That afternoon, Hongqi followed Zhou Hanliang and left. Though people said he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, this time he was quite astute. While packing up, Xiaoqiong quietly asked him what made him change his mind. He replied that if he became a soldier, he still might have a chance to marry Zhong Hongying. If he didn't, he would have no chance at all.
Zhong Hongying got the news and went to the village entrance early to wait, but unfortunately, Fat Auntie and Luo Gangshun had anticipated her move. They accompanied their son all the way to the commune before returning, which meant Hongying didn't get a chance to approach Hongqi at all.
"My mom and dad are really determined, driving there and walking back, all to keep Zhong Hongying away from my brother..." Xiaoqiong sat at Chuxia's family, her words flying with vehemence.
Obviously, seeing Zhong Hongying thwarted brought her the greatest joy.
