After Village Chief He left, the families exchanged a few more words, then each went back to their own homes.
But Gu Daya came back again, and she brought Qi Kang Le with her, saying to Qi Kang Le: "Kneel down."
Qi Kang Le immediately knelt down on the ground.
Third Grandpa and Third Grandma looked on and asked, "Daya, what's this all about? Why are you making the child kneel for no reason?"
Third Grandma tried to help Qi Kang Le up, but was stopped by Gu Daya: "Third Aunt, let her kneel; it would serve her right to kneel to death!"
Third Grandpa frowned upon hearing this and asked Gu Daya, "What on earth is going on? Out with it."
Gu Daya explained all about Qi Kang Le not wanting to marry and wishing to set up a female-led household and open a tavern.
