"Shuyun, what did Jiang Qi say?"

"She agreed and wants to live with us. Yi'an, if your parents agree to separate the family, where would you like to live? In town or in the village?"

“Let’s stay in the village. Although the town is closer to the Mu family, our resources are limited. Going to the town would cost more than in the village. Besides, our land is in the village, and Uncle Jiang’s family is a good family. They would be great help in growing watermelons. We’re familiar with what we do, not what we’re unfamiliar with. If we go to the town, we won’t know anyone, and it won’t be easy for us to do anything.”

“Your analysis is correct. I’m thinking of going to town, which is farther away from our family home. You’ll feel more at ease there.”

Jiang Shuyun is living a good life with Mu Yi'an now, and she no longer has the strong aversion to marriage she had in her previous life.

Since they're going to live together, they naturally have to consider each other's feelings; they both agree on this.

When Mu Yi'an first arrived, she was in a very irritable state, making it hard to believe she was a university teacher. But if you put yourself in her shoes, you'd think of her as a wealthy and independent woman with plenty of free time, suddenly arriving here and being forced to accept other people's lives, along with her child whom she desperately wanted to avoid, in an environment that wasn't very friendly to women. It was good enough that she wasn't a little irritable, but rather didn't go crazy.

Everyone has emotions and desires, and everyone has moments when they lose control; he could understand that. Mu Yi'an was also much more tolerant of him, after all, he was practically clueless about daily life. Having been waited on hand and foot, he really wasn't very good at doing things.

He wasn't a true ancient person after all, and he wouldn't take it for granted that Mu Yi'an would serve him; his upbringing wouldn't allow him to do so.

"Go to sleep. Things can't be resolved overnight, and we don't even know what our parents' attitude will be. Go to sleep first; we haven't had a good rest these past few days."

Mu Yi'an told Jiang Shuyun to go to sleep, as he had been running around for several days and needed rest.

Having reached a consensus, the couple slowly drifted off to sleep. As they slept, they unconsciously snuggled together, with Mu Yi'an almost falling into Jiang Shuyun's arms.

The next day, the weather cleared up and the sun came out!

Jiang Shuyun practiced some boxing in the courtyard to loosen up her muscles.

Jiang's father also got up, walked out of the yard, and went around to the farmland.

After Jiang Shuyun waited for her father to come in from outside the courtyard, she went over to him and said, "Dad, I want to talk to you about something."

"Come to the study."

Jiang's father walked ahead, and Jiang Shuyun followed behind, entering the study.

"What is it? Tell me."

"Dad, the current conflicts at home are irreconcilable. I have a suggestion for you."

What suggestion?

Jiang's father barely slept last night; he certainly heard Jiang Lan's angry roar.

“Since Lanlan is determined to marry up, and my sister-in-law is worried that my sister’s situation will affect the children, let’s separate the family and move out with my sister. Yi’an and I don’t think my sister’s divorce will affect the children, and Shao Ming and the others are still young.”

"You're separating the family, and you're taking Jiang Qi with you?"

Mr. Jiang was a little surprised. He knew that Shuyun and her husband didn't mind their eldest daughter's situation, but he didn't expect them to be so accepting.

"Let me think about this. Let me think about it."

"Dad, think about it. This is the best solution right now. For you and Mom, every child is equally important. They're both precious, and it's hard to choose between them. It hurts to hurt either of them."

However, as children, we might prioritize the interests of our own small family; this is human nature and cannot be changed. Compared to siblings, our own interests or the interests of our small family will be more important.

Jiang Shuyun is telling the truth, but many people are just hiding it and don't want to admit it.

Even in ancient times, when family interests were paramount, selfishness existed in everyone; that's human nature. Those who could truly be selfless were extremely rare.

"Okay, I'll think about it carefully. Thank you, Shuyun."

"Of course, it's best if everyone in the family is doing well."

Jiang Shuyun didn't explicitly state her ulterior motives, and she didn't care whether her father noticed or not.

Sitting alone in his study, Jiang's father was a bit confused. He hadn't considered separating the family property right now. Although he knew that living together as a large family would inevitably lead to some friction, wasn't that how life always went?

However, the problem we face now is quite serious. The younger daughter is determined to marry into a wealthy family and her mind is made up; it's not easy to change her mind. If we forcibly stop the younger daughter because of the older daughter's situation, the two sisters will become enemies.

After considering all aspects, Jiang's father felt that Shuyun's suggestion was the best solution at present, but he felt a little guilty towards Shuyun and her husband.

Jiang's father stopped worrying about it. Breakfast was ready, and they still had to go to school after eating. This matter couldn't be rushed; they should all calm down.

The atmosphere at the dinner table remained silent, and the same few people were unaffected.

The house was relatively quiet that day, but the outside was bustling with activity.

"Have you heard? The eldest daughter of Scholar Jiang has been divorced and sent back home!"

"Don't talk nonsense. I heard it. It wasn't a divorce, it was a mutual divorce."

"Pretty much, anyway, her in-laws don't want her anymore!"

"Sigh, what can we do? We've been married for several years and have no children. What family would accept us?"

...

On the riverbank outside the village, several women washing clothes were talking loudly.

This is to be expected. In this day and age, there's not much entertainment, so if something happens in someone's family, it spreads like wildfire.

Moreover, Jiangjia Village is a village where several major surnames gather, with a large population and numerous in-laws. If you count them carefully, you'll find that everyone is related.
