Even someone as honest as Zhao Xiangbei found it hard to stand Zhao Xiaocao.
Zhao Xiaocao begged him repeatedly to let her ride in the carriage. But the carriage didn't belong to his family, so how could he make that decision?
Not to mention Zhao Xiaocao, even during a bumper harvest, he never allowed any of his children to sit there.
The third son's child was a bit unruly; several times they tried to sit down, but Zhao Xiangbei and Zhao Dahai stopped them in time.
Zhao Xiaocao hesitated and looked quite pitiful.
"Second Aunt..."
He Tiantian looked at her.
"Could I sit in your carriage for just a little while, just a little while..." Zhao Xiaocao clutched her clothes, looking pitiful.
He Tiantian sighed inwardly and got off the car with Xiao Mingzhu in her arms.
She wasn't petty, so she said, "Then go ahead and try it. Sit for a while and then get down. The carriage is dangerous; don't hurt yourself."
The main reason was that He Tiantian was afraid that Zhao Xiaocao would get hurt, and then the Cheng family would definitely hold her accountable.
Zhao Xiangbei sighed inwardly, "What a worry!"
He Tiantian carried the child into her own home, and Zhao Dahai followed behind, helping her take down her things.
Inside the house, He Shitou was tending the fire in the kitchen, while Zhao Xiaolü and Zhao Wanzi were busy in the kitchen.
When He Tiantian went inside, she saw that five or six dishes had already been prepared on the stove.
"Mother, you're back."
"Auntie."
"Sister..."
The three of them greeted each other, but they were all too busy to have time to play with Xiaomingzhu.
He Tiantian looked at the large number of dishes and asked in surprise, "Why did you make so many dishes today? Did you know I was coming back?"
Zhao Xiaolu was a little embarrassed and explained, "It was Madam Song who specifically emphasized it."
He Tiantian nodded, understanding.
Besides the mistress, Madam Song also has maids and servants on her side. They'll probably all be celebrating together.
"But Auntie, I made a little extra. We can eat as soon as it's done."
Zhao Dahai put the things in the main room and then went out.
Suddenly, a series of firecracker sounds came from next door; none of us had ever seen anything like them before.
He Shitou, along with his two eldest nieces, immediately took off running out, without even having time to close the courtyard gate.
The three kids noticed it in the morning and were just waiting for it.
After checking that the fire in the stove was still burning and making sure it wouldn't fall down, He Tiantian took her child and went outside to join the fun.
The whole village gathered around, all staring intently at the magnificent-looking carriage.
The carriage stopped under the old locust tree, and suddenly there were three carriages at the village entrance, making it quite lively.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's attention was fixed on the Song family's carriage.
The curtain was lifted, and two young maids came down from inside.
"Wow!" Everyone exclaimed in unison.
Are all the maids in wealthy families dressed so well? That emerald green dress, is it brocade?
Of course, the villagers didn't recognize brocade. They had never even had the chance to come into contact with it.
Then, another old woman got off the carriage.
The old woman was dressed better than the maid, and she even had a silver hairpin in her hair.
"Is this the old Madam Song?" the crowd guessed.
