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...

The couple came up with a solution, and it was very effective; they were finally able to fall asleep.
When Cui Ying told Huang Jingli the method, Huang Jingli smiled and said, "Thank you, Cui Ying. I've also thought of this method and I'm already working on it. To deal with a despicable person, you can't use normal methods; you have to be even more despicable than her."
"Hehe, we should have done this a long time ago," Cui Ying laughed. "Stay away from Lin Xiaoru in the future. That woman is a scoundrel and a real scoundrel."
"I will," Huang Jingli said. "Thank you for taking care of our family while I was away."
"No need to thank me, we're all friends." Cui Ying smiled. "Alright, I won't disturb you on your way to work, I need to go to the shop too."
"Oh my god, you actually quit your job?" Huang Jingli said in disbelief. "I thought you were just saying it!"
“Yes, I don’t like working there either. It’s so dull and lifeless. I still prefer running a shop,” Cui Ying said. “Don’t worry, I will definitely make you money. I won’t let you lose money.”
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself," Huang Jingli comforted her. "Doing business isn't easy."
"Okay, I'll be going then." Cui Ying left; there were still many things to do at the shop.
Huashan has gone down to collect items. He has indeed collected some genuine items in the past few days to prepare for opening the shop.
Cui Ying is in charge of overseeing the shop's renovation, which should be completed in a couple of days, and the shop can open this weekend.
When Huang Jingli went to work, she was met with strange looks from everyone. People who were usually on good terms with her distanced themselves from her; even the leaders who used to appreciate her ignored her.
For half a month, Huang Jingli finally learned that her newspaper had received a report alleging that she had caused someone to miscarry.
That person wrote a letter every day without finding it tiring.
Hehe, Lin Xiaoru.
Huang Jingli couldn't care less about that, so she sent a letter to Lin Xiaoru's school every day to report her.
Huang Jingli used to have a lot of work to do every day, but now people are unconsciously isolating her.
Huang Jingli tried to explain, but to little avail.
Huang Jingli was unhappy working here.
Thinking about this, Huang Jingli also had the idea of resigning.
Although it's a secure job at the daily newspaper office, the monthly salary is only one hundred yuan, which isn't even enough for my father-in-law to earn in a day!
Furthermore, if you're not happy doing it, then don't do it.
Even if she changes jobs, Lin Xiaoru will be like a leech, continuing to write complaint letters.
Because the cost is very low, but it requires Huang Jingli to spend a lot of effort to quell the situation.
At the same time, she also envied Cui Ying, who could do what she wanted.
After thinking it through, Huang Jingli went home and discussed it with Wu Youliang.
Although Wu Youliang felt it was a pity, this situation was indeed difficult to handle. Besides, his wife was unhappy doing it, so he nodded and said, "If you're not happy, then don't do it. We don't lack money at home. You and my mother can take care of the child together."
“My mother-in-law helps take care of the children, and we work in the business with my father-in-law. He lives alone in our family, and he's so old; it's too hard for him. I want to help him.”
Wu Youliang nodded and said, "That works too!"
"Thank you, Youliang," Huang Jingli said.
“You are my wife, you don’t need to thank me. As long as you are happy, that’s all that matters.” Wu Youliang hugged his wife and comforted her.
When Wu's father returned from the countryside, the family had dinner together, and Wu Youliang took the opportunity to tell him about this matter.
"Then all those years of university education were wasted?" Mr. Wu felt it was a pity, since only outstanding people could get into university.
Huang Jingli smiled and said, "Actually, it wasn't a complete waste of time. I met Wu Youliang through university, and I have such a wonderful family like you! I also have a few good friends."
"Haha!" Mother Wu was delighted to hear this. "That's right. If Jingli didn't go to university, my son wouldn't be able to find such a good wife. Old man, if you're unhappy working at those lousy companies, then quit. It's not good to have our good daughter-in-law being bullied there. It's perfect that Jingli is in the city taking care of the children and helping you look after the business here. I'll go back to my hometown and continue raising ducks, chickens, and pigs. I'll earn more in a year than they do combined."
Although what Wu's mother said was true, it still left Wu Youliang and Huang Jingli with mixed feelings.
Mr. Wu thought that the food, drink and clothing he had been eating, drinking and wearing at home for the past year or two were not as good as before, so he thought it would be good for his wife to go back with him.
“Fine, if you don’t want to do it, then don’t. Our family doesn’t lack that little bit of money. As long as our family can live peacefully and safely, that’s enough,” said Mr. Wu. He didn’t continue speaking. He used to work in a government agency and knew the ins and outs of it.
Huang Jingli was very happy to see that her parents-in-law agreed.
That evening, the couple discussed the matter privately.
“Jingli, actually I also want to resign,” Wu Youliang said. “I want you and your parents to live a life of luxury, but if I stay in the research institute, even if I work hard to climb the ladder, it will take me twenty years. You and the children can probably enjoy the fruits of my labor, but my parents may not be able to, so I also want to go into business.”
Huang Jingli was taken aback and said, "Actually, doing business isn't that easy. If you have a good project, you can do it. Look at Tiantian, she has a secret recipe for braised meat, and her business is booming; Huashan can appraise jewelry and can open an antique shop. One of us is a writer, and the other is a chemist, we don't have any special skills, do we?"
Wu Youliang said, "I have a special skill. Last time I saw Huo Yingjie's solar water heater, it can be used in all three seasons except winter."
"Do you know how much Huo Yingjie spent on those two solar panels?" Huang Jingli asked. "A full ten thousand yuan. Would an average family buy something so expensive?"
“It’s too expensive, no one will buy it. But I’ve developed some alternative materials that are very cheap, probably only a thousand or so yuan,” Wu Youliang said. “Moreover, I can design some other supporting equipment to further reduce the cost, which I estimate can be reduced to five hundred. If we sell it for a thousand, and it provides hot water for three and a half seasons a year, many families will definitely buy it.”
Huang Jingli's eyes lit up, and she said, "It's indeed a good project. If you're interested, you can continue to research it. Our family makes money in business, so we can buy you some materials. If the conditions are right, we can set up a factory. If we don't have the money, we can find investors!"
“Yes, that’s what I think too,” Wu Youliang said.
Lin Xiaoru's actions not only failed to defeat Huang Jingli, but they gave her the determination to resign.
He Tiantian nodded after hearing about Huang Jingli's actions and said, "Well, actually it's fine this way, as long as you're comfortable."
"That feels so good!" Huang Jingli said. "By the way, Tiantian, Youliang was inspired by the solar water heater that Huo Yingjie made..."
