Chapter 2421 Extra Chapter: Yuan Gui and Kang Shuxian
Yuan Gui's behavior was so obvious that not only Aunt Fang and Tao Hongdan, but even Kang Shuxian herself noticed it.
Tao Hongdan and the others hoped that Kang Shuxian could find someone she could rely on. Yuan Gui was young and promising, the county magistrate's cousin, a person of good character, and liked Kang Shuxian. He was truly a rare and excellent candidate.
Kang Shuxian was bewildered, but she knew she wasn't completely oblivious.
This feeling, however, went against her resolve to remain single, making her feel somewhat ashamed—she had clearly promised that she and her sisters would depend on each other for life, so how could she be with another man?
Tao Hongdan almost rolled her eyes when she learned of her idea, but Yuan Gui couldn't stay in Heichang County for too long.
He was there to pick someone up, and even though Fang's parents were understanding and deliberately delayed him for two days, he couldn't delay any longer.
After all, there are still people in the capital who are anxiously waiting for them.
Before leaving, Yuan Gui approached Kang Shuxian, hoping she would reconsider and wait for his next visit.
But it wasn't easy for Yuan Gui to come all the way here. The southwest was too far away, and he had other work to do. He could only come to Heichang County when he needed to deliver goods here.
During this period, he could only communicate by sending letters.
With the help of Tao Hongdan and others, Kang Shuxian gradually changed her mind.
Before Yuan Gui went to the southwest for the second time, he confessed his affair with Kang Shuxian to Shu Yu and Granny Fang.
Shu Yu was shocked. She never thought the two of them would become a couple. Grandma Fang was overjoyed and told Yuan Gui to bring the person back quickly so she could start preparing for the wedding.
After all, pursuing his wife was a big deal, so Shu Yu gave him a leave of absence, telling him to go to the southwest, settle things properly, and then come back.
After Yuan Gui delivered the goods to the southwest, he stayed there for more than a month. When he returned, he brought with him the shy and nervous Kang Shuxian.
Fortunately, Kang Shuxian knew Shu Yu and the others, so they weren't complete strangers.
In addition, Grandma Fang liked her very much. She had been heartbroken by her family in her early years, and now she had found her way back here.
At the end of last year, Yuan Gui and Kang Shuxian got married.
The sisters from Heichang County bought gifts and had them delivered. Although they couldn't be there in person, their blessings were very heartfelt.
Yuan Gui promised Kang Shuxian that he would personally go to the southwest to deliver goods in the future, and he would take her with him, as if he were going back to his parents' home. That way, she wouldn't have to worry about not seeing her sisters again.
With this guarantee, Tao Hongdan and the others felt relieved.
Their business in Heilongjiang County is now stable. Two years ago, they were just running a stall on the street. As business improved, in the third year, they rented a shop in a good location in the county.
Moreover, the shop has a small courtyard behind it, so they don't need to rent extra rooms, endure wind and rain, or get up before dawn to set up their stalls and go home together after dark. The safety features have been greatly improved.
Aru, who was very good at embroidery, gradually gained fame. Not long ago, she was even noticed by a highly skilled Suzhou embroidery master who took her on as an apprentice.
Everyone's lives were improving, which put Kang Shuxian at ease.
She was also in the convoy heading to the capital this time. One reason was that Yuan Gui wanted to take her out for a walk while she was still healthy and not pregnant.
Secondly, the caravan was going to pass through Changjin Prefecture, so it would be a good opportunity to take her to see Qiao Rou and the others.
