Chapter 143: Xie Shaojun is gone

He Jingxian thought of Jiang Moli and Zhou Yiran from time to time. Zhou Yiran had transferred to an administrative position.

Actually, Zhou Yiran didn't make as much money as He Jingxian did, but she had previously bought a house and some gold, so she still had some money. Seeing how comfortable Zhou Yiran was, He Jingxian wondered if Wu You could follow in her footsteps.

Wu You was far inferior to Jiang Moli, not just slightly. He Jingxian even felt that Wu You was even worse than she was back then. It would be incredibly difficult for Wu You to surpass Jiang Moli, so he should consider Zhou Yiran.

"Okay." Wu You nodded.

Wu You knew Jiang Moli, Zhou Yaran, and He Jingxian. She knew a lot about Jiang Moli, from reading the news and hearing what her classmates said. Jiang Moli was a graduate of Nancheng Art College. She was still very famous, and many people loved her opera.

Some people said Jiang Moli was preparing to step back; otherwise, she wouldn't be sharing the lead role with so many others this time. Many of her classmates envied the young opera performers being mentored by Jiang Moli, wishing they could be mentored by her, so they could become overnight stars.

If they become famous overnight, they can later become the lead actors themselves and attract a wider audience. This is much easier than climbing the ladder piece by piece. Of course, one must have a certain level of ability to climb the ladder. Without that level of ability, there's no way to climb the ladder.

"Don't just say, 'OK, OK, OK,' anyone would say that," He Jingxian said. "You still have to work hard to get in."

"Yeah." Wu You responded.

He Jingxian looked at the adopted daughter in front of her and was still a little disappointed. This adopted daughter was still too bad.

When He Jingxian and Wu You came out of the hotel, He Jingxian's biological daughter saw them, but she did not go over to them.

Qi Shixin did not say much against He Jingxian in front of his three daughters, but all three daughters knew what kind of person He Jingxian was. They all knew that He Jingxian treated her adopted daughters better than they treated them, and they were not important at all in He Jingxian's eyes.

He Jingxian saw her biological daughter, but she didn't go over and pretended that she saw nothing.

After Jiang Moli and her husband had lunch at the Jiang family's house, they went to Teacher Lu's place in the afternoon. Jiang's father and mother did not go, so they went home first. Jiang Moli and her husband took Sheng Haoxuan to visit Teacher Lu and his wife. Teacher Lu specially prepared a table of dishes for them.

"Mom, you don't have to do so much." Jiang Moli said.

"It's for Xuanxuan," Teacher Lu said. "It's not just enough for you. Xuanxuan rarely gets to eat the food I cook when he's abroad, so I have to make more for him."

"That's what my mom said too," Jiang Moli said. "My mom cooks two dishes, not all of them. She said her cooking skills aren't as good as those of the chefs, so she asked the chef to make something more delicious."

Jiang Moli heard what her mother said and felt that what she said made sense. If it were her, she might also think that the food made by those chefs was delicious. No, that's what she thought. Occasionally, eating the food made by her mother, which tasted like her mother's, was also very good.

"Your mother is right." Teacher Lu said, "The food those chefs cook is good."

"Grandma's cooking is delicious too," said Sheng Haoxuan.

"It's delicious, delicious. You all know what it means to say delicious. Don't try to trick me." Teacher Lu said with a smile.

Sheng Jiahao picked up some food for Jiang Moli and peeled shrimp for her.

After dinner, Sheng Haoxuan and his family of three went back home so that Sheng Haoxuan could have a good rest. Sheng Haoxuan would have to go abroad again, so he had to pay attention to rest.

Shi Nan still had to stay in prison for a few more years. His mother and father's hair had turned completely white. His mother was frail and often ill. She hoped to see her son released from prison by then, but then she realized she might not be able to wait.

Over the years, seeing that they couldn't squeeze more money out of Shi's parents, the eldest and second sisters came to see them less and less often. The eldest and second sisters were more concerned about money, and they were afraid that Shi's parents would spend their money, so they simply came less often. It was the third sister who came more often.

