Not only did no one come to apologize to Yang Dachui, but even Liu Qingshan's family also canceled the marriage ceremony for Liu Qiang, who was the second son of the Liu family.

At the beginning, Yang Dachui thought something was wrong with Liu Qiang's wedding. Since the marriage contract was no longer in order, naturally, Yang Dachui wouldn't invite him to the wedding, so he didn't take it to heart. However, after being at home for half a month, he couldn't sit still anymore.

At this time of the year, he was always at his busiest, either being invited by the owner or the Xi Family. But suddenly, no one came to invite him, he actually had time to rest, and from his experience, this was too abnormal.

Could it be that there was no one else holding a wedding?

That's unlikely.

It was impossible for a village like this to not have a happy occasion.

While Yang Dachui was lost in thought, his daughter-in-law heard some gossip when she went out to chat with someone. These gossip gave her a fright, and she didn't even care about losing face as she left the chatterbox and ran back home, reporting the gossip she heard to Yang Dachui.

"What did you say?" Was it Han Maicao who stole my business? "Who's Han Maicao? How come I don't know her?" When he was at Han Qingwang's house, Yang Dachui would never place an unremarkable girl in his eyes. Therefore, he did not even remember Han Maicao's name that day.

"It's just that the Han Family Village has been pestering that girl Yang Shucai. Because Yang Shucai didn't agree to marry her, didn't he jump into the river? He almost didn't die. Speaking of it, it was quite strange. After jumping over the river, everyone said that she seemed to have changed. Not only did her personality change, she even learned how to cook. When did she learn it? Who did he learn it from? I say, old man, did you not hear anything at all? "

Yang Dachui was still thinking about who Han Maicao was and didn't hear his wife's words.

Suddenly, he remembered that the girl who contradicted him at Han Qingwang's house that day was called Han Maicao.

No wonder she dared to argue with him. She wanted to chase him away, she wanted to take over this task.

In that case, Han Qingwang's family did not need to beg him to make sense of the matter, because with Han Maicao, they had gained confidence and were no longer afraid.

I say, old man, don't tell me that Han Maicao's culinary skills were taught to her by you? If that's the case, then she's overdoing it a little, she's going to steal her master's food after learning the culinary skills. This is too shameless, you should come knocking and tell her in front of everyone, let everyone know what kind of person she is.

Yang Dachui's wife was still blabbering on and on. Yang Dachui was annoyed by her and shouted at her: "You silly old woman, what are you blabbering about? She's just a little girl, can she compare to me? She stole my business, is she capable of that? "What you've heard is that she purposely wanted to raise her status by arousing the public outside. You silly old woman, why are you blabbering away like that? Is your blabbering not working out with her?"

Yang Dachui called her a silly old grandma, but his wife didn't like hearing that. She immediately said angrily, "You old man, how many years have you been cooking for? Now you actually made a little girl compete with you, you have already lost face. Why are you venting your anger on me? If you have the ability, go and find Han Maicao!" After Yang Dachui's wife finished speaking, she didn't even look at Yang Dachui's face, which was flushed red in anger, and walked away. When she went out, she slammed the door to vent the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Yang Dachui was already in a bad mood. After being harassed by his wife like this, he was both embarrassed and annoyed. He walked around the room a few times before opening the door and leaving in a huff.

It won't be that easy to steal the business from him, Yang Dachui!

Today, Maicao was at home. Since it was Sunday, Qingyu and Qinglin also rested. After they finished their homework, the two of them laid down on the small table together with Maicao, stuffing a cigarette box earnestly.

The amount of money Maicao made from the money she earned was naturally incomparable to the amount of money she earned from making money. However, even so, Maicao still decided to continue making money.

Because she knew very well that she actually had a lot of work to do during this period of time, especially after the new year, when the people who married and built the house were few, and her income would also be lower. If she lost this cigarette box, then it would not be easy to think about what would happen next.

And before the fall of the next year, she could not allow herself to sit idle.

She had to accumulate some money as soon as possible. Otherwise, if one day she took a fancy to a profitable business and was delayed by a lack of money, wouldn't she regret it until she died?

Maicao asked about Qingyu's and Qinglin's lessons while she held the box of cigarettes. The three of them chatted and laughed, but they didn't seem too bored.

The three of them were busy with their cigarette boxes when Third Grandmother walked in. Maicao quickly stood up to give Third Grandmother a seat, "Third Grandmother, why are you here? If you need anything, just scream at the wall. What if you fall on your legs?"

"I was just sitting at home and panicking, I just wanted to come over to your house and have a chat." Third Grandmother smiled amiably. Seeing the cigarette case still on the small table, she picked one up and was about to burn it.

