Jiang Yin walked over and patted her head. "You've learned your lesson. You've overcome the first major hurdle in your life. Besides, your dad and I are here to support you. What are you afraid of?"

The elderly couple had saved up some money over the years, and with her dowry from earlier years, their daughter wouldn't go hungry even if she didn't work.

The most important thing now is to open her heart and let her start a new life.

“Auntie is right,” Jiang Yi said, bringing over a bowl of vegetables. “Actually, if you look at it another way, being someone’s daughter-in-law is never as carefree as being a girl.”

You have your aunt and uncle at home who help take care of your children, and you don't have to worry about your mother-in-law's attitude.

Going home means not having to serve someone else's entire family, and having my own children too. It's a completely new life; only a fool wouldn't cherish it.

Jiang Yi readily offered a piece of life wisdom: "Think about it, isn't that the truth? Aren't you comfortable living in your own home?"

Yang Lan, “…” She was simply too comfortable.

You can eat whatever you want, lie down whenever you want, and no one will say anything or make veiled criticisms.

Aside from some resentment for having given her heart to the wrong person over the past two years, it has also been the most carefree time for her in the past two years.

Jiang Yin had also suffered at the hands of her mother-in-law, but she couldn't be too blunt in front of Yang Guoqing, so she could only vaguely say, "Your father and I only have you as our daughter. It will be good for you to take care of us in the future if you stay by our side."

Of course, if you want to find someone else in the future, your dad and I will support you, and we can even help take care of the children.

Yang Lan held back her tears, remembering that it was New Year's Day and this was unlucky. "I won't look for anyone else anymore. Our family will just live like this."

Jiang Yin followed her words, saying, "Your parents will do whatever you want, but you need to take good care of your health now, otherwise who will your father and I rely on in the future?"

Yang Lan nodded emphatically, "I understand..."

Jiang Yi set the table and invited the Yang family to sit down. "What are your plans for this child in the future?"

Yang Guoqing didn't understand why he asked that question. "Naturally, your aunt and I will take care of them."

“What if it’s a boy?” Jiang Yi reminded him, “Even if a written agreement is signed, the Xie family may not be so ethical.”

You know, it's not so easy to take a boy away these days. The Xie family will definitely come knocking on our door to make trouble again.

"Now I'm in a real bind," Yang Guoqing said, glancing at his daughter's belly with a complicated expression. "If it's a boy, I, Yang Guoqing, will have a successor, but it also means endless trouble."

It's a dilemma that's both exciting and worrying.

Jiang Yi said, "So once the child is born, don't tell anyone, and register the child's household registration immediately."

This is also to prevent the Xie family from being shameless and rushing to register the household registration, which would cause a lot of trouble.

“Ah Yi is right. I’m not afraid of anything else, but I’m afraid of his cousin…” Jiang Yin’s expression also turned somewhat unpleasant. In the end, she still had to be wary of the Xie family.

If the other party really has no shame, they might not be able to win the argument.

If we establish a formal status first, and have a written agreement in hand, even if they cause trouble, at least we'll have a trump card.

Jiang Yi was just giving a heads-up; the Xie family was probably going to be lively again these days. He would go and check on them in a couple of days to see if he had forgotten the techniques he had learned in his younger years.

Jiang Yi had no idea that Hua Xiangyun was witnessing his achievements at that moment.

Xun Liangfang did not choose to go back to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year this year because they had to go to work the next day and had to rush back to the city after lunch.

The three Hua siblings naturally went to see them off, but since the family couldn't ride bicycles, they chose to walk all the way to the county bus station.

Hua Baoguo instructed his children to help the elderly with chores at home. Xun Liangfen quietly followed along. This time, she wanted to hand over her work to Hua Baoguo first, so that Zhi'an could take over next month.

Despite her efforts over the past few days, she failed to get a change of address, which left her feeling somewhat down.

Watching his three children chattering around Hua Baoguo, he felt a surge of annoyance.

Hua Xiangyun glanced at him casually and noticed that Xun Liangfen's appearance had changed since he came out, indicating that he was about to suffer a bloody disaster.

Looking back, they didn't do much along the way. They just took a shortcut, and that slight error caused a change.

Looking at the deserted road on both sides, Hua Xiangyun wondered if she should let her family rest for a while.

Before she could speak, a jeep wobbled around the corner. Hua Xiangyun knew something was wrong and could only grab Hua Baoguo and Hua Zhiping and throw them to the side of the road. By the time she was ready to rescue Xun Liangfen and Hua Zhian, the jeep was already in front of her.

Hua Xiangyun had no choice but to quickly grab her second brother, who was closest to her, and pull him aside.

With a loud crash, Xun Liangfen was thrown into the ditch beside the road, accompanied by a scream.

The car did not stop, but crashed into a tree stump on the side, and then overturned.

Hua Xiangyun and the others paid no heed to the wails and curses inside the car, dropping their luggage and running to the ditch.

The ditch was a bit deep, and luckily there had been several heavy snowfalls, so Xun Liangfang wasn't in too much of a mess.

"Liangfen, how are you?" Hua Baoguo called out anxiously from upstairs.

Hua Xiangyun jumped down and carefully turned Xun Liangfen, who was lying face down, over over.

Although there was snow, the bottom layer was frozen. Xun Liangfen had bumped her forehead and a big bump was still oozing blood, which was particularly glaring against the snow.

Hua Xiangyun didn't have time to think much. She took out her handkerchief and pressed it against the wound. She was also a little annoyed. She should have been faster.

After searching Xun Liangfen's body again, they confirmed that only her forehead was injured, and the rest of her body was intact.

"Mom, how is she?" Hua Zhiping and Hua Zhian jumped down and looked at Xun Liangfen, whose eyes were closed, their voices trembling.

Hua Xiangyun felt her pulse. "She must have fainted temporarily. Let's get her to the hospital quickly."

Although she had learned some medical skills, even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice; she had nothing useful to her at the moment.

“There’s a steep slope over there,” Hua Xiangyun said, calmly observing the surroundings and pointing to the slope beside her. “I’ll press on the wound, and you guys help carry Mom up there.”

Hua Zhian immediately squatted down, "Come carry me!"

Hua Xiangyun kicked him away, "What are you trying to do now? This uphill road is slippery, and if you fall again, are you going to take responsibility for the consequences?"

"Hurry up, you're strong, grab Mom's arms."

At this moment, Hua Zhiping, disregarding the fact that he had already walked over, consciously lifted his legs.

Seeing Hua Baoguo struggling to stay upright and about to slide down, Hua Xiangyun quickly called out, "Dad, hurry up and pack your luggage, we need to get to the hospital right away."

Hua Baoguo stopped, not because he didn't want to jump down first, but because his two unfilial sons beat him to it. "Then hurry up and come up, we'll head back now."

The people inside the jeep also pushed open the door and struggled to climb out.
