The daughter is amazing, the wife is amazing, but he's just wasting his days doing nothing. Won't he become a laughingstock?

"That's settled then," Old Madam Jiang snorted coldly. "Don't forget, I gave birth to a celestial being. How could I be an ordinary person to give birth to a daughter like this?"

"You...are just making excuses!"

She made it sound like the truth, even though it was clearly a fallacy.

If I hadn't been so strong-willed, I might have been fooled again.

"You're the one being unreasonable," the old lady said disdainfully. "You're incompetent yourself, but you won't let me stand up for you. Do you think everyone knows what you're thinking?"

That's despicable!

When she's willing to be superior to him, it's only because she's not good enough; it's really unbearable to watch.

She didn't want to just sit there anxiously waiting!

"No," Old Master Jiang's heart skipped a beat, "You didn't actually agree, did you?"

"Not yet," the old lady said hesitantly. "I would like to, but I don't have the nerve. What does the Huang family's title mean to me? My daughter has already had a hard time supporting the two of us. I can't just take everything from her house."

Upon hearing this, the old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily I didn't agree, otherwise I would have been so anxious that I got blisters on my lips.

If I were to agree to this, I don't know how much criticism I would face, and even my own daughter would be scolded along with it.

"It's good that you didn't agree," he said, having completely lost interest in fishing. "We have no worries about food or clothing now, and we don't have to worry about anything. Many people envy us. Don't take our good fortune for granted."

"How can you talk like that?" the old lady said, displeased. "I just wanted to make things easier for my daughter; I meant well."

"Alright, alright, we all know each other. You're willing to help your daughter, but you're more interested in showing off. After all these years, do you think I don't know you?"

The old woman was never a peaceful person; she was more cunning than a hair on her head. In the past, when the family was poor, she didn't dare to cause trouble.

Now that his daughter is there to protect him, he's been itching to do something, but he just hasn't found the right opportunity yet, which is why he hasn't caused any major trouble for the time being.

"What do you know?!" The old woman retorted angrily, grabbing him directly. "Even showing off is better than you just loafing around all day, having no ambition whatsoever!"

"Say what you will," the old man said, tired of hearing it. "I'm going out to check on the quail. You stay here by yourself."

"You leave, and I'll agree to my daughter's request the moment you leave!"

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately stopped and turned around, looking helplessly at his wife, "What are you trying to do now?"

Can't you let him go out and have some fun?

"I'm heartbroken," the old lady wrinkled her nose, looking very conflicted. "A female marquis? I've never heard of her before. If I could become one, I'd be so proud I'd be floating on air. The Jiang family ancestors would be so honored to have me..."

"Stop," the old man interrupted her rambling, "That's not true. One should be more realistic and stop dreaming before it gets dark."

The old man scoffed at the old lady's idea.

Women, no matter how clever, are still naive; they know it's impossible, yet they still dream of good things.

"Old man," Grandma Jiang said angrily, putting her hands on her hips and growling, "Do you want to start a fight?"

I was already feeling down.

I just want to hear a few kind words from my spouse when I call them home.

As a result, the more I talked about it, the more upset I became!

Did this person eat garlic? Their breath stinks!

Given his character, if she weren't worried about how her daughter would feel, she would have agreed immediately.

Even if nothing can be done, seeing the old man's stern face is good enough.

“That’s unreasonable,” Old Master Jiang said, though he was feeling guilty, he still straightened his chest. “I’m just afraid you’ll really get the idea. If it were the Jiang family’s title, you could do whatever you wanted. But this belongs to the Huang family. If we take it away, what will the Huang family think?”

"Besides, this isn't something we can do as we please. If we anger the Emperor, who knows what trouble might arise? We really can't afford to make a fuss!"

A person who asks for nothing else just wants peace and stability.

The old man is very satisfied with his current life and does not want to cause any further trouble.

“If I hadn’t known all this, I would have agreed long ago,” the old lady said with great reluctance. “What a pity, such a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.”

“Even for tens of millions of years, it won’t work,” the old man said dismissively. “We shouldn’t reach for things that aren’t within our reach, and we shouldn’t accept them even if they’re offered to us. That’s our principle.”

The old man somewhat understood his wife's feelings.

If this happened to him, he wouldn't be able to stay calm either.

Both are just waiting to die, but the Marquis is obviously more respectable. He also wants to be a superior person, but one must know one's own limitations.

As he thought about it, the old man felt a pang of envy.

Why didn't this happen to me?

He's clearly his biological father too.

He only thinks of his wife when there are good things to do, but doesn't he think of his father?

The old man was feeling down and not at all happy.

He felt that he was being ignored, completely ignored.

“I understand the big picture, but I just can’t bear to part with it, that’s why I’m talking to you,” the old lady said with a pained expression. “What a great opportunity, what a pity, I feel like I’ll regret it for two or three months.”

However, if you agree, you might regret it for the rest of your life.

"I'd love to experience what it's like to regret something," the old man said, pursing his lips. "Unfortunately, no one gives me that chance."

The room reeked of vinegar, causing the old lady to instinctively take a few steps back, but her mood improved considerably. "That's true," she said, "so many people want to regret it, but they don't even have the chance."

As he spoke, his meaningful gaze lingered for a moment on the person who was emitting a sour smell.

"I can't be bothered to talk to you."

One sentence angered the old man so much that he turned and left.

That troublesome old woman! I try to comfort her with good intentions, but she always ends up making fun of herself by stepping on my sore spots. I've never met anyone like her.

However, he only dared to complain in his heart.

If his spouse knew about these little thoughts, that would be a different story altogether.

The old lady, feeling a bit better, stopped causing trouble, waved her hand, and mercifully let the person out.

Then, he turned around and went to mess with those little brats.

The elderly couple did not deliberately conceal their conversation.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan couldn't help but chuckle.

It's a real shame that these two don't perform Northeast Errenzhuan (a traditional folk art form).

Hearing An San's report from the side, Xie Shi couldn't help but swallow hard. "Mother, are you serious? You really want Grandma to become a female marquis?"

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Nuan eagerly.

Having known the news for some time, An San remained completely calm.

Even so, I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "There are always oddballs every year, but the Huang family is especially full of them."

Since he arrived here, he has encountered countless things that defy imagination.

Almost everything they did was jaw-dropping, but the Huang family didn't seem to care.

This ambition is undeniably grand.

“Of course I’m serious,” Jiang Nuan nodded and continued to explain, “Your grandmother is actually very capable, she just lacks an opportunity.”

Although the Jiang family is indeed poor, they have managed to get by smoothly all these years, which is quite an achievement!
