Chapter 144 Liang Yi's Second Aunt

Liang Yi's ears turned red from the words of the department head, but he refused to back down.

"That's right, my wife is naturally beautiful."

As he spoke, he naturally took the bag from Anmin's hand.

Back then, when Director Yang introduced him to the company, he refused. Looking back now, he realizes he was really young and impetuous.

Director Yang truly saw through the surface to the essence.

She once said that marrying Anmin might not bring immediate results, but he would definitely be grateful to himself in the future.

An Min couldn't help but smile, and out of the corner of her eye she saw Andrei being surrounded by several young technicians asking him questions, so she tugged at Liang Yi's sleeve.

"Stop joking around, we should go back now, the children must be getting impatient."

"No hurries."

Liang Yi took her hand in return: "Sister Wang just asked someone to pass on a message saying that Si'an and Shouye are having a great time at her house and want to have dinner there."

"They even said that we finally managed to free up some time so that the two of us could go out and have some fun."

Since Sister Wang had accepted Liang Yi's money, she naturally wouldn't say anything more.

In addition, Si'an and Shouye are easy to take care of, and Sister Wang is overjoyed to have two children.

Especially Si'an, who has two naughty boys at home, Sister Wang adores Si'an.

Si'an was beautifully sculpted and obedient.

The office director, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but laugh: "Look at how well this couple is doing, Comrade Anmin, you've worked hard today, this is your allowance."

He handed over a manila envelope containing five jin of grain coupons and thirty yuan.

"Comrade Andrei specifically mentioned to the institute that your translation skills are even better than those of the professional translators from Moscow. This is an extra reward for you."

An Min's face flushed red, and she quickly waved her hand, "Director, this is too precious, I can't accept it."

"Take it!"

The department head stuffed the envelope into her hand, his eyes full of earnestness.

“What we researchers need most are people who can overcome language barriers. You don’t know, when Andre used that term just now, my palms were sweating. Only you could have reacted to it. You deserve this money!”

This is a technical job; not everyone can earn money from it.

The department head wouldn't be stingy when it comes to this.

Moreover, he felt that he and Anmin might become colleagues in the future.

Liang Yi chimed in, "Since the director has said so, just take it. It's good to buy a new piece of cloth to make clothes."

He knew that Anmin always complained that Si'an's pants were too short and that Shouye's cotton-padded coat needed to be replaced.

After becoming a mother, Anmin always forgot to buy things for herself.

An Min nodded, accepted the envelope, and followed Liang Yi home.

The two bought some vegetables at the market, and Anmin even bought candy for the children.

As Anmin passed by the pastry shop, she looked at the peach shortbread inside.

The peach shortbread in Beijing is delicious; it melts in your mouth, and Si'an and Shouye love it.

"Buy it if you want to eat it, don't be stingy."

Hearing this, An Min smiled and shook her head.

"I think we should buy one for Sister Wang too. She helped me a lot today, and who knows, we might need her help again in the future."

"OK."

After Liang Yi finished speaking, An Min walked into the pastry shop.

After buying two servings of peach shortbread, she walked out with the items in her hands.

Just as I arrived at the entrance of the tenement building, the postman came over.

“Mr. Liang, what a coincidence, there’s a letter from your hometown in the Northwest.”

The postman handed over the letter, and Liang Yi was stunned. There were no people left in his hometown.

Where did this letter come from?

After Anmin took the letter, thanked the postman, and went home.

"I'm going to bring Si'an and Shouye back. You can check who wrote this letter." Liang Yi left these words and went to Sister Wang's house.

He had absolute trust in his wife, of course.

An Min agreed and opened the letter after Liang Yi left.

After reading it, she frowned slightly. Not long after, Liang Yi returned with the child.

The two little ones were clearly delighted to see their father and showered Liang Yi with kisses all over his face.

"Why that expression? Who wrote the letter?"

Upon hearing this, Anmin handed over the letter.

"Liang Yi, you have a second aunt?"

Anmin only knew that Liang Yi's parents were gone and that he only had some distant relatives.

But this second aunt who suddenly appeared spoke familiarly, as if she had a good relationship with Liang Yi.

"Second aunt?"

Liang Yi was stunned.

Liang Yi took the letter, his brow furrowed.

"Second Aunt? Which second aunt?"

His mind raced, his family tree flipping through pages in his head, finally settling on a mean and calculating face.

"I remembered?"

An Min looked at him and asked a question, and Liang Yi nodded.

“My dad’s distant cousin, we haven’t been in touch for years. She wasn’t even seen when my parents passed away. Now she suddenly remembers her nephew?”

"Besides, I haven't been in contact with her for so many years, how did she know I was here?"

When Anmin saw her husband's reaction, her heart skipped a beat: "Is their relationship not good?"

"It's more than just bad."

Liang Yi chuckled, his voice tinged with coldness.

“Look at this letter. It says that my second aunt’s husband has been saying he wants to visit, and that since she has nothing better to do, she can come and help us look after the children and lend a hand…”

"A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken is up to no good. That woman is known for her shrewishness and calculating nature; she wouldn't do anything without a profit. Would she genuinely help you? Only if the sun rises in the west."

When Liang Yi was young, his parents passed away. He was just a child who needed help. Why didn't she show up then?
Even though they were distant cousins, Liang Yi's father helped her a lot back then.

She received quite a bit of bribes.

There's nothing more to say about that.

Later, after Liang Yi became successful, she wanted to get closer to him, but there were still many uncles ahead of her, so it wasn't her turn.

Now that Liang Yi has come to the capital, they're eagerly coming to him again.

"She knew she wasn't popular, so she acted first and informed others later."

Set off first, then send the letter.

Once she arrives, can Liang Yi still push her back?
"She can come whenever she wants? Did she get my permission?"

Liang Yi was so angry that he crumpled the letter into a ball.

"His skin is thicker than a city wall. He probably heard gossip from someone back home. He knows I work at a research institute in Beijing and got an apartment. He thinks I've made it big and wants to take advantage of me. It was probably that shrewd second uncle who instigated him."

"Minmin, I'll handle this. You don't need to worry about it."

He wouldn't let this snobbish second aunt disrupt his life.

Don't even think about it.

An Min looked at Liang Yi's flushed face and comforted him, "Don't get too angry. If she really comes, we'll figure out how to deal with it."

She has legs, so how could she not let her come?
"Bringing things? There's no way she'd pay for that."

Liang Yi sneered: "They probably wanted to eat on the way and deliberately told us."

Anmin divided the peach shortbread into two packages and carefully wrapped them in hemp paper.

"Never mind that for now, I'll take the snacks to Sister Wang. Thanks to her for looking after the children today, I'll mention to her that if any new faces come to our house in the future, she should keep an eye out for them."
