90 is not biological

  "Panda blood is a very rare blood type." Zhang Qiuyan said, spitting out an interesting topic, "For example, if someone with panda blood loses too much blood, because there are few people of the same blood type, they may be in danger of losing their life."

  "Do you mean that if Manman loses too much blood, her life will be in danger?" Xu Yu'e asked with a furrowed brow. Although she didn't like her eldest daughter, after all, she was still her own daughter.

  "Not just that." Zhang Qiuyan winked at Xu Yuye, "What about you? Big brother? Or maybe Yuanyuan? If she's like Manman, a panda blood type, also a high-risk individual."

  Xu Yujiao was stunned: "I don't even know what blood type I am. By the way, how did you know that Manman is a panda blood?"

  Getting to the point, Zhang Qiuyan was happy to share with Xu Yu'e a piece of gossip she had received: "Mangmang was framed and went to the hospital for an abortion. Later it was proven that someone had impersonated Mangmang, and it wasn't actually her, because their blood types were different."

  "Ah——Xu Yu'e's eyebrows were still furrowed: 'Mianmian, until now you don't have any children?'"

  Zhang Qiuyan heard her say this, smiled and found it quite strange: "You don't like Manman, yet you're worried about her?"

  "No matter what she is, she's my daughter!" Xǔ Yù'è's nostrils flared, and she let out a hum, displaying a loving mother's demeanor.

  Who would have thought that Xu Yu'e was thinking that if Manman had a son, her status in the Jiang family would rise, and her relatives would look at her with new eyes. Xu Yu'e believed that she was Manman's mother and didn't believe that one day she wouldn't be able to enjoy this blessing.

  Zhang Qiuyan also wanted to take advantage of this good fortune, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed over to tell Xu Yu'e about it. She sighed: "If it's a boy, that's fine. If it's a girl, some people say northerners don't have the same heavy male-light female consciousness as our side, but it's hard to say, it depends on what kind of family Manman's in-laws are. From what I've heard, Manman's mother-in-law is from a military family and attaches great importance to the issue of boys and girls."

  "Really?" Xǔ Yù'é had never seen Jiang's mother before, and upon hearing Zhang Qiuyan's words, she could imagine Jiang's mother as a kind of old witch like Wēn Nǎinai. She didn't like it and said, "Isn't this supposed to be an intellectual family? Why is it like some rural old lady?"

  Zhang Qiuyan sympathized with Manman on the one hand, because she felt that they were all someone's daughter-in-law now and could empathize with each other. On the other hand, she could also understand Jiang Mu's feelings and said: "However, if I think about it, if I have a son and his wife can't even produce an egg, it would be quite disappointing."

  As Zhang Qiuyan thought, Xu Yuye was the kind of person who would change her mind as soon as she heard something: "In that case, Manman will definitely have a son. I'll tell her father, having a son is the pride of the mother and child. If we don't want Manman to follow in our footsteps, we must have a son! We must bring honor to the Wen family."

  Zhang Qiuyan, who was secretly laughing, blinked her eyes and didn't answer: Can this child be born if he wants to? If they all give birth to sons, are there so many daughters in the world? Moreover, Meimei doesn't even have any news in her belly yet.

  "Hey, you say can't have kids? Don't worry." Xu Yu'e suddenly said, "Isn't it said that there's something called test-tube babies and surrogate mothers now? Let her husband spend some money, whether they want a boy or girl, it's not a problem. Her husband isn't very rich, is he? So marrying a rich husband is a good thing, with money, there's nothing that can't be solved."

  Listening to Xu Yujiao's seemingly true yet twisted logic, Zhang Qiuyan was left speechless for a long time, unable to think of a rebuttal.

  Two daughters-in-law sat beside the old man's sickbed, chatting without any restraint, as if Grandma Wen lying in bed was already a dead person.

  As they were talking halfway through, Zhang Qiuyan felt thirsty and reminded Xu Yuezhen: "Sister-in-law, is there any water?"

  Not even helping to take care of the old man, and yet you want water? Xu Yujiao narrowed her eyes and said: "Sorry, I don't have a water cup here, only my own. Because my husband said that even if it's just me alone, I still have to stay here and guard."

  Zhang Qiuyan felt suffocated, Xu Yujiao was just waiting here, which was equivalent to just sitting here.

