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 shared or compromised upon, such as one's toothbrush, intimate attire, and most importantly, men.

Consequently, if the Gao, Lu, and Long families truly intend to oppose Li Hanzhong, then she and Meng Xinian must prepare themselves for the fallout.

Who is afraid of whom?

Regardless of the obstacles, she is certain that her life this time will not be as wretched as her previous existence.

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

"Are you referring to that young lady from the Long Family?"

Old Yang remarked, "I am not acquainted with the girl personally, but if you mention the Long Family, I am naturally aware of them. Speaking of which..."

He stole a glance toward his wife.

Aunt Yang pouted with a touch of childishness.

Chiang Xiao instantly sensed that there was a hidden story behind this reaction.

Sure enough, Aunt Yang took over the conversation, saying, "Years ago, when your 'Big Master' was still a young man, there was also a girl from the Long Family who desperately wanted 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 give up. Those girls from the Long Family are certainly arrogant and quite formidable."

Chiang Xiao was left speechless.

She never imagined such a history existed.

Old Yang gave a light chuckle and patted his wife’s shoulder, saying, "Didn’t I explain it all to you back then? As the saying goes, 'A woman three years older is like a golden brick.' I thought it was a wonderful thing."

Aunt Yang spat lightly in mock annoyance.

Meng Xinian happened to step out just in time to overhear that sentence, catching Chiang Xiao's eye as she glanced his way.

His heart gave a sudden throb.

What was the meaning behind that look?

"'A woman three years older is a golden brick,' so what is the saying for a man who is seven years older?" he asked hurriedly.

"Pfft!"

Chiang Xiao could not stop herself from erupting into laughter.

Is there even a traditional saying for a man being seven years older?

Old Yang and Aunt Yang were momentarily startled before they also broke into loud laughter.

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

Meng Xinian turned his gaze toward Chiang Xiao. "Well, that is certainly not an issue."

"Not an issue? Then I would love to know who it was that attracted so many admirers, only to leave them for me to deal with," Chiang Xiao said, shooting him a sharp look.

Meng Xinian immediately responded with an innocent expression, "Isn't that only 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 declared with total seriousness.

"Hahaha," Old Yang and Aunt Yang laughed with genuine delight.

Elsewhere, Long Xiaocai descended the stairs while gritting her teeth, packing her belongings in preparation to depart.

When Sister-in-law Chen and Chen Yujun returned and saw her about to leave, Chen Yujun suppressed his irritation. Taking a deep breath, he said to Long Xiaocai, "Little Cai, don't let it get to you. I'll introduce you to someone else—I guarantee he's every bit as good as Great Officer Meng!"

"You?"

Long Xiaocai looked at him with a hint of contempt.

Sister-in-law Chen immediately felt that the look in her eyes was dangerous. Was it possible she was truly resentful toward them and intended to put Chen Yujun on her hit list?

She quickly chimed in, "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 really is no less impressive than Great Officer Meng! I've seen him before; he's very handsome! I heard he has very high standards, which is why he hasn't found a partner yet. I believe you and him would truly be a match made in heaven!"

"Are you talking about Wei Yixi?" Long Xiaocai asked, hesitating for a moment.

"Yes, yes, that's the one," Sister-in-law Chen nodded quickly.
