My sister-in-law from Qingdao

My younger sister carried two boxes of mooncakes out, and my mother looked at the door and sighed softly.

"You old lady just can't stand your sister-in-law."

I was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked, "Why?"

"Your aunt is a rather traditional person. Your sister-in-law is beautiful and speaks with a strong Qingdao accent. Your aunt always feels that she is not reliable."

That's not the most important thing. The important thing is that she always thinks your sister-in-law isn't a good woman, and if your sister-in-law could give her a grandson, maybe things wouldn't be like this.

My mother's words made me fall silent.

In our area, farmers are still quite traditional.

If a woman in a family can't have children, she's bound to be criticized.

"What do women know? Don't talk nonsense." My dad glared at my mom, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip.

"All you do is drink. Your son is so old, and you're not worried at all."

The flames of war suddenly spread to me, which caught me completely off guard.

"I'm just a farmer. Spending a few hundred thousand yuan to send him to university is enough for me. What does it matter to me whether he finds a partner or not?"

My dad had two glasses of wine and was slightly tipsy.

"Dad, Mom, you don't need to worry about me. After I arrived in Qingdao, my brother and sister-in-law took great care of me. My current company is owned by my sister-in-law's best friend. That female boss is very kind to me, which is why I have achieved such success."

"In the not-too-distant future, I will find a girlfriend, and I'll bring her home to make you all happy."

My dad immediately turned to me and asked, "Is your sister-in-law's best friend pretty? How old is she? Does she have a boyfriend?"

I couldn't help but smile wryly, never expecting my dad to be so prone to making unfounded accusations.

This information was captured with incredible accuracy.

"Dad, let's forget about my sister-in-law's best friend, she's married."

My mom picked up a piece of chicken from the plate next to me and put it in my bowl, saying, "Son, we're anxious about finding a wife, but you can't make a move on a married woman!"

Hearing what my mom said, I couldn't help but laugh and quickly replied:

"My female boss got married and then divorced."

My mom was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "We don't want someone who's divorced."

My dad immediately interrupted her, saying, "Women are all talk and no action. What do you know? She's a female boss. The little she has left is enough for us to dig in the ground for a lifetime."

Son, she's divorced. Does she have children?

How old are you this year?

I have to admit, my dad is more realistic and insightful than my mom.

"I don't know how old she is. She doesn't have children, but she's a staunch non-marriage advocate. I'll definitely find you a daughter-in-law, but you can forget about my boss."

Hearing me say that, my dad looked a little disappointed.

Just as I was about to say something more, the door creaked open.

The younger sister led her sister-in-law in from outside.

"Where are your grandparents?" my mom asked.

"My uncle went to sleep in the orchard, and my aunt said she had a stomachache and was lying in bed and wouldn't get up."

"Did your aunt take her medicine?" my dad asked.

"Uncle, my mother-in-law doesn't actually have a stomachache. She just made up an excuse because she's unhappy that Chen Fang didn't come back."

My sister-in-law is an honest person and doesn't lie, so she told the truth.

"Then let's leave her alone. She's getting more and more stubborn as she gets older. Nephew's wife, sit down and eat."

Xiaodie, get your sister-in-law a pair of chopsticks.

My mom quickly grabbed a small stool from the side and then moved a distance between herself and my sister.

The sister-in-law didn't stand on ceremony and sat down.

Under the light, I saw that her eyes were red, she must have been crying.

"Niece-in-law, don't mind them. That's just how your in-laws are; they get more and more confused as they get older. Just treat this place as your home, eat and drink as you please."

My mom explained as she served food to my sister-in-law.

And so, my sister-in-law, Su Xiaoya, spent the Mid-Autumn Festival at my house.

After dinner, my sister-in-law asked if she could stay at my house.

My mom was of course willing, so my sister-in-law and my younger sister slept in the same room.

I was lying in bed alone, chatting with Lin Moli, when my mom pushed the door open and walked in.

I was only wearing my underwear, so I quickly grabbed the blanket to cover myself, while giving my mom a resentful look.

"Mom, your son is getting on in years, could we please knock on the door?"

My mom glared at me and said, "You grew up on my milk, you're flesh of my flesh, what haven't I seen? Why are you knocking on the door?"

That's how my mom is; there are many things I can't reason with her about. So I patted the edge of the bed and said, "Okay, you're right, please sit down."

My mother sat down and then glanced at the west wing.

The west wing was the room where Xiaomei and Su Xiaoya slept.

"Son, what do you think of your sister-in-law?"

My mom suddenly said something.

"They're great, reasonable, gentle and kind, it's just that my uncle and aunt are a bit too stubborn."

"That's not what I meant. Please give your sister-in-law your opinion from your perspective."

"It was great. The family in Qingdao took good care of me. I stayed at their house for several days, and they didn't mind the food and drinks at all."

My mom nodded subconsciously and reached out to grab my hand.

With a serious expression, he said, "Son, there's something I need to remind you of."

"What's wrong? Why do you seem to be giving me the creeps?"

I glanced at my mom, somewhat puzzled, at her serious expression.

"Listen to me carefully. It's fine for you to work in Qingdao, but you can't make a fool of yourself."

I was even more confused by Jin Gang's cluelessness. When did I make a fool of myself in front of my mom?

"Mom, just say what you want to say. What exactly do you mean?"

"Su Xiaoya is your sister-in-law, and your cousin Chen Fang's wife."

I quickly nodded and said, "Yes, she's my sister-in-law, my cousin's wife."

"So you two need to keep your distance. Your cousin is in the south now, not in Qingdao, so I hope you two will see each other less often."

I immediately understood what my mother meant; she was afraid that Su Xiaoya and I would do something outrageous.

To be honest, Su Xiaoya is like a fairy in my heart.

If I could find a girlfriend like that, my life would be complete.

Of course, I knew even better in my heart that Su Xiaoya was my cousin's wife, and Chen Fang's wife.

I've never had any wild thoughts.

But one sentence from my mother sent chills down my spine.

"Your sister-in-law's gaze towards you is suspicious, so I'm warning you, neither of you can do anything to betray your cousin."
