After the banquet, Kang Jiawei and Du Manlin appeared publicly as husband and wife for the first time in the streets and alleys of the county. After walking around the streets, the two came to the Xunjiang Bridge. Looking over the railing, they saw bright lights above and below the water.

, listened carefully, but heard the roar of the river going west.

Kang Jiawei held his hand on the bridge railing and chanted softly: "Bridge, the bridge of my hometown, the bridge of the nation. One end of you connects the poverty of the past, and the other end connects the prosperity of today. The solid piers are the unyielding personality of our nation."

Bridges fly to the north and south, and natural chasms become roads. The great China has successfully built ideal bridges leading to a well-off society and the world."

At this time, a wisp of river wind blew towards her face. Du Manlin couldn't help but shudder, and Kang Jiawei took her into his arms.

"Jiawei, stop moaning, I know you enjoy it in your mouth but it hurts in your heart."

"How can I feel any pain if I can marry such a good wife like you?"

"Stop pretending, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. I know you are worried about the expensive gift of 150,000 yuan!"

"Man Lin, don't worry about me, 150,000 yuan is already very cheap to marry such a good wife like you."

"But where did you get the 150,000?"

"This is not a problem you are worried about. I will find a way."

"What can you do? Even if you borrow from others, you won't be able to borrow so much in a short time."

Kang Jiawei looked up at the sky with twinkling stars, then withdrew his gaze for a moment, stared at Du Manlin intently, and sighed: "There is no perfect way, and there will always be a way."

Du Manlin sighed: "I have a way for us to be together without incurring a huge debt."

"What can I do? Let me tell you."

"elopement."

"Elope?" Kang Jiawei couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, this is the best and only way at present." Du Manlin was very calm.

"Are you crazy? If you do this, not only will your reputation be ruined, but your mother will hate me forever."

"I'm not worried about what you are worried about. In fact, it's not even an elopement. We are actually husband and wife. Marriage is just a ceremony. What I mean by elopement is to avoid this ceremony and avoid incurring a lot of debt."

"No, I won't agree to do this either emotionally or rationally. I can't let others say that I can't afford my wife and abduct someone else's daughter, and I can't let others say that the Du family's daughter abandons Xiaoyi and goes with someone else's daughter.

The man ran away. A man should be upright, aboveboard, and dare to take responsibility."

"Jiawei, you are such a good man. There is nothing wrong with loving you and marrying you." Du Manlin suddenly stood up on tiptoes and gave Kang Jiawei a loud kiss.

The two of them walked slowly along the sidewalk of the bridge, and soon they came to the midpoint of the bridge, where Du Manlin once fought for love. Kang Jiawei looked down at the waves illuminated by the lights under the bridge, and couldn't help but take a breath.

"How dangerous it was. Fortunately, you didn't jump down. Otherwise, I would have gone with you, and we could have a family and a career in another world."

Du Manlin burst out laughing suddenly: "You are stupid, do you think I am really dancing? I am willing to leave you and your parents and go alone?"

Kang Jiawei woke up from a dream: "So you are acting! No wonder your mother praised you for being smart and wise."

"If you don't act, can my mother agree to our marriage?"

Kang Jiawei raised his thumb: "Your trick is quite effective, but it is a dangerous trick!"

The two stopped and looked around for a while, then returned along the same path. Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped off the Xunjiang Bridge, they ran into the drunk Li Shijing and his group who were coming out of the Hakka Red Hotel. Du Manlin wanted to avoid him, but it was too late.

When she arrived, Li Shijing stood in front of her while dancing.

"Oh, what a blessing it is today, I bumped into my future wife as soon as I left the house." Li Shijing smiled playfully, his lustful eyes covering Du Manlin's phone calls.

"Are you drunk too much? Who is your wife?" Du Manlin glared at him angrily.

"My mother came to propose marriage, and your mother agreed. Do you think she is my wife?"

"My mother promised you to go to my mother, but I didn't agree anyway."

"You didn't agree, did you? I'm going to ask you to agree now." Li Shijing suddenly hugged Du Manlin and moved towards her with a furry mouth.

Du Manlin used all her strength to push Li Shijing away and slapped him hard. This angered Li Shijing, who screamed and rushed towards Du Manlin. At this time, Kang Jiawei dodged and blocked Du Manlin.

in front of you.

"Who are you? Do you want to be a hero and save the beauty?" Li Shijing roared at Kang Jiawei.

"I am Du Manlin's husband." Kang Jiawei was upright and showed no fear.

Li Shijing recognized Kang Jiawei at a glance: "You, aren't you just a little carpenter who does interior decoration? Doesn't your mother pick up rags on the street every day? People like you won't even wash Du Manlin's feet and wipe her butt.

Why would she ask you to be her husband? Are you just telling a joke or talking in your sleep?"

"I won't say anything. You have the eyes to see for yourself!" Kang Jiawei showed his marriage certificate.

Li Shijing came closer and took a closer look. He didn't believe it and looked at Du Manlin doubtfully: "Is this true?"

