Even the usually composed Zhao Denglong came up and took He Tiantian's hand.

However, the most excited were He Chun and her wife. The two elderly people had tears in their eyes and were too excited to speak.

He Tiantian glanced at the two elders. There was nothing she could do; the original owner of this body had feelings for them, but she didn't.

She couldn't even pretend to be deeply moved and shed tears.

However, she still mustered her emotions and called out, "Father, Mother..."

"Oh..." Chen's tears fell like beans in an instant.

She stepped forward and took He Tiantian's hand, looking at it repeatedly, "My Tiantian, my poor child..."

He Tiantian silently thought to herself: She used to have a really tough life, but that's all gone now.

Although He Chun also wanted to cry, he was a man after all, so he had to keep his thoughts to himself.

"Old woman, seeing your daughter is a joyous occasion, why are you crying! Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"

Chen's lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something more.

He Tiantian quickly stepped forward and said loudly, "Everyone, don't just stand there! I bought some things, come and help carry them back inside."

So much meat, we can't let it get ruined by the sun.

Besides, we should move while no one's around. Otherwise, if those gossipy women in the village see us, they'll start spreading rumors everywhere.

Upon hearing this, the adults and children quickly went to move things.

He Tiantian took out a wad of silver from her sleeve and quietly slipped it into the hand of the yamen runner.

"You've had a hard day, officer. Why don't you come in and have some water?"

The young clerk was flattered by the silver and wanted to return it.

It's obvious this is their first time offering bribes; they have no experience.

"No, no, Aunt He. I need to hurry back to report to the magistrate."

He Tiantian pushed the young yamen runner's hand away, "This is for the officials' tea money, please don't refuse."

The young clerk blushed and accepted the money, his heart pounding nervously.

All that meat was finally moved to the yard because there was simply no other place to put it, so it had to be placed on the ground.

They still used the original straw mat underneath.

Yulan's mother was somewhat startled by the large amount of meat piled up in the pot.

"Wanzi's mom, why did you buy so much meat! It'll go bad if we don't finish it in this heat."

He Tiantian laughed and said, "I'm going to make jerky so it can be stored longer. Don't be fooled by how much meat there is; there won't be much left after it's all made."

Yulan's mother thought to herself, "Making this meat jerky is really not worth it! How much less meat will we have to eat?"

Because it was mealtime, everyone else kept their questions to themselves, no matter how many they had.

He Tiantian invited Zhao Xiaohe to stay at her home for dinner, and they would go home afterward.

She hadn't eaten Zhao Denglong's cooking in a long time, and she missed it terribly.

After the meal, Sister-in-law Yulan tactfully took her two children and left.

He Tiantian cut a large piece of pork from the ground and handed it to Sister Yulan.

"Sister-in-law, thank you so much for these past few days. Please take this."

Sister-in-law Yulan stared in shock at the enormous piece of meat, estimating it to weigh at least twenty or thirty pounds. She quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no, Maruko's mom, I don't want your things."

He Tiantian pretended to be a little angry, "What's wrong, sister-in-law? You know me. You're being so polite with me, it makes me feel awkward."
