Jiang Wan shook his head, his expression as normal as ever.

"Dad, I'm fine. Didn't I tell you that when I came back yesterday afternoon, I met a kind brother on the road. He was chivalrous and helped me teach Liu Ershun and the others a lesson. Besides, I am not a pushover, and I can't let those little guys bully me."

She downplayed yesterday's robbery and did not take it seriously.

But Jiang Weiran was still worried. He warned: "Wan'er, don't go to the town alone anymore. If you insist on going, let Xiaolan accompany you. You are a delicate girl and it is easy for you to encounter danger."

Jiang Wan nodded to indicate that she understood.

Jiang Weiran nagged her for a few more sentences, all of which were to remind her to be careful in the future and not to go out alone.

Xie Lan spoke at this time, with a tone of slight self-blame.

"Uncle, it's my fault. If I had come back with my cousin yesterday, so many things wouldn't have happened."

Jiang Weiran said quickly, "Xiao Lan, how can you be blamed for this? Who could have thought that Jiang Yan'er was so vicious and wanted to harm Wan'er? If anyone is to blame, it should be Jiang Yan'er, not you."

Jiang Weiran now called Jiang Yaner by her full name, without any intimacy.

Before today, Jiang Weiran still felt guilty and emotional towards the Jiang family. After all, he had lived in the Jiang family for more than 30 years. Even though he was not welcomed, they were still his blood relatives. How could he not have any feelings for them?

Moreover, Jiang Weiran had never passed the imperial examinations. He felt that he was stupid and incompetent and could not bring honor to the Jiang family, so he always felt guilty towards Old Lady Jiang.

He felt that it was his incompetence and uselessness that made Old Lady Jiang hate and despise him, so he obeyed Old Lady Jiang's words and never refuted them.

But what Old Lady Jiang said and did today broke his heart and made him see through the so-called mother-son relationship.

It had always been his wishful thinking, and Old Lady Jiang had never shown any warmth towards him.

After seeing through it, Jiang Weiran has decided not to have any more expectations from Old Lady Jiang. He and her are nominally mother and son, and he no longer has any feelings or thoughts for her.

As for Jiang Yaner, Jiang Weiran always felt that she just had a bad temper, but she was kind-hearted.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan'er was so vicious that she secretly hired someone to intercept and even tried to tarnish Wan'er's reputation.

Fortunately, there were kind people who helped, otherwise Jiang Weiran couldn’t even imagine the consequences.

"Wan'er, what's the name of that kindhearted man, and where does he live? Dad must thank him greatly. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have escaped so easily."

Jiang Weiran changed the subject and looked at Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan was stunned and didn't know how to make it up for a while.

There is no such thing as a kind-hearted person. She just made it up.

Xie Lan seemed to understand her embarrassment and came to her rescue, "Uncle, he was just a passerby, and the situation was critical at the time. I guess my cousin didn't have time to ask so many details."

Jiang Wan gave him a thankful look and continued, "Yes, that man resigned after seeing Liu Ershun and his group leave. He didn't tell me his name or where he lived. I guess he didn't want anyone to disturb him. Dad, don't take to heart what grandma said to you today. Follow me in the future, and I'll let you live a good life that they all envy."

Jiang Weiran's attention was diverted, and he just laughed at himself when he heard the words.

"Don't worry, Wan'er. Dad has been a foolish filial son for more than 30 years, and even implicated your mother. If I continue to be a foolish filial son, you will be implicated next. Dad will not let this happen again."

Jiang Weiran felt deeply guilty about his dead wife.

She didn't have a good day with him, but she never complained and shared the joys and sorrows with him. This friendship can only be repaid in the next life.

But Jiang Weiran didn't want the tragedy to happen again, he wanted to protect the child left by Rong Niang.

Jiang Wan felt relieved to see that his cheap father had finally come to his senses.

Letting Jiang Weiran see the true face of Old Lady Jiang and the Jiang family would be more convincing than her saying it herself.

Although Jiang Weiran is a bit cowardly, he still has the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

The cruel words that Old Lady Jiang said today have completely severed the mother-son relationship that Jiang Weiran had hoped for.

If the Jiang family members come to visit again in the future, Jiang Wan can show her skills without any scruples, and Jiang Weiran will not dissuade them but stand on her side.

Jiang Weiran looked tired. Jiang Wan didn't want to disturb him, so he let him lie down and rest, and took Xie Lan and the other two out of the house.

Xie Jing looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Xie Xueling spoke quickly and threw herself into Jiang Wan's arms. Her voice was muffled and it sounded like she was about to cry.

"Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell us that you were bullied? If you had told me earlier, Xueling would have asked my brother to help you get revenge!"

Xie Jing nodded, his tone unusually gentle.

"Jiang Wan, next time you encounter something like this, you must tell me! Now that you are married to my eldest brother, you are my eldest brother's woman. If I bully you, isn't that bullying my eldest brother? The person in Lushui Village who dares to bully my eldest brother has not been born yet!"

Xie Jing was indignant and said, "Just letting Jiang Yan'er go like this is such a good deal for her! Next time I see her, I will definitely punish her!"

Jiang Wan couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard him bragging.

What? She is his eldest brother's woman?

"What nonsense are you talking about, little brat? Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue? Jiang Yan'er dared to plot against me, do you think she is easy to bully? You are not even as tall as others, and you want to beat them up? I think you should just beat yourself up and go play in the mud."

Jiang Wan curled her lips teasingly.

Xie Jing blushed, and waved his arms in a feigned confidence, saying, "Jiang Yan'er is a woman, but I am a real man. Look at my muscles, which I trained with my elder brother. How can a man like me be beaten by a woman?"

Xie Xueling did not hesitate to sabotage.

"Second brother, the last time you had a fight with Brother Maodan from Fourth Uncle's family, you didn't even beat him. Brother Maodan is only one year younger than you."

"Xue Ling! Don't talk nonsense! I let him win on purpose! Mao Dan is my brother, how can I beat him and make him cry?"

Xie Jing hurriedly tried to make up for it.

Xie Xueling shouted to Maodan who was working opposite: "Brother Maodan, my second brother said that he deliberately let you win when he lost the fight last time!"

Maodan, who was working hard, said: "What? Brother Erjing let me win? Isn't this an insult to me? Brother Erjing, let's compete again!"

As he said that, Maodan clapped his hands and was about to walk over.

Xie Jing's face turned red with shame and anger. He chased Xie Xueling and tried to pinch her face. Xie Xueling giggled and ran away while dodging.

Jiang Wan watched them chasing each other, laughing and playing, looking so happy that a hint of envy arose in her heart.

In her previous life, she was a loner with few friends and no brothers or sisters. Her childhood was dark and boring, and she never experienced the joy of playing with her siblings.

Let’s put it in a book, and the body you are in is a person who is looking for death and everyone hates him. None of the brothers and sisters are truly kind to the original owner, they all have ulterior motives.

Get married, and marry your childhood sweetheart. But the original owner offended her childhood sweetheart's family, and now it's her turn, the unlucky one, to win favor and make up for the debt in the past years.

Now it seems that the relationship between Jiang Wan, Xie Lan and their two siblings has gradually been restored.

Even Xie Jing, that stubborn little boy, knows how to show some concern for her. This is a good start.

I just don’t know what Xie Lan thinks of her. Does he still hold a grudge against her for what she did in the past?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan looked up and her gaze met Xie Lan's.
