"Then I'll go for a walk on the street to see if I can run into my brother," said Tian Ermei.
She left the wonton stall, glancing around as she walked.
She saw a seller of candied haws not far away. The candied haws were lustrous and bright red, making people want to take a bite just by looking at them.
Tian Ermei quickly walked over, took out money, and bought two skewers. Just as she was about to head back, she heard the candied haw seller gossiping with someone nearby: "You all don't know, do you? I just came from the Gan Family's door, it's really lively there..."
"What's so lively? Could it be someone has come to propose to the Gan Family's girl?"
"Not at all." The candied haw seller glanced around, lowered his voice, and said, "I heard her boyfriend from out of town drank too much and ended up in bed with her in a daze..."
"Oh my, is this true? Such things are something we might only encounter once in a hundred years in our Hexi Village! Tsk tsk tsk..."
