When the apricots were ripe, Tong Huaqiong received the news that Gu Ruinian was going to get engaged.
As the eldest sister-in-law, regardless of how poorly Tong Huaqiong got along with the people of the old house, she had to be notified of Gu Ruinian's engagement, and she had to attend Gu Ruinian's engagement banquet.
"Who is Gu Ruinian getting engaged to?" Tong Huaqiong asked Gu Honglian.
"Xu Xinghua," Gu Honglian said and added, "he's marrying into her family."
Tong Huaqiong's mouth twitched.
It was hard on Gu Ruinian, to slip from the dream of being an adopted son-in-law of the Lian Family to being one of the former village chief's family.
To Tong Huaqiong's surprise, Mr. Gu was actually willing to let Gu Ruinian marry into another family.
It was clear that Mr. Gu had completely given up on Gu Ruinian.
