Farmland and shops—these are the things that give a woman confidence in her husband's family. The second sister-in-law also prepared everything else quite comprehensively; the furniture and bedding were truly abundant.
"Why are you crying? It's a joyous occasion. For the past two years, you've helped me take care of the children, which has allowed me to focus on making money."
Don't overthink it. The fact that I can give you these things means you're worth it. It's not because of anyone else; it's because of you, Jiang Qi, and because you've done a good job.
Mu Yi'an was aware that Jiang Qi sometimes felt inferior.
After comforting Jiang Qi, Mu Yi'an left her room, giving Jiang's parents time to talk.
"Qiqi, are you reluctant to leave home?"
"Father, Mother, this is what my second sister-in-law prepared for me."
Jiang Qi showed her parents the house deed, land deed, and banknotes, but she still couldn't help but want to cry.
“Your second sister-in-law really treats you like her own sister. In the future, if there are any issues, consult with her more often.”
After seeing these things, Jiang's father was impressed by his second daughter-in-law's generosity.
“Listen to your father. Your parents will grow old. Your biggest support in your husband’s family will be your brothers and sisters-in-law who treat you well.”
"I know how good my second brother and sister-in-law are to me, and I will remember it in my heart."
Jiang Qi wiped away her tears and put her things away. The past two years had given her a deep understanding of how to live life.
"Pack your things well, and take good care of your own dowry. If your brothers and sisters really encounter difficulties, help them as much as you can."
At other times, live your own life. Help in emergencies, but don't support a life of poverty. You should learn this from your second sister-in-law.
Jiang's father knew that his daughter was soft-hearted, and he was afraid that she would not be able to protect his things in the end.
"Dad, I understand. My second sister-in-law and I have learned a lot in the past two years and we will live our lives well."
Jiang Qi understood what her father meant. She knew that her family had a troublesome older sister-in-law and a younger sister who loved to compare herself to others.
Tomorrow is her wedding day. Jiang Qi lay alone in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
