Chapter 209 Marrying Out to Make Room for Her Younger Brother

Jiang Yuan wasn't sure if she had misheard, so she looked at Chocolate and asked, "Were you just swearing?"

"Swearing?" Fried Ice Cream suddenly widened its eyes, looking down at the blue cat in its arms. "Chocolate, I asked you to give Yuan Yuan your blessings, how could you swear?"

"I'm not scolding Yuan Yuan!" Chocolate tilted its head back and meowed, "I'm scolding Qi Qi, your heartless mother."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan explained to the fried ice cream, "Qiqi, the chocolate wasn't insulting me."

"That's good, that's good!" The fried ice cream breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned in confusion, "Who is the chocolate insulting?"

Chocolate meowed again: "I curse your awful mother!"

"Chocolate, can you tell me why?" Jiang Yuan's eyes showed a hint of curiosity. "Why do you say she's heartless and despicable?"

【Huh? Something's up?】

[Great, I love watching these~~~]

So who is this blue cat insulting?

Chocolate realized that the person on the phone screen could understand her, and anxiously called out, "Can you please tell Qiqi not to go on that blind date?"

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Chocolate, you have to tell me why first."

Fried Ice Cream blinked, looking confused. She wanted to ask what was going on, but she was afraid of disturbing Jiang Yuan and Chocolate's conversation, so she held back.

"Qiqi's mom..." Chocolate recounted what she had discovered.

Jiang Yuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a solemn expression crept onto her fair and clean face. Her lips were pressed tightly together, and she felt that this was outrageous.

How could a mother treat her own daughter like this? Such blatant favoritism towards sons over daughters!

The anchor's expression is so serious; something big must have happened!

So what did the chocolate say?

Fried Ice Cream was also a little nervous. She had watched many of Jiang Yuan's live streams, and this situation must mean that something bad had happened.

Thinking of this, she felt a sudden tightness in her heart, as if her heart was being gripped by an invisible hand, and it began to beat rapidly and anxiously.

"Yuan Yuan, Chocolate..." the fried ice cream asked cautiously, "Who is Chocolate insulting?"

Jiang Yuan relaxed her brow and said softly, "They are your family, people who are very important to you."

"Could it be my dad?" the fried ice cream guessed.

Jiang Yuan shook her head. "It's your mother."

"My mom?" Fried Ice Cream's eyes widened in surprise. "How is that possible? My mom is very good to me."

Hearing this, Chocolate shook its fluffy head and sighed, "Silly Qiqi, that's all fake, you've been fooled!"

Jiang Yuan met the girl's incredulous gaze and slowly said, "Qiqi, have you been back in your hometown these past few days preparing for a blind date?"

“Yes.” Fried Ice Cream nodded. “I haven’t been in a relationship yet, and this year is my birth year in the Chinese zodiac, so my parents started to get anxious and urged me to find someone. My mom, in particular, is very dedicated to this matter. This blind date was arranged by her.”

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow nonchalantly: "Have you ever thought about why your mother goes to such lengths to arrange blind dates for you?"

“My mom explained it to me.” Fried Ice Cream relaxed, a slight smile playing on her lips. “She said that girls should be selective while they’re young, otherwise when they’re thirty, they’ll only be chosen by men.”

[Um, I feel offended as a 32-year-old single woman!] [Girl, your mother's words are both right and wrong. Establishing a relationship between a man and a woman is a two-way selection process. It doesn't mean that you can't be selective after you turn 30.]

Your mom is using manipulative tactics on you.

[Her mother must not be doing this for her own good, otherwise Chocolate wouldn't be cursing at her mother.]

Jiang Yuan noticed that when Fried Ice Cream mentioned her mother, her eyes were full of dependence and trust.

She pursed her lips. "Qiqi, you seem to be very dependent on your mother?"

"Yes." The fried ice cream's expression brightened. "My mom is very good to me, even better than my dad!"

Jiang Yuan always felt that it was strange for her to compare how good her mother was to her by comparing her father to her father.

She thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "You feel that your mother treats you better. Is it possible that your father keeps his concern for you to himself and doesn't express it directly?"

“Yuan Yuan,” the fried ice cream said seriously, “Actually, my mother is not my biological mother. When I was two years old, my biological mother ran away with someone else. My father didn’t marry my mother until I was five years old.”

It's quite impressive that your stepmother has left such a good impression on you.

[Don't rush to praise her, upstairs. I feel there's more to it than meets the eye. Chocolate must have discovered her stepmother's dark side to scold her.]

So she's my stepmother.

That would explain why she treated the fried ice cream that way.

Jiang Yuan suddenly felt much lighter and less burdened.

She looked at the girl on the screen and said gently, "Qiqi, your mother's urging you to get married isn't because she cares about you."

"Huh?" Fried Ice Cream was stunned. "Not because she cares about me? Impossible. My mom is really good to me. Every time I go back to work, she prepares a lot of food for me to take with me. She also calls me often to remind me to eat on time and always sends me food."

Is there some misunderstanding...? This stepmother sounds really nice.

I still stand by my initial opinion: stepmothers are not good people.

Jiang Yuan said helplessly, "Qiqi, you've sent a lot of money home after you got your salary, haven't you?"

The fried ice cream vendor explained, "I used to give my family five thousand dollars a month, but last year, because I bought a car and had to pay the car loan, I reduced it to two thousand dollars a month."

Jiang Yuan: "It's like this, Chocolate overheard your stepmother chatting with her family, saying that you're not willing to send money home anymore and you're still occupying a room in the house. She wants you to get married so that the room can be vacated for your younger brother."

The fried ice cream's eyelashes fluttered, a look of astonishment creeping across its face, and it murmured unconsciously, "What..."

[It turns out the stepmother was only nice to the ice cream shop for money.]

Now they think she doesn't earn enough money, they don't like her anymore, and they want to marry her off so they can make room for their son.

I fear people who smile while harboring malice the most!

I knew stepmothers weren't good people.

Looking at the comments, Fried Ice Cream felt completely lost, her eyes slightly reddening, and her voice trembling with tears: "Did Chocolate mishear me?"

Chocolate's fur bristled instantly, its whiskers trembled with anger, and its orange-yellow eyes widened. "Qiqi, you're an idiot! Meow, I heard you right! Meow, I heard you perfectly clearly!"

"Chocolate didn't mishear me." Jiang Yuan said calmly, "Your stepmother said she was good to you, but only because of her reputation and face. Also, the five thousand yuan you sent her every month has now been reduced to two thousand yuan, which she doesn't care about at all. Besides, her two sons have grown up and want to have their own rooms, but there are only three rooms in the house, so she can only let you get married."
