Novel Bin Chapter 547: Her Good Daughter
Chen Liang frowned and turned to look at Chen Yulan.
The latter looked calm and said slowly, “I’m already married. Now, my life is blissful and my family is happy. However, my mother is alone. She stays in the courtyard in town and doesn’t even have anyone to talk to. My heart aches for her. Uncle, you said before that as long as she meets a suitable person, you won’t object to my mother remarrying, right?”
Chen Liang nodded. He was not an unreasonable person. His second brother had died early, and Madam Fang was still young. If she found someone to live with, she would have someone to rely on in the future.
Chen Yulan sighed and said, “Uncle, you know that my mother is doing this for me. All these years, she has been gritting her teeth and holding on to this family. She has never mentioned marrying again, for fear of making me suffer. But now that I’m married, it’s time for her to let go. I advised her to find another partner and live with him in the future. When she grows old, she will have someone to take care of her. Previously, when I got to know Uncle Jiang, I thought that he was a good person and someone to rely on. His family is in town, so it’s convenient for her to see my mother. That’s why I advised my mother to consider it. My mother thinks that she’s already so old. There’s no need to make such a big deal out of it. She wanted to discuss it with Uncle Jiang first. If they don’t have any objections, then the two families can gather at a table for a meal and get to know each other. No one expected that they would meet a snake just after talking for a while. It’s such a coincidence.”
Now that the Imperial Court was encouraging widows to remarry, it was not shameful for Madam Fang to find another man to live with.
Chen Yulan’s words made people feel that she was quite sensible and filial.
Of course, there were also people who remained suspicious.
But so what if they suspected? The two of them were indeed together, so there would only be two outcomes. One was that they got married, and the other was that they were captured and sunk in the pond.
Chen Liang was the village chief and Madam Fang’s eldest son-in-law. He would definitely not take her to the pond.
Besides, there was no such rule in their village. They said that it was a punishment like sinking into a pond or burning to death. They were just scaring people. If they really killed someone like this, they would have nightmares at night.
On the other hand, Jiang Yongkang and Madam Fang were a little stunned.
Of course, Jiang Yongkang didn’t want to marry Madam Fang. He didn’t have a good impression of her.
However, Chen Yulan glared at him. She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, “If you want to die, just deny it. Then, tell them about the Gu family and see if they will kill you.”
Jiang Yongkang shuddered and fell silent.
Madam Fang felt her entire body turn cold as she looked at her daughter in disbelief.
She actually wanted to push her mother to Jiang Yongkang? Did she want her mother to be with this man? Was she crazy?
However, Chen Yulan said in a low voice, “Mother, let’s get over this matter first.”
Madam Fang opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she was speechless.
Chen Liang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether the other villagers present believed it or not, this explanation was still reasonable.
He looked at Madam Fang and then at Jiang Yongkang before saying, “I really don’t mind Sister-in-law marrying again. Since things have developed to this point, let’s sit down and discuss it.”
The villagers were still discussing. No matter what, they looked at Madam Fang with disdain.
The image of a chaste woman that Madam Fang had maintained in the village for so many years was completely shattered.
Seeing that he had heard enough, Tong Ping quietly climbed over the broken wall and ran back to the Gu residence.