Third sister Shi didn't think about asking her mother for money. She was listening to her mother talking about her two sisters.

"Your older sisters just want money," Shi's mother said. "They even asked us to sell our other house, saying our retirement savings were enough and we should sell it while the housing prices were high. They just didn't want to leave the house to your brother, who's still in prison. All the money your brother earned was fined away. When he gets out, he'll have no money and no house to live in. What will he do?"

When Shi's mother thought of this, her eyes turned red. Her health had deteriorated, and she had felt like she couldn't hold on any longer. She thought of Shi Nan in prison. She and her husband had to hold on a little longer. If anything happened to her and her husband, who knew who would own the house.

"You can write a will." Third Sister Shi said, "Leave your things to Shi Nan, and no one else can touch them."

"Your eldest and second sisters don't think so," said Shi's mother. "They both said Shi Nan's two children were abroad and that they could come visit us more often. But in the end, without money, they stopped coming."

When Third Sister Shi bought some things, she didn't expect Mother Shi to give her any money. Her parents were old, and it wasn't easy for them.

"They're all just thinking about money. They have their own houses and money," said Shi's mother. "They're even fighting with their younger brother."

"You don't have to care what they think. You can do whatever you want." said the third sister Shi.

"When your brother got into trouble, the eldest daughter came back. I thought she was kind to us," Shi's mother said. "She even asked Pan Yun to divorce your brother. Now that I think about it, I think she just wanted to embezzle the family money. That's why she asked Pan Yun to take the children abroad."

"..." Third sister Shi didn't really want to talk about eldest sister Shi's affairs. She didn't care about money that much. As long as she could make a living, that was enough.

"Third brother, if Mom is gone by then, you must take good care of your brother." Shi's mother said, "It's not easy for your brother. It really is not easy."

Shi's mother was afraid that she would not be able to wait until her son was released from prison, so she could only give more instructions to her third daughter and ask her to take better care of Shi Nan in the future.

"I don't know if Pan Yun will come back with the child by then." Shi's mother said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Pan Yun had remarried. She couldn't possibly wait for Shi Nan forever. Pan Yun didn't have a proper job abroad, and without a stable source of income, she could only rely on Mrs. Pan. Mrs. Pan arranged for someone to introduce Pan Yun to someone, so she had no choice but to remarry.

Pan Yun married a Chinese businessman and became a stepmother. Pan Yun didn't bring her two daughters with her; they stayed with Mrs. Pan. Mrs. Pan treated the children well. Shi Nan was in prison, so Mrs. Pan rarely spoke of him, not wanting to. But both children knew their biological father and had contact with his family.

Since the two children contacted Shi's mother from time to time, Shi's mother thought that the two children would pay more attention to Shi Nan in the future.

"Pan Yun is married now. She probably won't be coming back. She wants to stay abroad." Shi's mother said, "It's just the two children..."

"It doesn't matter whether the two children are in China or abroad. As long as they do well, it doesn't matter where they live." Third Sister Shi said, "Mom, Shi Nan is out of prison. If you leave him the house and money, he will still be able to make a living. His money has been confiscated, so it's okay if you give him the property now. Make an agreement in advance that while you are alive, you must still live in the house and you must have the right to reside there."

Third Sister Shi didn't think about fighting for the house. If it wasn't hers, it wasn't hers. It was normal for her parents to leave the house to Shi Nan, as he was the only son in the family.

"If you finish the formalities sooner, you won't have to worry about your elder and second sisters asking for those things." Third Sister Shi said, "That way, it will be more convenient."

Shi's mother thought what Third Sister Shi said made sense. Even if she made a will, it wasn't certain what would happen to it. If Shi's mother had transferred the property to Shi Nan's name sooner, he could have used it directly after he was released. As for the house, she could have two. Shi Nan could live in one when he was released, or he could live with Shi's father and mother, if they were still alive.

However, Shi's mother did not live through Qingming Festival. Before she passed away, she and her husband transferred the house to Shi Nan, and some of their savings were also transferred to Shi Nan. The remaining money was given to Shi's father.

