The only one in the entire family who really cares for Jiang Lai is Jiang Hai, the cook.
But one ironclad rule of this novel is that anyone who doesn't hold the female lead in the palm of their hand is either an antagonist or cannon fodder.
So Jiang Hai, like Jiang Lai, both father and daughter are the ultimate cannon fodder, doomed by fate.
Shen Yaoyao's younger brother was brought over in the third year after she came to the Jiang family.
The siblings settled permanently in the Jiang household. In an era where everyone struggled to get enough to eat, raising their own four children was already hard enough, and now there were two more.
Jiang Hai wasn't particularly generous, so he hoped the good food and drink he brought home could first go to his own children.
But each time, his three sons would all save the rare treats for Shen Yaoyao.
Especially Shen Yan, who hoarded everything Jiang Hai brought back. Most of it ended up in the stomachs of the Shen siblings.
