Fu Jiujiu was just casually saying that, and the brothers always went along with her. Even if they couldn't help out, they would try their best to satisfy her requests.

"Just remember that, and I'll let you know when I've made up my mind."

Fu Sanjin nodded. "Okay, when you've made up your mind, be sure to come find Third Brother."

The sisters-in-law were all too enthusiastic, especially Zhou Shi. Although she was selfish, after all, the other two sister-in-laws at most just had money, but Jiang Yao was different.

Sān jīn are officials, she is just the wife of an official.

Their social statuses are all different.

Zhou Shi inquired about Jiang Yao's well-being, but her words were all about village matters. Jiang Yao didn't know much and couldn't contribute to the conversation, so she could only smile and respond politely.

Fujujju marched over with her little short legs to save the day. When she said she wanted to take Sister Yao out to play, Jiang Yao was truly smitten with her.

As her fellow villagers were leaving, Mrs. Wu was closing up shop a bit slower than usual. Seeing Fan Sanmei standing there gave her a bad feeling.

"Little sister, you and your older sister Yao stay close. There are a lot of people in our village, don't scare her again, okay?"

Wu didn't know if her younger sister-in-law understood or not. She wasn't good at being too direct, after all, her younger sister-in-law was still a child.

Fu Jiujiu, of course, understood, but she ignored Fan Sanmei's thick skin.

She walked back and forth with Meng Yao at the door, but she didn't expect Fan Sanmei to be waiting there already.

I wonder if she never went back.

Jiang Yao has already met Fan Sanmei. Although she doesn't know the details, she's sure that this woman is related to Fu Sijin in some way.

Fan Sanmei's arrival was not auspicious, Fu Jiujiu wanted to take Jiang Yao away, but Fan Sanmei came closer.

"Don't you want to know about my relationship with Sān Jīn?" Fàn Sānměi didn't beat around the bush, getting straight to the point.

Fu Jiujiu pulled Jiang Yao's hand, seeing that she had no intention of leaving, nor was she surprised. Could it be that they had already made an agreement?

"If you're not stupid, you should know I have something to do with the three golds," Fan Sanmei saw Jiang Yao not angry or making a fuss, just looking at herself so faintly.

Jiang Yao smiled gently, "What's your name, young lady?"

"Fan Sanmei!" Fan Sanmei spoke with an impassioned tone, "Sanjin ranks third, and I rank third in our family. Our fate was sealed from the womb."

This… is too far-fetched, isn't it? You really dare to say that.

Although Fu Jiujiao felt that the calm Jiang Yao could handle Fan Sanmei, as a member of the Fu family, she felt she should take a stance.

"Sanmei Jie, my third calf is the youngest. Do you two have any fate?"

Jiang Yao was amused by the little dumpling's words. The future sister-in-law's mind turned so quickly.

Fan Sanmei glared angrily at Fu Jiujiu, "Don't talk nonsense, where did you get that from?"

She cleared her throat and braced herself. “It’s okay if you don’t know, I’ll tell you. Sanjin and I almost got engaged before, but he had her in his heart, and I had her in mine.”

"So?" Jiang Yao was unhurried, her voice calm and gentle, a smile always lingering on her lips.

"It's settled then. So, the three of us are back together. We can still be friends." Fan Sanmei said brazenly.

"Then you shouldn't have come to me, you should go to Sān Jīn." Jiang Yao said softly. "I don't care about your business."

"Don't put on an act!" Fan Sāimi rolled her eyes. "You really don't care?"

Jiang Yao shook her head. “It doesn’t matter, Sanjin is talking to your aunt inside. You should go in.”

Fan Sanmei was stunned. She came with the mindset of getting into a fight, but she didn't expect this woman to be so easy to handle.

She snorted coldly, "You're smart enough."

After saying that, she turned her body and really walked towards the Fu family.

From beginning to end, Jiang Yao never showed a hint of displeasure.

Even Lian Fu (a popular figure) has to admire her. Looking at the future third sister-in-law, she seems frail and helpless, but this woman is clearly a high-level player with a strong inner core!

"Sister, didn't you say you were going to take me to play?"

Aren't these three sisters-in-law's ambitions too big?

"Well, but Sān Meijie went to look for Sān Ge." Fu Jiujiao reminded her, "Don't you want to go and see?"

Jiang Yao shook her head slightly, "I know."

Sanmei wants to rob Sange.

Jiang Yao laughed, "She can't take it away."

Okay, you are right.

As soon as they started walking to explore the village, they heard voices coming from the yard behind them - it was Zhou and Fan Sān Měi arguing.

Fan Sanmei wanted to see Fu Sijun, but it was impossible. The two sisters-in-law had bolted the door shut, leaving no chance at all.

Finally, Fan San Mei was dragged out by the two sisters-in-law.

Fan Sanmei unwilling to give up, chased after the little milk dumpling and Jiang Yao.

She intended to anger Jiang Yao so that Fu Sijin could marry her.

"Have you finished talking?" Jiang Yao walked slowly, this time she took the initiative to speak.

Fan Sanmei curled her lips and said, "Don't get too cocky. Sān Jīn is just mad at me. We two have been together since we were little, our relationship is different. How long have you known each other? He has me in his heart, that's why he doesn't see me."

Jiang Yao didn't argue with her because she thought it was unnecessary to lower herself to argue with such a woman.

Her face clearly read the four big characters "Prefers the Rich and Disdains the Poor."

Fan Sanmei saw Jiang Yao's reaction and wasn't too surprised, it was like a heavy punch hitting a cotton ball. She felt even more angry, "When I was good with Sān Jīn, he was nothing. Unlike some people, they only follow her now that Sān Jīn is in a high position."

Fan Sanmei is very good at distorting the truth, even Fu Jiujiao is too lazy to expose her.

"I'm talking to you, can you hear me?" Fan Sanmei shouted again.

Even if Fan Sanmei is indeed good-looking, her appearance can rival Jiang Yao's, but her temperament and upbringing are simply worlds apart. Any sensible person would definitely choose Jiang Yao.

"What are you laughing at? Speak up!" Fan Sanmei pressed forward step by step.

"Jiang Yao shook her head. "Fan girl, is that right?"

She vaguely heard someone calling her name.

"Aren't you looking to rekindle things with Sān Jīn? Then you shouldn't have come to me. I don't object." Jiang Yao smiled and said, "Go find Sān Jīn. I agree, truly."

Fan Sanmei was eager to fight Jiang Yao, or at least shout insults at her, but Jiang Yao wouldn't give her a chance.

Fu Jiujiu also shook her head, "San Mei Jie, you go find my Third Brother, please, don't play with us anymore, okay?"

Fan Sanmei would have died of shame if she could see this. Would she be here chatting with a stranger?

Looking at the two people walking slowly, Fan Sanmei shouted loudly: "I slept with Sanjin."

Jiang Yao swayed slightly, "Oh."

Fu Jiujiu turned her head and made a spooky face, "Cheater."

Jiang Yao firmly believed that Fu Sijin wasn't that kind of person. The two of them had returned from the capital together, and throughout their journey they had stayed in separate rooms. He had never laid a hand on her.

What's there not to believe about such a man?

Besides, this is true, they got engaged a long time ago.

"AAAAAAA... You two, stop right there!"

"Sister, where are we going?"

Fujujiao, in a milky voice, said: "Let's go to Uncle Ge's house to see the piglets. My calf doesn't have any fate with Sāimiéjie. Maybe Uncle Ge's piglets will have some fate with her."

Pffft!
