Qin Xueqiong was puzzled when she saw her daughter asking about Widow Xia, "Why are you asking about her all of a sudden?"
Seeing that the two children were there, Tang Xiaorou didn't say much, for fear that they would hear her and unconsciously spread the news, so she just shook her head and said, "Nothing, just a little curious."
As she spoke, she put the cloth down.
"Let's just make clothes out of this fine cotton cloth so that no one will want it anymore. As for the malted milk and egg cake, they were all eaten, so we didn't take them back, but I asked them to pay for it."
At the end, Tang Xiaorou handed the money to Qin Xueqiong and said, "Mom, keep this money."
"No, just keep it."
Qin Xueqiong had not had a penny since she married into the Tang family. Now, when she suddenly saw fifty-five yuan, it seemed like a huge sum of money.
Tang Xiaorou stuffed the money into her hands without further ado, "Mom, you should at least carry some money with you for emergencies."
Seeing her daughter's insistence, Qin Xueqiong accepted the money. Her eyes were slightly red. She didn't expect that the first time she gave her money would be to her daughter. "I will keep it well and buy delicious food for the two children when I go to the market."
At the end of the conversation, Qin Xueqiong smiled again and said, "I'll ask the villagers to exchange some eggs and flour first, and then make egg noodles."
"good."
Tang Xiaorou smiled and told her mother to go back quickly.
When Qin Xueqiong went out, Tang Rufang happened to bring Jiang Wenyan into the main house.
"Rufang, I've been here several times. You really don't have to be so formal. There's no need to pack separately." Jiang Wenyan walked in while smiling.
Tang Rufang, however, smiled absentmindedly. She didn't know whether the house was cleaned up or not. Besides, there were slap marks on her mother's face. It would be embarrassing if Jiang Wenyan saw it.
Thinking of this, Tang Rufang secretly regretted it. If she had known earlier, she should not have responded. Now even if she wanted to stop it, it was too late. One foot had already stepped over the threshold.
Mr. Tang looked at Jiang Wenyan and greeted him with a smile, "Wenyan, come here, sit down quickly."
Mrs. Tang also had a smile on her face and gave Wen Yan a bowl of sugar water. "Wen Yan, we don't have anything good to treat you at home. Drink some sugar water to moisten your throat."
"Thank you, ma'am."
Jiang Wenyan thanked him politely, then greeted Tang Jianhua and the others, and finally asked, "Why didn't you see your aunt?"
Tang Rufang didn't know where Li Cuilan had gone, and Old Lady Tang smiled and explained, "She felt a little uncomfortable, so she went back to her room to rest."
Hearing this, Jiang Wenyan asked a few more questions with concern. When he learned that Li Cuilan was fine, he smiled and said, "I'm glad that Auntie is fine."
Looking at the polite and gentle handsome man in front of her, Old Lady Tang was extremely satisfied. Her granddaughter was indeed a capable one. She won the most popular male educated youth in the Youth Home in one fell swoop. The girls in the village were so envious of her. Even the female educated youth in the Youth Home were jealous of her granddaughter.
"Wen Yan, what's the matter with you coming here today?"
Mr. Tang was also very satisfied with Jiang Wenyan, so even though so many things had just happened, he was still smiling when facing Jiang Wenyan.
"Grandpa, I'll come over tomorrow to discuss matters with Rufang."
Hearing this, Tang Rufang's eyes lit up, and she looked at Jiang Wenyan expectantly and asked, "Wenyan, do you receive letters from home?" She said before that she was not pretentious about having a partner. She and Jiang Wenyan were really dating seriously, and their relationship had already reached the point of agreeing on marriage, and they were just waiting for the letter from Jiang Wenyan's parents.
"Well, take it."
Jiang Wenyan nodded, looked at Tang Rufang with a smile and said, "My parents have no objection to our relationship, but it's not convenient for them to come to our wedding. I can only wait for me to take a leave and then take you to meet them."
"Really? That's great!"
Tang Rufang stood up excitedly, her face full of joy. You know, Jiang Wenyan is an educated youth from the capital. Even if he comes here now, it can't change the fact that he came from the capital.
Everyone in the Tang family also showed happy expressions.
"Wen Yan, since your parents are very satisfied with Rufang, you should settle your marriage with Rufang as soon as possible. We will choose a good day and hold your wedding banquet." Old Mrs. Tang just wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.
"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements all the time." Jiang Wenyan responded with a smile.
Seeing that Jiang Wenyan had no objection, Mrs. Tang was more satisfied with her grandson-in-law. "Okay, when I choose a date, I'll let Rufang tell you."
"good."
Mr. Tang at the side asked, "Wen Yan, where will you and Rufang live after you get married? After all, the Youth Academy is not convenient, and Rufang definitely can't live there."
Jiang Wenyan had already thought about this, so he directly expressed his thoughts.
"Grandpa, I wonder if after Rufang and I get married, we can apply for a piece of land in the village to build a house. In this way, Rufang and I can have our own little home."
Hearing this, Tang Rufang turned around and asked, "Grandpa, can we mention it to the village chief first?"
Mr. Tang thought this was a good idea. "Okay, I'll ask my husband to ask the village chief. He should be able to approve it, but it will cost money, plus the cost of building the house, it's not a small amount."
Jiang Wenyan said quickly after hearing this: "Grandpa, I have already prepared the money for building the house, you don't have to worry."
"That's good." When Mr. Tang heard this, his eyes sparkled, and then he said to his son, "Jianhua, you should go to the village chief's house later."
Tang Jianhua nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, I know."
On the other side, Qin Xueqiong came back after exchanging orders with someone else and cooked egg noodles for Tang Xiaorou and the two children. She wanted to eat less, but with Tang Xiaorou watching her, she couldn't eat less even if she wanted to.
"Mom, we can only take better care of our two children if we take good care of our bodies. You have suffered too much over the years. From now on, we must take good care of ourselves."
"Okay, Mom knows."
Seeing her mother nodded in agreement, Tang Xiaorou smiled. Later, she found another opportunity to tell her about Widow Xia and Old Man Tang.
"Wha...what..."
Qin Xueqiong's face was full of disbelief, "This... this can't be possible."
"I heard it with my own ears, so it must be true."
Qin Xueqiong naturally did not doubt what her daughter said. She was just too shocked. "But if Tang Jianhua is the widow Xia's son, what about the old woman's biological son?"
"That's what I'm curious about, so I don't want to alert the enemy. I just want to get to the bottom of this first."
Qin Xueqiong nodded when she heard this, agreeing with her daughter's point of view.
She thought about it carefully, then looked at Tang Xiaorou and said, "Whenever a child is born in our village, we always ask Hua Pozi from the next village to deliver the baby. But when the old woman gave birth to Tang Jianhua, it was definitely not Hua Pozi who delivered the baby. I don't know who the midwife was. I have to ask someone to find out."