Shi Erjie originally thought that since Shi Mu passed away, according to the inheritance law, both sons and daughters could inherit the property, so she wondered if she could get a share. Shi Erjie had no idea that Shi Mu had transferred the property to Shi Nan. When she learned about this at the funeral, she was very angry.

"Third brother, even if you don't want those things, you shouldn't do this." When Second Sister Shi learned that it was Third Sister Shi who came up with the idea, she was extremely angry. "In this day and age, men and women are equal..."

"Mom and Dad have the right to decide who they want to give their property to," said Shi Sanjie. "They can decide while they are still alive."

"Shi Nan is in prison and hasn't been released yet. He hasn't taken care of his parents all these years..."

"Second sister, you haven't taken care of our parents often enough." Third sister Shi said, "Second sister, Shi Nan has nothing left. Mom and Dad need to give him something..."

"Is that just a small thing? Do you know how expensive houses are in South City now?" Shi Erjie was very angry.

Shi Dajie's face was sullen. She hadn't expected Shi Sanjie to actually give her parents advice. Shi Dajie had originally thought that her parents were old and didn't understand those things. When her parents passed away, according to the inheritance law, Shi Dajie, Shi Erjie, and Shi Sanjie would all get a share.

But now, Shi's father and mother had transferred the things to Shi Nan's name long ago, so Shi Nan could not give them the things anymore. According to the inheritance law, Shi's elder sister and others were not Shi Nan's first heirs. Shi Nan's two daughters were the first heirs.

"Sister." Second sister Shi looked at eldest sister Shi and let her speak.

What else could Sister Shi say? Things had come to this point and it was a foregone conclusion. No matter what Sister Shi said, it would be useless.

"Dad, you will follow me from now on." Sister Shi San looked at Father Shi. It was not okay to let Father Shi stay here alone.

As for whether this house was rented out or left empty, since both this house and the other one were under Shi Nan's name, Shi Sanjie didn't think of arguing for them.

"Dad, can you cancel the transfer?" Shi's second sister asked her father.

"That's it." said Shi's father.

"What do you mean by that?" Shi's second sister said, "Dad, you and Mom have always doted on Shi Nan. Shi Nan has become like this because of you. You spoiled him. He only has two daughters, and those two children are still abroad. You..."

"It's all the same, whether at home or abroad." said Shi's father.

If Shi's mother were alive, she might have been a little shaken, but she would still have thought about leaving the things to Shi Nan. Shi's mother felt guilty towards Shi Nan, always thinking that if she hadn't done those things, Shi Nan would not have become like this.

"Third sister, do you really want to provide for dad in his old age?" eldest sister Shi asked third sister Shi.

"Yes." Third Sister Shi said, "My husband and I have already discussed it. Dad will come with us."

"You don't want the money in Dad's hands, do you?" said the second sister.

"No." Third Sister Shi frowned.

"It's not much money." Shi's father said, "Don't worry about the money. I'm going to live in a nursing home. I won't follow you or anyone else."

Father Shi knew his third daughter was sincere, but would his son-in-law be willing to support him long-term? Father Shi had a pension, so it would be better for him to live in a nursing home. If his daughters were truly filial to him, they would visit him in the hospital. If they weren't, that was fine.

"Dad, living in a nursing home isn't that easy." Shi Erjie snorted. "I heard the caregivers in nursing homes even abuse the elderly."

"If you keep an eye on me more, the caregivers won't dare abuse me anymore," Shi's father said. "If that doesn't work out, I'll just stay at home. If I need to eat, I can go downstairs and have it delivered to my door. It's very convenient."

Shi's father had no intention of living with his three daughters. He also didn't know how long he could live, so he decided to live as long as he could. Before his mother died, she asked Shi's father to live longer, saying that she wanted him to see Shi Nan after he was released from prison.

The eldest and second sisters no longer cared about their father. They were both in a bad mood because he had no benefits for them. The third sister knew that his father had made his decision, so she did not try to persuade him, lest the second sister tell the eldest sister that she was only interested in his pension.

