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

"Auntie, tell me quickly!"

"If you do something wrong, you have to apologize."

She then turned to Chi Yue and asked, "Is that right?"

Chi Yue nodded very seriously and cooperatively.

Just ...

She really wanted to laugh!

Then she squatted down and said, "My shoelace is untied."

But in those days, shoes were all open-toed cloth shoes, with at most a shoelace loop fastened there, and no knotted shoelaces at all.

Chi Yue squatted there, her shoulders shaking, and mumbled again, "My shoelace came undone."

He Lianlian "..."

What sins have you committed?

Her arm was throbbing with pain from the beating, and then she had to say sorry?

He Lianlian thought that Wen Tang had a problem with his brain, but her brain was fine, so she didn't intend to pay any attention to Wen Tang, who had a problem with his brain.

She just rubbed her arm, wanting to leave.

But Wen Tang didn't give her a chance to escape. Wen Tang grabbed her sleeve and kept saying, "Auntie, you haven't apologized to me yet."

"If you do something wrong, you should apologize. Parents and teachers teach children this when they are young."

"Auntie, didn't anyone teach you?"

He Lianlian "..."

She wanted to hit someone.

Why is this person so single-minded?

The idiot in the next brigade is just like her.

Thinking this, He Lianlian looked at Zhong Meixian, hoping she could persuade her daughter-in-law.

It would have been better if she hadn't looked at Zhong Meixian; once she did, Zhong Meixian gave her a big eye roll.

The reason she rolled her eyes at her was twofold: firstly, because she was the one who caused the commotion yesterday; and secondly, because Zhong Meixian still felt that if Wen Tang hadn't "thumped" down there yesterday, she might not have gotten her period.

If I don't get my period, my grandson might come.

It's all He Lianlian's fault.

So Zhong Meixian naturally didn't give her a friendly look.

Zhong Meixian's eye roll made He Lianlian think that the entire Gu family must have something wrong with their brains.

That's true. If there were no problems, would a married woman in the family, who is already several decades old, still argue with her husband about separating?

Thinking that this whole family was mentally unstable, He Lianlian didn't want to argue any further. She could only reluctantly say to Wen Tang, "I'm sorry, Auntie scared you just now. I apologize."

As she spoke, she seemed to want to roll her eyes and fly to the sky.

However, due to the overwhelming number of the other side, he held back.

Although she spoke reluctantly, Wen Tang didn't mind.

Wen Tang smiled radiantly, "It's alright, it's alright, Auntie. As the old saying goes, a good child is one who knows their mistakes and can correct them."

He Lianlian "..."

"Hehe," she forced a laugh, not wanting to speak, and then strained her arm to pull her sleeve out of Wen Tang's hand.

Wen Tang had slender arms, legs, and waist, but even so, He Lianlian struggled for a long time without managing to pull her sleeve out. She could only grit her teeth...

"oops……"

With a startled cry, He Lianlian nearly fell backward from the force she had used.

but……

Wen Tang put her arm around her waist and winked at her playfully, "Auntie, didn't your family teach you to apologize when you do something wrong, or that you shouldn't be reckless?"

He Lianlian "..."

Originally, Wen Tang caught her to prevent her from falling, and He Lianlian felt she shouldn't have cursed her like that in her heart, but the words she spoke...

He Lianlian: This person is definitely out of their mind.

As if she had seen a ghost, He Lianlian fled back to her own yard at the fastest speed she had ever been, not forgetting to curse as soon as she was in safety, "You brat, I don't know where you got so much strength."

Wen Tang: I'm so young, only in my early twenties. Surely I'm not so weak that I don't even have the strength of an adult?

It's just laziness, not that it's actually a useless little snack!

Wen Tang's words were carried by the wind to her ears again, "Auntie, although you looked disheveled when you almost fell, you looked even more disheveled when you ran away."

He Lianlian immediately rushed into the house and closed the door tightly, even in broad daylight.

When her daughter-in-law finished her chores and saw her rushing into the house, she quickly asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

He Lianlian said through the door, "Go do your work, I have a headache, I'm going to lie down for a while."

"Oh!"

"Mother, I think someone from Third Aunt's family has come."

"Go do your work. Don't pry into other people's business."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lao Er's daughter-in-law rolled her eyes on the spot.

Then he silently said, "Yes, yes, everyone else is just asking around, but you're the only one who's talking seriously."

But the daughter-in-law didn't dare say this to her mother-in-law.

Peeking out, Zhong Meixian led Wen Tang and the others into the courtyard, guided by Wang Ying.

Gu Jin, who was sitting alone in the room, seemed to have heard the noise and came out of the room.

Seeing that it was Zhong Meixian leading Gu Yanli and the others, they quickened their pace to greet them, "What brings you here?"

Zhong Meixian held up the basket she was carrying in front of her. "Well, Yan Li went out this morning and picked up a few wild duck eggs. I thought I'd bring some to you."

When Zhong Meixian saw her come out of the west wing, she asked, "Have you moved here?"

Gu Jin nodded and invited them in, "I live alone and I think it's perfectly fine."

Zhong Meixian and the others followed them into the house. The side room wasn't big, but Gu Jin lived there alone and didn't have many things.

It consisted of a narrow, old bed, two faded red lacquered wooden chests, and a wood-burning stove by the door, the mud still not completely dry.

Once Wen Tang and the others entered the house, it was so crowded that they couldn't turn around. They then quietly retreated to stand outside the door.

Wang Ying, Zhang Fen, and Li Juan were all nice people; they helped bring stools from the Xu family's main room.

"Aunt, cousin, cousin's wife, and Jing Shen's family, please have a seat," Wang Ying said.

Wen Tang accepted the stool with both hands and thanked her brightly, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Wang Ying said, "Hey, why are you being so polite with me?"

"Well, please sit down. Juan'er and I will go get you some brown sugar water."

"Fen'er, you shouldn't run around while holding the baby," Zhang Fen said, holding an eight-month-old baby in her arms. She had just helped move a stool.

Zhang Fen simply sat down as well.

Since Aunt Zhong Meixian has come, it's only right that they keep her company and chat with her.

Moreover, Zhang Fen felt that there were many things she liked to hear said today, so she didn't want to move.

Zhang Fen sat down, but Wen Tang didn't ask anyone to pour brown sugar water. "Sister-in-law, you and second sister-in-law should sit down too. We're not strangers, and we're not far apart. If you're not thirsty, don't be shy!"

Zhong Meixian also said, "Yes, Yingzi, you don't need to bother. We just came to see your mother and will leave in a little while."

Wang Ying then stopped working.

He sat down as well.

Fortunately, the three of them had brought quite a few stools, so each of them could have one now.

Everyone was seated, and the gossip began.

Wen Tang was playing with the child in Zhang Fen's arms when she heard her mother-in-law ask, "You started cooking by yourself last night?"
