Why did you provoke me?

Jiang Mingfeng reached out to take the bracelet, but Dali dodged him.

"You were just complaining about it, weren't you? How come you know it's good now?" Dali's tone was rude.

Jiang Mingfeng wasn't angry; he just grinned and reached for it again. "I was so blind! You didn't tell me it was something good."

"So, if what I give you isn't something good, you won't want it?" Dali stared at him blankly.

"If one day I stop giving you good things, or if I can't find good things anymore, will you abandon me?" Dali felt a pang of sadness.

Back when she was making these bracelets, she said she wanted to give them to her fiancé, but the younger sister shook her head.

Looking at Dali's expression, Jiang Mingfeng suddenly realized he had said the wrong thing. "No, don't overthink it, that's not what I meant."

"I've been out for a long time this time, so I'm going back now." Dali put the bracelet into her pocket and turned to leave.

"Dali, I really didn't mean that," Jiang Mingfeng said anxiously, grabbing Dali's arm.

"I haven't finished making this bracelet yet, I'll give it to you later," Dali said as she pulled her hand back.

Jiang Mingfeng looked at Dali and knew that the girl was angry.

Dali returned home, took out the bracelet, placed it on the table, and sat there staring at it blankly.

Yu Meng walked to her side, tilting her head to look at her sister. For a long time, Da Li didn't notice.

Yu Meng tugged at her sister's sleeve. Da Li turned around, saw her little sister, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.

Yu Meng stood there, wiping away Dali's tears with her small hands.

"It's all my fault for not listening to me, older sister." Yu Meng nodded with a smile.

Dali watched her little sister nod, and she felt like crying and laughing at the same time.

"From now on, I'll definitely listen to you, little sister. This was made with great care by me, so how about I give it to you?" Dali picked up the bracelet and handed it to Yu Meng.

Yu Meng smiled and accepted it. It was quite valuable. Although she didn't lack these things and knew that the other person had rejected it, she didn't care.

Seeing her greedy look, Dali told her about her situation.

"I handed him the bracelet, and he actually pouted and looked disgusted. That's how I showed him its value. He actually asked me, 'Why didn't I tell him about such a good thing sooner?'" Dali silently shed tears.

"He rejected my sincere feelings, so why should I give them to him? I took them back and gave them to my younger sister, which I was willing to do. And my younger sister knew that these were things I hadn't given away, but she didn't mind. It seems my younger sister is the best."

Yu Meng nodded and patted her small chest. "Yes, yes, your little sister is the best."

Jiang Mingfeng was listless for several days. He came to see Dali several times, but Dali did not see him, only saying that she was busy.

When he came again, he bought a lot of things, but they were all for Yu Meng.

He squatted down in front of Yu Meng. "Little sister, can you put in a good word for me? I made your sister angry. Please put in a good word for me. I bought all these things. I'll buy you more every time I come here."

Yu Meng nodded expressionlessly, then told him to take the things inside.

Then I led him to a corner of the yard and pointed to the wood on the ground.

Jiang Mingfeng immediately understood that this was a way of getting him to do the work.

He wasn't angry. He readily took off his coat, found the axe, and started working.

Yu Meng curled her lip behind him. Serves you right for putting on airs in front of your older sister.

When Yu Hai returned at noon, he saw his soon-to-be brother-in-law working there, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Here, the son-in-law is treated like a pampered guest; how could they expect him to do any work?

He glanced at the younger girl standing behind him, his eyes asking, "How did you do that?"

Yu Meng was happy to see her brother return and took his hand, leading him into the kitchen. Yu Hai knew she was going to have him cook.

Yu Hai smiled and lit the fire, then poured the rice into the pot.

Although Yu Meng thought her brother-in-law was a bit stupid, she still had to eat lunch.

When Dali returned from outside, she was a little surprised to see Jiang Mingfeng chopping firewood in the yard.

This was hardly something the mayor's son would do. But she didn't stop him and went straight to the kitchen.

Yu Hai and Yu Meng were overjoyed to see Dali return and circled around her.

Yu Meng even went into the yard, scooped out the biggest fish from the tank, and had her sister cook it for lunch.

Dali glanced at the people in the yard, then looked at her younger sister.

Yu Meng smiled and nodded. That's enough for now. You two can just get along normally from now on.

Dali smiled. She hadn't been feeling well these past few days either. But her younger sister told her to bear it, saying that whoever bowed their head first this time would always be the first to bow their head in the future.

Jiang Mingfeng was a capable worker; he chopped all the wood on the ground neatly and then stacked it up.

After finishing his work, he went inside and gave Dali a flattering smile.

Dali rolled her eyes. "Go wash your hands and come inside to eat."

Jiang Mingfeng's smile immediately brightened. "Okay!"

He entered the house and saw a large bowl of fish on the table. He looked at Dali and pointed at it. "Why did you cook it? Didn't you wait for your parents to come back?"

Yu Hai spoke up at the opportune moment. "Brother-in-law, you've helped us with all the work, what's wrong with having a fish?"

Yu Meng simply nodded in agreement. Fish weren't exactly precious items at home.

Jiang Mingfeng was deeply moved. He had only done that little bit of work. This family was actually treating him to fish; they really valued him highly.

At the dinner table, Dali and Yu Hai helped Yu Meng pick out the fish bones.

Jiang Mingfeng saw all this but didn't say anything. He gained a new understanding of how this family doted on their little sister.

After dinner, Jiang Mingfeng was about to return to town. At the gate, he looked at Dali. "I didn't think before I spoke that day, so please don't be angry. I've been feeling down these past few days because you haven't been talking to me."

Dali glanced at him. "From now on, I'll accept anything you give me, good or bad. I won't be like you, only wanting the good stuff."

"Okay, it's a deal then. From now on, you have to accept everything I give you." Jiang Mingfeng was very happy.

As the mayor's son, he knew a lot. He also knew what Dali's potential would bring to his family, and Dali was truly beautiful, and he genuinely liked her.

Most importantly, he likes her. These past few days, Dali hasn't been paying much attention to him, and he's been feeling restless. Now that they've finally reconciled, he's overjoyed.

Dali looked at him with disdain and scoffed inwardly. If there's a next time, she'll have her little sister teach him a lesson.