Pan Yun's two daughters did not return to China. It was Mrs. Pan who brought one of the children back. The child just stood there in silence after hearing those words. Mrs. Pan asked the child to meet Shi's father and then planned to let the child meet Shi Nan. After meeting Shi Nan, they had to go abroad again. The child had to go to school and could not stay in China all the time.

When Nan saw his eldest daughter, he still felt a little sad. His daughter was so old, but he couldn't do more for her.

At this time, Shi Nan was not in jail, but at his mother's grave. After his mother's death, his family informed the relevant authorities, who allowed Shi Nan to attend his mother's funeral. However, Shi Nan didn't arrive early, so he didn't hear the conversation between the three sisters and their father. Although Shi Nan didn't hear those words, he knew what his eldest and second sisters would think.

"Live a good life abroad." Shi Nan said, "If you don't want to stay abroad, you can also return home. Your grandparents gave me the house, and the house can also be given to you."

Shi Nan didn't want his daughter to have a bad life, and he didn't know where would be a better place for his daughter to stay, so he could only rely on his daughter's own thoughts.

When the eldest sister Shi heard what Shi Nan said, she didn't say anything, while the second sister Shi rolled her eyes.

"What a good plan." Shi Erjie said.

Third sister Shi looked at Second sister Shi and said, "Now that things have come to this, let's not talk about it anymore." Third sister Shi really couldn't understand why Second sister Shi had to say all this. Second sister Shi's family didn't have no place to live, and they didn't lack anything.

After finishing her business, Mrs. Pan took her children abroad.

The eldest and second sisters left early, and the third sister helped Shi's father pack his things. Shi's father eventually chose to go to a nursing home. If he were at home, he would always think of Shi's mother and what she was like when she was alive, which would inevitably make him sad. If Shi's father went to a nursing home, he wouldn't have to be saddened by the memory.

The Olympics were held in the capital, and Jiang Moli and her husband brought their father, mother, and others to watch. The tickets had been bought long ago, and even Sheng Haoxuan had returned from abroad.

The opening ceremony of the Olympics also included elements of opera and other aspects. Jiang Moli naturally did not perform. As a spectator, that was enough for her.

After watching the opening ceremony, Jiang Moli and others went to the hotel.

Jiang Moli's heart could not calm down for a long time. She did not go to watch the Olympics in her previous life, but she saw it in this life.

Be proud of the prosperity of our motherland!

Jiang Moli didn't see many games, so she also had to participate in opera performances. Her unit was having a performance in the capital, but of course, they didn't expect foreigners to buy tickets. They were just performing during the excitement of the Olympics. The unit leaders said it was a crucial publicity moment, with Chinese people from all corners of the country arriving in the capital, so everyone could watch the Olympics and other performances.

While Jiang Moli was attending the performance, Sheng Haoxuan went to watch the game with Sheng Jiahao and others.

Teacher Lu and the others had their own favorite events, and they also watched other content. Jiang's mother and father went to watch the diving. They just thought the athletes were amazing, especially when they were draped in the national flag, they looked even more handsome.

When Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao were watching the game, they were photographed and interviewed by reporters. They just said a few words, and of course they all supported the country very much.

After watching the game, Sheng Haoxuan went abroad to continue his studies.

At this time, Ge Huiqing gave birth to a daughter. Miao Guifeng was very unhappy when she learned that Ge Huiqing had given birth to a daughter. Miao Guifeng refused to make chicken soup for Ge Huiqing.

In her previous life, Miao Guifeng's eldest son was sold. When she gave birth to Daya, her mother Yang learned it was a girl. She had originally cooked a few extra eggs for Miao Guifeng, but in the end she only gave her two. She didn't give Miao Guifeng the other cooked eggs, let alone kill a chicken for her to eat. In this life, when Miao Guifeng learned her daughter-in-law had given birth to a girl, she didn't think about being nice to Ge Huiqing.

If Ge Huiqing gave birth to a girl, she wouldn't have to worry about having good food. If Miao Guifeng didn't do it, Yang Tianlang would. Ge Huiqing had long ago told Yang Tianlang that they shouldn't rely on Miao Guifeng and her husband. Miao Guifeng treated their own daughter so badly, let alone their granddaughter. Ge Huiqing told Yang Tianlang to learn how to take care of the child himself, and that the couple could take good care of the child.

