“Nonsense! That couldn’t be true! Jin Weiwei? The silly country girl? How could Qian listen to her? You kidding me!” Jin Xiaodie totally disbelieves that. “You haven’t known yet that Jin Weiwei has been changed! Jin Weiwei, skilled and strong-willed, invents a kind of sausage, the Sausage of Jin’s Family, which is so delicious and popular that Qian is willing to accept all the requirement that she proposes in order to get the exclusive selling right of her sausage.”

“Who would have thought of such a thing?! says Jin Xiaodie in disbelief. She turns around and looks at Jin Dabao. “Do you know that?” Jin Xiaodie asks. Jin Dabao, hemming and hawing, tells his elder sister about the thing he encountered several days ago in Guangtong Restaurant. “Look at him! He encountered that little bastard several days ago and he even knew that Jin Weiwei threatened Qian to stop buying meat from our shop. But he mentioned nothing to us and lived his happy life as if that nothing really happened. What’s the point of raising a man like him?” shouts Jiang Qingshou angrily, banging the table.

Jin Xiaodie holds his hands to stop him banging the table. She says, “Calm down. It’s his fault. But who knows that Jin Weiwei, a silly country girl in the past who had nothing but a great strength, becomes so smart that she not only makes Jin’s Meat-shop popular and prosperous but also plans to use others to revenge us. That’s unbelievable!”

Hearing that, Jin Dabao echoes with agreement, “That’s right! Who knows that Jin Weiwei becomes so different! I thought that Qian would ignore her requirement, so I didn’t say that...How can I know that she is able to force Qian to break the business relationship with us!” “How dare you make excuses about that! It is your daughter who not only broke my arm in the past, but also break my business relationship with Qian now! You and your daughter are all people of no gratitude! If I knew it before, I would drive you out like the husband of our elder sister!” shouts Jiang Qingshou. It turns out that although Jin Dabao eloped with Widow Chen with a great sum of money, they spent all the money like water without a single penny back because of their laziness. Soon, they began to rely on the possession of Widow Chen, who was tired of Jin Dabao, a penniless man. After that, the graceful and attractive middle-aged widow soon had love affairs with a handsome young man. Then she broke up with Jin Dabao with a random excuse. Abandoned by Widow Chen, Jin Dabao decided not to return to Xingtian Village because he wanted to maintain his dignity from that scandal.

On the one hand, many villagers knew clearly about his affairs with Chen. If he returned to the village, many people would laugh at him; on the other hand, he could never live a happy life at home or maybe he would even have to earn money to support Jin Weiwei and Cao, the big burden on his shoulder.

Although Jin Dabao has no morals, he has two devoted elders sisters who spoil him and treat him as the apple in their eye. Therefore, every time he is trapped into a desperate situation, the first thing occurs to him is turning to his elder sisters for help. Then, Jin Dabao went to Jin Xiaoyan’s home, his elder sister. Seeing that her younger brother was so poor and destitute without a penny in his pocket, Jin Xiaoyan felt heartache. She soon made a very warm and tidy room for him and let him live with her family.

The husband of Jin Xiaoyan is an accountant taking charge of the financial management in a wealthy and influential family. Honest and diligent, he devotes to his work whole-heartedly. He earns the trust from his boss because he never cheats money; therefore, his boss gives him a decent salary, not too much but enough for his family living a good life. Unfortunately, Jin Xiaoyan insists on supporting her younger brother at all expenses. These years, except for the expenses of living, almost all the money left has been taken away by Jin Xiaoyan secretly to support Jin Dabao financially, so actually they do not have savings. Under such a condition, during the time Jin Dabao stayed in her home, Jin Xiaoyan still provided Jin Dabao with a comfortable and easy life there. However, he never changed himself. Relying on the love of his elder sister, Jin Dabao not only kept on living an undisciplined and indulgent life but also asked Jin Xiaoyan for money with various excuses.

One day, with the absence of Zheng Tong, the husband of Jin Xiaoyan, he came to the room of his elder sister and asked her to lend him a large sum of money for he planed to do business with his friends and he also promised that he would pay back the money with interests when he made big money. Jin Xiaoyan frowned the moment she heard that. She knew clearly about her younger brother. If she lent him the money, he would never return it. Plus, she did not have such a large sum of money to lend him at that time. So she refused him coldly.

Similarly, Jin Dabao knew his elder sister better than she did. He knew that his elder sister loved him very much. Thus, although Jin Xiaoyan refused to lend money to him, he acted up and cried to force Jin Xiaoyan to lend him the money immediately. After a long while, Jin Xiaoyan couldn’t bear it anymore, she accepted his requirement reluctantly. Jin Xiaoyan decided to trade her jewelry with some money, because she had no money to give him. However, Jin Dabao was so anxious to get the money, which made the time so limited that it would be too late for her to sell her jewelry. Under the great pressure of Jin Dabao, she was so dumb-minded that she lent the tuition fee of her son to Jin Dabao secretly.

Jin Xiaoyan thought that she could sell her jewelry out in a few days in order to make up for the money. However, the next day, the whole thing came to light. Zheng Tong together with his son took the money to pay the tuition fee. Certainly, they couldn’t find the money, so they came to ask Jin Xiaoyan. Jin Xiaoyan knew that she could keep nothing from them, she had to unveil everything to her husband and her son. Hearing that, Zheng Tong was so furious that he cursed Jin Xiaoyan and decided to drive Jin Daobao out of his home. In the past, he could accept that Jin Xiaoyan gave her younger brother some money to support him, because losing such a small amount of money would never influence their life. But now he couldn’t stand it anymore, for Jin Dabao even thought about taking away the tuition fee of his son! After being driven out from Jin Xiaoyan’s home, Jin Dabao decided to go to Jin Xiaodie’s home to make a living because most of the money cheated from Jin Xiaoyan ran out.
