Xu Niannian had become more and more beautiful, a piece of news that didn't take long to spread through the entire village.
As the great beauty of the surrounding eight villages, she had always been the focus of young men's attention.
Quite a few people used the excuse of looking for Xu Zhiqiang to run to the Xu Family's house to see for themselves.
But Xu Niannian had no interest in being ogled; after chatting with Yang Cuihua, she bolted into her room to hide.
When Auntie Wang from next door saw so many people heading to Xu Niannian's home, she spat in disdain and said to her son,
"Pah, a loss-making good-for-nothing, I don't know what there is to be proud of. No matter how pretty, what use is it if a woman can't work? She'll still end up not getting married; which family would want to support such a big burden for nothing?"
