"Big sister, you're really good at bragging," Jiang Xu couldn't help but pour cold water on Jiang Nuan's smugness. "If that's really the case, you'll be on top of the world."
"Second son, what will you say?" Grandma Jiang glared at her son with displeasure. "If your sister says she can do it, then she can do it."
Her daughter is someone who has received a divine favor.
The skills they learned from the immortals were beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals.
"Mother," Jiang Xu said, feeling extremely wronged, "whatever you say goes!"
Whenever it comes to his eldest sister, his mother's heart is always biased.
He has already compromised with reality.
After saying this, he channeled his grief and anger into his appetite and began to eat dumplings in silence.
Seeing this, Old Lady Jiang snorted coldly and stopped talking.
After finishing his meal, Jiang Xu remembered what had happened earlier and secretly asked Grandma Jiang, "Mother, what did my eldest sister say?"
"Don't worry about it," Grandma Jiang said casually. "She can read and won't harm her children and grandchildren, so don't worry."
"When did your older sister learn to read?" Jiang Xu was stunned. "How come I didn't know?"
“It’s perfectly normal that you don’t know,” Old Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes at her son. “Your eldest sister has been married for over twenty years. How could she possibly let you know everything?”
“That’s true!” Although Jiang Xu was still surprised, he gritted his teeth and accepted the statement.
Although his mother was a bit biased, she wasn't the kind of unreliable person.
Having resolved the major obstacle in his heart, Jiang Xu felt relieved about Jiang Nuan. He looked up at the sky and found Jiang Nuan.
"Big sister," Jiang Xu rubbed his hands, "it's getting late, Mom and I are going home first."
It will take another half an hour to walk back; if we don't go back soon, it will be dark.
"You can go back by yourself, your mother will stay here for a few days."
"How can that be?" Jiang Xu asked anxiously. "How am I going to explain this to Father?"
“That’s your problem,” Jiang Nuan said innocently, spreading her hands. “There’s nothing I can do about it.”
"Big sister," Jiang Xu cried out, grabbing his hair in frustration, "You can't bully people like this!"
His parents were inseparable their whole lives; if they couldn't see his mother for a while, his father would search everywhere for her.
If his father knew that he had left his mother behind for the next few days and couldn't come home, he was sure his father would definitely whip him with his treasured feather duster.
He's a man in his fifties, and his son is about to get married; he can't afford to lose face like that.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan glanced at Jiang Xu coldly, then turned and shouted at Old Madam Jiang, "Mother, Jiang Xu is bullying me."
"Jiang Xu, you deserve a beating, don't you? How dare you bully your sister?" Old Mrs. Jiang roared in a powerful voice, then rushed over in a whirlwind.
"Mom, can't you be reasonable? She's the one who bullied me," Jiang Xu said accusingly to Jiang Nuan. "My eldest sister said she wants you to stay for a few more days."
"Let me stay for a few days?" Old Mrs. Jiang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly refused, "No, that would waste so much food."
She's too old to work and would only be a burden to her daughter, so it's better for her to eat at her own home.
"Mother," Jiang Nuan looked at Old Madam Jiang with a pitiful expression, "Can't I just take good care of you for a few days?"
"As long as your mother knows you are filial, there's no need to stay here," Madam Jiang said with a smile, stroking Jiang Nuan's hair. "It would be a laughing stock if people found out."
She has a son to support her in her old age, and it's fine for her to come over occasionally to bring some things to her daughter, but what kind of person is she to live here?
If people find out, they'll definitely say the daughter is supporting her parents' family, and she's suffering this injustice for no reason. Why bother?
She wouldn't want her daughter to suffer any injustice.
"Mom, why do you care about them?" Jiang Nuan retorted indignantly. "Our lives aren't determined by what they say, so why should we pay attention to them?"
