Wang Shuping smiled, but she wasn't as enthusiastic as before!
"Oh, then please stay for lunch," Wang Shuping said politely. If she had a good relationship with He Tiantian, she would have definitely said, "You must stay for lunch."
If Liu Lingli hadn't seen He Tiantian's parents, she might have stayed for dinner, but not now. Liu Lingli was worried that her jealousy would show.
"No, I have something to do, I'll go back first, Aunt Wang," Liu Lingli said. "Tian Tian, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."
He Tiantian had no choice but to follow Liu Lingli to the door and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"It's not good to talk about that, so I hope you can keep it a secret for me," Liu Lingli said. "We're from the same hometown, and I can only tell you, not anyone else, otherwise I'll suffocate."
He Tiantian nodded and said, "I will keep it a secret for you and won't tell anyone else. You made the decision yourself, and I hope you won't regret it later."
"I know," Liu Lingli said, turning and leaving.
Two streams of tears rolled down her face!
Her life is so miserable!
It's even more bitter than eating bitter melon!
Throughout the journey, Liu Lingli was unable to calm down. Upon entering Hujia Village, she saw Hu Damao searching for her everywhere, a cold smile playing on his lips.
She's already escaped the death penalty, so what's this little difficulty?
If it weren't for her impending pregnancy, she wouldn't have hastily chosen a good-for-nothing like Hu Damao. However, Hu Damao's father was an honest and healthy man who would probably live for a few more years. With the old man around, Hu Damao wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
As for her family home in Nanshi, she gave up completely after her mother told her to write a letter telling her not to go back for the New Year.
In her mother's heart, she was always secondary.
To help her brother avoid being sent to the countryside, she was made an educated youth.
So far from home, so hard!
She did so much, only to be met with indifference and insatiable greed from her family. From now on, she will live for herself!
After Liu Lingli left, Wang Shuping was worried and asked He Tiantian, "What did she say to you? That girl has always been a clever girl, you can't let her fool you."
In the past, Wang Shuping would never have instilled such ideas in her daughter, but now, people's hearts are unpredictable, and she has to be careful.
As the saying goes, one should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others.
As a mother, she would rather her daughter become shrewd than a foolish girl who could be easily fooled.
“She’s getting married soon, the day after tomorrow, and she’s invited me to her wedding banquet,” He Tiantian said. “There’s nothing else going on, so don’t overthink it.”
He Tiantian didn't want to tell her parents those things because she didn't want them to worry. Besides, she learned those things by reading other people's memories through the Snake King, and she couldn't explain them to her mother, so she simply didn't tell them.
"Married?" Wang Shuping asked in surprise. "Isn't she planning to go back to the city?"
"Maybe," He Tiantian said. "Anyway, I'm not close to her, we're just acquaintances. It's enough that I know, it's her own choice, and it has nothing to do with us."
“That’s right. That girl’s eyes were off; they seemed a bit fake. We should keep our distance from her in the future; it won’t hurt,” Wang Shuping said, teaching her daughter to distinguish between good and bad people!
"I understand," He Tiantian replied. "Where's my dad?"
"Your dad went to Secretary Qi's house for drinks," Wang Shuping said. "What did he have for lunch?"
“There’s braised salted fish,” He Tiantian replied. “I’ll call Grandma to eat.”
Grandma Qi San strolled out from outside and said, "I just ran into your father. He went to Dazhu's house for a drink. We made some salted fish. Sweetie, fill a bowl and take it to your father."
"Okay!" He Tiantian happily agreed, filled a bowl, and delivered it over.
Secretary Qi's family had two meat dishes and several vegetable dishes, plus the salted fish that He Tiantian brought, making the meal even more sumptuous.
He Jingyu felt very proud when he saw his daughter was well-behaved and praised by others.
Liu Lingli got married and even came to tell He Tiantian in person, so He Tiantian had no choice but to go.
"Mom, Liu Lingli is getting married. Should I give her a gift or money?" With her mother by her side, He Tiantian couldn't help but ask her mother what to do in this situation!
Wang Shuping thought for a moment and said, "Hujia Village and Qijia Village are both very remote, and it's not easy for them to go out. You should send something to Liu Lingli. She's a young woman and doesn't have any family to prepare a dowry for her. Whatever you send will be of great use to her."
He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give her a piece of fabric, the blue one. The supply and marketing cooperative was clearing out a batch of last year's fabric a while ago, so it was relatively cheap, but the pink floral pattern is quite pretty and festive!"
"Bring it here so I can take a look," Wang Shuping said. Marriage is a major event in a person's life, and gifts should not be flawed.
He Tiantian went into the box, took out the pink floral polyester fabric, and said, "This is the piece of cloth!"
Wang Shuping turned it over and over, carefully inspecting it, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's new, no problem. You can deliver this piece of cloth. By the way, are you going alone?"
“Yes, if Xiaoyan were here before, she could keep me company. Now that Xiaoyan has gone to the performing arts troupe, I have to go alone,” He Tiantian said. “It’s okay, it’s very close, and I can go by myself.”
With the Snake King by her side, He Tiantian fears no one.
Wang Shuping thought for a moment, looked at her daughter's increasingly fair face, bright eyes, and rosy lips, and was still worried.
“No, wait until the day after tomorrow and have your dad, or me, go with you,” Wang Shuping said. “Once we’ve delivered the things, you won’t need to eat there.”
"No need, I can manage." He Tiantian looked embarrassed; her parents still treated her like a helpless little girl.
Wang Shuping insisted that her daughter was so beautiful, and many people outside would covet her, so there couldn't be any mishaps.
If a boy is bullied, at most he'll get beaten up.
But for girls, it can have a lifelong impact.
Huo Yingjie is a good young man, and the Huo family is a prominent and wealthy family. If something happens to their daughter, even if Huo Yingjie doesn't care, the Huo family will not accept it.
"Alright then." Seeing her mother's worry, He Tiantian readily agreed, "I'll just say I have a lot of work to do this afternoon and won't have time to eat there."
“That’s settled then,” Wang Shuping said. “Tiantian, you’re all grown up now, and a girl’s reputation is really important. From now on, you have to tell your mother before you go anywhere. If we have time, we’ll go with you; if we don’t, we’ll make time for you. Your dad and I only have you, and we’re extremely worried about you.”
Hearing her mother say this, He Tiantian felt a little guilty. She had actually thought her mother was nagging, forgetting that it all stemmed from her mother's love! (To be continued.)
