Chapter 259: Inform the Captain and His Wife
Liu Jingxue did not listen to the conversation between the two people.
From their words, we can infer that the male protagonist, who they are talking about looking for a wife, must have committed some crime before.
This incident probably had a great impact on this person, and many people in the town probably knew about it, causing no one in the town to be willing to marry their daughter to him.
That's why his parents thought of finding him a wife in the countryside.
No, it shouldn’t be about finding a wife, but about cheating on one.
The man must have committed a serious crime, otherwise he would not have allowed his daughter-in-law to marry him. He is also worried that she will cause trouble after she finds out.
The mother was thinking too well. She wanted to marry a good-tempered and easy-to-control daughter-in-law, and not only suppress her and prevent her from subsidizing her parents' home, but also wanted her to gain benefits from her parents' and husband's families.
They also suppress people so much that they dare not go back to their parents' home to complain after knowing the truth.
He even wanted to use his cousin who was in the Revolutionary Committee to suppress the woman's family from coming to cause trouble.
What’s even more hateful is that they even set their sights on Sister Guiying.
In the Red Star Production Brigade, who else could it be but Zhang Guiying, the brigade leader’s youngest daughter?
Unless there are several Red Star Production Brigades among the production brigades under the jurisdiction of the several communes in their town.
But it seems unlikely.
Now that I know about this, I must not let them succeed in their plan.
I just don’t know who the male protagonist they are talking about is, or what crime he has committed before.
Judging from what they said, someone in the team has already mentioned this matter to Aunt Sufen or the team leader, so they should know who the other party is.
Knowing who the other person is, I can go to the town and ask someone about it. I should be able to find out what crimes he has committed before.
"No, I can't stay in the town any longer, I have to report to the captain immediately.
Judging from what that person said, someone might come to the captain's house tomorrow to talk about this matter.
I have to tell the captain immediately and ask him to reject this matter immediately.
It would be best to ask someone to find out what crime that person had committed before.
I also have to inform the villagers, lest they see that he is from the town and seduce him into agreeing to the marriage, thus harming the girls in the village."
Liu Jingxue didn't care that it was still morning and she had just arrived and hurried back to the village.
When she was not far from the village, she lifted her invisibility and returned to the village openly.
The weather was good today and some villagers were walking around in the village. They greeted her when they saw her.
"Liu Zhiqing, are you going out today?"
"Aunt, I just went to town to do some work."
"You're pretty fast, you're back by now."
“I went early today and set out at daybreak.
I didn't spend any time in town. I came back as soon as I finished my business."
Liu Jingxue went straight to the team leader’s house and knocked on the door.
It was Zhang Jianshe who answered the door. When he heard that someone was looking for his parents, he took Liu Jingxue to his parents' room.
At this time, the team leader and his wife, as well as Zhang Guiying were sitting on the kang.
"Dad, Mom, Liu Zhiqing wants to see you about something."
Aunt Sufen saw Liu Jingxue following behind her son and quickly called out, "Xiaoxue, come in and sit on the kang."
After thanking Zhang Jianshe, Liu Jingxue took off her military coat, hat, scarf, and gloves and hung them on the hanger beside her.
If she dared to sit on the kang wearing this, she would definitely sweat.
Aunt Sufen sent Zhang Guiying to pour water for Liu Jingxue.
"Xiaoxue, what do you want to talk to us about?" Aunt Sufen asked.
Seeing that Zhang Guiying was not there, Liu Jingxue asked directly, "Aunt, Captain, has anyone in our village told Sister Guiying about a marriage in Mencheng?"
Aunt Sufen was surprised and asked, "Xiaoxue, how do you know this?
That person just mentioned it, and I hadn't agreed yet. I just said I'd think about it, so why did she say it out loud?
Why is she so talkative? Isn't this ruining our Guiying's reputation?"
Wu Sufen was a little angry.
If this matter gets out and nothing happens later, it will be a disgrace to Zhang Guiying.
“It seems that this is indeed the case.
Aunt Sufen, this was not told to me by anyone in our village, I just heard it by accident."
"Captain, Aunt Sufen, you must not agree to this marriage. That family is trying to deceive you into marriage."
"Marriage fraud." Aunt Sufen said sharply, then realized something and quickly lowered her voice.
"Xiaoxue, what news did you hear?"
At this time, Zhang Guiying came in with tea, "Mom, what are you talking about with Xiaoxue?
Who cheated in marriage?
"Don't interrupt, let Xiaoxue speak in detail," Aunt Sufen stopped her.
Liu Jingxue took the tea brought by Zhang Guiying and drank a few sips to moisten her throat.
"I went to town today and when I passed by a door, I heard someone talking there.
I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when I heard them mention the little daughter of the leader of the Red Star Production Brigade.
When I heard that, I realized I was talking about Sister Guiying, so I stopped immediately and hid outside to eavesdrop.
Luckily, the house is off the beaten track and not on the main road, otherwise it would be hard for me to eavesdrop with so many people coming and going."
Liu Jingxue recounted the conversation she had heard between the two.
Finally, she added, "The man's name was not mentioned in their conversation, and I couldn't ask anyone to find out what crimes he had committed before.
Thinking about what they said, someone has already mentioned this marriage to you, and will probably come to your house in the next two days to ask for your decision.
I was worried that you might be deceived and accept this marriage proposal, so I came back to tell you about it."
Wu Sufen was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and pulled Liu Jingxue's hand, "Xiaoxue, thank you so much.
To be honest, someone in our village actually introduced me to a marriage proposal in town. I thought the conditions were pretty good and wanted to agree to it.
It was your captain who thought that with such good conditions, why didn't you find a partner in the city, but had to find a country wife. There must be something going on. He asked me to hold off until we find out the situation clearly.
After hearing what you said, this marriage is really just as you said, a marriage of deception, and I cannot agree to it."
Liu Jingxue saw that Zhang Guiying next to her also had a pale face and red eyes, as if she was about to cry.
She said quickly, "Sister Guiying, don't worry, this matter has not been decided yet."
She looked at the captain and Wu Sufen, "Captain, Aunt, the conversation between the two did not mention the man's name, and I don't know if the man they were talking about is the one that others told Sister Guiying about.
To be on the safe side, you should ask the matchmaker about the man's identity and then go to the town to inquire.
According to that man's mother, none of the girls in the town were willing to marry him, so it was estimated that many people knew about his affair.
If you inquire carefully, you should be able to find out clearly. "
"Based on the current situation, that man's mother has made up her mind to find a daughter-in-law in the countryside. Even if you refuse, I'm afraid someone will still be tempted and be deceived.
There should be some girls of the right age in our village. The captain and his aunt need to talk to the uncles and aunts in the village to prevent the girls in the village from being deceived."
When Liu Jingxue was talking about this, the team leader was standing beside her with a frown on his face, smoking a pipe.
When she finished speaking, the captain nodded and said, “Xiaoxue is right, we need to find out the truth about this matter.
I thought it was unreliable before, but I didn’t expect it to be a marriage fraud.”
He looked at Wu Sufen, "Sufen, if that person comes to your house and talks about this matter again, don't refuse directly. Ask for his identity and name first.
When the time comes, I will ask someone to find out what kind of person he is and what crimes he has committed.
If he is really the son or nephew of those two, then we must tell the people in the village, and also tell people who are familiar with other production teams about this matter, so as not to let them harm the good girl. "
Wu Sufen assured, "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the man's name and identity.
If they really want to cheat in marriage, we must make them famous so that their plan will fail."
