The women nearby, who were already familiar with Jiang Henian's work skills, were not surprised. Instead, they looked at He Jinshan with regret.
The boy from the He family was good-looking since he was young. When he was 18 years old, many families in the village wanted to propose marriage to him, but unfortunately he was already engaged to a child at such a young age.
After not seeing him for ten years, he looks even more handsome! He's tall and has long legs. Look at that head, those shoulders, those arms. He has a strong physique and is obviously capable! What a pity! He didn't make a name for himself in the army, but instead came back with injuries and was bitten by a wolf at the doorstep!
He was despised and his young wife was gone before he even got married.

Old Mrs. He walked away with her bound feet, angrily and sighing.
He Shoucheng hurriedly followed to support him.
Jiang Henian looked confused, and I hadn't said anything yet.
It was strange this morning. Just after the He family left, many people "passed by" this remote wheat field.
People carrying backpacks, leading cows, carrying hoes, carrying manure, carrying firewood... all happened to pass by here, as if they all had stiff necks and twisted necks, and they turned their heads to look here.
