With the help of the villagers, Zhao Chuchu’s things were very quickly unpacked.
Zhao Chuchu had initially planned to stay at the Gan residence. However, now that she had seen that her house in the village was the same as before, she decided to stay in the village.
‘Grandma Chen, could you help me? I brought these back from the capital. Could you distribute them among the villagers?” asked Zhao Chuchu as she took out the gifts she had bought. “Just like before, everyone else will have a share aside from those we omitted.”
“Child, why did you spend so much on gifts? Doesn’t Da Lang still need to study? He will need money for many matters. It is better for you to save up a bit. Now, we have the income from the watermill workshop. We are not short on food like before,” Old Mrs. Chen scolded Zhao Chuchu.
Zhao Chuchu smiled and said, “I have been away for a long time. These trinkets don’t cost much. They are just novelties for the children to try out. Alright, Grandma Chen, please help me give them out. I need to put away other stuff.”
“Alright,” replied Old Mrs. Chen when she saw Zhao Chuchu so insistent. She
did not say any more. With a few other women, they distributed the goods.
Zhao Chuchu brought the souvenirs and went to deliver them to the villagers.
She heard that Zhao Guitang and his wife had moved to the town to sell tofu. Now, their days were booming with activity.
Zhao Meilan and Hu Yiming’s relationship was going well. They had returned to the village just last month.
Old Mrs. Chen sighed, “Meilan can be considered fortunate. The young master of the Hu clan treats her very well. Everyone says that Zhao Meijuan has no luck turning down such a good man. However, if Zhao Meijuan’s family had treated everyone nicer, they wouldn’t have fallen to their current state.”
“They deserve it. They only have themselves to blame.”
Zhao Chuchu had not a shred of compassion for Old Man Zhao and the others.
Chuchu vividly remembered how they tortured the original owner of her body.
Even if they had fallen so low that they would beg her for food, Zhao Chuchu would not bat an eye at them.
She did not care about family affection and filial piety. She was also not worried that other people would attack her over this.
Her abilities and mental fortitude were strong enough. No one could stand against her!
As for Xie Heng, she did not need to worry about him at all.
In his previous life, even when faced with countless adversaries, he managed to turn the tables around and triumph over his opponents. In this life, he would even more so not be threatened by anyone.
“That’s right. Is there any good news from Meilan?” Zhao Chuchu thought of another matter. People of this age got married and had kids early. She considered Zhao Meilan as her younger sister. Even though they communicated with each other via letters, the contents of Zhao Meilan’s letters were simple since she did not know many words.
“She didn’t say anything. But as a veteran, I think that she is pregnant.” Old
Mrs. Chen recalled the last time she saw Zhao Meilan and commented, “Pregnant women walk differently. However, people usually keep their pregnancy a secret until the fetus is at least three months old.”
“Really?”
“Of course, it’s true. Moreover, the young master of the Hu clan watches over her as though she is a porcelain doll about to fall over. If she isn’t with child, why would he be so worried? My old eyes are sharp. She is definitely pregnant.”
Zhao Chuchu offered, “In that case, I will pay her a visit at the Hu residence. If she is really pregnant, she should be more careful.”
However, Zhao Chuchu felt that something was off. She then realized that
Zhao Meilan had just turned 14. Wasn’t it too soon for her to get pregnant?
She could not help but suspect that Old Mrs. Chen’s eyes had played tricks on her.
The Hu clan was considered well-off. They would definitely instruct Hu Yiming on such matters.
“I will pay her a visit after the Mid-Autumn Festival,” Zhao Chuchu added. Perhaps Zhao Meilan was not pregnant but instead ill?
Old Mrs. Chen nagged, “How about you, Chuchu? Why hasn’t there been any news? Listen to me. Da Lang will achieve great things in the future. You should have children sooner!”
Zhao Chuchu was already numb from being asked to have children..
