My sister-in-law from Qingdao

I was completely speechless.

I watched Su Xiaoya thirteen times? Really? I don't think I've ever seen her like that before.

But I have to admit that subconsciously I care a lot about this woman.

But it's just a concern; it's not like what my mom said, that the two of us will cause any trouble.

I think this is impossible; perhaps it was my cousin's instructions that made me have this reaction.

I got up, feeling a dry throat, a throbbing headache, and a somewhat unclear mind.

There was a glass of warm water on the table. I drank it and felt a little better.

I staggered out, and when my mom saw me, she quickly stood up and helped me up.

"Wake up! Don't drink too much at such a young age. Excessive drinking damages your stomach and liver, and it's bad for everything."

"Mom, I understand. I heard what you said."

"What did you hear?"

"Mom, I'm your son. Don't you trust me? Su Xiaoya is my cousin's wife. Don't worry, I won't make a fool of myself in front of you."

My mom smiled and patted my head, saying, "My son is an obedient child. Remember, after you get to Qingdao, don't associate with your sister-in-law too much."

When your cousin was alive, she was your sister-in-law; now that your cousin is gone, she is a widow.

You're still young, you still need to settle down and start a family. If a man's reputation is ruined, it'll be hard for him to find a partner.

"Mom, I'll listen to you, but there's one thing you have to do."

My mom looked at me with a smile and said, "Of course I'll listen to you. Just tell me what you want to say."

"We have plenty of blankets at home. Why don't you take one to my sister-in-law? Or I can go and take it to her, but I'm afraid you won't trust me. You should go."

My mom frowned and said, "Xiao Dong, it's not that I don't feel sorry for her. To be honest, she's a good kid and quite lovable."

I just wanted her to know that she's no longer a member of the Chen family. If I'm too nice to her, she might think I have ulterior motives.

Seeing my mom like this made me a little unhappy.

"Mom, she's a woman in her twenties, living in that small, dilapidated house without even a proper quilt. How cold must it be at night in this weather?"

Didn't you teach me to be kind since I was little?

My mom patted me on the shoulder and said, "How can you be so soft-hearted, a grown man like you? Fine, I'll go."

My mom carried a quilt, draped a mattress over her shoulder, and went out.

I poured myself a glass of water and gulped down a few mouthfuls, and an image appeared in my mind.

My cousin's wife lived in that small, dilapidated house. The light bulb above her head was yellowish, and the room was run-down and lacked everything she needed. She looked pitiful.

At that moment, I regretted it. I should have asked my mother to invite my cousin's wife to stay at my house.

But I knew my mom would never agree; she was also afraid of what the villagers would say.

That's how elderly people in rural areas are; they're not very open-minded and overthink things. But all of this is for their children.

Just as I was sitting there lost in thought, my mom came running back, panting, and said, "Something terrible has happened! I just walked in and I heard your cousin's wife arguing with someone. I don't know who it was, but it sounded like a man."

My mind went blank for a moment, I stood up, and dashed out in a few steps.

My mom's voice came from behind me: "Xiao Dong, what are you doing? What's it to you?"

I didn't answer, but rushed quickly towards my cousin's house.

My cousin's old house is very close to my house, only a few dozen meters away.

When I pushed open her front door, I did indeed hear my cousin's wife shouting.

"Ma Deqiang, get out of here right now, or I'll stab myself to death with a pair of scissors."

"Su Xiaoya, don't be like this. You're so beautiful, it would be a shame if you died. Your husband has been dead for twenty or thirty days, you must be thinking about that kind of thing, right? I'm strong and healthy, no less than Chen Fang."

Ma Deqiang's voice was somewhat hoarse and had a sleazy tone, indicating that he was drunk.

"Get out of here! If you take another step closer, I'll either stab you to death or I'll stab myself to death."

"My sister-in-law shouted sternly."

Hearing my cousin's wife's voice, I felt a little more comforted. I quickly stepped forward and kicked the door open.

The moment I kicked open the door, a wave of dampness hit me.

Inside the room, my cousin's wife was wearing pajamas, curled up on the bed, holding a pair of scissors in her hand.

Ma Deqiang had unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his belly, and his eyes were vacant.

"Chen Dong, I knew I was right! I didn't expect you to come too. I knew you'd be here tonight, so I came ahead of time. How about we come together?"

Ma Deqiang drank too much and got drunk.

I came here to think about good things after I woke up.

A surge of anger welled up inside me, and I punched Ma Deqiang squarely in the forehead.

"You beast! We're from the same village. My brother has only been dead for a few days, and you dare to make a move on my sister-in-law!"

One punch landed squarely on Ma Deqiang's nose, and blood gushed out.

Ma Deqiang jumped up and punched me in the forehead.

Normally, I really couldn't beat him.

But now he's drunk, while I'm sober, and also, the tricks Zhao Shuang taught me are very effective.

As he jumped up, I dodged and struck him in the stomach with my elbow, bang!

The beast let out a howl and fell to the ground with a thud.

With one hand covering her nose and the other covering her lower abdomen, she howled, "I found out Chen Dong was having an affair, and he's trying to kill me!"

Help! Help!

I then went up to my cousin's wife and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Su Xiaoya's tears streamed down her face instantly. She suddenly hugged me tightly, sobbing, "Xiao Dong, thank goodness you came. If you hadn't come, I'm afraid I would be dead."

Just as Su Xiaoya was hugging my neck and crying, the door suddenly opened again.

My parents, the village chief, and even several village committee members suddenly appeared in front of me.

Seeing this, I was so frightened that I quickly pushed my cousin-in-law away.

At this moment, Ma Deqiang got up from the ground.

He glared at me menacingly and said to the village chief, "Village chief, these two adulterers couldn't have any fun in Qingdao, so they came to our village to have their fun."

Unfortunately, I ran into them. One of them threatened me with scissors, and the other hit me because I was drunk.

"Village chief, you must stand up for me!"

The village chief glanced at me, frowned, and said, "What a waste of your university education! Is this the kind of quality you get after all this?"

My mom got anxious as soon as she heard that and immediately blocked my way.

"Village chief, how can you talk like that? Is my son that kind of person?"

I came to bring bedding to Su Xiaoya just now because I saw Ma Deqiang bullying my niece-in-law. Otherwise, would I have gone to call you?

The village chief was stunned for a few seconds, then seemed to come to his senses.

"Ma Deqiang, what exactly happened?"

Ma Deqiang wiped the blood from his nose, his entire face was covered in blood.

"I caught them cheating, and they both beat me up. I have pictures to prove it, so why are you asking me what happened?"
