24 Here comes Aunt Wu!

Wu Xia has never been to Shanghai.

She could even count the number of times she had been to the provincial capital Shenyang on five fingers, so how could she suddenly appear on Xiangyang South Road with Ni Ying?

The reason was that Ni Ying was on summer vacation.

He kept clamoring for his parents to take him out for a trip, saying that his classmates were either going to Universal Studios Beijing or Shanghai Disneyland.

Wu Xia wondered, Yingzi's classmates were basically from ordinary families in small towns like him. Could it be that those down-and-out parents were willing to spend money to take their children out to play?

She didn't know that this was all Ni Ying's nonsense. The things about Universal Studios and Disney were all things that Ni Ying saw in her likes collection on Xiaohongshu when she went back to her hometown for the New Year at the beginning of the year and she was secretly playing with her phone.

She wanted to ask in the parents' group, but Wu Xia, who was always too concerned about her reputation, changed her mind and thought that even if she only had two coins left in her pocket and was extremely poor, she could not show her shabby appearance in front of others.

So he had an idea and decided to bring Ni Ying to Shanghai.

By staying at Zhang Chenling's house, you can save on accommodation and see what the two cousins ​​are up to. It also allows Old Ni, who always holds a fishing rod, to experience the feeling of being alone in an empty room.

Kill three birds with one stone.

She then asked around, and her efforts paid off. She found out Zhang Chenling's latest address in Shanghai from an old sister who had moved to Shanghai.

The old sister used to work as a nanny in Zhang Chenling's housekeeping company. As luck would have it, a few days ago in the morning, she went to the entrance of the alley on Xiangyang South Road to buy scallion pancakes, and happened to see Zhang Chenling coming out of the alley in a charming manner, lying on the window of a white van, chatting with the man sitting in the driver's seat, and in the end she was reluctant to leave.

After a vivid interpretation, the story reached Wu Xia's ears, and it became that Zhang Chenling and the man failed to agree on the price and were unable to get on the car.

Wu Xia immediately took out her mobile phone and bought two train tickets.

Before leaving, she specifically asked Ni Daming not to tell this to her daughter.

Ni Daming lay on the sofa, scratching his itch and humming, "I don't bother with these trivial matters! Just play for a few days and then go home quickly. The store can't do without you!"

"No, son, didn't you always say that the earth would keep turning without me? Now it can't do that without me?"

Seeing Ni Daming pretending to be dumb and not saying a word, Wu Xia was filled with hatred and stepped forward to pinch his thigh, "Come on, pay for the train ticket first!"

Ni Daming bared his teeth, "Isn't all the family money with you? And you're asking me for it!"

He reluctantly rummaged through his trouser pocket for a long time, pulled out a sticky ball of toilet paper, and then dug out two hundred-dollar bills stuck together.

After a day of fishing outside, the sweat from my body soaked my trouser pockets where I kept my coins.

Wu Xia glared at him fiercely, and a Nine Yin White Bone Claw came down, and the nails embedded in black mud seemed to want to gouge out the flesh of his palm.

Ni Daming screamed in pain.

The mother and daughter took a night train and had to transfer in Shenyang for several hours. When they arrived at Shanghai Hongqiao Station, it was already evening. They took the subway in a daze, and only realized they were in the wrong place at the end of the subway. They had to trudge back to the subway with their bags...

Coming out of the subway station, they walked and asked along the way, and finally found the scallion pancake shop at the entrance of the alley on Xiangyang South Road. Ni Ying kept saying that he was sleepy. Looking at the unfamiliar street scene, Wu Xia was at a loss. Thinking that this surprise attack would not work, she took out her mobile phone to call Ni Yue.

Unexpectedly, before she could hold the phone steady, she saw Zhang Chenling and a man walking towards her, cuddling together. Both of them were drunk and behaved very intimately.

Wu Xia hurriedly pulled Ni Ying to hide behind a sycamore tree nearby.

After watching the two figures disappear into the depths of the alley, she turned her head and found another man and woman appearing in the distance, flirting with each other as they walked.

Hey, isn't that girl Yue'er?!

Thinking that her eyesight was blurry due to old age, Wu Xia rubbed her eyes vigorously, and then took a closer look, confirming that it was her own daughter!