"My daughter-in-law has been discharged from the hospital." Yang Bingrong reminded Miao Guifeng and asked her to go and see her daughter-in-law.

"She was discharged from the hospital," Miao Guifeng said. "She just gave birth to a girl, a little girl, nothing special."

"..." Yang Bingrong had no choice but to look after his granddaughter by himself.

When Yang Bingrong reached the door, Miao Guifeng said again, "After all, she is my biological granddaughter. I will go with you."

Yang Tianlang had been learning how to take care of a child since Ge Huiqing was pregnant. He was able to change diapers and breastfeed the child. He also learned a lot about the details of breastfeeding a child.

Miao Guifeng and her husband came to see their granddaughter, but Miao Guifeng still disliked her. When she saw the bottle of milk next to her, she wanted to feed the child directly.

"Don't move, don't move." Yang Tianlang saw Miao Guifeng trying to feed the baby directly and quickly stopped her. "The baby's stomach and intestines haven't developed well yet. The baby can't lie down to drink milk. He needs to be in a certain angle. The baby is too small and it's easy for him to choke when drinking milk."

"There are so many things to do. I used to..."

"This is science!" Yang Tianlang stopped Miao Guifeng, "If you encounter it, then the probability is 100%."

Yang Tianlang was afraid that Miao Guifeng would hurt the child, so he asked her not to move. Miao Guifeng was not happy. She felt that she had not done anything to hurt the child, so why were these people making such a fuss?

"Mom, just look after the child." Yang Tianlang said, "You don't have to do anything else, we can do it ourselves."

"You have never taken care of a child before." Miao Guifeng said.

"The past is the past, and the present is the present." Yang Tianlang said, "We also need to learn how to raise children. We need to raise children scientifically."

"Okay, you guys raise the baby scientifically." Miao Guifeng didn't continue looking at her granddaughter. She thought she was just a little girl, what was so precious about her? It was just that these people were so nice to a little girl. Miao Guifeng didn't like girls. She didn't like them in her previous life, and she still doesn't like them in this life.

Yang Tianlang saw that Miao Guifeng didn't like children, and he frowned slightly, "Mom, you guys look after the child. If everything is ok, you can go back."

"Shall we go back?" Miao Guifeng asked.

"Yes." Yang Tianlang said, "My wife is in confinement after giving birth, and I have to take care of the child. I don't have time to cook for you."

"Let's live here..."

"No need." Before Miao Guifeng could finish, Yang Tianlang immediately said, "We can do it ourselves, there's no need for you to come."

Yang Tianlang was worried that Miao Guifeng would take advantage of his absence to harm the child. He had just seen a grandmother harming a child in the group chat. Family planning policy allowed for a second child if the first child had a disability, so some people disabled their firstborn daughter.

When Yang Tianlang saw the news, he felt that those people were particularly terrifying, as they could be so cruel to their own daughter.

"You really don't need to come over." Yang Tianlang said, "My mother-in-law will be here soon."

"Do you want your mother-in-law to take care of your wife? Or take care of your children?" Miao Guifeng asked.

"It's all right." Yang Tianlang said, "Just take care of me a little bit, I can do the work too."

"You do things... before you got married, we didn't let you do these things." Miao Guifeng said sourly, "Now you..."

"That's because I was ignorant before, and you didn't teach me." Yang Tianlang said, "You almost ruined me."

Yang Tianlang was so terrified of playing games that he didn't even dare to top up his account. He felt like he had to rely on his own awareness. If he didn't, life would be terrible. Fortunately, he was aware and didn't end up like his uncle. Yang Tianlang thought these people were terrifying. Why couldn't they teach him a little more?

"A waste of money?" Miao Guifeng didn't expect Yang Tianlang to say such a thing.

"Yes." Yang Tianlang nodded, "This is called flattery."

Miao Guifeng staggered back two steps. She didn't expect her son to say that praise was killing her. When did she ever think of praising her son to death? She just wanted her son to live a good life.

