Chapter 257 257【I can rest assured if I give you Xiaomeng】


    ? Mrs. Qi Santai kept a straight face and ignored Xie Guangkun at all.


    To be honest, he doesn’t like Xie Guangkun very much.


    ?However, because at least we have some relatives. In addition, every time Xie Guangkun saw him, he always brought gifts, such as wild products and local chickens. The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person is just how you deal with him.


    ?But today when he saw him acting like this, going his own way and being unreasonable, he became angry.


    "Third wife, third wife..." Xie Guangkun was so frightened that he almost cried.


    ??If he is really detained in the police station, he will not be able to straighten his back and behave as a human being for the rest of his life.


    Seeing his pitiful appearance, there were so many villagers present, but no one was willing to say a word for him.


    At first glance, Xie Guangkun did this in an unethical manner. There is indeed a gap between Yongqiang and Xiaomeng, but as long as they are willing to do so. It''s really too much for him, an old man, to interfere like this.


    Secondly, the person he offended was the mayor, the biggest official in Songshan Town. In the eyes of the common people, he had poked a hole in the sky. After causing such a big disaster, who dares to intercede for him?


    "What''s going on, what''s going on..." At this moment, a man cried and squeezed in from the crowd. But it was Yongqiang’s mother, Zhao Jinfeng.


    This morning, she originally wanted to attend her son''s engagement ceremony. However, Xie Guangkun refused to let her go and locked her at home.


    She took advantage of Xie Guangkun''s departure and found a hammer to break the door lock, and then she was able to escape.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived here, I saw the old man being arrested. She was so frightened that she couldn''t even stop her bicycle, so she hurriedly squeezed in.


    "Old man, what''s wrong with you? Why do you want to arrest him?" She ran to the joint defense personnel and asked anxiously. Then she looked at Qi Santai and begged with tears, "Third wife, third wife, you Spare him, please spare him. I beg you, I beg you."


    “Cousin, don’t cry, don’t cry.” Qi Santai stepped forward quickly and said, “Whether you want to spare him or not is not up to me. It all depends on Guangkun’s performance.”


    "Mayor, Guangkun was also confused for a moment and did something wrong. As long as he promises not to do it again, you can show your respect." Accountant Xu stepped forward and handed him a step.


    “Guangkun, please take a step back.” He then said to Xie Guangkun.


    "Dad, please stop making trouble." Xie Lan and Pi Changshan also stepped forward to persuade him.


    Xie Guangkun sighed and nodded depressedly.


    At this point, he had no other choice but to bow his head.


    ??If he is really arrested, his reputation will be ruined. People would poke him in the spine, making him unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life.


    ??And after he was detained, he could no longer cause trouble, and his son and Xiaomeng would still be engaged.


    It means that he suffered in vain, bore the crime in vain, but did useless work. In this case, it is better to take a step back.


    “Director, he has admitted his mistake, what do you think should be done?” Mrs. Qi then asked the director.


    “Since the person involved has admitted his mistake and the damage caused is still controllable, let’s give him a warning.” The director nodded, “If he does it again, he will be severely punished next time.”


    “Yes, yes.” Xie Guangkun agreed. He was really embarrassed today.


    …


    The director immediately took the people away.


    Xiang Nan then came over and said, "Dad, Mom, cousin, since you are all here, let''s go in and have a drink."


    “Okay, it’s time to get off work anyway, so let’s go in and sit down.” Qi Santai said with a smile.


    He heard that Yongqiang was now prosperous and had written a book that sold for 300,000 yuan. This is probably the first time in the history of Songshan Town.


    He is so capable that he will write an article in the future to introduce his hometown well. Maybe Songshan Town will become famous because of it. Just like Sun Li in Baiyangdian, Mo Yan in Gaomi, Shen Congwen in border towns, Lu Yao in northern Shaanxi... a well-known writer is very effective in boosting local reputation.


    Xie Guangkun didn’t want to go at first, but in front of Mrs. Qi, he didn’t dare to say not to go. He was afraid that Mrs. Qi would fall out again and arrest him again.


    ?While hesitating, Xie Lan and Pi Changshan had already held his arms, dragged him, and finally invited him in.


    "Guangkun, just sit down. Let the child make the decision regarding the child''s affairs, and don''t get involved." Qi Santai advised, "Yongqiang is so capable now, you and he have a good relationship. , Can he not be filial to you? But if you mess up the relationship, your father and son will easily become enemies. What will it do to you?"


    “Okay, Third Madam, it’s all about your face.” Xie Guangkun nodded with a dark face.


    …


    After everyone sat down, Xiang Nan immediately ordered Wu Di, "Get ready for the banquet."


    Before the banquet, there is also a ceremony to send the betrothal gift.


    In fact, there is no certain process for getting engaged in the countryside.


    The man and the woman meet each other, give them engagement gifts, and treat their relatives and friends to a meal, and that’s pretty much it.


    ?However, when the villagers saw the engagement gift from Xiang Nan, they were all surprised.


    I saw that Xiang Nan’s gift was really expensive. Two boxes of Moutai, two boxes of Chinese cigarettes, two each of chickens, ducks and geese, two hundred pounds of pork, a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of gold necklaces, a pair of gold earrings, a pair of gold rings, a pair of couple watches... these are the gifts All together, it costs at least thirty to forty thousand yuan.


    It can be said that since the existence of Ivory Mountain Village, no one has given such a heavy engagement gift.


    “Oh, how much will this cost~”


    “Oh, such a big gold bracelet, such a long gold chain... Tsk, tsk, Yongqiang is really willing to spend money.”


    "Seventh brother, you are so lucky to have such a rich prospective son-in-law."


    “Xiaomeng, I envy you so much. Yongqiang really loves you and is willing to give you such a heavy gift.”


    The guests all praised and Wang Laoqi also felt that it was very honorable.


    ??Originally, Xie Guangkun made such a fuss just now, which made him feel shameless. If it weren''t for the fact that Yongqiang was a good kid, he would have turned his back on him and left on the spot.


    ?But now I see Xiang Nan giving such a generous gift and letting him show his face in front of the villagers. Moreover, Xie Guangkun also bowed his head, and the mayor Qi Santai also participated. He also regained his face, so he was no longer angry.


    “Hey, Yongqiang, we are all members of our own family, why are you giving such a heavy gift?” He blushed and said embarrassedly.


    “It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, I’m going to let you all know that I like Xiaomeng, I love Xiaomeng, and I want to give her everything I have.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.


    “Ouch~”


    Hearing what he said, all the folks here felt a little nervous. However, young people like Zhao Yutian, Liu Ying''er, and Xie Xiaomei all started to boo.


    ?Xiaomeng''s face turned red with embarrassment and he stayed there.


    “Okay, kid, with your words, I can rest assured that I can leave Xiaomeng to you.” Wang Laoqi nodded.


    Xie Guangkun felt regretful when he saw his son giving such a generous gift. If he had known this, he should have participated in this matter and not let Yongqiang do whatever he wanted.


    “Oh, how much more will this cost?” He said heartbrokenly.
