The two of them were living a peaceful life here, completely unaware that Zhu Cuilan on the other side was already in a state of panic.
Flying kites has its own story. If two kite strings get tangled together, whether it's a coincidence or the appearance of the matchmaker, in the minds of shy people, it's considered a happy marriage sent from heaven.
This has both advantages and disadvantages. If it is really a good marriage, it would be fine. But if it is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, it will inevitably lead to another round of entanglement.
Zhu Cuilan was alert to avoid being scratched by others. She pulled Zhao Fangchu away from the crowd and chose a remote location so that Zhao Fangchu's kite could fly up smoothly.
A goldfish stood out among the many bird-shaped flying fish in the sky. Listening to the admiration from the people around him, Zhao Fangchu felt extremely satisfied with his desire to show off. He held his head high like a victorious rooster.
Seeing Zhao Fangchu getting arrogant, Zhu Cuilan patted him on the shoulder and told him to be more restrained. If people knew that a guy was so competitive, they would inevitably start complaining again.
The children were accompanied by their worried elders. Zhao Fangchu was bright and lively, with a pair of round almond-shaped eyes that curved like a crescent moon as the kite flew up and down, and clear cheers could be heard from time to time.
His appearance was considered superior, and the mere sight of him had attracted many people to come and ask questions.
Zhu Cuilan could handle it well at first, but as more people came, she couldn't handle it anymore.
What's more, some men, seeing Zhu Cuilan was tripped, actually went straight to Zhao Fangchu and spoke bluntly, without caring about their reputation at all.
Fortunately, Zhao Fangchu was not that stupid. Whenever a man came to talk to him, he would not say a word and would deliberately avoid him.
Zhu Cuilan was furious, having to deal with a woman whose son was already 26 years old. She then held Zhao Fangchu tightly and refused to leave. She would drive away any man who wanted to get close to her without mercy.
There's no need to even look at this kind of man. No matter how well-off his family is, he only cares about himself and ignores others. I think his character is the worst.
There is a bad guy who not only has bad character, but also has no respect for his face. The entanglement of the kite string is an unintentional act, which makes people believe that there is divine protection. How can he deliberately get involved in other people's kites?
That bad guy was sent away by Zhu Cuilan with just a few words, but he was still unwilling to give up. No one knew where he got such a thick skin from. He actually thought that the reason why the marriage didn't work out was because he didn't talk to Zhao Fangchu. He thought that as long as he talked to Zhao Fangchu for a few words, he would definitely like him.
Completely ignoring the strange looks from the people around him, he pulled his kite towards Zhao Fangchu's kite.
If the two lines are entangled, according to the convention, no matter how reluctant you are, you have to go to the pavilion in the peach forest to chat for a while.
Zhu Cuilan could see through his intentions and cursed him in her heart as a shameless man. She felt that saying one more word to such a person was a waste of words.
Zhu Cuilan asked Zhao Fangchu to quickly take back the kite to avoid a collision with that person.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fangchu hurried to retrieve the kite, but the kite was flown too high and it was difficult to retrieve it all in a short time. Seeing that they were about to reel in the kite, the bad guy flew even faster.
Zhu Cuilan was an embroiderer. She carried a pair of small scissors with her to clean up flaws on clothes in case of emergency.
Seeing that it was too late, Zhu Cuilan had no choice but to pick up a pair of scissors and cut the kite string with a single stroke. The kite was freed from its restraints and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The bad guy's evil plan failed, and he was ashamed by the whispers around him. In a rage, he directly harassed Zhu Cuilan and Zhao Fangchu and refused to let them leave.
In public, getting entangled with a man would lead to being exposed and ruining Zhao Fangchu's reputation. Zhu Cuilan was extremely anxious, but that bad man seemed to have found her weakness and refused to give way.
The person next to him couldn't stand it anymore and said a few fair words, but was then verbally abused by the bad guy.
He was not the only man flying kites here. His curse words angered everyone. A man holding a kite with a little swallow painted on it strode over and punched the bastard in the stomach.
The man seemed to be extremely strong. The wretch fell to the ground in an instant, crying out in pain and shouting that he would call the police.
The people gathered around all had children. They thought such a low-life was despised, and the fact that someone was willing to take action to discipline him was exactly what they wanted. So there was a burst of applause, and no one spoke up for the scoundrel. The man sneered disdainfully, "Go ahead and sue me! You're using such shameful tricks in broad daylight. If you're not afraid of being laughed at and having your family implicated, go ahead and sue me."
I don't know if the bad guy listened to what he said, or was afraid of the man's fist, or was crying out in pain, but he just didn't mention reporting to the police. After lying there for a long time and seeing that no one helped him, he stood up dejectedly and wanted to escape from this place.
The man threatened that if he was seen harassing others elsewhere, it would not be as simple as a single punch, so he let him go.
When Zhao Luochuan heard the noise and came over, everything was over. Zhu Cuilan couldn't stop thanking the man.
As soon as he saw the man, he exclaimed, "Ning Yang?"
Seeing that Zhao Fangchu was holding a piece of kite string in his hand, Yang Donghu hurried over to him and asked what was wrong.
Zhao Fangchu was very angry. He was angry at the bad guy's bad heart. His good kite was broken in his hands. He was even more angry at the bad guy for being so incompetent and ruining his reputation for no reason.
Ning Yang was surprised to see Zhao Luochuan and laughed, "I can meet you here." Then he pointed at Zhu Cuilan and said, "Are you from the same family?"
Zhao Luochuan nodded: "Aunt, what happened just now?"
Ning Yang told Zhu Cuilan the whole story, and when she heard it, she thanked him again and again.
There are always people with bad intentions when there are too many people around. Zhao Luochuan regretted a lot that he shouldn't have left Zhu Cuilan and Zhao Fangchu here alone. If he had followed them, this wouldn't have happened. Thinking of this, he thanked Ning Yang again and again.
Ning Yang waved his hand: "Well, why are you being so polite to me? It's only natural to stand up for what's wrong."
Ning Yang didn't come alone, he also had to help Ning Can take care of the child. After this incident, he didn't dare to leave for too long. He said a few words in a hurry and went to find Ning Can.
Yang Donghu comforted Zhu Cuilan and told her not to be upset about the dirty people.
With someone listening, Zhu Cuilan poured out her grievances and listed all the people who had come to her to inquire about her. Some of them were over 26 years old and still unmarried. As they were old, they either had hidden secrets or hidden illnesses.
There are also those who injured one eye in a fight, and those who had children at the age of 18, whose families have money and land, and who will become mothers as soon as they get married.
With things like this, Zhu Cuilan couldn't stay any longer and just wanted to go home quickly. When she reached the entrance of the peach forest, she saw Zhao Fangyu with a dazed look on his face. Everyone knew who he had just met, but no one told him.
Zhao Fangyu didn't understand why he returned home so soon, but he followed behind obediently, with an exquisitely embroidered purse in his arms.