"Third Grandmother, just sit by the side and talk to us. You don't need to do this work." Maicao hurriedly stopped her.

"Maicao, are you afraid that my vision isn't blurry? "Don't worry, although my legs and legs are not nimble, my eyes are still good. I guarantee that they will be neat and tidy."

"Hey, Third Grandmother, you're mistaken about my meaning. You have to keep your head down when you're muddling this thing. It's been a while and you're feeling dizzy. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

"I know what I'm doing. If I can't handle it, I'll put it down."

Since Third Grandmother wanted to pack the cigarette case so badly, Maicao let her do it. Anyway, the old man's proper activities were still very beneficial. However, Maicao repeatedly reminded Third Grandmother to stop when she felt tired. Third Grandmother agreed with a smile.

Maicao looked at Third Grandmother's cigarette box. No matter if it was folding, slurry, or cigarette box, each and every move of hers was especially elegant. It was as if she wasn't filling the cigarette box, but rather embroidery.

Maicao was stunned.

"Maicao, why are you always looking at me?" Third Grandmother noticed that Maicao's cigarette case had stopped burning, so she stared at her without blinking. She asked with a hint of amusement.

"Third Grandmother, what did you do in the past?" Maicao finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart as she asked.

"Why did Maicao ask this?"

"I just think you're different from the other old ladies."

"How is it different? They're all old and useless."

"Third Grandmother, you're just different from them. Third Grandmother, you don't know about it, but when I first saw you, I felt that you were just like those young mistresses from noble families."

As soon as Maicao finished talking, she suddenly realized there was a big flaw in her words. What did it mean to see the original Han Maicao for the first time? She didn't know anything about it, so wouldn't her words make Third Grandmother suspicious?

However, Third Grandmother seemed to have been moved by Han Maicao's words. She looked a little sad and didn't notice the flaw in Han Maicao's words at all.

After a long while, Third Grandmother let out a long sigh. Perhaps she had been holding it in for too long, wanting to find someone to tell her about her past.

Third Grandmother had been born in Malaysia, so her family background was quite good. Other than owning a tin mine, her father also owned three rubber plantations. Third Grandmother was a young miss of a rich family.

Third Grandmother's parents couldn't resist Third Grandmother and finally agreed to marry her to that poor kid, Third Grandpa, who wandered to Malaysia to seek for a living because his family was too poor.

Third Grandpa was an extremely capable person. Under the guidance of Third Grandmother's father, he quickly became Third Grandmother's father's right-hand man.

If this continued, Third Grandpa and Third Grandmother would definitely live happily until they were old, but Third Grandpa was a person who valued relationships greatly. If they wandered around for too long, they would inevitably miss their parents and siblings, especially after the establishment of the new China.

Third Grandmother loved Third Grandpa very much. Since Third Grandpa had such a wish, of course, she would do her best to make it happen. Thus, ignoring her parents' objections, she followed Third Grandpa back to the country and settled down in Han Family Village.

Third Grandpa had also done a lot of good things for the locals. He helped to build a road in the town, built a cigarette factory, and just when Third Grandpa wanted to give his all to help the country, an accident happened and he died. Their only son also lost his mind because he couldn't stand the excitement and fell into the river at the western end of the village and drowned.

Of the once blissful family of three, only Third Grandmother survived. She was alone and had survived through the wind and rain until now.

Luckily, Han Sanpao, the village chief, was honest and kind. He had been trying to save Third Grandmother's life. Otherwise, Third Grandmother would have died a long time ago.

Maicao was completely shocked. What Third Grandmother had said was only what she had read or seen in movies and television before. She had only read it because it was too far away and she always felt that it was a bit unreal.

But now, in front of her eyes sat a person who had experienced all of this for himself. The once pampered and pampered young miss was now without food or clothing, and the only person left from her once blissful family was Old Lady Gu.

If she didn't have such a strong heart, perhaps Third Grandmother would have long since followed the footsteps of her relatives.

Maicao suddenly regretted it a little. She shouldn't have exposed Third Grandmother's sad past just because she was curious.

"Third Grandmother, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked you those questions. It made you sad."

"Silly child, Third Grandmother has always kept these things in her heart, and no one can even talk about it. I feel a lot more comfortable hearing this from you all today. Third Grandmother has not even had the time to thank you, so why would she blame you?"

"Third Grandmother, did none of your relatives in Malaysia come to see you?"

"When I first returned home, there were letters that came and went, but they ended afterwards."

"Third Grandmother, why don't you write them a letter and let them know that you're still alive? If they get in touch with you, you'll have someone to rely on."

Third Grandmother sighed again. "I don't know when this situation will change. If I write to them, I might implicate them. Therefore, I can't write this letter."
