After the Dragon Boat Festival.
A shocking piece of news spread throughout Qinghe Bay.
Gu Ruinian is going to be adopted as the heir by Tong Huaqiong.
"Come on, Old Mr. Gu isn't lacking sons and grandsons. The incense is burning strong in the principal line. How is it Ruinian's turn to be adopted?"
"This is clearly a ploy by the second house. Seeing the main house's prosperity, they wanted to cozy up. With no other options, they could only sacrifice a son."
"Will Tong Dajiao agree to this? Ruinian isn't a three-year-old child. Such a grown person won't be easy to manage."
The villagers expressed their opinions on this matter.
Most people felt the second house was not acting honorably.
