In her past life, she could only hear such rambling in her dreams.

Dissatisfaction can lead to insatiable greed.

Not cherishing it will lead to deep regret.

"I know, I won't go out when I'm alone now," He Tiantian replied. As for sneaking out alone at night, well, there's always the Snake King!

It's not just one person!

Recently, the Snake Queen has been acting strangely, hiding in the barrier space and refusing to come out. She hasn't been to the cave in the back mountain for several days.

"Just remember that." Wang Shuping pinched her daughter's cute little face. "Oh my, my daughter is so beautiful, the more I look at her, the more beautiful she becomes."

"Hahaha!" He Tiantian laughed loudly, "Parents always think their own children are the prettiest."

“Mom is just stating the facts, that’s why she didn’t say anything wrong,” Wang Shuping said with a smile. To prove she was right, she looked at Grandma Qi, “Godmother, don’t you think so?”

Grandma Qi looked He Tiantian up and down, nodded and said, "You're right, Tiantian is pretty, almost like me when I was young."

"Hahaha!" Upon hearing this, Shuping and He Tiantian immediately felt that the most adorable person was Grandma Qi.

Seeing them laugh, Grandma Qi pretended to be annoyed and said, "You really don't believe me. When I was young, I looked beautiful in a light yellow cheongsam! I have photos of it, Tian Tian has seen them, hasn't she?"

He Tiantian smiled and explained, "It's not that we don't believe you, but we think you're the cutest and most beautiful person in our family!"

Hearing this, Grandma Qi's face lit up with a big smile, and she said modestly, "Hehe, you two, you just know how to joke with me. But you're right, my father said to me back then, 'The West Lake is like Xi Shi, beautiful whether adorned or plain!'"

"That's so true," He Tiantian agreed. A woman should feel beautiful, not just in appearance, but also in her own temperament.

Most importantly, be confident!

"Oh, I still have a few pieces of jewelry among my most treasured possessions, but the colors are a bit too youthful for me to wear. I'll leave them all for Tian'er. As for clothes, well, there are too few styles," Grandma Qi sighed. In this era, people mostly wore trousers and shirts, and skirts were almost nonexistent, let alone cheongsams with slits on both sides.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Grandma, when I have the chance, I'll buy you some silk. The deep purple kind, it looks so elegant and noble on an old lady. I'll make it into a cheongsam for you to wear at home, we won't go out. Wearing it will make you feel good."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Qi asked excitedly, "Can you really get it?"

"Of course we can. We'll find a good tailor and make a qipao that fits perfectly," He Tiantian said. Grandma Qi was a woman with a bit of a bourgeois taste who liked pretty clothes and jewelry.

In other eras, this wouldn't be a problem.

However, in this era of distorted aesthetics, it is considered immoral and undignified.

“No need to find a tailor, I can make it myself,” Grandma Qi said. “When I have the kind of good fabric you mentioned, I’ll definitely make a beautiful cheongsam. Oh, and I also have a pair of embroidered cloth shoes. If I don’t have embroidered cloth shoes, high heels will do. I’ll wear this to my burial after I’m gone. I don’t want to wear those monotonous big-fronted jackets and baggy trousers; they’re so ugly.”

Grandma Qi is making arrangements for her funeral. She has so many nice things that she can't wear while she's alive, so she hopes to look nice when she dies.

He Tiantian felt quite sad when she heard this. Sigh, Grandma Qi has so many good things that she doesn't need. She must have a lot of regrets in her heart!

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll definitely get you the finest silk," He Tiantian said. "Take good care of yourself, and maybe soon we'll be able to wear all sorts of colorful clothes!"

Grandma Qi smiled and said, "I hope so!"

She's seen through everything in this life!

If you can live, live well.

If I can live well, I will never wrong myself.

Grandma Qi's words greatly surprised Wang Shuping!

Before she knew it, it was Liu Lingli's wedding day. Wang Shuping asked her husband He Jingyu's daughter to take a piece of cloth and five mao (0.5 yuan) as a wedding gift to Hujia Village.

He Jingyu waited not far away, while He Tiantian went directly to the educated youth settlement.

Today, Liu Lingli was dressed in fairly neat clothes, with a flower tucked into the left pocket of her jacket. Several educated youths were chatting and laughing around her, but some of them were saying things that sounded rather insincere.

He Tiantian understood the feelings of these educated youths. On the one hand, they looked down on Liu Lingli for marrying a rural man; on the other hand, they envied Liu Lingli for having no worries about food and drink in the future.

When Liu Lingli saw He Tiantian coming over, she smiled and said, "Tiantian, come and sit down."

When the educated youth saw He Tiantian arrive, they stopped talking and laughing and looked at her.

"Liu Lingli, your fellow villager is really beautiful," a former educated youth said enviously. "No wonder she's doing so well in Qijia Village and even has a grandmother."

Liu Lingli had heard too many of their sarcastic remarks before, and now that she saw them mocking He Tiantian, although she felt the same way, He Tiantian had come to congratulate her on her wedding.

“That’s sincerity for sincerity,” Liu Lingli said. “Like you used to look down on rural people, although rural people are honest and kind, they’re not stupid. They can see that. Why should they be nice to you?”

When the female educated youth heard Liu Lingli say that, she got angry and said, "I was just saying, why are you making fun of me like that!"

He Tiantian didn't expect Liu Lingli to speak up for her, especially since today was Liu Lingli's big day, and He Tiantian didn't want her presence to cause conflict between Liu Lingli and these people.

"Sisters, I apologize for my rudeness." He Tiantian said with a polite smile, "No matter what, today is Sister Lingli's big day. We are all in the same boat, let's wish her well together."

Upon hearing this, everyone held He Tiantian in high regard.

Wow, you can tell someone's skill level just by listening to them speak.

“Yes, marriage is the most important day for a woman. We can talk about other things later. Let’s have a lively wedding for Liu Lingli now,” said one of the older educated youths. “Making a scene today will make Liu Lingli hold a grudge for the rest of her life.”

Liu Lingli got married and settled down in Hujia Village.

But they are still adrift, unwilling to marry locals, yet unable to leave, leading a difficult life. Perhaps they will need Liu Lingli again someday.

Upon hearing this, everyone readily agreed.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Yes, we are all women, so we should unite even more."

“He Tiantian is right, why should women make things difficult for each other?” one of the educated youth said.

That made a lot of sense and resolved the minor conflict! (To be continued.)
