Wang Meizhen sat on the edge of the bed, sulking with an unhappy look on her face.
"Mom! Come out for dinner." Zhan Yifeng's voice came from outside.
Wang Meizhen seemed not to hear it and stared at the TV in front of her with a stern face.
Zhan Dafeng walked into the room and sat down next to Wang Meizhen. "Meizhen, go eat. She is a guest after all. It is not appropriate to neglect her like this."
"If you think it's inappropriate, then go ahead and entertain her. I don't want to see her anyway," Wang Meizhen snorted. She hated Tian Mengxue the moment she thought of her. She'd come to their house for no apparent reason. She also said that Yihan and she had a good relationship and had agreed to date her.
This was simply impossible. She knew Yihan's character best. Once he had decided on Jinyue, he would never change his mind. Moreover, she had only decided on Jinyue as her future daughter-in-law, and no one else would be considered.
"After all, she's Yihan's boss's daughter. If we ignore her like this, what will Yihan's boss think of our Yihan?" Zhan Dafeng advised. He didn't like the girl either, but she was a guest, so he couldn't just leave her alone.
"So what if she's the commander's daughter? Do we have to hold her in high esteem and force Yi Han and Jin Yue to separate? Is that something a human would do? Do you want others to point fingers at us and say we're climbing the social ladder and despising the poor?" Wang Meizhen became angrier the more she thought about it.
Zhan Dafeng patted Wang Meizhen's shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be angry. Yihan will be back soon anyway. Let's wait until Yihan comes back to talk about this matter. The child is a man of his own ideas. If he likes someone, it's useless for us to object. If he doesn't like her, he won't agree even if we force him, don't you think?" He knew his son very well.
In the main room, the three siblings of the Zhan family were chatting with Tian Mengxue.
Zhan Yeping grabbed a handful of peanuts and placed them in front of Tian Mengxue. "Sister Tian, please eat them. Don't be shy. These peanuts are grown in our own fields. They are much better than those you buy outside."
A hint of disgust flashed in Tian Mengxue's eyes, and she smiled and nodded, "Okay." She didn't want to eat this kind of thing.
"Sister Tian, your dress is so beautiful, where did you buy it?" Zhan Yiping looked at Tian Mengxue's dress with envy. This dress must have cost dozens of dollars.
"I bought it at the Friendship Department Store. It's quite cheap, just over two hundred. After the New Year, I'll ask your eldest brother to arrange for you to go to school in Beijing. Then I'll take you to the Friendship Department Store and buy you some nice clothes." Zhan Yeping had regular features and delicate features, but she had a certain rustic air about her that she didn't like. If it weren't for her eldest brother's face, she wouldn't have spoken to her at all, let alone deliberately tried to please her.
"How can I be so embarrassed!" Although Zhan Yeping said she was embarrassed, her eyes were shining with excitement. The commander's daughter was indeed different. She was determined to match her with her eldest brother and make her her eldest sister-in-law.
So what if Su Jinyue found her biological parents? How could she compare to the daughter of a military commander? If her elder brother was with Tian Mengxue in the future, she would be a relative of the military commander. Who would dare to bully her then? Maybe she could even rely on this future sister-in-law to find a good family.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Considering my relationship with your eldest brother, buying you a few pieces of clothing is nothing." Tian Mengxue held Zhan Yeping's hand and looked at her sadly, "Or do you despise me and refuse to accept my kindness?"
"How could I dislike Sister Tian? You're so pretty, gentle, and good-tempered. I'd chase you if I were a man," Zhan Yeping said with a flattering smile. A woman this beautiful and well-connected would be hard to find even with a lantern. Compared to her, Su Jinyue was a world apart.
"By the way, what do you think of your brother's current partner?" Tian Mengxue asked. She had asked Wang Meizhen before, but Wang Meizhen hadn't told her who Zhan Yihan was dating. However, she heard that they were a village doctor, and thinking of village doctors reminded her of Su Jinyue, who seemed to have been a village doctor before. She had only read a little about Su Jinyue and knew only that she was the creator of the Qinglian Pill.
"What can I think? I don't like her anyway." Thinking of Su Jinyue, Zhan Yeping curled her lips in disdain.
"Why don't you like her?" Tian Mengxue asked curiously.
Zhan Yeping thought for a moment, "She has a very bad temper. She even bullies her younger sister who grew up with her. She always speaks ill of her younger sister in front of her master, causing her master to dislike her younger sister." These were all told to her by Song Yiren. Thinking of Song Yiren, she shook her head with some regret. It was said that when Song Yiren was being sent to the border prison, she escaped on the way and her whereabouts are still unknown. Compared to Su Jinyue, she would rather Song Yiren be her sister-in-law, at least Song Yiren would give her delicious food. Su Jinyue still couldn't bear to give her even a piece of candy, let alone buy her clothes in the future. Fortunately, she has Tian Mengxue now.
"Is she really that kind of person?" Tian Mengxue felt a little happy. If the other party was really as Zhan Yiping said, then she would be relieved. Zhan Yihan would definitely not like that kind of woman.
"Of course. If you don't believe me, ask my second and third brothers. They all know." Zhan Yiping turned to look at Zhan Yifeng and Zhan Yilin. "Second and third brothers, don't you agree?"
"I think Doctor Su is pretty good," Zhan Yifeng said. He had always played with Su Jinyue when he was little, and her medical skills were excellent, not as bad as his sister said.
"I also think Sister Su is a nice person." Zhan Yilin agreed.
Zhan Yeping glared at the two of them in dissatisfaction, kicked them both under the table, and said to Tian Mengxue with an awkward smile: "Sister Tian, don't listen to them, what do they know? What I told you is what her sister told me, how can it be false?" How could these two stupid brothers not see the situation clearly? The worse they say about Su Jinyue now, the happier Tian Mengxue will be. She will be their sister-in-law in the future and will treat them better. After all, they are on the same side with her.
Tian Mengxue smiled and said, "Can you take me to meet her?" Only by meeting someone could she know what kind of person they were.
"She's out working. I wonder if she'll be back this year," Zhan Yeping said. Big Brother was being ridiculous. Why was he so nice to Su Jinyue? He even took her to Beijing to study. She couldn't let Tian Mengxue know about this. If she got angry and left, it would be hard for Big Brother to marry her. Then Su Jinyue would get the better deal.
