Did they go back in a way that alarmed the whole village?
Both Mrs. Chen and He Chun looked at their daughter with some confusion. What did this mean?
They felt that the more low-key and inconspicuous this matter was, the better, so as not to let the scandalous affair with their bloodsucking relatives get out, which would be truly shameful.
Seeing her parents' confusion, He Tiantian explained, "Father, Mother, think about it yourselves. We're giving money to Grandma now, but can this money really be used for Grandma?"
Madam Chen shook her head decisively, "How could that be? Wouldn't those three families find a way to take it all away? And your two sisters-in-law, they're not pushovers either. Do you think they're always running back to their parents' home these days?"
So, they wanted to gather something from home.
He Tiantian clapped her hands, "That's right! This money definitely won't go to Grandma. But if everyone in the village knew that Dad gave money every month, even if Grandma said something in the village, no one would believe her."
After hearing her daughter's explanation, Mrs. Chen suddenly understood.
It seems like spending this money isn't so frustrating anymore.
Previously, Chen felt aggrieved, partly because of the old woman's attitude towards them, but more importantly because she felt that the money given away was being embezzled by the third wife.
“Girl, you’re right, let’s do it this way!” Chen felt a little better and had an appetite for the pancake in her hand.
By the time the family arrived at Changfeng Village, it was already past noon.
The village is quite quiet before and after the New Year, and you can see groups of people chatting everywhere.
From afar, He Tiantian could see two or three groups of people chatting at the village entrance. For the first time, she regretted building her house in such a conspicuous location at the village entrance.
You can run into people as soon as you step outside; you have absolutely no privacy.
He Tiantian sighed silently in her heart, but she had no choice but to accept this reality.
The heavy snow stopped today, and the snow on the village roads was cleared clean. Only the sides of the less frequently used roads and the riverbanks had some snow accumulation.
It had just snowed, and although there was no sun, there was no wind either, so it wasn't too cold. No wonder the villagers were out chatting.
He Shitou tightened the reins and slowed down.
"Father, Mother, Elder Sister, there are so many people ahead, including the village head!" He Shitou craned his neck to look around.
From a great distance, his eyes met those of Sun Qi, the young master Sun, who was standing in the crowd.
He Shitou grinned and started laughing, "Haha, this young master Sun is surrounded by all the old women in our village, they actually look quite good together."
He Shitou found it quite amusing to see Sun Qi surrounded by those old women.
This fair-skinned young man was like a phoenix fallen among chickens, standing out conspicuously yet dazzlingly.
It was so dazzling that even He Shitou couldn't bear to look at it.
Hearing He Shitou speak, He Tiantian curiously peeked out from the carriage.
Sure enough, the village entrance was crowded with people, and at a glance, Young Master Sun was indeed the most eye-catching.
"This young master Sun doesn't have any airs of a rich kid at all," He Tiantian murmured.
He Shitou quickly nodded, "Of course, Young Master Sun said, when in Rome, do as the Romans do."
He Tiantian: "..."
What a great example of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do"... It is indeed quite vulgar.
But that's fine too. If this young master Sun had a terrible temper, she probably would have kicked him out with a broom long ago.
The family of four arrived at the village entrance and disembarked from the carriage.
Sister-in-law Yulan happened to be there too, and she was the most enthusiastic of them all.
"Oh, Maruko's mom just got back from visiting relatives. It must have been cold coming and going from so far."
He Tiantian blew on her hands, "It was cold in the mountains, but it felt alright once we got to the village."
The other people who were familiar with He Tiantian nodded and greeted her.
Chen was not familiar with the people in the village and had little to talk to, so she went home to take care of her children.
He Tiantian was pulled over by Yulan's mother, Tao's mother, Zhao Yan's mother, and Tiezi's mother to chat together.
It just so happened that Er Gou's wife, Song, was also there. When she saw He Tiantian, she smiled.
Holding the child in her arms, she came to He Tiantian and said, "Wanzi's mom, I should thank you back then."
Regardless, what Wanzi's mother said back then did change Zhao Ergou somewhat.
"No need to thank me, I wasn't much help. It's all in the past now. You're a beautiful child..."
He Tiantian automatically steered the conversation to the child Song was holding in her arms. The others had all looked at the child and praised Song for her good looks and the handsome child she had given birth to.
When the villagers chatted together, they liked to talk about everyday things, and they couldn't help but ask He Tiantian how her business in the city was going.
The whole village knew that Zhao Yanniang and Tiezi's mother had been working at He Tiantian's restaurant for the past two days.
This matter must have come from Cheng's mouth.
He Tiantian glanced at the Cheng family, who were chatting animatedly in the crowd, and wondered how this woman could still have the nerve to live after losing so much face.
Actually, He Tiantian could understand Cheng's thoughts to some extent.
Because she couldn't stand seeing others doing well, her jealousy flared up, and she wanted to spread the word throughout the village about how well others were doing.
This will surely arouse the jealousy and envy of the whole village.
Zhao Yanniang and Tiezi's mother were speechless about this. After the villagers found out, they would ask them every time they met, and the questions they asked were all about how much they earned a month.
Some people think that Maruko-chan is generous, so her wages must be high. Others say that Maruko-chan is the most stingy, and that she must be using them as free labor.