He almost vomited blood and rushed forward, pulling Ni Ying.

The charming atmosphere between Ni Yue and Chen Yuang was instantly destroyed.

Moreover, for some reason, Ni Yue felt guilty and pushed Chen Yuang, bouncing one meter away from him.

Then she held her forehead with her right hand, shook her wrist with her left, and desperately chased him away, "I have something else to do, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!"

The little hands are shaking faster than fanning themselves.

Chen Yuang felt humiliated when he saw her expression as if she wished she could disappear right away.

He guessed that the two people walking in the distance were probably Ni Yue's family members, but there was nothing shameful between him and her. Even if they were just ordinary friends, what was wrong with introducing them openly?

He had never been so disliked by a woman before.

…

Seeing the old man and the child approaching so close, he stood there motionless.

Ni Yue became anxious, leaving the idiot behind, and walked towards Wu Xia in two steps. He put one hand around her slim waist, firmly grasping her belt, and with the other hand, pulled Ni Ying towards home.

Wu Xia couldn't persuade Ni Yue, so she had to turn back every two steps, wanting to see Chen Yuang's appearance clearly, and kept asking: "Who is it? Who is that person? Is it the one named Zhou?..."

Ni Yue had a dark face and said nothing, his steps staggering.

"I know, it's Zhou Yanan!" Ni Ying said in a clear voice.

The uneducated little Doubao has an excellent memory in this matter.

It was a night a few months ago. Ni Ying called her sister via video to ask about homework. She happened to see her and Zhou Yanan having dinner at home. The woman, immersed in happiness, saw that her brother was the only one in the video, so she turned the camera to Zhou Yanan and let the two men chat properly for a few words.

Unexpectedly, Ni Ying later told his parents about this.

Wu Xia had a bad memory and only remembered the man's last name, Zhou. "...Yeah!" she shouted in a hoarse voice, "Zhou Yanan, Zhou Yanan!"

Then he looked back again.

"Didn't I tell you that this man is dead!" Ni Yue replied sternly.

...The family of three quickly walked out of Chen Yuang's sight.

Not long after turning into the alley, Ni Yue suddenly felt something was wrong. "Hey, where are your luggage?"

"Oh, it's in front of the scallion pancake shop!" Wu Xia slapped her thigh, turned around and ran back to get her luggage.

Ni Yue had no choice but to follow.

Ni Ying was so excited that he ran around and shouted excitedly in the alley.

The noise made by the three of them instantly alerted a couple who were kissing deep in the alley.

Zhang Chenling's heart skipped a beat when she realized that the loud, chattering voice came from Ni Yue's mother, Aunt Wu. Why was she here?

In a panic, she pushed Xu Zhiqian away, rubbed the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, wiped off someone's saliva, smoothed her hair, and urged in a low voice, "Go quickly, don't let Ni Yue see it!"

Xu Zhiqian licked his lips and said in a very gentle voice, "The taste of your mouth is exactly the same as when we first kissed."

The alley was dimly lit. In the hazy moonlight, Zhang Chenling saw the man's face, which looked like he was still not satisfied. She was so embarrassed that she jumped up and down, scolding him at the top of her lungs, "You idiot! Go away, go away, go away!"

It was the first time Xu Zhiqian saw her so anxious, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

It felt like a trap that I had carefully designed, and after being cunningly circumvented a hundred times, it finally caught the wolf.

Seeing this man still refusing to leave with a playful smile, Zhang Chenling had no choice but to put on a stern face and intimidate him, "Don't forget our three rules!"

"...I didn't break any laws. You were the one who took the initiative to put your arm around my neck, and I reluctantly responded to your request."

Even reserved men can be slick and articulate sometimes. Zhang Chenling's words got stuck in her throat, and her face flushed red. "You..."

Ni Yue and his family of three appeared.

Xu Zhiqian immediately hid the smile on his face, turned around to greet Ni Yue, and said in his usual calm tone: "I'll send your sister here and won't go upstairs."

Noticing that she and her family behind her were carrying luggage, he changed his tone: "So many things? Let me help you carry them up!"

"No need to trouble you!" Zhang Chenling stepped forward, pushed Xu Zhiqian, and took the suitcase from Wu Xia's hand. She smiled and said hello: "I'm here, Aunt Wu!"

