Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Forth Brother Zhang looked down on his brother-in-law and couldn’t help but tease him, “Brother-in-law, you’ve been married to my sister for so many years, how come you haven’t changed at all? You haven’t picked up a shred of my sister’s industriousness!”

Jiang Shui, after hearing this, initially wanted to scold Forth Brother Zhang, but looking at his towering height over his own, he mumbled and held back his words.

In his mind, the Zhang family were just uneducated villagers from the mountains, and it wouldn’t be worth provoking them and getting beaten up.

Jiang Shui, who had read a few books, could only console himself with the thought that “A wise man does not eat the loss in front of him.”

Zhang Ling looked at Jiang Shui with a twisted mouth and a disdainful expression, deeply regretting her decision. She had been selective in helping her brother find a good wife but forgot to choose a good husband for herself. Now she was stuck with a man without a backbone for life, which felt like a huge mistake!

With mixed emotions, they all made their way to Jiang Chuan’s home.

Jiang Chuan’s house was already bustling with activity. Aside from Jiang Chuan’s family, there were guests like Chen Xing, and the families of Xiao Li and Xiao Wu who had come to help. The not-so-small yard was packed with people, making it seem a bit crowded.

It was Jiang Shui’s first visit to Jiang Chuan’s new home, and he was surprised to find that it was even bigger than the old Jiang’s yard, it comes with three rooms! At that moment, Zhou Lan was busy assigning living quarters to Jiang Qing’s family.

Zhou Lan said, “Since you arrived earlier than expected, the rooms aren’t ready yet, so you’ll have to make do and stay in the main house for a couple of days. There are three rooms: Jiang Xia, Jiang Gu, and I will take one; Jiang Qing and Zhang Ping will take another; and Forth Brother Zhang can have one to himself. After we eat, I’ll set up the beds for you.”

Jiang Gu chimed in, “Mom, I want to stay with my big sister. I haven’t seen her in so long. When we were in the mountains, we slept together. We should sleep together now that she’s back too!”

Zhou Lan chuckled, “Silly girl, they are a couple and should stay together. Why would you want to crowd them?”

Jiang Gu thought it was because of Zhang Ping that she couldn’t stay with her sister, so she suddenly felt hostile towards her new brother-in-law. Her chubby little face was filled with an angry look as if to say, “Don’t you dare take my big sister away from me.”

Zhang Ping was taken aback by her glare, but then he couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “Xiao Qing, then for these two nights you can sleep with your sisters, and I’ll squeeze in with Forth Brother. Your sisters have missed you for so long, they must want to be with you.”

Jiang Qing was a very gentle person and was very affectionate towards her sisters, so she naturally agreed to this arrangement.

After the rooms were assigned, they discussed preparing lunch.

Zhou Lan was about to roll up her sleeves and head to the kitchen to cook, but Jiang Xia stopped her, “Mom, you don’t need to worry about today, leave it all to me. I promise to make a delicious meal!”

Zhou Lan teased her, “Are you sure you can handle the cooking? Don’t you need my help?”

Jiang Xia hesitated; her knife skills were not yet perfect, and she still needed some assistance.

Jiang Qing thought her younger sister’s claim of cooking was merely child’s play and didn’t expect her to actually be able to prepare a sumptuous meal. Thus, she stepped in and said, “Don’t worry, Mom, you take a good rest. I’ll help her out, you don’t need to concern yourself with lunch today.”

With Jiang Qing present, Zhou Lan felt assured and said, “Alright, you two sisters go ahead and cook. I’ll go on preparing the pickles.”

Today, with her eldest daughter’s family returning and everyone in high spirits, Jiang Xia decided to take out the half sheep left over from their last meal of lamb dumplings.

Jiang Xia’s interspace functioned like a natural refrigerator; the lamb meat, after a month, was still as fresh as if it had just been slaughtered.

She planned to follow the recipes in her mind, intending to stew a pot of carrot and lamb soup, and also to cook a dish of braised chicken.

While she was planning, Jiang Qing suddenly cleaned her hands and started to walk out of the kitchen. Jiang Xia, surprised, asked, “Big sister, where are you going?”

Jiang Qing replied, “There are many of us at home today, and we brought some wild animal meat from the mountains. It would be perfect to cook it now.”

Jiang Xia gestured with her hand and said, “No need, rest assured, we have enough food at home, don’t bring anything else.”

Jiang Qing was still hesitant but was quickly pulled back by Jiang Xia..
