The matchmaker Liu’s father-in-law and wife passed away early, and she worked hard raising a son who t with an accident at the mine.
In this household, besides the matchmaker Liu and a little granddaughter, there was only this one man.
Even if sothing truly happened, everyone understood.
Incidents like this happen in every village, everyone pretends ignorance while knowing the truth.
No matter how loudly Liu claims her innocence, nobody believes her words, simply considering them willing participants.
As for upholding justice?
That’s just a daydream; a rural village, customs are backward.
For scandals like this, everyone hopes they don’t spread, tightly covering them up just for the village’s good reputation and the future marriage prospects of descendants.
Village Chief He reprimanded Liu, advising her to live well without thinking nonsense.
Openly advising but subtly threatening, telling her to live well with her father-in-law.
As long as one is in Qingshan Village, there’s no fear of any drama.
Village Chief He reprimanded the villagers a bit more before taking his wife ho.
When Gu Jin and An Mingji ca down the mountain and heard about this upon returning ho, both were shocked.
An Mingji’s expression wasn’t feigned; he was genuinely incredulous.
Just last night, he only wanted to teach Liu a lesson, giving her a substance to muddle her mind, causing her to be plagued by nightmares lately.
Never did he think such a change would occur.
For this, he felt no guilt, only feeling it was a benefit to her.
...
In Qingshan Village, there is a family that has been unsettled since Gu Jin and An Mingji returned to the village.
This family is none other than An Mingji’s uncle, An Hanyi’s household.
It wasn’t just so old man who was captivated by Gu Jin yesterday, but also An Hanyi’s son, An Guoliang.
This lad is chubby with big ears, lazy and gluttonous, pampered by his family, shiny and plump, not tall either.
He’s nineteen this year, but still hasn’t found a bride.
So, when he saw Gu Jin’s breathtaking beauty yesterday, he went ho and made a ruckus insisting on marrying her.
Hearing that he actually wanted to marry the girl An Mingji raised, both An Hanyi and his wife Li Xueqin were worried sick.
They refused his request, and he began fasting.
An Guoliang hasn’t eaten a bite since last night.
This was the first ti in his life he was so determined.
An Hanyi and Li Xueqin had only this beloved son, and seeing him not eating or drinking made them incredibly anxious.
An Guoliang sat on a stool in the ho’s hall, glaring woefully at An Hanyi and Li Xueqin.
He huffed and said, "Mom and Dad, I want to marry Gu Jin as my wife. If you don’t agree, I’m not eating today!"
"Oh Liang, it’s not that we don’t want you to marry, the girl just doesn’t care for us!" Li Xueqin worriedly said, almost in tears.
She had seen Gu Jin from afar a few tis, during the year An Mingji adopted her, clearly noticing the girl showed disdain towards her.
Now her son’s insistence on marrying the girl, it’s simply impossible.
"I don’t care, I don’t care, I just want to marry her!" An Guoliang wasn’t listening at all, he was set on having Gu Jin as his wife.
Seeing his parents unmoved, he got up and plopped down on the ground.
"I don’t want to live anymore! I’m nearly twenty, and you haven’t found a wife. Now I finally fancy soone, and you disagree. Life is unbearable, I don’t want to live, I’ll jump into the river and end it! What’s the point of living if I can’t marry, I’m going to jump into the river now!"
