Qiao Wanyue: ......
"Old hag, shut up."
"Lu Rong, I'm not trying to be mean, but if you don't want a man, don't stop your daughter-in-law from remarrying. Wanyue is the same age as Yiduo, and she's never even tasted a man's touch. Are you trying to ruin her life?"
Lu Rong: ......
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Lu Rong was furious.
When did she stop Wanyue from remarrying?
She's only a teenager now, with a bright future ahead of her. Besides, her skills are unmatched by most men. The old woman's words about that man are so sweet; she knows all the sweet talk these matchmakers use to flatter her.
Qiao Wanyue, "Is my aunt doing this for my own good?"
The old woman nodded vigorously, "Of course, you'll be in charge of the household after you marry in."
Qiao Wanyue scoffed, "Just become a mother after you get married."
The old fishmonger's face darkened.
Qiao Wanyue continued, "A divorced man, he's not exactly handsome, but he's not tall, he doesn't have a stable job, and he has a wicked mother-in-law. How did his ex-wife die? Was she beaten to death by him?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Rong...
You old hag.
All that sweet talk turned out to be a marriage scam.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by a divorced man? He's just older, he's not divorced at all." The old fish woman looked very guilty.
Qiao Wanyue curled her lips, "Does he have any hidden health problems? He only has one son in his family, and you specifically emphasized that you don't need to marry him and have children, which means he already has a son."
I'm just going to be a stepmother.
"Let me guess what benefits they gave you. Is it that family or a brigade leader who wants me to marry into their family so they can take the mooncake recipe with them and have their brigade make them?"
The old fishmonger's face darkened.
Qiao Wanyue guessed everything correctly.
Qiao Wanyue scoffed, "Mom, go ask the brigade leader what he was thinking when Auntie was being so kind."
The old fishmonger got impatient. "I kindly tried to set you up, how can you complain? I won't do it again."
She started to run away as she spoke.
Qiao Wanyue would never give her a chance.
He twisted her arm and dragged her to the brigade leader's house.
The captain was so angry he laughed when he heard what the old fishwoman said.
The man the old woman described was indeed as Qiao Wanyue guessed: he was remarried. However, his ex-wife wasn't beaten to death; the man wasn't good enough, and his ex-wife couldn't stand it and ran away. But the man's father was a cadre in a certain brigade.
They've set their sights on Xiahe Village.
He finally managed to get such a talented person, and now they've poached him from elsewhere.
Are you taking advantage of his good temper?
The captain was so angry that he refused to eat and rode off on his bicycle.
"Wanyue, you should go back first. Your uncle will give you an explanation." As husband and wife, how could the captain's wife not know what her husband was going to do?
The fact that Old Fish Granny was able to come here means that everyone in the commune knows that their Xiahe Village has developed mooncakes, and that it was developed by a newly widowed woman. They didn't even need to discuss it before poaching her.
Robbing someone of their money is like digging up their ancestral grave.
Who can tolerate this?
Qiao Wanyue then stopped caring.
Just as the team leader's wife had predicted, he rode his bicycle to the commune.
When he arrived at the commune gate, he pinched himself hard, tears welling up in his eyes, and rushed all the way to the commune leader's office, where he hugged his leg and cried.
Roughly speaking—
He finally found a talented person and helped develop the village, but just a few days ago, the girl's husband passed away. Before long, people from other brigades came running after hearing about her.
Isn't this like tearing out his heart?
The girl was young and wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the people. She didn't hold back at all, while the old woman was eyeing their brigade's precious darling.
Isn't this like tearing his heart out?