She turned around and took them upstairs, but she didn't realize that Aunt Wu looked at her in a very strange way.

With Wu Xia's more than fifty years of life experience and more than forty years of gossip history, she keenly realized that Zhang Chenling must be having an affair with this man.

I became more and more convinced of my prediction: there was no doubt that Da Lingzi was having affairs with both men and women!

He rolled his eyes and said nothing. After all, he brought his child to live in Zhang Chenling's house, so he couldn't expose her secrets right away.

Several people dragged their luggage upstairs, making the narrow wooden stairs creak. Wu Xia followed behind Ni Yue, panting and saying, "How can there still be such shabby houses in Shanghai? This hallway is too crowded!"

The one who responded to her was the aunt on the second floor. Through the wooden door, her voice was as loud as hers, "If you don't like Shanghai, then don't come..."

Not only was Ni Yue not angry, he even smiled twice.

…

After entering the house, Zhang Chenling exchanged a few words with Wu Xia and then went to take a shower.

Ni Yue pricked up his ears and heard the sound of splashing water. Then he pinched his throat and whispered to Wu Xia, who was slumped on the sofa: "Mom, why didn't you tell me in advance that you brought Yingzi to Shanghai?"

Wu Xia's face flushed. "I come whenever I want. Why should I report to you? Besides, every time I call you, you say you're busy, and you get impatient after just a few words. How dare I bother you again?"

"You didn't call to disturb me, but you came here to disturb me right under my nose!" Ni Yue sneered and sighed helplessly, "You came at the wrong time. I'm very busy this week and don't have time to accompany you."

Although he was not happy with Wu Xia, he gently stroked Ni Ying's head with his hand. As soon as he entered the house, he hung on her waist like a monkey.

Wu Xia sat up straight after hearing this, frowned and asked, "What are you busy with?"

"I'm busy with work!"

"What job?"

Seeing Wu Xia asking knowingly, Ni Yue rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I tell you to help people take a bath?"

"Is bathing people a serious job?" Wu Xia excitedly pointed to the bathroom across the wall and hushed her voice, "Yue'er, don't let her lead you astray! She's messing around with guys..."

"Mom, do you know what you're saying?" Ni Yue angrily interrupted Wu Xia. He quickly dismounted Ni Ying from his lap, then stepped in front of her and demanded, "Back then, you shamelessly tried to establish a relationship with her, and now you're complaining about her job being unreputable and trying to pin the blame on her. Are you as snobbish as you?"

Wu Xia hadn't expected her to be so sharp, and her face flushed immediately. "Why am I a snob? I'm doing this for your own good!"

"Don't pick on the nice things!" Ni Yue said with disdain, "You're doing that for your own good. You're afraid I'll become a burden, hold you back, and make you lose face in front of others!"

Wu Xia retorted with a trembling voice, "You are so heartless. Which mother doesn't want her daughter to live a good life?"

"Okay, you want me to live well, right? There are layoffs everywhere now, and it's impossible to find a job. Since you're doing this for my own good, I won't bathe people anymore. I'll go back to Northeast China with you, and you can support me!"

Ni Yue used his trump card.

She had long discovered that "Please support me" was the most effective phrase to use against her mother.

Sure enough, Wu Xia seemed to have been choked by a whole egg yolk, and she could only stare blankly, unable to speak.

It was Wu Xia's lifelong dream to be treated as the apple of her eye by her husband Ni Daming and to enjoy a leisurely life lying in bed every day. However, not only did this dream not come true, she was also forced to be a housewife for most of her life, and accumulated a lot of resentment. Now she was looked down upon by her own daughter, and she had no place to seek justice. She felt even more wronged than Dou E.

As always, this fight ended with mother and daughter silently glaring at each other.

Ni Ying, who had been standing by without saying a word for a long time, came over and pulled Ni Yue's hand and said coquettishly: "Sister, I want to go to Disney tomorrow."

Ni Yue's heart softened, and she leaned over to squeeze his warm little hand and apologized, "I'm sorry, I can't go with you tomorrow. Can you go with mom?"

Then, I opened my phone and logged into the Disney official account. I saw the screen full of remaining tickets, so I booked the two earliest tickets without thinking.