  She herself was unwilling to come and help take care of the elderly, in the end Er Fang spent money to hire a full-time caregiver to take care of Lao Ren's family 24 hours a day, so that Xu Yu'e didn't have to do anything.

  If it weren't for my husband Wen Shi Rong being a filial son, those two extreme products of daughters wouldn't even lift a finger or spend a penny, all they know is to open their mouths and say they're not unfilial. Dammit, when the two daughters come to Beijing, I'll slap them in the face first.

  At that time, Mengmeng's slap on Wen Nian's face was really satisfying.

  Occasionally, it's quite to her liking, unlike Liao Shuya and Wang Yunyun who are not pleasing to the eye. It's just Wen Huan, with too many heart eyes, looking at them makes one feel annoyed.

  It's just a pity that I did something wrong before, and now Mu Mu is intentionally keeping her distance from them, filled with regret!

  Xu Yujiao refused to help her find a cup, and the nurse took advantage of their distraction to slip out and buy something. Zhang Qiuyan sulkily walked over to the nurse's station to look for a disposable cup.

  She finally borrowed a cup back, only to hear that this plastic cup was for patients to leave urine in. Zhang Qiuyan felt depressed even when drinking water. When she walked to the patient's bedside and poured water from the kettle into the cup, she suddenly felt a gaze like a poisonous snake staring at her face, her whole body chilled, looking around, not seeing anyone.

  How strange!

  Xu Yujiao came out of the bathroom and saw her there, blurting out: "You haven't left yet?"

  "Sister-in-law, is it wrong for me and you to have a chat?" Zhang Qiuyan slammed the teapot onto the ground with a loud noise.

  "Alright, what's wrong?" Xǔ Yù'é said lazily, "But you have time to chat with me here, how can you tell my husband that you're too busy and can't come keep an old person company?"

  "Hehehe." Zhang Qiuyan forced a smile, "I just happened to be free today because Haoran and his friends went out to play, so I came over."

  "Haoxue isn't going to take the graduate exam? Has she made any progress? My daughter Yuanyuan is now a high school student in Beijing." Xu Yujiao seized the opportunity to show off her little girl's achievements.

  In Zhang Qiuyan's opinion, Xu Yuye was a foolish woman. No matter how good her grades were, it was not as good as marrying well. Manman married well. It is unlikely that Wen Huan will be able to do better than Manman in the future.

  Anyway, as long as Yu'e and Manman's relationship is bad for a day, it will be over.

  "My daughter Yuyan will marry a high-ranking official in the future, not just the son of an official." Xuyu E saw the schadenfreude in Zhang Qiuyan's heart and got angry.

  "Sister, it's not that I didn't remind you. These high-ranking officials, men who can really make it to such a position at their age, are all in their 40s or 50s. Are you sure you want Yanyan to marry a man of 40 or 50 years old? No mistake, you're willing, just like letting Manman marry Jin Ruowen. But can you guarantee that Yanyan will listen to your words?"

  Xu Yujiao suffered a loss, staring at Zhang Qiuyan, but definitely didn't think that outside the door in the corridor, her little daughter had heard every word they said.

  Wen Huan, leaning against the wall with her school bag, closed her eyes and took deep breaths, feeling a sense of hardship: Ever since Manman married into a good family, all the bad luck in their household seemed to have shifted onto her.

  Manman, for her, this older sister who is not a biological sister always gives her tremendous pressure.

  It's laughable that Mianmian seems to have always been very satisfied with being the daughter of a grocery store owner.

  If she had better biological relatives, she would have dumped the Wen family long ago.

  Whose child is Manman?

  If Mianmian's biological family is worse than the Wen family, it might be because of this reason that Mianmian doesn't want to abandon the Wen family.

  Her eyes spun around, bewildered and uncertain.

  No one is stupid, so Manman's relatives can only be worse than the Wen family, not better.

  If so, find your own sister and let Manman leave the Wen family.

  No one will compare her with Manman again, even if they do, Manman's maternal family is worse than hers. It's really unknown how Jiang Mu, who is as selfish as the Wen family, would look at Manman.

  Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.

  She promised Lin Wenchang, her younger brother-in-law, that she would not say anything and would not be a bad person, but she could find her own sister, which was always right.

  The elderly family only revealed a piece of information about Ping An Kou, how to find it?

