Those people were actually saying that he had become betrothed to that old girl from the Wang Family who had a schoolgirl crush on him and always followed him around!
How was that possible? He had always avoided her like the plague, hadn't he?
Although Song Chongjin outwardly expressed disbelief, his mind replayed the recent encounters with Wang Yongzhu, who had become increasingly brazen in blocking his path. He had initially thought Wang Yongzhu had simply become more shameless over time, but now, could it be that her boldness was because of a betrothal between their families?
But why, if they were betrothed, was he not aware of it?
Song Chongjin's heart sank for reasons he couldn't quite articulate.
With that thought, he lost all inclination to wander the mountains and turned towards home.
From outside the courtyard, he could hear people talking inside the house, and they seemed to be mentioning the betrothal.
