Chapter 675: Chapter 644: Familiar, Come Out_1

Third Grandma Qi sighed after listening but did not speak.

Qi Shuli is no good, and that Li Mingkai is no good person either!

"Hehe, that sounds quite lively," He Tiantian said, "By the way, Li Mingkai didn’t go to college last year, so he should have taken the college entrance exam this year, right?"

"He did," Qi Daniu said, "The admission notice hasn’t arrived yet, so I don’t know if he got accepted. But now I think Li Mingkai isn’t worried about whether he got accepted or not, it’s whether he can actually get the notice and go to college if he did."

Qi Daniu giggled like a little hamster.

"Hehe," He Tiantian laughed, "The Qi household will probably be even more lively in the future. Oh, I remember there was Lin Xiaoru who didn’t get in last year, did she take the exam this year?"

"She did!" Qi Daniu said, "It seems she applied to some school in Nan City, not sure if she can get in. I heard that Lin Xiaoru was studying with Li Mingkai all the time, and rumor has it, Qi Zhenzhen has had quite a few arguments with Li Mingkai because of it. Sometimes she even blocked and scolded Lin Xiaoru; anyway, the village is quite bustling."

"You’re still in school, where did you hear all this from?" He Tiantian asked with a chuckle, Qi Daniu’s busybody nature was becoming more and more apparent.

"Hehe," Qi Daniu laughed, "I have three days off every month, and I often go home. Then my mum tells me all about what’s happening in the village, so I know."

"No wonder!" He Tiantian laughed behind her hand, "You’re like the little loudspeaker of Qijia Village."

"Hehe, I know you won’t go there to watch the drama but still want to know, so I come and tell you. In front of others, I wouldn’t talk so much," Qi Daniu explained, denying the nickname "little loudspeaker."

"Daniu is a good girl," Third Grandma Qi praised, liking Daniu very much.

She has a kind heart, is compassionate, and knows what to say and what not to say, truly a good girl.

Her granddaughter, Qi Zhengmin, also got along well with Daniu.

"By the way, Sister Tiantian, be careful, I just saw Qi Fangfang," Qi Daniu reminded, "Qi Fangfang has become unpredictable and gloomy, looking quite frightful."

"Yeah!" He Tiantian said, "I’ll be careful."

As for Qi Fangfang, He Tiantian had no fond feelings to spare.

The more misfortune they had, the happier He Tiantian was.

Besides, she was only going to stay there for one month; just avoiding Qi Fangfang would be fine.

Afterward, Qi Daniu talked to He Tiantian about other things in the village, giving her a better understanding of life in Qijia Village.

Huo Yingjie had been meditating silently on the side, quietly listening.

Qi Fangfang, Qi Jianguo?

Hehe, just wait and see!

Qijia Village is now quite large, with over eight hundred people, including adults and children.

With so many people, there came all kinds of conflicts, competition, children fighting, adults in friction, disputes over land rights...

He Tiantian heard a lot about village life.

Such life, though trivial, was quite interesting.

In her previous life, He Tiantian was fed up with such an environment; but now as an observer, she wasn’t fed up, instead, she particularly enjoyed listening.

Huo Yingjie found this He Tiantian both amusing and distressing.

His little wife truly was interesting...

Sometimes dignified like a snow lotus on high mountains... seemingly unreachable.

Sometimes lively like an oriole, bringing joy to those around her.

And sometimes, like a blooming peony, delicate and beautiful, magnificently opulent.

But at this moment, He Tiantian was just a country gossip, whispering incessantly, sharing the long and short of other households, leaving the talkers animated and the listeners engrossed.

But whatever she was like, Huo Yingjie liked her, cherished her.

This must be what love is all about!

In the blink of an eye, Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian had already stayed in Qijia Village for ten days.

Qi Xiaoyan and Niu Dajun would bring the children to Qijia Village every Sunday.

He Tiantian liked such peacefulness and liveliness.

Huo Yingjie, with a wife and children, was satisfied, feeling the same anywhere.

During this time, Huo Yingjie had picked a lot of excellent herbs from the hills, crafting many strengthening and health-improving pills. He gave some to Grandma Qi and Grandpa Qi, claiming they were health products from above. If they felt unwell or lackluster, they could take one.

As there were plenty, He Tiantian kept two bottles, planning to send them to her grandmother and parents far away abroad.

Amid a relaxed and peaceful life, there were still some underlying concerns.

Qi Fangfang went to the county town to deliver some food to her brother.

Qi Fangfang’s brother was Qi Jianguo, who had been released from jail two months ago.

Ever since entering prison, Qi Jianguo was tormented, often beaten up for no reason. His leg was already in bad shape and worsened as he got beaten until he became lame and shuffled when walking.

He also became weakened, haggard, aged much, and was no longer the promising young man of Qijia Village.

Qi Fangfang sat in her brother’s cramped room, her eyes dull and lifeless.

"Fangfang, what are you thinking about?" Qi Jianguo asked softly. In prison, he was full of resentment and discontent, but he also knew if he wanted to get out early, he had to behave.

Because of his good behavior, and because the prison was overcrowded, Qi Jianguo was released.

Once out, Qi Jianguo felt as if everything had changed.

He learned from his family that He Tiantian had gotten married, moved back to the city, and even had her own child.

Since he had not seen He Tiantian, Qi Jianguo, despite hating her, had no chance to take any action.

"Nothing much," Qi Fangfang said, "Brother, let’s move to a better place. Your body is weak as it is, living in such a place is even worse for your health."

Qi Jianguo waved his hand dismissively and said, "It’s fine, I’m a man, I can live anywhere. You’re still in school, and our parents and grandma are getting on in years. I can’t do the housework, so I have to earn what I can by fixing bicycles to provide for them."

"Brother!" Qi Fangfang’s eyes reddened, her brother was so good and so filial, how could he end up like this?
