Chapter 162: Do enough drama...
When they mentioned this, Grandma Dou's smile faded. "If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. She is so vicious at such a young age. You should be more careful in the future and don't fall into her trap again."
Facing the elders' concern, Xia Mo's mind was full of thoughts, and he responded obediently: "Don't worry, grandma, every failure makes you wiser, I won't fall into the same pit a second time."
Ling Chuan frowned slightly: "I was negligent that time." If it weren't for the young man's broad-mindedness and the help of his sister-in-law and Liu Yingying to look after him, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Granny Dou saw the regret that flashed across Ling Chuan's eyes, then looked at Xia Mo's face which said "how can I blame you?", and instantly put away all her worries, the smile in her eyes almost bursting out.
"That's good, that's good." Grandma Dou was relieved that Ze Ge'er had such a man to accompany him, and he also understood and cared about him. The life of two people was all about cherishing and understanding each other.
Qi remembered that they had just returned from the mountain and might not know that Liu Baolian was married, so she smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. Liu Baolian got married a few days ago. I'm afraid she doesn't have the mood to make trouble for you."
As soon as Qi finished speaking, Xia Mo's eyes widened in shock, "What? Sister-in-law, you said Liu Baolian got married? Who did she marry?"
Ling Chuan's eyelids also paused for a moment. Although it was not obvious, one could still clearly see the surprise in his eyes. As the saying goes, "A red man is redder than a red man." It can be seen that after staying with the actor for a long time, his acting skills have also improved a lot.
"You also know this person." Qi rolled her eyes, deliberately keeping the person in suspense.
"Who is it? Could it be Liu Baokun's classmate? I always heard them say that Liu Baolian was going to marry a rich man." Xia Mo said with a serious face, staring at Qi with shining eyes, asking her to speak quickly and stop keeping them in suspense.
"With her little reputation, she still wants to marry into a rich family? Don't dream, she is marrying Wang Mazi."
Qi didn't think it was strange that Liu Baolian wanted to marry into a wealthy family. People tend to go to higher places and water tends to flow to lower places, but there aren't many people who have such a huge gap between them.
Thinking of the lively scene at that time, Qi couldn't help but sneer. It was rare that even Wang Mazi, that rogue, could pretend to be a passionate man and do it convincingly.
"This is what happened. After you went up the mountain, Wang Mazi drank a lot and accidentally let slip that he and Liu Baolian had secretly gotten married, and then the news spread like wildfire in the village."
Qi took a breath and glanced at Xia Mo, who looked gossipy, and continued with a smile:
"Later, I don't know what Wang Mazi was thinking. He actually asked people to beat drums and gongs and came to propose marriage. It was really lively at the time. It's a pity that you were not here, otherwise we would have had some fun."
Xia Mo's mouth twitched as he smiled, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes: "Is this possible? The Liu family doesn't look like someone who can swallow this kind of anger."
Qi shrugged her shoulders. It was just like that. Selling her daughter could not only save her reputation which was rotting like shit, but also make money. Why not do it?
"It's true that I can't swallow it, but money talks. In order to marry Liu Baolian, Wang Mazi gave the Liu family a betrothal gift of 80 taels. You don't know how old Mrs. Liu's face changed at that time. She looked like she was singing an opera."
"Eighty taels? So much!" Xia Mo was dumbfounded, and the surprise on his face became even greater.
He looked at Ling Chuan, "Brother Ling, do you think they are short of money again? Otherwise, how could the Liu family be willing to let Wang Mazi carry her back the next day? They didn't even choose the day. They loved Liu Baolian very much in the past."
Ling Chuan pretended to frown: "I don't know, what does it have to do with us?"
"Yes, Ze'er, why do you care about their situation? As long as they haven't done anything to your family, it's fine." Qi agreed.
Xia Mo responded, and as if he had solved his confusion, he whispered, "No wonder they all looked at us like that, it turns out it's because of this."
"Hmm?" Granny Dou and Mrs. Qi looked at him at the same time.
Xia Mo smiled and briefly described what he encountered after coming down the mountain. After listening to him, Qi slapped his thigh.
"That's probably the case. At that time, Wang Mazi wanted to show his loyalty to his father-in-law, so he brought up your marriage a lot..."
After listening to Qi's vivid and detailed description, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan looked at each other and suddenly laughed. Even though they had already heard it once from Yingying, it did not reduce their joy at listening to the pain of their enemy again.
"I never thought that Wang Mazi is such a lovesick guy." Xia Mo said with emotion.
"Him? Come on." Qi was very disdainful. How much is the sincerity of a man who can get together with the mother of his beloved man worth?
"Time reveals a person's true character. What's fake is fake. No matter how real it looks, it's still fake. This is called karma." Grandma Dou said.
She had eaten more rice than Wang Mazi had walked, so even if she was just eavesdropping, she could conclude that this person was definitely not sincere.
Xia Mo nodded in agreement. "It's hard to change one's nature. Wang Mazi, a dung beetle, will probably never change his nature of digging up shit."
"Puchi! Hahaha, Ze Ge is still good at speaking. He scolds everyone he deserves..."
Before Xia Mo finished speaking, Qi burst into laughter, and soon she was so weak from laughing that she was half leaning on the table. If anyone was to blame, it could only be because Xia Mo described it too vividly, and she had a rich imagination.
When Grandma Dou heard what Qi said, she immediately reacted and started clapping and laughing.
Ling Chuan also looked at the young man with a smile. He had already experienced how powerful the young man's mouth was.
Xia Mo grinned, touched his nose with a smile, and argued softly: "No, I didn't even want to say that they were that, grandma, sister-in-law, you just believe me."
Qi wiped the corners of her eyes and said "hmm" twice, "I believe it, of course I believe it." But the thick smile on her face made her words seem insincere.
Xia Mo glanced at her accusingly, then turned to the man with a faint smile and said nothing: "Brother Ling..."
Facing the tender and exceptionally bright eyes cast by the young man, Ling Chuan straightened his spine slightly and said, "Well, I believe you."
Upon hearing this, Xia Mo's eyes immediately turned into stars, and he shouted in his heart: Oh, Brother Chuan, you are still the best!
When Qi looked up and saw his expression, she immediately wanted to tease him, "Oh, now you know how to find your elder brother Ling?"
How could Xia Mo not notice the teasing in Qi's tone? Sui also cooperated very well, raised his chin proudly, "Humph, who else can I go to if not Brother Ling? He is my strong backer!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Without waiting for Qi to answer, Ling Chuan said in a doting tone.
Qi turned her eyes away, indicating that she couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Look, is this still the Ze Ge'er she knew? After not seeing him for a few days, he has become like this.
As she silently watched the younger generations bickering, the smile in Grandma Dou's cloudy eyes never disappeared.
Ayun, the child you are most worried about is doing well. He has met a man who truly loves him. I have checked for you and there is no mistake.
