The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

Ling's mother warmly welcomed Jiang Yuyan and her family.

She became very close friends with Madam You, while Ling's father also got along well with Old Master Qi and the three Jiang brothers.

Jiang Yuyan glanced at Madam You's side, then at Old Master Qi's side, but there was nothing for her to do.

Finally, she glanced at the cool and stylish female soldier who had been staring at her ever since she entered the room.

Jiang Yuyan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Uh, is there something wrong with my face that you're looking at me like that, comrade?"

She asked in a very soft voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the living room turned to look at her, which startled her so much that she shrank back.

Is she wondering if she said something wrong?

At this moment, the cool and sassy young lady laughed, a very cheerful and slightly silly laugh, which was quite different from her cool and sassy appearance.

"Hahaha--"

"Oh my god, now I finally understand why my blockhead brother was able to marry you. It turns out that besides his luck, you also have really bad taste, hahaha—"

Ling's mother slapped her on the forehead and warned her through gritted teeth.

"How dare you speak like that? This is your sister-in-law. Don't be disrespectful and talk nonsense."

What if she scares away the daughter-in-law who finally comes along and has poor eyesight? She'll have to keep a close eye on her.

This girl is always dragging them down, humph!

Ling Wenyan covered his head, speechless.

"Mom, this is my head, not a winter melon. Please go easy on me next time, okay? Otherwise, you'll beat my head until it's cooked."

"Hey kid, what nonsense are you spouting? If you can't speak properly, then shut up, or you'll force me to slap you on such a happy day."

"Pfft!"

Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Who knew this cool and sassy girl was actually such a goofball!

The way she said it made people want to laugh.

Ling Wenchen is clearly cold and aloof, but his sister is both funny and outgoing; she's practically a second Ling's mother.

Is it really true that one looks like the father and the other like the mother?

Jiang Yuyan and Ling Wenyan chatted for a long time, and the more they talked, the more she felt that Ling Wenyan was a joy to be around. No matter what she said, as long as she opened her mouth, it was always accompanied by laughter.

We chatted for a while.

Ling's mother cooked, with Teacher You's wife helping, and Jiang Yuyan and the others assisting.

Apart from Ling's father, who was chatting with Master Qi and didn't do any work, everyone else helped out to varying degrees.

The meal was plentiful and enjoyable.

After dinner, Ling's parents, taking advantage of the atmosphere, discussed the wedding arrangements for their two children with Master Qi and the others.

Although Jiang Yuyan said she didn't need to have a wedding, not only would it be too tiring with too many people, but she also really didn't want to go through too much trouble.

However, Ling's parents wanted to follow all the proper procedures for her.

Ling's mother held Jiang Yuyan's hand and advised her,

"A woman only gets married once in her life. Although it may not be too complicated, she hopes that she can have what others have, so that she won't have any regrets later."

Jiang Yuyan chuckled.

"Auntie, regarding relatives, I'd like to invite my parents over for a meal with everyone. Is that alright?"

Anything more would be too much trouble and exhausting for her.

"Oh, why not? This is perfect! We only invite our own people here, so we can all have a meal together."

Ling's mother knew that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, and that no one should be allowed to tire her out.

"You don't need to worry about anything else. I guarantee I'll handle everything perfectly. Besides your in-laws, is anyone else coming? I'll prepare extras for you."

Jiang Yuyan shook her head, "No, that's all. You can decide the rest, Auntie."

Besides her biological parents, she only has her master and mistress on her side. She does want to invite Brother Lin to her wedding banquet.

However, I heard that he went on a secret mission and it will be difficult for him to come back in the next few years, so we can only wait for him to return.

Ling's mother and the others chatted with Master Qi and Madam You for a long time.

Finally, it was agreed that...

The bride price is 1,000 yuan, plus the "three turns and one sound" (a sewing machine, a bicycle watch, and a radio). Jiang Yuyan must have all the necessary items; this is to show respect and save face for the woman.

Besides these, there are also thirty-six legs, and a house—

"Um, by the way, regarding the new house, Yu Yan, do you plan to live with Wen Chen in Beijing long-term, or will you move in with him to the military base?"

"Mother Ling asked."

In Beijing, their family owns a house in the family compound and other places.

If Jiang Yuyan doesn't like living with these people, they can prepare a house as their marital home. It would be convenient for them to live there in the future, as it's close to the family compound.

The Ling family is very open-minded in these respects.

They also understand that some young people genuinely don't like living with their families, and they respect their children's opinions.

Jiang Yuyan was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening.

"Well, I still prefer living with my parents. After all, we're family, so what's there to like or dislike?"

She wasn't lying, nor was she being polite.

She liked the atmosphere in the Ling family home; it wasn't the insincere politeness she had encountered before, nor was it the cold indifference of everyone going their own way.

The family chatted and laughed, and some even bickered, but it didn't make anyone feel sad or angry; instead, it made you want to laugh along with them.

In this kind of family atmosphere, she felt like she was several years younger, so what was there to complain about?

Ling's mother couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, and her affection for her daughter-in-law grew even stronger. Ling's father was number one, and her daughter-in-law was definitely number two. Even her own son and daughter had to take a backseat.

After they had almost reached an agreement, Jiang Muxuan and his two younger brothers exchanged glances and suddenly spoke up.

"My three brothers will contribute 1,000 yuan to my younger sister's dowry. This is the foundation that my parents and I hope to leave for her."

They also hoped that this would let the Ling family know that their little sister wasn't just relying on Master Qi, but also on her brothers as her support.

Ling's parents were taken aback and subconsciously looked at Old Master Qi and Madam You.

Judging from their calm expressions, you could tell that the three Jiang brothers weren't exaggerating, but genuinely could afford to give their younger sister a thousand yuan as a dowry.

By the time Jiang Yuyan and her family came out, it was almost 4:30 in the afternoon.

Back home,

Old Master Qi and Madam You had already gone to wash up and prepare for bed, while the four Jiang siblings planned to sit in the courtyard, drink tea, and chat.

Jiang Yuyan spoke first, muttering something.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, when did you decide to give a dowry of one thousand yuan? You didn't even tell me."

Jiang Muyi ignored her.

"I'd like to tell you, but who's that little pig who sleeps like a log every night, and who won't wake up no matter how much I call them?"

Jiang Yuyan: "..."

Knowing he was in the wrong, he quickly tried to appease his three older brothers with a smile.

"So how did you decide to give a thousand? That's a lot of money; you could buy a great house here. Of course, that's when you can afford to buy one."

Jiang Muxuan seemed to have guessed that she would say that.

Take out the account book and tell her...

"That thousand dollars is actually a share of your profits. Didn't you previously run a tailor shop with your second and third brothers?"
