The person who came in was a woman in a dark grey dress and a blue scarf wrapped around her head. Walking side by side with her was a woman in a dark grey dress, with a round face, thin and yellow complexion.

"Auntie Chun, Auntie Jun, you are here." Yin Yusheng greeted the two of them, and was glad that they showed up in time, otherwise the second wife would have been beaten.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Lingye put down his hands when he saw the two of them, and reminded Zhou Huaihua to get up quickly and not to embarrass herself. "It's all because of this old woman talking nonsense, otherwise how could I hit her."

The woman sneered. Who is Jiang Lingye? They had lived in the same village for so many years, so how could they not know him?

He wants to save face, but also wants others to obey him unconditionally.

He is unreasonable and arrogant. I don't know where he gets his confidence from.

In the Jiang family of his generation, Jiang Lingye can be considered a weirdo.

"That's good. I've never seen an old man who would side with his daughter-in-law and beat his own wife." Aunt Jun laughed. "If that's the case, this old man is so dishonest."

Jiang Lingye's face was so dark that water could drip out of it. This was a blatant insult to him, but he couldn't refute it.

It feels like a breath is stuck in my chest, unable to go up or down, it's really uncomfortable.

Aunt Chun looked at Xu Da and Fu Zi and asked Yin Yusheng, "Who are these two? Why are you standing in the yard?"

Xu Da stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched the excitement for a long time. He was really impressed by the Jiang family's hospitality.

For a moment, he even thought about turning around and leaving. But thinking of Jiang Muxia's situation in the village, he couldn't.

Xu Da bowed and said in a clear voice: "Aunts, I am Mu Xia's sworn brother. I came here today with gifts to pay a visit to you two elders, but I didn't expect a misunderstanding to occur."

They understood that this man was the one who had been rumored in the village recently to be planning to marry Mu Xia.

It turns out that this is the relationship between the two.

Damn you black-hearted person who spreads rumors.

Qi was shocked when she heard the word "brother in law". Her eldest granddaughter had found such a powerful backer in the county. The third brother and his wife didn't even tell the family about such a big thing. If they had exposed it earlier, there would be no such a big scandal.

"Fuzi, take the gifts down from the car." After adjusting his mood, Xu Da prepared to take out the gifts, finish the job early and leave early. He didn't want to stay in this place at all.

"Brother, help me." Fuzi called Yin Yusheng, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, there are too many things for me to carry."

Yin Yusheng smiled and said, "No defense."

When he learned that Jiang Muxia had acknowledged the head of the Xu family as her sworn brother, he was truly happy for her.

This world is too cruel to women. Now that she has someone to back her up, she hopes her future path will be smoother.

Xu Da also spent a lot of money. He brought a whole carriage full of snacks, fruits, and high-quality cloths. The two of them moved the goods back and forth three or four times before they finished the task.

Jiang Lingye's originally gloomy face turned gloomy when he saw so many gifts. He smiled and invited Xu Da to sit inside.

Zhou Huaihua and her son's eyes widened as these were all great things they had never seen before. She urged her son to go and help, but was rejected by Fuzi.

Zhou Huaihua was thick-skinned and lifted the door curtain and entered the main room without asking any questions.

Aunt Chun and Aunt Jun laughed and joked, "Second Uncle, look, you still got help from Mu Xia. Look again, have any of these grandchildren ever bought you a bite to eat?" After they said that, they left together without even looking at Zhou Huaihua.

Xu Da entered the house and looked around. Although it was dilapidated, it was still relatively clean.

Qi pulled over a chair with a backrest, pulled up her sleeves to wipe it, and smiled shyly, "My home is simple, please don't despise it."

At the same time, he asked Zhou Huaihua to prepare tea.

Zhou Huaihua moved her feet reluctantly. She didn't want to go, but when she saw the table full of gifts, she went reluctantly.

Xu Da said, "Grandpa and grandma Jiang, my name is Xu Da, and I just recognized Mu Xia as my sister. Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang were supposed to come back with me, but the restaurant was too busy and they couldn't leave, so I took the liberty to come here. I brought some small gifts, and I hope you two won't dislike it."

"No problem, no problem." Qi said quickly, "My Mu Xia needs your care."

Jiang Lingye glared at her and blamed her for talking too much. He still couldn't believe that such a good person would not recognize that girl as his sister for no reason. She must have some ulterior motive.

"I want to ask, how did you two know each other?" Jiang Lingye inquired carefully. With interests at stake, he couldn't let anyone get angry. "My girl doesn't know anything. I don't quite understand why you, a rich family, would give her such face?"

Xu Da sneered. Is this her real grandfather? He was full of disdain. Normally speaking, shouldn't he be worried about whether his granddaughter was harmed by someone with ulterior motives?

"She did me a favor, and I agreed to keep her working in the shop." Xu Da calmly and simply recounted how the two met. "Later, she did well in the shop, so I handed the restaurant over to her."

He paused, then slowly spoke, "I recognized her as my sister after she managed the restaurant in an orderly manner. I was worried that she would go out on her own in the future and I would lose her as a capable helper, so I decided to do this."

Is it that simple? Jiang Lingye would never believe it. How could this stupid girl manage a shop?

Is it really as the rumors say, that this man has fallen for that little girl, and recognizing her as his stepsister is just a cover-up?

"Are you telling the truth? Why is it different from what we saw?" Jiang Lingye still didn't believe it. Deep down, he thought Jiang Muxia was a fool.

"Dad, I think it's true. That girl is so scheming. She pretends to be gentle and obedient at home, but she obviously just wants to be lazy." Zhou Huaihua came in carrying a black iron kettle and two large coarse porcelain bowls in the other hand. He placed the large bowls on the small table next to the stove and poured two bowls of yellow water into each of them. Then he placed the iron kettle on the stove.

"Madam, you've been saying bad things about Miss Jiang since you came in." Fuzi couldn't stand it any longer and retorted, "She's good or not, her grandparents haven't said anything, as a madam, do you have the right to say anything? Are you jealous of her good life, or are you just that kind of person, imagining that everyone is the same as you?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Xu Da scolded: "Fuzi, don't be rude."

Fu Zi was not convinced. He glared at Zhou Huaihua and stood behind Xu Da.

Zhou Huaihua looked at Fuzi proudly, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"

"You don't need to judge my sister. I know what kind of person she is, but you..." Xu Da glanced at her and said word by word, "You keep talking about her every day, calling her a bitch and using foul language. You are definitely not a good person."

"You..." Zhou Huaihua was so angry that he pointed at him and couldn't think of any words to fight back.

Xu Da stood up and bowed to Jiang Lingye and Qi Shi, "My two elders, I have something important to attend to, so I will leave first. Please come to the county for a small gathering another day."

Jiang Lingye had something to ask him, but he didn't expect to be angered by Zhou Huaihua's words.

He glared at Zhou Huaihua fiercely and stood up to see her off.

They walked to the gate and saw a group of people walking towards the Jiang family from the east of the village.

The leaders were Aunt Chun and Aunt Jun.