  Her own mother knew nothing about it, but Zhang Qiuyan, who loved money, had never found anything from the old man's former residence.

  "Mom, Second Aunt." She walked calmly into the door, with a little girl's demeanor.

  "Yuan Yuan, are you done with school?" Xu Yu'e hurriedly helped her little daughter move a chair.

  "Mom, I want some water." One sentence, and his mother was sent away.

  Xu Yujiao hurriedly ran outside to help her little daughter find some good drinking water, but it was just plain boiled water. She worried that her little daughter wasn't getting enough nutrition.

  Yu Xiaoyan sat on one side, vigilant and serious, not saying a word.

  "Second Auntie, I heard that Haoyue sister is going to pursue a master's degree at Communication University of China." Qian Yanzhang easily brought up the topic without any difficulty.

  "Yes." A mother with an accomplished daughter, which one wouldn't want to show off? Zhang Qiuyan chattered on and on, laughing non-stop, "Found a graduate school teacher at the University of Media, said she really likes my Haoxue, said she's eloquent and has the potential to be a host."

  How can Wen Haosheng with his pig-like appearance be a host?

  If they were to be honest, all the beautiful female anchors on TV would have to revert back to their pig-like state.

  Wen Yuanyuan smiled and continued to steer the conversation towards the topic she wanted to know about: "Second Aunt, before you came to Beijing, I heard my mom say that you had been to Grandma's hometown."

  That's because Sheng Pa and Jiang Dashao were afraid of stealing valuable things from the old man's house when they visited, so they had to ask around the neighbors. Of course, she had already searched the old man's place many times in previous years under various pretexts, and it was impossible for anything to be left.

  "Yes, I went back to my hometown. Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Zhang Qiuyan raised her guard and sized up Wen Huan, wondering if this little niece was also thinking of taking advantage of the old man's inheritance.

  "No, just last time, didn't my mom ask me to ask grandma about the jade pendant in our old house? I didn't, and neither did Manman. My mom was adamant that it must be with grandma. Later, I remembered that grandma had mentioned something to me once." Wen Xuan said this with a serious tone.

  Zhang Qiuyan found it hard to believe.

  "What's going on?" She was taken aback, forgetting how this cunning little niece could bring up such a secretive matter with her own mouth, and asked urgently.

  "Grandma said that in her maternal family, they would tie a safety pin on newborn babies. My dad had one too." Of course, these words were all made up by Wen Huan herself. How could the eccentric Grandma Wen and the tight-lipped Wen Shi Xuan tell her such things?

  But Zhang Qiuyan listened and felt reasonable: "Your second uncle said that the jade pendant he saw at home when he was young was just a peace knot. Later, everyone said that the jade pendant of our ancestors was not only a peace knot, so it was changed to the one Haoxue has now."

  Her sharp eyes narrowed into a thin slit: So, it seems that her own sister didn't really die, but was given a safety amulet by the old man and sent away, who knows.

  As for the Xiantao jade pendant that everyone sees now, who brought it? It's unlikely to be Manman, not to mention her, even Xu Yuye has never seen Manman wear it.

  What if it was a transaction? The old man gave his own daughter to someone else, and the other party sent this jade pendant back to the old man as a token.

  It's possible.

  "Has Second Uncle ever told you what kind of peace knot our Wen family has? Maybe the other branches all wear the immortal peach, but our main branch is different, we still wear the peace knot."

  "This, I'll ask your Second Uncle." Zhang Qiuyan sold a pass on Guantou and wanted to swallow it alone.

  Wen Yu coldly smiled: "Second Aunt, if you don't tell me clearly, how can I find it in our home?"

  Indeed, first of all, one has to ask the old man himself if he has found it, in order to know whether it is still in his hands.

  "Your second uncle said that the peace knot, when exposed to sunlight, has a red glow inside the jade." Zhang Qiuyan revealed the news and carefully reminded her, "You go home and search for it carefully."

  Wen Yu nodded: This is a valuable clue, she will definitely find her own sister.

  Eyes narrowed.

  The old man on the sickbed slightly narrowed his eyes without making a sound.

  At the door, Xu Yu'e, who had just bought a bottle of nutritional quickline for her little daughter, heard this and covered her astonished mouth with her hand: It turned out to be a Ping'an knot, not an immortal peach!

