The next morning, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming went to the rented courtyard early. Ever since Little Qingmei's incident, she hadn't left the house for the entire day yesterday, and she had no idea how things had evolved.
As soon as they arrived in the courtyard, the female workers gathered around, "Did the owner hear about it?"
"Hear about what?" Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Had something big happened in the village again? She had only been inside for one day!
Her sister-in-law had been much quieter recently and hadn't gossiped with her, so she was really out of the loop!
"It's about Hehua. I heard her deal to become a concubine for the rich Li family fell through!"
"Isn't that a good thing?" She wouldn't have to marry an old man after all. Anyway, forcing a girl in the prime of her youth to marry a man as old as her father felt quite wrong!
"It was your relative who messed it up!"
"..." Huh? Who?