"Mom, your ideas are out of date." Yang Tianlang said, "Just mind your own business. If that doesn't work, just learn more. You'll never stop learning."

"I..." Miao Guifeng opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"My mother-in-law didn't live with me for long. She went back after my wife finished her confinement." Yang Tianlang said.

"Aren't you worried that she will continue to live here?" Miao Guifeng said.

"No, my wife said it was during her confinement period." Yang Tianlang said, "She said that with an elder around, she would also need to be supervised, so it would be better to let her mother go back. Her mother still has to take care of the grandchildren, and it's impossible for her to stay with us forever."

"You...you..." Miao Guifeng couldn't continue.

"Let's go back first." Yang Bingrong couldn't bear to watch it any longer. It would be useless if they continued to stay here.

Yang Bingrong dragged Miao Guifeng out, and Miao Guifeng felt uncomfortable.

After leaving Yang Tianlang's house, Miao Guifeng looked at Yang Bingrong.

"Don't you know how to say a few words?" Miao Guifeng said.

"It's nothing." Yang Bingrong said.

"That's all you know how to say." Miao Guifeng said, "What do you mean by 'nothing'? I think there is something!"

Miao Guifeng was too angry, and Ge Huiqing had Yang Tianlang under her control.

"Don't you know how to take more care of yourself? Tianlang is not only my son, he is also your son." Miao Guifeng said.

"..." Yang Bingrong thought that he really couldn't control anything. When he tried to take care of his son a little bit before, Miao Guifeng would still say that he couldn't control his son like that.

Jiang Moli and the others hadn't returned from the capital yet, even Sheng Haoxuan had gone abroad to study. Jiang Moli still had one more performance to go, and it wasn't over yet. Many people went to see her, including foreigners. Foreigners didn't understand much Chinese, let alone a bit of local dialect, but they still went to listen.

Jiang Moli didn't care about those things, she just performed normally.

After the performance, Jiang Moli and the others toured the capital for a while before returning to South City. The weather was good when they returned to South City.

Niu Cuihua and her husband didn't go to the capital. They couldn't bear to spend money on tickets, as it would have cost a lot, so they preferred to spend less. Niu Cuihua's son got married, and they didn't live with him and his wife. Niu Cuihua didn't want to be kicked out like Miao Guifeng. She knew she had a bad temper and many things she didn't do well, so it would be better for them to live separately sooner rather than later.

"You came at the right time. I bought some things for you. You can take them back later." Jiang's mother said.

Niu Cuihua was sitting in the living room. She saw Jiang's mother take out some things.

"We bought all these things in the capital," Jiang's mother said. "The capital is really becoming more and more prosperous. It's much more prosperous than our South City. After all, the capital is the capital."

"It's also very good here." Niu Cuihua likes Nancheng very much. In her eyes, Nancheng is already a very good place, "better than many people."

"Yes." Jiang's mother nodded.

Niu Cuihua told Jiang's mother about Miao Guifeng, and Jiang Moli listened to a few words.

Jiang Moli thought that for someone like Miao Guifeng, Yang Tianlang would have to speak up for her. If anyone else spoke up, Miao Guifeng would definitely not take them seriously. Miao Guifeng was just that kind of person. She only cared about herself. She was so good to her own son because of her own paranoia. She always thought about how she was laughed at for not having a son in her previous life.

"When the child's grandmother came, Miao Guifeng had an argument with her mother-in-law, saying she couldn't stay with her son all the time." Niu Cuihua said, "It's impossible for an average person to stay that long. She just came to see her daughter and stayed a little longer."

Miao Guifeng was really going too far. Why not just wait and see? Why did she say those things when the other person had only been here for a few days?

Niu Cuihua thought Miao Guifeng's expulsion was understandable. Miao Guifeng was arrogant, completely disregarding her mother-in-law and her son's discomfort. She only thought she was the most important person in the family, and everyone should listen to her.

There was no way those people would listen to what Miao Guifeng said. They all thought Miao Guifeng was talking nonsense.