  ……

  Last night was disturbed by Jiang's mother, and the whole family had no time to eat a good meal.

  By this noon, Jiang Dashao and Manman invited everyone to come over again and reheat the dishes from last night, otherwise they would go to waste.

  Jiang's father came over and called Manman into the study room.

  "Ah." As he walked, gazing down at the brick floor, Jiang's father had his hands clasped behind his back.

  "Dad, what's up? Say it." Mianmian wiped her hands on the small apron tied around her waist and said.

  "Last night your mother-in-law came home and I scolded her again. So——"

  "Dad, this has nothing to do with you. I'm not someone who can't tell right from wrong, so don't worry."

  Jiang's father paused, looking at her with a hint of inquiry in his mature and steady eyes.

  He had heard the rumors about her and the Lu family before, but he had always trusted this daughter-in-law's character, so he didn't think much of it. However, after seeing the actions of the two colonels last night, he saw some clues that this young daughter-in-law was connected to the Lu family, and it was definitely not a superficial connection.

  Even if it's not for his son, but just for his daughter-in-law, he should ask clearly as an elder.

  "I asked you, have you ever thought about it?"

  The elders' gaze on her carried a kind of scrutinizing pressure, and Yuè's eyebrows slightly furrowed as she said, "Dad, are you referring to my relationship with Auntie?"

  "No, I understand your relationship with your mother-in-law. As I said to you at the beginning, if she doesn't change her attitude after doing something wrong, you don't have to call her 'mom' and don't need to make any concessions to her," said Jiang's father.

  "Dad, what do you mean?" Yue'er's eyebrows furrowed into a small knot.

  "Last night - " Jiang's father put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in front of her, reminiscing as if talking to himself, "Director Lu not only personally asked about this matter but also used his personal connections to make it go smoothly. I wanted Ah Yan to express my heartfelt gratitude and apology to him last night, and wait for the day when Director Lu is free to visit him in person."

  "Is Father going to Commander Lu's house?" The question was tinged with a hint of anxiety.

  "Don't you agree?" Jiang's father narrowed his eyes, if he saw the enthusiasm of the Lu family towards Manman last night, then Manman's reserved attitude towards the Lu family last night was equally clear in his eyes.

  "No. It's just that I think if Dad does this, wouldn't it be a bit too much? Commander Lu might not like it. From what I know, he's an honest official and won't ask others to come and thank him for such things." Mianmian lowered her head slightly, her gaze cast down at the wall corner, revealing a complex mood.

  "I think that no matter what Commander Lu thinks, we can't afford to be impolite in this courtesy. Mr. Chiang saw her mood and pulled the conversation back, "If you have any different ideas, feel free to bring them up."

  "What Father says makes sense, if it's something he has decided on, I don't think I have any opinions to offer." With a steady hand, he adjusted his glasses, as if the slight emotional fluctuation had never existed.

  Raising an eyebrow, after today's probe, confirming that what he saw last night was not wrong, Jiang father sat down, with a thick and wide smile: "Man Man, can you tell me how you got to know Lu Shang and the others?"

  The crescent-shaped eyebrows slightly frowned, and she let out a slight sigh in her heart. She didn't plan to evade Jiang's father's question. As her husband's father, she said casually, "Dad, they are Ah Yan's comrades-in-arms. I only have dealings with them because of him. Before that, I didn't know them at all."

  "Is that all?"

  "Yes." Two words as solid as iron.

  "Manman, I know you're not only sincere and honest, but also loyal to your principles, a strong and independent child. However, occasionally, now that you're my daughter-in-law, I hope you don't have to be so strong all the time. You have a family, not just your birth family, our home here is also yours. Can you consider us as your support?" Jiang's words were filled with the warmth and concern of an elder, his gentle eyes fixed on his young daughter-in-law. "So, I asked if there was any relationship between you and the Lu family, not to suspect or doubt you like outsiders do, but just to show that no matter what, our home is your strong backing. You will never be fighting alone, from the moment you married Ah Yan, you became a member of this family."

  Receiving such a sudden confession from Jiang's father, I was shocked.

  Home, her home, Wen's family inside, except for father and younger sister-in-law, it is no longer a home.

  Marrying her husband and forming a new family with him, the two young people have to face the complex social circle as a family unit, which is inevitably daunting and unsettling. With just the two of them, their fighting power is not strong enough, especially when his mother rejects her and her mother rejects him in this complicated situation.

