Chapter 1231: Chapter 1227: I’ll Marry Her (Second Update)

After understanding the truth of the matter, Mu Shuangshuang not only did not blame Xing Beichen.

In her heart, she even gave him a thumbs up for his actions.

The reason is simply because his target was Ma Houhou!

When Mu Shuangshuang first arrived, she was harmed by this Ma Houhou to the point of coughing up blood, later she prepared a wasp’s nest and stung Ma Houhou all over his face.

She hadn’t seen Ma Houhou for a long time and originally thought he had reformed, but unexpectedly, he’s still as useless as ever!

Surrounded by the crowd, Ma Houhou tearfully said to everyone, "I, Ma Houhou, have never suffered such grievance in my life, I merely inquired about Miss Fu’s marriage!"

"Besides, does Miss Fu’s reputation need me to ruin it? She is a woman abandoned before marriage, perhaps her body isn’t even clean!"

Ma Houhou said carelessly, and immediately let out a miserable scream.

A stone fell from the sky, coincidentally hitting Ma Houhou.

A hole was instantly knocked in Ma Houhou’s head.

Blood gushed out, causing him to grimace in pain and continuously curse, "Which shameless smoking dog dared to hit me with a stone?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another stone fell from the sky.

This time it hit Ma Houhou right on the forehead!

Ma Houhou covered his head while cautiously looking around.

He saw nothing, but attracted the villagers’ taunts: "Ma Houhou, could it be you’ve done something guilty, and now Heaven is punishing you? Why doesn’t it hit others, only you?"

"Yes, why doesn’t it hit others, only you?"

Mu Shuangshuang loudly said while wiping the dust off her hands.

Upon hearing her voice, the crowd automatically made way.

Mu Shuangshuang was able to reach Ma Houhou.

"It’s you... it’s you, it’s you who hit me, right? You wicked girl, how ruthless you are, daring to strike so hard!" Ma Houhou accused Mu Shuangshuang.

But Mu Shuangshuang didn’t acknowledge it at all.

"Catch a thief with stolen goods, did you see me hit you with a stone? Clearly it’s Heaven punishing you!" Mu Shuangshuang earnestly used others’ words as her own.

Ma Houhou was nearly driven mad by Mu Shuangshuang’s words.

He rushed over, ready to swing his fists at Mu Shuangshuang, but before he could get close, Mu Shuangshuang kicked him away!

He crashed heavily to the ground, nearly breaking a bone.

"Oh, woe is me, being taught a lesson like this, and no one to help me..."

Failing with force, Ma Houhou began to act pitiful.

Tears and snot smeared all over his face as he spoke in utter misery!

The villagers watched Ma Houhou being beaten, and surprisingly started to feel a bit sympathetic.

They began to criticize Mu Shuangshuang for hitting him.

"The girl from Mu the Third’s family, how can such an unmarried girl strike so hard? Daring to do it in front of the whole village?"

"Exactly, do you take us for decoration? You better apologize to Ma Houhou!"

"I really don’t know how anyone would want a woman like this!"

Facing the criticism, Mu Shuangshuang showed no sign of fear.

She glanced at those talking about her, all lazy men from the village!

"Why did I hit him, are you blind? Ma Houhou came running at me, didn’t you see?

If he can hit me, why can’t I fight back?"

Mu Shuangshuang argued.

"You... you’re simply unreasonable!" someone said excitedly.

"I am unreasonable, I do want to hit people, so what?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.

A few men were so enraged by Mu Shuangshuang’s words, smoke was nearly coming out of their nostrils.

Just then, Uncle Fu came out from the yard, accompanied by Xing Beichen who had done the beating.

As soon as Xing Beichen appeared, his gaze was locked onto Ma Houhou.

Ma Houhou hurriedly stepped back several feet, glared at Xing Beichen with wide eyes, warning him.

"You... you aggressive brute, I tell you, I’ll report you to the authorities! I’ll make you end up in prison, just like Wang Erma!"

Wang Erma was put into the county’s prison years ago and hasn’t returned yet.

Rumor has it that he was taken somewhere to do hard labor.

Wang Family sold their courtyard in Er Gui Village.

Wang Erma’s wife even remarried with their son in March this year.

Many villagers knew about this.

So everyone was especially afraid of ending up in prison.

But Xing Beichen was not afraid!

"Go ahead and report, hurry up!" Xing Beichen said defiantly.

Not only that, he told the villagers, "I’ve been staying in this village for some time now, previously I had a great impression of it, but there are always a few boring people who like to stir up trouble!

Though I, Xing Beichen, am alone, I am definitely no coward. If anyone insults my friends or someone I want to protect, my fists will not hesitate!"

As soon as Xing Beichen finished speaking, Uncle Fu stood out as well.

"We’ve already discussed today’s matter with the village chief, Young Master Xing will cover Ma Houhou’s medical expenses, but that’s the end of it!"

Ma Houhou wasn’t a good person anyway; with this situation, Uncle Fu wouldn’t help him reclaim his fields, no matter how much money Ma Houhou offered!

"Medical expenses? Fine, all my bones are broken, make him give me a thousand taels!" Ma Houhou demanded greedily.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Beichen flatly refused.

"I won’t give a single penny! If you choose to report, then go ahead!"

"Uncle Fu, did you hear that? Don’t say I didn’t give you face, it’s this guy who’s unwilling! In that case, I’ll report!"

After speaking, Ma Houhou swaggered towards the village entrance.

He walked slowly as he expected Xing Beichen to call him back.

This way, he could continue demanding a thousand taels.

But Ma Houhou was almost at the village entrance, and no one called him back.

Uncle Fu wanted to call him, but Mu Shuangshuang stopped him.

"Uncle Fu, don’t bother with this matter, leave it to Beichen, he’ll handle it!"

Mu Shuangshuang said.

"But Ma Houhou is a hoodlum, if he starts acting like a rogue..."

"If he acts like a rogue, we’ll be even more roguish!" Mu Shuangshuang replied.

Uncle Fu sighed, then focused on Xing Beichen again.

"Earlier you told the chief you wanted to marry my daughter, is that true or false?"

Uncle Fu asked.

"It’s true, I’m not lying just to stay in Er Gui Village!"

Xing Beichen fought, and the first thing the village chief did was tell Xing Beichen to move out.

He said Xing Beichen wasn’t from Er Gui Village and shouldn’t stay there!

Xing Beichen then confessed his feelings for Fu Xiaonan, stating he intended to become a part of the village in the future and shouldn’t leave.

Besides, he wasn’t wrong!
