Mu Yi'an, a teacher at an agricultural school, in her thirties, unmarried, nearly expelled from her family by her biological mother.
Jiang Shuyun, a high school political teacher, in her ...
Jiang's sister-in-law thought Mu Yi'an was a blockhead who couldn't grasp the key points.
"Really? What does that have to do with us? Can his family give us their money or you?"
"How can it not be a problem? If my sister-in-law marries into the Zhou family, then we can raise the bar for our children's marriages and find someone of higher status, especially Chu Tong and Chu Yue!"
Sister-in-law Jiang really didn't want to talk to Mu Yi'an anymore; they just couldn't see eye to eye.
"Chuyue? She's still wearing open-crotch pants and diapers. It's too early to worry about that!"
Mu Yi'an thought Jiang Da Sao was being unreasonable and overthinking things.
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you!"
After finishing her rice, Sister-in-law Jiang got off the table; she couldn't eat anymore. If there hadn't been no one else at home, she wouldn't have said all that to Mu Yi'an.
"Mother, is my aunt getting married?"
Shao Ming asked curiously, "So they can set off firecrackers now?"
Do you know what marriage is?
"Yes, we know! Wear red clothes, cover ourselves with red cloth, and set off firecrackers!"
"Set off firecrackers, yes."
"want."
Shao Yun and Shao Kun didn't understand what their brother was talking about; they only knew about firecrackers. They had overheard someone setting off firecrackers during a housewarming ceremony a while ago, and they'd remembered it ever since.
"Okay, we'll buy firecrackers for the New Year."
Mu Yi'an patted each of the little ones' heads; they were quite cute.
After lunch, Mu Yi'an took the four children (three adults and one child) to wash up so they could take a nap later. As for the kitchen, that was Jiang's wife's job.
Mu Yi'an also went to the main house to greet Jiang's mother, who looked a little pale.
"Mother, shall I cook you some porridge, or shall we go find a doctor?"
"No need, I'm not hungry yet. I'll eat later. There's no need to see a doctor. I'm fine. If the neighbors see me like this, they'll think something's wrong with our family."
Jiang's mother told Mu Yi'an to go and rest, as she also wanted to sleep for a while.
After expressing her filial piety, Mu Yi'an went back to her room. The one who tied the knot must untie it, and the one who tied the knot must cure the heart's ailment!
