Halfway through the walk, before reaching the village chief's house, He Tianci's steps began to become hesitant and he was reluctant to move forward.

Meng Lan looked at his inexplicable behavior and couldn't help but turn around and give him a blank look, "What's wrong? Why don't you leave?"

Could it be that this boy saw through her intentions and was planning to slack off?

Meng Lan was planning to let He Tianci carry bricks and tiles, and then continue to work as a laborer when the house was built. If this cunning boy saw through her now... If he saw through her, she still didn't believe that she couldn't cure her son!

He Tianci was frightened by Meng Lan's aura. He rubbed his hands together but couldn't open his mouth to speak.

He Tianci now feels that he is in a dilemma. He is afraid of offending his mother, as his mother had some unpleasant things with the village chief's family in the past.

But if he didn't tell her, he was afraid that his mother would be angry. If he went to the village chief's house and was turned away, his mother would blame him for not telling her earlier.

Meng Lan was not as complicated as He Tianci thought. She just sold some bricks and tiles to build a house. What grudges were there? They were from the same village, and the village chief was also surnamed He. They were related and there was no blood feud.

Meng Lan looked at He Tianci and thought he had something to say. She was in a hurry to go to the village chief's house, so she urged him.

"Okay, why are you hesitating? If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly." Don't force me to slap you.

Meng Lan did not say the second half of the sentence, as she decided not to say anything too harsh for the time being.

He Tianci finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, lowered his voice and whispered in his mother's ear, "Mom, have you forgotten? What happened between the village chief's family and my third sister..."

Others in the family didn't see the scene, but he saw it in town. His mother shouldn't have forgotten it!

Of course Meng Lan remembered He Sanhua, and she also wanted to take He Sanhua home and rescue her from that cannibalistic den.

It just so happened that He Tianci and Fu Xinren had a fight, so she took the opportunity to take her second daughter back home first.

However, things have their priorities. Even if He Tianci and Fu Xinren had not fought, she would have planned to bring her second daughter back first.

After all, the eldest daughter and the third daughter can still wait for a while, but the second daughter is beaten and suffers every day. If she is beaten to death, the dead cannot be resurrected, and it will be of no use even if she regrets it.

Of course, according to the original plot, He Erhua would not be beaten to death by Fu Xinren so early.

She would have to have at least two more children aborted by Fu Xinren before she would die in the original book. She and the fetus in her belly died at the hands of Fu Xinren, leaving two lives behind.

Originally, Meng Lan planned to save some money before going to the Fu family to ask for someone. Unexpectedly, Fu Xinren handed the opportunity to He Tianci, which was considered to be a "good thing".

Next, the eldest daughter and the third daughter are still suffering outside.

The eldest daughter married a butcher. On the surface, she was the one who had the best life among the three sisters.

The butcher does not indulge in eating, drinking, whoring or gambling. Although he is big and strong, he has a good reputation among his neighbors and is a good man who is filial and cares about his family.

Moreover, He Dahua gave birth to a son for her eldest son-in-law in the first year after her marriage, and her life was much better than her two younger sisters. But behind closed doors, she lived a life worse than pigs and dogs, without dignity, like the lowest servant in the family.

He Dahua had no words to describe all this, but she had nowhere to escape.

The third daughter, He Sanhua, married a man who was about the same age as Meng Lan. She was said to be married, but in fact she was becoming someone's concubine.

Mr. Bu is a playboy and a henpecked man. He has numerous concubines in the backyard and a wife to keep the house in check. There are family feuds every day.

In such a gloomy environment, He Sanhua became more and more depressed day by day, and her pain seemed to have no end.

It was painful enough to serve a man who was old enough to be her father, and she had to fight with a group of women. Even if she didn't want to fight, they would hurt her.

The people who could stay in the backyard of the official for a long time were all old people, such as the official's wife and old concubine. Young girls like He Sanhua, except for those who were very scheming, were usually either dead or disabled.

He Sanhua was also injured by them and lost her fertility.

Although she didn't like this old man, her child was her child. If she lost even the right to have her own child, He Sanhua would really lose the last glimmer of hope as a human being.

Meng Lan was thinking about the situations of her two daughters, wondering which one was more dangerous on He Sanhua's side.

He Dahua could still hold on for a while, but He Sanhua was really in a critical situation. I don't know if her Sanhua was injured by those people at this point in time.

Meng Lan thought about this and couldn't help but feel worried.

"I have my own plans for your third sister. Let's go to the village chief's house to order bricks and tiles today. I'll go to town to see your third sister in a few days."

"Okay, Mom." Seeing that his mother was determined to do what she wanted, He Tianci did not resist. Anyway, his arms could not beat his thighs, so he just let his mother do what she wanted.

After Meng Lan and her companion arrived at the village chief's house, they looked at the bricks and tiles drying on the ground outside and nodded with satisfaction, thinking the workmanship was good.

Then, Meng Lan signaled He Tianci to knock on the door.

dong dong dong-

"Who is it?" An old voice came from inside, followed by hurried footsteps, and the door was opened from the inside.

"Village chief, it's me." Meng Lan looked at the man who came out and smiled at him.

When He Dazhu saw that the person coming was Meng Lan, his pupils shrank suddenly. How dare she come?

"What are you here for?"

"My family is planning to build a house and wants to buy bricks and tiles."

He Dazhu was stunned by Meng Lan's generous and frank attitude. Was he judging others by his own mean standards?

After He Dazhu reacted, he suddenly threw this weird idea out of his head.

Bah! How could this old woman who only cares about money be a gentleman! If it weren’t for the old woman who loves money, how could his youngest son have been so stimulated that his brain went crazy…

"Well, if it's something related to the village, I'll do it for you, but I won't sell you these bricks and tiles." Thinking of this, the old man got angry.

When He Tianci heard the village chief's words, his heart immediately skipped a beat and he nervously looked at his mother's face.

Meng Lan looked calm, showing no sign of anger. It was indeed the original body that did something wrong, so she was in the wrong.

Now she would talk to He Dazhu first. If he was reasonable, then they would do business properly. If he was still unreasonable, she would not lose her temper and would just leave without buying.

"Village chief, we are all from the same village. I am buying from you because of our relationship and want to keep the wealth within the family..."

Meng Lan tried to reason with the old man in a gentle manner, but before she could finish her words, a deep male voice suddenly came from the inner room, interrupting her.

"Dad, sell it to them."
