Aunt Luo stuffed the egg into Zhan Xinyue's hand and whispered thank you.

Zhan Xinyue didn't understand why, so she declined, "Aunt Luo, I can't accept these eggs."

Eggs were a good thing in rural areas in the 70s. They not only provided nutrition but could also be exchanged for money.

"Ah, since you keep your mouth shut, I'm not afraid to tell you." Aunt Luo approached Zhan Xinyue and whispered, "My good-for-nothing daughter has fallen in love with Li Jian."

"I heard yesterday that Zhan Hongyan was arrested. I knew their marriage was ruined, and she asked me to find someone to act as a matchmaker."

Li Jian is tall and strong with regular features, so it's normal for girls to like him. Although he is a bit poor, most unmarried girls only care about feelings and not material conditions.

Aunt Luo's eldest daughter is 21 years old this year, which was considered an older single woman in the countryside in the 70s. She is not bad looking and just wants to find someone whose looks match hers. After choosing for a long time, she likes Li Jian's type.

"Fortunately, you revealed today that Liu Ruyan is Li Jian's wife. Otherwise, I don't know what they would do to my daughter if she married him."

Aunt Luo patted her chest, looking frightened, and began to scold Li Jian for being shameless, saying that he already had one child at home, yet he wanted to marry another one.

"This Liu Ruyan is such a scoundrel. She actually married her own man. She is trying to be old-fashioned. Taking a concubine for a man, bah! Does she really think she is the mistress of the house?"

"So, you have to take these eggs." Aunt Luo stuffed the eggs over again.

"Then I'd rather obey than be polite." Zhan Xinyue took it with a smile.

Aunt Luo thanked him profusely before hurried home. After this experience, her daughter knew that when choosing a man, one should not just look at his appearance, but his character is the most important.

As a mother, she also has to keep her eyes open and take care of things.

Zhan Xinyue was happy. She said goodbye to Aunt Luo, and walked home leisurely, holding the eggs in her left hand and the lotus leaf in her right hand.

Grandma was sitting in the yard sewing shoe soles. When she heard the door open, she knew Zhan Xinyue had returned. She quickly got up, ran into the room, hid the shoe soles and sewing box, took a palm-leaf fan, and came out yawning.

"Xinyue, you're back. I slept for a while after breakfast and just got up. I feel much better." After saying that, the old lady stretched.

Grandma Sheng had a bump on her head, so Zhan Xinyue asked her to take a good rest for the next two days and not to sew soles. She could only work secretly without her granddaughter-in-law knowing, for fear of being discovered.

Zhan Xinyue had already heard her grandmother's hurried footsteps, and she could guess that the old lady was secretly sewing shoe soles.

Zhan Xinyue didn't expose the truth. She had nothing to do for the next two days anyway, so she stayed at home to accompany her grandmother. She would go up the mountain to collect honey after the bump on her grandmother's head disappeared.

"Grandma, let's have lotus leaf rice today." Zhan Xinyue smiled and raised the lotus leaf and eggs in her hand: "The eggs were given to me by Aunt Luo."

The old lady took the eggs, clinked them two by two, and said in surprise, "They are all good eggs. Sister Luo has always been stingy, why did she suddenly become generous?"

Zhan Xinyue briefly explained the reason. After listening, Grandma Sheng began to scold Li Jian, "This man is not a good guy. He doesn't dare to openly acknowledge the identity of the child bride, and he wants to marry another one home."

"That's right." Zhan Xinyue agreed.

In her previous life, Zhan Xinyue was fooled. Although the two of them did not have sex due to her saliva allergy, she was deceived by that family for a long time.

In the previous life, Zhan Xinyue dragged their family to hell. As the saying goes, one life is one life. In this life, Zhan Xinyue has not been hurt by them. She thought that they should keep out of each other's way.

Unexpectedly, just after Zhan Hongyan died, this family set their sights on her again. Don't blame her for being rude.

Now, Li Jian and Liu Ruyan were taken to the Public Security Bureau. Even if their identities as enemy spies could not be confirmed, their relationship had been exposed, and they would definitely not be able to gain a foothold in the Changhong Brigade in the future.

"Liu Ruyan is not a good person either." Grandma Sheng helped put the eggs away and washed the lotus leaves with Zhan Xinyue. The old lady was busy with her hands and kept talking.

"It's been so many years since the liberation, but she can still tolerate her husband marrying again. I don't think she has any good intentions."

"I guess he's just not feeling well and wants to find someone to help out at home. These two are both black-hearted!"
