Mysterious!
Strong!
This is everyone's understanding of Zhan Lingfeng. From now on, in addition to admiration, there is also a sense of awe towards Zhan Lingfeng.
For a person to defeat so many strong opponents is unimaginable for the Villagers, and they are shocked. When they look at Zhan Lingfeng, there is a sense of fear in their eyes.
When Zhan Lingfeng glanced at everyone, he understood that from this moment on, his prestige in the village would greatly increase, and no one would dare to question any of his decisions.
The screams had ended, and the people brought by the Huang Family also looked at Zhan Lingfeng with fear. Did Zhan Lingfeng just use the legendary acupoint sealing technique on everyone?
Thinking about the acupoint sealing technique made everyone realize that they had encountered an extraordinary hidden master.
Huang Dahe initially made his decision only to stop his son’s pain, but now there was a new Zhan Lingfeng.
"Get out of here!"
Zhan Lingfeng shouted in a deep voice.
Upon hearing Zhan Lingfeng's roar, these people quickly got up and didn’t dare to say another word; they all ran away.
While the people brought by the Huang Family fled, nearly everyone in the village gathered here. They had witnessed this astonishing turnaround and seemed to be waiting for Zhan Lingfeng to speak.
"Everyone disperse; the matter with the Li Family has been resolved."
Zhan Lingfeng said to the crowd.
At this moment, the Villagers seemed to awaken from a dream. They looked at Zhan Lingfeng with complex expressions before deciding to leave.
At that moment, Li Shitou shouted, "Fellow villagers, I have something to say."
Even Zhan Lingfeng was unsure of what he was going to say and looked over at him.
Li Shitou continued, "Everyone is here, and I, Li Shitou, want to speak some heartfelt words. I am not a good person; everyone knows the situation of my Li Family. I was blinded by desperation and thought about marrying my daughter off to a fool in his forties. However, we don't have the money to get through this hurdle."
Saying this, he looked at his daughter and said, "I am a father pushing my daughter into the fire. Fortunately, when we were at our wits' end, Xu helped our family by giving us sixteen thousand yuan. He said ten thousand was for us to pay off our debts, five thousand as a bride price for my son, and one thousand for our living expenses. Tell me, how can I, Li Shitou, repay such a large sum?"
The villagers then realized there was more to the story. Their gazes toward Zhan Lingfeng became more complex. Some family members glanced at their daughters with mixed feelings, thinking that if Zhan Lingfeng were to give them that much money, even if they received nothing in return, their daughters would have a way out and their own families would improve!
Some young wives looked at Zhan Lingfeng with similar complex emotions; this man truly was too good!
The villagers whispered among themselves as Li Shitou continued, "Don't think it's just me; our whole family can't repay this debt even if we starve ourselves. But this money is so desperately needed by the Li Family. I know Xu is a capable person; our son-in-law doesn't deserve him. However, for our Li Family, the only one we can offer is this son-in-law. According to the village's long-standing rules, from now on, he will belong to Xu. Xiaofang, don't blame your father; this is also an opportunity for you. From now on, you are Xu's woman. Xu is destined for greatness; even if he marries another wife in the future, you will still be his woman!"
Zhan Lingfeng was completely stunned. He realized that Li Shitou had intentionally set this up to wipe away his debts by exchanging his daughter—who was originally meant for a fool—for someone who would become his own woman. This arrangement truly benefited the Li Family.
However, Zhan Lingfeng discovered that there really were such unknown rules in the village: if one couldn't repay their debts, they could offer someone in exchange. Li Shitou had made it clear that even if his daughter married someone else outside, it wouldn't affect her life; she would still remain his hidden woman.
What on earth was going on?
At this moment, Li Shitou turned to his daughter Li Xiuli and said, "Xiaofang, don't blame your father. Today I will send you to Xu's house; make sure to serve your man well!"
He then looked at Huang Xiaocui and said, "In-laws, our Li Family really can't afford to support anyone anymore. Xiaofang will be sent to your home now. Don't worry; she understands things well and won't interfere with Xu's development or life."
Huang Xiaocui knew her son had lent money to the Li Family. Although she felt some pain over such a large sum of money, she still trusted her son. However, it was indeed a significant amount; she felt somewhat blocked in her heart. Now hearing Li Shitou's words and looking at the beautiful Xiaofang standing there, she immediately smiled and said, "Our family is small; having Xiaofang here will make it livelier. As long as she has no objections, I would certainly be happy."
As Huang Xiaocui spoke, she walked up to Li Xiuli and took her delicate hand and said, "You just need to say one word—do you agree to follow Xu? If you agree, from now on, under everyone's witness here, you will be my Warrior Family's woman."
Li Xiuli was completely stunned, not expecting that in the end, her father would still send her away.
Although she had guessed some of her father's thoughts, it was still painful for her to have her lifelong issue decided in front of so many people.
When she heard Huang Xiaocui's words, Li Xiuli really didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing the situation, Li Shitou said, "Child, you are young and tender. In-laws, let's settle this. Don't worry, it's not that our Li Family wants to take advantage of your Warrior Family. This marriage is recognized in the village; it doesn't matter how many women there are outside the village."
At this moment, Li Xiuli felt a bitter taste in her heart; her father had completely sold her out.
Not knowing where the courage came from, Li Xiuli glanced at Zhan Lingfeng and said, "I agree!"
Huang Xiaocui immediately became happy and pulled Li Xiuli, saying, "That's great! Son-in-law, from now on we are family. Come with me."
Throughout the entire process, no one even asked Zhan Lingfeng for his opinion.
Huang Xiaocui looked at her son and said, "Son, I think the son-in-law is very good. This matter is settled."
"Xiaocui, on this joyous occasion, we need to host a banquet in the village. We'll all help out."
Huang Xiaocui replied, "Alright, according to the village customs, everyone come to our house for dinner today."
