Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2304 - 2240: What About When the Man Is Seven Years Older?

Certain things in this world simply cannot be compromised or shared—items like toothbrushes, intimate garments, and men.

Therefore, if the Gao, Lu, and Long families truly intend to oppose Li Hanzhong, she and Meng Xinian must prepare themselves accordingly.

Who is afraid of whom?

Regardless of the circumstances, she is certain that this life will not end as miserably as her previous one.

Even if death comes, she will not perish in loneliness and desolation.

"Are you referring to that girl from the Long Family?"

Old Yang remarked, "I am not acquainted with the girl personally, but I certainly know of the Long Family. Speaking of which..."

He cast a quick look toward his wife.

Aunt Yang pouted with a hint of childishness.

Chiang Xiao instantly sensed that something was unusual about this situation.

As expected, Aunt Yang picked up the thread of the conversation, saying, "Years ago, when your 'Big Master' was still a young man, there was also a girl from the Long Family who intended to marry him. She even tracked me down the day before our wedding, claiming I wasn't good enough for him because I was three years his senior. She called me shameless for marrying him and told me to back off. Those Long Family girls are certainly arrogant and quite formidable."

Chiang Xiao was left speechless.

To think such a story actually existed.

Old Yang gave a small laugh, patting his wife’s shoulder as he said, "Didn’t I explain it to you back then? As the saying goes, 'A woman three years older is a golden brick.' I thought it was quite wonderful."

Aunt Yang gave a light, playful huff.

Meng Xinian happened to walk out just as those words were spoken, catching Chiang Xiao’s eyes as she glanced his way.

His heart gave a sudden throb.

What was the meaning of that look?

"If 'a woman three years older is a golden brick,' then what do you say about a man who is seven years older?" he inquired quickly.

"Pfft!"

Chiang Xiao could not stop herself from laughing out loud.

There wasn't exactly a traditional saying for a man being seven years older, was there?

Old Yang and Aunt Yang were briefly stunned before they also joined in the laughter.

"A man seven years older should simply take excellent care of his young wife," Old Yang remarked with a grin.

Meng Xinian looked at Chiang Xiao and said, "Well, that is certainly not an issue."

"Not an issue? Then I would love to know who it was that attracted so many admirers and then left them all for me to deal with." Chiang Xiao threw him a sharp look.

Meng Xinian replied with immediate innocence, "Isn't that because you instructed me not to speak to them?"

"If you had physically dragged them away, I promise I wouldn't be upset."

"No way. I refuse to have any physical contact with other women. Even if you weren't angry, I still wouldn't do it," Meng Xinian stated with total seriousness.

"Hahaha!" Old Yang and Aunt Yang laughed joyfully at the exchange.

Meanwhile, Long Xiaocai descended the stairs with her teeth clenched, packing her belongings in preparation to depart.

Sister-in-law Chen and Chen Yujun returned to find her ready to leave. Swallowing his irritation and taking a steadying breath, Chen Yujun said to Long Xiaocai, "Little Cai, don't let it get to you. I’ll introduce you to someone else—I guarantee he is every bit as good as Great Officer Meng!"

"You?"

Long Xiaocai looked at him with a trace of contempt.

Sister-in-law Chen immediately felt that the girl's gaze was dangerous. Was she truly so offended that she planned to put Chen Yujun on her hit list?

She spoke up quickly, "Little Cai, Old Chen isn't just making things up. You know Director Wei, don't you? His nephew is the Supervisor Guard of the Maritime Alliance District—what was his name again? He truly isn't inferior to Great Officer Meng! I've seen him; he's incredibly handsome! I heard his standards are so high that he hasn't found a partner yet. I believe the two of you would be a match made in heaven!"

"Are you talking about Wei Yixi?" Long Xiaocai paused, hesitating.

"Yes, yes, that’s the one," Sister-in-law Chen nodded rapidly.
