CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 102 NO WAY

Steaming hot dumplings were placed on the table, along with mashed garlic sauce, aged vinegar, and chili oil.

Qin Ming’s cooking skills were still quite good.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had calmed down.

No matter how unwilling she was, her elder sister was now married and even had a child on the way.

She couldn’t possibly be too extreme, forcing her elder sister to divorce and have an abortion, which certainly didn’t make sense.

Her elder sister wouldn’t agree either.

Not to mention her elder sister wouldn’t agree, the Qin family wouldn’t possibly agree either.

She didn’t have a reasonable logic to say her elder sister would be driven to death by the Qin family in the future?

Not to mention her elder sister wouldn’t believe it, who would?

They’d probably deem her as having lost her mind.

At this point, she could only turn this heavy duty into transforming her brother-in-law.

At least not let her brother-in-law be like his past self, always listening to his parents.

But this task was tough, she was just the sister-in-law, what right did she have to discipline her brother-in-law?

She couldn’t help her sister and brother-in-law with their daily life either.

Isn’t there a saying, ’A river may change its course, but not a person’s nature’?

Jiang Xiaoxiao felt helpless.

Qin Ming had already noticed, the sister-in-law was unhappy the moment she saw her sister get married.

With that expression, he could tell the sister-in-law completely did not approve of their marriage.

He surely knew he was just a country bumpkin.

If it weren’t for him saving Jiang Yue’s life, she definitely wouldn’t have married him.

He was practically walking on eggshells!

Standing there with a smiling face, wanting to please the sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, have some dumplings! Have some dumplings!"

"Eat more, eat more."

"Yue’er, don’t move, I’ll do it, I’ll do it!"

Not to mention, Qin Ming truly was a good man.

Aside from those past flaws, he really treated his wife well.

He was incredibly accommodating.

No wonder her sister liked Qin Ming so much in the past life, even running around for him just so he could stay in town.

Qin Ming noticed the sister-in-law’s gaze seemed a little better.

His mind then relaxed.

Jiang Yue saw her younger sister’s expression soften slightly, also breathing a sigh of relief.

"Qin Ming, tonight you sleep in the next room, I’ll sleep with my sister, we have heart-to-heart talks."

Though Qin Ming was reluctant, he knew his wife hadn’t seen her family for a long time and must have a lot to say.

He still nodded, "Sure! Sure! I’ll sleep in the next room. You two talk, you two talk."

Quickly tidied up the plates and bowls.

Washing dishes was naturally his job.

How could he let his wife do it?

He wouldn’t bear it.

Let the sister-in-law do it?

That would be foolish.

He wouldn’t miss a chance to flatter her.

Jiang Xiaoxiao felt she was almost like an empress dowager.

With nothing needed to be done.

She sighed.

Jiang Yue laughed, pulling Jiang Xiaoxiao, "You, how come you’re already sighing at such a young age. I know you’re worried about your elder sister, but rest assured, Qin Ming is a good person. I’ve never regretted it."

Jiang Xiaoxiao leaned on her elder sister’s shoulder, what could she say?

What else could she say?

"Elder sister, I know my brother-in-law is a good man at heart, but good is good. Some things, you have your inner bottom line. You can’t compromise on everything, give in on everything; sometimes being a bit firm isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Also, remember people are bullied if they are too kind! I’m just worried about you, elder sister, remember if anything happens, send someone to let me know. After all, I’m so close to you, you have someone to consult with, no matter what happens, I’ll help you. I’m your real sister, if the Qin family bullies you, you must tell me."

Jiang Xiaoxiao only hoped her elder sister wouldn’t be as constantly giving in as she was in the past life.

"What are you talking about, no one in the Qin family bullies me, and we’re not here to fight."

Jiang Yue laughed kindly, not at all aware of Jiang Xiaoxiao’s concerns.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed!

Her silly elder sister simply didn’t know what might happen in the future.

"Elder sister, you still have to send a letter to our parents, get married properly, and with a child already on the way. Not telling our parents, they’d be so heartbroken if they found out. Getting married isn’t child’s play. Also, when you have time, you ought to take leave and go back with your brother-in-law to see our parents once.

That’s all I’m saying, even if I say more, you won’t take it to heart, treating it indifferently. I can only tell you, come find your sister for anything, at least then you’ll have one family here."

Jiang Xiaoxiao took out the items from her bag one by one, she originally bought these things not to prepare for her sister’s postpartum.

Now it seemed these things might come in handy after all, at least they could give her sister some nutrients.

Jiang Yue glanced at them, her eyes turning moist.

Back when she was at home, anything good would be given to her younger sister.

The whole family doted the most on this little sister, but she hadn’t expected her sister to grow up, even bringing these things for her.

Just looking at these items, one could tell her sister had saved for a long time to buy them.

A glance at her sister’s hands showed clearly, she must have done the hardest and most tiring work at the farm these months.

That once pampered sister suddenly grew up, made her feel deeply unsettled and uncomfortable.

"You..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao gripped her elder sister’s hand tightly, "Elder sister, don’t be polite with me. We’re dear sisters, do we need to be all ceremonious with each other? If our parents found out, they’d surely support me giving you these items.

I didn’t know your belly had grown so big, had I known, I’d have definitely bought some cloth or something. At least make a set of clothes for my niece or nephew."

Jiang Xiaoxiao said these words sincerely.

How could she not know? Although the Qin family was the production team leader’s family.

Being production team leader didn’t mean they were wealthy.

In whichever production team, the leader had to set an example, with many eyes watching.

Though the leader had many privileges, it couldn’t be too excessive.

Besides, she knew the Qin family had three more younger brothers and two sisters.

And parents doted most on the youngest sister Qin Fang and one brother Qin Hao.

Frankly speaking, five fingers come in different lengths, and the Qin family parents had their favorite children.

Qin Ming, being the eldest, had more responsibilities at home, needing to help raise his siblings.

Being someone who liked to be proactive, Qin Ming never refused his parents.

In the long run, their life turned into this.

Living always tight, sister once said that when carrying her niece.

She’d often barely get by with meals.

The baby was born a bit over four pounds, skinny and fragile, almost didn’t survive.

Afterward, the child frequently got minor illnesses, her body remaining weak.

Jiang Xiaoxiao quietly rejoiced, luckily she brought grains this time, otherwise she’d really regret it.

This time she certainly wouldn’t let her sister and niece suffer cold and hunger again.

At least reduce some future pain.

Jiang Yue said nothing, her sister insisted on making her shed tears.

Standing outside the window, Qin Ming heard all of this, his eyes suddenly held something different.

He must treat his wife well, otherwise, he’d be a letdown to this sister-in-law.

The parents capable of raising such a sister-in-law surely weren’t as formidable as imagined.

Their character was definitely reassuring.

His heart was always on edge because he worried about passing the challenge of his father-in-law.

Now it seemed there was hope.

At least he had won over the sister-in-law!

"Eldest, I heard your wife’s relatives came, why didn’t you invite us over to meet them? After all, both families have never met in-laws. You’re really clueless."

Another voice echoed.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was startled.

It was Jiang Yue’s mother-in-law.

Whom she had met in her past life.
