The Quan family children were born together. There were three children in the family; she was the fifth, her older brother was the seventh, and her younger brother was the ninth. She and her older brother were only one year apart, old enough to be sent to the countryside.

Someone definitely needs to go.

In many families, the older sister dotes on her younger brother and is willing to go, while in other families, the younger brother dotes on his older sister. It's generally easier for boys to do farm work than for girls.

Their family was different. His mother said that girls would belong to someone else sooner or later, so let him go.

The seventh brother stood to the side without saying a word.

Fourth Brother said that going to the countryside wasn't just about enduring hardship; it was also tough for girls. He meant he was worried about them being bullied.

Grandpa didn't approve of her going either, because boys are supposed to be responsible and take on the burden of the family when they grow up.

His dad said he'd go back and discuss it.

What is this talk of negotiation? It's just going back and forcing her to go.

Even his grandfather sighed!

Her husband, Shi Lei, was a student two years his senior and had been pursuing her since high school.

Quan Guangxia disagreed, as her husband was short for a man and had dark skin.

That day, she left home crying and wandered aimlessly when she ran into him.

Shi Lei asked her why she was crying, and Quan Guangxia, feeling extremely aggrieved, told him about her family situation.

Shi Lei said, "Marry me. If you take over my mother's job, you won't have to go to the countryside anymore."

Quan Guangxia still remembers the scene from back then.

"...I never wanted to talk to you in the first place. If I were to marry you, it would definitely be to avoid going to the countryside."

Aren't you afraid that I won't be devoted to you in the future?

Shi Lei: "No way! As long as I'm good to you, you'll be good to me too! You're not the kind of heartless person!"

"You made this promise to your family without consulting them first. Do you think they'll agree to it?" Quan Guangxia asked.

"I take after my dad in both height and looks! My mom says that as long as I find a beautiful wife, she'll listen to everything I say!"

"It means I have to subsidize my sister with some of my salary every month."

Shi Lei has an older sister and a younger brother.

His sister felt sorry for him and went to the countryside in his place, so it was only natural for him to send her some money to help her out.

The younger brother is still young, and Shi Lei has a job, so his mother doesn't object to his daughter-in-law taking over his job.

Quan Guangxia stole the household registration book from her home and registered her marriage with Shi Lei.

On the third day, when the family reported the people who had been sent to the countryside, her mother took out the household registration book and found that her household registration had already been moved out.

Her mother was crying and wailing...

Her mother wanted to kick her out that very day.

Grandpa wouldn't allow it, so her third brother took her away. He said that Auntie was angry and that Guangxia should stay at her own home for a few days.

Of course, the wedding was also held at my third brother's house.

Her parents wouldn't give her a single piece of cloth.

Grandpa gave her money to buy new clothes. Her third and fourth brothers prepared things like washbasins and thermos flasks for her.

Shi Lei was indeed good to her and respected her very much.

On their wedding night, he said that if she wasn't willing, he would wait until she was...

Thinking of her husband, Quan Guangxia felt a touch of sweetness in her heart.

Her mother-in-law was also a gentle person. To be honest, she felt more affection for her mother-in-law than for her own mother.

My mother-in-law is a very skilled person at her workplace, but she is never competitive or aggressive.

She always gets the jobs that others don't want to do.

She's an architect. Her only habit is to work slowly and deliberately; she won't do anything rushed. You can't force her to work. Good-tempered people are often stubborn. If you anger her, she won't tolerate it.

In her words, it would be so uncomfortable for a person to stay in one place all day.

Actually, she likes to work.

I finished my work while relaxing, and people even thanked me. Isn't that great?

She didn't mind at all when someone took most of her design drawings and used them in their own name.

In her words, it wouldn't increase her salary by much even if she gave someone a reputation. Those who benefited would also give her gifts afterward.

Gradually, everyone became aware of her habit, and she became very popular at work.

So during those most chaotic years, her mother-in-law was not affected.

Quan Guangxia had no technical skills; she was just a general helper and cleaner at the architectural design institute.

My mother-in-law is a restless person; she always says that people should have a skill.

Her mother-in-law made teaching her her primary way of passing the time.

She has been married for eight years and has been learning from her mother-in-law for eight years.

At work, I'm surrounded by people with professional knowledge.

In recent years, she has no longer been that handyman.

She can draw, and she accompanies architects to construction sites; now she is a capable assistant.

Manager Chang's place is currently under construction, and although the construction company is trustworthy, there's always a chance of oversights. I consider myself an expert in this field.

She's been helping out with the watch whenever she has free time; she should be even more diligent in the future.

With her there, there won't be any problems.

But once the factory is built, she probably won't be able to help much.

Quan Guangxia thought of many things in an instant, and she strode into her grandfather's room.

"grandfather!"

"Guangxia didn't leave?"

"They haven't left!"

"If Grandpa gives the house to the third wife, don't transfer it to my name. I won't let them have that name on it." Quan Guangxia looked intently at her grandfather.

The old man wanted to give the things to his son, and she didn't care about his grandson, but he shouldn't have anything to do with her.

Old Man Quan met his granddaughter's gaze; he knew exactly what the third son's family was thinking. "The house is for you, not for the third son's family!"

I will make it clear when the property is transferred!

They are, after all, your parents, and they will stay here as long as they are alive. As for your brothers...
