Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

Noticing his son's questioning gaze, Mr. Jiang turned his head and quietly wiped his eyes, nodding as he said, "Your sister looked just like your grandmother when she was little. Your grandmother loved her the most and took her everywhere she went. When your sister got lost, your grandmother felt guilty and worried, so she fell ill and passed away not long after."

When Jiang Lan heard that the figure who loved her so dearly was no longer there, her tears flowed even more fiercely, and she couldn't stop them.

Jiang's mother could no longer hold back. She hugged her daughter tightly and burst into tears, saying what was on her mind, "Guoguo, my Guoguo, I've finally found you. It's all my fault. I didn't protect you well, and that's why you've suffered so much."

"Mom, it's not your fault." Jiang Lan knew it was an accident and no one was to blame. She was separated from the refugees, something none of them wanted to happen.

Upon hearing the word "Mom," the three members of the Jiang family instantly burst into tears, which they secretly wiped away with their sleeves.

After crying in each other's arms, the mother and daughter snuggled together and talked about what had happened over the years.

When Jiang Lan heard that because of her, the family almost fell apart, her grandmother died, her mother went insane, and her younger brother almost died, she burst into tears.

When the Jiang family members heard about Jiang Lan's experiences over the years, their eyes reddened again, and they cursed the Zhang family and Zhang Jianmin countless times in their hearts.

At the same time, I am glad that she escaped the hell, and now she has finally gotten over her suffering and has a husband who loves and cherishes her. Everything will get better and better.

Lei Yucheng, who was in the kitchen, kept an eye on the commotion outside. The doctor had said that pregnant women should not have too much emotional fluctuation in the first few months, but he could not stop this scene of family members who had been separated for many years from reuniting.

Hearing his wife's intermittent sobs, Lei Yucheng quickened his pace, and soon a steaming pot of pork rib noodles was ready.

"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, have something to eat first. You must be hungry after such a long journey!" Lei Yucheng said, his voice rang out naturally when his wife acknowledged them as her parents.

I originally wanted to call my father-in-law and mother-in-law "father-in-law and mother-in-law," but I always felt that calling them "Mom and Dad" was more intimate.

"Good, good, good." Jiang's mother-in-law was increasingly pleased with her son-in-law, especially when she saw Lei Yucheng cooking.

Although he's a little older than Guoguo, I think that older people are more caring, which isn't bad.

Judging from Xiao Lei's worried look, which kept glancing at Guo Guo, the two of them must have a very good relationship.

"Brother-in-law, I can do it myself, you don't need to be so polite." Jiang Yan said politely as he watched the regimental commander go back into the kitchen.

The word "brother-in-law" pleased Lei Yucheng, and he happily served Jiang Yan rice, but that was all.

"Thank you, brother-in-law." Jiang Yan saw the regimental commander bring over another bowl of rice and quickly reached out to take it, only to see the regimental commander place the noodles in front of his sister.

Lei Yucheng glanced at Jiang Yan and said, "You can get your food from the kitchen yourself. This is your sister's."

Jiang Lan smiled and took the bowl, then lowered her head and ate in small bites. "How did you know I was hungry? I ate quite a lot this morning, but now I just want to eat as soon as I see food."

“The little guy is just craving it,” Lei Yucheng said.

"She's so young, just a little sprout, what does she know?" Jiang Lan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the people who were eating noodles simultaneously stopped eating and stared intently at Jiang Lan's stomach.

"Guoguo, are you pregnant?" Jiang's mother asked happily.

Jiang Yan came out carrying a bowl of noodles and heard this question. He casually asked, "What do you need, sister?"

"When adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt. Be quiet." Jiang's mother glared at her son and scolded him.

"Oh!" Jiang Yan looked at his father and grandfather with a pitiful expression, trying to find some comfort in them.

Unfortunately, all I got in return was disdain.

He obediently sat in the corner and listened quietly, so as not to be disliked again.

Seeing that his wife was eating, Lei Yucheng replied, "I went for a check-up yesterday, and the doctor said she's only a month and a half pregnant."

Jiang's mother excitedly counted the days on her fingers, "Really? Then I won't go back. I'll stay and take care of you. The baby is a little over a month old now, and the delivery date is around the end of July or the beginning of August. Now is the time to prepare clothes, blankets, and diapers for the baby."

Grandpa Jiang was also very happy. Thinking that he hadn't given his granddaughter the gift he had prepared, he said, "This is wonderful! This is double happiness! Xiao Li, bring me my luggage."

A bankbook was handed to Jiang Lan, and her grandfather's smiling face came into view.

"Guoguo, quickly put it away, this is a gift from Grandpa to you."

Jiang Lan glanced at the amount on the passbook and quickly pushed it back, saying, "Grandpa, this won't do, I can't accept it."

Grandpa Jiang chuckled and said, "You don't need to look after the brat. You two each have a copy of this savings book. We came in a hurry this time, so we'll make up for the great-grandson's gift next time we come."

"You brat, Jiang Yan, I don't want them. Give them all to my sister so she can raise her little nephew."

Lei Yucheng looked Jiang Yan up and down, then said indifferently, "Keep what Grandpa gave you for when you get married!"

"I'm only seventeen, there's no rush."

The two childish kids were bickering, but Jiang Lan and the others didn't bother with them and continued chatting amongst themselves.

She accepted the savings book her grandfather gave her in the end; it was a token of the old man's affection, and she couldn't refuse it.

That evening, Jiang Yan suggested taking his grandfather and parents to a guesthouse, but Jiang Lan refused, saying that they had plenty of room at home and there was no need to go to a guesthouse.

Finally, Lei Yucheng, Jiang Yan, and Xiao Li went to the dormitory.

Jiang's mother and Jiang Lan slept in the master bedroom, while her grandfather and Jiang's father slept in the second bedroom.

Every day when Jiang Lan wakes up, hot meals are already prepared, and they are all her favorite dishes.

Grandpa asked Xiao Li to go to the department store in the county town and buy her milk powder and malted milk powder, so that she could drink a cup in the morning and evening to supplement her nutrition.

The father went to a carpenter's house in a nearby village and made a cradle and stroller for the unborn child.

Jiang Lan knew they felt guilty and wanted to make amends, so she didn't stop them and accepted everything they said. She enjoyed being pampered by her family.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Grandpa Jiang and Dad Jiang left. Mom Jiang was worried about her daughter, so she stayed behind to take care of her.

At this time, those who went back to visit relatives for the Spring Festival were returning one after another, including Zhang Jianmin and Zhao Xiaoya.

Upon learning that Jiang Lan's grandfather was a former high-ranking official and that she was now pregnant, the two women reacted differently. Zhao Xiaoya's eyes looked as if they were poisoned, which was incredibly frightening.

Zhang Jianmin, for some unknown reason, looked regretful, which made the older women watching the commotion feel disgusted, as if they had seen something filthy, and they hurriedly left.
