Prank wedding pranks? Little fortune teller remarries military officer in a sweet romance.

The eldest aunt resented this: "It's really outrageous! Now that he's an official, even his own uncle is starting to look down on him. He even said that marriage between close relatives is illegal. I've never heard of such a thing before!"

After Qin Shixiao got into trouble in the army, his aunt-in-law certainly had her fill of making fun of him.

"They looked down on my Chunhong back then, and now look what's happened! She's dead without even an heir. Serves her right!"

Now that Qin Shixiao has been cleared of his crimes and is rumored to be getting a promotion, the Zhang family has once again come forward.

Having gone through so much, Qin's mother had long seen through the true colors of her family. She could cut off contact with her younger brother and sister-in-law, but she could not disown her own mother, Old Mrs. Zhang.

"Alright, Mom, this is the first time our third son's wife has come to our house. She's already been very thoughtful, bringing so many things. She didn't even know you were coming. How about this, if you don't mind..."

"Mom!" Qin Limin realized that her mother wanted to give the shirt that Ling Jiuyue had bought for her to the old lady.

"You gave me something from my third sister-in-law, and you just gave it to someone else without appreciating it at all. Is that appropriate?"

Qin's mother also realized, "That's right, Mother. How about this? When you turn eighty, I'll make you two more nice outfits. This one is a gift from my third son's wife, so I won't waste it!"

Grandma Zhang's chest heaved with anger: "Zhang Guiqin, I gave birth to you and raised you, and now that I'm old, is this how you treat your own mother?"

Your father passed away early, and I worked hard to raise you and your sisters, and sent you off to get married. Now that your husband is gone, besides me, your mother, who else will take care of you?

Now that your son is successful, this is how you treat your own mother, Zhang Guiqin! You have no conscience! Do you just want me to die?!

She cried and pounded her chest, her sobs drawn out, a mixture of crying and singing that sounded like a funeral dirge.

Zhang Chunying wiped away her tears: "Grandma, don't be sad. Your aunt doesn't care about you, but you still have your uncle and my dad. You can't rely on married-out daughters; you still have to rely on your sons. You didn't just realize that today!"

Qin Limin clicked her tongue: "Zhang Chunying, you seem to be a woman too. If you despise women so much, why don't you just hang yourself with a rope!"

"Sharp-tongued!" Old Mrs. Zhang stomped her cane and cursed, "Zhang Guiqin, just you wait and see, this wretched girl of yours will never be able to get married."

And that third son's wife you've got your eye on, she's alluring and seductive, clearly not a decent person. I'm telling you this, if the third son marries her, he'll drug her and cheat on you sooner or later!

Qin's mother's face darkened: "Mom, your legs aren't good, so please try not to walk so far to come here in the future. My children are so useless; I don't want to upset you!"

"You! You!" Old Mrs. Zhang pointed at her daughter. If it were before, she could have brought her two sons to beat them up.

But now, her grandsons are all grown up, and they won't listen to her at all. If a fight breaks out, Qin Shixiao is worth three of them, and the Zhang family is no match for him.

Qin Shixiao glanced coldly at Zhang Chunying: "Grandma, instead of wasting your time here cursing my mother and complaining about my boyfriend, you should go back and discipline your granddaughter. If the Wang family finds out what she's done, I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Chunying inexplicably felt a chill.

"Shixiao, what do you mean by that?"

Ling Jiuyue stood beside Qin Shixiao and laughed, "It's nothing much, I just heard that someone named Wang Jianghai seems to have gotten into some trouble recently!"

Zhang Chunying's expression changed drastically: "Shixiao, Brother Wang is your old comrade-in-arms, what happened to him?"

Qin Shixiao looked at his cousin: "You care about him a lot?"

Zhang Chunying stammered, "I...I was just thinking that you two...you two have a good relationship..."

When Qin's mother thought of this niece, who had secretly instigated Cai Lanfang to harm her son, and who might even be in cahoots with the murderer, even the usually mild-mannered Qin couldn't help but turn cold.

"Chunying, you're not young anymore. Your grandmother just said that a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. You're a married woman, yet you're always meddling in your parents' and aunt's family's affairs. Aren't you being a bit too idle?"

"You!" Old Mrs. Zhang doted on her granddaughter Zhang Chunying the most. When she heard her eldest daughter say such things about her granddaughter, she banged her cane loudly.

"Fine, if you don't like me, then don't like me. You even have to use the child's name to talk about me. Do you think I can't tell? I won't come anymore. I won't come anymore. You can beg me, but I still won't come to your house. Your family is so great, a military family. I, an old woman, am not worthy to come here."

I've raised you like a waste of money. Raising a dog would be more cost-effective than raising you. You're so unfilial! How could I have given birth to such an unfilial daughter...

Old Mrs. Zhang walked along the path in Qin Family Village, crying all the way to the town, telling everyone she met how disobedient and unfilial her daughter, Zhang Guiqin, was.

The eldest brother, Qin Shihe, hesitated, "Mom, she's made such a scene, won't people talk about us later...?"

Qin Limin disliked her eldest brother's overly mild nature: "What's there to be afraid of? It goes without saying that you're good to her, but when Third Brother got into trouble, she told everyone she met that Third Brother would definitely be sentenced to death, and that my mother would have to bury her son. Is that something a mother would say?"

"That's right!" Qin Shixiao supported his mother. "Mom, don't be afraid. People can say whatever they want. As long as we live our lives well, that's more important than anything else!"

Second sister-in-law chimed in, "Third brother's words make sense. It's not like you can win over the Zhang family just by being nice to them. Even if you give them your whole heart, they'll still complain that you didn't clean things up properly. No matter how much you try to please them, it's useless. It's better to just cut ties!"

"Sigh!" Qin's mother sighed, taking Ling Jiuyue's hand. "My daughter, I'm so sorry you had to see this!"

At her age, she's not afraid of anything except her younger siblings who aren't married yet. She worries that people might gossip and ruin the Qin family's reputation, which would be detrimental to her children's future relationships.

Ling Jiuyue comforted her, "It's alright, every family has a few difficult relatives!"

"Wow!" She was truly exceptional; Aunt Qin grinned as she approached.

"Third brother, you brought your new wife home without even telling us? We're all family. If people find out, they'll say we, as her uncle and aunt, don't welcome her, right?"

Qin Limin felt annoyed whenever she saw her second aunt. Just as she was about to argue back, her sister-in-law pulled her into the kitchen.

"Come on, Xiaomin, help me start the fire. I'll cook some sweet egg soup for your third sister-in-law!"

This sister-in-law has a sharp tongue; she shouldn't make things too ugly, or people will gossip about it when she tries to find a husband.

Qin's mother disliked both her brother's wife and her husband's sister-in-law.

She said calmly, "I just stopped by to say hello and see me. I'll be leaving in a bit, so don't bother you and the second brother. I'm busy these days, so you two go ahead and do your thing, don't worry about us!"

My second aunt stepped forward and picked up a pair of sneakers: "Hey, these shoes are really nice. Perfect timing, my second son said his school is having a sports meet soon and he asked me to buy him sneakers. Since we have them here, I don't need to go shopping. Thanks a lot, sister-in-law!"
