Fun times are always so short-lived!
Li Ruhai was having a grand time chatting with a group of women, and over half an hour flew by before he knew it.
It was already past five o'clock, and every household had to start making dinner. Most of the women dispersed, leaving only two who stayed by Li Ruhai's side.
Only after everyone else had left did the older woman say to Li Ruhai, "Ruhai, my Yue'Er saw something today."
The Yue'Er she mentioned was the young wife next to her, not yet thirty years old. Her name was Song Qiuyue, and she had married into the village from Yongfu Village. For the first two years after she moved, Song Qiuyue had no family around. It was a sudden change, and she struggled to get used to life with her in-laws, barely interacting with anyone in the village.
Then one day, she ran into the gossip-mongering Li Ruhai. From that day forward, Song Qiuyue truly became part of the big family of Yong'an Village.
