Chapter 150: Forced Marriage (6)
Chapter 150: Forced Marriage (6)
At that time, he had completely understood that the person in front of him was not as easy to fool as others.
But so what?
Now that Ze Ge'er was mentioned, he would have an even better way to get that vicious woman Li to guide that dead old woman from the Liu family to agree to this matter.
Wang Mazi curled his lips slightly as he thought about it, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He felt as if he had taken a tranquilizer, and his restless heart instantly calmed down.
However, just as his thoughts were turning around and he was secretly proud of himself.
Seeing that Liu Dazhi's family was quite sensible, Liu Zheng did not want to talk about this with them, fearing that saying too much would backfire and bring anger upon Ze Ge'er, so he turned his eyes and looked over.
As luck would have it, he happened to see the dark light in Wang Mazi's eyes, which he had not yet been able to retract.
Liu Zheng paused, frowned, and looked at Wang Mazi carefully. Wang Mazi noticed something, and his sharp eyes suddenly became sad, as if Liu Zheng had just made a mistake.
Something is wrong. It is so wrong...
Over the years, Liu Zhengchenyin has been aware of all kinds of big and small things happening among the villagers, from trivial matters to fights and quarrels over the separation of the family, oh no, there have even been quarrels leading to the severance of relationships, so he can be said to be a man of wits and courage and has a keen eye.
Judging from Wang Mazi's expression, if he was not mistaken, it was 99% likely a look of determination...
Could it be that this matter was really set up by Wang Mazi as the Liu family said? In order to get Liu Baolian as his daughter-in-law for nothing?
Liu Zheng stared and pondered for a moment, then looked at Wang Mazi and said in a deep voice:
"People's words are terrible, and disaster comes from the mouth. No matter whether Wang Mazi said some of his words intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Baolian is just an unmarried girl, and her reputation is more important than anything else. Even if you really have a friendship, you have done something wrong, and you must apologize to her."
Wang Mazi said "hmm" with guilt, and nodded: "I know, this matter is indeed my fault. It's my fault."
After saying this, he actually turned to Liu Baolian under everyone's surprised gazes and said sincerely and humbly:
"Lian'er, I was wrong about this matter. I have wronged you these past few days. I am really sorry. Please forgive me. I came here today just to be responsible for you. I have no intention of forcing you."
Liu Baolian had originally resented Liu Zheng for bringing up irrelevant issues and embarrassing her in public, but now she suddenly heard him speaking up for her, and all the resentment and dissatisfaction in her heart disappeared.
Unfortunately, she was not happy for a few seconds before she was disgusted by Wang Mazi's next words.
"Bah! Don't talk nonsense to me. Why is what you said true? And I have no way to defend myself? Who are you trying to fool?"
As Liu Baolian spoke, tears began to flow.
Seeing this, Wang Mazi told her to stop crying with a look of heartache, which made Liu Baolian even more angry.
She sniffed and screamed, "Wang Mazi, I'm telling you, don't try to use this to blackmail my family and force me to marry you. Even if you say it a thousand times, I won't marry you, a deadbeat. Do you think you're worthy of marrying me? Dream on!"
Wang Mazi's heart suddenly sank when he heard this, as if he had been stabbed in the vitals. He looked straight at Liu Baolian and sneered in his heart: You stupid girl, today I'll let you see if I'm worthy!
"If you look down on me so much, why did you take the initiative to approach me in the first place?"
"…They are all fake. They were never related in the first place. How could they have been related in the first place?" Liu Baolian was so angry that her mouth was about to bubble.
"That's right, how come there's no coercion? You didn't have this attitude before the village chief came! Don't you look at your own character? Why would my Bao Lian fall for you?" Yu glanced at Wang Mazi coldly, the harshness and disgust in her eyes almost tangible.
She looked at Liu Zheng, "Village Chief, look at this, this bastard still refuses to repent. He wants to force my Bao Lian to death!"
After Yu finished speaking, she took advantage of the situation and started crying as usual.
"Oh, my poor granddaughter, how could she be so unlucky to be entangled by this damn scoundrel..."
Oh, what's the point of just a verbal apology?
Since you feel sorry for our Bao Lian, you should make some meaningful apology. Don't think you can just let it go. No way!
Facing Yu's attack, Wang Mazi frowned slightly, his face showing bitterness: "No, you really misunderstood me. The reason why I am willing to apologize is not to say that what I said was all fabricated, but because I realized that I was wrong."
"Grandpa Village Chief, look at this matter, this man is still talking nonsense and telling lies. How can I live my life in the future? Who would dare to marry a girl like me whose reputation has been damaged? Woo woo..." Liu Baolian sobbed with a pursed mouth.
Wang Mazi: "I, Lian'er..."
"enough!"
Seeing that after talking for so long Wang Mazi still failed to admit that he had slandered his daughter, and instead made his daughter cry, Liu Dazhi could not help but frown, his face was gloomy, and veins were throbbing.
His eyes were heavy, he glanced at Wang Mazi before looking at Liu Zheng, suppressing the anger in his heart and said:
"Village head, my daughter has been working with her family for the past few months. She has never gone anywhere alone. Even if she went to the river to wash clothes, there were many villagers by the river. How could she have time to spend with Wang Mazi?"
Liu Zheng stroked his beard and said, "That makes sense."
Wang Mazi refused to accept the offer. "Lian'er is indeed very hard-working. She has endless work to do every day. I feel very sorry for her. But even so, it doesn't prove that Lian'er has no contact with me. After all, how do you know that she has never met me when she was with her elders?"
As Wang Mazi spoke, he repeatedly glanced at Li who was pretending to be dead. His movements were so obvious that it was hard for anyone with a discerning eye to pretend they didn't see anything.
Combined with the fact that he had strangely asked Li to testify before, but Li hesitated for a long time and couldn't utter a word, he couldn't help but start to suspect that the reason Li did that was to cover up for her daughter?
Even Liu Zheng, who originally suspected that Wang Mazi was lying, became a little shaken when he noticed the strange expressions on everyone's faces and saw Liu Baolian subconsciously looking at Li, which caused Li to show a look of panic for a short time.
There was something fishy going on between this mother and daughter. Could it be that he was really thinking wrong? Otherwise, even if he was not feeling well, how could he still endure the bullying of his daughter?
The more Liu Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that there was a lot going on here, and the look he gave Liu Baolian's face became more profound and unexpected.
Liu Dazhi also realized the delicate situation and his face suddenly darkened.
"Wang Mazi, stop implying my family over and over again. I think you are just trying to retreat in order to advance, and then misleading everyone to follow your ideas and make all kinds of suspicions about my wife and daughter!"
No matter how stupid Liu Baolian was, she could still notice the change in the way Liu Zheng looked at her. She opened her eyes, which were swollen like walnuts, to try to hide her brief panic.
"Woo woo, Grandpa Village Chief, don't be fooled by him. How could I possibly like him? He was the one who almost became my brother-in-law. No, it was Brother Ze..."
For some reason, this damn scoundrel always brought up her mother as an issue, which made Liu Baolian always feel that things were not that simple.
Liu Zheng frowned. This seemed to make sense, but the reason seemed a little far-fetched. After all, a person's facial expressions, movements and eyes could not lie, and Li's reaction just now was obviously an act of guilt, including Liu Baolian.
Even if this is not the case, it can be inferred from the side that the matter between them and Wang Mazi is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, and there is at least something hidden.
Tsk, things are more complicated than he thought. Liu Zheng has a headache.
