But clearly, Tian Xiaohe was not that kind of person.
Her mind was racing. Since she was here to thank them for saving her life, she must have brought a lot of good things.
No matter what, she had to take some of these good things home.
Also, Su Xiaocao owed this woman a life-saving debt, which was actually Su Xiaocao's, and had nothing to do with her.
She had to find a way to turn this into her own favor, at least to have some connection to it.
Her eyes darted around as she began to scheme.
Teacher Xie Nan, having navigated the world for so many years, how could she not see the thoughts in the woman's mind?
She never expected that such kind people as Su Changjiu and his wife would encounter such a daughter-in-law.
She wondered if this woman's character had ever caused trouble for her own Xiaocao.
Tian Xiaohe didn't know that she had already caused Xie Nan's displeasure.
She was still talking about how she taught Su Xiaocao to be helpful and kind, almost implying that if it weren't for her, Su Xiaocao wouldn't have helped anyone.
Su Xiaotian really couldn't listen anymore, so she had to brace herself and say, "Sister Xiaohe, when I came back this time, Sister Xiaocao asked me to bring gifts for your children."
Since she couldn't stop her from talking, she might as well take her away.
Tian Xiaohe didn't like Su Xiaotian. The fundamental reason was that years ago, when she wanted to open a shop, Su Xiaotian demanded twenty percent of the income, which she refused.
Seeing Li Zhuzi's wife doing so well in the county town, she became envious.
She heard that Li Zhuzi's wife had already made a lot of money, and she was jealous.
She regretted it, but she wouldn't admit she was wrong.
Then she kept brainwashing herself, saying that it was all Su Xiaotian's fault.
Over time, she became more and more convinced that it was all Su Xiaotian's fault, and if Su Xiaotian had given her the recipe back then, she would have been rich by now.
This kind of person has a very simple mindset. No matter when, they are never wrong; if something is wrong, it's always someone else's fault.
With this knot in her heart, Tian Xiaohe looked at Su Xiaotian with eyes that could be considered glaring.
Her words were even more impolite!
"You haven't given out the things Xiaocao got for my children yet, are you planning to keep them for yourself?"
Su Xiaotian: "..."
Forget it, no point arguing with this kind of person. Arguing would only make her angry.
Su Xiaotian had to go back to the main hall and take out the clothes and pens Su Xiaocao had bought for the two children from the bag she brought.
The clothes were complete sets, of very good quality. Each set cost twenty to thirty yuan, which was more than half a month's salary for Xiaocao.
Then, Su Xiaotian took out the rubber-soled shoes for Su's eldest son.
Tian Xiaohe looked at the clothes and pens and was satisfied. As for the rubber-soled shoes, although fashionable, they weren't particularly good items, and she was a bit disdainful.
It was not in vain that she supported Su Xiaocao's education, that unprofitable daughter.
She knew she bought clothes for her own children.
But when she saw Su Xiaotian zipping up the bag again, her face changed.
"You continue, why did you put the things away?"
Su Xiaotian looked at Tian Xiaohe, not understanding for a moment.
"Continue with what?"
"Take out the things, it's such a big bag, why did you only give me this little?"
"Sister Xiaocao only gave this much," Su Xiaotian rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"Did she not bring anything back for me, her hardworking and meritorious sister-in-law?" Tian Xiaohe asked, her eyes wide.
Su Xiaotian shook her head.
"I knew it, she's an ungrateful wretch. She doesn't consider me, her sister-in-law who worked hard to raise her, as family."
She was about to make a scene when she was reprimanded by the village head's wife.
"Tian Xiaohe, if you want to cry, go home. Su Xiaocao's parents are alive, so it's not your turn to raise her!"
Given Tian Xiaohe's personality, she would have refused.
But she suddenly remembered that there were outsiders present, and she was hoping this outsider would bring her some small fortune. Su Dan Novel Network
She quickly smiled obsequiously and said, "I'm really sorry, I just talk like this, please don't mind!"
Teacher Xie Nan frowned but didn't say much.
It was someone else's family affair, and she didn't need to comment too much.
"Sister-in-law, you're still not satisfied with this? Which sister-in-law buys a complete set of clothes for her nephew, and also brings pens? These pens don't look cheap, they must be very expensive! Oh, and there's a pair of rubber-soled shoes, these are good things, I went to the town's supply and marketing cooperative the other day, and they were sold out."
Naturally, the one who came to undermine her was Su Changjiu's second daughter-in-law, Zhang Caiyun.
Speaking of Zhang Caiyun, she was actually sensible and was quite good a few years ago.
But in recent years, Tian Xiaohe had become increasingly unreasonable, and seeing that Tian Xiaohe was about to drain her in-laws' savings, Zhang Caiyun also became unwilling to be outdone.
As a result, in the process of catching a mouse and damaging a jade vase, in the eyes of the villagers, both of them became synonymous with troublesome daughters-in-law.
Su Xiaotian didn't want to interact too much with these two, for fear of getting caught up in their family conflicts.
"Sister Caiyun, Sister Xiaocao also bought something for your children, please come in with me to get it."
After saying that, Su Xiaotian went inside.
Zhang Caiyun glanced at Tian Xiaohe and turned to follow Su Xiaotian inside.
As she passed Xie Nan, she glanced at her but didn't say much.
This woman looked very wealthy, and she didn't know why she was at her house.
But she hadn't heard that her family had such a wealthy relative.
But who knew, some people's conditions were not good before, but now many have improved.
If you don't look at anything else, just look at Su Xiaotian's family and Li Zhuzi, haven't they all become rich in recent years?
Seeing that Su Xiaotian was dressed like a young lady, it was clear that she was truly wealthy.
Xie Nan looked at Su Changjiu's two daughters-in-law and didn't know what to say.
It was fortunate that Xiaocao was a girl and would get married in the future. If they had to live together, she didn't know how these two would treat Xiaocao.
She began to consider whether to let Xiaocao stay in Beijing, away from these unreasonable sisters-in-law.
Whether Su Changjiu and his wife agreed or not.
Xie Nan had to worry that with two such sisters-in-law, Xiaocao's life would not be easy even in the provincial capital.
Giving so many things to two families, Xiaocao's child, wouldn't that be more than a month's salary gone?
Yet, these two families were ungrateful and only thought it wasn't enough.
Later, she would discuss with Su Changjiu and his wife to see if they could let the child stay in Beijing to pursue a master's degree or something.
Zhang Caiyun was a little smarter than Tian Xiaohe. When she went in with Su Xiaotian to get the clothes, she smiled and inquired with Su Xiaotian.
However, Su Xiaotian only said that she was here to thank Xiaocao, that Xiaocao had saved Xie Nan, and that Teacher Xie Nan was grateful to Su Changjiu and his wife for raising such a good daughter.
After asking for a long time without getting any useful information, Zhang Caiyun stopped wasting time and turned to praise Xiaotian.
