Chapter 18 What I Should Do

Jiang Xianli looked at his clothes which were already soaked and dripping with water.

"Don't worry, Yangyang. I'll find you some clothes to change into first, and then we'll go find my eldest sister."

Her eldest sister is a worker in a food factory, her eldest brother-in-law Zhang Yunlai is a team leader in a bus company, and her parents are both small leaders in a steel factory.

When they first got married, the Zhang family looked down on her elder sister.

Zhang Yun came and saw that her elder sister was beautiful, so he insisted on marrying her.

But not long after he married her, Zhang Yunlai became bored and spent all day drinking and playing cards outside and never came home.

In addition, they had been married for several years without having children, so Zhang Yunlai became even more aggressive and treated her eldest sister as a nanny.

In her previous life, her eldest sister became pregnant this year and gave birth to a girl.

The Zhang family favors boys over girls, and they treated her elder sister harshly during her confinement. The beast Zhang Yunlai even secretly looked for women outside.

But her eldest sister was traditional in her thinking and refused to get a divorce. In addition, her family did not support her, so she spent most of her life suffering from the bullying of Zhang Yunlai.

In this life, she must persuade her elder sister to leave Zhang Yunlai.

Jiang Xianli ran upstairs again and knocked on Xie Jingcheng's door.

He was also taking a nap, and answered drowsily, "Come in."

Jiang Xianli pushed the door open and saw that he hadn't closed his eyes yet, so she tiptoed and whispered, "Well...my brother is here, and he's all wet. I'll lend you a set for him to wear."

Xie Jingcheng is 1.87 meters tall, and her younger brother is 1.85 meters tall. They are of similar build, so they should be able to wear it.

She picked out a white shirt, a pair of black trousers, and a coat from her closet.

Just as he was about to leave, Xie Jingcheng suddenly sat up.

"Why is he here at this time? Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Xianli did not hide it, "Well, my eldest sister and her husband had a quarrel, and he asked me to go with him to take a look. I'm afraid he will need to borrow your car for a while."

"We are husband and wife. What's mine is yours. There's no question of whether to lend or not. But the rain is heavier than it was at noon. I'm worried about you driving alone. Let Yangyang change his clothes first. I'll get up and take you there."

Jiang Xianli pursed her lips and said, "Thank you so much."

"No, this is what I should do."

Jiang Xianli turned and left, but a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of her lips.

In his previous life, what Wu Jianting hated most was hearing about the trivial matters in their family. He would only complain about their family affairs and people, let alone help.

But no one would have thought that Xie Jingcheng, who seemed like a well-behaved young man in the eyes of outsiders, was actually so warm-hearted and righteous.

When Jiang Xianli and the others arrived at the place where Jiang Xianhong and her husband had quarreled, they were gone, so they hurriedly went to her house.

The Zhang family's door was locked, and Jiang Xianli knocked hard.

After a while, Zhang Yunlai's impatient voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

When he opened the door, he saw Jiang Xianli and Jiang Xianyang standing outside. He was about to say something unpleasant, but when he saw Xie Jingcheng, he immediately smiled.

"Isn't this my second brother-in-law? What brings you here? Come in, come in."

The Zhang family had three tiled houses with a small courtyard. Jiang Xianli did not go into the house, but just asked in the courtyard, "Where is my eldest sister?"

Zhang Yunlai smiled flatteringly, "Otherwise, why do people say that sisters have telepathy? Your elder sister may have known that you were coming and went out to buy groceries."

"Did you buy groceries?" Jiang Xianyang didn't have the patience to be polite with him, and asked directly: "Did you have an argument with my eldest sister on the street this afternoon?"

"Any couple would have a quarrel. Don't worry, brother-in-law. It's nothing serious. Your elder sister and I are doing fine."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a sharp woman's voice coming from outside.

"Jiang Xianhong, I'm not saying anything to you as your mother-in-law, it's just that you're too ignorant. What man in this world doesn't like to have fun? Yunlai just plays cards and drinks, and he can make money again if he loses. But you argued with him on the street to save his face, and he slapped you, don't you deserve it?"

As they were talking, a woman in her forties and a woman under thirty walked in one after another.

It was Jiang Xianhong and her mother-in-law Li Guifen.

Jiang Xianhong was carrying a vegetable basket in one hand and a rice bag in the other, while Li Guifen was carrying a small bag, looking like an old Buddha.

"I'm telling you, only when you are content can you be happy forever. If you were to end up like the spendthrift from the Xie family that your second sister just married, and find another woman on the wedding night, wouldn't you be worried sick every day?"

"Ahem..." Zhang Yunlai winked at him, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Only then did Li Guifen notice that there were three more people in the yard.

She didn't know Xie Jingcheng, and she was just a little embarrassed when she saw Jiang Xianli, but she didn't restrain herself.

"Am I wrong? Compared to Jiang Xianli, Jiang Xianhong must have been very lucky in her previous life to marry you."

Jiang Xianli sneered, "Auntie, what you said is a bit biased, isn't it? I married into the Xie family, and everything was provided for me. I lived in a western-style house and drove a car. My husband and parents-in-law never said a harsh word to me.

On the other hand, my elder sister married into your family. Not only did she have to cook and wash clothes, but she was also scolded by you and your son every day. She even had to give you half of her salary. Your son took the rest to gamble, and when he got drunk and went crazy, he would beat my elder sister. If you really compare her to me, she married into your family and she was like a massacrer in her previous life."
