Chapter 3  : He’s a Good Person

After sending the money over, Su Wen dragged Aunt Chunyan home. In fact, it was to let Aunt Chunyan help lead the way. It was also a huge pitfall to not have the memory of the s***bag ex-wife after transmigrating. However, since she was already here, there was no point in complaining. She could only go through with each day.

Looking at the house before her, Su Wen felt a little comforted.

The village was full of mud houses, but the Su family actually lived in a large tile-roofed house. There was a row of five tile-roofed houses with a small courtyard. A pomegranate tree was planted in the courtyard, and a small table was placed under the tree.

The novel seemed to have mentioned that the mother of the seven golden flowers was one of the first batch of educated youths to be sent to the countryside. She had some money on her, and it was probably her mother who had had the house built.

No wonder Zhao Jiangang racked his brains to get close to her. It turned out that he was planning to obtain a house.

Although it was only five tile-roofed houses, in the 1980s countryside, it was a drool-worthy amount of wealth.

“Aunt Chunyan, look. The rumors in the village that I’ve taken a fancy to Zhao Jiangang are not true. I want to live a good life with Hengyang. You must believe me and help me clarify things. Hengyang is a good person. I can’t let him down.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely explain it for you. I won’t let anyone tarnish your reputation.” Wang Chunyan and Su Wen’s mother used to be good friends. She was only able to marry the village chief because Su Wen’s mother had taught her to read and write, which was why her mother-in-law valued her.

Therefore, all these years, she had been helping the Su family as much as she could.

“Why don’t you eat at my house? I’ll cook two dishes for you.” Su Wen greeted her warmly, trying to get more information from Wang Chunyan. Although she had already known about the plot in the book, it was still a little different from reality.

When Wang Chunyan heard that Su Wen wanted her to stay for a meal, her expression turned strange. She forced a smile and left in a hurry. Su Wen stood there in confusion, and after thinking for a long time, she finally understood.

It turned out that the original character’s cooking skills were the worst in the village, and she was often gossiped about and mocked.

Why would Wang Chunyan dare to eat her cooking?

The door to the courtyard was left ajar. Su Wen pushed the door open and entered, only to find that the house was relatively clean. The central room of the five tile-roofed houses was the main room. The eight-seater table was placed against the wall, and the benches and chairs were very old and even missing a leg.

There were two wooden beds in the room on the right side, covered with straw mats. By the window, there were old tables and chairs that had turned black. There were some books, leaves, old shoes, and other things piled on them.

There was a pile of junk at the corner, and Su Wen had the urge to throw it all away.

The other rooms had a similar layout.

She couldn’t stand dirt and mess. In the past, when she had been in the countryside, her grandmother would always hoard the plastic bags that her groceries came in, unable to bear throwing them away. There were plastic bags all over the house, and they wouldn’t be used up even after a decade had passed. As long as she went back to her hometown to visit her grandmother, she could at least throw out a truckload of things from the house.

The courtyard could still be considered clean. The door to the first room on the left side of the central room was open, and there was a straw mat on the floor facing the door. This was probably where little sister Su lived. The second room was where the original character and Zhou Hengyang lived.

The only room on the right side of the courtyard wall was the kitchen, which was slightly lower than the main house.

Su Wen had grown up in the countryside and had struggled to gain a foothold in the city to buy a house and a car. Now that she was back in the countryside, although the conditions could not be compared to when she was young, she did not feel uncomfortable.

She wasn’t someone who could stay idle, so she cleaned the house from top to bottom. Following that, she scrubbed the kitchen stove. By the time she was done, the sun was already high above her. In this era, there were very few households that could afford to buy clocks and watches. If one wanted to know the time, they could only listen to the village radio or look at the sun’s position in the sky.

It was estimated that it was almost 11 o’clock, and the people who worked in the fields to earn work points were coming back.

She hadn’t eaten yet! Her stomach was growling from hunger.

Just as Su Wen was about to make something to eat, she saw little sister Su running in, drenched with sweat. After entering, she looked alertly at Su Wen and said carefully, “Big sister, the money… The money has been given to Zhou Hengyang.”

“Why did you just call him by his name? Why don’t you call him brother-in-law?”

“You won’t let me,” little sister Su said innocently.

Su Wen wanted to give herself a slap. She pulled little sister Su to sit on the chair with a missing leg and asked her about the situation.

“What did your brother-in-law say?”
