Households relocated in the 1990s

Chapter 467 When you went out with your sister-in-law today, did she say anything?
"Um... Ah Yu, when you went out with your sister-in-law today, did she say anything?" Brother Jian asked his younger brother in a low voice.

Chien Tzu-yu was completely bewildered. She shook her head slightly before saying, "They basically didn't say anything!"

"Oh...right, we ran into the village's wife-beating gang on the way."

"My sister-in-law felt very sorry for that woman."

As for An Songyu, he didn't mention a word about him.

After all, the older brother was asking whether his sister-in-law had said anything!

"Is that so?" Brother Jian was even more puzzled.

Chien Tzu-yu, however, had no intention of asking any further questions.

He wasn't interested in that kind of thing to begin with.

Besides, my older brother isn't someone who can be easily enlightened.

But Jian Zifan, who never usually seeks out Jian Ziyu on these matters, seems to have changed after her younger brother's marriage.

Or perhaps it's not a good time to visit his other friends during the Lunar New Year?
He pulled Jian Ziyu along, sighing repeatedly until Jian Ziyu wanted to stand up and leave.

But Brother Jian simply wouldn't let them go.

Jian Ziyu also sighed helplessly and asked directly, "What happened? Did your brother and sister-in-law have a fight?"

Brother Jian's eyes widened instantly. "How could I possibly argue with your sister-in-law?"

If we didn't argue, why are you sighing in front of me?
Under Jian Ziyu's suspicious gaze, Brother Jian didn't care that what he said would be embarrassing:

"It's all because of your sister-in-law. She's been acting really strange since she came back today."

"So, you could say she's angry?"

“She was completely different; she spoke to me much more gently than she did every time I came back from my grandmother’s house.”

"But to say she wasn't angry... it seems like she had nothing left to say to me?"

"So, Ayu, nothing else really happened on your journey?"

Of course, nothing happened!

Chien Tzu-yu looked at her older brother with a hint of pity.

As the saying goes, "He who has no desires is invincible!"
The reason his sister-in-law wasn't angry was naturally because she felt there was nothing left to be angry about with his older brother.

As for having nothing to say, isn't that even simpler?

Communication only happens when there are needs, emotions, and ideas!

If there's nothing left, then what's the point of saying anything?

Of course, Chien Tzu-yu also knew that her older brother and his wife's relationship was not really that bad.

But that's roughly the idea!

But how was he supposed to tell his older brother about this?
"Ayu? Ayu?" Brother Jian nudged his younger brother, who had been deep in thought for a long time.

Of the three siblings, Ayu is the smartest. Before she got married, she didn't understand the way couples should get along.

Now that he's married, shouldn't he understand his troubles?
Jian Ziyu thought for a moment before looking at her older brother and asking, "So, older brother, you've always known that every time your sister-in-law comes back from visiting your grandmother's house with you, she gets angry?"

Brother Jian touched his nose sheepishly.

He's not stupid, how could he not know?

"So you're just letting this situation continue?" Chien Tzu-yu wanted to sigh as well.

Brother Jian looked at his younger brother. They had already discussed this matter outside their grandmother's house earlier that day.

"That's why my sister-in-law only brought it up after lunch today." Ignoring her brother's disapproving look, Jian Ziyu shrugged slightly before continuing:

"Once she realized she could solve the problem, she naturally didn't need to say anything more to her older brother."

Whether it's venting feelings or complaining.

"If she could change things herself, it would be superfluous!"

Brother Jian felt like he understood his younger brother's words, but he didn't quite grasp their meaning. Simply put, his wife had directly told their parents that she didn't want to come to their maternal grandmother's house with them anymore.

It was also permitted.

Let his wife experience the joy of solving problems without relying on him?

And the reason why they are willing to give him a nice look or even remain silent is because they don't need to rely on him.

After thinking it through, Brother Jian subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought this was actually quite good.

Although he didn't seem quite used to going to his grandmother's house alone again.

Moreover, once he goes to his maternal grandparents' house, his maternal grandparents, uncles, and aunts will surely have countless words of comfort and affection for him.

But what about Ayu?

If my wife doesn't want to go, then she doesn't have to go!

Chien Tzu-yu watched as her older brother's eyes shifted from confusion to relief, and then he appeared exceptionally relaxed.

A particularly ominous feeling rose in his heart.

No... does his older brother actually think that his sister-in-law is doing quite well the way she is now?
If that were really the case, it would be truly...

"Ayu, you've worked hard tonight! Luckily you were here, otherwise, with your brother's brain, he would never have been able to figure out the reason." Brother Jian patted his younger brother's shoulder and stood up as if he was about to go back to his room.

Jian Ziyu stared at her brother for a while before tentatively asking before he left, "Big brother, has your problem been solved?"

Brother Jian nodded naturally, then waved goodbye to his younger brother and quickly went back to his room.

In Jian Ziyu and his wife's room, An Songyu looked up when she heard the door open and saw Jian Ziyu enter the room with a bewildered expression.

She raised her eyebrows in confusion.

After Jian Ziyu pulled back the covers and got into bed, she asked, "What did your older brother say to you?"

Why do I get the feeling that you seem... unusually lost?

Chien Tzu-yu naturally took the book from his wife's hands first.

Seeing that she was reading a rare book about the beauty of the Song Dynasty, he asked with some confusion, "Why did you decide to read this book?"

As she spoke, Chien Tzu-yu casually flipped through the pages. The contents were actually quite rich, and it was even in color.

But this doesn't seem to be what my wife likes!
"Learn some color and spatial arrangement." An Songyu took out her sketchbook and pens from beside her pillow.

Chien Tzu-yu traded his book for his wife's drawing book.

Looking at the new design sketch, which, though simple, already possessed a certain charm, I couldn't help but ask:

"Whose design drawings are these?"

"This one?" An Songyu peeked at the page Jian Ziyu had turned to, smiled, and then gestured for him to turn forward.

He only realized it when he turned to the very first page.

This entire book of new design drawings is actually a courtyard house.

"Whose house is this? I don't think you've ever mentioned it!" Jian Ziyu was even more puzzled.

Even though they weren't clients of the An Songyu and An Songxiang sisters, they would still come to their company for design work.

But they were well aware of what projects the two sisters had taken on.

"Neither!" An Songyu turned around and placed the book and pen she was holding on the bedside table before smiling:
"It was just a sudden inspiration, so I just scribbled something."

"That just so happens, I've recently been studying color schemes and spatial arrangements in Chinese aesthetics."

"Because of Ah Ling's house?" Jian Ziyu asked, flipping through An Songyu's picture album page by page.

An Songyu thought for a moment, nodded, then shook her head: "Indeed, some of it is because of Ah Ling's house."

"But after visiting the hotel where the little princess lives and the park next to it during this trip to Nanshi, I had some ideas."
