Jiang Yanqiu raised her head and said as a matter of course:
"What does it matter how much the betrothal gift is? Third sister, you can't even earn enough work points to make half a bowl of porridge. You eat and use the family's food for free every day. Don't you feel guilty at all?
In order to find a good marriage for you, your mother begged the matchmaker for several days and even gave her five eggs.
The Li family said they just wanted someone who could take care of people. If you marry her, you won't even have to work in the fields. What else are you dissatisfied with? Why are you complaining here?
Jiang Henian threw down his chopsticks, stood up with the wooden stick in his hand, and his eyes were level with Jiang Yanqiu.
"Since Second Sister is so satisfied with the Li family, why doesn't she marry into the family herself? She's older than me."
"That Li Jinbao is white and fat, with squinty eyes, a flat nose, missing teeth, and a loose bowel movement. He speaks unclearly but never talks back. He's definitely the type my second sister likes."
"you!"
Jiang Yanqiu raised her hand to slap Jiang Henian, but the latter grabbed her hand.
"What?" Jiang Henian took a step closer and said in a contemptuous tone, "Did you think I would just let you slap me like before?"
Jiang Yanqiu was shocked by the coldness in Jiang Henian's eyes, and felt a little scared.
Jiang Henian shook off her hand, turned around and walked out steadily, dragging the wooden stick.
"stop."
Jiang Chengmin, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
He stood up, his face gloomy, "What have you been like lately?"
Jiang Henian turned around, looked at Jiang Chengmin for a moment, and suddenly smiled.
"So you knew? You knew Wang Chunfang was secretly abusing your own daughter, and you knew Jiang Yanqiu was ordering Jiang Xiaobao to bully your own daughter. Don't you know everything?"
"What nonsense!"
Jiang Chengmin frowned, "Hasn't it been you who's been sneaking around lately, being lazy and contradicting others? If you weren't disobedient, there wouldn't be so much noise at home."
"So... you, as a father, are fed up and want to marry your disobedient daughter to a fool?"
The disbelief in Jiang Henian's eyes was too glaring.
Jiang Chengmin explained with a sullen face, "Your second sister is right. The Li family is well-off. If you marry into the family, all you have to do is take care of Li Jinbao. Isn't that exactly what you want?"
"Your mother has found out everything. He's just a little immature and easier to control. You're not young anymore, and your family doesn't want to force you to work all the time."
Jiang Henian couldn't help shaking his head, clapping and laughing.
"Okay, that's a good idea. Since—"
She suddenly stopped talking and her eyes fell on Jiang Xiaobao who ran out of the house holding a handful of shredded paper.
"Mom! When can I sit down to eat? I'm starving!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands and pieces of paper fell all over the floor.
Jiang Henian's pupils widened and he turned around slowly.
"...You tore it, what?"
