In the past three years, Song Risheng got married and became more responsible; he has grown older and his appearance has matured, making him look more charming than he did three years ago.

Xiang Yuting's heart began to pound again.

She kept calling him "elder cousin," and under the guise of wanting to greet her cousin's wife and get to know them as relatives, she entered the Song family.

As a result, in front of Qi Lian, she kept bringing up one or two small things that happened between the two of them three years ago.

Yes, that's true. After all, they are legitimate relatives, so they must have had some contact with each other.

But when Xiang Yuting said it, it seemed to carry an added touch of tender affection and innocent childhood friendship.

Song Risheng only felt that something was strange, but he couldn't figure out anything else. Qi Lian didn't understand it at first either, but seeing Xiang Yuting's slightly provocative and smug look, she immediately understood the unspoken meaning behind Xiang Yuting's words!

Qi Lian almost died of anger!

Her husband was handsome, and when he went to the stream to wash clothes, many of the young wives in the village would tease her on purpose.

But those who are like Xiang Yuting are clearly different!

In particular, after sitting for a while, Xiang Yuting said she wanted to go out to buy some tofu, but didn't know how to get there, and asked Song Risheng to show her the way. Song Risheng didn't think much of it and readily agreed. He gave Qi Lian a few instructions and then led Xiang Yuting out!

Qi Lian sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), feeling increasingly aggrieved, which led to the scene that Tian Denghua and Song Yanyan witnessed when they returned.

……

Song Yanyan sat down warmly next to Qi Lian and greeted Xiang Yuting: "This is my cousin from the Xiang family, right?"

Xiang Yuting still looked down on Tian Denghua and her branch of the family deep down. She raised her chin and hummed in agreement, revealing her arrogant nature.

Seeing Xiang Yuting like this, Tian Denghua felt an itch to slap the girl on the back of the head.

Back then, when Old Madam Song wanted to matchmake Song Risheng and Xiang Yuting, she didn't tell anyone. She considered that Xiang Yuting was, after all, a young girl who cared about her reputation and wanted to find a husband later.

Looking back now, it seems she really made the right decision to refuse back then.

What's with Xiang Yuting being so arrogant towards her Yan Yan?

Song Yanyan smiled and said, "Cousin Xiang, are you here to visit relatives today? ...Since you're already here, what are you bringing?"

Xiang Yuting's face darkened.

She was carrying a piece of tofu, still warm and steaming.

She had just asked Song Risheng to take her out under the pretext of buying tofu—but she really did need to buy tofu, as they needed it at home!

Song Yanyan jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) and, as if they were old friends, took the tofu from Xiang Yuting's hand, saying politely, "Cousin Xiang, you're being too polite. Since you're already here, don't bring anything next time..."

Xiang Yuting's face turned completely dark. She quickly held up the tofu to avoid Song Yanyan's hand: "...What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not here to visit relatives!"

Song Yanyan's expression immediately changed: "Oh, Cousin Xiang isn't here to visit relatives? Then what are you here for? My sister-in-law isn't feeling well, so please excuse us!"

Xiang Yuting never expected that Song Yanyan would turn on him so suddenly and even give him the order to leave!

She was so angry that her chest heaved, and she turned and left.

Song Yanyan pouted behind Xiang Yuting.

Want to be her sister-in-law? Ha, no way!

Qi Lian was stunned and somewhat doubtful when she saw Song Yanyan walk towards Yu Ting with just a few words: "...Ah, Yanyan, isn't this your relative? Is this...is this okay?"

Tian Denghua sat on the corner of the kang (a heated brick bed), giving an indifferent smirk: "If you ask me, Yan Yan did the right thing. She came to our house and acted like that; it's already a favor I did for the old lady by not kicking her out!"

Tian Denghua was an elder, and for her to get involved in this matter, and then go to Yuting and then to Old Madam Song to complain... Although Tian Denghua wasn't afraid, she still found it annoying.

Right now, Song Yanyan, this junior, easily kicked Xiang Yuting out with just a few words. In retrospect, it was just a quarrel between juniors.

Song Yanyan, hands on her hips, said confidently, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll always be on your side!"

Although her sister-in-law was sometimes a bit confused and had some ulterior motives, she had always treated the family well in the three years since she married into their family. Since they treated each other with sincerity, Song Yanyan was very willing to treat her as a close relative.

Song Yanyan has only one principle right now: whoever dares to harm her family is her greatest enemy!

When Song Risheng returned from boiling water, he didn't notice that someone was missing from the room, nor did he mention Xiang Yuting at all. He was only concerned about Qi Lian: "Wife, are you feeling any better?"

Qi Lian then smiled and said, "I feel a little better."

Song Risheng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

Song Yanyan watched with a smile, her face cupped in her hands.

That's wonderful. She hopes her older brother and sister-in-law can live happily together without being disturbed by outsiders.

"By the way, I almost forgot!"

Song Yanyan slapped her forehead, reached into her bosom, and pulled out several very pretty colorful ropes. She presented them to Qi Lian and said, "Sister-in-law, I bought these. Pick two."

Qi Lian was both surprised and delighted: "Is there a share for me?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Song Yanyan nodded and said seriously, "Now I'm known in the martial arts world as Little Rich Song. Two hair ties are nothing to me."

Qi Lian was overjoyed and didn't bother with any more formalities with Song Yanyan, happily picking out two sticks.

Her eyes crinkled with laughter: "Yan Yan is so good to her sister-in-law. When Yan Yan gets married, she will definitely do her a lot of extra dowry."

Song Yanyan felt a chill run down her spine at the thought of getting married; she was still quite young.

Although it is customary for people of her age to start looking for spouses, she now recalls her memories from her previous life and finds it difficult to accept the current customs.

Fortunately, Qi Lian only mentioned the matter of adding makeup, and didn't intend to tell Song Yanyan about it right now.

Song Yanyan didn't dwell on it.

She got up and looked out the window: "Speaking of which... why hasn't my second brother come back yet?"

Tian Denghua clicked her tongue: "Mind your own business."

Qi Lian hesitated for a moment: "Mother, what do you plan to do about my second brother and that Miss Zhai?"

Tian Denghua smirked: "Heh, that brat, his heart is set on that girl. He's all over her... If he's determined to marry her, what can I, as his mother, do? Break them up? We'll see. If it doesn't work out, I'll pick a good day after the New Year and have Wang the matchmaker go to Shuiwanggou to propose marriage."

Although Qi Lian was also somewhat worried, as the sister-in-law, with her mother-in-law still alive, she naturally wouldn't interfere in her brother-in-law's marriage, so she didn't say anything.

Song Yanyan, however, knew the truth because she had dreamed about it in her dreams.

Zhai Cuihua from Shuiwanggou will not marry her second brother.
