Chapter 4: Is it suitable?

That happened two years later.

Xinyue just turned 19...

She choked up in her throat and reached out to hug Jiang Xinyue.

"sister?"

Jiang Xinyue was confused.

"Second sister."

Jiang Manyue was born prematurely and was unable to drink milk, so although she was managed to grow up, she was very thin and short.

Although he is eight years old, he acts like a five or six-year-old.

The face was yellow and thin, and was really only the size of Jiang Mingyue's palm.

At this moment, she was gently pulling the corner of Jiang Mingyue's clothes, her voice was thin and soft, like a newborn kitten.

"Man Yue, give Second Sister a hug, and the pain will go away."

Jiang Mingyue didn't want to cry at first, but when she heard her little sister's words, tears fell from her eyes.

"Don't cry, second sister." Jiang Manyue coaxed.

"Damn Dong Chengcai!"

Jiang Xinyue cursed loudly, rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush out.

"Okay."

Jiang Mingyue pressed Jiang Xinyue's shoulders hard, and her tone became heavier. She wiped her tears and asked seriously, "What do you want to do?"

Jiang Xinyue was a little frightened when her second sister, who always spoke gently, suddenly became stern.

"I'm going to avenge you. I'm going to beat that bastard Dong Chengcai to death."

"You are a little girl who studies, and you always swear when you open your mouth. Is this what your teacher taught you?"

Jiang Mingyue stared at Jiang Xinyue with a frown on her face, not approving of the way she spoke.

Jiang Xinyue didn't know whether she felt guilty or something else, she didn't dare to look her in the eye, and turned her face away, "Anyway, he bullied our Jiang family, I can't just sit there and watch."

"What do you care about?"

Jiang Mingyue was both angry and amused. She reached out and tapped Jiang Xinyue's head. "Just get your grades up for me. It's none of your business to worry about other things."

"Second sister!"

Jiang Xinyue stamped her feet fiercely, "You've been bullied like this, and you still want to forgive that bastard?"

"Forgive me?"

Jiang Mingyue murmured Jiang Xinyue's words, with a cold smile on her lips.

"They don't deserve it!"

"Second sister..."

Before Jiang Xinyue could say anything, the courtyard door was pushed open again and Old Mrs. Jiang and Old Man Jiang, who were working in the fields, walked in from outside.

The moment they saw Jiang Mingyue, they also hurried forward.

"Grandpa, slow down, your knee still hurts." Jiang Mingyue hurried forward.

Jiang Xinyue and Jiang Manyue also hurried forward to take the hoe from the old man.

"Second girl, is this face of yours caused by the Dong family?"

Old man Jiang is seventy years old. He was in poor health in his early years, but he has been holding on because he has granddaughters to take care of.

Old Mrs. Jiang cried so much that one of her eyes went blind because she lost her son in middle age. Now she can see with only one eye.

The old couple surrounded Jiang Mingyue, their faces full of concern.

"Second girl, tell me the truth. The Dong family is really rude and beat people. Even if I risk my life, I will seek justice for you."

"Yes, second girl, don't be afraid, grandpa and grandma are here, they are on your side."

The concern of the two elders was intense. Jiang Mingyue looked at the old and thin faces of her grandparents, and thought about what they had experienced in their previous lives. She held back her tears and shook her head gently.

"Grandma, no, don't worry, I scratched my face myself."

Jiang Mingyue didn't want to hide the truth from her closest family members.

"What?"

"Second girl, what's going on?"

The old couple were very surprised.

Jiang Xinyue also looked suspicious.

Jiang Mingyue simply pulled them into the main room and asked Jiang Xinyue to lock the gate.

She sat at the square table and briefly explained to the two elders why she scratched her face.

The general meaning is that the Dong family is not a good family, and they married her for ulterior motives. She had to do this in order to escape from the Dong family's hell.

Old Man Jiang and Old Lady Jiang looked heavy-hearted after hearing what their second granddaughter said.

"Second girl, it's all grandma's fault"

The old lady felt extremely guilty.

"If grandma had asked more people, she wouldn't have pushed you into this fire pit..."

"No, grandma."

Jiang Mingyue held the old lady's withered hands and told her not to blame herself. "Don't worry, I can handle this very well."

"Whether it's you and Grandpa, or the new moon or the full moon, don't worry, I'm not the same person I was before."

"Now that mom and dad are gone, I will be the head of the family and I will protect you."

She used to be weak. She didn’t dare to talk back no matter the villagers laughed at her or she was bullied by her second aunt’s family.

But now it's different.

After she was reborn, she would never forgive anyone who wanted to harm her family or bully her family.

Thinking of this, she gave the old man and the old lady some instructions.

"Dong Meiyu destroyed the Dong family. When that old man Dong Jianguo comes home, he will definitely ask Dong Chengcai to come over."

"When the time comes, grandpa and grandma, please cooperate with me..."

As for how to cooperate?

Jiang Mingyue has already thought about it.

Dinner in the evening was brown rice porridge, boiled sweet potatoes and some boiled beans.

When the old lady saw the wound on Jiang Mingyue's face, she made up her mind and asked Jiang Xinyue to get three eggs and fry them.

Jiang Mingyue didn't refuse.

Everyone in their family, whether the elderly or children, is severely malnourished.

Three eggs may not make up for much, but they help, little by little.

The eggs were fried, but the two old people and the two younger sisters refused to eat them. They pushed the eggs in front of her and asked her to eat more.

Jiang Mingyue picked up the bowl, divided the egg into five portions, and gave a piece to her grandparents and two younger sisters. She finally poured the smaller piece into her own bowl.

"Second Sister"

"Second girl, you..."

"This is for your health."

As they were talking, they were about to give her the egg in their bowl. Jiang Mingyue covered the mouth of the bowl and refused.

At the same time, she also used the dinner table to express her attitude.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Xinyue, we are a family. We share the good and the bad."

"If anyone gives good food to a person like this again, I will be angry."

Not to mention her gloomy face, it was still very scary.

The old couple stopped talking. Jiang Xinyue wanted to say something, but Jiang Mingyue gave her a sidelong glance. She lowered her head obediently and dared not say anything.

When my second sister came back a few days after getting married, she seemed like a different person.

However, Jiang Xinyue likes this kind of change.

She lowered her head and took small bites of the egg.

"Second sister."

Jiang Manyue, who was sitting next to Jiang Mingyue, carefully tugged at Jiang Mingyue's sleeve and asked, "Is today the New Year?"

“We eat better than during Chinese New Year.”

These simple words made Jiang Mingyue's eyes red again.

She raised her hand and touched Jiang Manyue's hair, then gave her the egg from her bowl.

"I don't want it, second sister, that's yours."

Jiang Manyue also protected the chipped bowl in front of her with the back of her small hand.

"Man Yue eats his own."

Jiang Mingyue's eyes became even more sore.

"My second sister will definitely make a lot of money and cook a lot of meat and eggs for Man Yue to eat."

"Um."

Although Jiang Manyue didn't know when she could live such a good life, she believed in her second sister.

"Man Yue will earn money when she grows up, and buy delicious food for grandpa and grandma, and for my second sister."

"You're not going to buy it for your third sister? You little girl!"

Jiang Xinyue pretended to be angry.

Jiang Manyue quickly added her in, "Also to the third sister."

"You naughty girl, I won't braid your hair anymore."

There was constant laughter and joy at the table.

A family of five had just finished their meal and put down their bowls when they heard the courtyard door being slammed.

"Jiang Mingyue, get out of here!"
