When she first started riding the bike, she was not used to it at all. The bike was very high. Although Tian Tian could ride it due to her height, her feet could not reach the ground. Also, the big bar in front was too high. Every time she wanted to stop the bike, Tian Tian had to kick down from behind. She didn't know how to get off the bike that way, and she fell several times before she became proficient in it.
Now that Tian Tian has grown a little taller, her feet can touch the ground when parking, so she doesn't have to sweep back and forth.
Tian Tian rode her bicycle to her grandmother's house. The journey was supposed to take more than four hours, but she rode for two and a half hours. It was September at the time, and the sun was very strong. Tian Tian's back was all wet.
When she arrived at her grandmother's brigade, Tian Tian didn't know where her aunt lived, so she went to her grandmother's house first to ask for directions.
At this time, Grandma Lin was stringing cowpeas and preparing to dry them. When she saw Tian Tian, she was stunned for a moment, "Why are you here?"
"Grandma, I came here to see you and give something to Sister Wu Juan," said Tian Tian.
Grandma Lin didn't know what she was thinking about, and her face looked a little bad. "What are you going to give your sister Wu Juan? Wu Juan is the first one among you sisters to get married, so your mother, as your aunt, should at least show some appreciation, right? Besides, your eldest aunt's family is not well off, and your mother, as the elder sister, should at least lend a hand."
Tian Tian also heard the hidden meaning of Grandma Lin's words, and felt a little reluctant.
As soon as she heard what Grandma Lin said, she knew that Grandma Lin must know that her aunt had borrowed money from her mother, and might even know how much money her mother had borrowed from her aunt.
"My aunt is my mom's biological sister and has taken care of my mom since she was a child. If my mom had the ability, she would definitely not help my aunt."
"My eldest brother is about to reach the age to get married, and my grandmother has been busy looking for a partner for him. Plus, there are two younger brothers in school, and the money on hand is tight. And as you know, grandma, my mother has been sensible since she was young, and my grandmother is the head of the family, so my mother has no say and can't come up with much money." Tian Tian said.
Grandma Lin's face became even gloomier. "Don't think I don't know that he has a lot of money. Half of your father's salary has been in your mother's hands over the years. Your aunt's family is in trouble. Why can't your mother, as a younger sister, help? When your mother was young, it was your aunt who raised her. Now that your mother is able to help your aunt, what's wrong with that? I didn't ask your mother to do anything. Just lend your aunt some money so that they can get the marriage done smoothly."
Tian Tian was very angry when she heard Grandma Lin's words that she didn't want anything. In the past two years, during the Chinese New Year, her grandma treated them with disdain. If there was any delicious food, she would give it to her cousins, but would skip over Tian Tian and Tian Zhuo, or she would give the least and would not even do them a favor.
Although Tian Tian was not greedy for Grandma Lin's food, Grandma Lin's way of doing things was so irritating. Even if you said a few nice words to her, Tian Tian would not be so annoyed with Grandma Lin, but Grandma Lin still looked down on you.
If it weren't for the fact that they only saw each other once a year and just stayed here for one night, Tian Tian would not have wanted to argue with her and would have made a scene long ago.
But after hearing what Grandma Lin said, Tian Tian really couldn't bear it anymore.
"Grandma, I wonder how much money you gave my aunt for my cousin's wedding this time? Although our family conditions are not good, my mother also lent my aunt 5 yuan, which is not a small amount of money. Thinking that Sister Wu Juan is getting married again, it will only happen once in a lifetime. My aunt's family conditions are difficult and she may not be able to buy too much. She also came to me to give her a red pillowcase. This red pillowcase is not cheap. My family paid more than ten yuan for the two together. This is all the money I earn."
"Grandma, what you said just now, the way you look down on my mom, must be because you spend more than my mom. I just wonder if it can help broaden the horizons of an ignorant granddaughter like me?" Tian Tian said sarcastically.
Grandma Lin was furious after hearing this. "How dare you talk to me like that? I'm your grandma! Is this how your family taught you?!"
"Hmph!" Tian Tian snorted coldly, "Just shut up! Do you still think of me as your grandma? Did you feed me a bite of food when I was little? Who were you paying attention to during the New Year? What are my brother and I in your eyes? You look down on my family, and you still want to benefit from it. How can you be so naive?"
"Since grandma doesn't know where my aunt lives, I'll leave first. There are so many living people in the village anyway, I can ask someone and find out." Tian Tian said.
She had no feelings for this grandma in the first place, and the reason she didn't argue with her before was entirely because she was her mother's mother and had nothing to do with her personally.
Although others may think that Tian Tian is a little cold-blooded, feelings are mutual. If you are good to me, I will be good to you. If you are disrespectful to your elders, I will ignore you.
When Grandma Lin heard what Tian Tian said, she became even angrier. Wasn't it all about her death? Grandma Lin was so angry that her nose was crooked.
She was just about to say something to Tian Tian, but Tian Tian snorted at her, turned around and rode away on her bike.
Just as she was about to go out and meet an auntie, Tian Tian immediately got off her bike and pushed it forward, and asked sweetly, "Auntie! Do you know how to get to Wu's house?"
The aunt glanced at Grandma Lin, who was standing in the yard with a gloomy face, and then looked at Tian Tian, with a gossipy gleam in her eyes, "Aren't you Meiyu's daughter? What are you doing here to see your aunt? Why don't you ask your grandma?"
"Aunt has really good taste. She recognized her at a glance. She must have watched my mother grow up since she was a child." Tian Tian said with a smile on her face.
"Yes! Your mother is really the one I have watched grow up. Let me tell you! Your eyes and mouth are exactly like your mother's. Let me tell you, your mother might have worked as a child. She went to collect grass for pigs! She collected more than my son. The work points she earned in a year were enough to feed her. But your mother still went hungry every day. I don't know! Who got all the work points your mother earned." When the aunt said the last few words, she deliberately raised her voice, staring at Grandma Lin in the yard, and speaking in a sarcastic tone.
Tian Tian didn't expect that the person she casually grabbed was actually an enemy of her grandmother, and from what this aunt said, she seemed to take good care of her mother.
