The leaders of this group were undoubtedly those two old hags, Old Lady Lin and Old Lady Wu. Yunling abruptly stopped and rushed home, quickly pulling Old Lady Yun out the door.

"Grandma, now you have to pry their mouths open and see what they're up to."

Old Lady Yun squinted, carefully examining the things Old Lady Lin and Old Lady Wu were holding. After a thorough look, she grabbed Yun Ling.

"You son of a bitch, look at those things, aren't they the ones we bought in town last time? I told you they were definitely not satisfied and would come looking for trouble, maybe even go to the county government to complain. I told you to choose carefully, but you didn't listen. Now look what's happened. I don't care, you're the one who has to deal with this."

After saying that, Old Lady Yun was about to walk into the house.

Yunling's eyes widened in disbelief. When had her grandmother become so shameless? Those were just some fresh fruits, dried fruits, and four-color candies, which were clearly chosen by her grandmother. How could she blame it on her? It was truly shameless.

"Hua-ge's mother, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Lin's mother started running in a hurry. As soon as she ran, Wu's mother and the women behind her also started running. The group of people came running over like a flock of free-range sheep.

Although Yunling loved mutton, it wasn't to her taste at her age, so she quickly grabbed her mother and handed the task back to her.

"Hua-ge'er's mother, have you had breakfast yet? You're so diligent, getting up so early. Are you going to the county town to listen to some folk songs today?"

Although Old Lady Lin was panting, she was quick-witted and her words came out in a string.

When Yunling and her mother saw the man's weasel-like smile, alarm bells rang in their hearts. As the saying goes, "If someone is being overly helpful, they are either a crook or a thief." This man was known for his shrewish behavior and his desire to gain personal benefits. How could he let others benefit from him?

Old Lady Yun replied irritably:

"There's so much work to do at home. If we don't get up early and work hard, we won't even have porridge to eat."

"Hua Ge'er's mother is really joking. Your family is doing so well now, there's no need to eat porridge. By the way, the house over there is almost finished, right? If there's anything you need or anything urgent, don't hesitate to tell us."

Old Lady Yun couldn't figure out this man's purpose, and since she hadn't eaten much, she simply cut to the chase and laid out her words directly.

“You old hag, save your nice words for when you worship your ancestors. What are you doing bringing all these people to our house today? If you want to get rid of them, then go to the county government office together and have a word with them.”

Old Lady Lin took a step forward and said with a smile:

"Not at all, I was just thinking that Chun-jie is of marriageable age, and that she and our San-lang have a childhood bond, so they are a good match."

"Pah, you stinking woman! Weren't you bragging everywhere the other day that your third son was going to marry a young lady from the city? Oh, a small family like yours, trying to emulate other wealthy families by taking concubines?"

Old Lady Lin still wore a smile, as if Old Lady Yun hadn't been scolding her, and replied:

"That's not what I meant. If Chun-jie agrees to this marriage, no matter who it is, San-lang will only marry Chun-jie, regardless of whether they are from the city or the county."

Old Lady Yun and Yun Ling's faces turned incredibly dark.

Old Lady Lin, being adept at reading people's expressions, quickly changed the subject upon seeing this:

"Of course, I have a nephew who is about the same age as Chun Jie. His family owns a hundred acres of fertile land. My sister-in-law is also a kind and honest woman who never scolds anyone. If Chun Jie marries into the family, the whole family will dote on Chun Jie. It will be a very good family."

Seeing that Old Lady Lin was going to such lengths to build a relationship, Old Lady Wu was not to be outdone and followed suit.

“My Sanlang has always been in love with Chun’er. Over the years, no matter how others have introduced him to other young ladies, he has never liked them. He says he prefers someone like Chun’er, who is capable and gentle.”

Old Lady Wu quickly took a step forward, trying to take Old Lady Yun's hand.

"Hua Ge'er's mother, as you know, I only have three sons in my family. I had always wanted to have a daughter, but it's not my destiny to have one, and I can't force it."

"When I met Chun-jie, I felt an instant connection with her. In my dream, an old immortal showed me what San-lang's wife looked like, and she looked exactly like Chun-jie. Their fate was surely ordained by heaven."

Grandma Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes, take a step back, and refuse any physical contact with Grandma Wu.

Upon seeing this, others chimed in with their own comments:

“Hua Ge’er’s mother, I’ve practically watched Chun Jie grow up. If she could come to our house, I would definitely treat her like my own daughter and spoil her. I wouldn’t let her do any hard work, and I wouldn’t even let her touch a bowl.”

“Hua’er’s mother, I…I…I will not only not make her wash dishes or do hard work, but I will also give her all the money in the house to manage. She can buy whatever she wants and eat whatever she wants, and we will not say a word.”

“My dear in-laws, you should come to our home. We will prepare a generous dowry even if we have to empty our coffers. We will definitely give Chun-jie enough face. After the marriage, we don’t care whether Chun-jie has children or not, we can do whatever we want.”

"..."

Yunling knew about it. It turned out that the wind from the county town had blown into the village. Knowing that her aunt had become a yamen runner, they were all thinking of currying favor with her. They were all very shrewd and calculating.

Indeed, it was just as Yunling had thought.

Yun Ruochun went to the meeting alone and single-handedly uncovered the human traffickers' hideout, arresting eighteen traffickers. The news spread like wildfire throughout the city.

In particular, the story of Yun Ruochun being invited by Master Qin to become a female constable, but ultimately ending up as a female yamen runner, has been embellished into an exceptionally inspiring and uplifting tale.

In short, Yun Ruochun, the first female yamen runner, has made a name for herself in the county.

Old Lady Lin and her group had received word of this the night before, and their minds were racing. Each of them thought that having connections in the county government would make things easier, so they all set their sights on Yun Ruochun.

They all thought that Yun Ruochun, at her age, must have some shameful secret to be getting married. But even if it was something shameful, her current position as a yamen runner was a respectable status.

Marrying her would be like opening a channel for the family to the county government, bringing countless benefits and advantages in the future.

As for her shameful affairs, it doesn't matter. After all, what man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Even if she is firm in her stance and refuses to allow him to take concubines, he will still keep one or two outside. What can she do to them? Does she dare to divorce him?

If she dared to say a single word against it, they would lock the door and beat her up.
