In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

Wang Jiqing paused, his eyes fixed on Cheng Erhua, observing his expression, and then said:

"I originally thought that I would mention this to you after you two have been together for a while and have a deeper relationship with each other."

"But I've been thinking about it over and over again in my heart. I'm really worried. I'm afraid that Xiaochan might really fall in love with you."

"But because of this past event, a rift developed between the two of you, which ultimately led to the end of this relationship."

"Xiaochan must be so sad. Her heart can't stand such a blow anymore."

"So, after thinking it over, I still think it's better to explain things to you now."

"If you or your family have any concerns about this, then let's make it clear as soon as possible and stop it. Don't waste each other's time and feelings."

As soon as Wang Jiqing finished speaking, Cheng Erhua responded without hesitation.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes sincere and firm, his tone unquestionable and decisive:

"Village Chief Wang, don't worry, I know something about Yang Chan. Before I came here, I had already heard about her past experiences through some channels in the village."

"Honestly, if I really minded this, I wouldn't be here today at all."

"In my opinion, it wasn't her fault at all. It's heartbreaking for a girl to suffer such a misfortune for no reason."

"How could I be prejudiced against her because of this? I never take those gossips seriously."

"I care more about Yang Chan as a person, her kindness, her gentleness, and the sincerity I felt when communicating with her."

When Wang Jiqing heard Cheng Erhua's straightforward answer, he was slightly startled, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

He originally thought that even if Cheng Erhua himself could accept it, his family might still have some concerns, but he didn't expect that this young man was so open-minded.

However, he quickly recovered from his surprise. After all, this was a major matter concerning Yang Chan's lifelong happiness and could not be taken lightly.

He frowned slightly and asked again:

"It's nice for you to think so, but marriage is not just about the two of you."

"You also have to go back and ask your parents for their opinions. If they have different ideas, this matter won't be that simple."

Cheng Erhua raised his lips, revealing a confident smile, and said calmly:

"Village Chief Wang, you don't need to worry about this. My parents actually know about Yang Chan's situation."

"They are all very open-minded people who have always taught me to distinguish right from wrong and not to be swayed by false statements from the outside world."

"They will never deny a girl's goodness or badness just because of some unfounded gossip."

"In my family, we value a person's character and inner qualities, and Yang Chan gives me the impression that she is a girl who is very worth getting to know and cherishing."

"So my parents also support me getting along with her."

After listening to Cheng Erhua's clear and sincere statement, Wang Jiqing felt as if a huge stone had fallen from his heart and he breathed a sigh of relief.

A gratified smile gradually appeared on his face, and his eyes showed a little more recognition and appreciation for Cheng Erhua. He said to Cheng Erhua earnestly:

"I am really relieved when you say that. Yang Chan has a miserable life. Both her parents died when she was young. Her aunt and I raised her."

"Over the years, I have treated her like my own daughter. She means a lot to me."

"I just hope that she can live a happy life in the future. Since you have decided to get along well with her, you should try to understand her."

"Don't look down on her just because she doesn't have parents to support her, do you understand?"

Cheng Erhua straightened his chest slightly, his expression solemn and serious, and said in a resounding voice:

"Village Chief Wang, you can put your heart back in your stomach. I, Cheng Erhua, am definitely not the kind of person who would bully a girl."

"What's more, Yang Chan is a girl with a pitiful life and a gentle and kind heart. I will only love her even more and protect her, and will never let her suffer the slightest injustice."

His eyes were full of determination and sincerity, as if he was telling a silent oath.

Wang Jiqing felt warm at heart when he heard this sincere assurance. He raised his hand and patted Cheng Erhua's shoulder heavily, his action full of trust and relief:

"Stop calling me Village Chief Wang. It seems too distant. Since you want to get along with Xiaochan, just call me Uncle Wang from now on."

Cheng Erhua's simple and honest face instantly broke into a brilliant smile. He grinned, with a hint of shyness and joy, and shouted loudly: "Uncle Wang!"

The sound was clear and loud, echoing in the yard, as if breaking down some kind of barrier and making the relationship between them much closer in an instant.

Wang Jianguo stood aside, watching this scene with a happy smile on his face. He turned sideways and whispered to Zhao Shuzhuo:

"Brother Zhao, look at this situation. It seems that this marriage is likely to be successful. Let's wait for the wedding to start. It will definitely be very lively when the time comes."

His eyes were shining with anticipation and joy, as if he had already seen the festive scene at the wedding.

Zhao Shuzhuo also laughed. He took a few steps forward and said to Wang Jiqing:

"Village Chief Wang, since things are going so smoothly, we won't bother you any more. As for the next things, just leave them to these two young people to develop slowly."

"They have their own fate and way of getting along with each other. All we can do is watch from the sidelines and occasionally give some small suggestions."

So, Wang Jianguo, Zhao Shuzhuo and Cheng Erhua once again said goodbye warmly to Wang Jiqing's family.

Their figures gradually walked out of Dali Village and came to the ox cart at the entrance of the village. Cheng Erhua was in a very good mood and took the initiative to pull the reins of the ox cart.

After everyone was seated securely on the ox cart, he gently waved the whip, and the ox cart started slowly, moving along the winding road towards Jianguo Village.

Along the way, Cheng Erhua's mood was as bright as the bright sunshine. He sat on the ox cart and hummed a cheerful little song involuntarily.

The melodious tune floated across the fields, attracting the birds on the roadside to chirp along.

The breeze gently brushed across his face, bringing the fragrance of the soil and the scent of crops in the fields.

His thoughts couldn't help but drift towards the beautiful picture of getting along with Yang Chan in the future, his heart full of longing and expectation.
