Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

"Why?" Tang Ying asked. "Rich families value matching. Someone in our unit married into a leader's family. She was once so beautiful, like a delicate flower, but within two years, she has become extremely haggard and has lost her former energy and spirit."

Liu Meilan thought for a moment, then replied, "Because my mother believes in the son she has educated, there's nothing wrong with the girl he likes. The foundation of marriage is love, not social status."

"The relationship between you and my eldest brother has been tested by blood and fire. It's a relationship that's worth giving our lives to each other. Since you love each other, why stop it? People's feelings are actually limited in life. They must be used up. It's impossible to have purer feelings with others."

Tang Ying was deeply moved, and a feeling of gratitude and love for her mother-in-law emerged spontaneously.

After getting married, I have received help and support from my mother-in-law at every important stage in my life. Not only have I not been troubled by her, but my relationship with her has been very good and my career has been successful.

Wang Miaoxiang blinked and looked at her sister-in-law Liu Meilan: "Meilan, what about me? I'm on a blind date with your second brother. To be honest, we don't have the rich experience that your eldest brother and his wife have, so our relationship is neither hot nor cold, but rather plain. Given your second brother's rich experience in relationships, I'm mentally prepared for him to mess around with other women!"

Liu Meilan chuckled: "Second sister-in-law, you and my second brother have known each other since childhood, and we know each other very well! Since you chose my second brother, you should know that my second brother has obvious advantages and disadvantages."

"It's certainly admirable for a prodigal son to return, as he can learn from his mistakes. But as the saying goes, it's easy to change a country, but hard to change one's nature. As his younger sister, I can't guarantee that my second brother will never make mistakes."

"But I can guarantee that no matter what happens to my second brother in the future, you will always be my second sister-in-law, and my two fat nephews are still my nephews. No matter how many or how good the others are, I will never recognize them. And I also have the ability to make the whole family disown them."

Hearing this, Wang Miaoxiang covered her mouth and smiled secretly: "Then I feel relieved. I had a deep talk with my grandfather at that time! I am an orphan, and my grandfather can't accompany me until old age, so he wants to find a family who can protect me and let me rely on!"

"He's known my grandfather for many years and worked with my mother-in-law for many years. He understands my father-in-law and the Liu family's entire tradition, so he chose the Liu family for me. I was mentally prepared at the time. If Yiwen didn't mess around outside and I was the only woman, then I would live with him wholeheartedly."

"If he falls in love with someone else in the future and wants to marry someone else, I won't hold onto this position. But I have one request: I can divorce him but I won't leave home. As long as I'm here, Sifang Island is my place, and no remarried woman from outside can come here."

Tang Ying felt distressed upon hearing this and held Wang Miaoxiang's hand. "Although I haven't spent much time with Yiwen, I can tell he's a very kind person. Also, don't be fooled by his usual airs of success; he's actually quite timid."

"I don't know about the others, but he's afraid of Yi'an's fists, afraid of leaving a bad impression in the eyes of his third brother, and even more afraid of Meilan dealing with him! With these reliable brothers and sisters watching over him, and grandfather, father-in-law, and mother-in-law watching over him, even if Yiwen is Monkey King, he can't escape the palm of the Buddha's hand."

Wang Miaoxiang laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Actually, I feel it! Big Brother's fists hit him a few times, and the pain went away after a few days! Yibang's half-smile of contempt can make Liu Yiwen furious. He also has a shortcoming: he's indecisive. When it comes to important decisions, he doesn't dare to make them lightly and always has to listen to Meilan! Sometimes, Meilan's words are more effective than the whole family's combined words!"

Liu Meilan chuckled, "So my second brother is nothing to worry about! My eldest and third brothers are away all year round, so my second brother has a heavy burden on him. Dad is in the army all day, so he is the temporary pillar of the Liu family."

"Now that he's married and has a wife and children, he's obviously much more stable than before! He suffered a lot from women before, but now he's on his guard! Now my second brother is surrounded by male secretaries, male bodyguards, and male drivers. Even mosquitoes are male. He can be considered to have turned over a new leaf!"

Wang Miaoxiang nodded. "Last time, he fired a female secretary who had been with him for seven years! This female secretary looked very ordinary, but she took advantage of my pregnancy and arranged for beautiful girls to attend the celebration party. It's a good thing your second brother was alert, otherwise he might have been successfully slept with those girls!"

Tang Ying was stunned when she heard this: "Is it so chaotic now?"

Wang Miaoxiang sighed, "This is still not presentable. They're just here for the sex! Shanghai's economy is booming right now, and many people are getting rich first, becoming bosses! That's incredible. They have wives and kids at home, mistresses outside, and illegitimate children!"

Tang Ying couldn't believe it: "Is this what it means to have a red flag flying at home while colorful flags flutter outside?"

Wang Miaoxiang nodded. "Yes! It's a mess! The income is higher in Hong Kong Island now, and many men there are keeping young women here! Not all women are willing to work hard, and there are always many who want to get money through their bodies."

They chatted while organizing the ingredients, and Professor Xie was responsible for cooking.

At 12 o'clock, a large table full of food was prepared, waiting for Liu Yibang and Mi Xiaonan to arrive.

The bus boat stops at Sifang Island Pier, and you need to register complicated documents when you go ashore.

Not only that, you also have to report to the police station near the pier.

Mi Xiaonan sighed again: "The security on this island must be very good!"

Liu Yibang smiled and said, "Yes! There's no petty theft or robbery! Because the management is very strict, if you commit a crime, the chance of being caught is as high as 99%!"

Coming out of the police station, a cool breeze blew off the sea. Mi Xiaonan took a deep breath and said, "After the air from the island entered my body, I felt a completely different state of mind!"

Liu Yibang raised his eyebrows slightly, quite proudly: "I didn't lie to you, did I? Living here, people are very peaceful and in very good physical condition!"

"Because there aren't many villagers on the island, there's no other way to settle down there except through marriage. This is how we control the population of Sifang Island."

"Through seafood and pearl farming, the villagers' income has increased significantly. People are no longer willing to go to the city to make money. They can earn money right at home."

Mi Xiaonan thought for a moment and asked, "Don't you all yearn for the medical and educational environment in the city?"

Liu Yibang pointed to the hospital in the distance and said, "That's the military hospital. There's a window open to the people of Sifang Island. Serious illnesses can be treated here, while minor illnesses can be treated in the town hospital."

"There are elementary and junior high schools on the island! Thanks to the military, and the town's increased financial resources in recent years, we've increased our investment in education. Teachers not only receive salaries from the Education Bureau, but also subsidies from the town. Some profitable businesses also sponsor some benefits."

"The environment here is good, the benefits are good, and life is very convenient. It's not as impetuous and noisy as in the city, and the local customs are pretty good, so many teachers stay here."

Mi Xiaonan nodded: "It's great on the island!"