  She is her husband's wife, but whether she can really be considered a member of the Jiang family is still uncertain and doubtful in her heart. After all, Mother Jiang does not accept her, and it seems that her husband's older brother's family also has no intention of accepting her.

  Now, Jiang's father's words gave her a definite answer, telling her a true and thick kinship.

  "Dad..." The words were stuck in her throat, the surge of emotions in her chest hard to put into words. "I... I want to say, I regard you as a respected elder, just like my own dad."

  "Good child." Three words from Father Jiang represented a thousand words.

  Facing such a sincere Jiang father, there are some words that she should say out loud, and express her will just like the Jiang father. Yue'er's eyes were firm: "Just as Dad said, the Jiang family will be my backing, I, as a member of the Jiang family, will absolutely not drag the Jiang family down. No matter what happens to me, I won't let it harm the Jiang family in any way."

  A virtuous and eloquent young wife is like a warrior who is always ready for battle.

  It seems that this matter is somewhat different from what I imagined.

  Isn't it that the Lu family is 100% good to their young daughter-in-law?

  Jiang's father was taken aback for a moment, then saw the shadow of his son in the door crack, and stopped talking after a moment's thought.

  The little daughter-in-law walked out.

  Jiang Dashao's figure flashed in, facing his father.

  Shaking his head, Old Jiang signaled to his son to close the door tightly and lowered his voice: "You don't need to hide it from me, what's going on?"

  Jiang Dashao did not dare to reveal the ins and outs of the matter, as the Lu family did not want too many people to know about it, including his own father.

  "Dad, all I can say is that Manman is great and she will never cause you any trouble." Jiang Yan said to his father with the same resolute attitude as his wife.

  The hesitant gaze, on the son's handsome and stern face, finally lowered his eyes and sighed: "Actually, my heart problem, last time that attending doctor mentioned to me, said it's best to have surgery, while I still have physical strength. But, need to find an excellent surgeon."

  Upon hearing the completely unexpected news from her father, Ying's eyebrows furrowed tightly and she was unable to relax for a long time.

  Last night, he just heard from his two fathers-in-law that his wife's blood is precious, and today, he heard again about Jiang's father's physical problems.

  "I told the doctor that it would be best to wait until I see the birth of my grandchildren before undergoing surgery," said Jiang's father.

  "Dad!"

  "I don't want to give you and Manman pressure. I don't even want to give Jiang Fei pressure, let alone put pressure on you two little ones. So, my question is not a problem. I took the initiative to talk to Ah Yan, just to avoid others speaking nonsense to you two before me, making you two worry and doing some excessive things towards you two. Just like that mysterious person has already framed Manman."

  Jiang's father said this, revealing the mastermind behind the scenes who had already roughly guessed what was going on.

  "Dad, I'll discuss this with big brother." Her eyebrows were raised high, her spirit was bursting forth, and her words were not lacking in calmness and grandeur.

  It's been a while since the young master has grown up to this point, and he won't be as reckless as before, getting angry and hitting people whenever he's unhappy. It seems that married men really do change a lot. Mr. Jiang smiled, but disagreed with his son taking action, insisting: "This matter should be handled by me, the head of the household. Although there is no evidence for now, and the other party will deny it, giving them a warning shot is necessary."

  It turned out that Jiang's father guessed it, and he, along with the two grandfathers, was the mastermind behind the medicine theft incident. The one who regarded Mengmeng, who might already be pregnant, as a thorn in her eye was none other than Jin Meichen, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family.

  In front of his father, he didn't dare to utter dirty words, but Comrade Jiang Yan was so angry in his heart that he wished this dog-raising woman who dared to bully his wife would never have children for the rest of her life!

  ……

  Unable to bring down Jin Meichen, anxious to clean up the aftermath, he first repeatedly persuaded Zhang Meimei to leave Beijing to avoid the storm, and then eliminated all possible evidence on his body.

  After Zhang Meimei boarded the plane leaving Beijing, Jin Meichen returned home in the afternoon and saw her husband and father-in-law, Jiang Bo, in the living room.

  It is said that in the Jiang family's large house, they were able to win over Madam Jiang's favor, but failed to gain Old Master Jiang's genuine delight. Old Master Jiang rarely came to their place and maintained a neutral attitude towards them, neither close nor distant, for reasons unknown.

