Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 195 The Weak Girl of the Age 2

Shen Pengzu looked at the crowd and forced a fake smile: "Brother, what's going on?"

Gu Jin clenched his hands tightly together, staring at Shen Pengzu fiercely: "Don't call me brother, I don't have a brother like you. I saved your life back then, and this is how you repay me now, right!"

The aunts watching also looked at Shen Pengzu with contempt.

Shen Pengzu frowned in confusion: "What on earth happened?"

"Mr. Shen, you were the one who insisted on arranging that child marriage. What are you doing now? Just because my sweetheart is in poor health, you deserve to be abused by your family, right? If your family doesn't want to continue this child marriage, just say so. I, Gu Jin, won't cling to your family. I, Gu Jin, can still afford to support my daughter!!!"

The aunties who were watching nodded wildly when they heard this. The daughter of the old Gu family had never worked in the fields and ate fine grains every day. Most families would not raise her so delicately.

Shen Pengzu: "Brother! You are really wrongly accusing me. I have never thought of canceling the engagement!"

"Oh, you haven't thought about breaking off the engagement, but I haven't seen you drive away the woman your son brought back. You're already married, but you brought a woman from outside back home. Old Shen, do you think we're blind?"

In front of so many people, Shen Pengzu couldn't bear that the woman was his son's girlfriend. His son's reputation was still important.

But Gu Jin's next words almost made Shen Pengzu faint.

"The daughter your son brought back ran to my house and boasted in front of my dear that she was Shen Bowen's girlfriend. She also said that my dear was a tuberculosis patient who was a burden to your son. She also knocked over the medicine that my dear was going to take. Your son wants to kill my dear. As long as my dear dies, this child marriage will be invalid, right? He is a soldier after all. His brain works well!!"

After Shen Pengzu heard this, his expression changed immediately. How could this be related to murder?

This... this cannot be linked to his son. He only has this one son. It was all that woman's fault! Yes, it was all that woman's fault! ! !

Thinking about it, Shen Pengzu quickly put the blame on the woman: "Brother, you are wrongly accusing Bowen. The woman was not brought back by Bowen. The woman followed here on her own. This has nothing to do with my Bowen!"

Shen Bowen, who had been listening to the noise outside, looked at Pu Yulan beside him in surprise. No wonder Pu Yulan looked so panicked after coming back from outside, but she refused to say what happened.

Shen Bowen lowered his voice and asked, "Yulan, did you really go to find Gu Nuanyi? And you knocked over the medicine?"

Pu Yulan lowered her head and stammered, "I don't know if she is really sick!"

Shen Bowen felt his eyes go dark, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It was you who did it!!"

If the army knew about this, he would definitely have no hope of promotion...

"You...why don't you go out and apologize to them! Gu Nuanyi is a soft-hearted and easy-going person. If you just give them a good talk and apologize, the matter will be over."

When Pu Yulan heard this, she stiffened her neck and said, "Why should I apologize, Shen Bowen? You told me that it was Gu Nuanyi who pestered you, but you didn't like her, and you also agreed that I went to find Gu Nuanyi. Now that something's wrong, you want to push me out, right?"

Then he looked Shen Bowen up and down and said disdainfully: "Don't forget who you relied on to become the deputy company commander!!!"

Shen Bowen's face changed. Thinking of Pu Yulan's background, he finally lowered his head and softened his voice: "Yulan, now that Gu Nuanyi has been rescued, but this matter is still shameful. If it is reported back to the army..."

Pu Yulan frowned and muttered in dissatisfaction: "It's really troublesome. It would be better if I just died..."

Niu Ru also nodded: "That's right, he is sick all day long, it's annoying to see him. Bowen's father is an old-fashioned man, he insists that saving his life is more important than heaven, he must repay it."

"These are all old ideas. They are no longer accepted in the new era."

Niu Ru said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law is right!"

Outdoors

The aunt next door to the Shen family said in a loud voice: "You said that woman has nothing to do with your Bowen? Why did Niu Ru call her daughter-in-law so affectionately and even cut meat to cook for her? Why didn't I see Niu Ru being so nice to Gu Nuanyi?"

Niu Ru rushed out of the house immediately after hearing this: "I can be nice to whoever I want to be nice to. My daughter-in-law is right. Gu Nuanyi is a tuberculosis patient. My son has inquired about it. She has a heart problem and it cannot be cured. This person should know his own limitations. A tuberculosis patient still wants to pester my son."

Gu Jin stared at Niu Ru. If Tang Bei hadn't held him back, Gu Jin would have already punched him.

The child he had cherished for 16 years was insulted like this again and again.

Tang Bei held onto Gu Jin tightly: "Old Jin, calm down!!! Even if you are right, you will become wrong. Let's cancel the marriage first!!"

He whispered in Gu Jin's ear: "When the marriage is called off, let's report to the police!"

Gu Jin's hand finally loosened. The captain was right. He was only venting his anger by beating Guaibao now, but the grievances he had suffered had not been resolved.

"Shen Pengzu, your Shen family looks down on my sweet baby, so let's call off this baby marriage!"

Niu Ru pulled Shen Pengzu's clothes hard, and kept looking into the room.

Shen Pengzu also wanted a healthy daughter-in-law to continue the Shen family's bloodline: "Brother, you were the one who canceled this child marriage!!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I am the one who wants to withdraw. Please return the silver bracelet I gave you when we got engaged!"

Shen Pengzu looked at Niu Ru and said, "Go get it now!"

Niu Ru looked a little flustered, his eyes darting around

Shen Pengzu pulled Niu Ru aside, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice and said, "Bring out the things, and the engagement will be cancelled! Didn't you make a fuss about canceling the engagement before?"

Niu Ru also whispered: "The silver bracelet was given to Yulan, how can I get it back?!"

"What? You are such a bitch that you are more likely to cause trouble than to help others!!!"

Gu Jin was still in a hurry to report to the police, and urged impatiently: "Hey! Where is the stuff? You, the Shen family, are forcing my dear to cancel the engagement, but you don't want to return the token. Why are you so greedy?"

Captain Tang Bei also looked down on the Shen family's behavior: "Shen Pengzu, I was the witness of this marriage back then, and I am still the witness of the cancellation of the engagement now. If you don't want to return the token, it means you don't want to cancel this child engagement."

Niu Ru immediately became anxious: "No, this kiss must be withdrawn!!"

Then he ran into the house, pulled Shen Bowen to a corner and said, "Take back the silver bracelet on Pu Yulan's hand. It was a token of love given by the Gu family when you were engaged. If you want to cancel the engagement now, you have to return it, otherwise you can't cancel it!"
