My dad's marriage into my family made me rich, and my fierce yet adorable older sister spoils m

"What kind of 'comrade' are you? We've already got our marriage certificate, why are you being so formal!"

At this moment, Guan Hongying came out of the kitchen carrying a large bowl of steaming cornbread and leftover wild boar stew with vermicelli from last night.

Upon hearing this, she blushed slightly and glared at Lin Hai.

That glance was incredibly alluring, making Lin Hai's heart skip a beat again.

After breakfast, the roar of a tractor could already be heard from the direction of the village entrance.

"They're here, they're here."

Guan Liuya and Xiao Qiya excitedly ran to the courtyard gate and looked into the distance, shouting, "The tractor hauling red bricks is here!"

In those days when even mud-brick houses leaked air, if someone could bring back a truckload of red bricks and build a big tiled house, it would be even more impressive than buying a Mercedes-Benz in later generations!

Upon hearing the sound, most of the villagers were drawn to the commotion, and several people followed behind the tractor to watch the excitement, their eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Guan Hongying led her entire family, beaming with joy, to the crossroads halfway up the mountain to greet them.

Although the Guan family lived halfway up the mountain, Guan Hongying had made the road very convenient, so many people from below would take this road to go up the mountain. It was wide and easy to walk on.

Therefore, the tractor came up very quickly.

However, just as the tractor was about to arrive at the gate of the Guan family compound, a figure suddenly appeared.

Suddenly, a woman wearing a floral shirt and holding a floral handkerchief in her hand spread her arms wide and stood firmly in front of the tractor.

Creak—

The tractor driver was startled and slammed on the brakes. The front of the tractor was less than half a meter away from the woman.

"Miao Meili! Are you crazy?! Are you out of your mind?!" The driver, covered in cold sweat, stuck his head out and cursed loudly.

The woman blocking the car was Miao Meili, a substitute teacher at the community primary school.

She was in her early thirties, a widow, and considered herself to have received a few years of education. She always carried herself with an air of superiority as a "cultured person" and looked down on the villagers who were just ordinary peasants.

However, in reality, ever since Lin Hai was sent down to the village, Miao Meili took a liking to this down-on-his-luck but refined university professor at first sight.

She had her own agenda all along, and after observing Lin Hai's wife, Ge Fengyan, for some time, she had already noticed something was wrong with her.

So she was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Lin Hai to suffer a blow and be unable to endure the hardship in the pigsty, on the verge of starvation.

At that time, she could appear in Lin Hai's world as a savior. As long as she gave Lin Hai a few sweet potatoes, she could naturally make this professor grateful to her and devoted to her.

Even though Lin Hai has a child, they are struggling to even get food at this time. If she could just deliver things to them a few more times, they would naturally be moved to tears of gratitude.

But who could have imagined that Guan Hongying would suddenly appear out of nowhere!

Miao Meili could never have imagined that on the very day Lin Hai divorced his ex-wife, his own son would send him to Guan Hongying's bed.

Now, Guan Hongying not only snatched the man away, but also quickly got a marriage certificate. Today, she even wants to haul red bricks to build a new house for Lin Hai.

After learning all this, Miao Meili's eyes turned red with jealousy, and she couldn't sleep all night.

I dressed up specially today, and then I came to intercept you and trip you up.

"Cousin Tiezhu, you can't take this truckload of red bricks to the Guan family's house!"

Miao Meili shouted at the driver, then turned around, clutching the flowered handkerchief, feigning heartbreak, and then looked up at Lin Hai with tender affection.

"Professor Lin, I know you've been wronged!"

Miao Meili's eyes were slightly red, and she called out in a sweet, delicate voice, "You are a distinguished university professor from Beijing, a great intellectual! You are the bright moon in the sky!"

As she spoke, Miao Meili's face grew even more indignant.

"Who is Guan Hongying?! She's just a vulgar village woman who slaughters pigs, illiterate. What does she know about classical poetry, prose, or Xu Zhimo?! She's not worthy of you at all!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers watching the commotion gasped and began to whisper among themselves.

They never expected that, after coming along with the excitement of building houses, there would be even more excitement to watch right at their doorstep!

Guan Hongying's face immediately darkened, and her hands instinctively reached for the butcher knife at her waist.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan quickly stepped forward and held his mother's hand.

He whispered, "Mother, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Let's deal with this green tea bitch, watch my father!"

Seeing that Guan Hongying didn't react, Miao Meili thought she was in the right and became even more aggressive.

She took two steps forward, her eyes brimming with affection, almost to the point of tears.

She even had an "I understand" look on her face.

"Professor Lin, were you forced by her? Did she threaten you with force and food to force you to marry into her family? Don't be afraid! As long as you nod, I'll risk my life to report her for abducting a man from the commune! I still have half a sack of fine grain at home; I'll support you!"

With these words, she portrayed herself as a devoted heroine who rescued a talented man in distress.

Miao Meili was convinced that a refined scholar like Lin Hai would not be able to tolerate Guan Hongying's rudeness.

He will definitely be able to follow her lead and fall into her arms.

However, what she eagerly awaited was not Lin Hai's tearful gratitude.

Lin Hai frowned, then slowly pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.

Under Miao Meili's expectant gaze, he stepped forward and firmly shielded Guan Hongying behind him.

"This... must be Comrade Miao."

Lin Hai's voice was clear and cold, and at this moment it also carried a trace of the majesty of someone who had been sitting on the general's platform for many years.

"First of all, classical Chinese poetry, prose, and Xu Zhimo are not the yardsticks to measure marital affection. Secondly, although my wife is illiterate, she is kind-hearted, hardworking, and simple. She gave me a home when I was at my lowest point. In my eyes, she is a million times more noble than those who spout empty words of morality but actually kick someone when they're down!"

Upon hearing this, Miao Meili was stunned, and the expression on her face became stiff, as if she had swallowed a dead fly.

"Professor Lin, were you frightened by her? She's so rude, how could she understand you..."

"She may not understand poetry and literature, but she understands my joys and sorrows, and knows whether I'm hungry or well!"

Lin Hai stood ramrod straight, his voice resounding.

"I, Lin Hai, voluntarily married into the Guan family, and I truly love my wife! Comrade Miao, please don't try to ruin our marriage again."

"Otherwise, I, Lin, will not be polite!"

"Good! Father is right!"

Lin Chuan cheered loudly from the side, then added insult to injury: "Aunt Miao, stop putting on this sob story. My dad has a bad stomach and can only eat my mom's wild boar stew with vermicelli! He can't stand your half-bag of refined grains with a green tea flavor! Get out of the way, don't delay my family from building our big house!"
