"Mom, didn't you see? Just now, he thought my sister was my brother's girlfriend. He was so sarcastic, saying that he would tell him when to set a date so he could prepare a gift."
That made my brother so angry that he beat him up again.
"Your brother knows about this too? What's his opinion?"
Tang Sumei's thinking was simple. In comparison, Cheng Chao naturally understood that person better. Since he didn't stop it, it seemed that he agreed with it.
Speaking of this, Cheng An felt even more helpless.
"Mom, my brother said that Huaiqing should pay more attention to my sister and treat her like his own sister."
After a moment of silence, Cheng Rui suddenly burst into laughter, choking uncontrollably. Tang Sumei shook her head, both amused and exasperated.
"This child is quick-witted when it comes to serious matters, but why is he still so clueless when it comes to this kind of thing?"
Jian Dan still felt that such a thing was unlikely. The first meeting was violent and brutal. If it were an ordinary person, they might easily be traumatized and have nightmares at night.
This person was clearly terrified at the time, yet he still had the leisure to criticize her. How can this person be considered normal?
"Second Aunt, do you think this person is normal?"
Tang Sumei felt a lump in her throat, and after a long while, she finally managed to say something irritating.
"I think it's you who's acting strange."
"First impressions: you're good-looking, skilled in martial arts, have a cheerful and generous personality, and are a member of the Cheng family. Shouldn't it be a normal reaction for them to be interested in you?"
A simple, conflicted thought, a scratch on the head.
"But as soon as I saw him, I grabbed him, beat him, and tied him up."
Then, killing a wild boar right in front of him and coming into such close contact with wolves—who wouldn't be scared half to death and keep their distance from me?
His face turned pale with fright. You know, this kind of reaction isn't normal, is it?
Seeing her stubbornness, Tang Sumei didn't try to persuade her anymore. This person just happened to appear at this time, and had the advantage of familiarity, so they compared him and felt that he was suitable in terms of external conditions.
However, after going through almost everyone they could think of over the past few days, they finally found this one who was not bad. Tang Sumei still felt that it was worth trying to win her over.
"So what do you think of this person?"
The question was simple, and the answer was straightforward, just two words:
"nice!"
The three of them were speechless for a moment.
After chatting with the villagers these past two days, Tang Sumei has given up hope. It's not that the villagers are bad, but the fact that the village doesn't separate households makes her completely rule it out.
Now, Jian is a sent-down youth, a benefactor to the villagers, but it's different from being considered one of their own.
Mothers-in-law have always been harsh on their daughters-in-law. With Jian Dan's personality, they would probably start fighting within three days.
As for Qin Qinghuai, he had always gotten along very well with the Cheng family. Cheng Zhuo seemed to have mentioned the Qin family once, but she had really forgotten about it.
Regardless of his family situation, now that Qin Qinghuai has been transferred here, he is unlikely to be transferred again in the short term, and he will be under their watchful eyes.
As for the future, even if Qin Qinghuai is transferred, Jian Dan has already firmly established her position in her own family. To put it bluntly, he thinks that if it really is Qin Qinghuai, then Jian Dan will definitely be the one in charge in the future.
Even if they return to the capital, they won't be afraid if the Qin family tries to cause trouble or make things difficult. Not to mention their own fighting strength, there's also the Cheng family.
By then, the two younger ones will have grown up, and there will be several uncles and nephews in the military region. No matter whose family it is, they will have to think twice.
Ultimately, it was only when Qin Qinghuai valued simplicity that simpler days became easier.
If the son's assessment is correct, then in this respect, the advantage is already on Jian Dan's side.
Tang Sumei felt more and more that Qin Qinghuai was the most suitable candidate. Moreover, she looked at Jian Dan, whose evaluation she had just given was that he was good-looking.
He is clearly satisfied with his appearance.
As for the rest...
Simple herself is not wrong. She can work, earn money, do laundry and cook, hunt, and fight. What else is she lacking?
Tang Sumei laughed at herself. Wasn't this just like finding a live-in son-in-law for Jian Dan?
The children looked at each other, all somewhat puzzled.
After staying there for three days, Tang Sumei returned to the commune looking radiant. She had already decided to call Cheng Zhuo and Cheng Jin later to ask them about the Qin family, to get a feel for them first. If the family had a good reputation and the person was alright, then she would try to persuade Jian Dan.
Jian Dan had no idea that Tang Sumei was worrying about so much. After seeing off a few people, she would occasionally think of Qin Qinghuai's face, but she would quickly put her mind back on business.
As the weather gets colder, she needs to stock up on winter vegetables, not to mention anything else. She doesn't know how long Tang Sumei will be on temporary assignment here. If there are no changes this winter, she'll prepare more vegetables, as Tang Sumei and the children will definitely come over from time to time.
Unable to go deep into the mountains, she didn't try to be different. She just followed the other educated youth to gather firewood on the outskirts and find some wild fruits for Huizhou to use to comfort the children.
Harvesting autumn vegetables, drying vegetables, pickling vegetables, pickling sauerkraut—the whole autumn is a busy and enjoyable time.
One day, Jian Dan led Hui Zhou and the other person down the mountain in a bouncy manner. When they saw a person dressed like a door god standing at the door, they were completely stunned.
"Hey, you? What are you doing here?"
To be honest, I've been having a lot of fun these days and have completely forgotten about this person.
But upon unexpectedly seeing him, with a face even fairer and smoother than Hui Zhou's, a straight and tall figure, and a hint of shyness or something in his eyes, Jian Dan's eyes lit up.
