Unmarried Men and Women: Daily Life of Raising Children in Ancient Times

Mu Yi'an, a teacher at an agricultural school, in her thirties, unmarried, nearly expelled from her family by her biological mother.

Chapter 84 Jiang Dasao Acts as Matchmaker

“Sister-in-law, putting aside whether my sister-in-law has health problems or whether she can have her own children, she has clearly stated that she does not want to get married now, but you keep acting like you can’t hear her and insist on making her jump into a fire pit.”

Mu Yi'an had already made up her mind that she would avoid eating at the old house's restaurants as much as possible from now on; they were too troublesome.

"Second sister-in-law, how can you talk like that? What do you mean I told my eldest sister-in-law to jump into a fire pit? How did my cousin become a fire pit?"

"Isn't it a living hell? Does an old man with three children who have lost his wife have a fortune? No, right? When the sister-in-law marries into the family, isn't she just going to have to do housework, raise other people's children, and take care of the whole family? She'll work hard all her life. Can you guarantee that they will be filial to their stepmother in the future?"

Mu Yi'an felt that Jiang Qi would have to be crazy to raise someone else's child.

"Who doesn't live like this? My sister-in-law is also a country girl, and she got divorced and returned home."

Jiang's sister-in-law felt that Mu Yi'an was just making excuses; her sister-in-law couldn't have children herself, so it was much better to have a ready-made child.

"Sister-in-law, I don't need it. I'll live with my second brother and sister-in-law. Don't interfere in my affairs."

Jiang Qi made her stance clear: she couldn't put her second sister-in-law in a difficult position. She enjoyed living with her second brother and sister-in-law, and she also liked Shao Ming and his two siblings.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, you should stop interfering in Qiqi's affairs."

After listening for a long time, Jiang's father finally made a summary.

When Sister-in-law Jiang heard her father speak, she dared not say anything more.

The meal was finished, and Mu Yi'an planned to go home. She and Jiang Qi were in charge of cooking; they wouldn't bother with the table.

After saying goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, the family left the old house. They decided not to invite them back for meals anymore; it was pointless.

In the Jiang family's old house, Jiang's mother sat in the courtyard, watching her eldest daughter-in-law, third daughter-in-law, and Jiang Lan clear the dishes. "Not cooking and not even clearing the dishes? What a pipe dream!"
