If that weren't the case, she wouldn't have said anything more.
Fortunately, the feedback from the two women always made her feel that she had made the right choice, which made Tian Haiying like them even more.
Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian both sensed that Tian Haiying had probably suffered a loss in this kind of situation before. After exchanging a glance, Si Tian said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Auntie, we won't misunderstand. We just found out that some of the village's grain is going to be exchanged. Luckily, the team gave us a 'first come, first served' opportunity!"
Thank you so much, Auntie, for telling us so much. Haohao and I were a little worried, wondering what we would do if the team couldn't replace us. This really solved a big problem for us!
"Oh my, look at our little sweetheart's mouth! How did you two parents raise such adorable daughters? I'm so envious..."
Tian Haiying looked at the two of them and was increasingly delighted, feeling a pang of regret that such daughters weren't her own.
Looking at her two adorable daughters, and then thinking of her three rough and unruly sons, she couldn't help but pout.
Tian Haiying couldn't understand how her three daughters-in-law could put up with those three taciturn, rough men.
However, at this moment, she completely overlooked the fact that her own man was once seen by her mother-in-law as a rough and unromantic man.
Tian Haiying was lost in her own confusion. She didn't even notice Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian saying goodbye, and went home with her thoughts on her mind.
On their way home, Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian unexpectedly ran into someone they didn't want to see—Chen Hui.
They had heard that Chen Hui had returned from the hospital, but they never expected that he could still escape from the educated youth settlement in this weather, and that they would happen to run into him.
As soon as Si Tian saw him, she thought of their previous conflict and made no attempt to hide her displeasure. She didn't even bother to greet him and walked around him.
Zhu Qinghao noticed that Chen Hui's gaze towards them felt strange and unsettling.
However, since Chen Hui didn't say a word, she ignored him and went home with Si Tian, bypassing him.

It was probably the Zhou family's division of property that reminded the brigade leader, and the team took advantage of the good weather to start distributing grain the next day.
Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian had no food to share, so they didn't join the fun early on. Instead, they waited until the very end, when almost everyone had left, before buying their own food.
Tian Haiying had given instructions early on, so all of her sons were left behind to help them deliver the grain.
There were families in the village who didn't have enough food, so Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian lined up behind them, waiting to be the last to buy.
Both of them bought roughly the same amount based on their own appetites, and even bought dozens of kilograms more at the suggestion of the brigade leader.
There were quite a few people from the team watching nearby, and they didn't seem to have any objections.
The main reason was that Zhu Qinghao and the others were at the end of the line. They only started paying after everyone in the group who wanted to buy had done so.
In this way, no matter how much they buy, it won't harm the interests of the team members, so they naturally have no objections.
Moreover, Zhu Qinghao and her friend actually received money, unlike the group of educated youth at the settlement who would borrow money at the drop of a hat and never mention paying it back.
So when everyone saw the two of them take the money on the spot, they started whispering among themselves, discussing the group of educated youth at the village who would ask the team for grain every year without any real intention of doing so.
Zhu Qinghao heard a lot of this too. She didn't expect that those people could keep asking to borrow, and some of them even borrowed almost every year. However, after the work points were used up to cover the previous year's famine, they still had to borrow for their food rations.
