Jiang Tinghe was very timid when she was brought home. She was wearing a dress that Li Xiu had specially prepared for her, which looked very ill-fitting. She stretched out her hands uncomfortably to pull the dress smoother. With a "swish" sound, her rough fingers cut a hole in the soft fabric. Under the gaze of everyone, her yellow face turned red.

This was Jiang Tingxia’s first impression of Jiang Tinghe.

However, she soon adapted to life in the Jiang family. She applied cold cream and moisturizing oil, and her skin became rosy and shiny. She asked the best tailor in Wenhai City to make clothes for her, and the cut and workmanship were guaranteed to suit her. She learned to drink coffee, listen to symphonies, and attend dances. In just a few months, she became very different and became the real eldest daughter of the Jiang family.

This included developing a spoiled young lady's temper, especially towards Jiang Tingxia, whom she targeted and provoked all the time.

Jiang Tingxia did feel a little guilty towards Jiang Tinghe, so she chose to give in to her. Over the years, Jiang Tinghe became more and more arrogant and unreasonable.

Jiang Tingxia was used to her sarcasm and knew that if she married him, she would definitely laugh at her.

She asked into the receiver, "How is Mommy?"

Jiang Tinghe replied, "I'm fine. I just went out. I said I would go to the store to buy me a big diamond to celebrate my marriage."

Jiang Tingxia said nervously, "She is not in good health, how can she go out?"

If it weren't for this, Jiang Tingxia would never marry for her. Even if she took her place, she would never use the happiness of the rest of her life as compensation.

The marriage between Jiang Tinghe and Li Changpu was agreed upon when their grandfather was alive. Both parties agreed to get married when the girl came of age.

When the letter urging marriage was sent to her family, Jiang Tinghe cried and refused to marry. Jiang Tingxia also spoke for her, suggesting that they write a letter to explain the situation and cancel the marriage, but her eldest brother disagreed. He said that the Jiang family had been going downhill since Grandpa passed away, and the man had waited for this marriage for three or four years, and he was getting old. Now the Jiang family said they would cancel the marriage, and he was an officer, not to mention the status of a matchmaker. If they offended them, how would the Jiang family survive in the future?

Jiang Tingxia was helpless. She thought Jiang Tinghe would have to get married whether she wanted to or not. But Li Xiu happened to be diagnosed with a blood disease, which was extremely serious. She had a fever all over her body and was bedridden. The doctor said that a matching operation was needed, and Jiang Tinghe was a match, so she had to accompany her mother abroad.

Everyone was targeting her. Jiang Tingxia was in a dilemma. After seeing Li Xiu lying sick on the bed, she finally softened her heart and agreed.

Jiang Tinghe said indifferently, "It's an old problem. The doctor will prescribe two doses of medicine and it will be fine."

"Are you okay? Didn't you say you were going abroad for matching?"

"Don't you understand? Mom loves me, so she came up with this idea to trick you into marrying me."

Hearing Jiang Tinghe say this, Jiang Tingxia choked up and said, "Impossible."

Jiang Tinghe said proudly, "You haven't figured it out yet. I am my mother's biological daughter, not you."

Jiang Tingxia looked at the watch on her wrist. Jiang Tinghe also had this watch. When her mother gave it to them, she said, "You two are both my children. I love you both equally."

Are they all lies?

Jiang Tinghe couldn't wait to show off, "Do you know who I'm going to marry? It's Brother Ruiwen, and we're planning to go to Europe."

Jiang Tingxia murmured, "Going to Europe", isn't that the agreement between her and Jia Ruiwen?

No wonder, she received no response to any of the letters she wrote to him.

"Jiang Tingxia, Mom doesn't want you anymore, Brother Ruiwen doesn't want you anymore, and the Jiang family doesn't want you anymore."

"You have lived a good life for so many years, and you stole all of it. How could you, the daughter of a stinky beggar, deserve this?"

Jiang Tinghe became angrier and angrier as she spoke. Thinking of her miserable first half of life, she began to scream into the receiver, "When you were the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, do you know what kind of life I lived? Now it's time for the two of us to return to our original positions."

"I am the only eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and you have to stay in the mountains for the rest of your life, washing clothes, cooking, and serving men."

Jiang Tingxia was stunned by the shock of one truth after another.

Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door.

"Jiang Tingxia?"

It was Li Changpu's voice, "Are you still in there?"

Jiang Tingxia opened the door. Perhaps because she looked unhappy, Li Changpu, who was silent, asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Tingxia didn't say anything and walked out in a daze. Seeing this, Li Changpu picked up the suitcase in the room and followed her.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, she opened her big eyes and looked terribly empty. Zhao Yong looked at Jiang Tingxia who got into the car like a wandering soul and asked Li Changpu quietly, "What happened to her?"

"I don't know. Let's go back to the army first."

Their team was sent to the most difficult place. The road the car was traveling on was so bumpy that people almost felt like they were flying. Jiang Tingxia felt like she was being tossed around in the car like a piece of cargo.

The sadness in her heart had not yet faded away. Her spirit had just been hurt, and the physical torture knocked her down again.

We finally arrived at the place. Soldiers in uniform saluted to welcome us. The car drove forward and stopped in front of a small courtyard.

Although it is a small courtyard, there are only three or four bungalows when the door is opened, with gray and black brick walls, and it can only be considered clean and tidy.

A woman who looked to be in her forties came out.

Li Changpu and Zhao Yong followed Jiang Tingxia and respectfully called her sister-in-law.

The woman who was called sister-in-law came forward and greeted Jiang Tingxia warmly, "Xiao Jiang, right? Welcome. You must have worked hard on the journey. Come in and have a rest first."

Jiang Tingxia's face turned pale due to the road conditions along the way, as if he had a serious illness, and his eyes were dull.

He said nothing and just stood there motionless.

Zhao Yong laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, my mission is successfully completed, so I won't go in."

Nan Fang didn't want to keep him and took Jiang Tingxia and Li Changpu into the house.

There was a sofa and a wooden table in the living room. Nan Fang asked them to sit down and said, "Old He went to a meeting today and couldn't come back. Otherwise, he would definitely meet Xiao Jiang. After all, he is the matchmaker between you two."

Nan Fang looked at the two people standing there, one was heroic and dashing, the other was graceful and elegant, they were really a perfect match. Standing there was like watching a movie, so pleasing to the eyes.

She said jokingly, "Old He was the right matchmaker. Look how well-matched you two are."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the room flickered and the surroundings fell into darkness.

The sudden situation frightened Jiang Tingxia so much that she screamed.

Nanfang quickly said, "Don't be afraid, there is a power outage and the power generation is unstable. I will go light the kerosene lamp."

Li Changpu stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go order it."

There were sharp footsteps, followed by the sound of something being taken, and then a matchstick rubbed against the side of the matchbox with a crackling sound, and a little light appeared in the dark room.

Li Changpu's face turned red in the firelight, and he lit the kerosene lamp skillfully.

But the light from the kerosene lamp is so small that it can’t even fully illuminate this simple room. How can it compare with the bright light?

Jiang Tingxia had never seen such a place, it was so remote and poor that there was even a power outage.

But this is where she will live from now on.

Jiang Tingxia thought desperately.
