Chapter 1089: Chapter 1088: The Truth Emerges 2

Don’t mention how indignant the old master was; even the people present found it unbelievable.

"Sister-in-law Fengqin, just calling Wang Xinlai over won’t do. Get Wang Lingzhi here too, and in front of us all, let her explain how she came to know about the oppression and exploitation of Xiaoguan by the Lu Family, and let her talk about how Xiaoguan harassed her!" Wang Chenglong’s father, Old Wang Pot, spoke up directly— he surely hadn’t forgotten how Wang Lingzhi had badmouthed his beloved granddaughter behind their backs.

"Alright! I’ll call all three of them over!"

After Miao Fengqin left, the rest of the people looked toward Secretary Zheng and Chen Xingguo, all chattering at once.

"This matter cannot be tolerated, an investigation is essential, we must seek justice for Xiaoguan."

"Xiaoguan joined our brigade when he was just over ten years old; we’ve watched him grow up. He’s not only skilled in medicine but also possesses medical ethics. My old mother’s illness was cured by him, and he didn’t even charge a penny. He even picked the medicine himself from the mountains; we didn’t know how to prepare the herbs, so he did it and delivered it to us. He’s truly an exceptional child. If only I had a daughter, I would’ve pledged her to him."

"Exactly, Xiaoguan is regarded as an ideal son-in-law by many in the neighboring villages. How could he possibly resort to being a live-in son-in-law? Being a live-in son-in-law isn’t exactly a great profession; even the surname has to be changed."

"What on earth is that girl, Wang Lingzhi, thinking? She’s despicable!"

"Xiaoguan is not even twenty years old yet. He’s not married, and if he really gets stuck with such a dubious accusation, how’s he going to find a wife in the future? He has a younger brother to take care of, too!"

Upon hearing this remark, a flash of insight struck Grandpa Lu’s mind, "Could it be that Wang Lingzhi has this very intention?"

"What intention?" A chorus of voices from the crowd of young and old.

"It’s to ensure that Xiaoguan, who has a promising future and marriage prospects, ends up ruined and disgraced, with no one daring to marry him, thus forcing him to comply with her wishes and become her live-in son-in-law!" Despite his old age, Grandpa Lu had read widely and thought more quickly than the young, "Only this explanation could account for why Wang Lingzhi framed the Lu Family and Xiaoguan."

As soon as this was said, everyone clapped their hands in agreement.

"Definitely; Grandpa is absolutely right."

"Uncle Three, you’re really not old at all. Look at how clearly and understandingly you see things. We were all still confused, and you’ve already seen through Wang Lingzhi’s intentions. If it’s really the case, then we can’t let this slide."

"Right, if everyone starts emulating Wang Lingzhi, wouldn’t our brigade be in complete chaos? Xiaowang fancies Xiaoli, but Xiaoli doesn’t like Xiaowang. Then Xiaowang goes around telling others that Xiaoli has harassed him, rallying officials, family, and public opinion, applying pressure from multiple fronts, forcing Xiaoli to have no choice but to join him in revolutionary companionship. Xiaoli’s entire life would be ruined—who would want to live with someone who manipulated them?"

The speaker, Chen Dazhuang, got nods of deep agreement from everyone listening. Which family didn’t have an unmarried son, daughter, or grandchild?

When it comes to discussing marriage for their beloved children, every caring parent will choose carefully to protect their child from an unworthy partner. If they encountered a situation like Xiaoli’s, regardless of gender, their whole life would be wasted.

United by their shared outrage, they all denounced Wang Lingzhi.

Even Wang Lingzhi herself had not expected to face this situation when she entered the room with her parents.

"What are you all saying about our Lingzhi?" Wang Xinlai’s wife was confused and visibly unhappy, "Our Lingzhi is honest and well-behaved, yet here you all are, a group of grown men, slandering her. How decent is that!"
