The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Over a decade had passed, and that fear had long taken root and sprouted in the old couple’s hearts.

So, even if Grandpa He was angry now, even if he wanted to severely punish He Tiantian, he, he dared not act rashly.

Who knew what kind of trouble Liu Xiuzhi, that shrew, could stir up next?

Compared to a decade ago, Grandpa He and Granny He had aged more.

Grandpa He was still relatively strong, but Granny He had been sickly since last year.

These past few months, the old couple had been pondering how they could reconcile with their daughter-in-law so that they could move back into their son’s house.

That way, even if they really fell ill and were bedridden, they would have their children and grandchildren nearby to care for them.

Instead of the current situation, where they lived in the same village as their son, but their homes were separated by two streets.

If anything happened to the old couple, no one would know if they died at home.

It was precisely because they needed something from their hearts that Grandpa He was so involved in arranging He Tiantian’s marriage.

Although he was an old rogue and didn’t much care about face,

After all, he was over seventy years old, and Grandpa He really didn’t want to always suck up to the Yan Family, enduring their disdain and contempt.

”...Sigh, you girl, you’re not old yet your schemes are big!”

Thinking of these, Grandpa He was both angry and helpless, shuffling along with his hands clasped behind his back, bent waist, head hanging low, and complained begrudgingly, ”Such a good marriage proposal, and you just reject it outright!”

”You don’t want to marry that Yan Family boy, fine, but why, why did you have to speak so harshly?”

”How can our family still have the face to visit the Yan Family?”

Although both grandsons had jobs, they were in the town.

Both granddaughters-in-law still had rural hukou.

Grandpa He had discussed with He Jianguo before if possible, to find a way to move the brothers He Yongfu and He Yonggui to the city, and if they could get to the Provincial City and settle the two couples’ hukou issues, that would be ideal.

But, Grandpa He also knew that owing to his bit of favor with the Yan Family, it was really hard to ask them for such a favor.

Just as He Tiantian took a liking to Yan Xingzhou, wanting to marry into the Yan Family and become a city dweller.

Grandpa He’s thoughts became lively again; his association with Grandpa Yan was basically forged through his shrewd tactics.

But if He Tiantian married Yan Xingzhou, and the He Family and the Yan Family became actual relatives, then the affairs of He Yongfu and He Yonggui would be difficult for the Yan Family to ignore.

Grandpa He was eager to help finalize He Tiantian and Yan Xingzhou’s marriage also with this in mind.

However, all his plans and schemes were easily ruined by He Tiantian.

Grandpa He grew progressively angrier the more he thought about it, yet he could neither explode nor act out, feeling incredibly stifled inside.

”We’ll just not visit the Yan Family for now!”

He Tiantian said indifferently.

Grandpa He: ...Can’t curse, and even less able to hit, this darn girl has a tiger mom behind her.

Wait, hold on!

It seemed like Liu Xiuzhi really wanted to marry her daughter into the Yan Family, and if she knew He Tiantian had singlehandedly botched everything.

Even if Liu Xiuzhi doted on her daughter, she should blow her top, shouldn’t she?

Grandpa He felt somewhat better thinking of this possibility.

At least, he no longer incessantly complained about He Tiantian causing trouble. Arriving at the guesthouse and seeing He Tiantian pay for two rooms, he felt not too heartbroken.

After settling Grandpa He in the guest room and explaining to him how to get lunch, He Tiantian left the guesthouse alone.

Grandpa He did not ask; he never liked this loss-making business.

And today, He Tiantian had caused such a huge disaster, Grandpa He was even more disgusted.

Hmph, let her be, if she has the guts to fall out with the Yan Family, it seems she’s someone with her own ideas.

Moreover, He Tiantian was not new to the Provincial City; previously, to latch onto Yan Xingzhou, He Tiantian had come several times with Liu Xiuzhi.

Besides, He Tiantian was a high school student, literate and able to speak Mandarin; even if she got lost, she would ask for directions herself.

Didn’t you see that just now, she found this guesthouse by asking for directions?

Grandpa He lay straight on the bed without taking off his shoes, hands pillowed behind his head, and dozed off.

He Tiantian left the guesthouse, asked around, and took two bus transfers to reach her destination—the Provincial Sports School.

”Ah, no way, Tiantian, you want to be an athlete?”

Seeing the sign at the entrance of the sports school, Student Xiao D finally caught on.

Suddenly recalling He Tiantian’s Martial Arts training, he asked curiously, ”Tiantian, are you thinking of becoming a Martial Arts athlete?”
