1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 270 Sister Leaves, Sister Leaves Too

"Yes, I saw that no one was home, so I came to my sister's place. I didn't expect you to be here too."

The daughter-in-law concentrated on eating noodles, and there was nothing unusual on her face.

My sister-in-law, on the other hand, looked a little nervous and unnatural.

He performs on stage every day, so how come his mental quality is so poor?

Xu Yuexin complained in his heart, frustrated that he had no way to remind his sister-in-law.

After his wife finished eating the noodles, Xu Yuexin washed the dishes and returned to the living room to eat melon seeds and watch TV with the two sisters.

"I want to eat watermelon."

Halfway through watching TV, his wife said to Xu Yuexin, "It's so hot, it's so comfortable to eat a watermelon."

"I'll go and buy."

Xu Yuexin quickly stood up and went downstairs to buy watermelon.

Even at night, it was extremely hot outside.

On both sides of the street, several old men were fanning themselves and chatting, their voices so loud that they could be heard from far away.

There were several pieces of leftover watermelon rinds thrown on the ground.

Xu Yuexin found the old men and asked them, and learned that the watermelons were bought from an alley nearby.

Walking to the next box, Xu Yuexin saw a tricycle parked in the middle. There was a straw mat next to the wheels, and a shirtless young man was lying on the mat and taking a nap.

"Brother, buy some melons."

"okay."

The young man who was dozing off suddenly jumped up and said, "The watermelons in Douge Village are as sweet as honey."

Xu Yuexin picked up the largest watermelon and patted it gently with his hands.

Good, the voice sounds familiar.

"How much does it cost per pound?"

“2分钱一斤，总共8斤2两，我给你算1毛6吧。”

"okay."

Xu Yuexin took out some small change and gave it to the young man, then walked away with the watermelon in his arms.

When he returned to the door of his house, Xu Yuexin vaguely heard the voices of his wife and sister-in-law talking from inside, but he could not hear clearly standing outside.

"Open the door."

Xu Yuexin didn't think about it and knocked on the door.

"You wait a moment."

The daughter-in-law's voice was heard from inside the door, but they did not come to open the door immediately.

Xu Yuexin felt very puzzled and didn't understand what they were doing.

Wait, no...

At this moment, a possibility emerged in Xu Yuexin's mind, and he was shocked.

Please don’t let this happen, Xu Yuexin prayed, until the door opened after a while.

It was Chen Qiaoqiao who opened the door. She looked calm and her eyes were indifferent, which made Xu Yuexin puzzled.

"A big watermelon weighing 8 jin."

Xu Yuexin pretended nothing happened and said to his wife, "Go get the knife."

“Don’t be in a hurry to eat.”

Chen Qiaoqiao shook her head and said, "Let's talk alone for a while."

it's over...

Xu Yuexin's breathing stopped suddenly, and he almost dropped the watermelon because he lost his grip.

"Where to talk?"

Xu Yuexin looked away.

He is now really embarrassed to look his wife in the eye.

Xu Yuexin silently followed his wife into the second bedroom and observed his sister-in-law's expression in the middle.

I saw my sister-in-law sitting on the sofa with an unhappy look on her face. It was obvious that my daughter-in-law had talked to her before.

"You speak, or I speak."

After closing the bedroom door, the daughter-in-law sat on the edge of the bed and asked Xu Yuexin calmly.

"Tell me, what do you want to know?"

Xu Yuexin took a deep breath and asked his wife.

"Tell me everything."

The daughter-in-law looked at Xu Yuexin coldly.

"Well, it's not as serious as you think. Yi Xue and I... just have feelings for each other."

Xu Yuexin thought about it and decided to keep it secret. "Of course, I won't have any contact with her from now on."

"Oh? Is that all?"

Chen Qiaoqiao's expression had turned cold without her knowing when, and she spoke in a bad tone.

"real."

Xu Yuexin said confidently. Before entering the room, he had carefully considered how to deal with the situation.

Based on the way his wife and sister-in-law talked when he entered the door, he felt that the sister-in-law should not have said anything.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two of them to have such a calm conversation.

Therefore, Xu Yuexin must also hold his ground and not reveal his true identity.

"Don't treat me like a child."

Chen Qiaoqiao said with a stern face, "I actually already know what's going on with you guys."

"Tell the truth now."

"That's all, nothing more."

Xu Yuexin spread his hands, showing an innocent expression and said, "At most, I have a little mental deviance."

"Nothing else."

"The devil believes you."

Chen Qiaoqiao continued to speak unhappily, then stood up and left.

Xu Yuexin quickly stood up and followed her. When he passed the living room, he saw his sister-in-law sobbing silently on the sofa.

When he and Chen Qiaoqiao passed by, his sister-in-law raised her tearful face and looked at him angrily.

Xu Yuexin gave his sister-in-law an apologetic look and hurried out of the house with his wife.

On the way back, the two didn't speak.

But fortunately, at least my wife is willing to sit in my car.

Xu Yuexin comforted himself.

When they returned home at night, Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao naturally slept in separate rooms. Xu Yuexin consciously and obediently went to the second bedroom.

The next morning, Chen Qiaoqiao left before Xu Yuexin woke up, leaving him alone in a daze facing the empty house.

Do you want to call your sister-in-law?
Xu Yuexin pondered.

He was worried that his sister-in-law couldn't bear it psychologically and couldn't stand staying at home alone.

Forget it, let’s go to her house.

Xu Yuexin thought about it, walked out of the house with a worried mood, took a bus to Tuanjie Lake, and sweated on the way.

After going upstairs, Xu Yuexin opened the door with his key and found it was empty.

"Xuexue."

Xu Yuexin shouted.

There was no response from inside the house.

Xu Yuexin closed the door and looked around the room, but still couldn't see any sign of his sister-in-law.

Where did she go?

Xu Yuexin felt at a loss.

At this moment, a small note on the desk caught his attention.

Xu Yuexin picked it up and found that it was indeed a note left by his sister-in-law.

"I'm going to live out of town, don't look for me."

The language is extremely concise, without even a single superfluous word.

One can imagine how determined my sister-in-law felt when she wrote this sentence.

"Ugh."

Xu Yuexin put down the note and sighed, feeling very depressed.

He didn't tell anyone where he was going, so there was no way he could find him.

When he returned home at noon, Xu Yuexin thought about it for a long time and finally decided to tell Chen Qiaoqiao the news that his sister-in-law had left Beijing.

"I know."

Contrary to Xu Yuexin's expectation, Chen Qiaoqiao was surprisingly calm, "We agreed last night that we would go out of town together."

"Ah? Why are you leaving too?"

"Well, the company is currently opening branches in various places, and I plan to go out of town to gain some training."

“Just think of it as improving your personal abilities.”

Chen Qiaoqiao said calmly.

"That……"

Xu Yuexin felt a headache and didn't know how to persuade his wife.

"By the way, I might work away from home for a long time. Maybe five years, maybe ten years."

"Don't worry about me."

"What a joke!"

Xu Yuexin immediately became unhappy and stood up from his chair abruptly. "Is it that serious?"

"I just..."

"What are you doing?"

Chen Qiaoqiao raised her head, glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "Do you think I really believe what you said last night?"
