Chapter 49 My future third sister-in-law is so wonderful!
The person that Old Mrs. Zhang disliked the most was Qin Limin, the youngest daughter born to Qin's mother.
"How dare you talk like that? How dare you interrupt your elders? You have no manners at all. You've been spoiled rotten by your mother. If this were my family, I would tear your mouth apart."
"You're such a grown woman, and you're still studying all day instead of getting married. I think studying has made you wild. You even want to repeat a year if you don't pass the exam. I don't know what's the point of spending money on such a worthless girl!"
Qin Limin sneered at her, "I'll study, I'll study! My mom, my brother, and my sister-in-law are all happy to support my education. What right do you, you old hag, have to whin around here!"
"Alright!" Qin's mother said, afraid that Qin Limin might upset the old lady. "Your sister-in-law left some food in the pot for you, go and eat!"
Qin Limin attends a middle school in the county town and only comes home once a month.
"Mom, I scored 50 points above the preliminary exam cutoff. My homeroom teacher said I'll definitely be fine this year!"
Zhang Chunying said with a forced smile, "Limin, you seemed to have passed the preliminary exam cutoff score last year, but you didn't even make it to the junior college cutoff score!"
Just because it wasn't there last year doesn't mean it won't be this year!
Qin Shixiao brought Ling Jiuyue over, and upon hearing Zhang Chunying's words, he quickly refuted her on behalf of his sister.
When Qin's mother saw Qin Shixiao bring Ling Jiuyue over, she was overjoyed:
"Hey, September's here! Sit down, Stone, go tell your mom to come back and boil some water!"
In the countryside, boiling water means preparing fermented rice wine and eggs to serve guests.
Ling Jiuyue quickly replied, "No need, Auntie, I just came to see you and wait for my sister to get out of school so we can go home together!"
It's the weekend, and Lingqiu is on holiday.
Qin Shixiao introduced his sister, "Limin, this is you..."
"Third Sister-in-law!" Qin Limin said crisply, "Last time when my eldest aunt came to town to give me money, she told me, 'Third Brother, your eyes are finally open again. That Cai Lanfang thing before...'"
"Xiaomin!" Qin's mother scolded Qin Limin in a low voice, "Spend some time talking with your third sister-in-law!"
Even if the Cai family has done something wrong, it's not right for a young girl like Qin Limin to gossip about them.
Ling Jiuyue took a small box out of the bag and handed it to Qin Limin: "This is a gift for you. I don't know if you'll like it!"
Qin Limin opened the box, and her eyes immediately lit up.
"Hero brand fountain pen, Third Sister-in-law, you're so kind, I love you so much!"
Ling Jiuyue not only gave Qin Limin a gift, but also gave gifts to everyone in the Qin family, big and small.
Qin's mother received a floral shirt, his two sisters-in-law received skirts in different colors, and Qin Shixiao's nephews and nieces received matching sneakers.
The children were delighted and surrounded Ling Jiuyue, asking, "Third Aunt, aren't these sneakers really expensive?"
"It must be expensive. Tian Xiaohao in our class has an aunt who's from the city, and she gave him a pair of sneakers, but he won't let us touch them!"
My little niece, Xiaohui, clutched the shoes and stared at her two older brothers: "These were a gift from my third aunt, you're not allowed to take them!"
The two boys scoffed, "Tch, who stole yours? We have some too, you know!"
Seeing the child so happy, the sister-in-law was touched and felt very apologetic as she held Ling Jiuyue's hand.
"Kids grow so fast, why did you buy such nice shoes for them? And so many of them! You've really gone to a lot of trouble this time!"
"It's okay. If they're at the age where they like sneakers, they should wear them. Otherwise, when they grow up, even the best shoes won't bring the same joy!"
Ling Jiuyue not only bought them for the Qin family, but also for her own family.
This time when she came to the city, she went on a shopping spree, heading straight to the wholesale market and spending very generously.
She resolved the matter for Jin Guixiang, and Jin Guixiang gave her another fifty yuan.
Old Song's side, Director Hu invited them to dinner, but she didn't go.
Director Hu asked Old Hu to deliver a red envelope to her, containing two hundred yuan.
Ling Jiuyue did not refuse; it was what she deserved.
If it weren't for her intervention, Director Hu would have been dragged down because of his son's affair, leading to the destruction of his entire family.
She bought things for the Qin family, and when Qin Shixiao wanted to pay, she stopped him.
When she bought things for her family, Qin Shixiao insisted on paying for them, not allowing her to compete with him for it.
The Qin family, from top to bottom, was overjoyed and adored Ling Jiuyue, their sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, and third aunt.
But Grandma Zhang was unhappy.
Zhang Chunying was also unhappy. The family chatted and laughed while trying on clothes, and no one cared about how they felt.
She said sourly, "Ling Jiuyue, you bought things for the kids, but what about getting something for the old lady?"
Ling Jiuyue seemed to only then notice the old lady: "Ah? You're here too, ma'am. I'm so sorry, I didn't expect the Qin family to have an old lady here in the city!"
"It's my fault!" Qin Shixiao quickly chimed in, "September isn't familiar with our family. I was the one who told her who everyone was. I didn't expect you to come, Grandma!"
Qin Limin chimed in, "Who would have thought? After all, when Third Brother had his accident, Grandma said that a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup, and that Mom should try not to go back to her parents' home unless necessary, so as not to bring bad luck to the family!"
Qin's mother was the eldest daughter in her family, with two younger brothers and a younger sister.
She raised her younger siblings single-handedly and got married at the age of 15. For her, her family home was nothing but a place of beatings, scoldings, and exhaustion. There was no warmth or affection she could find in it.
She used to enjoy going back to her parents' home, but after some things happened, she no longer wanted to go back.
That year, Qin Shixiao was only eight years old when Grandma Zhang asked her to go back to her parents' home to help build a house.
She took her eight-year-old son, Qin Shixiao, and her one-year-old daughter back to her parents' home to help.
The daughter put the straw balls in the basket.
Eight-year-old Qin Shixiao also had to help carry bricks and do manual labor.
At lunchtime, the younger brother's wife wouldn't let Qin Shixiao sit at the table, gave him a bowl of porridge, and told him to eat his meal elsewhere.
The old lady was feeding her grandson, pretending not to see it.
She was weak-willed at the time and swallowed her anger.
In the afternoon, for some unknown reason, Qin Shixiao got into an argument with his second son's two children and was thrown into the river by them.
That day, she cried her heart out. If Ling Guosheng hadn't happened to pass by, Qin Shixiao would have remained forever at the age of eight.
After that, she rarely went back to her parents' home.
The children were happy to go, but they didn't get any happiness that belonged to grandchildren at their maternal grandmother's house. Instead, they experienced all sorts of frustrations that they couldn't forget.
Later, when Qin Shixiao joined the army, the old lady of the Zhang family started grumbling again: "Why did he have to join the army? Just watch, he'll die out there sooner or later, and we won't even be able to find his body!"
Is this something a maternal grandmother should say?
After Qin Shixiao made a name for herself in the army, her two uncles and cousins became enthusiastic again and even clamored to introduce her to potential partners.
Qin Shixiao's aunt was determined to marry her cousin, who was two years younger than him.
Qin Shixiao refused, saying, "Marriage between close relatives is illegal!"
