Chapter 466 Self-Salvation

Without even thinking, Jian Ziyu replied, "Ayu is busy all year round, this rare rest time... let's just forget about it!"

Brother Jian, who was hesitating, was slightly taken aback.

Chien Tzu-yu's words sound reasonable, but doesn't that mean he's unwilling to even bother to find an excuse?

Brother Jian was at a loss for words.

While hesitating, Sister-in-law Jian subconsciously glanced at her husband. After clearly seeing all of Brother Jian's reactions, she pursed her lips and spoke up herself:

"Mom and Dad, since you're both home, I'll stay too!"

"Perfect! Without me and Ayu around, Afan and the others can drink more without worry!"

Although Sister-in-law Jian's words sounded like a joke, Jian Ziyu could only sigh.

Today, he took the two of them out for a walk in the village.

The eldest sister-in-law and An Songyu did not talk much.

Logically speaking, the village should be quite harmonious during the Spring Festival.

But some people just don't follow the usual path.

As the three of them walked along, they were surprised to see a couple fighting all the way from inside the yard to outside.

According to the family next door, it seems that the man of that family is often away from home.

When he gets home, he either beats his wife or his children.

At that time, Sister-in-law Jian naturally felt sorry for the woman who had been beaten so badly.

She subconsciously sighed, but found that her sister-in-law's expression did not change much.

So, Sister-in-law Jian naturally asked a question.

What was his wife's response later?

Chien Tzu-yu looked at his wife and saw that she was also smiling at him.

An Songyu said it very bluntly at the time: "The most important thing is for people to save themselves!"

"Trusting others and relying on others is not a wrong thing."

"But it turns out that those you trust are not trustworthy, and those you depend on cannot be depended on."

"Then we must try our best to save ourselves."

"After all, no one knows better than themselves what they have been through."

"No one can get help all the time."

Ultimately, you have to save yourself.

"We can't help her!"

"And if she doesn't want to save herself, the help from outsiders will ultimately be in vain."

This isn't just something An Songyu said carelessly.

They only found out because they overheard their neighbors talking nearby.

The man said he was going out to make money, but he never earned a single penny back each year.

He even asked his wife for money when he came back for the Chinese New Year.

Moreover, their family has not separated, and the relationships are complicated.

Therefore, they always end up fighting at the drop of a hat.

Of course, it was the woman who was being beaten unilaterally.

Some neighbors couldn't stand it anymore; some tried to persuade her directly, while others even thought of helping her send a message to her family.

In the end, no one appreciated it at all.

This is why their family, which used to beat his wife behind closed doors, has now turned into a situation where they seem to deliberately embarrass her, beating her from inside the yard to outside.

Since Sister-in-law Jian was with the two of them, she naturally listened to the neighbors' gossip as well.

When she heard An Songyu's words again, she was indeed quite shaken.

She had always known that her younger siblings were different from her.

Not to mention that her family later made a fortune from the demolition and relocation compensation.

The point is that she was originally a student at Nanjing University.

That was enough for Sister-in-law Jian to clearly understand.

Sister-in-law Jian and Brother Jian were childhood sweethearts, but she was certain that, whether in her family or the Jian family, they weren't particularly optimistic about their relationship at the time.

Perhaps they felt that they were young and unsettled at the time.

Perhaps they also felt that they were too young to start a family.

In short, Sister-in-law Jian could sense the Jian family's attitude towards her.

Not particularly enthusiastic, nor particularly resistant... just watching them develop indifferently.

At one point, Sister-in-law Jian thought this way of treating her was actually quite good.

Even though she felt that the two of them would definitely be together for life.

But a girlfriend and a daughter-in-law are definitely different!

However, when she first saw An Songyu at the Jian family home, she sensed that something was different.

Or perhaps, Ah Yu was already a bit older than when they went home together.

It's more likely that they are both students at Nanjing University, and it's easy to imagine that they will at least be able to support themselves and their families in the future.

Sister-in-law Jian could clearly feel the complete acceptance from her parents-in-law's attitude.

Although Sister-in-law Jian was not jealous.

However, he also clearly understood the differences between people.

At the same time, I subconsciously worked even harder.

She wasn't expecting her in-laws to treat her differently.

Since the couple decided to get married, her in-laws have treated her much better than when her younger brother and sister-in-law first visited the Jian family.

She simply wanted her sister-in-law to be respected by her future in-laws on her first visit to their home with her boyfriend.

Isn't that because of her own excellence?

If she works even harder, she should be able to become even better than before, right?

Because of this idea, Sister-in-law Jian really didn't have any other thoughts about this excellent sister-in-law.

But it was only under these circumstances today that Sister-in-law Jian suddenly realized this.

My sister-in-law's excellence does not lie in the fact that she is a student at Nanjing University, nor in the fact that she can manage the company with her uncles.

It lies in her clarity of mind and her perspective on things.

Although Sister-in-law Jian couldn't completely agree, she had indeed thought about it carefully.

They even put it into action.

After seeing her mother-in-law nod in approval, Sister-in-law Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but was still somewhat dazed.

Is this what my younger siblings meant by self-rescue?

This feeling is actually not bad!

When Sister-in-law Jian looked at her husband again, her eyes were now very peaceful.

Yes, she forgot that if someone cannot be relied on or trusted, she can still rely on herself.

This is not entirely the same as the way she knows about how couples should get along.

But this feeling made Sister-in-law Jian feel even more at ease.

Although Brother Jian was somewhat surprised that his wife spoke up before him, he could not completely reject her choice.

Seeing that he didn't react much at all, Jian Ziyu suppressed the urge to sigh.

His older brother!

Whether you know it or not, don't be fooled by the fact that his wife seemed to have just spoken her mind before he did.

But could this be the first step she takes towards independence?

But considering his older brother's personality, even if he knew... he probably wouldn't care, right?

At this point, Chien Tzu-yu still held this view.

But that night, his older brother came looking for him.

After greeting An Songyu, Jian Ziyu followed his older brother, who had come to call him, out of the room.

But after arriving in the living room, Brother Jian didn't speak immediately. Instead, he sneakily went to his room to check the situation.

"Big brother... what are you doing?" Jian Ziyu felt that something was wrong!

Won't his older brother come looking for him to drink alone late at night because of what happened today?

That won't do!

An Songyu has never really liked the taste of alcohol, and he doesn't have any particular fondness for alcoholic beverages.

Therefore, Chien Tzu-yu has always avoided drinking as much as possible.

He simply couldn't avoid it last night, and ended up drinking himself into a stupor, requiring his brother-in-law to take care of him.

Although An Songyu really didn't say anything!

But Chien Tzu-yu was determined that, if possible, he would try to avoid touching this thing!
