A woman in her 1970s remarried a tycoon with no heir, and gave birth to triplets, stunning the famil

"Thank you, Aunt Wanwan." Sun Miaomiao glanced at her mother, and seeing that she wasn't angry, she smiled and grabbed a handful of White Rabbit milk candies, not forgetting to give one to Jiang Linwan: "Auntie, have one too."

"Miaomiao is such a good girl," Jiang Linwan said with a smile, her eyes full of love for the child.

She never had a child in her past life, and she was envious of others who were surrounded by children.

If they can't cure Qiyue in this lifetime, and Qiyue still wants a child, then they will adopt one.

"Hurry up, or we'll miss the boat." Liu Guiying, carrying a basket on her back and holding her daughter, said to Jiang Linwan.

There are scheduled ferries from the island to the town; if you miss one, you'll have to wait a long time for the next one.

The two hurried and rushed, just managing to catch the last one. As soon as they boarded the boat, it sailed away.

"Do you need seasickness medicine?" Jiang Linwan took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Liu Guiying.

Liu Guiying smiled, took one, and gave it to her daughter: "This girl is so fussy, we don't know why she gets seasick."

She was just joking casually, when a woman next to her poked the girl's head with a look of disdain: "She's just so pretentious, all talk and no action, even though she doesn't have the life of a young lady."

Liu Guiying smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more.

The older woman, however, looked at the motion sickness pills in Jiang Linwan's hand with a fawning expression: "Sister, could you give my daughter one of these pills?"

Jiang Linwan simply took a pill and handed it to the girl.

The girl took the medicine and smiled gratefully at Jiang Linwan, then stared at her profile for a moment, momentarily lost in thought.

If there are no waves on the island, it's quite comfortable to stay there and enjoy the breeze. Jiang Linwan stood on the boat and admired the scenery along the way.

As soon as they got off the boat, Liu Guiying grabbed Jiang Linwan and her daughter and headed straight to the busiest market in town.

The livestock station also has poultry, but the prices are a bit higher than at this market.

These days, private buying and selling is prohibited, but exchanging goods is allowed. Liu Guiying brought a lot of seafood with her on this trip.

Jiang Linwan took five half-grown hens and two half-grown roosters, without spending a single penny.

It was all thanks to the seafood that Liu Guiying carried in her basket.

In addition, Jiang Linwan replaced several geese.

She had plenty of other daily necessities in her space, and she stayed with Liu Guiying the whole time after buying them.

They wandered around until 12:30 pm, when Jiang Linwan took Liu Guiying to the state-run restaurant in town.

Liu Guiying went in, looked at the menu, ordered only a bowl of vegetarian noodles, and then handed the menu to Jiang Linwan.

Jiang Linwan was slightly surprised to see that she had only ordered a bowl of noodles. One bowl of noodles was hardly enough for two people. Logically speaking, Guiying's husband was a battalion commander and deputy regimental commander, and his salary was not low.

Guiying's family only has one child; they shouldn't be living in such poverty.

"Comrade, please give me one of your signature dishes, braised ribbonfish, two ounces of white rice, one serving of braised pork ribs, and one serving of braised fish with rice."

"You can't possibly finish all this. One dish is enough," Liu Guiying whispered a reminder.

Jiang Linwan smiled and said, "But we still have you and Miaomiao."

"We can just have a bowl of noodles. The dishes at this restaurant are so expensive. We could buy some meat and eat it for two meals if we bought it ourselves," Liu Guiying said, looking pained.

"You work so hard to earn money, shouldn't you enjoy it a little?" Jiang Linwan said, somewhat puzzled.

Liu Guiying's expression immediately cooled down. It's true that you should enjoy the money you've earned, but half of the money her husband worked so hard to earn went back to the old house.

She wanted to enjoy herself, but her wallet wouldn't allow it.

Just then, someone at the window called out that the noodles were ready. Liu Guiying got up to get the noodles, and when she came back, she saw her daughter staring longingly at the table next to her. The girl was about the same age as her daughter, wearing a bright dress and shiny leather shoes.

Several plates of meat and vegetables were laid out in front of her, and she was eating with a happy expression. Her heart suddenly ached. She put down her noodles, looked at her daughter, and said generously, "Daughter, what else do you want to eat? We've come all this way to town."

"Eat as much as you want, order whatever you like." She handed the menu directly to her daughter.

Sun Miaomiao shrank back in fright, her eyes red as she looked at her mother: "Mom, didn't you say that our family doesn't have much money and that we have to be careful with our money?"

Seeing her daughter's sensible appearance, Liu Guiying felt even more distressed: "Your Aunt Lin Wan is right, you should enjoy the money you've earned."

Why should all the money your dad worked so hard to earn go to those people back home? You should think twice; if you don't spend this money, it's just letting others benefit.

And he's the one who harmed his own child.

Liu Guiying had figured it out. She used to be able to endure hardship with a man, but things were different now. She had a daughter, so why should her child suffer with her?

Even if her mother-in-law raised her husband with great difficulty, she didn't only give birth to her husband as a son. Why should her family have to hand over half of their salary every month?

Sun Miaomiao still didn't dare to order, so Liu Guiying steeled herself and ordered two more meat dishes.

Jiang Linwan got up to use the restroom after finishing her meal and took the bill directly from there.

When Liu Guiying went to pay the bill, the waiter told her directly that the bill had already been paid, which made her panic instantly.

She and her daughter ate the most, so how could Lin Wan pay for everything?

Liu Guiying immediately ran to find Jiang Linwan, took out a few yuan and stuffed it into Jiang Linwan's arms.

Jiang Linwan looked at the money in her arms and stuffed it directly into Miao Miao's pocket. She looked at Liu Guiying with an angry expression and said, "Sister Guiying, you don't treat me like one of your own."

When I bought the chicken and goose just now, I treated Sister Guiying like one of my own.

"I didn't even give you the money to buy chickens and geese. If you insist on arguing with me about these things, I don't want any of them anymore. And if I ever run into any problems in the future, I won't bother Sister Guiying."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guiying paused slightly, her hand, which was about to stuff money into Jiang Linwan's lap. She could tell that Jiang Linwan was taking care of her, and smiled, "Okay, thank you for treating us to dinner, sister."

I'll treat you to dinner again next time.

Jiang Linwan smiled as she looked at Liu Guiying. The two of them carried large and small bags and walked towards the shore. As soon as they boarded the boat, Jiang Linwan saw two familiar figures. She quickly looked at Liu Guiying and said, "Sister Guiying, could you watch my things for me?"

I just remembered I still have some things to buy, I'll be right back.

Before Liu Guiying could speak, she hurriedly ran off the boat.

Following the direction in which the two figures disappeared, they indeed found Chen Hongying at a fork in the road.

She was also holding her niece Jiang Xiuwan's hand, and Jiang Linwan frowned slightly.

Her sister-in-law was extremely sexist and never gave Xiuwan a kind look at home. If it weren't for her grandfather keeping her in check, Jiang Xiuwan would have been given away to her sister by Chen Hongying long ago.

Now that Chen Hongying has brought Jiang Xiuwan to town, Jiang Linwan doesn't think Chen Hongying is taking Xiuwan shopping.

Moreover, it twisted and turned and went into the alley. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickened her pace.