"When I saw them like that, I decided I shouldn't talk like that anymore," Niu Cuihua said. "Talking like that is so easy to offend people."

"Just be careful yourself," Jiang's mother said. "You can't interfere with other people's affairs."

Jiang's mother was not surprised that Miao Guifeng had become like this. Miao Guifeng herself was rather ignorant and unmotivated, and she was content with selling roasted sweet potatoes and had no intention of changing herself.

"Seeing them like this makes me scared," Niu Cuihua said. "I'm afraid I'll become like that."

"No," Jiang's mother said, "As long as you do your best, it won't happen. But if you don't do your best, it's possible. You and Miao Guifeng are not the same people. Although you both came from the countryside, you are also different."

Jiang's mother never thought that Niu Cuihua was the same as Miao Guifeng. When Miao Guifeng made a mistake, Jiang's mother didn't think that Niu Cuihua would make the same mistake.

"You don't need to be scared by what Miao Guifeng did." Jiang's mother said, "Isn't Jiaojiao living a good life?"

"She is okay." Niu Cuihua said.

Zhao Jiaojiao lives a comfortable life. She has money and doesn't have to worry about too many things.

In the evening, Jiang Moli talked to Sheng Jiahao about Miao Guifeng, and she thought of the situation when she still lived in the compound over there.

"Weren't we still dating back then? She told my sister-in-law that we weren't suitable for each other," Jiang Moli said. "She said you're a college graduate, and I'm just a vocational school graduate. I'm not worthy of you, and that we'll break up sooner or later."

"She's not a good person." Sheng Jiahao said, "She doesn't want you to have a good life."

"There is such an element in it," Jiang Moli said. "She cares too much about what others think of her and doesn't want others to live a good life. This makes her mood very twisted, and her words are also like that. She will say a few words about things that are not her business. She is also thick-skinned when others say something about her. Miao Guifeng is good to her son, and her son has not made any major mistakes, but she is really bad to her daughter."

Miao Guifeng's psychology is very complicated. She doesn't like daughters, but because she had three daughters in her previous life, she gave birth to three daughters. Miao Guifeng clearly favors boys over girls, but she still claims that giving birth to three daughters does not mean she favors boys over girls. Miao Guifeng always likes to cover up her actions, but are her actions easy to cover up?

Everyone who knew Miao Guifeng knew what kind of person she was, and how much she favored boys over girls. It was pointless for Miao Guifeng to explain those things herself.

"After Daya, who worked like a slave for them, got married, her in-laws didn't allow her to work like a slave for her parents. It's better for Daya to live farther away from her parents." Jiang Moli said, "Yang Tianlang's wife is a pretty good person."

Yang Tianlang's wife, Ge Huiqing, didn't think about asking Daya and the others to help with the housework. There was only so much work to do at home, so there was no need to ask Daya to do it. If anyone was really needed to do the work, she could just ask Miao Guifeng to do it. Miao Guifeng would work hard, as long as Yang Tianlang said a few words.

"Yang Tianlang is lucky to have found such a wife. If it were someone else, that person wouldn't dare to go against Miao Guifeng, and I'm afraid life would be difficult." Jiang Moli said, "Miao Guifeng is just too involved. If she was less involved, things wouldn't have come to this."

Many people still live with their parents-in-law. As long as the parents-in-law stay out of their affairs, everyone can live in peace and go on with their lives as usual.

"My sister-in-law is so scared that she doesn't dare to visit her daughter-in-law more often, for fear of upsetting her." Jiang Moli said, "I wouldn't say that's the case. Mom said the same thing. My sister-in-law is not Miao Guifeng. She's conscious again, so she wouldn't do that."

Niu Cuihua and her husband didn't give all the house and demolition compensation to their son and daughter-in-law, but they gave them a portion first. Niu Cuihua and her husband had to leave a way out for themselves, and they had to leave some money for their retirement, so that if their son and daughter-in-law didn't want to support them in the future, they would have money to support themselves in their old age.

"My sister-in-law is from the countryside. Many of her habits are already established and difficult to change." Jiang Moli said, "She is just afraid that she has bad habits and doesn't know it."

