"Yes, I miss my second brother and sister-in-law too, and Anran misses Chuyue and the others. My second sister-in-law is pregnant with twins this time, and my second brother is worried about her. It's good that your brother-in-law can take care of her after he arrives in the prefectural city."
Jiang Qi wasn't oblivious to the sourness in Jiang Lan's tone, but she didn't care. Her second sister-in-law had said that life is one's own, and one shouldn't care too much about what other people think.
"Second sister-in-law is really lucky. Second brother passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, bringing honor to the family. As a result, second sister-in-law's status has also risen accordingly."
"My second brother and sister-in-law are a couple. Besides, they have worked so hard to build this family business, and their contributions are no less than my second brother's."
Jiang Qi watched as her second sister-in-law worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk tending to the watermelon seedlings, braving the scorching sun in the fields for several months before finally harvesting the watermelons and earning a sum of money.
"My second sister-in-law is quite good at making money, but she's a bit stingy."
Jiang Lan spoke the rest of the sentence in a low voice, and Jiang Qi didn't hear what she said.

"Yes, I know. Sister, do you think Mom and Dad will come back when I give birth?"
Jiang Lan was still a little scared. She worried that if something bad happened during childbirth, her parents wouldn't be around to help her.
"Your parents will come back and won't leave you to face childbirth alone. Now, don't think about anything, relax, eat small meals frequently, and do some light exercise, which will help your baby be born smoothly."
Jiang Qi still couldn't bear it; she had practically raised this younger sister herself. No matter what, she hoped Jiang Lan would have a smooth delivery.
"I've got it, sis."
Jiang Lan replied awkwardly, feeling an indescribable discomfort in her heart.
The two sisters chatted for a while, then Jiang Lan said goodbye and went home.
Jiang Qi watched the carriage depart, thinking to herself, "We'll be far apart now, and we won't have many chances to meet again. I hope we can all be well."
