Chapter 1085: Chapter 1084: By Any Means Necessary 4

Secretary Zheng interjected, "Right, a matter of this magnitude should not be taken lightly. The truth must be thoroughly investigated so that if anyone asks, we have an explanation. This will prevent some people from believing and spreading rumors without discernment, affecting the reputation of the Lu Family and Guan Cheng."

Among the many movements of the present day, how much of the accusations are based on mere conjecture? Only those involved know for certain.

With heightened anger, Wang Zhengguo said, "We definitely need to investigate thoroughly in order to vindicate the innocent! Guan Cheng left early to sell vegetables and isn’t home at the moment, but Guan Yu is here. You can take him aside and ask him whether the Lu Family saved him or simply treated him as a servant. Before going to the Lu Family, you could also visit our fellow villagers to ask how the Lu Family adopted a child and their treatment of him; they’ve seen it all. As for Wang Lingzhi’s allegation that Guan Cheng harassed her, that’s utterly impossible!"

Chen Xingguo and Secretary Zheng’s words had infuriated Wang Zhengguo.

Having managed the affairs of Wanglou Brigade for over twenty years, Wang Zhengguo had never heard of such shameless people.

Miao Fengqin came over to pour water for them and casually said, "Comrades, you cannot just take Wang Lingzhi’s word for it! In my opinion, she’s harboring resentment and deliberately slandering him. Wang Lingzhi’s family saw that Guan Cheng was an outsider and wanted to make him their son-in-law, but Guan Cheng immediately refused. He always leaves early and returns late with others; when would he even have the time to harass Wang Lingzhi?"

She paused and then continued, "Hearing what you comrades have said, I can’t help but feel that it’s Wang Lingzhi who is using the guise of improper male-female relations to frame Guan Cheng, forcing him to become their son-in-law. You really must investigate this thoroughly."

Chen Xingguo said, "Sister-in-law, what you’re saying differs from what Wang Lingzhi said."

"Where does it differ? Let us hear it. Later, we can bring the village elders together to see who is actually spreading nonsense!" Miao Fengqin was speaking the truth, unafraid that her words might be exposed and punctured.

Secretary Zheng chuckled, "Wang Lingzhi claims that she and Guan Cheng had long been betrothed and already pledged themselves to each other, with Guan Cheng agreeing to live with her family. She said it was the Lu Family who meddled, opposing their union as revolutionary comrades. Yet you say Guan Cheng refused to become their son-in-law..."

Upon hearing this, Miao Fengqin spat out in disdain, "Shameless! What betrothal, what pledge of oneself? Where is the girl’s modesty? To talk such rubbish in front of you, and you believe her? Where is your discernment? Everyone knows Guan Cheng is a well-behaved, decent boy. Several families, including those from the city, have wanted to marry their daughters to him, but he has rejected them. This shows just how popular our Guan Cheng is. How could he possibly agree to become Wang Lingzhi’s son-in-law? How could he possibly have a secret betrothal with Wang Lingzhi? Her face must be thicker than a pot lid! This is truly the most laughable joke I’ve heard this year."

"City folks want to take Guan Cheng as their son-in-law? Is that true?" asked Chen Xingguo curiously.

"Of course it’s true. Why would I lie to you?" replied Miao Fengqin, spilling words like bamboo tubes spilling beans, without a break in her speech, "My son-in-law is a master butcher in the city, and people asked him to make the match, which he passed on to me. The girl is Guan Cheng’s high school classmate. Her mother works at the power plant and her father, a Chinese teacher, is also Guan Cheng’s former teacher. I think his name is Yu, and Teacher Yu likes Guan Cheng very much."
