"Mom, Second Sister-in-law, come to my house for a while, have lunch before you go back," Jiang Linwan said.

Just as Jiang's mother nodded and was about to agree, the family member who had been saved by Jiang Linwan earlier due to pulmonary edema ran towards Jiang Linwan with a woman looking excited.

"Dr. Jiang, Dr. Jiang..." The old lady walked over and said with a smile to the person next to her, "Young lady, this is Dr. Jiang from Big Fish Island. His medical skills are excellent."

"She can definitely cure your sister-in-law's illness."

The old woman hesitated for a moment: "Really? My sister-in-law has had this illness for seven or eight years. She has seen many doctors, and they all said it was useless. Maybe we should just give up."

To avoid being disappointed after having hope.

My sister-in-law will probably be upset too.

"Forget it, don't let Dr. Jiang's young age fool you, she's a very skilled doctor, she even works at the military hospital..." the old lady said excitedly.

The woman next to her seemed to be looking forward to what she said, and asked Jiang Linwan's big belly, "Dr. Jiang, would it be convenient for you to come with me to Xiaoyu Island now?"

We're from the neighboring island; it takes half an hour by boat to get there.

"My sister-in-law has been bedridden for many years, she can't come," the old woman said, then added apologetically.

Jiang Linwan: "Which village are you from? I'll come over after I have lunch."

Upon hearing this, the old woman smiled and nodded, then told her the location of her village.

The elderly woman next to him smiled and said, "It's alright, I'll bring Dr. Jiang with me."

Jiang Linwan returned to the family compound with her mother and sister-in-law.

Seeing that there were many people at noon, Aunt Liu went out and bought some meat again.

During lunch, Jiang's mother thought of Tian Zhaodi and looked at her son, asking, "What do you and Zhaodi think about each other?"

Since you're willing, your dad and I will go to their house to propose marriage in a few days.

"We can't let Zhao Di follow you around without any official status or recognition; it's bad for her reputation."

Jiang Linwan picked at her food, then looked up at her older brother and asked, "Big brother, do you like Zhao Di?"

Jiang Mingchuan blushed slightly.

Jiang Linwan felt that her honest older brother would definitely not be able to say he liked her directly.

She changed her question, asking, "If Zhao Di got married, but not to you, wouldn't you be upset?"

Jiang Mingchuan gripped his chopsticks tighter, remaining silent.

Jiang Linwan continued, "What if Zhao Di's husband treats her badly and bullies her every day? Wouldn't you feel bad?"

Jiang Mingchuan was instantly enraged when he heard that Zhao Di would be beaten up for getting married: "He wouldn't dare! Zhao Di is such a good girl, it's one thing if he doesn't cherish her, but if he dares to beat her up, I won't let that guy get away with it."

Jiang's mother, Jiang's second sister-in-law, and Jiang Linwan exchanged glances, and they all understood what was going on.

"Since you like Zhao Di, your father and I will choose a date to propose marriage."

Jiang Mingchuan stubbornly insisted, "I...I don't like her."

"Big brother, if Liu Hongying gets beaten up by other men, will you help her?" Jiang Linwan asked.

Jiang Mingchuan looked disgusted. Who would bully that woman? She's as cunning as a die. He doesn't care about her.

"Look at you, so nervous about Zhao Di, and you still say you don't like her." Jiang Linwan genuinely disliked her older brother, who was such a quiet, reserved person.

Jiang Mingchuan: "But I'm old, and I'm a divorcee..."

"Age isn't a problem, as long as the two people are in love. Besides, you can just treat the girl better," Jiang Ersao advised, though she felt a little awkward inside.

If this really happens, she's so much older than Zhao Di, how can she call her "young lady"? Should she call her "sister-in-law"? It's too awkward. If she doesn't, wouldn't that be disrespectful?

"I will definitely treat him well!" Jiang Mingchuan assured him.

Aunt Liu added, "Then you'd better hurry up. I've been there to go beachcombing. I heard that the Tian family parents favored sons over daughters and wanted to marry her off to a cripple for a dowry."

That cripple wasn't young either, he was over thirty. I heard his wife had died before, and he beat her to death.

Jiang Mingchuan had only heard her say that she helped block her family members, otherwise she would be married off to a cripple in exchange for a dowry, but he didn't know that the cripple would beat his wife.

He instantly lost his composure and anxiously looked at Jiang's mother: "Mom, why don't you go to the Tian family to propose marriage in the next couple of days!"

Jiang's mother immediately laughed: "Didn't you just say you didn't like him? Now you're in such a hurry to propose marriage."

"Mom!" Jiang Mingchuan called out shyly.

Jiang's mother: "I understand, I'll go tomorrow."

Jiang Linwan smiled and said, "Looks like there's good news in the family. I'm about to have a sister-in-law."

Thinking of Xiuwan, she couldn't help but ask, "Will Xiuwan agree?"

"Of course it is! It's just that Xiuwan and Zhaodi have been getting along well lately, which is why Mom dares to bring this up," Jiang Ersao said with a smile.

Jiang Linwan breathed a sigh of relief.

After having a meal at her place, Jiang's mother hurriedly took Jiang's second sister-in-law and her husband back home. The marriage proposal was scheduled for tomorrow, so they needed to hurry back and prepare some things.

Jiang Mingchuan's heart pounded with excitement at the thought of marrying Tian Zhaodi, unlike when he first married Liu Hongying, when he felt nothing at all.

All I know is that he's getting married.

"Look at how happy Big Brother is, the smile on his face hasn't left his lips since he heard he's going to marry Zhao Di," Jiang Ersao teased.

Jiang Mingchuan immediately put on a stern face: "No way."

The three men turned and left, while two men carrying a cart passed by them from behind.

Tian Zhaodi was lying on the cart, her head covered by a quilt. When she heard Jiang Ersao and Jiang Mingchuan's words, she struggled anxiously to call out to them.

But her mouth was tightly gagged, and no matter how hard she tried to scream, she could only make muffled sounds.

As the voices faded away, tears streamed down her face.

Seeing that there was no one on the road, Tian's mother secretly glanced at her daughter and saw the tears in the corners of her eyes. She felt sad and said, "Zhaodi, we have no sons in our family."

From now on, your cousin will have to support your family so that others won't dare to bully you.

Although the man was a bit older, his family was quite well-off.

Your life will definitely be better after you marry him.

Tian Zhaodi stared at her mother with bloodshot eyes. This was her mother, who was willing to do anything for her nephew who wasn't her own.

If they sell their daughter now, what will they sell in the future? Tian Maosheng's family are the kind of people who turn their backs on you when they're broke. If you're hoping they'll support her and her sisters, you'll be lucky if they don't bully them.

"Zhaodi, what's wrong? Don't do anything rash!" Tian's mother called out anxiously when she saw her daughter's face suddenly turn red, and then removed the rag from her mouth.

"Mom, Mingchuan said he'll come to our house to propose marriage tomorrow. He'll marry me. His family is rich and will give you a bigger dowry. Please let me go back."

"Zhaodi, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're just a country bumpkin. What kind of family is the Jiang family? A top doctor from the capital wouldn't even look at you."

"I think she's just playing around with you, and then she'll go back to the city and abandon you." Aunt Tian said disdainfully, and immediately gagged Zhao Di again.

Mother Tian hesitated, however: "The Jiang family are all good people, they wouldn't be irresponsible."

"Second sister-in-law, are you stupid? If Zhao Di really marries into the Jiang family, she'll be so far away from us when she returns to the city."

Will this even help you and your second brother? You've probably wasted your life having this daughter; you'll never see her again.
