Xu Chongshan thought both Yun Hao and Xu Wenwan had a screw loose. They were a perfect match for each other.
He couldn't be bothered with their affairs and was about to go back to sharpening his sickle.
But then, his father's voice came from inside the room.
Only then did Xu Chongshan put the sickle away in the woodshed and head into the house.
The moment he stepped inside, Village Chief Xu spoke.
"Go get your eldest brother and his wife."
They would leave Yu Fangfang out of it. It wouldn't be good if something were to upset her during her pregnancy.
Without a word, Xu Chongshan turned and went to Xu Chongfeng's room, then brought Xu Chongfeng and Chen Xiaoli to the main room.
Chen Xiaoli walked in, and as soon as she sat down, her gaze drifted involuntarily to Yun Hao.
The sight gave Chen Xiaoli a start.
The Yun Hao of the past had been dashing and full of confidence. But the Yun Hao of today sat hunched over on a low stool, radiating an aura of utter dejection.
