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

"...Exhale, inhale, big brother, just a few more steps, yes, hang in there, see this line? Once you reach this line, today's task is complete, keep going—"

Jiang Yuyan looked at Jiang Muxuan, who was covered in sweat and slowly walking towards her step by step, with an encouraging look.

Jiang Muxuan glanced at the line his younger sister had mentioned, which was only a step or two away from being crossed, gritted his teeth, and lifted his trembling legs to step across—

Arrived!

"Wow, you're amazing, big brother! You've made even more progress in your rehabilitation today. You're always exceeding your goals. You're incredible!"

Jiang Yuyan jumped up and quickly helped him into the wheelchair, then gave him a towel to wipe his sweat and give him water.

After drinking the water, Jiang Muxuan finally felt alive again. Hearing his younger sister's words, he couldn't help but smile.

"Brother, let me massage your legs, and then I'll apply a hot towel to them so your legs won't shake anymore."

Looking at the young woman earnestly massaging his legs, Jiang Muxuan sighed inwardly once again, thinking that his little sister was an angel sent to save their family.

If it weren't for her, the Jiang family would have fallen apart long ago.

"Little sister, have you been sleeping poorly lately?"

Without him even asking, everyone could see that the dark circles under Jiang Yuyan's eyes were getting worse. When asked what was on her mind, she would just smile and say no, and that she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

"Huh? I didn't sleep badly. Why do you say that, brother?"

What Jiang Yuyan didn't say was that, for some reason, ever since she came back a few days ago, she's been having nightmares every time she goes to sleep.

The key point is that this "nightmare" always starts out very pleasant, but every time it comes to an end, a huge black snake appears with its mouth wide open, pouncing as if it wants to swallow her whole.

She was so frightened that she would wake up every time. Every time she woke up, her heart would pound so hard that it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

However, there was definitely nothing wrong with her.

Because she eats and drinks well, and apart from sleeping poorly, everything else is much better than her life in the Lin family.

Jiang Muxuan stroked her hair. "Your dark circles are a bit heavy. Are you having trouble sleeping? Or are you like your third brother, with something weighing on your mind that's keeping you awake?"

Jiang Yuyan was taken aback. "I...I'm not holding anything back, uh—"

She realized that, apart from herself trying to hide it, everyone else could tell from her face that she couldn't sleep.

What is there for her to hide? It's a fact that everyone except her knows.

Reluctantly sitting next to Jiang Muxuan, she thought for a moment and decided to tell him about her dream.

"...That's it. I was just woken up by a nightmare. If you're a little timid, it's really nothing serious."

Jiang Muxuan, however, was thinking more deeply. "Little sister, do you mean you've been having the same dream for several days in a row?"

Jiang Yuyan nodded obediently, "Yes, let's start from when my second brother and I come to Beijing. Big brother, is there a problem with that?"

"In our family, we have a saying that if someone has the same dream for several days in a row, it means that the dream is a warning or hint to that person. If you interpret the dream, you can know what the dream is telling you."

Jiang Yuyan blinked innocently, "Big brother, with flowers and snakes involved, how can you tell what kind of clue it is?"

Jiang Muxuan chuckled awkwardly, "It's nothing, maybe I was overthinking it. It's good that you're alright, little sister. Shouldn't we go check on our third brother at the shop later?"

What he didn't say was that in the countryside, there's a saying that if a pregnant woman dreams of snakes, it means she's likely having a boy.

However, Jiang Muxuan thought this was definitely nonsense.

His younger sister doesn't even have a boyfriend, how could she possibly be involved with a pregnant woman?

Jiang Yuyan had no idea what her eldest brother was thinking. "Well, we'll go to the shop to see Third Brother later, and then go to the garment factory to check on their progress. If there are no problems, we can pick up the goods in a couple of days."

When she arrived at the shop, the workers inside were working hard, and even her third brother had his face covered in black smear.

Jiang Yuyan felt sorry for him and called him out, "Third Brother, how did you get yourself into this state? Didn't you say you were here to supervise the construction? Why are you doing it yourself?"

He bent down to brush the dust off Jiang Muren's clothes, and Jiang Muren chuckled sheepishly.

"I'm not tired. I can learn something from those experienced workers, and doing odd jobs is quite nice."

He just wanted to get it done as soon as possible, start work as soon as possible, and earn money to buy a house for his younger sister.

"Alright, alright, are you hungry? Shall we go find somewhere to eat?"

Actually, she was hungry. She had only walked this short distance when she felt extremely hungry and wanted to eat something. She was really craving something.

While Jiang Yuyan was eating, Ling Wenchen was also called home, but not for dinner, but for a blind date.

"Mom, you said you urgently called me back because of something, is it because of this?"

Seeing a young, unfamiliar woman sitting in the living room, Ling Wenchen immediately realized that his mother's "affair" was not simple.

Ling's mother pulled her son to sit down and introduced him to the woman opposite her with a smile.

"Come here, son, this is Dean Wu's granddaughter, Wu Jingjing. Jingjing, this is my son, Ling Wenchen. You two are about the same age, you should have things to talk about—"

Before Wu Jingjing could speak, Ling Wenchen suddenly stood up and headed for the door without saying a word.

"stop!"

Ling Wenchen stopped, but showed no intention of turning around, which almost made his mother furious.

"Ling Wenchen, if you dare to walk out of this door today, don't ever come back. I'll pretend I never had a son like you."

Ling Wenchen exuded a chill. After a long while, he turned around and, expressionless, politely addressed the woman on the sofa.

"Comrade Wu, I'm very sorry about what happened today. My mother made this decision on her own, and I had no idea about it. Please go back first; I have something to say to her."

Wu Jingjing's blushing expression immediately turned cold and embarrassed. She hurriedly apologized to Ling's mother and left in a hurry.

Ling's mother covered her forehead. "Ling Wenchen, how could I have given birth to such a heartless son? Huh? How many times is this already? Do you even want to get married anymore?"

Ling Wenchen sat opposite her and sighed deeply. "Mom, I—have someone I like..."

Ling's mother suddenly sat up straight, the fake tears vanishing instantly, her expression changing with lightning speed.

"What? Did you just say you have someone you like? Or am I hallucinating?"

"Cough cough, no, I don't know if I like her, I just care about her a lot and want to pay attention to her all the time. If she's in pain, I'll feel bad too."

Ling's mother's lips twitched involuntarily.

This brat has a crush on that woman, but he doesn't even realize it.

Why are you talking about feeling uncomfortable or not? You clearly care, yet you say you don't know. How could she have given birth to such a stupid blockhead?

Ling Wenchen noticed her strange gaze and frowned. "Mom, what's with that look?"
