of Cheng Wanwan.
Then I heard a clear voice.
"Everyone in Dahe Village knows that I, Mrs. Zhao Cheng, only have my deceased husband in my heart. I once swore on the grave of the children's father that I will never marry again in this life." Cheng Wanwan said slowly, "Please also Matchmaker Huang goes back and tells the county magistrate to take all these things back with her."
Matchmaker Huang picked her ears and said, "What did you say, I didn't hear clearly."
"My mother said that she will never marry again in this life." Zhao Sidan was confident and said loudly, "Even if you are the county magistrate, my mother will not marry."
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, County Magistrate Shen of Ping'an County, do you know who I am talking about?" Huang Matchmaker's face was filled with disbelief. "Do you know how many young girls in the city want to marry the County Magistrate? Your Majesty, instead of marrying a girl from an innocent family, proposes marriage to a woman like you who has given birth to four sons. How shameful is this? How can you refuse this marriage from the Magistrate? Are you crazy?"
Shen Zheng squeezed into the crowd: "Auntie, don't refuse so quickly. My father is still very good. Please think about it again."
Cheng Wanwan said solemnly: "Xiao Zheng, I know what you mean. I can accept you as my godson, and you can call me mother, but marrying your father is impossible."
"Hello, godmother, let's adopt the godmother." Mrs. Zhao said quickly, "Who in our village knows what ceremony to do to recognize the godmother, and we happened to do it together today."
"No!" Old Mrs. Cheng said angrily, "Cheng Wanwan, you are crazy, you dare to refuse the marriage proposed by the county magistrate, you are so shameless! How can you, a widow of a dead man, have a man? That’s good. An official like the county magistrate likes you because of the smoke coming out of our Cheng family’s ancestral graves. You must not refuse! You must agree! You must be the county magistrate’s wife!”
Matchmaker Huang is the most famous matchmaker in Ping'an Town. Whenever she comes forward to protect the matchmaker, she is always successful, especially in this kind of marriage where the status of the man and woman is quite disparate. On the way here, she imagined more than a hundred things about Zhao Cheng's family. reaction, but unexpectedly, the widow refused, and refused without mercy!
She now vaguely understood why the county magistrate fell in love with a village woman.
Matchmaker Huang took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to be so hasty to refuse. I'll give you three days to think about it. I'll come back in three days."
Cheng Wanwan said nothing more. After all, the other party was the county magistrate. Rejecting him without mercy would be detrimental to the magistrate's face.
She would go to town tomorrow and talk to the magistrate in private.
Matchmaker Huang asked people to carry the bride price onto the carriage, and the carriage soon drove out of Dahe Village and disappeared on the main road.
Shen Zheng was in despair and stumbled onto a chair.
The four boys from the Zhao family smiled happily, and Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
The man who came with Old Mrs. Cheng didn't know what to say anymore. The county magistrate was rejected by this widow. His rejection didn't seem to be so difficult to accept. People are like this. Once someone is worse off than him, he instantly feels... Not bad anymore.
"You idiot, how dare you refuse the marriage proposal of the county magistrate!" Mrs. Cheng couldn't control her emotions. She rushed towards Cheng Wanwan and grabbed Cheng Wanwan by the collar, "This is the ancestral grave of the Cheng family. You dare to make the decision without permission for such a great happy event, but I refuse it. I’ll see if I don’t beat you to death, you idiot!"
"Grandma!!"
Cheng Zhao quickly went to grab someone.
But Mrs. Cheng was so angry that she lost all reason and started beating people.
Cheng Wanwan quickly dodged and took a step back. Mrs. Zhao immediately protected her behind her and started to choke Mrs. Cheng.
At this moment, Zhao Sidan suddenly screamed in fear: "Look, is a wild boar charging over?"
Everyone looked over and saw a black wild boar rushing straight into the yard from the other side of the mountain.
It was broad daylight and I didn’t know why the wild boar came down the mountain.
The onlookers were so stunned that they didn’t know how to move their feet.
Cheng Wanwan said calmly: "Get out of here and hide in the house."
I don't know when the people in Dahe Village began to especially listen to Cheng Wanwan's words. As soon as she spoke, everyone immediately went to the back room to take shelter.
This wild boar is so aggressive that it would be no joke if it hits someone.
The power of an adult wild boar is very terrifying. Even if three or four experienced hunters come together, there is no guarantee that they can control it.
Old Mrs. Cheng was completely trapped in her emotions. Everyone was looking for a place to take shelter, but she stood there and viciously scolded Cheng Wanwan for being a fool.
Cheng Zhao hurriedly went over to grab someone: "Grandma, come with me over there quickly."
Old Mrs. Cheng threw him away, pointed at Cheng's crooked nose and yelled: "Little whore, you..."
The wild boar is getting closer.
Cheng Zhao rushed towards Mrs. Cheng.
Cheng Wanwan grabbed Cheng Zhao and said, "You're crazy!"
Old Mrs. Cheng is seeking death herself, and she cannot let this outstanding young man die with her.
She hugged Cheng Zhao and said loudly: "Be smaller!"
Xiaodian had heard the noise a long time ago and rushed over like a gust of wind.
The wild boar was getting closer and closer to Old Mrs. Cheng, making loud beastly noises. Only then did Old Mrs. Cheng realize what had happened. She stayed in place, fell to the ground, and watched in horror as the wild boar roared towards her.
