Chapter 1091: Chapter 1090: The Truth Emerges 4

Before Secretary Zheng and Chen Xingguo could speak, Wang Xinlai reflexively slapped his daughter!

"What nonsense have you been spouting to people outside? You’re a well-behaved girl, always around your mother and me, when would anyone have the chance to harass you?" Wang Xinlai, his eyes bloodshot, pulled her ear and roared hoarsely, "How many times have I told you that having a respectful and honest son-in-law is better than anything else? Why are you always fixated on Guan Cheng? Ruining the family’s reputation, I’ll beat you to death!"

As he spoke, he looked around for something to hit her with, while his wife clung tightly to him, and in the process, she managed to pull his hand away from Wang Lingzhi’s ear, although it was a bit too late. Wang Lingzhi’s ear had been pulled so hard by Wang Xinlai that it was bright red, almost bleeding.

Wang Lingzhi, covering her ear and with tears filling her eyes, not only felt no gratitude for her father’s deliberate action to exonerate her but instead accused him, "What era are we in? You’re still fixated on finding a son-in-law to join the household. If not for the phrase ’son-in-law to join the household,’ would Guan Cheng have treated me this way? I just like Guan Cheng, what is wrong with that?"

"You dare to speak! Have you no shame? You’ve completely thrown away my dignity!" Wang Xinlai wished he could strangle his daughter who he had so many hopes for. His expression became even more ferocious.

Wang Lingzhi sniffled and took a couple of steps backward, fearing her father would break free from her mother’s restraint and reach her, "Dad, that’s my happiness, my lifelong matter! I’ve already secretly agreed to marry Guan Cheng, I’m already his person, it’s a done deal. If you really care for me, you should find a way to make Guan Cheng marry me, everything else is meaningless!"

No sooner had her words fallen, than Guan Cheng, at the door, said, "Really? I wasn’t aware of that."

While speaking, Guan Cheng walked in with Wang Dachun, followed by Wang Chenglong and a few other young men who had gone out to sell vegetables.

"How come you’re back so soon? I thought by the time you delivered the vegetables to the county, it wouldn’t be until evening before you could return," Wang Zhenguo asked, glancing at the sky outside; it was only about one or two in the afternoon.

Wang Dachun said, "There was a tractor transporting goods to the county’s supply and marketing cooperative today, so we loaded the vegetables onto it and sent them back."

Fortunately, they had this option, which saved them time and effort and allowed them to coincidentally witness the incident in which Wang Lingzhi falsely accused Guan Cheng. Heaven indeed had eyes, preventing Wang Lingzhi’s success.

Following up, Wang Chenglong said, "We can all testify, early this morning Wang Lingzhi blocked our path and threatened and tempted Guan Cheng."

He swiftly described the scene as it had happened.

With the principal involved arriving at just the right moment for a confrontation, all of Wang Lingzhi’s accusations fell apart without a fight.

"This girl just doesn’t understand!" Wang Xinlai’s wife, with tears streaming down her face, said, "She’s young and naive, set in her ways, fixated on Guan Cheng, but luckily, she hasn’t caused any serious consequences. I beg of you, please don’t spread word of this once you leave. She’s our only daughter, and our family’s future depends on her!"

Grandfather Lu looked on with satisfaction as Lu’s father put down his cane, while he turned to face Wang Xinlai and his wife, "Don’t just dismiss it by saying she’s naive. Xibao’s parents are both military personnel; their family has been subjected to groundless defamation, suffering great damage to their reputation. This is called no loss? You bothered two commune officials to personally investigate, alarming the community, isn’t this causing a bad outcome? Secretary Zheng, Director Chen, this matter demands an explanation for the victims, such malicious behavior shouldn’t be tolerated!"

...A regular reminder, vote, grin.
