The captain was furious. "Old Jiang, why aren't you taking your shameful wife back home right now?"

Old ginger?

Jiang Yuyan followed everyone's gaze and saw the dark-skinned, extremely thin old man walk through the crowd, silently pull up the old woman Jiang from the ground, and leave without looking back.

During this time, they didn't even glance at Jiang's parents, as if they were some kind of irrelevant people who weren't even strangers.

When she got home, Jiang Yuyan saw that her parents looked unwell, so she quickly told them to go and rest.

She went to Jiang Muren's room but didn't see him. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and went to her older brother's room.

"You're all here, Third Brother. I was just looking for you, but you weren't here, so I came to see Eldest Brother. I didn't expect you to all be here."

Jiang Muren quickly stood up. "Little sister, you wanted to see me? What's wrong? Tell me, your third brother will definitely help you."

With all three brothers present, Jiang Yuyan said directly, "Second brother is back, so I'd like to take eldest brother to a big city as soon as possible to treat his leg injury. What do you all think?"

Everyone agrees on this.

"Then Father doesn't need to go. Mu Ren and I will take care of Big Brother, and you—are in charge of leading the way." Jiang Muyi pointed at Jiang Yuyan.

"I agree!" Jiang Muren was the first to raise his hand.

Seeing that her elder brother remained silent, Jiang Yuyan asked, "Brother? What do you think?"

"My leg doesn't need treatment for now—"

"Big brother!"

"Big brother! Why?"

Jiang Muxuan told the two brothers to be quiet, "The family needs money everywhere right now. Take some of Yu Yan's money and give it to the family, and you keep the rest—"

Jiang Yuyan interrupted him, "Big brother! Are you saying this because we told you that second brother can't be a driver? But that's precisely why you need to heal your leg even more."

Jiang Muyi and Jiang Muren were completely confused, but they listened attentively even though they couldn't understand what they were hearing.

Jiang Muxuan instantly understood her meaning. He hesitated; he was afraid—afraid that if he went, it would still be bad news...

Jiang Yuyan noticed his wavering. "Big brother, haven't you noticed that you're sleeping better than before lately?"

Jiang Muxuan was taken aback. The topic had changed too quickly. He didn't understand what sleep had to do with what they were talking about.

"Yes—it's much better. How did you know?"

Jiang Yuyan laughed, "Big brother, haven't you noticed that your sleep has improved since you started using the plaster I made for your leg?"

Jiang Muyi and Jiang Muren stared wide-eyed at their elder brother's legs.

Jiang Muxuan: "..." These two idiots.

"I understand what you mean. Okay, I'll do as you say. Let Mu Yi and Mu Ren guide me, and you will lead the way."

"Don't worry, brother, I definitely won't let you down."

The next day.

Jiang Muyi went to town to buy a train ticket. On his way back, he encountered a train full of soldiers who asked him for directions.

"Comrade, is this the road to the 'Smell of Shit' brigade?"

Skillful!

"No, it's that side road. I'm also part of the Shit Smell Squad. I can take you there."

The soldier grinned and said, "Thank you so much, comrade. Get in, I'll give you a ride."

Upon getting into the car, Jiang Muyi saw a soldier sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, seemingly resting. He exuded a strong aura, and even with his eyes closed, he was impossible to ignore.

"Comrade, you just came from the train station, did you just get back too?"

"No, I'm buying train tickets. My younger sister and I are taking my older brother to a big city for leg treatment. I've heard that medical care is better in big cities, so we're going to give it a try."

"That's right. Dr. Lai from Beijing is an expert in treating limbs. You can go directly to him; there won't be any problems."

A look of delight flashed in Jiang Muyi's eyes. "Excuse me, soldier, which hospital in Beijing does Dr. Lai work at? How can I find him...?"

Just as the soldier was about to speak, the man in the back seat opened his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping over Jiang Muyi, instantly freezing him in place.

