After dinner, the villagers came over and had a lively meal before heading back home.
Yu Chengyuan's parents came over that evening to inquire about Jiang Haiyang's condition. They were relieved to see that he was really alright.
If anything were to happen to Jiang Haiyang, they would be held responsible and would never have peace of mind for the rest of their lives.
The two families are unlikely to become in-laws; instead, they may become enemies.
Fortunately, the two children handled the situation well, and Jiang Haiyang escaped unharmed.
"Sister Vanilla, thank you for saving my brother today. You are really amazing. You can even treat snake venom. I admire you so much."
Jiang Haitang leaned against Yu Xiangcao on the headboard, her face full of admiration as she spoke.
"Sister Haitang, there's no need to be so polite. We're all friends."
I'm not particularly skilled; in fact, many people in the mountains know some of these skills.
Snakes can be found in places with weeds and forests, and in hot weather.
Villagers occasionally get bitten by snakes, so many people recognize some herbal remedies for snakebites.
Yu Xiangcao explained to Jiang.
She was telling the truth, especially since people living in remote mountainous areas have more snakes and insects there, so it's perfectly normal for them to know some basic self-defense skills.
"Oh, I see. But that's still amazing."
In short, you saved my brother, so it's only right that I thank you!
Jiang Haitang felt that she and her brother were truly destined to be with the Yu family.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Yu family is their lucky star.
"Alright, alright, then I'll accept Haitang's thanks."
Yu Xiangcao couldn't refuse the little girl in front of her, so she could only say it indulgently.
To be honest, she quite liked the little girl; she was innocent, cute, and genuine.
Both Haitang and Sulan are very good siblings, but they have different personalities.
The orchid is dignified and graceful, while the crabapple is lively and lovely.
It has to be said that the two younger brothers have a good eye for choosing wives.
This made the villagers extremely envious, and the Yu family's eldest branch could finally hold their heads high.
This also improved the lives of my two uncles' families.
"Vanilla is so nice!"
Vanilla, your husband is so lucky to have married you!
However, I haven't met my brother-in-law yet, so I don't know if he's handsome or not.
I figured my brother-in-law must be handsome too, since my sister is so beautiful!
Looking at the innocent and carefree Jiang Haitang, Yu Xiangcao hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell her the truth.
"Sister Haitang, um, I don't have a husband, I'm all alone."
So you don't have a handsome brother-in-law.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, okay?"
Anyway, she's going to marry into this family, so she'll find out about this sooner or later.
"sorry………
Sister Vanilla, I... I didn't know you weren't married yet?
I thought you got married…
Jiang Haitang immediately felt extremely embarrassed, but she subconsciously assumed that as the eldest sister in the Yu family, she must be married.
I didn't expect she was still single...
"It's okay, it's not your fault, you didn't even know."
Anyone who sees me at my age would assume I'm already married.
However, it's not wrong to say she got married.
Although they didn't get a marriage certificate at the time, they lived together for five years, which can be considered a de facto marriage.
They just don't have children.
"Sister Vanilla, I don't understand. You mean..."
Jiang Haitang asked, somewhat confused.
"Hey, Haitang, to tell you the truth, I've been married before, and I married into Shangfeng Village in a remote mountain area. That man was much older than me."
But he treated me badly, so my two younger brothers brought me back.
I have absolutely no connection with that person anymore.
So I said that I've actually been married before.
Yu Xiangcao thought that she couldn't hide this matter after she married into the family, so there was no need to hide it.
From now on, we'll be family. Besides, this girl is straightforward and doesn't have any ulterior motives. She'll be like family to us, just like Liu Sulan.
"Sister Vanilla, why did your parents marry you off to a man who is much older than you and treats you badly?"
"You've suffered so much..."
Jiang Haitang couldn't understand why Yu's parents, who seemed so kind, would push their daughter into a pit of fire.
"Little Begonia, don't misunderstand, they're not my parents, they're my former wicked grandmother."
She married me off to an old and ugly man just to get a dowry.
I originally thought that I would follow my husband wherever he went, and that's how my life would go.
Who knew that after five years of marriage I hadn't gotten pregnant, my mother and son kept scolding, beating, and tormenting me.
Life went on like this until my two younger brothers came to visit me, and they learned everything and took me home.
Yu Xiangcao slowly recounted her story.
For some reason, she felt like she was talking to an old friend today, without feeling embarrassed at all.
"Damn it, that old hag, she's so vicious, marrying you off to an old and ugly bastard."
I really should have kicked her a couple more times today.
"Vanilla, you're so silly. You've endured so much for so many years, why didn't you go home and tell your parents and two younger brothers?"
If Sister Vanilla had confided in her two younger brothers sooner, perhaps she could have been freed from her suffering sooner.
"Haitang, you don't understand our family's situation back then."
At that time, our eldest son's family was not well-liked in the Yu family, and Wang Shi was the one who made all the decisions at home.
My parents were being bullied, and my two younger brothers, Chengyuan and Ping'an, were honest and simple, and dared not disobey.
