A basket of freshly washed peaches was placed on the table in the main room.

There were still baskets full on the ground.

Tang Su'e picked through the baskets on the ground, selecting the larger ones and setting them aside for her eldest grandson to take back to their house.

Sister-in-law Zhou Qiaoyun was naturally unhappy to see this, but she couldn't show it, so she deliberately smiled and said, "Dabao, eat if you like. You guys are picking and choosing, eating and taking things away. There are more than ten people in the family. How are the others supposed to eat what you leave behind?"

"My fifth sister's family specially sent these over for us to eat, not for you. Why do you care so much!" Tang Su'e continued picking out the bigger peaches, doing as she pleased.

Zhou Qiaoyun's face darkened with anger.

She and Tang Su'e have always been at odds.

A married daughter who has already seen her grandson is still staying at her parents' house with her whole family, freeloading off them.

They have absolutely no self-awareness.

As Chen Wanping tidied her hair, she came out of the room and noticed that her sixth aunt and seventh aunt were acting strangely.

Zhou Qiaoyun took a peach from Tang Su'e's eldest grandson's basket and handed it to Chen Wanping, "Wanping, this peach was sent over by your fifth aunt, please try it..."

Tang Su'e snatched the peach from Zhou Qiaoyun's hand, took a washed one from the table and handed it to Chen Wanping, saying, "The peaches in the basket haven't been washed, but the ones on the table have been washed. Eat the ones on the table."

Tang Su'e picked out a basket full of large peaches and carried them into her house with her eldest grandson.

Zhou Qiaoyun rolled her eyes in anger. Chen Wanping pulled her seventh aunt aside to comfort her, and Han Zhiyuan finally found a chance to sneak away.

Tang Su'e carefully placed the peaches down and instructed her eldest grandson, "These peaches are only for our family to eat. No one else can have them, not even your great-grandfather. Just tell him you've eaten them all, understand?"

The six-year-old grandson nodded, then suddenly shouted towards the door, "Dad!"

"Your dad went to work and isn't home."

"Dad!" The eldest grandson ran out and grabbed Han Zhiyuan's hand. "Dad! Dad!"

Tang Su'e, who caught up with him, recognized Han Zhiyuan. "Isn't this Wanping's man? Here to see Wanping?"

Several years ago, when Chen Wanping and Han Zhiyuan held their wedding, she met him once as a relative of the bride's side. At that time, he even toasted their table.

Han Zhiyuan had no recollection of Tang Su'e, so he awkwardly greeted her and hurriedly left.

Tang Su'e chased after Han Zhiyuan outside the gate, watched him ride away on his bicycle, and patted her eldest grandson, "Go, call your great-grandfather back."

The nearly seventy-year-old patriarch of the Tang family was dragged home by his great-grandson, and couldn't help but complain a few times.

"Da Bao, why did you call Grandpa back? Grandpa hasn't finished his game of chess yet."

"Dad!" Tang Su'e called out mysteriously, "Han Zhiyuan is here."

Old Master Tang was taken aback. "Where is he?"

“He just left,” Tang Su’e whispered to her father. “It seems he spent the night here last night.”

"Come on! Let's go inside and talk. Call Wanping in too."

Zhou Qiaoyun was complaining to Chen Wanping about Tang Su'e's lack of self-awareness and shamelessness when Tang Su'e's eldest grandson came and called Chen Wanping away.

Inside the house, after confirming with Chen Wanping that Han Zhiyuan had spent the night there, Old Master Tang asked, "Have you two made up?"

“We broke up!” Chen Wanping said.

Grandpa Tang and Tang Su'e exchanged a glance. The young couple had spent the night together last night, and now they were talking about breaking up?

"He said he wanted to marry another woman, so we broke up and stopped seeing each other."

Who is he going to marry?

"Song Yinhua!"

Upon hearing the name, Tang Su'e said, "The eldest daughter of Er Zhuang's family! Dad, about that matter..."

"Ahem!" Old Master Tang coughed deliberately, interrupting Tang Su'e's next words. After sending Chen Wanping away, he reminded Tang Su'e, "Be careful what you say in front of the younger generation in the future."

"Wanping just said that Zhiyuan is going to marry Yinhua. It's not a big deal if Wanping finds out about that. She might even thank you, her grandfather!"

"She's thanking me, her maternal grandfather. Will Erzhuang's family blame me?"

"Erzhuang's family didn't know that it was your idea to have his daughter Yinhua marry Wanping's husband and help Wanping raise three children."

Zhou Qiaoyun, who was outside the door, was shocked to hear the conversation inside.

She said that on the day Chen Wanping came to her house, her father-in-law and sixth sister-in-law and their family secretly held a family meeting in the house behind her back.

She initially thought they were discussing something related to her, and privately asked her husband what they were talking about, but he refused to say.

Ever since she entered the family, whenever something happens, the whole family discusses it behind her back, keeping an eye on her alone.

Even the fact that they secretly abandoned her newborn daughter because they disliked that she gave birth to a daughter was something the whole family discussed behind her back.

Thinking of her daughter, whom she had never even had a chance to meet, Zhou Qiaoyun hated this family to the core.

The father and daughter inside the house were still discussing whether to continue intervening in the matter, unaware that Zhou Qiaoyun had overheard their conversation.

When the Han family got into trouble, Chen Wanping went to her maternal grandfather's house, which was more than 20 miles away.

Grandpa Tang felt sorry for his granddaughter, so he came up with the idea of ​​having Song Yinhua marry into the Han family to help his granddaughter raise children and serve her parents-in-law.

Han Zhiyuan's mother liked to go to the convenience store to play cards every day. The Tang family first asked an acquaintance to mention Song Yinhua while playing cards with Wang Naiyun. However, when Wang Naiyun heard that Song Yinhua was a jinx who had killed her grandparents, she refused.

Later, Tang Su'e's daughter-in-law's cousin worked in the same factory as Han Zhiyuan. He found an opportunity to mention Song Yinhua to Han Zhiyuan under the guise of showing concern.

Han Zhiyuan made a special trip to Songzhuang to observe Song Yinhua for two days before going to find the matchmaker Wang had arranged for him to marry her.

As soon as Tang Su'e heard the news, she ran to Songzhuang with her grandson to find out what was going on. That's how her grandson bumped into Song Yinhua's leg while running around, causing the jade pendant to fall off.

"Su'e, go to your fifth sister's house again in a couple of days and ask her to persuade Erzhuang and Qiao Guilan to marry Yinhua to Zhiyuan. Wanping's three children are too young and need to be taken care of." Old Master Tang added, "Don't let Wanping know about this."

Tang Su'e was a little jealous. "Among this group of younger generation, you care the most about Fourth Sister's daughter, Wanping. I've never seen you care about my son and daughter like this."

"Su'e, you should speak with a conscience! Of all the children, you are the most cunning! Your parents favor you the most, always thinking of you first when there is something good to eat, and even keeping the family's treasures with you."

When the topic of family treasures came up, Grandpa Tang asked, "Where's that jade pendant?"

"You mean Erbao's amulet? It's on Erbao's body."

"Let me see it! I've been feeling a bit uneasy these past few days, I need to see it with my own eyes to put my mind at ease."

Tang Su'e declined, saying, "My daughter-in-law took Erbao back to her parents' home and won't be back until this afternoon."

"When Erbao comes back, you must show me the jade pendant. That jade pendant is related to our family's lifeline, and we absolutely cannot lose it!"