  Jin Meichen was very depressed about this, she had no complaints against her father-in-law and mother-in-law. During the Chinese New Year, when giving gifts and money, she would pack the money for Jiang's father without missing a single cent, and give him bird's nest and ginseng, but Jiang's father wouldn't accept anything except the two big oranges she brought every year as tribute, and he would politely advise her not to waste money and learn how to manage the household.

  She gets angry every time she hears it. Right, she not only spends her own money but also her husband's. However, as the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, her husband is the breadwinner and she takes care of the household, so shouldn't she be spending his money?

  Not only that, just like last time, as soon as she heard that her father-in-law was ill, the first one to rush to the hospital to ask about the old man's condition wasn't her? As a result, she got a cold reception. Not only did she fail to get a word of praise, but she was also scolded by her father-in-law in front of Manman and Jiang Mei, losing all face.

  Jiang's father has come here, and he must have a good reason for doing so.

  The mood is not good at all, and even a little nervous. To know that Jiang's father experienced a storm on the scene last night, and there was another emotional crack with Jiang's mother.

  It is said that Jiang's mother was scolded by her husband at home and did not go out all day today, even asking for leave from the ladies' gathering.

  She raised her head and met the stern eyes of her father, her heart skipped a beat, and she forced a smile: "Dad, you're here. I'll go make you a cup of chrysanthemum tea to quench your thirst."

  Jiang Fei's eyes narrowed as he watched his daughter-in-law's evasive behavior, and the doubts that had been lingering in his mind since last night resurfaced. He furrowed his brow and asked his father, "Dad, how did you have time to come over?"

  "What? Is it strange for me to come to you?"

  When Jiang Fei heard his father's words, he secretly smiled in his heart. Like his wife, he was convinced that his father was biased and had always loved only his younger son, Jiang Yantong, but not him, the elder son.

  "Dad, didn't you just have lunch at Ah Yun's place this noon? So now you're coming to our place for dinner?" Jiang Fei's words were full of sarcasm.

  "I was thinking of coming here to eat, as long as Mei Chen's cooking is as delicious as Man Man's."

  Jiang's father didn't know that Jin Meichen was probing, and she rushed out of the kitchen: "Dad, where am I not as good as Manman? Why do you have to compare me with Manman?"

  "Vine Vine is not only better than you in cooking skills, but also does better than you in all aspects of being a person and handling things."

  Jiang Fei heard his father's words, and his brow furrowed again: normally, Father Jiang was very cautious with his words, even if he didn't like the eldest branch of the family, he would never openly criticize them by name.

  Jin Meichen slammed the door, put the water cup in front of her father Jiang, and pointed to the door: "Dad, if you like Manman so much, go to Ayan's house, what are you doing here?"

  "You really don't know why I'm here?" Jiang's father suddenly stood up, his majestic voice and face turned to his eldest daughter-in-law.

  Facing Jiang's father with a Bao Qingtian expression, Jin Meichen opened her uneasy eyes and unknowingly retreated, forcing a smile: "How do I know what Dad came here to do?"

  "Ah!" Jiang's father shouted, pointing at his son Jiang Fei: "Your wife did a good job, finding someone to impersonate Manman and go to the hospital for an abortion in her name."

  Jiang Fei was taken aback.

  Jin Meichen suddenly turned into a shrimp: How did you know? She clearly made seamless heavenly clothes!

  The daughter-in-law looked like she was about to confess at any moment, but Jiang Fei quickly came to his senses and turned to face his father: "Dad, you said Mei Chen did this? Is it Ah Yan's wife who said so? Do you have evidence?"

  There is no evidence, but seeing Jin Meichen like this, he already knows that he is not wrong. The most despicable thing is his own son, who at this time actually ambiguously covers up for his daughter-in-law.

  Jiang's father felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment, more towards his son than his daughter-in-law. No matter how his daughter-in-law was educated by her own family, his son was raised and taught by him in their own home.

  "Alright, I have no evidence. This matter wasn't told to me by Mengmeng, it's just my own guess." Jiang father slowly finished speaking, waiting for his son to make the final statement.

  Jiang Fei's thick eyebrows shot up, without hesitation: "Dad, how can you randomly accuse my wife of something without any evidence? I think it's impossible that Ah Yan and his wife didn't mislead you in this matter. You don't need to cover for Ah Yan and his wife."