Recognizing his face as familiar, the man asked, "What's your name, sir?"

"Jiang Muyi".

"You—don't you have a younger sister named Lin—Jiang Yuyan who was switched at birth and just came back home?"

Jiang Muyi immediately became alert. "How do you know my little sister's name?"

"Little sister? It seems she gets along well with your family. I—I'm a comrade-in-arms of her older brother who supports her family. She suddenly disappeared, and her older brother is very worried about her."

Jiang Muyi: "....."

"Little sister, she's very good. She has a gentle and mild personality, but she's very decisive in her actions. Everyone in our family likes her very much."

Ling Wenchen could tell at a glance that the man wasn't lying, but his expression was slightly awkward when he called her "little sister".

After thinking for a moment, he gave him his and Lin Shiping's contact information, saying, "Contact us immediately if anything happens."

Fearing he might feel burdened, we said, "This is also how we take care of her sister. You can talk to her about anything; don't worry."

Since he had said that, Jiang Muyi had no choice but to accept it.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the village with the smell of excrement, Jiang Muyi got out of the car, pointed out the location of the brigade leader's office, and then left.

He had no choice but to leave; he had felt a chill run down his spine while he was in the car.

Ling Wenchen watched his retreating figure until he looked away.

"Brother Chen, we're already here, aren't you going to see your sister?"

Ling Wenchen shook his head and immediately ordered someone to drive.

When Jiang Muyi returned home, he handed Jiang Yuyan four train tickets and a large package.

Jiang Yuyan put away the train ticket, then looked at the large package on the ground with a puzzled expression. "Second Brother, what's this? Did you buy it?"

"No, these are yours. Uh, I ran into your older brother's former comrade on the way. He said your older brother bought these for you. Cough cough, do you want to open them and take a look?"

He said he didn't care, but he remained seated on the stool, keeping an eye on her movements out of the corner of his eye.

Hmph, I just wanted to know how this younger sister fared in her previous family. It seems she did quite well.

If it weren't for him, my little sister, with her size, definitely wouldn't have been able to lift that huge package.

When Jiang Yuyan heard that it was a gift from Lin Shiping, she pursed her lips, knowing that even if she sent it back to him, he wouldn't accept it.

With a small sigh, she resigned herself to her fate, picked up a pair of scissors, and opened the package, revealing a large pile of eye-catching new clothes, two big bags of White Rabbit milk candy, canned fruit, and a series of other things that you couldn't buy in small towns.

"Wow, little sister, your older brother used to be so good to you, he even bought you such precious milk candy and canned food..."

"Idiot! What's it to you? Hurry up and take care of your older brother. If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll slap your mouth shut."

Jiang Muren's mouth formed a duck's beak in fright, his expression one of utter terror, as if warning him not to do anything rash.

Jiang Yuyan smiled and said, "Third Brother, don't go yet. Take some food with you, and Second Brother, take some too. There's so much. Brother Lin must want me to share it with you. Don't be polite with him. We're all family."

Jiang Muyi's hands were stuffed with candy as he muttered, "Who's family? Humph, if it weren't for how good he is to you, I—would..."

"Hehe, I knew my second brother was good to me. Here, take some more."

At lunchtime, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang learned about their daughter's act of raising her older brother and sending him gifts, and they praised him as a kind person.

Jiang Muren said indignantly, "Hmph, he's a good person, but with those weird parents, something bad is bound to happen sooner or later."

Jiang Muyi frowned. "Idiot, what are you talking about? What happened to his parents? Did they treat Xiao—cough cough—badly?"

The dinner table fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, only then realizing that Jiang Muyi had just returned and was unaware of the inside story of the Jiang and Lin families being "swapped" at birth.

Mother Jiang: "Hey, third brother, didn't you tell your second brother? I thought you did."

Jiang Muren looked innocent. "What did I say? I still have time to say everything. I—I think I forgot to say it."

"What kind of riddle are you two playing? Third brother, you tell me."
