As Han Ting left, Li Qiao also prepared to go home, with Du Xinxin seeing her out.
It wasn't long before Han Ting and the team leader returned, releasing Li Jinhua.
After a round of criticism and education, they let her go, but the affair of Li Jinhua being caught red-handed stealing Du Xinxin's notification letter spread like wildfire through the village overnight.
The next day, the news reached Tulou Village.
Although Li Jianguo's family was poor, they had a clean reputation and couldn't bear being the subject of gossip among villagers. Despite his parents' objections, he forcefully drove Li Jinhua away and went to her family to demand the annulment of their marriage and the return of the bride price.
Li Shengcai and Dong Lamei refused, citing the damage to their reputation caused by Li Jinhua marrying into their family, and with no recourse left, he turned to Qin Jin for help.
