He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...

After Mr. Yuan wiped away his tears, He Tiantian took the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, Mr. Yuan was just too happy, which is why he lost control of his emotions. However, I believe that all the married women here can understand Mr. Yuan's feelings. Because I am Yuan Hua's university teacher, I am honored to speak here today as a member of the bride's family. I hope that Yuan Hua and Zhu Zhitao will have a harmonious marriage and all their wishes fulfilled. Here, I would also like to say to Yuan Hua, since I am standing here today, I am now part of your family. Anyone who bullies you is bullying me. If you feel wronged or encounter difficulties, tell me. As an elder, it is natural for me to stand up for the younger generation. Thank you."
He Tiantian changed her lines at the last minute because she saw the expression on Zhu Zhitao's mother's face.
Yuan Hua's father was deeply moved when he heard this.
Qi Xiaoyan, Wang Ying, and Jiang Wenwen immediately clapped their hands and shouted, "Good, good!"
The man, who had sensed that Zhu's mother was somewhat unhappy, was secretly surprised. He looked down on her for not having a mother, but she had powerful backers.
Upon hearing this, Zhu's father was secretly angry. Why couldn't his wife be happy on their joyous occasion?
Since you've already agreed, why are you giving me attitude? What's the point of giving me attitude?
So what if my daughter-in-law is so capable, even if her family background isn't good?
The Zhu family is just an ordinary family, what's with all the arrogance!
Mr. Zhu touched Mrs. Zhu's arm, and Mrs. Zhu dared not do it again.
Niu Dajun took the microphone and said to Zhu Zhitao with a smile, "Groom, did you hear what our family members said?"
Zhu Zhitao was happy today. Although he was tired, he was very excited and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I heard you. I will take good care of Yuanhua and be filial to my father-in-law. You can rest assured to entrust your daughter to me."
Zhu Zhitao also sensed that something was wrong with his mother earlier, and in front of her family and all his relatives and friends, he made a loud promise.
With Zhu Zhitao's assurance, the wedding proceeded smoothly.
After the ceremony, the banquet officially began.
During the meal, Head Coach Wu personally came over to toast He Tiantian, which surprised many coaches and athletes present. However, considering He Tiantian's excellent results, everyone was quite relieved.
What a genius! He deserves to be treated this way by Head Coach Wu.
Head Coach Wu took the opportunity to introduce He Tiantian to the other people.
Since they would inevitably run into each other again, He Tiantian drank a few glasses of wine with Coach Wu and the others.
However, Huo Yingjie stayed by her side, making his presence felt, so that those who thought He Tiantian was pretty and wanted to pursue her would back down.
Although Huo Yingjie's methods were somewhat unconventional, they were actually very useful.
After going around the circle, everyone knows that Teacher He is beautiful, but her husband is even more handsome and capable.
Afterwards, Yuanhua was taken to the bridal chamber that the Zhu family had prepared. Everyone made merry for a while before dispersing.
Niu Dajun, Qi Xiaoyan, and He Tiantian personally escorted Yuan's father home.
Niu Dajun's father was worried that Yuan's father was home alone, so he came over to keep his old friend company and chat.
Afterwards, Qi Xiaoyan, Wang Ying, and Jiang Wenwen went to He Tiantian's house together.
"Sister Tian, Yuanhua's mother-in-law, she's obviously a troublemaker," Qi Xiaoyan said. "Do you think Yuanhua knows about this?"
He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "I think I should know."
"Then why would Yuanhua agree to marry into such a family?" Wang Ying said angrily. "Today is Yuanhua's wedding day, so I'm too embarrassed to ask. We'll go and see him when he returns to his parents' home on the third day."
“Okay, let’s all ask together then.” He Tiantian nodded; she wouldn’t be at ease until she got to the bottom of this.
The group agreed that they would personally visit Yuan Hua's family on the third day after his return to his parents' home to inquire about his situation.
That day, several good friends canceled everything and came together.
Yuan Hua and Zhu Zhitao prepared generous gifts for the bride's return visit and were very happy to see several friends present.
Yuan's father was cooking in the kitchen, and Zhu Zhitao went to help. He Tiantian and the others pulled Yuan Hua into the house and asked her what was going on.
"Yuanhua, is your mother-in-law easy to get along with?" Qi Xiaoyan asked directly, sounding quite anxious.
"Hehe, my mother-in-law is a bit high-minded," Yuanhua laughed. "Actually, she's not a bad person. It's just that I want to move back in after I get married and don't want to squeeze in with them. As you can see, Zhu Zhitao's house only has three bedrooms. The old couple lives in one, and Zhu Zhitao and his younger brother-in-law used to share a room until my eldest sister went abroad to study. Then Zhu Zhitao moved into my eldest sister's room. But my eldest sister isn't married yet, and she'll be back sooner or later. How will we manage then? So when they asked me what my future room would be like, I said it wouldn't be good to take my husband's older sister's room."
"Oh, I see." He Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief. "However, it is indeed a bit inconvenient for so many people to be crammed together. Besides, you can't rest easy knowing that Yuan's father lives alone at home."
“Yes, and my yard is big, with lots of rooms,” Yuan Hua said. “It would be so spacious to move in with me.”
Qi Xiaoyan, Wang Ying, and Jiang Wenwen were all relieved.
"So what did Zhu Zhitao say?" Wang Ying asked. In these kinds of situations, it mainly depends on the man.
Yuan Hua smiled and said, "Zhu Zhitao has agreed and said he wants to come back and live with me. He also feels that the house is too crowded and he can't do anything freely."
"Haha!" Qi Xiaoyan blinked. "Hehe, what's there to be so reserved about?"
He Tiantian, Wang Ying, and the other married women chuckled in unison, looking on with amusement.
Although Jiang Wenwen is unmarried, she tells dirty jokes even better than married women like He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan.
"You guys are so mean!" As the new bride, Yuan Hua couldn't stand her friends' teasing. Her face flushed red, and she reached out to slap a few of her mischievous friends.
Several people were joking around.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Yuanhua, when are you and Zhu Zhitao moving in?" He Tiantian asked. "If you move in, we can chat together in the evenings."
“I’ll move in when I get back from my trip,” Yuan Hua said. “I’ve already talked to my dad, and he’d love for me to come home.”
"Well, as for your mother-in-law, you can buy her some things and try to appease her. On weekends, accompany Zhu Zhitao back to visit the elderly couple," He Tiantian suggested. "After all, you're family. If things get really heated, Zhu Zhitao will feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle, and it will also affect the atmosphere in your family."
“Yes, that’s what I think too,” Yuan Hua said. “Teacher He, thank you for your help on my wedding day, and thank you to Sister Xiaoyan, Sister Wang Ying, and Jiang Wenwen as well. I’m so lucky to have friends like you.”
"Hehe, we're good sisters, we'll support each other in the future," He Tiantian said. "This isn't just for Yuanhua, it's the same for you all. If there are difficulties, we'll solve them together, don't get stuck on one's own problems."
"Yes, yes, we've remembered." Qi Xiaoyan said. Over the years, He Tiantian has been like family to her, and she has been like family to He Tiantian. They support and help each other in Yanjing so that they don't feel lonely.
