"I can make a lot of money with these things outside. You don't have to worry about me. If I can exchange them with you, I will definitely not lose money." Li Jiuniang said, handing the red pillowcase to Tian Tian.
Tian Tian took the red pillowcase and smiled at Li Jiuniang, "Then I'll take the pillowcase and leave first. If you need more mountain products, come find me! This is a good opportunity for me to earn some money."
"Then you can pick up some more for me in the next few days, and I'll calculate the money for you then." Li Jiuniang was thinking about giving Tian Tian some more money. Tian Tian was so generous, and she couldn't let Tian Tian suffer too much loss. Every time Tian Tian got something for her, it was quite hard for her.
Tian Tian would not miss this opportunity to make money. "Then I will pick up some mountain products and send them to you."
After saying that, Tian Tian took the red pillowcase and turned away. After leaving the grove, Tian Tian put the red pillowcase back into the shell and planned to ride her bicycle to her aunt's house tomorrow to give the red pillowcase to her sister Wu Juan as a make-up.
When Tian Tian returned home in the evening, Old Mrs. Tian was not at home. She waited until it was almost time for them to have dinner, and then she came back with a gloomy face.
"What's wrong, Mom? Did someone make you unhappy?" Tian Lisong asked.
His mother had a high status in their team. After all, his father was also a PLA soldier, but later retired due to illness. In addition, his mother was also a tough person. When she was young, she was invincible in the village. It was rare to see his mother with such an embarrassed expression.
"Brother, what you said is true. Who in our team dares to make our mother unhappy? Aren't you just asking for trouble?" Chen Guihua said as she served the dishes to the table.
"Mom? Is it really about Tian Lili? Is what Tian Tian said true? Is her old lady really not good to Tian Lili?" Lin Meiyu also asked.
Old Mrs. Tian sighed after hearing this. "You can't say that I'm being mean to Tian Lili. Isn't it normal for an old woman to ask her daughter-in-law to do some work? She just asked her to do a little more work, her attitude was a little bad, and her voice was a little louder. We really can't find any fault with her."
"That's true!" Tian Tian said. Tian Lili's aunt was right. "What are the Second Uncle and Second Aunt going to do? Bring Sister Lili back to give birth. Will Sister Lili's grandmother let her come back?"
She felt that the old lady must not have a good temper, and it would probably be difficult to bring Sister Lili back. What if the old lady didn't let Tian Lili come back?
"That's okay. We can say that there are too few people at my in-laws' house, and they're worried that Tian Lili will have to be taken care of when she gives birth, which will delay their family's work points. So we'll bring Tian Lili back to stay for a few days, and she'll be taken care of by us during the confinement period." Old Mrs. Tian said.
"No matter what, she can't stay at his house for the confinement period. The confinement period affects the rest of her life, so she must be well taken care of. Lili will be more comfortable at her own home than at the old lady's."
Tian Tian didn't say anything. It was enough for the second uncle and the others to know what was going on.
After dinner, Chen Guihua and the others cleaned up the dishes and went back into the house.
"Grandma! I want to visit my grandma tomorrow, so I'll tell you first." Tian Tian said.
Old Mrs. Tian frowned when she heard this. "Why are you going to your grandma's place? The road is quite long. Aren't you tired after walking so far? You may not be able to come back at night. Isn't your aunt's child going to get married in a few days? Why don't you go there then?"
It takes a whole day to go back and forth to Tian Tian’s grandmother’s house. In the summer, the pace can be faster, but the distance between the two houses is not close, and she probably won’t be able to get back at night.
"Oh!" Lin Meiyu explained to Tian Tian, "She is helping me to send something to her sister Wu Juan. Mom, you know that Wu Juan's wedding was rushed and she didn't have time to prepare anything. I just wanted to send her something to make things look more festive. When Wu Juan gets married, she will look pretty shabby without anything."
Old Mrs. Tian knew that Lin Meishuang came to borrow money. It was a matter between the two sisters, and Lin Meiyu did not come to ask Old Mrs. Tian for money, so Old Mrs. Tian did not want to get involved.
It's just borrowing money. It's the money that the other person has saved in his room, and the one who borrowed it is his own elder sister. Tian Lisong, the husband, didn't say anything, and Old Mrs. Tian naturally wouldn't say anything and be annoying.
But when she heard that Lin Meiyu asked Tiantian to deliver something to her niece from her mother's side, Old Mrs. Tian frowned and seemed a little disapproving.
"Are you planning to borrow five dollars from your eldest sister, then give her something to show off, and then give her another gift when I get married? Even if she's your biological sister, isn't this a bit too much?"
"I'm not saying anything bad about you. Although our family's conditions are pretty good in the brigade, we can only have a few more meals than others. We don't have a lot of money, and we don't lend them money, give them gifts, or return things to them."
After saying this, Old Lady Tian asked again, "What do you want to give your little daughter?"
Lin Meiyu felt a little guilty after being scolded by Old Lady Tian. When she heard what Old Lady Tian said, she quickly said, "Oh! It was the old lady Tian..."
"It's a pair of red pillowcases that my mother asked my father to buy!" Tian Tian interrupted.
Lin Meiyu looked at Tian Tian in astonishment.
Tian Tian winked at her mother and told her to stop talking. Didn't you see that her grandma was a little unhappy?
Her brother had spent a lot of money to buy that scarf. If her grandmother knew that Lin Meiyu had given the scarf that her eldest grandson had brought back with great difficulty to give to her so easily, she would definitely feel bad.
When Old Mrs. Tian heard that it was a red pillowcase, she nodded and said nothing. She thought that the red pillowcase was bought by Lin Meiyu herself. After all, Lin Meiyu was now talking about arranging a dowry for Tian Tian.
"Since you've given me a pair of red pillowcases, there's no need to rush for another gift. A pair of pillowcases isn't cheap these days, let alone red ones. As for the five dollars you lent your eldest sister, tell her that we're not in a hurry and she doesn't need to pay it back in a hurry."
"My family is not very wealthy now. We have three children waiting to go to school. The tuition fee is 20 yuan a year, not to mention other miscellaneous expenses."
"Although Tian Yuan can earn money and work now, he is old enough to find a wife, so we still have to buy him everything he needs. I am not the kind of old woman who treats her daughter-in-law harshly. If my family has the conditions, let alone lending your eldest sister five dollars, I won't say anything if you lend her fifty dollars, but don't we have the conditions?"
