First, Jiang Jiang chased after an old man for over ten years, causing herself to lose face. She finally figured things out, but now her brother-in-law has relapsed.

He's not going to be with Jiang Jiang anymore. Xia Wenjing may be older, but he's still a regimental commander.

But Jiang Huan fell in love with an uneducated old woman from a small town with five children. I don't know what got into him.

She introduced him to so many young women from good families who were beautiful and young, but he didn't like any of them.

He should have said he liked older women earlier; I could have introduced him to a few decent ones.

“If you go, don’t say anything when you get there. That’s Jiang Huan’s business. He’s willing to do it himself, and it’s none of your business.” Jiang Shuo looked at Sun Cuiping with displeasure.

“Do you think I want to go? It’s all because of your mother. She insisted that I had to go and that I had to prepare gifts. Just thinking about becoming sisters-in-law with those rural women makes me feel terrible.” Sun Cuiping’s mind was filled with images of the rude, overweight, and foul-mouthed women she had seen in the countryside.

“If you’re going, then you’d better stop acting like a capitalist. Otherwise, you might as well not go. If Mom kicks you out, you’ll be the one who loses face.” Jiang Shuo looked at Sun Cuiping with a serious expression.

To be honest, Jiang Shuo and Sun Cuiping didn't have many common needs.

Sun Cuiping is vain, loves to compare herself to others, cares about her image, and likes to control others.

However, no one in the family was willing to let her take control.

“What, am I not as presentable as her youngest daughter-in-law?” Sun Cuiping said unhappily.

She used to be inferior to her sister-in-law, and now she's even inferior to Jiang Huan's wife?

Jiang Shuo didn't want to continue this topic with Sun Cuiping.

Sun Cuiping wanted to say a few more things, but seeing that Jiang Shuo ignored her, she lost the desire to continue.

Jiang Jiang was overjoyed and came early to help Old Madam Jiang decorate the house.

After arranging everything, Tao Ying boarded the train to Shanghai.

She changed her clothes again before getting off the bus: low-heeled ankle boots, a long skirt, and a wool coat. Her hair was tied up and adorned with a jade hairpin, making her look elegant and sophisticated.

The train was more than an hour late, and Jiang Huan was so anxious he could hardly bear it.

"Don't stretch your neck, or you'll break it. Didn't they announce over there that the train is delayed?" Jiang Jiang said sarcastically.

"It's definitely because of you that the train was delayed." Jiang Huan looked at Jiang Jiang with disdain.

I told her not to come, but she insisted. She has no self-awareness at all. I haven't seen Xiaoying for so long, doesn't she know to give herself some space?

"Are you being unreasonable? Third Brother, how can you be like this? I helped you buy a house and renovate it, and now you've made an enemy of me?" Jiang Jiang looked at Jiang Huan in disbelief.

She felt that this man was heartless; was she still his sister?

"One thing at a time. I came to pick up Xiaoying. Why did you have to come along? Don't you know you shouldn't be a third wheel?" Jiang Huan showed no remorse whatsoever.

“I think my sister Tao is no good, you two have a lifetime together.” Jiang Jiang argued angrily with Jiang Huan.

Although I know I acted impulsively and forgot about it, I absolutely cannot admit it, adhering to the principle of not losing face even if I lose the argument.

“We don’t have a lifetime left, we’ve only had half a lifetime together, and we still have to live apart. With so little time to spend together, you’re still causing trouble. Has Tang Xiao been neglecting you lately? I’ll beat him up for you.” Jiang Huan clenched his fists.

He couldn't bring himself to hit his sister, but he could certainly vent his anger by hitting Tang Xiao.

"Can you beat Tang Xiao? How old are you?" Jiang Jiang looked Jiang Huan up and down last time, with a skeptical attitude.

Tang Xiao is ten years younger than his third brother, and he's still in his prime.

"Who do you think you are?" Jiang Huan couldn't stand the word "old" these days.

"Isn't the train coming?" Jiang Jiang asked, pointing to the train in the distance, realizing she had hit her third brother in the back.

Jiang Huan immediately stood up straight and even straightened his buzz cut.

Jiang Jiang secretly grimaced, wondering what was so great about fixing that messy hair.

Even if you roll around on the ground, it won't make a mess, okay?

Tao Ying was waiting at the door early. As soon as she came out, she saw Jiang Huan grinning and Jiang Jiang smiling.

"Aren't you cold wearing so little?" Tao Ying handed the suitcase to Jiang Huan and couldn't help but ask when she saw that Jiang Huan was only wearing a jacket.

Even wearing a wool coat, I still feel a bit chilly.

"It's okay, I'm in good shape, I'm not cold." Jiang Huan patted his chest vigorously.

He then reached out to hold Tao Ying's hand.

As a result, he saw Tao Ying walk right past him and link arms with Jiang Jiang as they walked forward.

Jiang Huan gritted his teeth, looking at the two figures with a resentful expression.

"Sister Tao, if looks could kill, I think I'd be riddled with holes by now," Jiang Jiang whispered to Tao Ying.

"Do you have a lot of family members?" Tao Ying was actually a little nervous.

“Not many, just my parents, my eldest brother and sister-in-law, my second brother and sister-in-law, and Jiang Huan. The kids weren't allowed to come back, otherwise it would be too noisy. My second sister-in-law is the most troublesome. If she says something nasty later, don't tolerate her. Just talk her back. Don't worry, I'll help you.” Jiang Jiang really disliked Sun Cuiping.

They're always striving to be better than others. They're always comparing themselves to this person and that person.

But if you compare yourself, no one will say anything.

But Sun Cuiping even compared herself to her family members, which is a bit shameless.

Jiang Jiang had wanted to argue with Sun Cuiping for a long time, but without outside help and not being good at arguing herself, she was afraid of losing the argument, so she had been holding back.

"You're no good as a sister-in-law either, how could you encourage your sister-in-law to quarrel?" Tao Ying raised her hand and affectionately pinched Jiang Jiang's cheek.

"You'll find out when the time comes, but don't argue with her while I'm not around. If you start a fight, you won't be able to beat her." Jiang Jiang didn't want to explain.

To truly understand someone, you have to get to know them through shared experiences.

"Okay," Tao Ying replied cheerfully.

Jiang Huan looked at the two of them; they were practically turning into gloomy mushrooms.

But with Tao Ying around, no one dared to say anything, because it was obvious without even guessing that they couldn't side with him.

When they arrived at the car, Jiang Huan put the suitcase in the trunk, and Tao Ying and Jiang Jiang were already sitting in the back seat.

Jiang Huan sighed and drove off in silence.

Jiang Jiang and Tao Ying started talking. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had endless things to talk about.

Jiang Huan felt like the days were dragging on endlessly, while Tao Ying and Jiang Jiang felt it was all too short.

When the car drove into the compound, Tao Ying stopped chatting with Jiang Jiang, tidied her appearance, and composed herself.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Huan opened the trunk, which contained the gift that Tao Ying had asked Jiang Jiang to prepare in advance. Jiang Huan carried it, while Tao Ying and Jiang Jiang walked behind, arm in arm.
