Several laborers in the Tian family stopped working after participating in collective labor for less than a week, and did not even finish harvesting the last crop of rice.

It is a turbulent time and the Tian family has had too many troubles recently.

Tian Zhiyuan's future mother-in-law sent a message saying that his fiancée had been feeling unwell recently and asked Tian Zhiyuan to go visit her as soon as possible. She also reminded him to bring money with him and to accompany her to the clinic to get some medicine.

Wang Shuifeng gave Tian Zhiyuan five dollars with a painful heart, and she disliked her fourth daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family even more.

Tian Yalan also said that she was sick and could not go to work, so Wang Shuifeng had to take care of her at home.

It was impossible for Tian Baoshan to go to work alone. Who doesn't have a wife and children to accompany? Tian Xianglan could no longer live in the Meng family courtyard, and she couldn't go back to her husband's house, so she could only stay at her parents' home. When her father-in-law saw that her wound had healed and she was discharged from the hospital, he sent her four granddaughters over as well, and the five of them, mother and daughter, lived in the Tian family's utility room.

The current Tian family is no longer the same as before. In the past, Tian Zhigao would send money back every month, and there was a capable Meng Taohua who took care of the housework. Tian Xianglan and Liang Tiezhu often brought their daughters back to their parents' home for a meal and a drink, and they didn't care.

The Tian family is now in a state of decline, and everyone is in a bad mood. They don't have enough food and drink for themselves, and they can't stand people taking up space and eating for free. Even their mother Wang Shuifeng is not in a good mood. Tian Xianglan has to help with cooking, housework, and serving Tian Agui these days, but she is still blamed and despised by her brothers and sisters. She feels aggrieved and resentful in her heart, but she can only try her best to endure it for the sake of her four children. However, she meets Meng Taohua, who beats and kicks her, and she can't fight back. She also hears her say that a woman is having an affair with her husband Liang Tiezhu.

Tian Xianglan gritted her teeth: No wonder, Liang Tiezhu pushed me down and hit my head, and he just apologized and said a few nice words, but he didn't stay with me in the clinic to serve me. Instead, he left, saying that he was going to borrow money from relatives and friends and was going to work in the factory, and he never came back!

He even ignored his children, leaving them with his cowardly father and vicious stepmother. The children didn't have enough to eat or sleep well, had to work every day, and were beaten and scolded. But he himself was free and easy, going shopping with the bitch and eating and drinking well!

Tian Xianglan's hatred touched off all the pent-up resentment in her heart, and she exploded. For several days in a row, she searched the whole village for Zhou Cuilian. She actually caught Zhou Cuilian several times, cursed her and beat her violently, tearing her clothes, pulling her hair, scratching her face and pinching her tender flesh. Zhou Cuilian was beaten several times, and each time she became like a pig's head. Her parents were timid and afraid of trouble, and after hearing Tian Xianglan's ugly scolding, they felt embarrassed and refused to go near to see, let alone stand up for their daughter. Zhou Cuilian could not bear the beating, so she had to run to Zhou Cuiling's house and beg Aunt Yang for help.

Aunt Yang felt soft-hearted and took her to the brigade headquarters to find the women's director. The women's director asked her: Is it true that Tian Xianglan accused her of having an affair with Liang Tiezhu?

Zhou Cuiling shook her head and denied it, crying and saying that she was a virgin, how could she do such a thing? She also said that she was so injured that her head was buzzing, and she wanted to go to the county hospital for a checkup and ask the brigade to issue a certificate. The women's director thought that this was a good idea. After the hospital checked the injury, there would be evidence, and when she asked Tian Xianglan for compensation, she would not be able to deny it. So she issued a certificate, gave it to Bao Shunfeng for stamping, and then gave it to Zhou Cuilian.

Zhou Cuilian got the certificate in the morning and left Linshui Village with her bag in her arms at noon, as if she was escaping for her life.

