Tongtong thought about it, and understood why Song Ping was so quick to give her the reason.

"Sis, all those thousand yuan are yours."

Liu Mingming thought about it, "Alright." When my sister gets married, I’ll give her a thousand.

"Sis. Are you coming back with me?"

"In the evening, I’ll come over with your brother-in-law. You have to be cautious of Song Ping and her mother. She wants Shanshan to marry them. With such good conditions given to you, of course, she isn’t happy."

"Got it." Actually, the two sisters weren’t particularly close, it’s just that they came from the same mother, so they were slightly closer.

In the afternoon, Meng Lin said to Mr. Tao, "Grandpa, I want to go see that family."

"Meng Lin, that family has already fallen apart."

"Oh?"

"The man was sent to a labor camp, and the other three’s situation you can see for yourself." Mr. Tao handed her a document after speaking.

Wang Menglin finished reading it. Her face carried a kind of expression that seemed like crying and laughing.

Years of resentment finally dissipated.

"Grandpa, I understand now, I feel relieved in my heart."

"As long as you understand." The Tao Family must have intervened, and such an outcome was also an explanation to his deceased daughter. No matter how miserable they are, at least they are alive. But his poor and hateful mother has already passed away.

Mr. Tao was quite satisfied with his granddaughter’s performance.

On the morning of the next day, Tao Chunhe rode his bike to the Liu Family.

"You came?"

"Yeah, let’s go to my house today."

"Can I trouble you with something?"

"What’s up?"

"Come see."

The two entered Liu Tongtong’s bedroom. Seeing the setup inside, Tao Chunhe knew his future wife had never considered this place her home.

"This is my mom’s dowry. My grandpa decided to give it back to me. Since we don’t have a ceremony, I thought about moving it to your place."

Tao Chunhe squatted down and opened the box for a glance.

He immediately wondered if this would harm the Tao Family. But looking at the girl eagerly staring at him.

"This is your mom’s dowry?"

"Yes, everything is given to me in full.

I know this might be a bit troublesome for your family, but I don’t want to lose it."

She leaned closer to Tao Chunhe, "After getting to your house, leave the box there, then find a safe place for the rest, and of course, don’t have to tell me." She said, winking.

Tao Chunhe smiled, understanding the girl’s intentions; it was a good opportunity to see the Liu Family.

"Alright, I came here on a bike. Just put it on the back seat."

"Okay."

Tao Chunhe gave a meaningful glance at Liu Tongtong, seeing her expression unchanged.

Tao Chunhe carried the box straight out. Then, with just a few words, they left like that.

The two houses weren’t close. After about forty minutes, they arrived at the Tao Family.

Liu Tongtong directly packed everything from the box into another box and gave it to Tao Chunhe, along with the dowry list.

"You don’t need to tell me where you put it, give it to me when there’s an opportunity in the future."

"Why do it like this?"

"No reason? It’s a way to show my sincerity to you, and besides, Song Ping giving me this quickly, I couldn’t believe it myself. It’s better that there are no harmful intentions; if they really wanted to harm me, should I just wait passively?"

Tao Chunhe suddenly grabbed Liu Tongtong’s hand. He liked clever women, and Liu Tongtong seemed quite good.

"Good."

They packed some current books in the box, and the jewelry box contained some essays and letters.

Wang Menglin and Tao YanZhen heard the commotion and came out, seeing the two entering the brother’s room. At that time, it wasn’t suitable to disturb, so they waited with the children in the living room. However, it took a long time.

The two of them finished arranging and came out from the room, seeing the two women sitting in the living room. Liu Tongtong knew who they were.

All were smart people. Since the Tao Family had accepted her, she must have her advantages, so Tao YanZhen and Wang Menglin smiled and greeted Liu Tongtong.

The three chatted more and more happily. There was a bit of mutual admiration. The two sisters also accepted Liu Tongtong as the eldest sister-in-law.

Mrs. Tao had already gone to work and couldn’t take leave now. She would wait a few days when the son gets married to take a few days off.

"Meng Lin, your twins are so cute." Women generally like kids.

"They’re too naughty. After spending enough time, you’ll know. Sometimes they’re particularly annoying."

"But looking at the smile on your face doesn’t seem like that."

At noon, the four young people accompanied Mr. Tao for lunch.

Mr. Tao already knew about Liu Tongtong’s actions and was very satisfied with this smart girl.

Such people are like ’I respect you a foot, you respect me a yard.’ If you wrong them, they’ll definitely return it double.

"Tongtong, there’s no ceremony, it must be a grievance to you."

"Grandpa Tao, I can understand, I don’t care about those trivialities."

"It’s best if you can understand. Although there’s no betrothal gift, you’ll receive what you’re due, all converted into money for you."

Liu Tongtong didn’t act coy, thanked Mr. Tao with a smile.

This behavior made the Tao Family hold her in even higher regard.

After the meal, the couple went out for a walk. Tao Chunhe hadn’t been home for several years, and Liu Tongtong had only been back for a short while, so neither were too familiar, and they strolled around outside.

"Cousin, this sister-in-law is alright."

"Hmm, I think she’s good too, a smart person."

"That’s good. Being too smart isn’t always good. The two of us need to treat her well in the future. Actually, she’s a cold person. But we must not let her be disheartened."

Wang Menglin smiled, "I’m also a cold person, but I know as long as it’s not substantial harm, we all need a stable home."

Tao YanZhen laughed, "Yes, we’re really a family, we walked into the same door."

Tao Chunhe and Liu Tongtong didn’t go to any big buildings or supply and marketing cooperatives; they just strolled down the street, talking about their lives.

Liu Tongtong looked forward to the Li Family Village.

"Are you willing to go?"

Liu Tongtong raised an eyebrow, "I grew up in the countryside, living here makes me uncomfortable."

"Hmm, after the wedding, we’ll stay at home for a few days and then go to the Capital with Xiao Zhen, and then directly return to Li Family Village."

"Yeah, as the eldest brother and sister-in-law, cousin should of course go back together. Honestly, I just want to leave here immediately, I feel even the air isn’t breathable here. I yearn to not be with them, to breathe different air."

Tao Chunhe laughed at Tongtong’s words, liking this girl.
