"Hey, Auntie, you said this yourself. I didn't say it. I only said that Sister Guerlain has never been to a private school, can't read or write, and has never said that she is vulgar."
Su Wan refused to admit it, smiling and calm, which was really irritating.
"You really don't understand the rules. When adults are talking, why do you, a junior, get in the way?"
She couldn't help it, so she just talked about the rules, and her face was extremely ugly.
"What our family Wan Wan said makes sense, and I mean the same thing. Village Chief He, I appreciate your kindness. Just take the money back. Our A-Jing's money has not been lost, and the thief has been caught." It’s time to send it to the government, please come back, and there will be no need to mention this matter again in the future!”
Su's father couldn't bear it any longer. He would not argue with them about this matter, but the friendship over the years was over, and there was no need to interact with them in the future.
Moreover, there is no way to pursue this matter. After all, the He family did not show their faces. They just refused to admit it. There is nothing they can do about it.
But through this incident, I got to know some people clearly, and I took it as a lesson.
When Su's father told the truth, the He family were all frightened and turned extremely pale.
Especially since they heard that the thief had been caught in this matter and the money was not lost. He was deliberately deceiving them. They may have known that the village chief He was the one behind the scenes.
So, what they did was to force them to take the initiative to reveal their flaws.
"You... you..."
"Yes, we know everything. The thief has also confessed that the person who ordered him to steal is an old man about fifty years old. He is fat and has a black mole behind his left ear. The thief has now been arrested. He is being held in prison!" Su's mother replied coldly.
Da Zaohua and He Jiaolan quickly looked at the head of their family, and saw Village Chief He lowering his head, wondering what he was thinking.
"Old Su, after so many years, you know in your heart that our family has helped your family. My daughter has been delayed in marrying for your son, and now she has become an old girl. But now you are unwilling to have her... "
"Stop, what does it mean to be delayed by our son? I don't like to hear this. It's just wishful thinking. How can you say that? Our A Jing never promised you to marry He Jiaolan, but you, on the surface, are acting like this. One set, one set on the back, we won’t argue with you, it’s all out of consideration, if you don’t want to go to the Yamen, then just come and tell them apart!”
Mother Su's teeth were itching with anger. How could these people be so shameless and want to depend on her son Su Jing? They were so shameless.
"What evidence do you have to prove that we did it?" Dazaohua said forcefully.
"The mole behind Uncle He's ear is enough to convict him. He has been controlled. As long as he identifies it and the people in the government office verify that it is exactly what he described, then he will be beaten. In addition to the jail sentence, Uncle He, you have to think clearly. You will not get any benefits by then, and you will not be able to achieve your goals. Marrying by force will not work, and it may also delay Sister Guerlain's reputation. It will be even more difficult for her to find a marriage in the future!"
Su Wan's main purpose is to scare people, betting that they are legally illiterate and dare not take this bet against themselves.
Another thing is, people who have done bad things have a guilty conscience, so how can they dare to take the initiative to go to the Yamen to file a complaint?
When it came to ruining her reputation, He Jiaolan didn't want to. She quickly grabbed her parents:
"You must not be like this, daddy. If my reputation is ruined, it will be even more impossible for Brother Jing to want me."
Village Chief He was also afraid that because of his title as village chief, he was able to obtain jurisdiction over the two fish ponds. If there was a dispute with the government, his position as village chief would not be preserved, and the villagers would alienate him.
So, knowing that he was wrong, he stood up and wanted to leave, not wanting to break his face.
The Su family no longer cares about these feelings, and he should just let it go.
But He Jiaolan was determined to marry Su Jing. She saw her father compromised. How could that be allowed?
So, with a plop, she knelt down:
"I can be a concubine, as long as I can be with Brother Jing, it's okay with me!"
"Pa~"
"Nonsense!"
Village Chief He slapped her in the face, knocking her to the ground.
He Jiaolan covered her face in disbelief, tears falling silently. Seeing this, Da Zaohua rushed forward to protect her.
"Why did you hit her?"
"I beat her shamelessly, and she actually asked me to be my concubine!"
In this dynasty, the lowest possible thing for a woman to do is to be a concubine, not to mention asking herself to be a concubine, and being a good citizen, she has simply lost the face of her ancestors for eight generations.
The Su family looked at each other, not expecting to hear such shameless words.
"Sister Guerlain, what's wrong with my eldest brother taking a concubine before he even started his official career? If word spreads, I'm afraid it will delay his official career. Don't say this again in the future!" Su Wan covered her mouth and snickered, The teasing was tinged with sarcasm.
"Then, I am willing to wait for Brother Jing. When the time is right for him, he can marry me again!"
He Jiaolan's shameless skills were top-notch, and everyone in the Su family laughed angrily.
Su Yun listened in the room. If Su Yi and Jiang Yu hadn't pulled him away, he would have rushed out and scolded them to death.
"You are so shameless, let me go out and scold them to death!"
"Fourth brother, don't be impulsive." Su Yi hugged his waist tightly and covered his mouth.
"Don't go and call him cute..."
"Be quiet, don't miss your parents' business!" Su Chen waited for him.
They were not prepared to get involved in this matter, leaving it to their parents to resolve it themselves.
"Guerlain, you are still young and beautiful, and your parents love you. I will definitely choose a good husband for you. In the future, you will be a husband and raise your children. How decent will it be to be a good wife? It's a pity that we, Ah Jing, are not so lucky. , If you can’t reach your home, then you should give up!”
Su's mother's tone was still gentle, but she was still holding back her anger.
"Old Su..." Village Chief He finally looked at his brother of many years.
He was right that he was plotting, but he also regarded him as a brother, and there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't want his family, the old He family, to have a poor family background for the rest of their lives.
"Village Chief He, please go back. Don't mention the matter of getting married in the future. We will no longer pursue the matter of theft. From now on, the friendship between you and my brothers is over. I will not publicize this matter. You From now on, I will still be the village chief of Yange'ao. Don't interact with me anymore, and those feelings will be offset. Don't use feelings as an excuse in the future."
Su's father was heartbroken and grew up. After they started their own families, the He family did help a lot, but after this incident, he no longer pursues the theft, which means that all the affection has been exhausted.
Village Chief He also felt ashamed. His face had been thrown to the ground and trampled on, and he couldn't stay any longer.
He grabbed his wife and daughter and prepared to leave, but He Jiaolan refused to leave.
"Dad, I won't leave!"
"If you don't leave, you will die outside. I won't care about you anymore." Village Chief He shook off their hands and walked away.
