Jiang Gannian's scolding made the three people who had just entered the room tremble.

Jiang Hongmei looked up at her grandfather who was sitting above her, her legs trembling, and she held on to her mother's arm without daring to let go.

Du Yulan complained:

"Dad, it was Tiantian who saw Jiuzhang was good-looking and snatched him away. Why did you make Hongmei kneel down?"

This was the unanimous statement that the mother and daughter had thought of yesterday.

After all, Cha Jiuzhang is really too convincing in appearance, so it is normal for him to attract young girls to take immoral risks.

"Shut up."

"Do you think I have the brain of Jiang Jianhua, who is confused and ready to be fooled by you?"

Jiang Jianhua expressed his grievance, why was he involved again, he was really innocent.

Jiang Gannian disliked the evil thoughts of his third daughter-in-law the most.

"You two know exactly what happened yesterday. If you continue to make trouble, I will tear off your last fig leaf."

Du Yulan was shocked and quickly lowered her head and shut up.

Jiang Gannian yelled at Jiang Hongmei again, "Kneel down."

This time, Jiang Hongmei didn't dare to disobey. She let go of her mother's arm and knelt down aggrievedly.

"Since you despise the Cha family, I don't want to force you to do anything. You should kneel here for two full hours. From now on, you and Jiu Zhang will have nothing to do with each other. He will only be your brother-in-law."

"But don't think that this matter can be let go so easily. When we get back, you'll see how I deal with you."

Jiang Gannian raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Jianhua and his wife.

"Jianhua, I have exchanged the horoscopes of the new couple with your uncle Cha. Chengye will take us to the Cha family ancestral temple later to formally enroll Tiantian in the Cha family tree."

"Du Yulan, go and count all the dowry that our Jiang family brought over, plus the betrothal gifts that the Cha family gave us before, and hand them all over to Tiantian when we return from the ancestral temple."

When Du Yulan heard this, she became anxious. All in all, this was a considerable sum of money, and she had never thought of handing it over before.

She looked up anxiously to argue, but met Jiang Gannian's sharp eyes, as if he had seen through her completely.

She was so scared that her lips trembled slightly, and she could only respond with "yes".

Jiang Hongmei knelt on the ground, looking at Jiang Tiantian standing behind Grandpa Cha, giving her a smug smile, and she hated him to death in her heart.

Those things belong to her, why should she give them to this bitch?

Cha Jiuzhang felt amused when he saw Jiang Tiantian's smug expression. Did this little girl know that once she was included in the Cha family tree, she would really be tied to him for the rest of her life?

——

The ancestral temple of the tea family.

Jiang Tiantian saw the thick genealogy of the Cha family for the first time.

Every time I turn a page of yellowed paper, it is as if I see a heavy history and the joys and sorrows of several generations of clansmen, which are gently passed by and buried in the dust of time, leaving only occasional remembrances by future generations.

Under the joint witness of several respected elders in the village, Jiang Tiantian's name and birth date were officially recorded next to Cha Jiuzhang's name.

Looking at the two names side by side, Jiang Tiantian suddenly felt a sense of fate in her heart.

She looked up at Cha Jiuzhang thoughtfully and saw that he was also staring at her seriously.

Under the guidance of her elders, Jiang Tiantian kowtowed and paid homage to the ancestors of the Cha family, and then officially changed her way of addressing Cha father and Cha mother as dad and mom.

After a set of tedious procedures were completed and all matters between the two families were handled and handed over, Jiang Gannian no longer wanted to keep Jiang Hongmei and her daughter, to cause trouble for the Cha family or to give the villagers more gossip.

After the two families gathered together for a meal, Jiang Gannian repeatedly declined the Cha family's invitation to stay and was about to leave with the third family's people.

They will rush to the county town to stay tonight and then set out for the provincial capital from the county town tomorrow morning.

In order to personally send the bride off, Jiang Gannian made a rare use of public property for personal gain and drove out the bus assigned to him, and the father and son took turns driving it.

Cha Jizu prepared a lot of dried goods and wild goods from the mountains, as well as some health-preserving teas he usually made, and almost filled the trunk of the car.

Jiang Tiantian stood quietly aside, without any sadness at all for parting with her loved ones.

Jiang Gannian looked at her, sighed, and finally patted Cha Jiuzhang's shoulder earnestly.

"Jiu Zhang, I'll leave Tiantian to you. You two should live a good life from now on. When you have time, take her back to see Grandpa."

"Grandpa Jiang, don't worry, I will. Have a safe trip!"

Afterwards, Jiang Gannian got into the car and left with a heavy heart.

After leaving the village, Du Yulan looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed,

"It's such a shame about this place. It's so beautiful and so remote."

Jiang Gannian looked back at his daughter-in-law with disdain and snorted.

"You ignorant fool, you have long hair but little knowledge. Have you ever seen such a remote mountain village where a driveway can be built all the way to the doorstep?"

Du Yulan was stunned. It was true.

"Such a complicated mountain road, with seemingly only one small village inside, why did the government spend so much money to repair it?"

Jiang Gannian smiled strangely and replied seriously,

"You are wrong. This road was not built by the government. It was built by Chajia Village itself with its own money."

"ah?"

The other three people in the car, even Jiang Jianhua who was driving, turned their heads to look at him.

"Dad, I've never heard you say before that their village is so awesome."

Jiang Gannian sighed. Even he had not expected this trip.

Thinking back to the time when they were walking together in the morning, Cha Jizu confidently looked forward to the future of Chajia Village. The foundation of the Chajia Village seemed to be deeper than he had imagined.

Then I thought of my little granddaughter who was still radiant and standing among the good-looking people in the Cha family. She exuded a confident temperament, as if her future was in her hands.

That was what he and his wife had hoped Jiang Tiantian would grow up to be.

Everything she did today made him look at her with new eyes. Perhaps this granddaughter was the one with the sharpest vision in the third brother's family.

He glanced at the family of three in the car and warned:

"Just keep doing what you want. Once you've used up the little affection you have left with Tiantian, you'll regret it in the future."

Jiang Jianhua felt wronged.

I spend most of the year in the research institute, and he can't take care of things at home. Tiantian is not close to me. Can I blame him?

Du Yulan and Jiang Hongmei in the back seat looked at each other, and suddenly felt a little uncertain. Could it be that they really had made a mistake this time?

Jiang Hongmei stared at the scenery outside the window, rubbing her swollen knees. Thinking of Cha Jiuzhang's outstanding appearance, a trace of regret emerged in her heart again.

That cheap girl Jiang Tiantian is really lucky.

She thought bitterly that after returning home, she must find a man who is better than Cha Jiuzhang in every way.

Jiang Tiantian was so mad.
