My sister-in-law from Qingdao

When I arrived at my cousin's building, I hesitated.

What am I supposed to tell my cousin's wife when I go upstairs? Should I really say that my cousin went to talk business with a client?

After hesitating for a moment, I called my cousin, hoping to persuade him to come back sooner, but unfortunately, the call went through but no one answered.

I had no choice but to go upstairs alone.

I rang the doorbell, and my cousin-in-law, Su Xiaoya, opened the door for me. She was wearing a beige nightgown.

It was a wide-strapped nightgown, and she looked beautiful in it. Her snow-white arms were exposed, and I almost couldn't look directly at her. Her hair was loose over her shoulders, and she exuded femininity.

"You're back."

My cousin's wife glanced at me, her expression not very clear.

"Sister-in-law, my brother... my brother is talking to a client about business, so he won't be back for a while. It involves trade secrets, so he didn't let me come with him."

I lied nervously.

"Okay, go take a shower and go to bed early."

My cousin turned around and walked towards her room.

I suddenly became conflicted. Should I shower or not? My cousin wasn't home. Would it be inappropriate for me to shower in his bathroom?

If I don't wash, I'm from the countryside and I'm all dirty. It wouldn't be good if I took off my clothes and crawled into someone's bed, making the bedding dirty.

Just as I was standing there not knowing what to do, my cousin-in-law, who had walked to the door, turned around and said, "The bathroom is separated into wet and dry areas. The shower room is inside, and the toilet is outside. That pink towel is mine, and that light blue one is your brother's. I found you a white one, and that lake-blue toothbrush holder. The toothpaste and toothbrush inside are all new. You can use them."

"I'll have your brother take you to buy some clothes tomorrow."

After my cousin-in-law Su Xiaoya finished speaking, she went into the inner room, and then I went into the bathroom.

My cousin's bathroom is very large. Inside is a glass-enclosed shower room, and outside is a large open space with a clothesline.

As I was taking off my clothes to enter the bathroom, a drop of water suddenly fell on my forehead.

The moment I looked up, my heart skipped a beat.

Women's small garments were hanging on the clothesline overhead, including black lace-trimmed panties and a bra.

I must have just washed it not long ago, because there was still water on it, so the water on my forehead was dripping from it.

Even though I'm 23 years old, I've never actually been in a serious relationship.

There are more boys than girls at my school, and my family is poor, so I am still a virgin.

When I saw the little garment on my head, I felt a strange unease, a feeling I couldn't quite describe.

I suppressed my unease, quickly took a shower, got dressed, and when I came out of the bathroom, I was surprised to find my cousin's wife standing in the hallway, arms crossed, lost in thought.

Is the water temperature okay?

"Okay, very good."

"Come over here and help me out."

My cousin's wife spoke softly, and her face didn't show much expression.

She turned and went into her bedroom, and I stood there, somewhat dazed. My cousin wasn't home; could I go into their bedroom?

"Come here, what are you spacing out for?"

Seeing that I didn't follow, my cousin-in-law turned around after entering the room and looked at me with a strange expression.

I had no choice but to follow them inside.

She pointed to a corner of the curtain and said, "When I was drawing the curtains just now, I accidentally pulled that hook off, and I can't reach it. Could you help me hang it back up?"

I nodded hastily.

My cousin-in-law pushed over a chair and placed a magazine on it, and then I took off my shoes and stepped on it.

My cousin's wife held onto the chair with one hand and my leg with the other, probably to prevent me from falling.

I stood on the chair, my heart pounding with anxiety. If she hadn't been holding my legs, I wouldn't have been flustered at all, but her kindness made me incredibly nervous.

I tried to stay calm and checked carefully. It turned out that the tassel on the hook was stuck to the hook, and all I had to do was cut the tassel off with scissors.

"Sister-in-law, do you have scissors?"

"Yes, wait here, I'll get it for you. Stand still and don't move around."

My cousin-in-law let go of my leg and then turned around to find the scissors.

"for you."

My cousin's wife held onto the chair again, then raised the scissors to me with her other hand, just as I bent down to take them.

I unexpectedly caught a glimpse of my cousin's beautiful bosom through her neckline.

Round and full.

Seeing this, my mind went blank, my body trembled slightly, and I almost fell off the chair, but luckily I managed to grab the wall in time.

My cousin's wife probably sensed my reaction, and after handing me the scissors, she quickly lowered her head.

I quickly cut the tassels, restored the curtains to normal, and then jumped off the chair.

I don't know how I got back to my room; all I could think about was that scene I shouldn't have seen.

I have to admit, my sister-in-law has a flawless figure.

Just as I was lying in bed lost in thought, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Who else could it be? It's me. Come out, come out for a cup of tea, I want to talk to you."

My cousin's voice came from outside; it was clear and gentle.

After hesitating again, I got dressed and came out of the room.

This time she changed into a set of pajamas, a relatively conservative one.

Two cups of green tea were placed in front of me.

"I was thinking of letting you take a shower and go to bed early, but I feel there are a few things I need to tell you."

"Sister-in-law, just say what you want to say."

"Did your brother take you out to find a job today?" My sister-in-law picked up her cup, took a sip of tea, and tilted her head to look at me.

To be honest, when I went out with my cousin today, we didn't talk about finding me a job at all, except for drinking tea, drinking alcohol, and bragging.

So I shook my head, which was my reply to my sister-in-law.

"I heard from your brother that you graduated with a bachelor's degree. You are a knowledgeable person. I hope you can use your knowledge to change your destiny, instead of messing around with your brother."

My sister-in-law's words made me feel a little lonely. My cousin's success was obvious to everyone in the village, while my failure was a joke in the village.

The era when knowledge could change one's destiny is gone forever.

Is my cousin's wife afraid that I'll be a burden to my cousin?

"Sister-in-law, if my cousin can find me a suitable job, I'll take it. If he can't, I'll find one myself."

"Either you find one yourself, or I'll help you find one. In any case, you'd better not take the job your brother finds for you."

Why?

"There's no reason why, just listen to me."

I talked with my cousin's wife for a long time. Through our conversation, I discovered that she is a very thoughtful woman. To put it bluntly, her depth of thought is beyond what my cousin can match.

Of course, my cousin's wife's looks and figure are not something my cousin can match.

I admit my cousin has some talent, but he's not tall or handsome. How did he manage to win over his girlfriend?

Perhaps it's his ability, or perhaps it's his money.

In this society, as long as you have money, there's nothing you can't do. If you can't do something, it's because you don't have enough money.
