This displeased Tiezi's mother and Zhao Yan's mother. There was nothing they could do; all they could say was that working in the city was alright, a little better than staying at home.
Just then, another unfamiliar face appeared at the village entrance.
Moreover, the woman was accompanied by a beautiful young girl, which made it impossible for anyone not to take a second look.
Everyone shut their mouths and looked at the mother and daughter.
Sister-in-law Yulan recognized her first and quickly tugged at Tao's sleeve.
“I’m talking about the Tao family, that’s my sister-in-law and her daughter Xiu’er. Go and bring Tiezhu over here quickly. Come to my house and take a look.”
Tao was initially curious, but once she understood, she hurriedly rushed home.
Both parties had originally agreed that they would come on the first day of the lunar new year, but they didn't expect that this would cause a delay, and it would be past noon.
Sister-in-law Yulan quickly stepped forward, "Sister-in-law, did you come here with Xiuer?"
Seeing how exhausted the mother and daughter were, Sister-in-law Yulan was quite surprised.
The road is difficult to travel in this freezing weather. If we were coming from the city, we probably would have set off before dawn.
Honestly, they can't even afford to hire a car.
Luo was exhausted and out of breath. Han Xiu, a young girl, was also nearly collapsed from exhaustion, her face flushed, and she was also panting heavily.
However, when she saw Sister-in-law Yulan, she held her breath and called out, "Auntie."
"Alright, alright, this child is quite tired too. Come on, let's go to your aunt's house to rest and have a drink of water."
Han Xiu nodded, and then, seeing the group of people behind Sister-in-law Yulan, she smiled and greeted each of them, even though she didn't recognize them.
This also includes He Tiantian.
He Tiantian noticed that Han Xiu was quite tall, and although her skin wasn't fair, she had delicate features.
Moreover, the girl seemed very proper and didn't seem like the kind of person who was difficult to deal with.
Sister-in-law Yulan called Luo Shi and Han Xiu's family to go home, but fearing it would be too lonely, she also called He Tiantian, Zhao Yanniang, and a few others to go home and talk together.
Since the group had nothing else to do, they decided to go along with them.
On the way, Zhao Yanniang pulled He Tiantian along at the very back.
She nudged He Tiantian's arm quietly, leaned close and whispered, "Wanzi's mother, I think this girl is nice. It's just that her mother doesn't seem very good; she looks so mean."
He Tiantian nodded. She had to admit that Aunt Zhao had a pretty good eye for people.
This Luo woman had a plump body, a round face, and a black mole on her chin.
Especially his eyebrows, which were so black they looked like two worms—it was a bit too much. And when he looked at someone, it was as if he was glaring at them.
He Tiantian was quite impressed when she first met Luo Shi.
It turned out that this was Yulan's mother's eldest sister-in-law. She also remembered that there was a second sister-in-law, Fu, who was thin. The two were quite different.
After walking for a short while, the group arrived at Sister Yulan's house.
Liu Yulan and Liu Shuixian, the two children, happened to be at home. Upon seeing the guests, the two children busied themselves with serving them.
