Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Shouted "Chiang Laoer

His grandfather was one who kept this matter in mind and took it seriously.

If it hadn’t been for his father and that woman secretly thwarting his efforts to come to Peace Town to find someone, he would have probably already been tied to that "little fiancée" by now.

He just feared that the person who delivered the medicine back then took this matter seriously too, and if they really came looking for his family, it would not be easy to handle, and the impact would be bad.

Before, he truly didn’t take this matter to heart, but today he felt that it had to be dealt with, and dealt with thoroughly.

Every time he thought of Chiang Xiao’s tone when she drew clear boundaries with him and those cold eyes of hers, a fire ignited in his heart.

This fire wasn’t just directed at the girl, not just because of her cold indifference, but also because of the anger at himself. If he didn’t really have this arranged child marriage, why would he need to feel guilty? Why would he need to be so angered by that girl?

Only after sorting this issue out could he stand up tall and go find that girl.

He had already admitted in front of her relatives and townsfolk that he was her fiancé, how could he allow this matter to fall through now? What would the girl do to clean up the mess if it did?

He wasn’t willing to ruin anyone’s reputation, least of all that young girl’s.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be just as she said, that he was toying with her?

When had he ever toyed with her!

So, he had to take care of his side of things, and the title of the girl’s fiancé, he really had pegged it on himself.

At this moment, Meng Xinian didn’t delve into why his first thought was to call off this unknown arranged child marriage on his side and continue to be Chiang Xiao’s fiancé, instead of going with the flow and listening to Chiang Xiao, letting the matter drop.

He just felt that he should be responsible to Chiang Xiao.

Even if it was just in name.

The words were spoken by him, Sister-in-law was called by Zhao Erleng, and the impact was caused by him; it was only right that he should take responsibility for this matter.

If he didn’t sort out the arranged marriage, he really would have no face to appear in front of Chiang Xiao again.

To act like strangers and go their separate ways?

He wasn’t willing!

Meng Donghai, however, thought he was truly willing to fulfill this engagement, and immediately became overjoyed, hastily clarifying everything about the neighbor from back then in detail.

"I’ll tell you, the reason I agreed to this arranged child marriage back then was because that young brother was truly of good character. He made excellent medicine, and he had a jar of extremely fine medicinal liquor. I’ve heard that someone once offered a high price to buy that jar of medicinal liquor from him, and he was unwilling to sell. But as soon as he heard we were injured and needed medicine, he immediately brought all the medicine from his home to us, and even gave me that precious jar of medicinal liquor without taking a penny."

Meng Donghai continued, "That medicinal liquor is no ordinary thing; it was made with Wild Ginseng and a rare kind of snake. Nowadays, let alone that kind of snake having become extinct, even Wild Ginseng is extremely hard to find! That medicinal liquor could be called worth its weight in gold. Back then, when no one could eat their fill or wear warm clothes, who wouldn’t be tempted by a good price for such an item? Heh, but that young brother wasn’t tempted, he gave it to me for nothing!"

Previously, Meng Xinian also used to avoid hearing about the arranged child marriage; as soon as it was mentioned, he would run off. But now that Meng Xinian had taken the initiative to ask, Meng Donghai was naturally unstoppable as he spoke.

"He’s not from Peace Town, he’s from a small mountain village nearby; it’s my fault, I didn’t ask clearly which village it was exactly, or we would have found him already. Moreover, he was unwilling to tell us his name. I just heard someone call out to him from a distance as Chiang Laoer!"