  "I said it was just me who did it, you don't believe me and have to drag your brother and his wife into this?" Jiang's father scrutinized his eldest son's eyes with an even more intense gaze.

  "How can I believe it!" Jiang Fei's neck twisted to one side.

  The little son's concerns are true, and the gap between brothers has already emerged. Jiang Fei was completely blinded by his interests.

  "Jiang Fei, before your father leaves, I'll tell you one thing." Now that it's come to this, Jiang's father has his back turned, facing his eldest son and daughter-in-law. "If you're a soldier in vain and a descendant of the Jiang family in vain, and you do something stupid like your mother and your wife, don't blame your father. When the time comes, I'll put loyalty above family ties and get rid of both you and your wife."

  After saying that, Jiang's father turned and left, without wasting another word.

  As soon as Jiang's father left, Jiang Fei kicked the door shut with one foot, turned around and scolded Jin Meichen: "How do you do things! If you really want to bring her down, why don't you do it better? Why let people suspect you so quickly? Are you that stupid?"

  Jin Meichen's eyes turned red, she swept the cup on the table to the ground and angrily shouted at her husband: "Fine, your family is great! Whatever! I'm leaving, I'm going back to my parents' house. Don't come looking for me again, don't think my dad will help you."

  Rushed back to the room, casually grabbed a handbag and left.

  Out of the door and down the stairs, waited for a while, didn't see her husband coming after her, in a fit of anger, took a taxi and rushed to her mother's house.

  Jin's home

  Jin Mu finished dinner and enjoyed it with Jin Fu in the small dining hall.

  The couple ate and talked together.

  "Mei Chen has been unable to get pregnant, her mother-in-law is anxious, she herself is anxious, Jiang Fei is even more anxious, the pressure is huge." Jin Mu put two dishes into Jin Fu's bowl, with a worried and troubled face, "What do you think we should do about this?"

  "Didn't you go to the hospital? What did the doctor say?" Jin's father was somewhat dismissive, lowering his head to eat his rice. "Modern medicine is not like it was in our time. They say that if you can't have children, it's fate and there's nothing you can do about it. Can't they just do IVF or something?"

  "Alas..." Jin Mu sighed, "I've had check-ups in several hospitals and they all say there's nothing wrong with my body. It's strange, I don't know why I just can't get pregnant?"

  "As long as there's no problem with her body, that's all that matters. Don't worry, Mei Chen won't inherit any of our physical issues, she can give birth to a child without any problems just like her parents did." Jin father comforted his wife while picking up a piece of meat for her bowl.

  "But I have a feeling that it's somehow related to us, that she can't get pregnant. Is it because our family has done something wrong? It's all because of this that Mei Chen can't get pregnant." Jin Mu sighed.

  "Don't think wildly and don't speak recklessly, don't spread rumors casually. I see that Meizhen often comes home during this period, what if you accidentally say something and she hears it?" Jin Father reminded Jin Mother in a low and cautious tone.

  "By the way, have you heard about this? - Jin Mu suddenly remembered the news she had heard over the past few days and was eager to discuss it with Jin Fu. "My mom called me and said that two days ago, several people went to my old home in Shijiazhuang where my mom used to live, holding 10-yuan bills and asking around if anyone had bought a child? Apparently, these people seem to want to turn the entire city of Shijiazhuang upside down to find some clues. This scared my mom so much that she quickly called me. Because on that 10-yuan bill, there was a string of numbers written on it, which is the area code for Shijiazhuang. My eyelids keep twitching, could it be that you gave one of those old ladies one of the bills?"

  Jin's father was taken aback, and he too felt a bit tense: "Impossible? If Meichen's biological parents had changed their minds and wanted to take the child back, they would have called me long ago."

  "You followed the troops, I followed the army, your phone number has been changed long ago, can they find it?" Jin's mother said this, and she had no appetite to eat anymore, put down her chopsticks, and covered her chest.

  It can be said that the couple had actually reserved such an unrealistic number back then, and they had thought it through to prevent the child's parents from regretting and wanting the child back.

  "Man proposes, God disposes."

  "You'd better think of a way. Maybe they're now prosperous and regret it, so they want to come back for the child. My mother said those people seem to have some airs about them, not like ordinary people." Jin's mother pulled at Jin's father's sleeve, urging him on.

