Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Chi Yue nodded hurriedly, "What kind of good person would look at someone like that!"

"that is."

The two of them huddled together, whispering to each other.

Gu Yanli, who was a few steps away from them, could only hear their voices but couldn't make out what they were whispering about, and he was too embarrassed to go closer to find out.

I could only follow at a distance that wasn't too close or too far.

It's unclear how long the Luo family stood by the roadside talking, but no car followed them until Wen Tang and the others reached the supply and marketing cooperative.

However, when they were weighing things at the supply and marketing cooperative, a car roared past, kicking up dust.

The employees of the East-West Supply and Marketing Cooperative couldn't help but gossip with Wen Tang and the others, "Which direction did you come from? Do you know where this leader came from?"

"What are you doing in our shabby little place?"

Wen Tang and Chi Yue are such a cute gossipmonger.

Wen Tang immediately leaned against the counter, looking like someone in the know, "You didn't know this, did you?"

Upon seeing this, the supply and marketing cooperative employee tied the weighed goods shut and approached, asking, "You know that, right?"

Wen Tang blinked and nodded, "I'll tell you..."

Then she vividly recounted how the rich girl from the city insisted on coming to the countryside for a rural education program.

The supply and marketing cooperative employee was astonished upon hearing this, exclaiming, "My goodness, is someone really asking for trouble?"

Wen Tang winked at the other person, "You wouldn't dare say that!"

The female employee immediately covered her mouth, giving a knowing look, and took out a few candies from her pocket, giving them to Wen Tang and Chi Yue. "It's a good thing I ran into you two, otherwise I wouldn't have known that such an absurd thing could happen."

Here, have some candy, don't be picky!

Chi Yue and Wen Tang naturally didn't mind, thanked them happily, and then left the supply and marketing cooperative with their purchases.

The baskets the two carried to dig for wild vegetables were almost full.

Originally, the two of them only came to buy melon seeds, but because they brought Gu Yanli with them, they not only bought melon seeds, but also biscuits, fruit candies, and peach shortbread, filling a small basket to the brim.

On the way back, Wen Tang looked at the nearly full basket and said to Gu Yanli, "Look, this basket is filled with too much stuff. If we go to dig for wild vegetables again, we definitely won't be able to fit it all in, will we?"

Gu Yanli coughed tactically again, then nodded in approval, "Mm!"

Wen Tang and Chi Yue happily carried a basket of food back home.

The journey to the supply and marketing cooperative takes about an hour and a half, whether walking back or forth.

I got home before 3 p.m.

However, since it's winter, the sun has already lost its heat.

Zhong Meixian sat in the sun, close to the wall, otherwise she felt it was windy.

She was mending a thick cotton-padded coat.

That was Gu Juyuan's cotton-padded coat. The weather was getting colder every day, and he might have to wear it someday, so it always had to be mended first.

Holding a needle and thread, she sewed and mended the clothes stitch by stitch. Looking at the densely stitched clothes, the old lady thought to herself: I am really good at managing a household. I have been making new clothes for three years, old clothes for three years, and mending and patching for another three years. No wonder I was able to raise five children!

When he looked up, the sky had fallen.

Hearing a noise at the door, Zhong Meixian guessed that Wen Tang and the others had returned.

I looked up, and yes, they were indeed back.

Wen Tang was a very outgoing child. As soon as she entered the door, she greeted everyone loudly, "Mom, are you sewing clothes?"

Zhong Meixian: Yes, she's sewing clothes!

So she's been saving money for the past three years and spending it lavishly, right?

"You...you said you were going to dig for wild vegetables, didn't you?"

Wen Tang said honestly, "Yes, Yueyue, Yanli, and I walked along and didn't see any wild vegetables. We thought that if there weren't any near the brigade, there would definitely be some further ahead. So we kept walking and walking, and who knew we would end up at the supply and marketing cooperative."

As Wen Tang spoke, she took out the fruit candies that the supply and marketing cooperative employee had given her from her pocket, walked over and handed them to Zhong Meixian. "When we got to the supply and marketing cooperative, the people there who sold things gave us candies," she said, pointing to herself and Chi Yue.

"I thought, since they've been so polite, I can't just leave without buying anything!"

Then she placed the entire basket in front of Zhong Meixian, saying, "So I bought these things to give to you."

Zhong Meixian "..."

She looked at the basket of melon seeds, candy, biscuits, and peach shortbread, and said that these were gifts for her.

There's no way she'd believe that!

Holding her anger in her heart, Zhong Meixian turned her face away and said, "I won't eat it. I don't like these snacks."

Upon hearing this, Wen Tang immediately snapped her fingers. "I know, Mom is just being considerate and wants to save it for me, right?"

After Wen Tang finished speaking, she was filled with emotion. "Everyone says that a mother-in-law is not a mother, but Mom, you are more like my own mother than my own mother."

She was so moved she couldn't speak, but she still said, "Mom, don't worry, when you get old, I will definitely take good care of you, like I would take care of you during your postpartum period, and cook six meals for you a day."

Zhong Meixian "..."

If she hadn't been leaning against the wall, she would have fainted from anger.

Unfortunately, Wen Tang had a backup plan. Seeing Zhong Meixian leaning against the wall, speechless with anger, Chi Yue added insult to injury, "Look how moved you are to Grandma, she's so moved she can't even speak."

Wen Tang, quite shameless, said with her head held high, "As the old saying goes, 'Ten years to judge a woman by her mother-in-law, ten years to judge her by her daughter-in-law.' I'm willing to be so good to my mother because she's good to me!"

“Look, I bought so many things back, and Mom didn’t say anything.”

"Then I definitely have to be good to my mom!"

“If it were an unreasonable person who would scold me and criticize me whenever she saw me buying things, I definitely wouldn’t be filial to her.”

"Not only are they unfilial, but when they get old, I'll beat them every two days and every three days."

“Beat the old men on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; beat the old women on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; and give them a good beating on Sundays.”

Chi Yue chimed in, "Yes, when you encounter someone who's unreasonable, you should teach them a lesson."

Zhong Meixian finally mustered some energy and quickly waved her hand, trying to avoid seeing it and getting annoyed. If she listened any longer, she would really be driven crazy.

Seeing her wave, Wen Tang said, "Since Mom left this for me to eat, I'll take it back to my room first!"

She carried her things in one hand and held Chi Yue's hand with the other as they went back into the house.

Gu Yanli was left alone in the courtyard.

Looking at her son, Zhong Meixian became even more energetic. She glared at him and said, "Can't you hear what she's saying?"

Gu Yanli also found a stool and sat down, then nodded, "I heard you. When you get old, I will take good care of you, like a woman in confinement, and cook six meals a day for you."

Zhong Meixian "..."

"She said she beats the old man every two days and the old woman every three days, beating him on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and beating him on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Can't you hear her?"

Zhong Meixian really wanted to pry open her son's ears to see how they were shaped, as he seemed to selectively listen to everything.

After Zhong Meixian finished speaking, Gu Yanli said without even raising his eyelids, "I didn't just hit you, I hit me too."

After he finished speaking, he pointed to his chin, helping Zhong Meixian regain her memory.
