No one knew how they first got together. In the beginning, they tried to hide it, but eventually, they stopped.
Many of the younger children didn't know about it, but all the adults in the village did.
Juhua's husband had fought and caused a scene, but it was no use.
After all the fighting and commotion, Juhua brazenly moved in with Uncle Fan, eating and living there.
Uncle Fan's wife, whether out of resignation or something else, saw that Juhua was a diligent worker who helped around the house and didn't mind her. She just treated her as an extra, unpaid laborer.
They would even... exchange a few words from time to time.
If her own husband couldn't control the situation, there was nothing the villagers could do, though they gossiped behind her back.
This was the first time Su Li had heard of such a thing, and she was utterly dumbfounded.
On the way to the Fan Family's house, she passed by Uncle Fan's home and made a point to look at Juhua, who was working in the yard.
