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...

Zhao Dajiao's expression changed from confusion to anger.
“I was just guessing. I overheard Xiaoyan talking about her second brother’s girlfriend, who’s from Guojia Village and named Cuicui. So I deliberately stepped on her foot to let you see if it was Guo Cuicui,” He Tiantian said. “Director Zhao, is it really her?”
Zhao Dajiao and Secretary Qi are relatives and neighbors, and have a very close relationship.
When Qi Rongjun was looking for a partner, Zhao Dajiao was definitely there to help.
Enraged, Zhao Dajiao slapped her thigh and cursed, "That shameless slut Guo Cuicui! I'll scratch her face until it's bruised and battered!"
After Zhao Dajiao finished speaking, she ran outside.
"Xiao Yan, stop Director Zhao!" He Tiantian shouted as she chased after Director Zhao.
Qi Xiaoyan was still unaware of what was going on when she heard He Tiantian's words. She quickly came out and blocked Zhao Dajiao's path, asking curiously, "Auntie, who are you chasing?"
"Chase after that little whore Guo Cuicui!" Zhao Dajiao cursed. Qi Rongjun was their pride, and the person he was dating turned out to be a slut. She was so angry that she wanted to chase after him and scratch Guo Cuicui a few times.
Just then, He Tiantian arrived and said, "Director Zhao, if you rush up there like this and beat up Guo Cuicui, what good will it do? Even if it causes a huge uproar, it will only make Rongjun's second brother look bad."
Qi Xiaoyan hadn't reacted when Zhao Dajiao spoke, and when she heard He Tiantian's words, she stammered, "Sister Tiantian, then... then Guo Cuicui really cheated on her?"
“I don’t know Guo Cuicui, but I remember you told me that your future second sister-in-law is Guo Cuicui from Guojia Village. I just heard them say that they are from Guojia Village, and that the woman is Cuicui,” He Tiantian explained. “Director Zhao didn’t recognize her at first, but he remembered her after I told him her name.”
"There's only one Guo Cuicui in Guo Family Village, and she's your second brother's girlfriend," Zhao Dajiao said angrily. "Our Rongjun is such a good man, how could he end up with this slut!"
Qi Xiaoyan trembled with anger. Her father had a good relationship with the village secretary of Guojia Village! She never expected such a thing to happen. While she was angry, she was also sad for her second brother.
The second brother finally agreed to talk about his wife, but unexpectedly, he mentioned a slut.
"We're not married yet, just engaged. Guo Cuicui isn't a good person, so let's just call off the engagement," He Tiantian said. "Why are you all so angry!"
Qi Xiaoyan turned and went out to confront Guo Cuicui.
At this moment, Zhao Dajiao had calmed down and grabbed Qi Xiaoyan, saying, "Xiaoyan, your father and mother will never agree to a daughter-in-law like this. Let's not buy anything today, let's chase after her together. That bastard is also there, let's catch him on the spot. Even if the engagement is called off, it will be Guo Cuicui's fault, not ours."
Qi Xiaoyan trembled with anger. With her parents gone, her aunt was her elder.
Qi Ergou came over from behind and listened for a while before he found out what had happened. He cursed, "I'm going to give that bastard a good beating today!"
Qi Rongjun was his idol. He had followed Qi Rongjun around since he was a child. When he heard that his respected elder brother had done such a thing, of course he couldn't say anything!
"Auntie, let's go with you and see what happens first," Qi Xiaoyan said calmly. She had only heard about it from He Tiantian and her aunt; she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
Although she knew that Qi Xiaoyan wouldn't lie to He Tiantian, she still wanted to see it for herself.
"Okay, we just got the tickets and haven't picked up our things yet. We'll come back to get them later," Zhao Dajiao said, leading the group to chase after Guo Cuicui and the man.
Zhao Dajiao and the others inquired along the way and actually tracked them down to Taoyuan Restaurant.
Guo Cuicui and the man were at the innermost table.
He Tiantian stopped Qi Xiaoyan and said, "Xiaoyan, don't go in. You've met Guo Cuicui several times, so she probably knows you. Besides, you're from out of town, so she doesn't know me. Even if she does know me today, she won't know I'm from Qijia Village. Director Zhao and I will go in first to check the situation."
Qi Xiaoyan heard that they had come to catch their lover in the act! If the other party did not do anything inappropriate, they would rush in and Guo Cuicui and that wild man would still be able to argue and turn the tables on them.
"Alright, you guys go in, I'll wait outside," Qi Xiaoyan said angrily. She couldn't get over the disgust in her heart if she couldn't teach Guo Cuicui a lesson herself.
As soon as Zhao Dajiao entered, she glanced around and sat down near Guo Cuicui. She found a good spot and secretly looked at Guo Cuicui.
As soon as Niu Lili saw He Tiantian, she quickly greeted her warmly.
While He Tiantian was ordering food, she gave Niu Lili a wink.
Niu Lili understood and handed the menu to another colleague, pretending to go to the restroom.
"Sweetie, what's wrong?" Niu Lili asked in a low voice. "There are a lot of people outside, I can't stay any longer!"
He Tiantian checked that there was no one else in the restroom and whispered, "Sister Lili, do you remember the couple sitting in the northeast corner?"
"Yes, they've been coming over for meals quite often lately. I don't know the woman, but I do know the man; he's Qin Hai, a worker at the textile factory," Niu Lili said. "They seem to be dating!"
Judging from her expression, He Tiantian knew that Niu Lili really didn't know Guo Cuicui.
“That woman is Guo Cuicui. She’s Qi Rongjun’s girlfriend, as mentioned in the letter I had Brother Dajun bring back to you last time,” He Tiantian said. “We just saw them arguing at the supply and marketing cooperative. Director Zhao recognized her as Guo Cuicui, and we’ve come here to catch them in the act.”
Niu Lili was stunned, her beautiful big eyes widened, and she stammered, "That...that...is Guo Cuicui?"
“Yes, if it weren’t Guo Cuicui, we wouldn’t have chased after her,” He Tiantian said. “Xiao Yan is outside. She’s already secretly peeked at her several times. That’s Guo Cuicui.”
Upon hearing this, Niu Lili excitedly clenched her hands and exclaimed, "Oh my god, this is wonderful!"
"Sister Lili, keep your voice down," He Tiantian reminded her, quickly pulling Niu Lili aside. "Now that something like this has happened, Secretary Qi will definitely not agree to this marriage. I'm here to tell you this so you know what I'm talking about!"
Even though He Tiantian didn't become a matchmaker, she secretly tipped Niu Lili off, which can be considered as helping her.
Niu Lili was very excited and held He Tiantian's hand tightly, saying, "Good sister, you are really my good sister."
As they were talking, they heard a commotion coming from the restaurant ahead.
Niu Lili and He Tiantian's expressions changed, and they quickly ran out of the restroom and into the lobby.
"Why are you hitting people?" That was Qin Hai's voice. "Stop hitting them! Stop hitting them!"
Qin Hai tried to pull Zhao Dajiao away, but Qi Ergou grabbed him and slapped him across the face, saying, "You dare to cheat on me!" (To be continued.)
