Although Liu Cui's family did not have much money, they lived together harmoniously and took care of one another. Back then, Liu Cui wanted to marry Tan Shi because he was nice to her and loved her very much. Even though he had a lot of issues, she was not thwarted. She believed that over time, she could change him.

Even if Tan Shi let her down in the end, she still had her brothers to protect her! She was not afraid of being bullied by the Tan family!
The next day, before dawn, the Tan family woke up to prepare the food. They took out all the best stuff they had and even went to borrow some good wine from other people.
Tan Jing dressed up very nicely and made her way to the Tan family's new house. The courtyard in front of her was three times larger than the old one and the house was built in a western style. It was obvious that they had spent a lot of money on it. Even the main door had changed, from a broken fenced door to a proper iron gate.
"Elder Sister is here!" Tan Shi pointed at the door and shouted.
Jiang Yi rushed out of the house and hugged Tan Jing. She even said a little tearfully, "My child! It's really been hard on you! Your brother has already told us how those assholes from the Huang family treated you! It's good that you're back. Once you're home, no one will bully you anymore."
Tan Jing patted Jiang Yi's back expressionlessly. In this place, she would probably be eaten up without any crumbs. This house was like a blood-sucking den where no one could leave unscathed.
"Don't keep hugging her. It's windy outside. Let's go in and eat," Tan Bo said.
"I'm too excited! I have forgotten everything! Come in! I have made all your favorite food today!" Jiang Yi pulled Tan Jing into the house.
There was really a lot of food and it was even more grand than during the new year celebrations. She had cooked a total of 12 dishes! However, most of these dishes were food that Tan Jing did not like. Jiang Yi had a hard time trying her best to recall what Tan Jing liked to eat when she was young.
"Elder Sister, let's drink!" Tan Shi filled up the wine glass and handed it to Tan Jing. She did not say anything and just poured the wine on the floor. Everyone present looked unhappy.
Pouring wine on the floor was a toast to the dead! Tan Jing was cursing them!
"I have brought the medicinal wine that the Xia family gave to curry favor with the Huang family. Let's drink it to nourish ourselves," Tan Jing said with a smile.
"I see! Then change out the wine! Hurry!" Jiang Yi quickly called out to Tan Shi.
Tan Shi refilled the glasses one by one. When it was Liu Cui's turn, Tan Jing quickly stopped him, saying, "Wait, she can't drink this wine."
"Elder Sister... Elder Sister, do you have a problem with me?" Liu Cui asked as she suppressed the anger inside.
"That's not it. You have a rosy complexion and look to be in good health. This wine is very nutritious. If you get over-nourished, you'll bleed from all seven orifices," Tan Jing said.
Liu Cui came to a realization and said, "I see! Then I'll drink water! Anyway, someone has to do the cleaning up later!"
"Then I won't drink as well. I'll do the cleaning up with her," Tan Shi said with a silly smile as he poured the wine for the rest. Liu Cui had a blissful expression on her face.
When it was Tan Jing's turn, she covered the wine glass with her hand and said, "I'll just drink some water. I still have to go to a business meeting after this. I still have medicinal wine at home. This bottle is for you."
"Right, right, right! Give it to me! Your father and I will drink more!" Jiang Yi could not stop smiling, as if the medicinal wine in front of her was an elixir for immortality.
Everyone had a good time during the meal. Tan Jing also had a rare smile on her face. Before she left, she asked the driver to send the gifts she brought to the various family members' houses. Most of the items were food and were things which the Tan family had never seen before.
When Liu Cui returned home, she felt that something was wrong. Why was she not allowed to drink? Could it really be because she was in good health? Her family also had wine made with medicinal herbs at home. Her father would drink a glass every meal and said that it could extend his life.
"Your elder sister is really a strange person," Liu Cui said.
"That's true! My elder sister is a very moody person! But she's in a good mood today! She
usually doesn't come back to see us," Tan Shi said as he mopped the floor.
"Don't mop the floor first. Cut some watermelon for me," Liu Cui said.
"Watermelon? When do we have watermelon? I thought I only bought oranges?" Tan Shi asked curiously.
"Elder Sister brought it with her. Go quickly!" Liu Cui said anxiously.
"Wait for me to finish mopping the floor first. I'm almost done," Tan Shi said.
Liu Cui touched her stomach and said, "Alright, you can let your son wait."
"What! Son!" Tan Shi looked at Liu Cui in surprise. After confirming that Liu Cui was not joking with him, he rushed over excitedly and picked Liu Cui up. "You're pregnant?"
"Yes, you're going to become a father," Liu Cui said blissfully.