Du Manlin said coldly: "We have black and white writing on the paper, photos, and seals. Will there be any fake ones?"

Li Shijing suddenly grabbed Kang Jiawei's collar: "Kang, are you tired of living? How dare you steal my wife."

"Your wife? Show it to me."

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at the marriage certificate. Why do you say she is your wife without a marriage certificate?"

Li Shijing showed a ferocious face: "Just because I am Li Shijing, Li Shijing, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard it too much, and it makes me sick. Don't you just rely on me to be rich and my mother to have the right?"

When Kang Jiawei and Li Shijing were confronting each other, Du Manlin quietly dialed 110 to call the police. At this time, she found that Boss Ma from Pacific Clothing Supermarket was hiding under a tree with his mobile phone and secretly recording the video. She smiled and nodded at him.

More and more people gathered around them, surrounding them in the center, and the confrontation between Kang Jiawei and Li Shijing also escalated.

"Please take your hands away and don't dirty my clothes." Kang Jiawei glared.

Li Shijing chuckled: "I will not only drag you, but also beat you." As he said that, he punched Kang Jiawei with his fist.

Kang Jiawei quickly took action, grabbed Li Shijing's wrist, and slowly applied force. Li Shijing grinned in pain and screamed. When several of his accomplices saw that Li Shijing had suffered a loss, they punched forward.

Kang Jiawei roared: "If you want Li Shijing to lose a hand, then just come up."

Several accomplices were unsure and looked at each other.

At this moment, several police officers pushed aside the crowd and surrounded Kang Jiawei and Li Shijing.

A fat policeman ordered: "Stop, everyone, stop it."

Kang Jiawei let go, and Li Shijing cried: "My hand, my hand is broken."

Du Manlin stepped forward: "Brother policeman, it was Li Shijing who beat him first, and Kang Jiawei acted in self-defense."

Li Shijing argued: "You are slandering me. It was obviously that bastard named Kang who was looking for trouble. He broke my hand first."

The fat policeman tapped his wrist lightly with his baton, and he raised his hand instinctively and flexibly.

The fat policeman smiled and said: "It's okay, my hands are fine!"

The crowd of onlookers roared with laughter.

The fat police officer ordered: "Bring everyone involved in the fight back to the station." Then, he turned back and asked Du Manlin, "Are you the girl who jumped into the river and was saved by Director Wang?"

"Yes." Du Manlin said.

"It was your husband who fought with Li Shijing?"

"That's right, oh, no, it should be my husband who was beaten by Li Shijing."

"I know that the disaster must have been caused by Li Shijing, and you and your husband are both victims. In this case, please come with us and make a record at the bureau so that this matter can be completely resolved, otherwise Li Shijing will

The kid will continue to cause trouble for you."

Du Manlin nodded.

When she arrived at the public security bureau, Du Manlin gave a vivid account of the cause of the incident and signed and adjourned the transcript. The fat policeman told her: "You can go home, but Kang Jiawei cannot go back until the matter is completely settled."

Back home, Du Manlin told her father and mother about the matter.

Mother Du became angry when she heard this: "This Kang Jiawei is so brave that he dares to compete with a bastard like Li Shijing. I think he is really in trouble this time. Don't even think about it in ten and a half months."

, if not, you will have to face a lawsuit and be sentenced to three to five years."

Father Du replied angrily: "Jiawei took action to protect Manlin. Instead of thanking her, you cursed her."

"You damn old man, I'm not cursing you, I'm just worried. Just wait and see, trouble is still to come! The Li family will definitely not take Kang Jiawei easy this time."

Father Du snorted and entered the kitchen.

As Du's mother said, when Li Shijing's parents and sister heard that Li Shijing was taken to the police station that night, they rushed to the police station overnight. They saw Li Shijing hugging his right arm with his left hand and screaming in pain.

Li's father, Li Shimao, immediately became furious and asked the fat policeman present, why he was not sent to the hospital for treatment? The fat policeman only replied that he had checked and his hand was not injured. Li Shimao didn't believe it, so he picked up Li Shijing and left, leaving him behind.

In a word, if there are any problems with Li Shijing's hand examination and the problems are serious, I will take your Public Security Bureau and the boy named Kang to court.

The results of the hospital examination were unexpected. Li Shijing's left hand was severely dislocated and his arm suffered bone fractures. As soon as the results came out, Li's mother, Lian Yuejiao, director of the Tucheng County Finance Bureau, immediately called Director Wang of the Public Security Bureau and demanded that the matter be dealt with seriously.

The next day, the Public Security Bureau detained Kang Jiawei for injuring another person's body. However, it did not determine whether the injury was intentional, negligent, self-defense or self-inflicted.

After Du Manlin learned the news, she desperately went to the Public Security Bureau to complain. When Director Wang found out, he asked the fat policeman to take Du Manlin to his office.

Director Wang received her very politely, offered her a seat and offered her tea, which made Du Manlin very cautious.

"Sit down!" Seeing that Du Manlin was still standing, Director Wang greeted her again.
