Up until now, it’s mostly about Jiang Laoer taking center stage, and no one has come to the door. The biggest issue lies with Jiang Laoer. Solve Jiang Laoer, and everything is resolved. But Jiang Laoer is determined on this person, leaving them helpless.

Ah Chen knows Su Man wouldn’t likely harm herself; she’s also waiting for Gu Lingfei to return, like someone reborn, more cautious about her own life than anyone else. But the Jiang Family doesn’t know that; they’re inherently kind-hearted and wouldn’t dare gamble on this matter, fearing it might end in tragedy. It’s happened before, so they’ve kept quiet about Su Man being pregnant with Gu Lingfei’s child, and Jiang Maohua stepping in.

"Su Man can’t take anymore; she’s contemplating death today. If I don’t intervene, she won’t survive." Jiang Maohua looked at his mother, who didn’t come to hit him, trying to ignore the family’s predatory stares, continuing, "Mom, Dad, please agree."

Chen Xiuying wanted to hit someone, but knew even if she did, her second son wouldn’t relent. She was at a loss, feeling very angry but unable to do anything. He seems determined to marry Su Man, but she didn’t want to agree. How could she agree to such a thing?

She doesn’t think Su Man is a good girl. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

She can’t accept such a daughter-in-law.

"Su Man’s life and death, but did Second Brother think about the family?" As the situation reached a deadlock, Ah Chen spoke up. Jiang Maohua’s actions were reckless, but the Jiang Family still loved him, unable to truly cut ties, only wanting to oppose the matter, never considering driving him out, mainly not realizing Su Man harbored ill intent, "First you hid this matter, acknowledged Su Man’s child as yours, putting the Jiang Family in the wrong. Given Su Man’s parents’ personalities, could a simple marriage resolve this?"

In the Commissioner’s past life, their marriage wasn’t peaceful. Su Man’s parents profited substantially from the Jiang Family, making the Jiang Family always feel inferior to the Su Family.

"Second Brother, you only think of Su Man; what about your family? If you keep this hidden, how will the Jiang Family cope in the future?"

"Su Man’s predicament isn’t due to the Jiang Family; it’s Gu Lingfei’s doing. She’s an adult and should know the consequences of her actions, which she must bear. If you secretly rendezvous in the woods, you should expect this outcome."

Jiang Maohua wasn’t as self-assured as before, lowering his head with some guilt: "But I can’t ignore her; if I don’t help, she won’t survive; I must care for her. Even if we can’t marry, I’ll still help her."

Jiang Aiguo and Chen Xiuying nearly fainted with anger, seeing his stubbornness took away their desire to scold him.

"Second Brother wants to help, but that is his business; bringing a woman pregnant with another’s child into the Jiang Family will complicate matters, it’s not just about marrying a person." Ah Chen spoke again, the Jiang Family looked to her, hoping she might resolve the issue.

"Mom, Dad, since we can’t stop this, let’s fulfill Second Brother’s wish. Otherwise, even if you object, his legs are his own; can you keep him locked at home? If anything happens, he might resent us for being heartless."

Jiang Aiguo asked: "Chenchen, what are your thoughts?"

Facing his second son’s obstinance, he felt helpless.

Since childhood, the boy had taken numerous beatings; now that he’s grown, hitting him only results in a few cries, as long as he doesn’t give up, like his youngest daughter said, his legs are his own, they can’t bind him, if something happens, they’ll be blamed.

A burden; why did he have such a troublesome child.

The solution was somewhat apparent to Jiang Aiguo already. If Jiang Laoer insists, there is a way to resolve this.

This burden falls on Jiang Laoer; he doesn’t acknowledge it, nor should the Su Family think they can cause trouble because of it.

If Jiang Laoer wants Su Man, then let it be, but he takes responsibility for everything thereafter.

Yesterday and today, Jiang Laoer has been the focal point; he doesn’t believe Su Man hasn’t whispered something to him, making him mindless. He fears this person might wreck the household once inside.

He and Xiuying wouldn’t mind, but there’s the eldest and youngest daughter, they can’t implicate them.

Recollecting how Jiang Laoer even sneaked some things out this morning, Jiang Aiguo was resolute, unsure what it’ll be like once she’s inside.

He wanted to object and block, but felt he couldn’t; Jiang Laoer’s heart is entirely with Su Man, which deeply disappoints him.

As the youngest daughter said, does the other side consider the rest of the Jiang Family when doing this? Had the youngest daughter not witnessed Su Man with Gu Lingfei, the Jiang Family would’ve been burdened with this; as long as the impact isn’t too much, the Su Family would undoubtedly cause a scene, leaving them disgraced.

Considering this, Jiang Aiguo felt somewhat disheartened.

"Let’s separate the family," Ah Chen suggested, "After separating the family, Second Brother can marry who he wants, bear the consequences himself, without implicating the family. Second Brother never considered us, always hiding the matter, I think separating the family is better."

The Jiang Family couldn’t harden their hearts, so she took the initiative.

Her task was to protect the Jiang Family, sometimes being the bad guy with a tarnished reputation wasn’t a concern.

"Second Brother, what do you think?" Ah Chen raised her eyes directly, Jiang Maohua showed shock, and some panic, the Jiang Family atmosphere was always good; he hadn’t imagined separation.

"Not only separation, but it’s best to clarify with the Su Family that Su Man’s child isn’t yours, lest they come and cause trouble."

Seeing Jiang Maohua want to speak, Ah Chen interjected: "Indeed, if you separate, you can keep it hidden and take the blame yourself, but do you believe the Su Family won’t come to cause a scene, ruining our reputation, demanding compensation? The Jiang Family didn’t do anything, why should we compensate the Su Family? Wishful thinking!"

Su Man isn’t fragile, she won’t act reckless; only this pig-headed person thinks she’s vulnerable.

The Jiang Family exchanged looks, silent for a moment.

Truthfully, they hadn’t considered family separation; they were living happily now, but if Su Man joined, it wouldn’t remain that way. Not married yet, and Second Brother became like this; imagine the future conflicts.

Indeed, conflicts abound; taking advantage of the Jiang Family’s wrong, Su Man does nothing, living like a privileged madam. Behind the scenes, she spins Jiang Maohua around; outwardly innocent, fooling many.

The Jiang Family disliked this but felt compelled, with Jiang Maohua ensuring Su Man’s good life, even claiming he coaxed her into intimacy, appearing to compensate her, what else could they do?

Jiang Maohua felt his little sister somewhat heartless but didn’t dare speak up, thinking he upset her with his actions; he stammered, "Little sister, it hasn’t reached the point of separating, has it?"

"Not separating, so after Su Man marries in, do we care for her? You insist on marrying her, and she isn’t pregnant with a Jiang Family child; I won’t acknowledge it. You insist on marrying her, then make us take care of her? Second Brother, you’re being selfish, isn’t this transferring charity?"

"Either abandon this matter or marry and take care yourselves."

"Mom, Dad, Brother and Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
