He waved goodbye to Jiang Muxuan and Jiang Muren, refraining from saying anything, and turned to get into the car with his second brother.

Just before the car was about to leave, Jiang Muxuan called out in a deep voice, "Little sister, go back. No matter how much the Jiang family begs for mercy, as long as it is found that they really harmed Father and Mother, then there is no need to show any mercy."

Jiang Yuyan understood her elder brother's meaning and nodded.

The older brother meant that she should disregard the relationship between the Jiang family and their family, and let them go just because they begged for mercy.

Even if he didn't say anything, Jiang Yuyan didn't plan to go to the Jiang family this time. She found them disgusting and hateful, always watching her like rats in the gutter.

It's so fast to have a ride; in less than thirty minutes, Ling Wenchen got them to the train station.

Jiang Yuyan got out of the car. "Brother Wenchen, thank you so much this time. Next time you're free, I'll treat you and Brother Lin to a meal. Don't refuse me!"

Ling Wenchen chuckled, "Alright, I'll wait until you've finished everything and then I'll treat you to a big meal with Shi Ping."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Jiang Yuyan watched Ling Wenchen's car drive away before quickly leading Jiang Muyi into the station.

Because they arrived at the perfect time and had little luggage, they squeezed in the moment the train doors opened before the crowd could react.

Upon arriving at the hard sleeper compartment according to the tickets, Jiang Yuyan discovered that Ling Wenchen's friend had bought sleeper tickets with adjacent upper and lower berths, making it more convenient for the siblings.

Jiang Muyi put the luggage away. "Little sister, you can go upstairs now."

There were too many people, and he felt it was too unsafe for his younger sister to sleep in the lower bunk; he wasn't comfortable with that.

Jiang Yuyan nodded and quickly climbed onto the upper bunk. Just as she sat down, the other two passengers in the sleeper berths came in: an elderly man wearing glasses and a young man.

The young man helped the elderly man up, muttering, "Grandpa, I told you not to take the train. It's crowded and dirty. You definitely wouldn't be comfortable living in this environment. If something happens along the way, my dad will kill me."

The old man smiled broadly, looking kind and gentle, but what he said almost choked Jiang Yuyan to death.

"If you don't shut up now, you don't even need your dad to kill you; I can beat you to death right now, you believe me?"

The young man's lips twitched involuntarily. "Believe it, of course I believe it. Even if you retired from the army and went to work in a research institute, you'd still be better off than me. You could chase me for ten miles with a stick and beat me up."

A soft chuckle caught the attention of the two women, who met Jiang Yuyan's eyes as she covered her mouth and trembled, trying to suppress her laughter.

The old man softened his voice, showing none of the seriousness he would have when speaking to his grandson, "Young man, feel free to laugh if you want. Anyway, my grandson is nothing but stupid and makes a fool of himself."

"Grandpa! I didn't—"

The old man glared at his grandson, who was about to retort, and smiled at Jiang Yuyan, "Young comrade, my name is Zhou Hong, and this is my grandson Zhou Zhiguo. We are planning to go to Hua Province."

Jiang Yuyan was surprised, not expecting it to be such a coincidence that she was going the same way as them.

"Hello Mr. Zhou, my name is Jiang Yuyan, and the man below is my second brother, Jiang Muyi. We are also going to Hua Province."

Zhou Hong sized up the two siblings from the Jiang family. He was astonished to see Jiang Muyi constantly handing water to Jiang Yuyan and giving her food, seemingly without a moment's rest. The image of a diligent little nanny stunned Zhou Zhiguo, who was standing next to him.

"You... Jiang Yuyan is really your sister and not your wife?" Zhou Zhiguo asked naively.

Jiang Muyi's expression froze for a moment before he managed to suppress the urge to roll his eyes.

"Which eye of yours saw that my little sister is my wife? Are you blind? Besides, my little sister is still young. Is it polite of you to say that?"

If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Zhou and his younger sister were talking, he would have wanted to verbally abuse that idiot Zhou Zhiguo to death.

What the hell? How did his little sister become his wife? What kind of eyesight does that?

Zhou Zhiguo was unconvinced and was about to say something when, with a loud slap, he was slapped on the back of the head by the old man.

"You brat, are you out of your mind? It's one thing to be stupid, but now even your eyes are so scary. Don't tell anyone you're from the Zhou family when you go out. I'd be ashamed. Go fetch some water. I hate seeing you."

Old Mr. Zhou, who had ruthlessly driven his grandson away, apologized to the Jiang siblings and sighed.

"I'm so sorry, my grandson has been spoiled by his mother. He's mentally ill but doesn't realize it. I thought he was getting better all these years, but I didn't expect him to still be so stupid. Sigh, it seems there's really no saving him from being mentally ill."

Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but laugh. The old man was really scolding his grandson like a grandson, without any politeness.

Since that's what they said, there's nothing Jiang Muyi can do no matter how angry she is, but she doesn't give Zhou Zhiguo a friendly look when he returns.

The train started moving, but Jiang Yuyan couldn't sleep. She lay there thinking about the Jiang family's affairs and how to capture Jiang Song. Although she didn't know much, she at least had some clues.

Someone gently nudged her. "Little sister, are you awake? Eat something before you go back to sleep."

When Jiang Yuyan came downstairs, she saw two steaming hot lunchboxes, and hers even had an extra fragrant chicken leg. Her heart warmed.

"Second brother, you should eat more too. You need to conserve your strength so you can deal with those guys."

As she spoke, she placed the large chicken leg on Jiang Muyi's lunchbox before quickly lifting the lunchbox to prevent him from taking it back.

Jiang Muyi: "..."

Helpless, he said, "Sit down and eat, I won't touch you."

Afterwards, she ate quietly, even finishing all the rice she hadn't eaten, which surprised Zhou Zhiguo once again.

With a "smack," he slapped him on the forehead again. "What are you looking at, you brat? Those two siblings have a good relationship. Do you think it's you and your sister? You two are always arguing or fighting, never a moment of peace. I don't know what sins our Zhou family committed in our past lives."

Zhou Zhiguo didn't dare to say a word, but he thought to himself, "Is my family alright? If you saw my second uncle's family, you'd want to die even more."

Two days later, the train arrived in Hua Province.

Jiang Yuyan followed closely behind her second brother. The two of them struggled to squeeze out, their clothes and hair getting all messed up.

Without time to tidy up, they hurriedly ran to the place where the oxcarts of the brigade that smelled of excrement were parked. Only when they saw familiar faces did they finally relax.

After confirming the oxcart's return time, Jiang Yuyan didn't get on. Instead, she pulled Jiang Muyi aside and whispered...

"Second brother, let's go to the textile factory first and see if Jiang Song is there. If he's not there, then we'll go to the police station."

"Okay!" Jiang Muyi believed that whatever his younger sister said, he would do as she said and couldn't hold her back.

The gate of the textile factory.

"Uncle, is Jiang Song here? We are his relatives. We came here today to ask him to go back with us."

The gatekeeper looked up and said in a nonchalant tone, "Jiang Song, right? He wanted to take half a month off, but the factory manager wouldn't approve it. He's just a temporary worker, but he's pretty tough. He quit and took his family back with him."

Jiang Yuyan's eyes turned cold as she met Jiang Muyi's gaze, both seeing anger in each other's eyes.
