Time flies; in the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Day of 1975. Tian Sisi had already turned 13 and had been here for three years.
The 13-year-old Tian Sisi had shed her baby fat from three years ago. Her tall figure, beautiful and delicate face, and black and shiny hair all proved that she had grown into a beautiful young lady.

A few days ago, an earth-shattering event occurred in Yuequan Village. Zhong Liangcai's daughter, Zhong Yuying, ran away from her wedding and even stole the dowry of two hundred yuan from the groom's family, leaving without a trace.
Zhong Liangcai had betrothed Zhong Yuying to a fool in town who was seven or eight years older than her, born mentally challenged and unable to take care of himself, incapable of speaking clearly.
