Wu Zhiqiu goes out every day to buy furniture for his new home.

A shop owner, knowing that Wu Zhiqi wanted to buy antiques, introduced him to a major collector who was selling some of his items and suggested that Wu Zhiqi take a look.

Unlike in previous years, old items are hard to find now.

Wu Zhiqi and Li Mancang went there. It was a very large courtyard house, very grand, with a long row of back rooms filled with all kinds of old furniture and ornaments.

There were several groups of people watching when they arrived.

The parties sized each other up.

Several of them met the gazes of Li Mancang and Wu Zhiqi, and both sides were stunned for a moment.

They were acquaintances, members of the Tian family whom I hadn't seen in a long time: Wu Meifang, Tian He and his wife, and Tian Qingqing.

Wu Meifang, who came out a few years ago, is now thin and looks much older. She no longer has the demeanor and energy of a former leader. The biggest change is in Tian Qingqing, who has gained a lot of weight and returned to her pre-diet figure. Now in middle age, her face is full of vicissitudes, and you can still vaguely see a trace of her former self.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, it's been a long time! You've come to look at furniture too!" Tian He greeted them warmly.

"Yes, we came here for a look around," Li Mancang said politely.

“My son is getting married, and we heard that there are some nice items here, so we came to take a look,” Tian He said with a smile.

"Congratulations then. You guys watch, we'll go over there." The atmosphere was just too awkward, so Li Mancang and Wu Zhiqi went to the other side.

Wu Meifang stared at Wu Zhiqi's back.

"Mom, there's nothing suitable here, let's go," Tian Qingqing said. She had mixed feelings. When she was younger, she wanted to take revenge. But they were no longer on the same level. She was just young and impetuous back then.

Wu Meifang nodded. "Let's go."

Tian He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left with his family.

Tian He's wife and Tian Qingqing lagged behind, walking a few steps behind.

"Qingqing, do you regret it?"

Tian Qingqing smiled bitterly, "Sister-in-law, it's all fate."

How could she not regret it? Look at Li Xing'an's current status, look at the life Su Mo is living, and look at herself, middle-aged, barely making ends meet.

The older sister-in-law patted Tian Qingqing's hand and said, "Live your own life well."

A few years ago, Tian Qingqing got married to a divorced man from an ordinary family with no children. They had to be very careful with their money. After giving birth to a girl, she gained weight and has been like that ever since.

Tian Qingqing nodded. No matter how good others were, that's all in the past. We still need to live our own lives well.

"Mom, are you alright?" Tian He asked from the front.

Wu Meifang shook her head. "It's nothing. Things have really changed. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."

Wu Meifang has long since let go of those things over the years. At the time, she was under all sorts of pressure, and she doesn't know why she did such a thing. Prison life was unbearable for her, and she was punished.

Tian He nodded. When they first met the Li family, they all felt that the Li family was marrying above their station. Now, they couldn't compare to them in terms of social status or assets. Who would have thought that the Li family would develop like this?

Li Mancang watched them leave and breathed a sigh of relief. "I wonder how Tian Shengli is doing. He's a good man."

Wu Zhiqi was unaware that he hadn't paid attention to the Tian family all these years.

Let's look at some furniture.

The couple wasn't affected much; everything here was good, and it was rare to find so many things they liked, so Wu Zhiqi bought quite a lot.