Two days later, Shi Datou came to Linshui Village carrying half a bag of taro and sweet potatoes and two pheasants. Not long after he entered the Tian family's house, there was a clamor in the yard. Shi Datou was quickly kicked out, but he refused to leave. He banged on the door and cried and shouted. Wang Shuifeng couldn't stand it anymore. She was afraid of being heard, so she had to open the door and pull him in. The neighbors, the elderly and children, had already gathered around. Everyone who should know knew, so another piece of news spread in the village -

In the literacy class at night, Meng Tao heard several village wives gossiping about this matter and was surprised: Tian Yalan and Shi Datou got pregnant at the first try, while in the novel, Meng Taohua had been married to Shi Datou for eleven years and had no children at all, which was quite strange.

Shi Datou refused to leave the Tian family, and kept an eye on his aunt and Tian Yalan, refusing to let them kill his child. Of course, he could not defeat Wang Shuifeng and Tian Yalan alone, as he had Tian Xianglan to help him. Moreover, although Tian Agui was paralyzed and Tian Zhiyuan was not at home in the courtyard, there were still Tian Baoshan and two half-grown boys. It would have been easy to drive Shi Datou out, but Shi Datou had his own way.

Shi Datou had a lame leg and could not do heavy work, so he usually made bamboo products and delivered goods to the supply and marketing cooperative regularly. He saved some money and gave ten yuan to Tian Baoshan, five yuan each to Tian Laoliu, Tian Laoqi and Tian Xianglan, and thirty yuan to Wang Shuifeng. He wanted to take things from others and he felt that no one would make things difficult for him.

Shi Datou also secretly went to find a lazy guy in Linshui Village and gave him two yuan for his service. The guy then went to the mountains for him and sent a message to his parents and brothers. The next day, the Shi family came to discuss the marriage of Shi Datou and Tian Yalan with Wang Shuifeng.

Shi Datou took out the money he had saved for many years, which was about 200 yuan, enough for the betrothal gift and to hold a wedding. At this time, Tian Zhiyuan came back and said that his fiancée was found to be pregnant at the health center, and they wanted to hold a wedding as soon as possible to bring her home. Wang Baotian also hoped that Wang Shuifeng would accept Shi Datou's betrothal gift. His wife had not been able to get enough nutrition after her miscarriage, and her health had deteriorated. His two daughters were also skinny. Only with money could they eat meat every two or three days and live the same life as before.

Wang Shuifeng held the two hundred yuan given by Shi Datou, and after thinking about it, she was actually tempted.

Tian Yalan cried and made a fuss, trying to commit suicide, and was determined not to marry Shi Datou.

At the end of November, after the grain was distributed, several tables of wedding banquets were set up in the Tian family's yard. It was said that Tian Zhiyuan was getting married. The villagers did see Tian Zhiyuan carrying his bride Du Meiqiu back on a bicycle. Behind them were two ox carts carrying the bride's relatives, as well as two colorful quilts, several enamel basins, iron buckets, thermoses and other things.

But not long after, another group of people came on the village road. Shi Datou was walking in the lead, wearing a rare blue khaki jacket that was 70% new, and a pair of new cloth shoes. He limped but had a smile on his face. Behind him were more than 20 people, his parents and relatives. Two young men were carrying two loads. One basket was filled with someone unknown, but it was heavy. On it were several pieces of new cloth, women's headscarves, and a pair of leather shoes neatly stacked. The other basket was even more tempting. It was steamed buns made of white flour or glutinous rice. Each piece was as big as a palm, snow-white and round, thick and soft. It looked delicious, and filled two bamboo baskets!

Someone on the roadside greeted Shi Datou: "Datou, are you going to a wedding?"

Shi Datou answered happily: "No, I want to marry a wife, marry Yalan, I am getting married today!"

The onlookers watched them walk towards the Tian family in surprise and began to gossip: What kind of wedding is this Tian family holding? Marrying a daughter-in-law and marrying a daughter on the same day? This is the first time I have seen this in my life. It is really an eye-opener! 　Good morning, fairies!
