In the Jiang family's kitchen, Wu Ma saw the eggs in the pan sizzling with oil, and quickly turned off the fire and said to Liu Ma, "You don't worry about it, the eggs are overcooked."

She looked at the other ingredients she had prepared, with a worried look on her face, "The greens are wilted, and the beef isn't soaked well. Look, it's bleeding."

"The eldest lady is the most picky. How dare you give her something like this to eat?"

Aunt Liu said indifferently, "She is not the biological daughter of the Jiang family. She is just a fake. She is so arrogant."

When Aunt Wu heard her say that, she was so anxious that she almost covered her mouth. She looked around and saw that no one heard their conversation, so she felt relieved. "So many years have passed, and now only the two of us old people know something about this. What if you spread the news to the Madam and the others?"

"When the old master was still alive, he issued an order that this was forbidden to be spread outside. No one was allowed to talk about it."

Aunt Liu cracked another egg into the pot. "I think Madam isn't paying as much attention to her as before."

Aunt Wu: "No matter what, let her in and acknowledge her as the eldest daughter. We don't know what's going on inside, so just do your job well."

Li Changpu ran a few laps outside. Jiang Tingxia asked him to take a shower and change his clothes, and then went downstairs with him to eat.

Li Changpu changed into casual clothes. He was not as serious and cold as he was in military uniform. His whole temperament became gentler, as if he had become a different person, with a different flavor.

After everyone was seated, Jiang Tinghe looked at Jiang Tingxia and felt relieved. At the beginning, she was absolutely unwilling to marry Li Changpu for her, so what now?

Didn't she agree to it herself last night?

Jiang Tinghe was very proud. It was good that Jiang Tingxia was married. The Jiang family was hers, her mother was hers, and her brother Ruiwen was also hers. How could a fake Jiang Tingxia compare to her real daughter?

Jiang Tinghe held his head high, as if he had won a battle, and became more and more arrogant.

"I heard that my brother-in-law was hanging out with the servants yesterday."

When Jiang Tingxia and Li Changpu heard what Jiang Tinghe said, their expressions changed.

Seeing Jiang Tingxia's unhappy face, Jiang Tinghe became more excited, "It's normal that my brother-in-law doesn't know anything after staying in the countryside for a long time. In fact, families like us don't need to do it ourselves. You will get used to it slowly."

Li Changpu's face was gloomy. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Jiang Tingxia shaking his head at him.

Li Changpu clenched his fists. He promised her yesterday that he would not talk nonsense.

He swept his sharp eyes over everyone. The Jiang family was truly a mess.

Jiang Tingxia saw that Li Changpu had calmed down, then he looked at Jiang Tinghe, "Grandpa told us that the Jiang family should keep a low profile and be careful with what they say and do in the future. When he was here, the Jiang family didn't do this kind of show, but as soon as he left, you forgot everything he said."

She added, "Not to mention that Chang Pu can't stand it, even I am frightened by this room full of servants and old women. What's the difference between this and carving the word capitalist on one's forehead? Some people are so complacent, aren't they afraid of being targeted one day?"

Li Changpu glanced at Jiang Tingxia. He had argued with her about these things before. He was worried that she would have bourgeois ideas of exploiting others and pursuing enjoyment. Now it seems that she has not gone astray to that extent. She is different from the Jiang family.

Jiang Tinghe didn't believe it. When her grandfather was alive, he kept nagging her so much that her head was broken.

He was old and timid. The Jiang family had already spent most of their assets to ensure safety, and grandpa was a famous patriotic businessman. She really didn't understand what grandpa was afraid of? He had a lot of money in his hands but didn't dare to spend it or enjoy it.

Jiang Tinghe wouldn't do that. She had suffered enough in the first half of her life, and she must make up for it in the second half.

She said to Jiang Tingxia, "Only people who have nothing say such sour words."

"What's wrong with being a maid? Do you have one? After you marry into the countryside, you have to do everything yourself, such as washing clothes, cooking, chopping wood, and farming. You should do as much as you can."

"When the time comes, no one will respond to your calls to heaven or earth. Let's see what you can do."

Jiang Tinghe glanced at Jia Ruiwen who was sitting on the side, "Right, Brother Ruiwen."

Jia Ruiwen was thinking about something, so he hummed absentmindedly.

He thought of Jiang Tingxia wiping Li Changpu's sweat just now, and he felt angry. He and Jiang Tingxia had known each other for so many years, but she had never served him so gently, nor had she been so attentive to him as she had just done.

If she did that, even if Jiang Tingxia was not the real eldest daughter of the Jiang family, perhaps he would not give up on her so quickly and choose Jiang Tinghe instead.

The servants brought the dishes on the plates. The Jiang family followed the fashion and had a Western breakfast. Each person had a plate with fried eggs, fried beef, bread, sliced ​​tomatoes and pickled cucumbers.

Jiang Tingxia and Li Changpu were sitting next to each other. When she saw the silver knife and fork, she felt a little worried, so she secretly reached her hand under the table and patted the outside of Li Changpu's thigh, motioning him to look at her.

Seeing Li Changpu turned to look at her, Jiang Tingxia held the fork in her left hand and the knife in her right hand, then gave Li Changpu a look, meaning to follow me.

She held the food with a fork, cut a small bite of the food along the side of the fork with a knife, then used the fork to pick up the food and put it into her mouth.

Jiang Tinghe watched the two people's little movements, laughed, and shouted to the servants, "Tingxia, why are you going through all that trouble? Aunt Wu, my brother-in-law has never eaten Western food and is not used to using a knife and fork. Bring him a pair of chopsticks."

When Jiang Tingxia heard this, he rolled his eyes at Jiang Tinghe.

Just when he was about to scold her for meddling in other people's business, he saw Li Changpu eating with a knife and fork in a very skilled manner.

He said, "It's the same whether you use chopsticks or a knife and fork. They're just tools. It's just that it doesn't require any more trouble. I've been abroad for a while, so I've adapted to the local customs and have to eat Western food. I'm used to using knives and forks."

Li Changpu saw the egg with runny yolk and silently added in his heart, "It's true that I can't get used to it."

Jiang Hai, who had been silent the whole time, raised his head after hearing this and asked, "My brother-in-law has also been abroad."

Li Changpu: "We need to communicate or hold meetings with other countries."

Jiang Hai exclaimed, and then he looked at Li Changpu seriously, "It seems that my brother-in-law is highly valued."

Li Changpu said calmly, "It's just a normal mission."

Jiang Hai asked again, "What position does your brother-in-law hold in the army now?"

He remembered that when they got engaged, Li Changpu was only a deputy company commander, not a high-ranking official at all.

After hearing Li Changpu's answer, Jiang Hai was a little surprised, "He's been promoted to group leader! That's pretty fast."

Although he was somewhat impressed, Jiang Hai felt unconvinced and thought that this was the end of his life for a country boy. Moreover, compared with the Jiang family's immense wealth, he was just so-so and very ordinary.

In the past, his marriage would definitely be several levels higher than Li Changpu's. A poor boy like Li Changpu couldn't even step into his house.

Jiang Tinghe was different. He was anxious and angry after hearing this. He thought Li Changpu was just a country boy who became a soldier. He happened to have made several contributions and became an officer. However, without the support of his family, he would have a hard time in the future. Who knew that he had been abroad? In this day and age, can ordinary people go abroad? Jiang Tinghe was so angry that she almost jumped up from the table. Jiang Tingxia was really lucky.

He wished that Li Changpu was a complete peasant, and any good qualities she had would be like stabbing a knife into her heart.
