As the village party secretary, Han Ganshan's intervention would normally command respect from both families.
Just when the marriage was about to be finalized, Han Ganshan added, "Of course, if the two children are unwilling, the marriage will not stand!"
"This is a new society now, and the government has stated that marriage is a matter of freedom!"
"No one should do everything for others!"
"Also, in the future, this kind of situation won't damage the girl's reputation!"
"If anyone dares to gossip and bring this up to cause trouble for me, don't blame me for calling the police and having them arrested and given a good talking-to!"
When Han Ganshan said this, He Laicai and Liu Yuquan were dumbfounded, unable to figure out whether the marriage should go through or not!
"Alright, everyone disperse!"
Han Ganshan didn't care what He Laicai and Liu Yuquan thought; he was just there to convey policy. As for whether the two families would still form a marriage alliance, what business was it of his?
He can control everything, but how can he control other people's daughters getting married and wives taking in their children?
As long as the matter does not go against the wishes of the two parties involved, and no one comes to him for help, Han Ganshan has no reason to rush into getting involved.
Han Ganshan dispersed the crowd and was about to go home when he suddenly saw his daughter and grandsons.
When Jiang Yi noticed Han Ganshan looking over, she immediately called for her seven nephews to run away.
"..."
Han Ganshan was about to call for help when he realized that the person had run away, so he could only remain silent and let Jiang Yi make a scene on her own.
They're not children anymore; they know how to act appropriately.
Jiang Yi and her nephews slipped away, naturally heading towards the river.
"Auntie, where are we going?"
"Go catch the turtle!"
Jiang Yi made up a story with a straight face.
Is it so easy to catch a turtle?
However, it's an autumn afternoon with strong sunlight. Before the weather gets cold, the turtles will probably come out to enjoy some sunbathing, since they're about to enter hibernation.
Who knows, I might actually be able to catch a few turtles.
Jiang Yi, with her seven nephews, headed straight for a large stretch of mudflats by the river.
The mudflats here are covered with river grass, and people have even caught turtles here before.
However, these kinds of things are ultimately a matter of luck.
Other people's luck is pure luck.
Jiang Yi, on the other hand, is completely different; who can blame her for having incredible luck?
"Auntie, are we really going to catch the turtle?"
When Jiang Yi's eldest nephew, Han Hongbo, saw that she had actually brought them to this mudflat, he was dumbfounded. He had always thought that his aunt was just saying it casually.
"Of course!"
Jiang Yi glanced at her nephew, who was a year younger than her, and said, "Hurry up, if you catch the old turtle, I'll treat you to mooncakes on the fifteenth!"
"Auntie, are you talking about the mooncakes sold at the supply and marketing cooperative, or the ones we make ourselves?"
Erbing, the youngest nephew, is indeed very clever and grasps the key points very well.
Jiang Yi flicked him on the forehead and said, "Do you think I should treat you to mooncakes that we made ourselves?"
If it's homemade mooncakes, can't we eat them whenever we want?
Without Jiang Yi saying anything more, her seven nephews rushed into the mudflats, not caring whether the mud would get their shoes dirty.
As for Jiang Yi, being a clean person, he would definitely stay outside the mudflats.
Her shoes now are high-end items that she bought with shoe coupons; they're worth several dollars!
Of course, in later generations, Jiang Yi would absolutely look down on these shoes. But now, they are the most fashionable green military shoes!
