Peng Cuiying's loud voice attracted many customers in the store to watch the spectacle.

Jiang Qiaoqiao's eyes darted around, and her eyes were already red.

She looked at the two of them with a heartbroken expression. "Mom, why do you have to treat me like this? Although you raised my sister and you have a deep bond with her, I am your biological daughter."

"You even brought my sister to buy new clothes, wearing a brand new dress. I wore patched clothes to my wedding yesterday, and now that I'm getting married, I'm buying myself a nice dress with my own money, and you want me to leave all the money to my sister?"

"My sister married into the countryside; she went there herself first..."

"Shut up!"

Seeing that Jiang Qiaoqiao was about to reveal the affair between Jiang Yiran and Qin Haiyang in public, Peng Cuiying quickly shouted at her.

This county town isn't very big, but it's not small either; only a limited number of people actually come to the Friendship Store.

Jiang Jiahua was the deputy director of the county's food factory, and Peng Cuiying was the factory's accountant. The family was considered prominent figures in the county, and everyone knew them.

Once Jiang Qiaoqiao reveals the truth, not only will Jiang Yiran's reputation be ruined, but the entire Jiang family will also be subject to gossip and criticism.

Jiang Qiaoqiao knew what Peng Cuiying was worried about.

Let's not talk about that anymore.

She glanced at Jiang Yiran with a hint of resentment, "Little sister, although you were engaged to Bei Xiao before, I'm now married to him, and you're married too. It's not appropriate for you to still call Bei Xiao 'brother,' is it? People might think you still have feelings for him..."

"Ranran, what happened?"

Before Jiang Qiaoqiao could finish speaking, Qin Haiyang's somewhat deep voice came through.

Jiang Yiran quickly turned around and saw Qin Haiyang walking over with a grim expression.

Jiang Yiran glared at Jiang Qiaoqiao and took Qin Haiyang's arm. "Brother Haiyang, you're here! It's nothing, Mom and I just happened to run into my sister, so we chatted with her for a while."

Qin Haiyang looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao and nodded slightly in greeting, "Sister."

His polite demeanor was impeccable.

Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled and responded, knowing that Qin Haiyang had overheard Jiang Yiran calling Beixiao "brother".

Qin Haiyang is the most suspicious person.

Jiang Yiran's words, which were clearly somewhat evasive, only fueled Qin Haiyang's imagination.

However, Qin Haiyang was quite considerate in front of Peng Cuiying, looking at Jiang Yiran with a gentle expression and asking, "Ranran, is your sister coming to Mom's house for dinner with us today?"

Jiang Yiran glanced at Jiang Qiaoqiao smugly, "My sister came out alone today. I guess my brother-in-law is busy and doesn't have time to accompany her. She probably doesn't have time to go back to Mom's house for dinner with us either!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but sneer inwardly as she looked at Jiang Yiran's affected manner.

hehe!

She wanted to see how long Jiang Yiran could remain a loving couple with him.

Peng Cuiying, who was standing nearby, also said, "She's married now and has her own family. How can she go back to her parents' home every few days to freeload? Unlike Ranran, she doesn't know how to be considerate and caring towards me and her father. What's the point of going back? Is she just going to cause us trouble?"

Peng Cuiying was not polite at all.

Jiang Qiaoqiao lowered her eyes, tugged at her patched old clothes, and looked on the verge of tears. "Mom, I understand. From now on, I will eat at my own home before going back to see you and Dad."

Jiang Qiaoqiao's obedient appearance caught Peng Cuiying off guard.

At this moment, among those who had been paying attention to them, someone who knew Peng Cuiying finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He muttered to the person next to him, "The adopted daughter has brought her son-in-law home for dinner. How can he be so harsh on his own daughter? I really don't know what Accountant Peng is thinking."

"That's right. Their biological daughter suffered so much in the countryside for so many years, and now that they've brought her back, they haven't treated her well at all. Even after she got married, they're still so harsh on her husband. Their hearts are just too biased."

...

Although their murmurs were quiet, they still reached the ears of Jiang Qiaoqiao and her companions.

Jiang Qiaoqiao lowered her head and slightly curled the corners of her lips.

That's exactly the effect she wanted.

Before the Jiang family spreads rumors to ruin her reputation, they ruin the Jiang family's reputation first.

In her past life, after she and Qin Haiyang made money, the Jiang family did their best to smear her reputation.

Some say she stole Jiang Yiran's marriage, which is why she is so wealthy now.

They said she was unfilial to her parents, unloving to her brothers and sisters, and that she was an ingrate.

In her past life, her kindness towards the Jiang family stemmed partly from her longing for kinship, and partly from the moral blackmail imposed on her by the Jiang family.

Qin Haiyang is extremely suspicious and has a strong sense of self-esteem. When he hears these comments from the Jiang family, he just goes home and throws a tantrum.

For the sake of family harmony, she did everything she could to be good to the Jiang family.

I never expected that in the end... it would end up like that.

Peng Cuiying's face turned green.

He glared at Jiang Qiaoqiao with resentment. This debt collector, all she knows is eating. Is she a reincarnated starving ghost?

But Peng Cuiying dared not say these words aloud.

She adjusted her expression and said, "Qiaoqiao, it's not that Mom doesn't want you to come home for dinner. It's just that you came out alone today, and Beixiao didn't come with you either. You went to Mom's, and when Beixiao came home, the house was cold and empty. He's probably angry."

So, the day after tomorrow, have Beixiao make time to come back with you. Mom will prepare two nice meals; it'll be your and your sister's homecoming feast.

Jiang Qiaoqiao immediately showed a look of joy and gratitude, "Thank you, Mom."

Jiang Yiran was already clenching her fists in anger.

She couldn't help but speak up, "Sister, you must make sure to explain to your brother-in-law that this is a homecoming banquet. There's no reason for a married daughter to go back alone for the homecoming banquet."
