After packing up, Lin Fengmao parked an electric tricycle in front of the door. This was their means of transportation for the day.

He left on time at eight in the morning.

Although Lin and Zhang were neighbors, they were separated by a mountain. It was steep and straight, and they could only take a detour.

It was already an hour later when they arrived at the Zhang Family Village.

When they arrived at Lin Lan's house, Lin Fengmao frowned. This was too quiet, there was no atmosphere of a happy occasion at all.

Guo Caiyun looked at the tightly shut door, and uncertainly said, "Head, could it be that Lan followed Yongping to that courtyard?"

Lin Fengmao wasn't sure, he took out his phone and dialed.

Soon, a surprised voice came over the phone, "Bro, you're here?" Where are we? I'll get Yongping to pick you up. "

Lin Fengmao laughed, "You are already so old, and yet you are still so restless." We're already at your door. I see that your house is all closed. If all of you are in that courtyard, we'll head there too. "

The person on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment before replying, "Big bro doesn't need to. Yongping went to open the door for you." "I'm hanging up. Let's talk inside."

"Sigh …"

Without waiting for Lin Fengmao to continue asking, Lin Lan hung up the phone.

Guo Caiyun asked, "Why do you look so bad? What's wrong?"

Lin Fengmao was just about to speak when he heard the door open. He could only give Guo Caiyun a "we'll talk about it later" look.

The door creaked open and someone came out smiling. "Brother, sister-in-law, you're here. Come in quickly. Mom, Dad, and Lan are all waiting for you inside."

When he said this, he was stunned to see Jiang Kevin standing behind Guo Caiyun. He seemed to remember that the one who came should be his niece.

Sensing Zhang Yongping's hesitation, Jiang Chen stepped forward. "Hello, uncle. I'm Jiang Kevin."

"Ah, hello …" "Come on in." Perhaps he had misheard, but this thought flashed through Zhang Yongping's mind as he welcomed them in.

When they entered, Jiang Kevin's grandpa, Linde, and his grandmother, Nie Caijing, were standing in the living room, greeting their granddaughter, whom they had only met once. The two elders were feeling mixed emotions, but the moment they saw Jiang Kevin, all their doubts vanished.

"Wen Wen, my good grandson, why have you lost so much weight?" "It must be those damned Lin Family members who are bullying me. Wuu, wuu, my good grandson, why do you have such a bitter life?"

Grandma hugged Jiang Chen and began bawling without a care.

Although his daughter was an ungrateful person, she was still his daughter. How could he not feel pain? How could he not think about it? When he saw his granddaughter, who looked similar to his daughter, the pain that he had buried deep in his heart welled up again.

Jiang Chen looked at Lin Fengmao in embarrassment.

Lin Fengmao never expected his mother to be so excited, nor had he ever seen Jiang Kevin in such a state of panic. He secretly laughed, but he still reached out his hand to pull Nie Caijing away.

Lin Fengmao advised, "Mom, today is my good day, don't cry here."

"Oh, good, I forgot." Only now did Nie Caijin remember that today was her youngest daughter's son-in-law's good day. She could not cry.

Lin De turned his back and said, "That's enough, don't stand outside anymore. Go in."

He was tall, and even though he was in his sixties, he was tall and straight. He had a stern expression on his face, but the red rims of his eyes exposed the restlessness in his heart.

When they entered the room, Lin Lan, who was sitting on the mattress, pouted, feeling wronged. "I thought you had forgotten about us." "If you have a nephew, you'll forget about us."

Everyone knew that Lin Lan played dumb because she wanted to coax the old man.

Nie Zedong rolled her eyes and said, "What eldest nephew, this is your niece."

Lin Lan blinked, digging her ears. "Mom, what did you say?" Niece? This is definitely a nephew! "

Nie Caijin glared at her. "I told you that I can't play on your phone while you're still with me. Don't you think you've seen too much of your life?" As he said that, he looked at Jiang Kevin, who was bent over on the brick bed with gentle eyes looking at the baby. He was stuck.

Today, because of a string of relatives, Jiang Kevin had intentionally worn a new set of clothes. He wore a black-and-white long-sleeved T-shirt, a short blue jacket, black jeans, and a pair of black sneakers.

At a glance, one would think that this was a handsome youth.

Nie Caijin's mind went blank. She even started to suspect that she had made a mistake. Was the child of her daughter a nephew and not a niece?

Seeing Granny Lin like this, Lin Fengmao and Guo Caiyun looked at each other, feeling much better. They had been shocked when they found out the truth.

Lin De, who had just recovered from his grief, was also stunned when he saw Jiang Kevin's current appearance. However, he quickly recovered and could not help but frown. "A girl must have the appearance of a girl. Return quickly and change back!"

Although Jiang Chen had long learned from his aunt and uncle that his grandfather had a serious and stubborn personality, a portion of the reason why Lin Mei did not return home was due to Lin De.

However, she didn't expect to be scolded after just a few minutes of meeting.

Jiang Kevin smiled at him and said, "You're right."

