Not only Ruo He, but Ruo Hai was also coveted by others!
The two brothers were pulled aside by several village women, who wanted to introduce them to nieces from their maternal families, female cousins, and the like.
Their heads were spinning!
Ruo Hai, who most resembled their father, was tall and mighty, imposing and stern. He said with a stern face, "I have no plans to marry in this life!"
After the New Year, he planned to return to the barracks, and once back, he seldom came home. Marrying a wife meant leaving her alone for long stretches, so it was better not to marry at all.
He would feel guilty for marrying a good woman only to leave her by herself.
Marrying someone like Madam Zhou and getting another green hat would be simply asking for trouble, wouldn't it?
Anyway, his eldest son was already grown, and whether he married or not really didn't matter to him. Marriage would only mean an additional responsibility.