"These are all small matters." Sheng Jiahao said, "There's no need to be too cautious."

"Yes." Jiang Moli nodded, "That's what we all said."

"If Haoxuan and the others dare to do this and are very dissatisfied with us, we don't need to bother with them and let them live their own lives." Sheng Jiahao said.

"Not really." Jiang Moli said.

Sheng Haoxuan is still a sensible person. If he chooses a wife, it is impossible for his wife to do a bad job.

After Ge Huiqing finished her confinement and the baby's full-moon banquet was held, Ge Huiqing's mother left first. Miao Guifeng didn't even need to tell her; Ge Huiqing's mother knew she was leaving. Before leaving, Ge's mother even told Ge Huiqing that Miao Guifeng had a bad temper and asked her to be more careful.

Ge Huiqing is not afraid of Miao Guifeng. She wants to spend her whole life with Yang Tianlang, not with Miao Guifeng.

Even after Ge's mother left, Miao Guifeng was still unhappy.

While at home, Miao Guifeng told her husband, "If I hadn't told her not to stay here long-term, she might have stayed."

"Aren't we going back?" Yang Bingrong said.

"I told you," Miao Guifeng said, "We don't even live with our son and daughter-in-law. Why should my mother-in-law live there?"

Miao Guifeng thought of Jiang Moli and her husband. Jiang Moli brought her parents with her when she got married, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all. Jiang Moli's parents-in-law lived in another house.

"We can't let Ge Huiqing become Jiang Moli." Miao Guifeng said, "Ge Huiqing's parents don't have no sons. Her parents should follow others, not Ge Huiqing."

"No," Yang Bingrong said, "I won't follow Ge Huiqing."

"Who knows?" Miao Guifeng said, "These people might really do that. We are in South City, which is such a great place. They will definitely have some ideas."

"..." Yang Bingrong didn't say much. It was useless to say anything. Miao Guifeng had made up her mind and no one could say anything.

Miao Guifeng planned to keep a closer eye on Ge Huiqing and not let the Ge family come to take advantage of her.

Ge Huiqing didn't know that Miao Guifeng was going to keep an eye on her. She didn't expect her family to stay with her all the time. She told Yang Tianlang that she really didn't want to be controlled by her elders. Even if Ge Huiqing said that, Miao Guifeng would never believe it. Miao Guifeng was too paranoid and only believed what she thought.

Even though nothing happened, Miao Guifeng could imagine a lot of things.

Miao Guifeng doesn't consider other people's opinions. Even when others explain things to her, she feels like they're trying to trick her. Yang Bingrong told her to keep selling roasted sweet potatoes, sell more, and not dwell on the things that might or might not be. But Miao Guifeng continued to dwell on those things, and Yang Bingrong had no idea what to do.

Xie Shaojun's life abroad was not particularly good. He was accidentally involved in a gunfight and died.

When Xie Shaojun's wife learned that he had died abroad, she was a little bit in disbelief. Gao Yuelan thought that after Xie Shaojun ran away, she would not hear from him anymore. Xie Shaojun found another woman abroad and married a foreign woman, but they had no children. After Xie Shaojun died, his foreign wife did not want to get involved too much, so the relevant personnel notified Gao Yuelan.

Gao Yuelan and Xie Shaojun had a child. Now that Xie Shaojun is dead, Gao Yuelan and her child should know about it.

"Doesn't he have a foreign wife? Why is he coming to us?" Gao Yuelan was speechless when she received the call.

Gao Yuelan hadn't known Xie Shaojun's specific situation before, only that he was abroad. Xie Shaojun occasionally called the children, but only briefly exchanged a few words before hanging up. Xie Shaojun was simply afraid of being caught by the police; he was a wanted criminal, and fleeing abroad wouldn't change his status.

Relevant departments would periodically ask Gao Yuelan about Xie Shaojun's situation, but she would always say she didn't know. When Xie Shaojun called, he wouldn't tell her where he was.

"Just cremate him, scatter him into the sea, or bury him under a tree," Gao Yuelan said. "We won't go abroad."
