The couple had different ideas and had quarreled many times about this matter, but Second Aunt Luo was determined not to tolerate her eldest sister-in-law being superior and had to fight for the first place in her children's marriage.

This time, Luo Juan married into the county, which made her feel proud. As far as she knew, Xiuyan was going to discuss marriage with Wang Songbai. How could marrying a man who made a living in the soil be the same as marrying a worker?

In the future, when Luo Juan marries and moves to the county, she will be able to raise Congcong. Maybe one day she will be able to arrange a job for her son in a factory. Then their family will be well-off and very different from the people in the village. Maybe in the future they can become city dwellers.

Aunt Luo's face was full of wrinkles when she smiled. Oh, she had already thought about how to refuse someone who came to ask for help in the future.

Tian Cai gave Luo Xiuyan an industrial voucher. Luo Juan was getting married the day after tomorrow, so she could only go to the county tomorrow. By the way, she could also help Tian Cai deliver the things for Du Chunyan.

Old Zhang’s house is in the north of the village.

As soon as Zhang Chuanliang entered the house, he was pulled into the main room by his mother Wu Zhaodi, who was hanging clothes in the yard.

"How is it? Did you see it?" Wu Zhaodi asked anxiously, "What did she buy?"

Zhang Chuanliang recalled what he saw on the car. "I saw they brought back a whole bolt of cloth, several pairs of yellow rubber shoes, enamel basins, and enamel pots. Mom, how much do you think she spent on all this?"

"Oh my goodness," Wu Zhaodi's eyes lit up as she listened, her mouth widening. "If you buy cloth by the piece, then you must have other things too. Daliang, clean yourself up tomorrow and go to her more often. Be tactful and sweet-talk her! Tricking a little girl is like a piece of cake!"

Wu Zhaodi looked at her tall son and felt a surge of pride in her heart. She said that her son was definitely her greatest pride in her life. He was tall, strong, and looked energetic. Many young girls and wives in the village blushed in front of him.

"Break up with Widow Yu as soon as possible, and don't let any rumors mess up this matter!" Wu Zhaodi thought of the widow in Qingshan Village who was still struggling with her son, so she gave him a few worried advice. How many men can be honest? Besides, his son Daliang was just going there to relieve his stress, and it was impossible for him to really marry her.

"Mom, don't worry." Thinking of the things Tian Cai brought back, Zhang Chuanliang couldn't help but straighten his chest and reveal a smug smile, as if those were already in his pocket.

On the day of Uncle Luo's wedding banquet, Tian Cai did not go, but asked someone to bring two cents for him.

At first, Tian Cai didn't know how much she should give as a contribution. She saw that some villagers gave two eggs, and some gave money, only a few cents. She was inconspicuous in the crowd.

Later, I heard from the aunt who came to see the doctor that they didn't see the groom at the banquet at Uncle Luo's house. They said that a leader came to inspect that day and asked him to accompany him. Now he is a key training target in the factory and has a bright future. Everyone became more curious about this mysterious new son-in-law.

Everyone in the village said that they would probably only be able to meet Luo Laoer's new son-in-law when they returned home three days after the wedding. However, the wedding day seemed to be several days away. Now Luo Juan was living in her cousin's house in the county, and she would get married directly from there.

Tian Cai didn't care what the brother-in-law looked like. She had been hiding at home these days, grinding several commonly used medicinal herbs into powder so that she could use them directly when preparing medicine in the future.

Picking a good day, she went up the mountain carrying a bamboo basket and a hoe. The weather had warmed up a lot, and the grass and trees on the sunny slopes had sprouted. She wanted to go to the mountain to see if she could dig up some spring bamboo shoots to change her taste.

The wild vegetables have just sprouted and are still a little too small. Even if you dig them up, there is nothing to eat.

Tian Cai didn't plan to walk too far, so he turned from the small bridge and went straight up the mountain, heading towards the bamboo forest not far away.

The original owner would dig bamboo shoots every spring. Tian Cai would put the bamboo basket aside and slowly search in the direction of bamboo growth. If there were slightly raised and cracked mounds on the ground, there would most likely be bamboo shoots in such places.

Dig gently down along the tip of the bamboo shoot, digging up the soil as you go. When you're almost at the bottom, you just need to use the hoe and give it a good push. It's effortless at all. However, it's still a bit early, and there aren't many bumps in the forest. Tian Cai searched the entire bamboo forest but only found four.

The weather was good today, and she came out wearing a thin cotton coat. Not long after she dried her clothes, beads of sweat began to seep out of the tip of her nose. Tian Cai unbuttoned two buttons and fanned herself, then took two steps back into the woods to avoid the sun.

The dense bamboo forest blocked her slender figure. Just when Tian Cai had rested enough and was about to leave, she heard someone coming towards her.

"...She stays at home every day and never goes out. It's not easy for me to run into her. I can't go to her house every day, right? I'm not sick," a familiar voice said. "I've already said that it's better to go to those educated youth than to her. I think they're all quite rich."

"You know shit," another slightly hoarse female voice said, "Those educated youth are now relying on money from their families, but how long can that money last? They keep saying they'll return to the city in the future, but who knows when that will happen. But that girl is different. She gets paid centimeters every day.

"I've done the math for you. This girl's work points in just one year are as much as you could earn by working yourself to death. Not to mention people constantly give her gifts and money. Look at those who come to see the doctor, none of them come empty-handed. That's the money you can see. Who knows how much more money those who can't see have given!"

"Didn't you say that all the money was handed over to the team?"

"It's true that you have too little experience, so how could you possibly hand it all over? The captain must have left some for her. The donkey must work and not be full. I, your mother, have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. You can be right by listening to me on this matter!" said the hoarse female voice proudly.

Tian Cai: You are the donkey, your whole family are donkeys.

She quietly looked over from behind the bushes, wanting to see who this shameless person was.

Two figures appeared under the shade of the branches. The tall one was Zhang Chuanliang, the man who rode in the same car with Tian Cai when he went to the county a few days ago. The shorter one seemed to be his mother.

"But she is not as pretty as Qiu Zhiqing..." Zhang Chuanliang had long had his eyes on Qiu Xiaohuan. The girl had a fair and tender face and a tall chest. She was beautiful and had a good figure. He felt itchy at the first sight of her. She was much prettier than Yu Guafu.

"Mother knows that you men all love beauty. Besides, my son is so outstanding that no woman is worthy of you. This is liberation. Otherwise, it's okay for you to marry both of them. One will earn money outside and the other will serve you at home." Wu Zhaodi was a maid in a landlord's house before liberation. The landlord was not as handsome as her son, but he still married many women.

"Oh, mother, it's New China now and I can only marry one. Let's talk about it in secret and don't tell anyone else." Zhang Chuanliang said no, but he couldn't help but think about what his mother said in his heart, and he immediately felt hot.

"I'm not stupid, so why do I need you to tell me?"
