When Sun Guizhi appeared, her voice carried a hint of resentment.

“Maizi and Meili are very close. I’ve already told Meili that once she marries into the family, Maizi will be like her own daughter.”

"Let me tell you, I don't grow wheat!"

"I can barely take care of my three sons!"

"I really don't have the energy to raise someone else's daughter!"

“In the past, it was my third sister-in-law who was unruly, but Meili is different. Meili grew up with me, and her character is such that there is no possibility of her being abused by her stepmother or having any of those rotten things from her previous life!”

"Mother, I think you should take the initiative to hand over Yanzi, Maizi, and Lihua to Meili. Otherwise, Meili will feel that you don't trust her!"

"If you, as the mother-in-law, don't express your approval when this new daughter-in-law enters the family, how heartbroken Meili will be!"

"Mother, don't you think this makes sense?"

Sun Guizhi speaks like popping beans, really chattering away, and at an incredible speed.

She finished speaking before giving Grandma Song and Li Chunhua a chance to interject.

"Second brother's wife, how can you talk like that?"

"You, you..."

Grandma Song seemed surprised by Sun Guizhi's thoughts. She was still somewhat dazed and wanted to say something, but when she pointed at the other woman, her lips trembled and she couldn't utter a word.

"Mother, what did I say?"

“We had an agreement that once my third brother marries Meili, we would separate the family property.”

"From now on, we'll all have to look after ourselves, my three sons!"

"Mother, just because you like your daughter doesn't mean we have to like her too!"

"Sister-in-law, don't you think this makes sense?"

"Second sister-in-law, that's not how it is. We're family!"

Li Chunhua spoke urgently.

"Sister-in-law, you owe your third sister-in-law a favor, but I don't. If you're willing to help raise someone's daughter, that's fine. When Maizi comes back from school, I'll bring her to your house so the two sisters can keep each other company!"

"Let's leave it at that!"

After saying this, Sun Guizhi turned and left without caring whether her mother-in-law or sister-in-law agreed.

...

Inside the house, Jiang Yi roughly understood why she had come here.

There are undercurrents running deep in this family.

Beneath the seemingly adored exterior, various conflicts still lurk.

"Host, I think now is the perfect time for you to go out!"

Xiao Yu'er popped up again, suggesting that Jiang Yi appear now, state her position, and demand custody of her daughters.

Jiang Yi pursed her lips and said, "What's the rush?"

"I haven't even met the men in this house yet!"

The village is called Kaoshan Village, and most of the villagers are surnamed Yang. It is said that the village was founded by the descendants of an adopted son of Yang Lin, the Prince of Kaoshan, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

However, Jiang Yi knew that this was all nonsense.

Yang Lin, the Prince of Kao Shan, was a fictional character created in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

It is said that the prototype was Yang Shuang, the half-brother of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian. Unfortunately, this boy had a bad fate. Although he was both literate and martial, he died young.

Therefore, the origins of Kaoshan Village are all nonsense.

The head of the family was Old Lady Song's husband, Yang Dadi. The two had five sons, nicknamed Dawa'er, Erwa'er, and so on up to Wuwa'er. Later, when villagers wanted to give their sons formal names, Yang Dadi named his five sons Yibao, Erbao, and so on up to Wubao.

This name is quite pleasing to the ear!

Of all the sons, Yang Sanbao, who is now Jiang Yi's husband, is the most successful.

He has received an education, served in the army, and is now a manager at a transportation company in the county. He is one of the most outstanding people in the village.

The only reason Jiang Zhaodi was able to marry Yang Sanbao was because she was beautiful.
