Jiang Yi didn't expect Yang Guoqing to act so quickly, but still reminded him, "We should keep this a secret for as long as possible, preferably until my cousin finishes her postpartum confinement."
“That’s what we meant too, but your cousin almost let it slip just now,” Jiang Yin glared at Yang Lan. “If you hadn’t stopped this from getting out of hand, things would have been in turmoil.”
Even if the written document at the time could have addressed the Xie family's shamelessness, it was still very likely that they would have come to make trouble.
"Do you think I don't know why he came here?" Jiang Yin was somewhat disappointed with Yang Lan's previous behavior. Looking at Yang Lan meaningfully, she said, "Their family has been having a hard time lately and urgently needs a free live-in nanny."
I heard that the whole family was injured, some were hospitalized, and sometimes they had to go to the factory canteen to get food.
Why call them back now? Besides taking care of that whole family, do you really think you can take them back and treat them properly?
Yang Lan: "...Mom, I was just angry for a moment."
Besides, I think my life is pretty good now. I'm not stupid enough to go back.
When she was Xie's daughter-in-law, although she didn't do all the housework, she always helped out when she came home from work.
Before she got pregnant, she was usually busy until very late before she could go back to her room to rest, but everyone did it, so she just put up with it.
Only when he was in the thick of it did he realize the hardships involved; the Yang family's success was merely superficial.
"It's best if you think this way. If you're still confused and jump into that pit, don't blame your dad and me for not taking care of you then." Jiang Yin felt she still needed to give her daughter a warning, so that Xie Dacheng wouldn't be able to coax her away with a few nice words.
At that time, Yang Lan was dating Xie Dacheng. She and her husband were against it, but they couldn't stand the girl's stubbornness and insisted on marriage as a matter of personal choice.
Now things are really bad. After suffering so much, not only do I have to bear the consequences, but my parents also have to suffer along with me.
She looked at Jiang Yi and said, "When you bring your wife into the family, you must treat her well. Our family does not have any preference for sons over daughters, nor do we have any bad habits like wasting our wives."
Jiang Yi, “…” Of course he would pamper his own wife. Besides, did he look like that kind of person?
“Women can hold up half the sky now, and they can’t possibly suffer all kinds of grievances like before.” Jiang Yin saw Yang Lan still slowly drinking her fish soup and angrily called her out, “Yang Lan, tell me, am I right or not?”
"Ah, Mom, what did you say?" Yang Lan looked up at Jiang Yin.
Jiang Yin said weakly, "~~ I told you to eat more."
Yang Lan said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm not stupid. I'm not going to waste my good life now and cause trouble."
I didn't react in time; I never imagined Xie Dacheng could be so shameless.
"You'd better remember what you just said," Jiang Yin said irritably, then urged Jiang Yi again, "There's nothing else here, hurry up and go to work, don't be late."
Jiang Yi said, "Then take good care of yourselves. If anything happens, have someone come to me."
There was nothing he could do; he had been away on a business trip for a few days, and he had accumulated some tasks.

Zhou Xiaolan was furious at Hua Guangzong's offer of transportation; she felt she was being targeted.
If the Hua family continues like this, how can she proceed with her plans?
The thought of Bai Ailian mentioning her marriage prospect was unacceptable to her; she'd rather go to the countryside, at least that would give her some breathing room.
But this wasn't the life she had envisioned. When the educated youth who had gone to the countryside returned, they were all tanned like charcoal, dark and thin. Not only did they have endless farm work to do every day, but they also didn't have enough to eat or wear.
The thought of becoming one of them terrified Zhou Xiaolan, who quickly shook her head.
At this moment, she thought of Hua Xiangyun again, wondering whether the Hua family would give her a job or marry her off to Jiang Yi directly.
With such a high salary, Jiang Yi could easily support Hua Xiangyun, so why would he take up a job spot in the Hua family?
No matter how anxious she is now, she will eventually find an opportunity to gamble on Hua Zhian.
After finishing class absentmindedly, he saw that Hua Xiangyun had already left the classroom, so he quickly grabbed his schoolbag and chased after her.
"Xiangyun, my pen is broken. How about we go to the bookstore?" Wu Yanxin was a step ahead of her, so Zhou Xiaolan had to stop and follow behind.
“Sure,” Hua Xiangyun said indifferently. Anyway, it was on the way there and wouldn’t take long.
“I saw Grandpa Hua go fishing again this morning,” Wu Yanxin asked curiously. “Is he going to the West Reservoir again?”
“He was alone, and our family was worried about him going alone, so we let him go with my second brother to the river next to their factory.”
With my second brother helping to carry things, and then picking him up and dropping him off, we can feel more at ease.” Hua Xiangyun had already noticed the little tail following behind her. Let him listen if he wants; he'll know about this soon enough anyway.
Wu Yanxin said, "That's how it should be, after all, Grandpa Hua is getting old."
However, there don't seem to be many fish on the other side of the river; very few people go fishing there anymore.
Hua Xiangyun thought to herself, if it weren't for guarding against someone, Grandpa wouldn't be so tired.
She was also angry, but it had nothing to do with Wu Yanxin; she shouldn't have to bear her anger. Suppressing her temper, she said, "He just wants to pass the time, and if he's lucky, the family can add an extra dish."
My grandma keeps complaining that the supply station hasn't been sending fresh fish for a long time, and sometimes she can't even have a change of pace.
Wu Yanxin said, "That's right. Although the smoked fish is delicious, we get tired of eating it after a while."
But if you want to eat meat, you need meat coupons. We have many rivers here, so what we have the most left over each year are fish coupons.
Zhou Xiaolan, who was following behind, bit her lower lip. Not to mention meat, they hadn't even seen dried fish at home.
Grandpa and Grandma have lived here for so long that they've already used up all their meat and fish coupons.
Last year, everyone had such a good opportunity to catch fish, but her family got nothing, so she hadn't tasted fish for a long time.
Listen to what these two are talking about; they actually complain that they're tired of smoked fish... tired of it...
"Yes, that's why when my parents go to work, they take away mostly fish coupons. When they come back, they complain that every time they want to improve their lives, they eat fish." Hua Xiangyun could already sense the angry glare coming from behind her, but so what?
"I wonder how much Grandpa Hua's harvest went today. Shall we go and take a look?"
Hua Xiangyun: "Then let's hurry up and buy the things, maybe we can still catch up by now."
But let me give you a heads-up: if my grandpa doesn't have a good harvest, you can't laugh, okay?
Hua Xiangyun said this, but she didn't really believe it. When she left, she slipped a lucky charm into the old man's clothes, hoping that he would have good luck all day.
Wu Yanxin: "Don't worry, do you think I'm that clueless?"
Zhou Xiaolan, who was behind them, was secretly delighted. Following behind them, she might be able to strike up a conversation with Hua Zhian again.
