While parents are alive, the family cannot separate; this is a long-standing custom in the village.

They're both still alive, so we can't just let the family fall apart, no matter what we say. We can't let this get out and become a laughingstock in the village.

"Jialin, why don't we just let this matter go? Wan'er isn't hurt, and your second brother didn't do it on purpose," Old Man Jiang advised.

A harmonious family is the foundation of all prosperity. He didn't want to escalate the situation.

Jiang Jialin understood that Old Man Jiang would never allow them to split up the family. His goal was not to split up the family, but to teach his second brother a lesson.

He looked at Old Man Jiang and said firmly, "Father, this matter cannot be left like this. You must stand up for Wanwan, otherwise I will have no choice but to take Mingzhu, Wanwan, and Xun'er back to my father-in-law's house to live permanently."

In the end, Jiang Jialin's tone became subtly threatening.

Jiang Wanwan looked at her adoptive father in surprise. She knew that in ancient times, being a live-in son-in-law was a shameful thing, and people would talk behind your back and curse you. But her adoptive father was willing to threaten her grandparents with becoming a live-in son-in-law in order to get justice for her, which moved her deeply.

Although my adoptive father came from a different background, he is still very reliable.

And her mother, in order to avoid being wronged, even wanted to resign, just to seek justice for herself.

A warm current flowed through her heart, melting away the barrier in her heart.

Permanent resident?

Isn't this just like becoming a live-in son-in-law?

"No way! If you take your wife and children to live with your father-in-law, aren't you going to become a live-in son-in-law? No way, this is absolutely unacceptable!" Old Man Jiang and Old Woman Jiang firmly opposed it.

Grandma Jiang quickly said, "Your second brother was indeed wrong in this matter. He should make amends to Wan'er and be punished properly."

Grandma Jiang was in a dilemma; she didn't know how to deal with her second son in a way that would satisfy her youngest son.

Ultimately, it was indeed the second son who made the mistake.

The two elders also got involved and helped make this happen.

Uncle Jiang noticed his mother's dilemma, so he quickly said, "Since Mother is also in a dilemma, why don't we let Wan'er decide this matter herself?"

Given the goodwill I've built up with Wan Ya today, she shouldn't make things too difficult for me.

Uncle Jiang thought optimistically.

“Yes, let Wan’er make her own decision,” Grandma Jiang nodded hurriedly.

Jiang Jialin nodded, looked at Jiang Wanwan, and said softly, "Wanwan, what do you think should be done with your second uncle?"

Jiang Wanwan simply wanted to use this incident to teach everyone in the Jiang family a lesson and let them know that she was not someone to be trifled with.

Another reason is to find out what my adoptive parents will do for me so I can plan for the future; it's not that I really want to separate from the family.

Many hands make light work; it's unrealistic for her to handle Su Wan'er's revenge alone. As the Jiang family grows larger and more established, she'll need to cultivate her own people to help manage affairs.

She didn't trust outsiders, but the Jiang family was alright.

After all, they all had a common enemy: Su Wan'er.

Rather than separating them and having her second uncle and his family cause her trouble from time to time, it would be better to give them some benefits, win them over, and unite them to deal with Su Wan'er together.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanwan said, "I have already taken back all the twenty taels of silver that Second Uncle got from Liu Si. Since this money was from selling me, it can't be handed over to the public fund under any circumstances. I want to keep it for myself."

"Twenty taels!" Old Lady Jiang exclaimed shrilly.

That's a huge sum of money!

Jiang Wanwan asked, feeling wronged, "Does Grandma disagree with letting me keep this money?"

Jiang Jialin stared coldly at Old Lady Jiang, who immediately shut her mouth. She forced a smile, "Hehe, yes, I agree."

"Grandma, my second uncle has already given me a piece of cloth to make two sets of clothes to compensate me, and he even had my aunt sew them for me. Grandma, I only went with my second uncle because I believed what you said, so shouldn't you give me some compensation too?"
