"Exactly, he went back yesterday morning, and now he's already left after staying just a few days. He left in such a hurry." The villagers nodded and added, "You need to go further ahead to get to the He Family's place, right? You're He Teng's comrade, aren't you??"
The villager was speaking to Lan Li, who hummed an affirmative.
"Do you know if He Teng's wife is making big money in the capital? When He Teng's wife first went to university in the capital, many in our village couldn't wait to see the He Family's embarrassment. They said spending so much money to send a child bride, who was bought with money, to university was ridiculous. She was already married, yet they still sent her to university."
"So what?" Lan's mother asked, puzzled, "Isn't the child bride also a child of the He Family?"
