"It's like this, your eldest sister, Vanilla, saved me, and I am very grateful to her. I want to do my best to help her."
But she rejected me yesterday. You're her second brother, so please help me persuade her!
"I want her to accept my feelings."
Jiang Haiyang said directly.
"You said you want to help my older sister, how do you plan to help her?"
And how did you talk to her?
Brother Jiang, you don't need to think about repaying my older sister for saving you.
My older sister never thought that he saved you in order to get something in return.
To be honest, if I hadn't asked you to go fishing, you wouldn't have been bitten by a snake, so don't mention repaying me in the future.
Besides, my older sister is working for me now and gets paid; she's living a very comfortable life.
Yu Chengyuan was curious about what he had said to his older sister.
"Brother Chengyuan, I know you and your sister are good people. You would have saved whoever was bitten by a snake yesterday."
I didn't mean anything by it.
Don't be angry. I know your older sister is helping you with your work now, so I told her that I could help her husband get a job at our Hongqi Textile Factory.
But for some reason, she refused outright, and seemed somewhat unhappy.
Jiang Haiyang explained that he also knew that the siblings saved the person not because he was the one bitten by the snake.
Just as Yu Chengyuan was about to say something, Jiang Haiyang continued, "I'm not simply repaying a life-saving debt."
Because I figured we'd be good friends and family in the future, I should help out if I could.
"Hold on, Brother Jiang. You said you asked my sister yesterday if her husband would be willing to work at the Hongqi Textile Factory?"
Aren't you just being ridiculous?
You're talking nonsense without knowing anything!
Could you please ask for our opinion before you do this?
My older sister doesn't even have a husband yet, how could you...?
Ah, no wonder she…”
Yu Chengyuan was furious.
What's wrong with Brother Jiang?
Alas, although he meant well, he ended up doing more harm than good.
"What?
Your older sister doesn't have a husband?
I'm so sorry, Chengyuan, I really didn't know about this!
I thought she was just living at her parents' house and helping you with chores. I never imagined she wasn't married!
Jiang Haiyang was filled with regret and wished he could slap himself twice. No wonder he felt that Yu Xiangcao's attitude had changed, her expression was different, and her tone was different.
I realized I was acting like a reckless fool, making decisions without understanding the situation.
If I had asked Chengyuan and Ping'an, I wouldn't have asked such a silly question.
"Never mind, you didn't know about this either, so I can't blame you."
It can't be said that my eldest sister has never been married.
She was forced by Wang Shi, that wicked grandmother from before, the old woman you met yesterday, to marry an old man.
Yu Chengyuan sighed and continued, "That old man is infertile himself, but he blames it on my older sister."
For the past five years, my sister has been constantly beaten and verbally abused. My older brother and I visited her recently and learned about the suffering she had endured, so we brought her back to our home.
My older sister has nothing to do with him anymore.
She is alone now; she has no husband.
"So that's how it is. It was my fault. I shouldn't have been so self-righteous."
Your eldest sister has really had a tough life!
I understand, I won't ask random questions again.
Jiang Haiyang never expected that Yu Xiangcao was also a person with a tragic fate.
Fortunately, her family was kind and took her home. Her younger brother even arranged a job for her, and she received a monthly salary.
"Alright, let's just let this go. Ignorance is no excuse, so don't take it to heart. My older sister isn't angry."
She is not such a petty person.
My older sister is doing quite well now. Women don't necessarily have to depend on men to live a good life.
Yu Chengyuan said this so that Jiang Haiyang wouldn't feel like he had made a mistake.
"You're right, women don't necessarily have to depend on men to live a good life."
Your older sister is quite capable.
But doesn't she have any plans to remarry?
Jiang Haiyang asked casually.
"There isn't one right now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future."
However, my older sister said that it would be too difficult for her to find a good man given her circumstances.
If she doesn't remarry well, it's better for her to live a comfortable life alone!
I could tell that those five years of marriage had caused her immense pain.
Yu Chengyuan shook his head. His eldest sister probably wouldn't be thinking about relationship matters in the short term. She had already discussed this issue with her daughter-in-law last time.
"I can understand your older sister's thoughts, but I believe that no matter how capable a woman is, she still needs someone who cares about her and understands her needs."
Especially when you are sick, you need someone to bring you tea and water, as well as words of comfort and emotional support.
Even the strongest woman has a vulnerable side. I think if there's a suitable one, your older sister could actually consider it.
In Jiang Haiyang's view, women are like water, and generally speaking, they need to be cared for because they ultimately have a vulnerable side.
"I know that too, but where is it so easy to find a suitable one?"
I don't want my older sister to marry someone who isn't good-natured, isn't tolerant, or has poor qualities. She won't have a good life after marrying him.
Marrying a divorced man and becoming a stepmother isn't easy; you'll likely end up with complaints.
Even a husband and wife may not be able to be of one mind.
“If she marries a man who is getting married for the first time and he is narrow-minded, he will look down on her, and then her life will be even more difficult.”
Moreover, those who are older and still unmarried are either too poor, too stupid, or have some hidden health problem.
For example, it won't work, or...
"Forget about that. Anyway, if my eldest sister doesn't get married, our Yu family can support her indefinitely."
Yu Chengyuan didn't want to talk about gay people, as there probably aren't many like that these days.
So he didn't say it directly.
"Goodness, you just said that older unmarried people are either stupid or poor. So which category do I fall into?"
This brat wouldn't be talking about himself, would he?
I'm almost thirty and still not married.
Yu Chengyuan's heart skipped a beat. He was so focused on talking that he forgot that Jiang Haiyang in front of him was an older, unmarried young man.
Yu Chengyuan smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Brother Jiang, I forgot you're also......"
But you've misunderstood. You're neither poor nor stupid, so there's definitely nothing wrong with you, considering how tall and imposing you are.
Of course, you're not the kind of person who can't find a wife; you're a golden bachelor, unlike the others I'm talking about.
"If you wanted to get married, the girls who wanted to marry you would line up from one end of the city wall to the other, making marriage a piece of cake."
"Where did you learn that? You're getting better and better at talking."
Jiang Haiyang snorted coldly, then laughed at himself.
