The village chief led his men to ask from house to house. It was the two men who were originally on patrol at the foot of the mountain who spotted the footprints coming up the mountain from a hidden spot. There was no proper mountain path here, and they would never take this route on patrol. They became suspicious, and just then the village chief and his men came to inquire. The patrolmen consulted the leader in charge of their area, who was also the one who had called Tang Xiaoxiao, and led the group up the mountain.
Following the footprints, the group quickly found the stiff body of the young man halfway up the mountain, with many uprooted medicinal herbs scattered around him.
The parents of the young man surnamed Sun immediately sat down and began to wail.
Despite the apparent clarity of the cause of death, the person in charge did not dare to suppress the matter and instead immediately called Tang Xiaoxiao.
After listening to the call, Tang Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, comforted the other party for a few moments, and after learning that no one had called the police yet, she hung up the phone and dialed the police station directly.
Han Yunqi was still in City A at the time. There was something that needed his attention at the transportation company, so she didn't let him know. Instead, she got dressed and told her parents that something had happened in the mountains and she needed to go out.
Mr. and Mrs. Tang didn't know what had happened, but they knew their daughter wasn't someone to be taken lightly. If something could make her show up despite being heavily pregnant, it must be something serious. So, the elderly couple didn't try to stop her and instead accompanied her out the door.
Soon after, Tang Xiaoxiao, accompanied by her parents and the police officers, arrived at the foot of the mountain almost one after the other.
Tang Xiaoxiao was too heavy-hearted to go up the mountain, but she figured there was no need to go to the scene, so she waited at the foot of the mountain. Before long, several policemen finished checking the scene and carried the body down.
A group of villagers who had come out to search for the person followed behind, along with the Sun family members who were crying all the way.
Such a big thing happened that it caused a sensation throughout Hou Tang Village. A large crowd had gathered at the foot of the mountain, discussing it amongst themselves. Tang Xiaoxiao and her parents didn't even need to ask; they had already been given a thorough explanation.
Tang Xiaoxiao learned from the villagers that the young man's name was Sun Yaozu, 26 years old, and he worked as a warehouse manager in a branch of Shengli Group.
This job is easy and doesn't require any special skills, so the pay is naturally low. He doesn't even earn enough to cover his own expenses and often needs financial support from his family.
The Sun family are outsiders who moved to Houtang Village more than 30 years ago. The family speaks broken Mandarin that is hard to understand, and no one knows where their ancestors came from. The Sun family doesn't mention it, and no one asks.
Sun Yaozu also has a 30-year-old sister who is already married. Sun's grandparents passed away a few years ago, and now only Sun's parents and Sun Yaozu's family of three remain.
Sun Yaozu is not married yet. The Sun family has no wealth, and his job pays poorly. However, he is quite handsome, and his parents think their son is very presentable and has high standards. They are eager to find a daughter-in-law who is good in every way.
Young women these days are becoming increasingly progressive and adept at planning for themselves. While Sun Yaozu may be somewhat attractive, he falls short in other aspects. What girl with excellent qualities in all areas would be interested in him?
The elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Sun, asked a matchmaker to arrange several marriages for their son, but in the end, either the other party didn't like the Sun family, or the Sun family thought the other party's conditions were not good enough. In short, they still haven't found a match.
