My sister-in-law from Qingdao

The scene was somewhat awkward.

In my opinion, my cousin and his wife are just like my own brother and sister-in-law.

My cousin entrusted his wife to me, and I said that it didn't seem wrong for me to take care of her.

However, upon closer examination, it seems somewhat illogical, given that it is a sister-in-law and brother-in-law relationship, and she is also a cousin-in-law.

The sister-in-law reacted the fastest, chuckling and saying, "It's so good to have a little brother like you. I heard from Lin Moli that you're doing a great job. With your salary and commission, you could probably support me more than enough."

The problem is that you will get married and have children in the future, and you will also need to buy a house and a car.

The main problem is that your brother has so much debt; how can I not work?

My sister-in-law's words eased my embarrassment considerably, and then Tang Xiaofu spoke.

"Sister-in-law, I know a bit about what's going on with you. Actually, you should rest now. If all else fails, you can come to my place, and Chen Dong and I will take care of you."

Tang Xiaofu's words completely dispelled my embarrassment. I had to admit that both women were very smart.

"I'm really happy and touched that you two care about me so much. But my sister-in-law is still young and healthy, and I'm a college student; I can definitely go out and work."

The difficulties are temporary; they will all pass eventually.

At this point, I also became more rational. My sister-in-law is a woman who is physically and mentally sound and independent.

She has her own choices, she has her own life.

My cousin isn't home, so even if I could take care of her, she wouldn't let me do it, since there's still a distance between us.

"Sister-in-law, I understand what Chen Dong means. He just feels that this kind of place is not safe and is afraid that you will be deceived."

Tang Xiaofu summed up the key point in one sentence.

My sister-in-law smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, you're right. Places like KTVs are a mixed bag; you can find all sorts of people there. After working here for over a month, I've seen a lot of things."

However, as long as a person acts uprightly and honestly, even the worst person wouldn't dare to do anything to you, after all, we live in a society governed by law.

My sister-in-law's words comforted me a lot. Since she said that, I didn't say anything more.

Then, changing the subject, she said, "My brother hasn't made a move yet?!"

"No, that guy's disappeared somewhere. I really suspect he ran off with another woman."

He finished speaking and shook his head with a wry smile.

The meal was not relaxing; in fact, it was rather somber.

It was at this moment that I suddenly realized how important money is in our country.

If he had money, my cousin wouldn't have had to run away with the money he owed.

My cousin's wife won't need to work in that kind of place anymore.

In that instant, I had a thought: if one day I am fully capable, I must start my own company.

Tang Xiaofu will be my finance manager, my cousin will be my office manager, and my cousin's wife can be my business manager...

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

I've only been doing home textile export for less than two months. When will I be able to get started?

After finishing our meal, I said goodbye to my sister-in-law and Tang Xiaofu and I drove back home.

Tang Xiaofu, who is usually quite talkative, remained very quiet while sitting in the passenger seat.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, I freed one hand and touched her little hand as I spoke.

Tang Xiaofu remained silent and pulled her hand away from mine.

That's when I realized that the girl seemed unhappy.

"Honey, what's wrong? What happened? Why are you suddenly so unhappy?"

Tang Xiaofu then turned to me and said, "Chen Dong, tell me the truth, do you like Su Xiaoya?"

I paused for two seconds, then laughed.

"Silly girl, you can't joke like that. Su Xiaoya is my cousin's wife, my cousin's woman."

"We live in an open society now. What's wrong with your cousin's woman? Even when your cousin isn't home, she could still become your woman."

Tang Xiaofu's words surprised me greatly. In the month or so I had known her, this was the first time I had heard her make such a statement.

In my mind, she was a warm, quiet, and pure little girl.

"Don't talk nonsense! My cousin and I have been inseparable since we were little. They've taken such good care of me. How could I possibly have such wild thoughts? Oh dear, you're not so simple-minded at all."

I gently poked Tang Xiaofu's forehead with my finger.

"Then why do you always linger your eyes on your sister-in-law for a moment, and why do you say you want to support her in front of me? What do you mean by that? You know she's your sister-in-law, yet you blurted it out."

This shows that she holds a certain place in your heart.

Women in love are sensitive.

I heard this from someone else, and now it seems to be true.

With one hand on the steering wheel and the other pointing to the roof of the car, I said, "If I, Chen Dong, had even the slightest thought about your sister-in-law, I would run her over immediately."

Tang Xiaofu quickly reached out and covered my mouth.

"Pah, pah, pah, I was just kidding. What nonsense are you talking about? Are you trying to commit suicide with me? I'm still in the car."

Seeing her smile, I reached out and pinched her little hand again.

"Darling, I only have eyes for you, I don't have any other thoughts about anyone else."

As I said this, the image of Lin Moli appeared in my mind.

Actually, I'm quite impressed with myself. Ever since I told Lin Moli about my relationship with Tang Xiaofu, we haven't talked about anything except work.

Lin Moli is also a very trustworthy woman. Apart from occasionally asking me to drive or run errands for her, she has never sent me a WeChat message in the middle of the night, let alone asked me to come see her or anything like that.

"But to be honest, my cousin-in-law Su Xiaoya is really beautiful, and the way he looks at you is a bit... you know."

After Tang Xiaofu finished speaking, she sighed softly.

I took her small hand again, squeezed it gently, and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to have any wild thoughts or talk nonsense. In this life, I will not love anyone but you, Tang Xiaofu. Only you are my wife."

Tang Xiaofu pulled her hand away, turned to look at me, and said tenderly, "You said it yourself, remember that. Since you're talking about love with me, you're not allowed to cheat on me or flirt with other women. If I find out, I'll immediately ignore you."

"Don't worry, I'll say it again, I'm not that kind of man."

"I believe you. How about we don't go back to the company? We're off work today anyway. How about we go to Zhanqiao Pier?"

Tang Xiaofu suggested.

"No problem, let's go to the pier then."

I turned the car around and headed straight for the pier.

I had a wonderful day, with Tang Xiaofu clinging to me like a little bird, and I felt incredibly happy.

It's just that it always happens in such an occasional, fleeting moment.

My sister-in-law's melancholy face always appears in my mind.

It's getting dark now; she should be at work by now.

Such a beautiful woman, dressed in revealing and sexy clothes, goes to drink and sing with those sleazy men.

Thinking about all this makes me feel really bad; I feel like I've let my brother down.

I feel even more sorry for my sister-in-law.
