As he walked, Mo Yan inquired and found out why Tie Tou was at home and why Wu's had furiously beaten her son. All of this was related to a woman.
The Wu family had built a big house, and from time to time the aroma of meat wafted out. They no longer wore tattered clothes. To the discerning eye, it was clear that the Wu family's days were getting better and better. Many families in the village admired this and hoped their eligible daughters could marry into the Wu family to enjoy good fortune and help support their own families in the process; eligible sons wanted to marry Dani, hoping for a beneficial Yue Family and a better life in the future.
Even the original inhabitants of Liu Yang Village, who didn't have their own eligible children, were contemplating which relatives or friends had daughters or sons of the right age, thinking a marital alliance with the Wu family would be advantageous.