  "It doesn't matter. I believe that after a while, they will quietly disappear on their own." Jin's father thought for a moment and said calmly, "Think about it, if they really found this lead, would they still go door-to-door to look? Moreover, these people didn't get help from the government department, so they must be uneasy in their hearts and don't dare to come looking openly. They don't dare to ask for Meichen back. They have a guilty conscience. And we are really good to Meichen, by now she definitely thinks we are her real parents."

  As for Jin Meichen's upbringing from childhood to adulthood, Jin Mu and Jin Fu were the same, acknowledging that they had done their best. Because they themselves no longer had the opportunity to have children, they treated Jin Meichen as if she were their own flesh and blood. From a young age, everything given to Meichen was the best among her peers, and they took care of all matters related to her marriage.

  Jiang Fei, the son-in-law, is no problem and is completely under Jin's father's control. The trouble is with the other members of the Jiang family.

  "She's a turncoat, I didn't see that when we were discussing the marriage. I thought she was as easy-going as her son." Jin Mu started muttering about Jiang Mu, feeling a bit regretful for misjudging her.

  After knowing that Jiang's father was a tough bone, the policy of the Jin family was to win over Jiang's mother with all their might. They believed that with Jiang's mother's protection, Jin Meichen would not be bullied in her husband's home. For so many years, this had been correct. Jiang's mother, under pressure from the Jin family, had treated her eldest daughter-in-law with great care, not daring to say a word against her. However, after Jiang San, the third son of the Jiang family, married his young wife Weiwei, everything suddenly changed.

  What made Jin's father angry was: this little daughter-in-law, Manman, who claimed to be the daughter of a grocery store owner, had an unexpectedly good relationship with the Lu and Yao families.

  It's all thanks to Jiang Dazhuang that Yan Wei and Lu Jia have a good relationship, but Jin Mu doesn't believe it. Not to mention other things, he was the first to know about the incident at the art gallery. According to reliable sources, his former superior, Commander Lu, personally went to the scene of the crime to direct the suppression efforts.

  In such a complex context, it is easy to get rid of the weeds.

  At the door, ding dong, ding dong, the doorbell was pressed hard.

  Kim's father and Kim's mother both hastily shut their mouths.

  The only one who dares to press the doorbell of the Jin family is none other than their pampered adopted daughter, Jin Meichen.

  "Beautiful morning." Jin Mu walked over and opened the door.

  Jin Meichen stormed into the house, flung her bag onto the sofa and blurted out: "Dad, Mom, I want a divorce!"

  Divorce?

  Jīn fù jīn mǔ hù xiāng jǐn zhāng de jiāo yǎn shén.

  Translation:

  The golden father and mother exchanged tense glances with each other.

  Can this military marriage be divorced just by saying so?

  And even if Jin Meichen really made a big fuss about the divorce lawsuit, Jin's father, as an officer in the army, would still suffer serious damage to his reputation within the army.

  The daughter's spoiled nature can't be indulged to this extent.

  Hugging her daughter's shoulder, Jin Mu said softly: "Mei Chen, did Ah Fei annoy you again? Don't be nervous, let your dad scold him when he gets back."

  "It's not just him, his whole family looks down on me! Mom, you don't know, his dad came to our house today and scolded me severely!" As she spoke, Jin Meichen covered her face with both hands, looking like she was about to cry.

  Jin's father couldn't help but interrupt, knowing that Jiang's father was a straightforward person who wouldn't make things difficult for others without reason, and had allowed his daughter to marry him. He asked: "Did you do something wrong, so your father-in-law noticed?"

  "Father Jin's words hit the mark, but how could Jin Mei Chen easily admit her guilt? She pouted: "What could I have done wrong? Isn't it just like before, sending him delicious food and useful things, only to be despised by him for not being filial, saying I'm wasting their family's money? But I used my own salary this month to buy them, without spending a single cent of theirs! Dad, they always look at me with such biased eyes, I can't stand it anymore! If they don't come to apologize to me in person!"

  Both Father Jin and Mother Jin changed their expressions at the same time.

  Let Jiang's father come and apologize to his daughter?

  This——

  "Stop messing around! Go back to your own home right now!"

  "Dad, you don't care about me!" Jin Meichen jumped up and shouted at her father.
