The village chief's daughter got angry as she kept scolding. The fat on her face, which was so fat that her features were all blurred together, trembled. She raised her hand and was about to hit Hua Yulan, "If you dare to embarrass me, I will definitely not let your two families have an easy life in this village."

Hua Yulan was pushed to the side of the table, which fell over, with the dishes and chopsticks falling to the ground.

This movement attracted a lot of people's attention.

Xiang Qianjin also came and saw the mess on the ground, Hua Yulan sitting on the ground, and the village chief's daughter arrogantly cursing. Xiang Qianjin understood that she was taking out her anger on Hua Yulan because he didn't want to marry her.

He pushed his way into the crowd and pushed the village chief's daughter away. He looked angry and said to her fiercely, "What are you doing?"

The village chief's daughter groaned twice, "Shameless, you're protecting me right away."

"I'm going to deal with Hua Yulan. Who is she to you? How can she be a hindrance to you?"

Xiang Qianjin and Hua Yulan both looked embarrassed.

"What does it have to do with us? Just shut your stinky mouth."

Xiang Qianjin pointed at the village chief's daughter and said, "You hit someone and you think you're justified. You also keep talking nonsense and ruining people's reputation."

Xiang Qianjin then said to Hua Yulan: "If she hits you, call the police and let them deal with her."

Hua Yulan lost her father when she was young, and it was all up to her mother to raise the children. Her eldest brother was a fool, so Hua Yulan was used to being bullied and laughed at. When Xiang Qianjin said this, she didn't say anything, but just waved her hand softly, "No need, I'm fine."

Hua Yulan didn't even look at Xiang Qianjin. Even when Xiang Qianjin came over to help her, she dodged and stood up by herself.

Hua Yulan kept her head down, brushed the dirt off her clothes, and whispered, "Mom, let's go home."

Xiang Qianjin said angrily, "We can't just let this go!"

Hua Yulan was surrounded by the crowd of onlookers and couldn't get out for a while.

Seeing that Hua Yulan didn't dare to confront her head-on, the village chief's daughter snorted triumphantly and turned to leave, but Xiang Qianjin suddenly blocked her way and said, "Don't leave. You broke my things. I'm going to call the police and have them arrest you."

The village chief stood in front of his daughter and said, "Go ahead. Why call the police? It's just a small matter."

The village chief called out to everyone, "Come on, come on, everyone, help prop up the table and put away the things."

He said: "This bowl is made of enamel. It won't break if it falls. You can still use it."

Xiang Qianjin looked at the lonely Hua Yulan with a stern face, and the fire in his heart burned like gasoline, "No."

He did not mention Hua Yulan, but just used the topic to make a point, "Today is my sister's wedding, it's a big happy day for my family. Your village chief and his family came to our house and beat and smashed things. What's the meaning? Are you deliberately causing trouble to bring bad luck to my family?"

Xiang Qianjin wanted to pull the village head's daughter, "We can't just let this happen today. Come on, let's go to the police station and talk it out."

Xiang Qianjin's family is also a big family in the village, so they naturally don't like their family being bullied like this. Xiang Qianjin's uncle said, "That's right, the village chief can go to someone's house and cause trouble."

"We can't allow this kind of bullying to happen."

As soon as this was said, many people echoed it. Seeing that everyone was unhappy, the village chief quickly changed his words and said, "If you have something to say, just talk it over. We are all from the same village. I spoiled my daughter so much that she doesn't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. However, she didn't mean to cause trouble on such a good day in your house."

Xiang Qianjin was still upset and said unhappily, "Just saying it wasn't intentional is fine. Even if I pick up a weapon and smash your house, you can still say it wasn't intentional, okay?"

As soon as Xiang Qianjin finished speaking, Xiang's uncles, cousins, and relatives and friends who were coming to pick up the bride with their new brother-in-law shouted, "Let's go, grab your weapons."

Seeing the seriousness of the situation, the village chief slapped his daughter in the face and said, "You are always causing trouble for me."

He then said to Xiang Qianjin, "Qianjin, how about this, let her apologize to you? Just consider it as giving uncle some face."

The village chief forced his daughter to apologize to Xiang Qianjin. Xiang Qianjin had been out there for a few years and had become quite arrogant, so it was impossible to go against him.

