After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

Xu Ping'an had previously heard from her stepmother that she was ostracized at home, and that her second sister also had a complicated relationship with her.

Seeing Jiang Zhiyun's aggressive demeanor, he naturally slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Second sister, you are my wife's sister, and I should respect you. But for you to speak of my wife like this shows your narrow-mindedness."

“At home, your parents and elder sister tolerate you. But going out and bringing shame to the family is unacceptable. Why doesn’t your brother-in-law discipline your wife? A wedding home should be a time of family harmony, but now, my wife and I have been insulted.”

Jiang Zhiyun didn't think much of it; she knew Xu Ping'an's personality very well.

He's a typical example of someone who's incompetent but cares too much about saving face, with an empty head. He's currently furious, but that's only because Jiang Zhiyun said he was being indecent, which caused him to lose his temper.

She stood up, ready to retort, but Xie Shuheng stopped her, saying, "My wife, please don't get angry."

He patted Jiang Zhiyun's hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

Then she looked at Xu Ping'an and said, "Brother, my wife doesn't need to be disciplined, and I won't discipline her as if she were my private property. She is my wife, and we should respect each other and walk hand in hand."

"..." Jiang Zhiyun was somewhat surprised to hear these words. You see, she had lived for so long in her two lifetimes and had no expectations for marriage. Now Xie Shuheng was saying that they should walk hand in hand...

In her past life, she guided Xu Ping'an step by step, offering advice and strategies, only to be met with endless beatings, insults, and a mistress...

In both her lives, she always knew how difficult it was to be a woman, and now Xie Shuheng, who killed his wife in his previous life, loved her even more.

Xie Shuheng continued, "Furthermore, my brother, as a man, has no manners at all. He is even more rude than that gossipy woman, speaking disrespectfully to my wife on our first meeting."

"Now, both my wife and I need an apology from you."

Xu Ping'an was stunned. The main reason was the oppressive aura emanating from Xie Shuheng's voice; he even felt a chill creep down his spine. Looking into Xie Shuheng's eyes, he almost felt his life was over.

At that moment, with a loud crash, the teacup in Xie Shuheng's hand shattered without warning, then fell to the ground and rolled twice. He didn't say a word, but his eyes were full of hostility, while his voice remained gentle: "I'm sorry, Father-in-law, I squeezed the cup a little too hard."

Still shaken, Jiang Laosan said, "...No, it's alright. I'll get you a new cup."

Upon hearing the sound of the cup shattering, Xu Ping'an's legs went weak and he almost collapsed, his forehead covered in sweat.

I had long heard that Xie Shuheng had committed all sorts of evil deeds in Shikanchang. Fortunately, a new commander from the capital came to Shikanchang to take charge of the labor service, which is why Xie Shuheng is now covered in injuries.

Even though he was covered in wounds, Xu Ping'an was still afraid, after all, he had no fighting skills...

Jiang Zhiwan looked at her husband's hunched back and his timid appearance as he instinctively swallowed his saliva. She felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration, but she also felt a pang of regret for the man who had killed her in her past life.

She was also afraid. If she angered Xie Shuheng and was slit in the throat, how could she live a good life afterward?

Anyway, we'll find a way to get ahead of Jiang Zhiyun later, so there's no rush.

Not to mention the others who were scared, Jiang Zhiyun was also somewhat stunned. She could clearly sense that this person, when he went mad, was indeed the kind who would kill. She silently moved her body a little away from him.

Fortunately, Xie Shuheng stood up for her. This was the first time in both her lives that someone had stood by her side even without her having to fight for it. Was this... the meaning of marriage?

At this moment, Xu Ping'an no longer cared about saving face.

She stood up and bowed to Jiang Zhiyun and Xie Shuheng, then said in a trembling voice, "Second sister, brother-in-law, I spoke inappropriately just now. I will definitely visit you another day to apologize."

At this moment, Zhao Guifen stood up and quickly said, "Alright, alright, you two are both my sons-in-law, and you'll be brothers-in-law in the future, so it's good that you help each other out."

"It's because we're not familiar with each other that there's such a misunderstanding. Old Jiang will talk to you in the main room while I take Wan Niang and Yun Niang into the kitchen. There are a few dishes left, and we can eat them as soon as they're ready."

As she spoke, the two sisters followed Zhao Guifen inside.

After closing the kitchen door, Zhao Guifen looked at Jiang Zhiyun and said, "Yunniang, Xie Shuheng is obviously not someone you can easily control. When you go back, you should take a good look around. There must be something valuable in their house."

"If you find anything good, bring it back to me and I'll save it for you."

Jiang Zhiyun raised an eyebrow. Did they still think she was a sucker?

"Yunniang will follow your teachings," she said, feigning honesty.

Jiang Zhiyun snorted coldly: "Yunniang, as your elder sister, don't blame me for not reminding you, the most important thing is to hold onto a man's heart. You haven't consummated your marriage yet, have you?"

“My brother-in-law and I, he can’t bear to leave me day and night. It’s infuriating to compare yourself to others. It’s laughable that a woman would do what you did.”

"That Xie Shuheng is no good. Not only can you not win his heart, but with his personality, he might even kill you in the future!"

Jiang Zhiyun smiled and looked at her: "Then what do you think I should do, sister?"

Jiang Zhiwan exchanged a glance with her mother and continued, "It's not a big deal, I just need you to help me earn some money. If you come to me, I will naturally protect you. In the future, if your brother-in-law becomes powerful and becomes the top scholar, he can also barely keep you alive."

Zhao Guifen nodded: "Yunniang, I heard from Aunt Hong that you're going to set up a stall. Why would someone as incompetent and useless as you go and join in? From now on, help your sister with chores. Whatever she needs, just do it for her."

Jiang Zhiyun said, "Jiang Zhiwan wants to go into business, so she wants me to take charge. What about her? She just sits around taking money? So why do my mother and elder sister think I should agree?"

“Of course I’m different from you. Your brother-in-law will become an official in the future. I can’t change my status as a good person now. If I become a lowly person in the future and do business, what will your brother-in-law do if he doesn’t want me?”

“Yunniang, your husband has already been demoted, and neither of you will have a future. What’s wrong with you helping me?”

Jiang Zhiwan felt she was being very kind; Yunniang was about to be divorced and killed by her husband. At least she still had some use for Yunniang by taking her along on business trips, right?

After saying that, Jiang Zhiwan leaned closer and said repeatedly, "Yunniang, do you agree? I will always give you something to eat in the future."

After saying that, Jiang Zhiyun was washing vegetables with water when she turned around and splashed the water on her face.

Jiang Zhiwan's newly bought clothes were soaked: "Yunniang! Are you crazy? You shameless woman, how dare you splash me? You have some nerve! I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Let me wake you up, stop daydreaming." Jiang Zhiyun rolled her eyes at her, as if she were looking at a lunatic.

I'm afraid that if I talk too much, I'll be tainted by the aura of an idiot.

As she spoke, Jiang Zhiwan raised her hand and slapped Jiang Zhiyun across the face.

Before he could even strike, Jiang Zhiyun struck him first with a loud "smack."

Zhao Guifen quickly went over to cover it, looking extremely distressed.
