Xu Xining adores this new life, free from the heavy burdens of her previous identity and suffocating responsibilities.
What she feels most is the love from her family and the freedom of livin...
Mr. Jiang couldn't explain why this had happened. Mrs. Jiang's mother was on the verge of suicide, while Mrs. Jiang just kept crying and wouldn't say anything when asked.
The die is cast, so marriage is the only option.
Jiang's father's female classmate couldn't accept it and went abroad.
How could such a petty trick escape Old Master Jiang's eyes? He knew his eldest son's character all too well. Needless to say, he already had a girlfriend, but even if he didn't, he wouldn't do such a thing.
Although the two were allowed to marry, Grandpa Jiang still harbored resentment towards his eldest daughter-in-law. So, after Jiang Juecheng was born, he asked his wife to bring the child over so they could take care of him themselves, simply because he was afraid that Jiang's mother would spoil the child.
Later, when his grandson was born, Grandpa Jiang was too busy to take him in immediately, thinking that his biological mother wouldn't mistreat him. Little did he know that the child was unlucky and would suffer brain damage from a fever.
Actually, Grandpa Jiang really likes this little grandson; he's so young yet already shows great intelligence.
Later, the grandson drowned in the large vat.
At that time, Grandpa Jiang thought that perhaps for his grandson, leaving like this would be a relief.
When the family divided their property, he specifically arranged for his eldest son's family to live with him in the compound. He thought that with his eldest daughter-in-law under his watchful eye, she would behave herself.
Mrs. Jiang was still quite afraid of Mr. Jiang, so she shut her mouth as soon as she saw him return.
After glancing at Jiang's mother, Old Master Jiang called Jiang Juecheng into the study.
Hearing Jiang Juecheng's words, Old Master Jiang was so angry he laughed.
Grandpa Jiang: "She's really grown up. For so many years, I've turned a blind eye to her bullying us outside because of her father and the fact that she bore children for our Jiang family. I never expected that she would go even further and start acting like a big shot."
Jiang Juecheng: "Grandpa, we can't get involved with the Yu family."
Grandpa Jiang: "I know, I will handle it."
That very evening, Mr. Jiang called his eldest son.
Perhaps the warning from Mr. Jiang had an effect, because Mrs. Jiang calmed down, and Li Youxuan stopped coming to the Jiang family. Even when the two wanted to meet, it was outside.
The Li family acted quickly; the day after receiving the call, Mr. and Mrs. Li brought their youngest son to Kyoto.
The elders of both families met in the presence of Jiang's mother.
At this point, Jiang's mother dared not mention that she was related to the Yu family by marriage anymore, and only said that she was the matchmaker.
Although Old Master Yu was unhappy, he did not think that Jiang's mother could get rid of the Yu family. As long as she was still a daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, the Yu family and the Jiang family could be tied together.
Grandpa Yu had a good impression of Li's father, after all, he had been a soldier and they had something in common. But Grandpa Yu looked down on Li's mother. His eyes were full of greed, and he was a person who couldn't be brought to the table.
And that younger brother, what is he? He's just a good-for-nothing.
If it weren't for the need to get in touch with the Jiang family, Old Master Yu would never have agreed to this marriage.
Yu Jiabao quite liked Li Youxuan. He enjoyed her gentleness and thoughtfulness, and he often felt her admiration for him.
The engagement is settled, and the wedding is scheduled for July 28th.
When Li's mother went back, she secretly left her youngest son behind. By the time Li Youxuan found out, it was too late.
Mu Jinghuai and Qin Yao's wedding followed the same pattern as Jiang Juecheng's, except that since both of them were children of the compound, the scale of the celebration was even more lively.
Old Master Yu was quite active this time. Who doesn't know that the Jiang family and the Mu family have a good relationship?
Xu Xinning, the pregnant woman, was given special protection.
Because Xu Xinning is pregnant, Mu Jingheng has been walking unsteadily lately, and he boasts about how amazing he is whenever he sees someone.
Xu Xinning doesn't want to go out anymore. Every time she goes out, people tease her: "Mr. Mu's wife, your Mr. Mu is really amazing. He was the first among them to become a father."
"Judging from Mu Lao Er's reckless behavior, he probably does it seven times a night."
"Seven times in one night? Second Brother Mu's wife, you've really worked hard!"
As soon as Xu Xinning returned, she grabbed Mu Jingheng's ear and scolded him.
Why is this person so foul-mouthed?
Seeing the two of them playing around like that terrified Grandma Xu: "Oh dear! You two little devils! You'd better watch out!"
Mu Jingshu, eager to join in the fun, exclaimed, "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I can be your substitute for your hands!"
On her wedding day, Xu Xinning didn't go to the cafeteria to join the fun; instead, her grandmother ate at home with her.
Xu Xinning was happy to have some free time.
The wedding was very lively, and Mu Jingheng drank a lot of the wine for Mu Jinghuai's sake, all for the sake of Mu Jinghuai's happy life.
Of course, Mu Jingheng didn't actually drink it; he poured all the wine into his spatial storage.
Xu Xinning became very sensitive to smells after becoming pregnant, and Mu Jingheng didn't want to be unable to go to bed at night.
"Jinghuai, Jingheng's wife is pregnant, you'd better hurry up!" someone joked.
"How can you compare to Shichijiro!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Mu Jingheng wasn't angry. He said, "Don't be sour grapes. You all just wait. My son will be the boss in the future. Be careful when your kids grow up, or I'll beat you up."
How do you know it's a son? What if it's a daughter?
Mu Jingheng: "If it's a daughter, then she's the eldest."
Another burst of laughter erupted.
Grandpa Yu took his eldest grandson everywhere to socialize, carrying a wine glass as if he were a groom. He told everyone he met that he had become in-laws with the Jiang family. Those who knew the truth just laughed mockingly, while those who didn't were more polite.
Old Master Wu sat with Old Master Jiang, and he sighed, saying, "How did Old Yu get into this state!"
Grandpa Jiang snorted coldly, "He's always been like this, it's just not as obvious before."
Old Master Mu replied in a serious tone, "Perhaps he realized he was nearing the end and became anxious."
Grandpa Wu took it seriously and asked in surprise, "When did this happen?"
Grandpa Mu smiled slyly, "Old Wu, didn't you notice?"
Mr. Wu thought to himself, "I'm not a doctor, how can I tell?"
Grandpa Qin chuckled: "Old Wu, you're still so easy to fool."
Grandpa Wu pretended to raise his hand and said, "This kid is so old, why is he still so naughty!"
Grandpa Jiang said, "He's now called a cunning old fox. His grandson is just like him, with more than eight hundred tricks up his sleeve."
At this moment, Du Zhong leaned over and whispered, "I heard that the eldest grandson of the Yu family is engaged?"
Du Zhong grinned slyly and said, "Do you know that his granddaughter-in-law originally had her eye on our Changpu?"
Grandpa Wu asked in surprise, "Is that so?"
Du Zhong: "We have to thank Teacher Xu from the Mu family for this. That girl used to be in the same dormitory as Teacher Xu, oh! She was also in the same dormitory as the granddaughter-in-law of the Jiang family. This girl's character isn't very good. She had her eye on our calamus and was trying to create opportunities for us. When I found out, I stepped in to stop her."