Lin De nodded his head in satisfaction. However, he did not realize that Jiang Kevin's smile faded slightly when he said this. Furthermore, she had said 'you are right' but she did not say 'I will definitely change when I return'.

Jiang Chen had never been the type to listen to what others said.

And Lin Fengmao Guo Caiyun, who had a certain understanding of her, felt a sense of foreboding.

The duo wanted to persuade Jiang Kevin not to lower himself to the old man's level, but Lin Lan was holding him back to look at the child. They could only bury their worries aside. Furthermore, they had another matter to attend to.

Guo Caiyun asked, "Lan, when we first came here, we thought we had made a wrong turn. Why are you still not working at the table even at this time?"

As she spoke, Lin Lan gave a cold snort and picked up the child who had woken up crying. As she fed the child, she said, "Why didn't I do anything? It's in the child's grandma's courtyard."

Guo Caiyun frowned, "Weren't you separated long ago? It should be done here. How can I go back to my mother's place? "

Lin Lan couldn't help but sneer. "They say that Yongping was in his yard when his big brother set up the table. We can't be an exception. Why didn't they think about it? They still hadn't split up their family, and they were the ones who paid for their sister-in-law's hospitalization. When we got here, we paid for the hospitalization ourselves. Yuezi didn't serve her and still had to set up a table in their courtyard. Do you think I don't know what they are thinking? Isn't it just that they want a share of the money from the big guys? "

Lin Lan gritted her teeth in anger, "If it weren't for Mom and Dad stopping me, I would have already gotten even with them." Saying so, he fiercely glared at Zhang Yongping, who was standing on the side and smiling apologetically.

When Lin Fengmao heard this, he was infuriated. His brother-in-law had originally been rather pleasing to the eye, but now he appeared to be disgusted no matter how he looked at him.

Zhang Yongping also felt bitter in his heart. Of course, he was also very dissatisfied with his parents' way of doing things, but so what?

On one side was his parents, who had raised him, and on the other was his wife, who had shared hardships with him. Fortunately, even though his wife was good at talking, she understood his predicament and didn't force him to ask for money.

Of course, Nie Caijin was able to understand how difficult this was. However, she also knew that it wouldn't be beneficial for her daughter to go all out against her father-in-law. A long period of time would also harm the relationship between him and his son-in-law. After all, they were the ones who were loyal to him. She could only persuade her daughter to bear with it. She could only bear with it until her son-in-law couldn't bear it any longer. Then, she would obtain victory.

Lin De was also angry, but he did not say anything. Back then, his mother had treated Granny Lin in such a manner. However, at that time, he had only asked Nie Caijing to endure. If he were to stand up for his daughter now, it would mean that he had done something wrong. The only thing he could do was to make some delicious food for his daughter as compensation.

A few years ago, Linde was a famous chef in the Eight Clans. In the past, anyone with a happy occasion would be willing to treat him to a dinner. However, although he cooked well, he had never cooked at home. This time, it could be said to be unprecedented to cook for Lin Lan.

Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Jiang Chen smiled as he placed a red packet under the baby's pillow, "I wish the baby a healthy growth."

Lin Lan did not expect Jiang Chen to give her child a red packet. Here, those who had not married did not need to go with the formalities.

She shook her head. "No, Wen Wen, you're still a child. Aunt can't take your money. "Zhang Yongping, what are you looking at? Why aren't you returning the red packet to Wenwen as soon as possible?"

Zhang Yongping was only unable to react for a moment. After hearing his wife's words, he hurriedly went over to take out the red packet and stuffed it into Jiang Kevin's hands. "Wenwen, no need, really no need."

With his agile movements, Jiang Kevin easily got rid of Zhang Yongping as he said with a smile, "Aunt, Uncle, please accept it. I did not take back what I sent out."

Jiang Chen's tone of voice was neither light nor heavy, but it was firm and decisive as he exuded a powerful aura, causing everyone present to subconsciously submit to her. From this moment on, no one treated her as a child anymore.

After Lin Lan woke up, she couldn't help but sigh. The young people in the city these days were truly amazing. No wonder everyone wanted to go to the city.

However, she did not know that there was no freak like Jiang Kevin in the city.

Right now, the baby in Lin Lan's arms wasn't crying after it had eaten its fill. Its big black eyes were rolling around randomly.

Jiang Kevin felt an itch in his heart when he saw this.

Lin Lan could see her desire. "Wen Wen, don't you want to hug your little brother?"

Jiang Kevin wanted to extend his hand but did not dare to. "Forget it."

Lin Lan could only throw the child into Jiang Chen's arms.

Jiang Chen immediately reached out to hug her. When her soft body that was filled with the fragrance of milk entered her hands, her entire body froze.

She was too small and too soft. She only needed to use a little bit of strength to break the child. In order to prevent any accidents, she could only use her two arms to hold the child, not daring to move.

The Lin Clan members didn't expect their niece, who had a strong aura, to be so confused as well. The huge contrast made them burst out in laughter.
