As Gu Rong passed by Gu Jiazhen, she couldn't help but glance at the girl holding her hand a few more times.

When the other person met Gu Rong's gaze, they nodded and smiled gracefully, seemingly unaware of the conflict between Gu Rong and Gu Jiazhen.

Gu Rong vaguely remembered this girl; she was in the same batch as them yesterday, and her name was Cheng Yao.

If someone can still maintain a good relationship with Gu Jiazhen after hearing all the reasons, they are either a true saint or a hypocrite.

As she passed by Gu Jiazhen, she didn't bare her teeth at her and obediently followed Cheng Yao.

Gu Rong raised an eyebrow and gave Cheng Yao a thumbs up.

She is the perfect choice for the role of Pan Hong in the 1980s.

There was nowhere else to visit in the commune, so the two left the supply and marketing cooperative and went home.

The two discussed it on the way. They knew they had to go to work tomorrow, and they definitely couldn't take a day off on the first day.

As for Gu Xing and Han Xinyi's marriage, it wasn't appropriate to delay, so they planned to go to the Han family's house in the afternoon.

After arriving home, Gu Xing delivered the bicycle and then went to the Han family's house.

The gate to the Han family's courtyard was wide open, and Han Xinyi was washing vegetables in the yard, seemingly preparing to cook.

Gu Xing knocked on the courtyard gate. "Comrade Han, are your parents and grandmother at home?"

Thinking that Gu Xing was probably here to discuss marriage, Han Xinyi looked up and met Gu Xing's gaze, her face unconsciously turning red.

She stood up and wiped her hands: "They're at home. Come in and sit for a while, I'll go call them."

"Bring this up too," Gu Xing said, handing the things he had prepared to Han Xinyi.

It contained newly bought cookies and candies, as well as dried fruit and dried meat that Gu Rong brought from Beijing.

Han Xinyi took the things, but instead of calling her grandmother, she went to find her parents first.

In this family, she knows perfectly well who is genuinely kind to her and who is just trying to take advantage of her.

The parents' bedroom door was wide open, and the two were sitting on the bed, one sewing clothes and the other helping to organize the threads.

The dress I made was for her wedding.

Originally, given her age of 16, her parents planned to keep her for a few more years.

But things didn't go as planned; who could have imagined that this would happen, and everything had to be brought forward.

The family's finances were entirely controlled by the grandparents. Although the parents kept some for themselves, it wasn't enough to buy clothes or fabric.

As for Gu Xing, he has been on his own all these years, and all the money he saved has been used to build a house, so he has no money left.

We could only use her mother's wedding clothes from back then, altered them a bit, so that she wouldn't look too shabby.

When Sun Yihua saw her daughter come in, she quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand: "Is dinner ready? Husband, come and eat."

"I wasn't ready yet, Gu Xing is here, she's calling you and Grandma, she should... she should..." As she spoke, Han Xinyi's face grew redder and redder.

"You're here, look at you, so full of yourself," Sun Yihua took the things from her daughter's hands and locked them directly into her own small cabinet.

Then he took Han Xinyi's hand and went out. As soon as they came out, they saw Gu Xing sitting in the yard.

They all knew that Gu Xing's younger sister must be quite busy today, but they didn't expect her to still have time to come.

In their little family, everything was decided by Sun Yihua. She sat down opposite Gu Xing and asked, "Xiao Xing, what brings you here?"

"Hello, Auntie," Gu Xing stood up to greet her, then sat down at Sun Yihua's gesture. "I wonder if you're available this afternoon? My sister and I have come to formally discuss my marriage to Comrade Han and set a date."

It was clearly Cheng Yanru's fault, but her daughter was the one suffering the blame.

As long as the marriage is not settled, her daughter cannot leave the house and will be gossiped about behind her back.

The incident happened suddenly. Gu Xing only said she agreed to the marriage, but did not set a specific time, so she was still somewhat uneasy.

Now that Gu Xing has taken the initiative to come over, and even brought his younger sister along, it can be seen that he values ​​Xin Yi: "Okay, okay, I'll make time."

"We'll come over this afternoon. My sister is still waiting for news at home, so I'll head back first," Gu Xing said, standing up to say goodbye to the three of them.

Not long after Gu Xing left, a commotion broke out in the Han family's courtyard.

It turned out that Gu Xing was chatting with Sun Yihua in the yard when Han Yanru saw him.

With a quick glance, he knew why he had come, and hurriedly went to the backyard to call his grandmother.

However, Liu Daxue had difficulty walking and walked slowly. By the time the three of them reached the front yard, Gu Xing had already left.

When Liu Daxue saw that everyone was gone, she angrily banged her cane on the ground: "Are you trying to drive me crazy? Such an important event as a wedding, you didn't even invite me to discuss it, do you even respect your mother?"

Sun Yihua has seen everything about the Han family over the years.

She thought that the Han family was large and that life wouldn't be difficult after marrying into it, and that Han Zhenghu was a good man. But after marrying into the family, she discovered that the family favored the eldest son and the youngest son.

Han Zhenghu, the second son in the middle, is the lifeblood of the family, even to the point of being blindly filial.

But since she had already married into the family, she endured whatever hardship came her way.

But later she got pregnant, and not only did she have to work, but she also had to do laundry and cook, while the eldest and third sons' wives only needed to rest when they were pregnant. She couldn't take it anymore.

She immediately started making a scene and demanded a divorce. Her family knew about her situation and supported her, saying that they could raise the child and took her home immediately.

Later, it was Han Zhenghu again who begged her and her family, kneeling and pleading with them. Gradually, her heart softened, and she went back.

From then on, she and Han Zhenghu only earned enough for their own food and drink, and did only their own laundry and cooking, without doing anything extra.

If her mother-in-law, Liu Daxue, makes things difficult for her, she'll go crazy; she'd rather everyone die together.

At first, Han Zhenghu cooperated with her, but he still cared about his parents to some extent. He did a lot of things behind her back, but when they weren't in front of her, she would turn a blind eye.

What truly changed him was when she gave birth to her youngest daughter. She was bleeding heavily and needed to go to the hospital, but her mother-in-law refused to take her, citing a lack of money.