Xiang Qianjin stood beside Hua Yulan and said, "We need her to apologize to Hua Yulan as well."

The village chief's daughter was not convinced when she heard this. She pointed at Xiang Qianjin and Hua Yulan and complained to her father, "See, I told you that they had been together for a long time, and it was because of Hua Yulan that Xiang Qianjin refused to marry me."

She lost her temper and said, "It has nothing to do with whether I am tall or short, fat or thin."

The village chief was upset because his wish to marry Xiang Qianjin was rejected by Xiang's family. He scolded his daughter and blamed her for eating five bean buns in one meal as a girl and not knowing how to be careful and eat so much fat. That's why Xiang Qianjin disliked him.

Xiang Qianjin was annoyed, "Auntie Hua and Hua Yulan are my guests today, it's not okay to cause trouble for them in my house."

"Apologize!"

The village chief's face changed immediately when he looked at his family because his daughter said that Xiang Qianjin had a relationship with Hua Yulan.

"My daughter is young and naive, she was talking nonsense," said the village chief, then he slapped his daughter a few more times and asked her to apologize to Xiang Qianjin and Hua Yulan and let the matter go.

The village chief's daughter didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. After she apologized, she was taken away by the village chief. When the onlookers had mostly dispersed, Xiang Qianjin walked up to Hua Yulan and asked her if she was hurt anywhere.

Hua Yulan said no and thanked Xiang Qianjin again. If he had not been so firm and unwilling to give in, she would have just let the matter go today. After all, he was standing up for her.

Before leaving, Hua Yulan clenched her palms. This was the first time she asked this question since Xiang Qianjin returned to his hometown. "I heard that you are getting engaged to the village chief's daughter?"

Her voice was small and not very firm.

Xiang Qianjin didn't even think about it. Almost the moment Hua Yulan finished speaking, he retorted: "Don't listen to her nonsense. It's not true."

After saying this, Xiang Qianjin began to feel annoyed again. He shouldn't be so excited. He should be calmer. In this way, he could express his thoughts to Hua Yulan. It was impossible for them to be together.

But the resolute words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them. Xiang Qianjin could only change the subject. He asked Hua Yulan, "Do you still remember when we were in school in town, because the distance was far, we had to eat lunch at school. We couldn't afford the meals cooked in the kitchen, so we could only eat the vegetable steamed bread we brought with us. When the village head's daughter saw us, she laughed at us, saying that we ate so much wild vegetables that our faces turned green."

Thinking of the past, Hua Yulan smiled, and Xiang Qianjin also found it funny and smiled.

He said, "It is impossible for me to marry someone like her."

Hua Yulan lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and suddenly said, "Then..."

Xiang Qianjin felt nervous. He was afraid that Hua Yulan would ask him about what he wrote in the letter. Xiang Qianjin had not yet figured out what to say.

At this time, Xiang Xiaoyun stood in front of the door and shouted, "Brother, Dad is looking for you."

Xiang Xiaoyun’s shout came at the right time.

Xiang Qianjin was afraid that Hua Yulan would say something inappropriate, so he subconsciously dodged. He also shouted back to Xiang Xiaoyun, "Here I come."

He said to Hua Yulan, "Something happened at home, so I won't talk to you for now. I'm leaving."

There was a flash of disappointment in Hua Yulan's eyes. Xiang Qianjin's attitude was vague, sometimes like this, sometimes like that. She couldn't understand it. However, she had a vague feeling in her heart that Xiang Qianjin seemed to be avoiding her.

Xiang Qianjin glanced at Hua Yulan out of the corner of his eye. Her figure was motionless. Xiang Qianjin sighed in his heart. Some things did not need to be said explicitly. Hua Yulan was a very smart girl and she would understand.

The next day, Xiang Qianjin hurriedly took the train back to the army in the dark. When Hua Yulan knew that he had left, the sun had already set the next day, and her heart was as lonely as the sunset.

Since then, she has not received a letter from him. Hua Yulan gradually understood. Her mother sat beside her when she was depressed, sighed and said, "Yulan, let's not try to reach for something that is out of reach. You two are not suitable for each other anymore."
