When Mr. Jiang came home from work, he was a little surprised to see his little daughter. However, he didn't say much, thinking she missed her parents.

After washing his hands, he took the towel handed to him by his wife and dried his hands. He said to Jiang Jiangyu beside him, "Eat early and leave early. Don't go out for nothing these two days."

Jiang Jiangyu nodded and watched the old man sit down to eat. He thought about sitting next to him, picked up a bowl of corn porridge, drank it hurriedly without knowing the taste, and waited there quietly.

"Daughter, have some pumpkin pie. Don't get angry. Nothing is more important than filling your stomach."

After hearing what his wife said, Mr. Jiang asked, "Have you told her everything?"

"Why hide it? We can still tell the truth. People outside are complicated. They have to beat around the bush when they speak. It's so tiring!"

Jiang Jiangyu pushed away the pumpkin cake handed to her by her mother, picked up a steamed bun from the dining table, took a bite absentmindedly, and just as she swallowed it, she almost choked. She quickly stretched her neck, grabbed the soup and gulped it down.

Old Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes at her and said, "I think you've had too much of a good life. You're so lazy even when you eat. I don't even grind the skin off this steamed bun like other people do."

Mr. Jiang waved his hand at his wife, asking her to stop talking, then glanced at his daughter. "Don't ask about anything else. Your father-in-law will take care of everything. Just take care of yourself."

"Dad, I want to tell you something. Please finish eating first."

Old Master Jiang frowned, said nothing, hurriedly ate the remaining steamed bread in his hand, stood up and motioned for her to follow.

The father and daughter entered the room. Looking at his daughter, Mr. Jiang pulled out a chair from under the desk and said, "Sit down and talk."

"Dad, will my mother-in-law affect us brothers Shengli this time?"

Mr. Jiang sighed.

"Dad, what should we do about our family?"

Old Master Jiang said in a deep voice, "Go back to the northwest as soon as possible! Leave the rest to your father-in-law, and go back and tell the Shengli brothers to stop making such a fuss. I've told them so many times, but these two kids won't listen. I'm their grandfather, how can I harm them?

Your father-in-law often praises his grandson, but I think he's spoiled him to the point of being overly arrogant. You haven't been in the capital, so you don't know how many friends the Zhou family's son-in-law has made. He's incredibly well-mannered, and no one who's been around him has anything bad to say about him. If you don't believe me, ask your eldest nephew; even he says he's warm-hearted and loyal, a true friend.

Jiang Jiangyu asked in surprise, "What does that kid want to do? No one will accuse him of using connections."

Old Master Jiang sneered, "Do you think Zhou Xiaozheng is stupid? Would he not give guidance to his only son-in-law? Even an old man like me admires his behavior."

Seeing his daughter's puzzled expression, he sighed and continued, "Let me put it this way. If a stranger on the street can't pull the cart, he will run over to help; if a young couple encounters a thief on the street, they will rush over to help catch him; last time your mother couldn't pull the melon shed by herself, she happened to see him and called him, and he helped your mother pull it without saying a word, let your mother rest, and then continued to help your mother with her work. Who wouldn't like a child like this?"

At this point, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "He must have done a lot of good things. People often send him letters of praise, and even several people his age are often praised."

Jiang Jiangyu laughed sarcastically, "You're really willing to spend the money!"

"Don't be unconvinced. That kid is truly good. I heard he was named an outstanding cadre this year. He's calm, has a college degree, and comes from a good family. His future is limitless. Otherwise, why would all those senior leaders like him? There's a reason for it. Your father-in-law praised the kid when he came back, and he certainly wasn't wrong about him. What a pity..."

Jiang Jiangyu curled her lips and didn't refute, but she was still not convinced in her heart. If her son had a father-in-law like Zhou Xiaozheng, there would be no need to say anything.

Seeing the disdain in his daughter's eyes, Mr. Jiang didn't say anything more. He had wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided it was unnecessary. The relationship between the two families had come to an end, so there was no need to remind them again.

Jiang Jiangyu ran outside the door and looked around. Seeing that there was no one there, she rubbed against Mr. Jiang and whispered to him what she had heard that night.

After hearing this, Mr. Jiang's face turned blue and red. After listening, he sighed again.

Facing his daughter's anxious expression, he waved his hand and asked her to sit down in peace. After a long while, he finally said, "Your father-in-law is doing this for you."

He didn't know what to say next.

Everyone has different pursuits, and he doesn't want to belittle others. Even if it were him, he would definitely retire and return home, but after all, it was the Lin family's family affair, so he couldn't express his opinion.

"Dad, I hate my mother-in-law so much. What do you think about the children's marriages?"

Master Jiang stared at her. "You still don't understand reality. Ever since you were expelled, your child's marriage has become a real problem. It's too high a price to pay, too low a price to pay. Don't put the blame on outsiders."

Jiang Jiangyu blushed and stammered, "Well, you have the old man with you, and there are still many people who like the child."

"Bullshit! You have a tainted mother-in-law, and you're not going to marry her. Are you still dreaming? Go back to the northwest and arrange a marriage for the two brothers. Don't think too much."

What I hate most is you people's talk of being well-matched. After a few days of good times, you forget that you also come from humble backgrounds. If that's what you say, should I have given up your mother and married a younger wife? "

Jiang Jiangyu was speechless after being scolded by him. How could she have forgotten the warning her father gave her when he saved her?

Seeing his little daughter's pitiful appearance, Mr. Jiang couldn't bear it anymore. "Listen to Daddy, don't even think about being transferred back. The family can settle down in the northwest. You are my own daughter, how can I bear to leave you? You haven't been in the capital for a long time. You only see the surface and don't know how deep the water is here. This place is not suitable for you."

Jiang Jiangyu knew it was pointless to say anything more. Her father wouldn't give her any advice and kept telling her to go back to the northwest. She nodded obediently.

"Stay out of the Lin family's business. Once the holidays are over, take the three of them home early. Your father-in-law is a man who would risk his life for his descendants. He will handle this matter well."

Jiang Jiangyu nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay. Then I'll go back first."

Old Master Jiang accompanied her out of the yard, and watched her back as she carried the net bag with a worried look on her face. He felt that this trouble-making girl was still not giving up.

Looking back, he saw his wife looking worried. He smiled and patted her shoulder, "The children have grown up. They know how to live."

After hearing this, Old Lady Jiang relaxed her deeply furrowed brows, smiled, and nodded, saying, "That's what the second son said at the beginning. Forget it, let's not talk about these unpleasant things. Dad, I steamed a lot of pumpkin cakes and am sending them to the children now so they can have a taste. Is there anything you want me to convey?"

Mr. Jiang smiled and shook his head, "Be careful on the way. If they send you back, don't push them."

Mrs. Jiang patted her clothes and said, "No need. You're tired from work, I can just take the bus over. You didn't eat a good dinner, remember to eat by yourself when you're hungry."

Old Man Jiang watched his wife hurriedly begin to pack several portions, leaving the pitiful three for himself. Thinking of Lao Lin's actions, and watching his wife happily leave, he sighed deeply.
