The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

However, things didn't happen in two days as Jiang Yuyan's brother had told them; instead, the police came to notify them the very next afternoon.

"...Officer, do you mean my son can come back?" Jiang's mother covered her mouth in disbelief.

"Yes, among the thieves caught from your house, there were criminals that our police have wanted to catch for a long time."

He initially didn't want to hire anyone, but our team happened to have someone very professional in this area, so we quickly got someone to speak up.

"Thank you so much—" Jiang's mother was so excited that she could hardly speak, and kept nodding and grasping the police officer's hand.

Jiang Yuyan quickly spoke up, "Mother, the police officer still has work to do, you should let him go."

The police officer withdrew his hand, secretly relieved, and quickly rode away on his bicycle.

In the lobby, the whole family gathered together, and even Jiang Muxuan was pushed over by Jiang Muren.

Jiang Yuyan: "Mother, this is a happy occasion, why are you crying? People who don't know better will think something bad has happened to our family again."

Outside, the Jiang family has been demonized in many ways.

What, that the Jiang family attracts unclean things? What, that the Jiang family is causing Old Lady Jiang to die, and that no one is breaking the pot, etc.?

Thinking of the expressions the villagers had been giving their family lately, Jiang's mother hesitated for a moment, then laughed.

"Okay, okay, your second brother is coming back. We should go and pick him up. He's been suffering inside."

Whenever she thought of her second son suffering inside, her eyes would well up with tears, but she forced herself to hold them back in front of her daughter.

Jiang Yuyan helped her sit down and winked playfully on purpose.

"Of course, so that my second brother can see it as soon as possible. Our family is getting better and better, and we won't have to worry about not having money to spend in the future."

"We should discuss who will pick up Mu Yi tomorrow?" Jiang Muxuan said calmly.

The next day.

Jiang Muyi, dressed in tattered clothes that barely covered his arms and so dirty that his original color was unrecognizable, looked back at the place where he had been imprisoned for more than ten days with a complicated expression.

"Second Brother!"

Jiang Muyi turned around and saw Jiang Muren and his newly returned younger sister Jiang Yuyan, who were already standing opposite the police station waiting for him to come out.

Jiang Muren ran over quickly and jumped onto Jiang Muyi, beaming with a bright smile.

"Second brother, you're finally out! We missed you so much, waaaaah!"

Jiang Muyi blinked his sore eyes, hugged his third brother tightly, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

He patted him hard on the back. "You brat, are you trying to crush your second brother the moment we meet? Get up! You're such a wimp, a grown man crying like this—"

Jiang Muren stood up, chuckling and muttering, "Still the second brother I know, hehe!"

Then he pulled Jiang Yuyan, who had been standing silently to the side, to the front. "Second brother, this is our little sister, Jiang Yuyan. Little sister, this is our fearless second brother—"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Muyi slapped him on the head. "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Haven't seen you for a few days and you're itching for a beating?"

"Hehe, no, no. Second brother, your little sister is watching, you have to give me some face."

"You brat, what face do you have? Get out of here!"

Brushing aside his idiot third brother who was blocking his view, Jiang Muyi walked up to Jiang Yuyan and looked her up and down with sharp eyes, without thinking that doing so might be disliked.

Jiang Yuyan smiled as she looked him over, feeling slightly nervous but not annoyed by his gaze.

Jiang Muyi quickly looked away, his gaze softening as he looked at her. "I heard it was you who provided the police with the clues, which is why I came out so quickly?"

Jiang Yuyan shrugged. "Second Brother, wasn't I just following your instructions and leaving clues for the police? How can you say it's all my doing?"

Jiang Muyi threw his head back and laughed, his eyes filled with admiration. "I like you, girl. You're genuine. Although I don't know why you gave up the city to come back to the countryside, I'm grateful for what you've done for my family!"

One thing at a time, that's just how he is.

Jiang Yuyan raised the corners of her mouth, reached out to him, slowly approached, and carefully hugged him. She felt him stiffen instantly, then whispered in his ear...

"Second Brother, welcome home!"

Jiang Muyi: "....."

My third brother just said he didn't feel anything.

The new sister only whispered "Welcome home," but even someone as strong as Jiang Muyi felt his eyes welling up with tears.

"Hey? Second Brother! You're crying??" Jiang Muren exclaimed in shock.

Without thinking, Jiang Muyi buried his head in Jiang Yuyan's shoulder, only realizing something was wrong afterward and quickly pulled away.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat? Who said I cried? Get lost!"

After saying that, Jiang Muyi strode forward, his back view looking like he was fleeing in panic.

Jiang Yuyan and Jiang Muren looked at each other, then covered their mouths and chuckled in unison, deciding not to expose their 'shy' second brother.

As he walked down the street, passersby would cover their noses and mouths and hurry past him, their eyes filled with disgust as if he were something dirty.

Jiang Yuyan noticed her second brother's tense expression and saw him awkwardly distancing himself from them. She glanced at the expressions of the passersby and instantly understood.

She lowered her eyes, walked quickly to Jiang Muyi's side, and grasped his clenched fist, which had turned white.

"Second brother, there's still time. Shall we go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy you some clothes? Look at you, you send all your money home from work, yet your clothes are so tattered. If Mom and Dad saw this, they'd be heartbroken."

Upon hearing this, passersby paused in their hurried steps, their gazes towards Jiang Muyi now filled with pity and admiration.

An elderly woman passing by patted Jiang Muyi on the shoulder.

"Good boy, good boy, buy some clothes, otherwise your parents will be heartbroken. Even I, a stranger, feel sorry for you seeing you like this."

Jiang Muyi: "..." Why did he suddenly feel sorry for him?

Jiang Muyi followed Jiang Yuyan in a daze, but when he came to his senses, he understood everything and raised an eyebrow with a smile.

This girl—is definitely different from that ingrate Jiang Yue.

Upon arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Jiang Yuyan glanced around and saw that although the space was small, it was well-equipped.

Seeing the fabric on the shelf, he said, "Second brother, which color do you like? Choose one and let Mom make it for you."

Jiang Muyi didn't react immediately. "You...you really want me to choose? Aren't you going to pick one first?"

"I don't need it. My eldest brother—uh, no, the one who supports the family—bought me a lot of clothes. That's enough. Second brother, you can buy them for me."

Jiang Muyi's eyes darkened slightly. It seemed that this girl had a pretty good relationship with the eldest brother of that family!

While he was lost in thought, someone gently poked his arm, and he looked over.

"Second brother, I saw some meat for sale. I'll go buy some meat first. We're out of oil at home, so I want to buy some fat to render oil."

Jiang Muyi took a deep breath, dismissing the thought, and said helplessly, "Go ahead, I can handle things here."

It's just choosing a fabric, what's there to worry about?

He's so young and thinks so much, no wonder he doesn't grow tall.

Jiang Yuyan was unaware that her second brother was worried she would be a short person who wouldn't grow tall. Right now, all she could see was meat, meat, meat... Here I come.

"Uncle, I want twenty pounds of fatty meat."

"Alright, the hostage's ready, I'll weigh you right away!"

Jiang Yuyan: "??????" Hostage?
