Chapter 16

Zhang Xiyue felt that the situation of the Yang family was complicated and that they would not be able to survive without a strong heart. She was glad that she was transported to the original owner’s body instead of Yang Tiantian.

In the Yang family, Mother Yang is the queen bee, and all the members of the Yang family are her tools. In order to enjoy everyone’s filial piety and service, Mother Yang never thought about dividing the family.

However, there is someone who is favored in her heart, that is her eldest son Yang Tianbao, who is a posthumous child.

Yang Tiantian glared at her mother angrily. It was all because of this old woman who refused to divide the family business. She couldn’t even do less.

The Yang family has six branches, and each branch takes turns to work. However, the eldest branch she belongs to takes on all the work assigned to it.

These days, besides working in the fields, I was so busy doing laundry and cooking that I didn’t even have time to breathe. Xiyue was already short of food, and many families in the village were borrowing food from the production team.

Grandma actually wanted to stew a chicken. Damn it, a chicken can lay at least 27 eggs a month. Yang Tiantian couldn’t eat stewed chicken at all. She could still taste it by frying an egg.

Yang Tiantian complained indignantly to her father, “Dad, my uncle wanted to eat chicken, so you just listened to me and stewed it for him? But there’s nothing to eat at home. Why? We are the only ones in the family who have jobs, yet we have to eat worse.”

“We can have one bite of the eggs, but there’s no way we’ll get a share of the chicken. I heard it all. It was my uncle who asked for chicken, and my grandma said she wasn’t feeling well and wanted to eat some chicken to replenish her body.”

She was desperate. Shen He wanted to fool around with her anyway. As a man, how could he refuse something that was delivered to his door? What’s more, she was so beautiful now. As long as she seized the opportunity, marrying into the Shen family would be better than staying in the Yang family.

Zhang Xiyue gave Yang Tiantian a thumbs up, saying that she was indeed the bravest woman in the Yang family. Haha, not all members of the Yang family were filial sons.

Yang Laosan married herself off to the Meng Changsheng family in the village. That family was not easy to mess with. Yang’s mother often asked for things, but was often beaten out.

Yang Tiantian got angry when she saw Zhang Xiyue’s playful smile. How could this woman be so lucky? She had capable and filial parents, and was spoiled by her brothers and sisters. She could eat and have fun without working. The more she thought about it, the angrier her face became.

I looked up at the sky in silence. God is not fair at all!

Mother Yang drooped her face and wiped her tears: “Dashan, your eldest daughter is not satisfied with me. I think you should find her a husband to marry. She can marry whoever offers the highest bride price, so that she won’t stay at home and make me angry. When I get angry, my health gets bad, and when I’m not feeling well, I want to eat good food.”

“Dashan, tell me, I haven’t remarried since your father passed away. I raised all of you brothers, but you’ve suffered so much, Dashan. If our family wasn’t so poor, I would have let you go to college. I asked someone to find you a job, and it cost our family 500 yuan. You’re the only one in the family.”

“Even the money for finding a job was shamelessly borrowed from every household, and I even kowtowed to them. Dashan, you can’t forget your roots. So many people in your family rely on your salary to survive. You are the head of the family, and you can still be manipulated by a little girl.”

This is how Yang’s mother always treated Yang Dashan. Yang Dashan was the only one among the Yang brothers who had a job. It was precisely because of this that Yang Dashan thought he was his mother’s favorite child.

Yang Dashan looked at his mother with the same look as a chick looks at its mother hen, with admiration overflowing in his eyes. He knew that his mother had him in her heart.

Yang Dashan scolded, “Tiantian, your grandma is not feeling well, so you deserve to eat something good. Shufen, just listen to your mother and ask Matchmaker Wang to find a husband for Tiantian. If she doesn’t have to go to the countryside, you can even get some betrothal money. Don’t all girls have to get married?”

“Shufen, we have three daughters. Let’s send them to the countryside. It’s our fault that we don’t have the ability to find jobs for our children. Only our eldest daughter has a city hukou, and that can’t be changed. Tiantian is disobedient and has been rebelling recently. Let’s let her get married and get some betrothal money to supplement the family income.”

Yang Tiantian screamed, “No, I won’t go to the countryside. As for my marriage, don’t bother me. I have my own ideas. Zhang Shufen, you have to understand clearly that your job is still for my biological mother to stay…”

“Yang Tiantian, your mother’s job was bought with your father’s salary. He saved it for three years. It’s not like this job just fell from the sky just because you opened your mouth.” Zhang Shufen interrupted.

“I don’t care anyway. If you sign me up to go to the countryside, I will put up big-character posters saying that you, Zhang Shufen, abused my stepdaughter and treated me like a servant, and that grandma favors boys over girls. I will also quit doing housework and take a break. I’ve been busy for so many years, it’s time for me to rest.” Yang Tiantian said and went out.

Mother Yang slapped her thigh and cried, “Dashan, look at your daughter! She’s trying to drive me to death! Which village doesn’t value boys? Girls are meant to get married, and married girls get beaten and scolded when they help their parents. I’m sobbing! She’s actually going to sue me.”

She beat her chest and cried, and Yang Dashan was distressed to comfort her, “Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely give you an explanation. I have so many sons and daughters, Tiantian is not a big deal. Don’t worry about her. Shufen, what are you doing standing there? Go with the second son’s wife and kill a chicken and stew it for Mom. She is old and needs nutrition.”

After Yang Tiantian left, Zhang Xiyue followed her. Shen Heke only had two days of home leave. If he missed this time, he would have no chance anymore.

Seeing Yang Tiantian go to find Shen He first, the two of them talked to each other from the heart.

Yang Tiantian held Shen He’s hand and said affectionately, “Brother He, I know you are leaving soon. Before you go, I want to give myself to you. I know I am not worthy of you. You will be an officer in the future. I can only marry a peasant and be a country girl for the rest of my life.”

“From now on, we won’t be able to contact each other. You will be the battalion commander, the regiment commander, the chief commander, and a great hero. As for me, I will be trapped in this small mountain village for the rest of my life. Brother He, please help me and leave me a memory.”

Zhang Xiyue got goosebumps when she heard this. She is really good at acting. There are very few beautiful women who can resist a man. They are irresponsible and proactive.

Today, Yang Tiantian wore a white dress with a plaid jacket on the outside. Her black hair was loose and she had a beautiful hairpin on her head. She looked pure and beautiful.

Instead of coercion, you’re using the beauty trap?

As expected, Shen He was very proud when he heard it. “Tiantian, I know you admire me, but I can’t do this. A woman should be clean before getting married. You can’t take chastity lightly, Tiantian…”

Before Shen He could finish, Yang Tiantian gave him a sweet kiss. After the kiss, Yang Tiantian said coquettishly, “Brother He, if you don’t give it to me, I will jump into the river and make you miss me for the rest of your life.”

Shen He was aroused: “Tiantian, don’t be a fool, I will help you.”

Finally, Yang Tiantian reached out and touched Shen He’s palm a few times, “See you at nine o’clock in the evening.”
