Jiang Yi lowered his eyes, "I accidentally bumped my head earlier, and I forgot some things..."

Jiang Yin immediately stood on tiptoe and reached out to flip his hair. "How did you get hurt? Why didn't you tell your family? Is everything alright? Is there anything still bothering you?"

..."

Faced with a barrage of questions, Jiang Yi didn't dare let her continue. "Auntie, everything's fine now. I just forgot a few minor things, but nothing else has affected my life."

It's already good enough if he has some memories at all. When he first arrived, it was the moment his head hit the ground, which must have had some impact.

Sometimes he felt his mind was in complete chaos, unable to distinguish between the two sets of memories, and wondering which one was his life.

Given his condition, there was no way he could stay any longer, especially since everyone around him knew his habits inside and out.

He dared not underestimate those people's keenness. It was just a slight difference, but they noticed it immediately. Fortunately, he bumped his head this time and used the excuse of amnesia to get by, but that was not a long-term solution.

After much deliberation, he could only use health issues as an excuse to leave.

"It's good that he's alright," Jiang Yin felt a little relieved. Her family only had this one nephew left, and if something had happened to him, she really might not have been able to bear it. "It's good that he's back. I'll ask your uncle to help you find a job later."

If all else fails, I'll transfer this job to you; it'll be good for taking care of your sister.

Jiang Yi: "Aunt, no need. I've changed careers and will be taken care of."

Jiang Yin also remembered this matter, "Let's take a look first. If it's suitable, we'll do it. If it's not suitable, I'll transfer this job to you. It'll be easier for you."

She knew exactly what kind of jobs the county town could offer, and she figured they weren't exactly desirable positions.

Jiang Yi did not answer, but asked about Yang Lan.

Although the two sides corresponded, many things could not be explained in a few words.

Jiang Yin could no longer contain her anger when the matter was brought up. "The Xie family are really scoundrels. If it weren't for your sister's good fortune, she would have lost her life this time."

Do you know why? It's because her brother-in-law couldn't stand that your sister got extra meat twice at the cafeteria because she was pregnant.

They don't even realize that I gave them those meat tickets; they didn't eat any of the Xie family's food. And yet they're already jealous.

Don't you realize how much your sister has given him since she married into his family? She even lets him use her bicycle all the time.

Because of such a trivial matter, he actually tampered with the bicycle. If it weren't for a little girl who happened to save her that day, your sister would have died along with her unborn child!

"What about Xie Dacheng?" Since they were already divorced, he was no longer her brother-in-law, so Jiang Yi called him by his first name.

“He’s the worst kind of person,” Jiang Yin said through gritted teeth. “He always knew that the family was making things difficult for your sister, but he always made her put up with it.”

His brother murdered his sister-in-law, such a big thing, and he actually wanted your sister to keep quiet about it, saying that it was a family scandal after all, and if it got out, they wouldn't be able to stay in the city anymore.

Besides, that kid is currently engaged; if this shameful affair gets exposed…

Because of all this, the Xie family has refused to give our family an explanation as to how to deal with his brother.

On the contrary, they want to suppress your sister and let this matter pass by lightly.

Fortunately, your sister wasn't confused this time. She said she would only agree to continue living together if the two sides severed all ties after the family was divided; otherwise, they would break up completely.

Actually, this is a good thing for Xie Dacheng, as it allows him to get rid of his entire extended family.

Unfortunately, this person was solely focused on protecting his own family, choosing to side with the Xie family. He even agreed to divorce your sister to protect his brother from the stigma of murdering his sister-in-law, but in doing so, he also gave up custody of the children.

Jiang Yi clenched his fist. "Are we just going to let this go? What did my uncle say?"

Jiang Yin said helplessly, "What else can I do? My cousin from the Xie family works for my brother's family. For the sake of peace in the future, I can only endure it."

"I know you and your sister are very close, but although we are in the right, we have to consider this. Your uncle asked him to write down the document, and from now on, the two families will be completely cut off."

She wanted to make a scene and get justice for her daughter, but her family still had to live in this county town, so she had to endure it.

“Your sister just went through the divorce proceedings with that Xie Dacheng yesterday. She has a stomachache today, probably because she didn’t sleep well last night and felt so frustrated.” As Jiang Yin said this, she quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling even more regretful. Why didn’t she investigate more before letting her daughter marry into such a family?

Jiang Yi didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say stiffly, "Things will get better in the future."

In his memory, his parents died early, and he lived with his aunt. Jiang Yin treated him no differently than Yang Lan. Even when his uncle's family sometimes gossiped, she protected him well and made sure he didn't suffer any losses.

Although she is called an aunt, she has always shouldered the burden of being a mother. Fortunately, her uncle was considerate and protective, which helped her get through the most difficult years.

As for the Xie family, those scores can be settled slowly. Right now, we're just hoping Yang Lan is alright.

The wait was always long. Finally, the emergency room door opened, and the two of them quickly squeezed to the doorway. "Doctor, how is he?"

"Her emotions are fluctuating too much, and she's showing signs of premature labor. She's still more than a month away from her due date, so please take good care of her. If this happens again, there's nothing we can do."

The doctor left after speaking, and Jiang Yin punched herself hard, "What kind of mess did I make?"

If the child weren't so old, she wouldn't want her daughter to suffer like this...

Hua Xiangyun had another uneventful day. Her eldest brother and sister-in-law went to the Li family early in the morning, while her second brother was called out to meet some old friends.

She had nowhere to go for the time being, so she thought of helping out at home, but Tian Guihua pushed her out of the yard, saying, "Your mother and I will take care of things at home. Your brother and the others have gone out to play. You should go out and find your classmates and friends too."

Hua Xiangyun, “…” She did have some classmates and friends she was close to, but during the Spring Festival, no one would be as free as she was.

Since everyone has already been brought out, let's go for a walk around the neighborhood.

Just as I was about to step out of the compound, I was drawn to the chat messages on the side.

"I saw Zhou Xiaolan coming out of Bai Zhaodi's place early this morning. You have to admit, Bai Ailian is really carefree. The girl is already so grown up, and she still lets her stay at someone else's place."

"It's better for their Xiaojun to just stay somewhere, rather than for Zhou Xiaolan to go out."

Sister Liu was holding a handful of taro, spitting out the peels as she talked, but she didn't notice that Sister Tian glared at her a few times.

Hua Xiangyun looked at the door behind her and then remembered that this was the Tian family's house. She couldn't help but find it a little funny. She remembered that when Sister-in-law Tian had nothing to do, she liked to go to other people's doorsteps to gossip. She had even seen her spitting back then.
