As night fell, what should have been a peaceful night turned into an argument at Wang Laidi's home.

"Dad, are we just going to let my second sister-in-law marry that Feng Er like that?" Song Wu asked.

“Yes, Dad, if we let her marry into that family, who will earn the work points? She can earn several hundred work points a month,” Sister-in-law Song added.

"What else can we do if she doesn't marry him? The second son has been dead for many years. Do you think we can force her into our family again?" Old Man Song said, puffing on his pipe.

"It's all her fault for being so shameless, doing something like this and making our family the laughingstock of the whole village," Sister-in-law Song said fiercely.

“I’ve always said she was a slut. She seduced my second son and made him leave us. After we got married a few years ago, she killed him.”

"Since that shameful woman has done such a disgraceful thing, we'll kick her out tomorrow. We can't afford to lose face like this," Grandma Wang Laidi cursed at her room door.

When Sister-in-law Song heard her parents-in-law say this, she was a little reluctant, because she couldn't bear to part with the several hundred work points that Wang Laidi earned each month.

The work points she earned were enough to support her family of four.

"You don't need to say anything more. Tell her to pack her things and go to Feng Er's place tomorrow."

"From now on, she will no longer be our daughter-in-law. If we see her again, we'll treat her like a stranger," Old Man Song said.

Brother Song and the others had no choice but to reluctantly obey their father's words. Wang Laidi, who was hiding in the room, finally felt at ease when she heard them say that.

Hmph, trying to manipulate her? No way. Tomorrow she's going to live a good life with Brother Feng, and with their hardworking hands, she's sure things will be better than they are now.

Wang Laidi didn't even eat; she just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

At 11 p.m., Su Tian was about to go out again. She put a watermelon, some tangerines, and two cantaloupes in her basket.

When she arrived at the cowshed, the old man's room was still lit.

"Grandpa, please open the door." Su Tian knocked on the door.

"Girl, you're here again."

"Yes, I miss you all. Is Grandma asleep again?" Su Tian asked softly.

"Yes, she usually goes to bed around eight o'clock. Didn't you notice that the first few times? It was only the time I was sick that you saw her that late."

"Grandpa, your foot is completely healed," Su Tian said happily.

"Of course! It's been good for a long time now. Recently, I feel like my body is getting better and better, and I don't feel out of breath when I'm working."

Even my kneecap, which I had been shot in before, no longer hurts when the weather gets cold.

"Look, aren't I feeling better and better?" Chen Tingjing said happily.

"Grandpa, it's good that you're healthy. I'll get you some fruit. I picked out a small watermelon; it'll be enough for the two of you to finish in a day without spoiling overnight," Su Tian said as she took out some fruit and placed it in the corner.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Put your things down and go back to sleep. Luckily you're here, my husband and I feel like we have something to live for."

"My wife and I don't have any children. I've already treated you like my granddaughter. You can't disown your old man like this." Chen Tingjing said to Su Tian expectantly.

"Alright, alright, granddaughter it is. I'll call you Grandpa Chen. You'll be my grandpa from now on, and I'll take care of you in your old age."

Su Tian sweetly coaxed Chen Tingjing, making him so excited that he almost couldn't sleep.

"Grandpa, I'll be going now. Lock the door and have sweet dreams tonight. I'll come see you again when I have time."

Having a granddaughter at home is so wonderful. Chen Tingjing locked the door, lay down on the bed, and immediately drifted off to sleep with a smile on his face.

After Su Tian finished speaking, she watched as Grandpa Chen closed the door, then turned around and went to check on the kitchen.

She opened the water vat again, poured in several bowls of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage, and then put the lid back on.

He then took out ten catties of rice, flour, noodles, and more than twenty eggs from his storage space and carefully placed them next to the woodpile. He also filled the stove with oil and soy sauce.

In this way, if Grandpa Chen gets up early and finds things in the kitchen, he will take them and hide them, eating them slowly.

After doing all this, Su Tian returned to the educated youth settlement, lay down on the bed, and immediately fell asleep.

The next morning, the sky was clear; it was a sunny weekend.

Chen Tingjing got up at five or six o'clock. When he got up and went into the kitchen, he found something in the corner of the woodpile.

She unconsciously wiped away her tears with her hand. This child is so thoughtful.

Su Jianjun is such a lucky guy, having such a wonderful daughter. And now, she's his granddaughter too. He chuckled and started cooking.

The village remained quiet, as everyone was taking a day off and didn't have to work. So, those who had nothing to do stayed home and slept in.

All good things happen, as the saying goes, "a happy event makes one feel refreshed," which perfectly describes He Hua and Chen Gang.

In order to get up early to drive the oxcart to town to collect the money, the two of them went to bed early.

"Brother Chen Gang, let's go to town and then go to the state-run restaurant for braised pork. It's been so long since we've had it."

"Okay, let's go. I haven't eaten in a long time either." Chen Gang said, swallowing hard.

The two of them got into the oxcart, but none of the women on the cart spoke to them, and He Hua didn't bother chatting with these rural women either.

Because those aunties looked down on them, He Hua felt that talking to them would lower their status as city people.

Everyone sat quietly in the oxcart, and arrived an hour later.

"Let's go get the money first." After getting off the oxcart, Chen Gang pulled He Hua to the post office to get the money.

"Brother Chen Gang, do you still have tickets? It seems we don't have any tickets, and we can't buy anything without tickets," He Hua said distressedly as she got off the bus.
