Moreover, judging from Young Master Cheng's attitude towards the two sisters just now, it seems that he does not know that Cheng Taotao is already married.
Cheng Taotao pondered to herself, because after she got married, she did not wear a traditional married woman's hairstyle.
If that's the case, then perhaps she can make the most of this Young Master Cheng.
"Zhizhi, don't mention a word about what happened today when we get back," Cheng Taotao instructed.
Cheng Zhizhi nodded, but she was a little hesitant... Now that there was another young master Cheng, who should she target?
With three options appearing at once, it's really difficult to choose.
Thinking of this, Cheng Zhizhi hesitated and said, "Sister, we've worked so hard for so long, it seems like this Young Master Cheng is easier."
Cheng Taotao naturally understood what Cheng Zhizhi was talking about. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was indeed true.
Although Zhao Yan was fair-skinned, he was focused on his studies and had no interest in romance.
That Director Song came from the capital, so he should be even richer. But because Director Song spends all his time at the mine, the two sisters have only met him once so far.
Thinking about it, it seems that only this Young Master Cheng is easier to hook.
He's rich, generous, and respects the two sisters.
Cheng Taotao and Cheng Zhizhi exchanged a glance, as if they understood something.
The two walked side by side toward Zhao Dagou's house. Cheng Zhizhi asked, "Sister, when did that young master Cheng say he would come to Changfeng Village again when he was buying the car?"
Cheng Taotao thought for a moment, "It seems like it was said to be a month from now, and that they would bring a friend. Anyone who can be friends with Young Master Cheng must be either rich or noble..."
The next day, He Tiantian went out after dinner.
She wanted to go to Zhao Tingzhang's house to discuss the land purchase.
The wasteland in the village is currently overgrown with weeds. After buying it, we'll clean it up and plan how to use it in advance.
He Tiantian never expected that she would run into someone she knew on the street.
Tao Guihua was also taken aback when she saw He Tiantian. She was carrying a basket and awkwardly called out, "Auntie."
He Tiantian smiled awkwardly, "It's osmanthus..."
Ever since Tao Guihua and her brother from her maternal family were released from the county jail, everyone in the village thought that Tao Guihua would definitely break up with her husband's family, after all, when she got into trouble, her husband's family had completely distanced themselves from the situation.
Unexpectedly, Tao Guihua returned to Changfeng Village and never mentioned the previous incident again. She also did not seek revenge on Zhao Youqian's family.
Tao Guihua did not seek justice from her cold-hearted in-laws; instead, she would occasionally bring them a few meals.
He Tiantian heard these things from Sister-in-law Yulan.
Everyone says that Tao Guihua has changed her ways and is doing these things to make up for the foolish mistakes she made in the past.
He Tiantian didn't ask any further questions, but when she saw Tao Guihua today, she felt that something was off.
Tao Guihua smiled apologetically, "Auntie, I heard you've settled down in the city. Why are you back today?"
He Tiantian was speechless... There were all sorts of versions circulating in the village about her going to the city.
"Oh... business is bad these days, and there's not much to do, so I came back. Where are you going?" He Tiantian asked politely, seeing the basket on her shoulder.
Tao Guihua said softly, "Lingdang wants to eat wild vegetables. I'll go to the fields and see if I can find any."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, and even after Tao Guihua had walked away, He Tiantian still felt that something was off.
Tao Guihua used to be such an arrogant person at the ancestral hall, but now she seems listless and gloomy.
Never mind, she has important things to do.
He Tiantian arrived at Zhao Tingzhang's house. Liu Shi and her daughter-in-law Cheng Ying were washing clothes and preparing winter clothes and quilts in the yard.
In that era, the quilts used in village households were usually stuffed with willow catkins.
Willow catkins are drafty, so they're definitely not as warm as a cotton quilt. He Tiantian's quilts were all secretly bought from the mall.
"Sister-in-law, Cheng Ying, are you busy?" He Tiantian walked into the courtyard.
When Liu saw He Tiantian come in, she quickly put down what she was doing and went to greet her. Cheng Ying also put down her work and went into the house to get a stool and some water.
Every household in the village has a courtyard. When people come, they rarely go inside; instead, they bring out stools and sit in the courtyard to chat.
It's bright outside, and the sun is shining; it feels wonderful.
He Tiantian didn't stand on ceremony and took the stool and sat down.
"I'm here to see Director Zhao. I have something to discuss with him," He Tiantian stated her purpose.
"Oh dear..." Liu slapped her thigh and ordered, "Cheng Ying, go to the end of the village and call your father back."
Cheng Ying responded and quickly ran out.
Liu continued, "Now the village is going to build a school, isn't it? This old man is never home, always either supervising the construction or busy farming. I heard that this...you know...the idea of planting wheat, was that yours?"
He Tiantian nodded, "Anyway, the land in the field is just sitting empty, so why not try planting something?"
Liu agreed, as they hadn't known these things in previous years. They only grew sweet potatoes and rice, and the fields were always empty in winter, only able to be plowed and planted the following spring.
It was a happy thing, but He Tiantian seemed to see a trace of worry on Liu's face.
"What's wrong, sister-in-law? You seem to have something on your mind."
Mrs. Liu sighed, "Alas, it's all because of Dahai and Cheng Ying's affair. After much urging, Dahai finally went to see a doctor. But, alas..."
He Tiantian had a bad feeling.
“My husband and I have always been honest and law-abiding people, and we’ve never done anything wrong. Dahai is a very good kid, but… the doctor says his illness is incurable…”
