After listening to Zheng's mother's account, Tian Xiaohui was speechless and her mind was filled with many thoughts. She never expected that she would be so important to Zheng Song and his mother.

"Auntie, please don't say that..."

She was a little embarrassed.

Zheng's mother still held her hand, her eyes full of satisfaction, and said with a smile, "After meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed a good girl, just as Changsong said. I just hope you won't look down on our Changsong."

No, it won't.

Tian Xiaohui immediately shook her head.

Thinking of her family's circumstances, she lowered her head, her tone tinged with melancholy: "I'm not much better off than Zheng Song. He's better off than me, he doesn't lack wives, so why should I look down on him?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng's mother quickly shook her head and said, "You can't say that. Since ancient times, it has always been about seeking marriage. When two people get married and live together, the woman is supposed to come to the man's house, but the premise for her to come is to see if the man's house is worth her coming."

That makes a lot of sense.

Tian Xiaohui could only smile.

Faced with Zheng's mother's affection for him, she didn't know how to respond. Having lived in the mountains since childhood, where her family worried every day about how much food was left, she had never experienced such a heavy emotion.

She could feel Zheng Song's affection.

A man won't be nice to a woman for no reason. He'll come to see her every morning before going to work, bring her a chair so she can bask in the sun, bring her food, and take good care of her. He'll also come to see her again after get off work before going home.

How could she not feel this affection?

But her heart hadn't yet found its place.

She dared not respond to Zheng Song until she had completely forgotten Xing Yujie.

She also felt like she was dreaming.

Perhaps it was good fortune from their ancestors' graves, but both Xing Yujie and Zheng Song were such outstanding people, yet they both became entangled in romantic relationships with her, even though she was just an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, Tian Xiaohui simply said:

"Auntie, I know what you mean. You're here to speak on behalf of Zheng Song. Why don't you give me a few days to think it over?"

Zheng's mother seemed to realize that she had acted too hastily, and she smiled as well.

However, she still held Tian Xiaohui's hand and said, "Xiaohui, don't worry, you can take your time to think about it. I'm just here to visit you, not to force you. Marriage is a major life event, concerning the rest of your life. If you choose poorly, you'll fall into a fire pit and live in misery for the rest of your life."

"Such an important matter should be carefully considered and a choice should be made prudently."

That's a good saying; it's about retreating to advance.

In fact, Zheng's mother wanted to marry Tian Xiaohui into the family as soon as possible, but she couldn't put pressure on Tian Xiaohui, so she could only say that. In her heart, she wanted to marry Tian Xiaohui into the family even faster than Zheng Song.

Zheng's mother's intentions were obvious.

Unfortunately, that silly girl Tian Xiaohui didn't know that.

She naively thought that Zheng's mother was just visiting him, so she lowered her guard and foolishly thanked Zheng's mother: "Auntie, thank you for visiting me today and bringing so many things. I will think about Zheng Song and me carefully, don't worry."

"Okay!"

Zheng's mother nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Ye Yun returned to her room.

"Aunt Zheng, you've arrived." Ye Yun greeted Zheng's mother politely as she entered the house.

This was the first time Zheng's mother had seen Ye Yun. She looked Ye Yun up and down with amazement and quickly nodded and smiled, "Oh, you must be Qin Zheng's wife? He told me about you, and you really are a good girl."

"You flatter me."

Upon learning that Zheng Song's mother had arrived at the garment factory, Ye Yun immediately put aside her work to greet her.

It was also her first time meeting Zheng Song's mother. Seeing that there was no tea on the table, she went to make tea and pour water herself.

"Since you're here, Auntie, please sit for a while. The factory will be serving lunch soon, and Zheng Song might come too. Why don't you have lunch here with us?"

"No, no."

After seeing Tian Xiaohui, Zheng's mother realized that Tian Xiaohui was indeed a good girl, just as Zheng Song had said, and she was relieved.

She had things to do at home, so she said to Ye Yun, "We still have chickens and ducks at home, and I also brought some handicrafts to make at home. If we stay here to eat, it will take up a lot of time, so let's not eat today. Next time, let's go to a state-run restaurant and have a proper get-together, a real meeting meal."

After all, it was her first meal with her future daughter-in-law, so she wanted to make it a bit more formal.

After saying that, Zheng's mother hurriedly walked out.

She seemed afraid that Ye Yun would force her to stay.

Some things need to be done in moderation. She was eager to marry Tian Xiaohui, but she also knew she couldn't spend too much time in front of Tian Xiaohui, or she would become universally disliked.

Okay, okay, you're so particular, aren't you?

Since Zheng's mother didn't want to stay for dinner, Ye Yun didn't press her to stay any longer and simply followed her outside.

They escorted Zheng's mother all the way to the front gate.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Yun watched Zheng's mother leave, her figure slowly disappearing from sight.

She then let out a soft sigh.

Turning around, I saw Tian Xiaohui.

At this moment, Tian Xiaohui was also gazing in the direction where Zheng's mother had left. Her face was expressionless, and it was precisely this expressionless face that made people feel the bewilderment and confusion in her expression.

"Let's go back."

Ye Yun turned and went into the garment factory.

All the way back to the house, Tian Xiaohui's face remained worried.

Ye Yun had been working in the workshop for over an hour and was extremely thirsty. She poured herself a glass of water and was drinking it when she heard Tian Xiaohui's soft voice behind her: "Sister-in-law, do you think I should go see Xing Yujie?"

Um?

Ye Yun paused in her drinking.

"What do you mean?" She put down her water glass and looked at Tian Xiaohui with a hint of interest.

Tian Xiaohui bit her lip and tugged at the corner of her mouth, saying, "After I went to his house for dinner last time, I broke up with him in a fit of anger and wouldn't let him see me. I thought it was all over between us, but after Zheng Song appeared, I realized that my heart couldn't hold anyone else. The reason I can't hold anyone else is probably because I haven't really let go of Xing Yujie. I think... I should go to him one more time and try one last time. If it really doesn't work, I think I can finally give up completely."

oh.

Oh, I see.

Ye Yun shrugged and said in an indifferent tone, "I don't care about your business. You're an adult, you have your own way of making judgments, and you should know what to do."

Tian Xiaohui was stunned.

Realizing that Ye Yun didn't want to deal with her anymore, her tone became flustered: "Sister-in-law, please don't be like this. Do you think I shouldn't have gone to see Xing Yujie?"

“I didn’t say that.”

"and you……"

"stop."

Ye Yun raised her hand to interrupt her, and smiled slightly as she looked at her nervous face.
