A lucky little peasant girl is reborn and brings prosperity to her entire family.

Tian Denghua was in a great mood. When she saw Song Yueping, that scoundrel son, she only felt disgusted for a moment and rolled her eyes at him. Then, she cheerfully told Song Yueping about the matter briefly.

He then added, "From now on, Old Man Su is a proper relative of our family. You kids should all go and visit him during holidays, understand?"

"Oh." Song Yueping breathed a sigh of relief and responded. He stared blankly at the eight red lacquered wooden boxes on the ground, lost in thought.

Song Yanyan had been staring at Song Yueping. Seeing this, she asked directly, "Second Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Song Yueping came back to her senses, shook her head, and said with some melancholy, "I was just thinking, what would Cuihong do if she saw all this?... But I've also come to understand that Cuihong and I are ultimately not on the same path."

Tian Denghua was fairly satisfied with Song Yueping's answer.

"Alright, alright, our lives are getting better every day, so don't be discouraged." Tian Denghua was in a great mood. "If you count the days, your older brother and sister-in-law should be back soon. When they come back and see all these new things in the house, they'll be so happy."

Song Yanyan nodded repeatedly.

She figured it out.

That Luo Jinyu, that real heiress, might really be a jinx. In this life, her family didn't take her in. Look at their current life: her sister-in-law's pregnancy is safe, her second brother's love-struck brain has been somewhat cured, and even the family's money is increasing day by day. Their life is getting better and better!

……

Song Risheng and Qi Lian returned on the tenth day of the month.

Because Qi Lian was pregnant, she stayed at her parents' home for a while longer. Qi Lian wanted to stay longer, but her younger brother's new wife complained that Song Risheng and Qi Lian were staying at her parents' home for too long. She said a few sarcastic things behind Qi Lian's back, which Qi Lian overheard.

Even though Qi's parents scolded Qi Lian's sister-in-law after they found out, Qi Lian still dragged Song Risheng back home feeling wronged.

Qi Lian was a little embarrassed because it involved her maternal family and didn't want to talk about it. But when Tian Denghua asked, Song Risheng, with his simple and honest mind, blurted out everything.

He was still indignant on behalf of his wife.

When they returned to Qi Lian's parents' home this time, Tian Denghua prepared plenty of gifts for them.

It included cloth, pork, and fish.

Each one is substantial!

When Qi Lian returned to the village, she was very proud!

As a result, she only stayed at her parents' house for seven or eight days before her sister-in-law started gossiping.

That's absolutely outrageous!

Upon hearing this, Tian Denghua realized that her pregnant daughter-in-law had been wronged at her parents' home, so she immediately made a decision: "Eldest son, the Lantern Festival is almost here. I'll cut some cured lamb ribs and a piece of cured lamb leg for you, and prepare some other things. You can send them to your father-in-law's family tomorrow!"

Song Risheng and Qi Lian were both a little confused: "Mom, where did you get these cured lamb chops and legs?"

Tian Denghua smugly led Song Risheng and Qi Lian to the inner room behind the main house, separated by a door. She then proudly opened all eight red lacquered wooden boxes for Song Risheng and Qi Lian to see, and then recounted the story of Song Xingming and Song Yanyan saving people a few days ago. Song Risheng and Qi Lian exclaimed "Wow!" and "Ouch!" in surprise.

Tian Denghua was very pleased with herself.

Qi Lian looked at the contents of the eight red lacquered wooden boxes with great joy. She stroked the boxes and said happily, "Mother, these boxes are great too. They can be used as dowry boxes for Yan Yan later."

“That’s what I was thinking too.” Tian Denghua glanced at Qi Lian. “Eldest daughter-in-law, there are two boxes of cloth and one box of furs here. I plan to leave one box of cloth and half a box of furs for Yan Yan as her dowry. You don’t have any objections, do you?”

Although Qi Lian was very envious, she still shook her head: "Mother, what are you saying? These things were originally given to Yan Yan and Third Brother by others."

Tian Denghua gave Qi Lian a satisfied look.

"Don't worry, we're family. We won't shortchange you. When spring comes, we'll all make you a few more clothes. Oh, and this..." Tian Denghua rummaged through the box and pulled out a piece of fine cloth.

The fabric was hibiscus-colored, embroidered with hibiscus flowers and leaves, a pattern that was both dignified and elegant.

“I think this piece of cloth suits your mother and me quite well,” Tian Denghua said. “Cut ten feet of this cloth in a bit, and have the eldest son take it to your house tomorrow. I saw a wealthy lady in the county wearing a similar style last time; it looked so elegant and impressive. I’m planning to have one made for her to wear when I go out, and I’ll have your mother have one made too.”

Qi Lian was so moved that she couldn't speak.

Her mother-in-law was too kind. All these things belonged to her third brother and Yan Yan. Even if her third brother and Yan Yan split them equally and didn't give her, as the eldest sister-in-law, she had nothing to say.

But her mother-in-law not only wanted to give her these things, but also had her eyes on her own family!

How could Qi Lian not have tears in her eyes?

"Lamp wick, lamp wick!"

Shouts came from outside the courtyard.

Tian Denghua recognized the voice as Li Xiuli's, who was on good terms with her, and called out, "Hey! I'm here! Wait a minute!"

Tian Denghua instructed Qi Lian to cut the cloth with Song Risheng before hurriedly leaving the house.

Li Xiuli was on good terms with Tian Denghua. At this moment, she was holding a handful of melon seeds and leaning against the gate of Tian Denghua's courtyard. It was obvious that she had come to chat with Tian Denghua.

Upon seeing her posture, Tian Denghua laughed: "What new news is there now?"

"Did you know? Song Pan'er from Song Laosan's family is engaged." Li Xiuli cracked some melon seeds and winked mysteriously at Tian Denghua. "It's that family she was looking at during the New Year, from the city!"

Although Tian Denghua didn't care much about Song Laosan's family, she was still somewhat concerned about Song Pan'er's marriage, since they were all girls from the Song family.

After all, if something goes wrong with Song Pan'er, it could damage Yan Yan's reputation.

Tian Denghua's ears perked up, and she lowered her voice: "How come I've never heard of this? Where did you hear it from?"

“As you know, my husband’s older brother, my brother-in-law, is a minor official in the county government, writing clerks. His whole family lives in the county town. The family that’s engaged to Song Pan’er lives just across the alley from my brother-in-law!… My brother-in-law heard that the family had a girl engaged in the countryside, and after inquiring, he found out it was from our village.” Li Xiuli lowered her voice and gestured towards Song Laosan’s house, “…I heard that Song Pan’er’s birth chart is auspicious, a lucky wife. They’ll be formally proposing marriage in a couple of days. You just wait and see. Knowing your mother-in-law’s personality, once they come to propose, she’ll definitely come over here to brag, and she might even try to take your things.”

Tian Denghua shook her head: "It's fine in the past, but if Song Pan'er really finds a good family, I'm willing to give her a dowry. A woman's marriage is a major event in her life, almost like being reincarnated. Although I don't get along with Song Pan'er's mother, at least my Yan Yan calls her 'sister'!"

Li Xiuli laughed and said, "I knew it! You may have a sharp tongue, but you're actually incredibly kind!"

The two chatted and laughed, and talked about other everyday things.

No one expected that just two hours later, Aunt Zhao Laidi, with a pale face, came to ask Tian Denghua and Song Yanyan if they had seen Song Pan'er.

Song Pan'er has disappeared!
