After a day of inquiring, they did find out a lot of things, but everyone in the village knew that they were asking around. Kang Yueran thought of Xiao Wuzi and thought to herself that if it was Xiao Wuzi, he would not be discovered.
Fortunately, nothing happened even though he was discovered. It was a good opportunity to remind the villagers.
After hearing about it, Kang Yanshun and Kang Hong came to find Kang Yueran. Kang Yueran spoke frankly and said that he did not want to see Fengtou Village become a village of bullies.
The two men left with sighs. During the New Year, they called several elders to Kang Yanshun's house to discuss the matter for a long time.
When she was little, she always heard adults say that a year goes by in the blink of an eye. She always thought that adults were talking nonsense. A year has so many days, so it goes by so slowly. Only when she grew up did she realize that time is like flowing water, seemingly just a trickle, but it never stops.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye, it’s true!
There were no elderly relatives in the family, so on the morning of New Year's Day, only a few children came to ask for candy. After noon, the women from various families came to chat with Ye and Huang.
"Sister Huang, your Yuan Chen is already nineteen this year. When will he get engaged?"
Huang was also troubled when he mentioned this. "He always said there was no rush, no rush. Oh! I introduced several to him, but he refused to see any of them. I was almost worried to death."
Ye was also troubled by the same thing. "Yuanchen is a boy, so getting married when he's older isn't a big deal. Yueran is already eighteen years old, and still hasn't found a husband." She didn't know whether the prince was reliable or not.
Everyone was unanimous in their response to Chai Shijing's affairs; no one was allowed to mention them. Huang consoled him, "A person like Yueran must find a good partner."
No matter whether Kang Yueran was good or bad, no one in the village dared to propose marriage to her. Everyone was eyeing Kang Yuanchen.
"Sister-in-law, what kind of person is your Yuan Chen looking for? My daughter-in-law's sister is pretty and charming. How about I call her over to meet Yuan Chen tomorrow night?"
"With Sister Huang, why bother looking for someone so far away? What do you think of my little daughter Honghua? She grew up with Yuanchen, and Yuanchen even took her out to play when she was little."
"There's Sister Huang. My niece is good, has a straightforward personality, and is hardworking. She and Yuan Chen are a perfect match."
"Isn't your niece engaged? How many times does she want to get married?"
"Your daughter Honghua is lazy and good at eating. How can she be worthy of Yuan Chen?"
......
The same thing happened during the Chinese New Year last year, and it happened again this year. Huang and Ye looked at each other, both smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
Kang Yueran said that one shouldn't be too soft-tempered, and Huang really thought this was a wise saying. She patted the table and said, "Alright, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Yuan Chen said he doesn't want to get married for the time being. Let's talk about this later."
"Wait until later? Yuan Chen is the eldest son. If he gets married sooner, you can also have a grandson sooner, right?"
Huang was helpless, "But Yuanchen doesn't want to get married, so there's nothing I can do."
The woman rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, my daughter Honghua always talks about how good you were to her, Sister Huang. I think it would be better to let her stay with you for a while. Wait..."
"That won't do. There are many servants of Yue Ran in the house, most of them are young men. It's not appropriate for a little girl like Honghua to go there."
Huang quickly interrupted the woman, "Okay! Once she goes, she can rely on their family, and then she will have to marry him even if she doesn't want to." To be honest, she really looked down on Honghua.
"Honghua is very honest, she won't cause you any trouble!"
Ye also disliked Honghua. "It's not that I'm causing trouble, it's just that Honghua, an unmarried young woman, is really not suitable."
The woman felt embarrassed and said in a bad tone, "I told you that safflower won't cause any trouble, so why are you still so picky? What's wrong with my safflower that makes you so picky?"
The other women were happy to watch the show, "We don't know what's wrong with your safflower, maybe Mr. Liu in town can find out, hehehehe..."
Honghua is determined to marry a rich man, and has an ambiguous relationship with Mr. Liu.
The woman cursed, "You are talking nonsense, my Honghua is an innocent girl."
She slid off the stool and onto the ground, slapping her thighs and howling, "Oh, this is killing me! You don't want my Honghua to live anymore, oh..."
The women were all shouting loudly, and Kang Yueran couldn't read anymore. When she heard the wailing, she pushed the door open and walked into the hall. She asked with a cold face, "What are you doing?"
There was a chill emanating from her that made people feel scared. The others laughed and quickly said goodbye and left. The woman shrank her head and dared not cry anymore. She got up from the ground and ran away dejectedly.
Ye and Huang sat down on their chairs and breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally gone!
Kang Yueran laughed out loud, "If they don't want to, then they don't want to. Why bother talking nonsense with them? If you don't want to listen, just chase them away. This is our home."
Huang was still terrified. "I'll definitely chase them away next time! I have to find a marriage for Yuan Chen, otherwise they'll come back next year."
Kang Yueran disagreed with urging marriage. "Let Brother Yuanchen make this clear. After all, he's the one getting married, so he has to be willing in his heart."
"I know, but Yuan Chen is stubborn and I can't persuade him."
"Then try to persuade him slowly. He's going to get married eventually! I'm going back to my room to read!"
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Huang went back to her parents' home and experienced it again. She was determined to get Kang Yuanchen engaged this year.
On the morning of the third day of junior high school, Kang Yuanchen and three others came to Kang Yueran with their homework.
Kang Yueran flipped through the writings of the four people and nodded. "Your writings are very similar, and the content is almost the same. Did you discuss this beforehand?"
The four nodded!
"It would be great if you could discuss it, but if I asked you to write separately, it doesn't mean I didn't ask you to discuss it. Otherwise, why didn't I ask all four of you to write one?"
The four of them looked at each other.
Kang Yuanwu curled his lips and said, "I told you not to get involved."
Kang Yueran scolded, "Since you said not to get involved, then why are you still getting involved? Since you're involved, then stop talking nonsense!"
Kang Yuanwu didn't dare to refute, he lowered his head and said nothing.
"Brother Yuanchen, you've written about more than ten families. Tell me, what should we do with these people?"
The four of them had already discussed this issue, and he explained it to each of them one by one.
Kang Yueran was not satisfied with this. "Once unfaithful, never again! Small mistakes are also mistakes. If you make a small mistake and just give a few light reprimands, it will be difficult for you to remember the lesson. You might make bigger mistakes in the future. Let's discuss this again."
Kang Yuanchen said, "Or, if someone makes a minor mistake, they'll be fined half a year's wages; if someone makes a major mistake, they'll be kicked out of the cotton field."
Kang Yueran was still not satisfied. She reminded them, "Their mistakes had nothing to do with the cotton fields. They bullied others and cheated."
"Then, then report to the police?"
"It's hard for an honest judge to judge family affairs!"
Nothing worked, nothing worked, and the four of them didn't know what to do for a moment.
