Yulan and Baohe had not been back from City A for long when everyone in the village knew that the big tiled house was built for the couple by Chuxia's son-in-law.
While people were envious of the couple's good fortune, there was no shortage of malicious speculations. Thus, it spread far and wide that Chuxia was to marry a middle-aged man.
This is just human nature, always feeling that what one can't have, others can't easily obtain either. If someone does manage to obtain it, there must be some shady dealings involved.
So, as the guesses continued, the news that Baohe's daughter, who had been in the military for a month, was fancied by an old man flew around as if it had wings.
The so-called rumors meant that everyone knew about them, except the parties involved. This situation wasn't unusual. When the rumor was flying everywhere, Yulan and Baohe finally heard about it.
And they heard it through Gangshun and Fat Auntie.
