As soon as these words came out, everyone who had just cursed was in an uproar. Even Uncle De, who was holding the box in the crowd, looked confused.
He, what did he say?
Get engaged to him?
who?
The girl from the banker?
Wang Da was stunned, and his hand holding the door loosened for a moment.
The thin man snorted coldly, slapped his hand away, and pushed his way into the crowd again, intending to break into the house.
The villagers looked at each other, and no one came forward to stop him. It was not that they were afraid of him, but this fact was strange. If it was true as he said, then the marriage today would definitely not be possible. And this woman If the second marriage is confirmed, the reputation of the girl to be married in their village will be ruined!
The man pushed aside the villagers who were in the way and walked to the main room. He looked up and down at Shen Ling, who was wearing the groom's auspicious suit, and spit out thick phlegm, which almost stained the brand new shoes.
Shen Ling lowered his head and glanced at the new shoes his mother-in-law had provided for himself, then raised his head again. His expression was cold, but there was a secret anger brewing in his dark eyes as he looked at the visitor.
Niudan shook subconsciously.
But thinking about the promised two taels of silver, my waist straightened up again.
I'm afraid that he's a bitch, he's just a pretty boy, and he's not big enough to hold my fist!
Shen Ling was also observing the man in front of him.
He was short and thin, wearing a dirty linen shirt. He had a slanted mouth and slanted eyes. He stood crookedly and looked like a rogue.
Ke'er can't possibly have any connection with him.
"Are you the cheap groom?" Niu Dan squinted, crossed his thin arms across his chest, and shouted rudely at Shen Ling, "Take off this wedding dress and put it on me."
"you!"
This time, before the boy could react, the village chief couldn't sit still.
He was invited to be a witness to the wedding today. He had originally wanted to help Shen Ling so that others would not take him lightly. But now it was better. He didn't know where he came from. This beautiful wedding ceremony has been turned into a mess. Now you actually have the nerve to ask Mr. Shen to take off his wedding clothes and give it to him?
"Shut up, who gave you the courage to talk nonsense!"
"Am I just talking nonsense?" Niu Dan did not directly answer the village chief's words. He squinted at the bride who had covered her head and couldn't see her face. He tilted his lips and sneered, turned around and said loudly to the courtyard, " Zhuang Da owed my father a gambling debt before he died, and when he couldn't pay it back, he asked his daughter to marry me, and my father agreed."
"My father is Niucheng from Sanlin Village."
After saying that, he kept his arms folded, as if to see what you can do to me.
"Niu Cheng? Sanlin Village Niu Cheng? Is this the Niu Cheng who always gambled with Zhuang Da in the past?"
"Yeah, I'm afraid he's really a great son. I saw some similarities."
"Boss Mr. Zhuang and Niu Cheng gambled together. Everyone knows this. Is this true?"
The villagers in the courtyard remembered that there was indeed such a person. They had never seen him go back to Erlizi Village with Zhuangda before. He was a rogue who would avoid him whenever he met him.
The discussion gradually became louder, and Uncle De was mixed in the crowd, feeling very anxious.
What the hell is going on? Why is it that you have to be polite and some kind of bullshit pops up! Don’t mess with my job!
But Niu Dan obviously heard the villagers' discussion clearly. He grinned and didn't mind adding fuel to the fire, "Oh, yes, this is not an engagement. This is obviously selling my daughter to my family! "
When these words came out, Qin Manzhi felt his eyes go dark and almost fainted.
It was Li Guihua who was there to help her, and pinched her tightly, forcing her to calm down.
"Don't listen to him! No matter how stupid Zhuang Da is, he will never do such a thing!"
Qin Manzhi shook her head. She knew that Zhuang Da, a man who had lived with her for decades, had become a different person since he got involved in gambling. He used to be considerate and meticulous, but later he became cruel and violent. She was beaten every day. .There were times when she hid money and the other party didn't find it. She was so angry that she took Ke'er out, saying that she could still sell some money and it wouldn't be a loss. At that time, she was so scared that she could only give away all the money. Only after giving it did the other party let go.
Therefore, now that this man came to her door, she really had no confidence. Because Zhuang Da was willing to sell his daughter in front of her, so it was not surprising that he could do such a thing behind her back in private.
Shen Ling turned around and looked at the slender figure wearing wedding clothes next to him.
The girl remained motionless, her expression under her scarf could not be discerned, only her hands exposed under her wide sleeves were tightly clenched.
Zhuang Keqing was extremely speechless.
Her gambler father really left a mess for himself even after he died!
What kind of cow egg? She doesn’t know it at all!
As soon as I heard the tone and tone of this man's words, I knew he was a leper. Come to think of it, how could he raise a good child by hanging out with a rotten gambler like his father all day long?
However, Zhuang Keqing was not really worried that the man would do anything to steal his bride. She vaguely felt that regardless of whether Zhuang Da had really made an agreement with him to sell his daughter, it seemed that this second-rate man had chosen this time to come to the door because he just wanted to knock on her. Just a pen of money.
However, she was really angry.
The wedding that I had worked so hard to prepare for nearly a month was suddenly messed up like this.
She felt that her fists were hardened! She had the urge to lift her hip and beat the guy up.
But within a second, Shen Ling's cold hands covered hers.
"Don't hurt your hand," he said.
Niudan turned around. He was extremely satisfied with the surprised, disdainful, and shrinking looks from the villagers. His eyes wandered to the pale Qin Manzhi at the top of the main room, and now he became even more courageous.
"This girl is supposed to be part of my family!"
After saying that, he stretched out his dirty hands and wanted to touch Zhuang Keqing, but he didn't expect it. Shen Ling didn't give him a chance at all, and directly protected him and turned around. He didn't even touch a corner of his clothes.
"You pretty face, why did you hug my wife and still not let go!"
Niu Dan immediately became anxious and rushed forward to snatch the person. Although he was not tall, he was really bluffing people by the way he was barking.
The village chief was old, so he couldn't stop him. After hearing what he just said, the villagers couldn't distinguish the truth from the lies for a moment. They were afraid of getting into trouble, so they could only watch blankly as the man rushed towards the newcomer.
Wang Da and Liu Zhuzi, who were on the outside, wanted to help but were a little far away. At this time, they squeezed desperately towards the main room.
Zhuang Keqing covered her head with a silk scarf and had no idea that Niu Dan was trying to catch her just now. She only felt the world spinning for a while, and the next moment she was pulled into a gentle embrace.
Xipa came loose due to the violent movement and fell to the ground. When she raised her head, she saw Shen Ling's eyes as cold and black as a cold pool in the dark night.
The cow egg was still squeaking, but Zhuang Keqing felt that the sound was very far away.
