He Tiantian felt a pang of guilt seeing this, but she looked away and suddenly forgave him.
“Go back now, and don’t do such petty theft again. You’re a girl, and this kind of behavior is bad for your reputation in the village.”
Zhao Xiaocao nodded gratefully and got up from the ground.
"Thank you, Second Aunt. I... I will definitely not do such a thing again."
Zhao Xiaocao limped a few steps before He Tiantian called her back.
"Wait a minute, since you picked these fruits, take them with you and eat them." They look rather pitiful; I wonder how Cheng Shi takes care of the children every day.
Zhao Xiaocao stopped, limping, her tears falling like raindrops, a sight that tugged at the heartstrings.
She picked up the tomatoes from the ground and said, "Thank you, Second Aunt," before leaving.
After Zhao Xiaocao walked away, He Tiantian's family went back inside to have dinner.
Zhao Wanzi didn't seem to be in high spirits. She used to hate Zhao Xiaocao. But why did she suddenly not hate her anymore when she saw how pitiful she looked today?
On the contrary, I felt a little sorry for her.
Zhao Wanzi tore off a small piece of steamed bun, chewed it, and suddenly said, "Mother, I've made up my mind."
The whole family looked up at her, wondering what she had decided.
“I’ve decided not to hate Sister Xiaocao anymore. I think she’s quite pitiful…” Zhao Wanzi said in a low voice.
This Zhao Xiaocao used to always cause trouble for her and her sister, which was annoying.
But seeing the injuries on her body today, Zhao Wanzi wondered if her life at home wasn't easy either. After all, her third aunt usually doted on her two older brothers the most.
They had seen their third aunt cutting grass when they lived in the old house.
Being beaten like that by one's own mother must have been very heartbreaking.
He Tiantian patted Zhao Wanzi's head and said with a smile, "This shows that our Wanzi is a kind and compassionate person, and it shows that you've grown up."
Zhao Denglong, on the other hand, wasn't so sentimental. She felt that if you couldn't get along with someone from the start, you should just ignore them.
Anyway, now that they have Sister Green and Sister Orchid in their family, they are very happy to be able to do things and live together.
For dinner, we ate tofu and soy milk that Zhao Xiaolv had just made today. It was a great success, exactly the same as what's sold in the city.
The tofu cubes were pan-fried until golden brown, and the soy milk was sprinkled with sugar—a hearty dinner.
He Tiantian picked up a piece of tofu and tasted it. "It's very good. By the way, I haven't had a chance to tell everyone about renting the shop last time..."
Several days have passed, and everyone has been waiting for this to happen.
Since He Tiantian didn't bring it up herself, everyone assumed the matter hadn't been resolved, so they didn't ask.
“The shop isn’t rented…” He Tiantian said.
When everyone heard this, they thought, "Well, that's exactly what I expected."
He Chun said, "Yes, we need to think carefully about doing business and make sure everything goes perfectly."
He Tiantian smiled and said, "I bought a shop directly, with a yard and a second floor. You can do business downstairs and live upstairs."
Zhao Wanzi's eyes lit up. "Mom, does that mean our family will have a house in the city in the future?"
The four children's eyes shone like stars. A shop bought? Not rented? These are not the same things!
