Tian Cai lowered his eyes, feeling that there was nothing to hide, and looked over again, "Are there two people beside that person? One is shorter, and the other is thin and small."
"You really have seen them!" Qin Ling's face showed a rare hint of anxiety. "Where are they?"
"Hmm," Tian Cai puffed out his cheeks and pointed towards the North Mountain without any guilt. "It's probably in some corner of the mountain, used as fertilizer for the flowers!"
That look clearly shows one thing: I have killed you, what can you do about it!
Qin Ling: "..."
Qin Ling let out a long breath, stared at Tian Cai seriously and said, "From now on, don't let anyone else know about this."
Tian Cai tilted his head and said nothing. After a while, he said in a pretentious tone, "I'm kidding you. Who dares to bury someone? Three grown men at that. How could I, so weak and helpless, possibly beat them? And bury them? Oh my God, it's so scary."
Although she said she was afraid, her face didn't show a trace of it, and her pretty almond eyes even blinked at Qin Ling.
Qin Ling looked at her for a few seconds and burst into laughter.
Seeing him smile, Tian Cai couldn't help but laugh too. He pointed at him and said, "Are you stupid? You insisted on asking me if I knew Zhou Wenliang, and I couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I tried. The Zhou Wenliang you mentioned turned out to be that person. That name sounds quite cultured, and it doesn't even connect to that scarred-faced guy. What were the other two people's names?"
"I only know the nicknames of those two people. One is called Skinny Monkey and the other is called Gold Bar."
Tian Cai touched his chin and said, "Well, you know what, these two nicknames are quite appropriate."
The smallest one should be Skinny Monkey, and the one who is slightly taller must be Gold Tiao.
"Then why did you--" Qin Ling didn't want to ask at first, but seeing that Tian Cai didn't seem to be shy about asking, he simply asked the doubts in his heart. Before he finished speaking, Tian Cai already understood the rest of the words that he had not yet said.
"My mother's death is related to them."
Looking at the girl who was looking away, she still had a smile on her face, but it made people feel distressed for no reason. She and her elder brother depended on each other, and her elder brother's death was a huge blow to him, not to mention Tian Cai, a sixteen-year-old girl, who must have been scared at the time.
Tian Cai was looking outside and thinking about something at this time, but this matter had nothing to do with Qin Ling. She just suddenly thought of Cai Ping's identity. Could it be that the military had already investigated it? Even Qin Ling could guess it, let alone the military?
Seeing how cautious they were with the wound medicine and hemostatic powder, Tian Cai felt that he had always overlooked a problem. Perhaps they had already investigated everything about him, and Cai Ping's identity was no longer a secret to these people. In this case, Commander Yu could still come to him to help detoxify Chen Jinhui, and even let her go to the field hospital on the border to help the PLA detoxify. Does this mean that Cai Ping's identity is harmless to this country?
Could she also learn through the military who was hunting Cai Ping? Was he the son-in-law she had always thought he was?
Also, how is the Cai family doing in Hong Kong City? Do they have any descendants?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt like an idiot. How could she be so naive as to think that no one could investigate their identities? How could she think that in this era without identity registration, Cai Ping could just appear out of thin air after living here for a few years!
Mom, has she been living a comfortable life for too long? How come she has lost her brains?
Tian Cai became visibly depressed, like a drooping rabbit. Qin Ling thought she was sad because of her mother's death. He felt a little guilty and should have kept it a secret.
However, after this frank conversation, the two of them understood each other a little better.
But it never reached that level, and when Tian Cai thought about actually dating this person, he felt like something was missing.
She was not opposed to finding a partner in this era, but she did not hold out much hope from the beginning. In later generations, men and women were equal and received the same education, but there were still so many men who had different values from her and thought they were superior, not to mention now, decades later.
She didn't think she could have a common language with people of this generation. It would be great if she could really meet them, but if not, there was nothing to complain about.
She is beautiful and capable, and has no problem supporting herself. There is no need for her to look for a man. She can live well on her own. Besides, she has Mimi by her side, and she may have Mimi's descendants in the future.
In the past, several of her married colleagues advised her not to get married if she could avoid it, as there was nothing good about getting married. They also said that if she got divorced one day, she would definitely not look for another man, and it would be fine for her to live on her own. If she wanted to find a man, she could find one, and if she didn't want to find one, she could kick him out, and she could change her tastes frequently.
If you are willing to have a child and your financial situation allows, you can have one. If you don’t want to have one, then don’t have to. Life will be so comfortable then.
Tian Cai felt that in this era, even if she couldn't achieve what she wanted later, she should be able to live on her own.

Tian Xuefeng, who was far away in Hebei Province, received a package. He stared at the mailing address on it and hurriedly ran back home with the package.
"Mother—mother—there's a package in the mail!"
Yang Shuqin was hanging clothes in the yard. She can now go out to do some simple work, and her cough is much better than before. If she continues to take the prescription given by Tian Cai, she will definitely get better and better.
Seeing her son hurried home, Yang Shuqin said angrily, "You're already grown up, and yet you're so irritable over such a small matter. You're not steady at all!"
"Don't worry about whether I'm stable or not. Look who sent the package!" Tian Xuefeng showed Yang Shuqin the address written on the package with excitement.
"Let me see—" Yang Shuqin held the package in one hand and pointed at the words on it with the other, reading them one by one. "Liao, Province, Xiang, Yang, City, Huang, County, Liao Province. Is this from Cai Cai?"
Yang Shuqin's voice suddenly became excited. "Quick, open it and see if Cai Cai has sent any letters."
"Let me open it and see!"
Tian Xuefeng ran into the house, took a pair of scissors from the sewing basket, picked up an edge and removed the thread bit by bit.
Yang Shuqin stamped her feet anxiously beside him, "Hurry up, hurry up, why are you so slow! What if you don't have arms?"
"Oh, be careful, don't cut Cai Cai's letter!"
"Go aside, I'll do it myself. Give me the scissors."
…
Finally, under Yang Shuqin's repeated urging, Tian Xuefeng finally opened the package carefully and quickly.
Yang Shuqin went over several bundles of different sizes and found the letter sandwiched in the middle. She opened it hastily to read. Although she could recognize a lot of words, her eyesight was not good. She was exhausted from doing too much work when she was young and could not see small things clearly.
Yang Shuqin squinted her eyes and looked at it for a long time. Finally, she had to hand it to her son and said firmly, "Read it to me!"
