On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Fangfei took Tang Zhicheng and Little Moon back to her family home. The New Year was a time of many events, and when they arrived at the Ye household, they discovered that Ye Fangfei's cousin, Ye Fanghua, had also returned.
Years ago, Ye Fanghua had not found a job, nor had she been as fortunate as Ye Fangfei in finding a suitable partner. In the end, she had no choice but to go to the countryside. Now, three years had passed, and she had not come back to visit even once. Unexpectedly, she returned this year, not only by herself but also with her husband, shocking the family.
How could this be? No one had heard that she was married! How could she suddenly bring her husband home? Before they could even settle in, Hao Chunying announced some big news.
Well, I don’t know the details; it was your cousin who came to pay New Year’s greetings yesterday and mentioned it casually. By the way, your uncle wants us to go over for dinner today. He said he would introduce your cousin’s husband to us, Hao Chunying said.
My uncle just accepted this cousin-in-law like that? She got married without any word? Didn’t my aunt cause a fuss? Ye Fangfei couldn’t believe that her uncle would just accept a son-in-law like this.
What can be done if they don’t accept it? The girl is already married; there’s nothing they can do about it now. Hao Chunying replied.
I’ve heard that in some places, people aren’t very friendly towards female intellectuals sent to the countryside. In some villages, men would deliberately ruin the reputation of female intellectuals so that they would marry them. I wonder if my cousin is in such a situation. The daughter from the Gao family in our compound went to the countryside two years ago and just returned a few days ago. They say there was a scoundrel in her village who ruined a female intellectual’s reputation, and she ended up marrying him. Apparently, there are also scoundrels bothering her in the countryside; this time she came back for her family to figure something out. Ye Fangfei recalled what Gao Xiangchun had said and related it to her cousin’s situation.
Hao Chunying exclaimed, Is there really such a thing? That’s too outrageous! Doesn’t anyone in their village take care of this?
What can they do? They’re all from the same village; it’s hard for them to side with an outsider like you. If something really happens, the village leaders might even help suppress the female intellectuals.
After hearing Ye Fangfei's words, Hao Chunying felt nothing but relief. She was grateful that she had decisively arranged for her daughter to go on blind dates and get married.
She couldn’t imagine what she would do if her daughter encountered such a situation in the countryside and was forced to marry a scoundrel. Thankfully, your aunt introduced you to Zhicheng; otherwise, you would have ended up in the countryside too. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.
Sigh, I wonder if Fanghua has encountered this situation as well.
We should hurry over; I need to have a serious talk with your Aunt. If Fanghua is also marrying for such reasons, we can't just let it go like this. The more Hao Chunying spoke, the more restless she became.
It was getting late, and the whole family tidied up before heading to Uncle Ye's house.
Uncle Ye's place was bustling with activity, not just because Ye Jianguo had brought his family along. Aunt Ye's family had come over too.
Aunt Ye had never been particularly likable, and Hao Chunying didn't get along with her either. However, since it was the second day of the New Year, Aunt Ye refrained from saying anything unpleasant.
"Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma! Happy New Year, Uncle and Aunt! Happy New Year, Aunt!" Ye Fangfei and Tang Zhicheng greeted their elders first.
"Happy New Year!"
"Feifei and Zhicheng are here! Come in, come in."
"Here, little moonlight, this is your great-aunt's New Year's gift."
After some initial pleasantries, Little Moonlight received several red envelopes.
