University student Qin Xiaoyu died with deep regrets, betrayed by a scumbag. Reborn, she finds herself in the body of a 25-year-old young widow with depression and two children, living in the 1980s...
"Yes, without this experience, how would I know how good you and your fourth sister-in-law are? How would I know that there are so many people in this world who love me? How would I know that God really gave me a mother who loves me? At the time, I thought I would never get out of this situation, but I thought that no matter what the outcome, with these people, it was all worth it."
"Brother, you know what, my sister-in-law's behavior has really surprised me. Thinking back to the beginning, I thought you were blind to marry her, but now it seems I was the one who was blind."
"Don't say that. It's not like you're influenced by your company. She's the way she is today because of you. If she were with someone else, she'd probably still be the same." Qi Si's face broke into a smile as his wife came running over.
Her face was flushed, and when she looked at Qi Si, her eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy.
"Come here, stop drinking, or you'll have a headache tomorrow." Qi Si took the cup from her hand.
"No, I'm happy today, let me get drunk just this once." Little Fourth Sister-in-law pouted, trying to snatch it back.
Qi Si used his other hand to stop her, causing her to fall onto his lap. Ignoring the crowd, Qi Si kissed her on the cheek.
Zhou Yue happened to see this and started teasing them, pointing and laughing. Everyone looked over, and Xiao Si's wife was so embarrassed that she couldn't lift her head and hid her face in Qi Si's arms. Everyone was fed a mouthful of dog food.
Fourth Sister-in-law remained nestled in Qi Si's arms, refusing to come out, especially with so many children present. Qi Si patted her shoulder to remind her. Only then did he realize that her shoulders were heaving; she was crying.
What she had endured during this time had finally erupted at this moment.
Qi Si stopped talking and silently held her in his arms, letting her cry her heart out.
There's just no end to the things that happen in this world. Back then, Xiao Si's wife was just a rebellious teenager who married Qi Si because she was pregnant. And Qi Si only wanted a son; he planned to divorce her after the child was born.
Xiao Si's wife didn't disappoint him either. She caused a ruckus all day long, was jealous of Qin Xiaoyu's tasteless behavior, and got into a fight with Tang Wenwen, almost causing a death.
Qin Xiaoyu had watched Xiao Si's sister-in-law grow up step by step, and after this incident, it seemed unlikely that the two would ever be separated again. It could be considered a happy ending.
The commotion lasted until midnight. When Qin Xiaoyu saw that the children were all listless and the old man looked tired, she organized everyone to go home.
The Zhou family wanted to save time and didn't want to go anywhere else, so they booked a room, dumped the little ones in one by one, and settled in.
Commander Wang and his family didn't leave either; they just took their child upstairs. Now that things have returned to normal, they're moving back to their own place.
When Mrs. Fang heard that they were moving away, she grumbled again. Qin Xiaoyu noticed that she never minded having too many people; the more people, the happier she was.
"I'll ask my older sister to come over and stay for a few days tomorrow. She's never come before." Qin Xiaoyu found a scapegoat.
On their way home, Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei each drove a car. In Qin Xiaoyu's car sat Commander Zhou and his wife, with Zhou Xing's mother holding little Jiajia. Commander Zhou held his drowsy little sister.
A Lei's car was in front, with Mrs. Fang and her son inside.
"Mom, you really need to get some rest. You've been working yourself to the bone lately." Qin Xiaoyu looked at Zhou Xing's mother with concern.
"I'm not afraid of being tired, as long as everything goes well. I can relax now. You go and get busy at your shop tomorrow, you don't need to worry about Jiajia. There's not much time left until Paris Fashion Week, so you need to hurry." Zhou Xing's mother was very thoughtful.
"My health is the most important thing, not yours. Let's go to Third Sister's place to rest in a couple of days." Qin Xiaoyu had heard that Third Sister's business was booming.
I've been busy with Qi Si's affairs lately and haven't spent much time with the kids. It's a good opportunity to take them all over to relax and have a vacation.
“Okay, you can arrange it however you want. I don’t like to worry about things.” Zhou Xing’s mother was the easiest to talk to. Now that her fourth son was back, what was there to complain about? She felt that God had been kind to her, after all, He hadn’t taken her son away.
Life finally returned to normal, but then news came from my hometown that the little monkey had died.
Upon hearing that he was dead, Qin Xiaoyu's first reaction was, "How did he die? Could it be Qi Si's fault again?"
"He drank too much and lay down on the road making a scene. A driver, oblivious to his surroundings, ran him over." My cousin-in-law lowered her voice after saying this, "Let me tell you something that scared me."
"What's wrong?" Qin Xiaoyu's emotions also became tense because of her.
“She’s your godmother,” my cousin-in-law said in a cryptic tone.
This is a bit scary.
With Qi Si's matter mostly resolved, his sister-in-law was finally able to focus on her own family affairs. Xiao Li's belly was growing bigger every day, and as her mother-in-law, she couldn't afford to neglect her responsibilities.
When the children moved out, they left behind a lot of toys. Some of them were new, and it seemed a waste to throw them away, so she asked her cousin to bring them down from upstairs so she could pick through them.
"Why should my grandson use someone else's old things? Buy him new ones." The cousin was still unhappy.
“Father-in-law, we’re not doing this to save a few dollars, it’s for environmental protection,” Xiaoli’s mother, who had come over to help, quickly explained.
My cousin's wife doesn't have as much knowledge as Xiaoli's mother, and she doesn't understand how using old toys is environmentally friendly, but since we're in-laws, whatever she says is right.
The two of them spent most of the day sorting and tidying up, and managed to pack all seven large boxes. They took most of them to the reading room and distributed them to the children for free.
A small portion was left for the children to play with.
It was almost lunchtime, and Tang Hu's mother was already preparing the meal. Xiao Chen's mother also brought over some fresh vegetables to help. The cousin-in-law saw Wang Da Niang come out of Building Number Two with a stern face.
"Little Fish Auntie, come over for lunch!" the cousin-in-law called out loudly. This old lady had a stubborn personality, and Qin Xiaoyu had told her before she left not to force her, but to let her be as she pleased, so that she would be at ease.
Normally, Aunt Wang would never bother to send her away, but today she was unusually in the mood and came over to watch them pack up their toys.
"This little car is nice." Xiaoli's mother pulled out a car, and it really was quite nice; it was a tanker truck, and it was painted yellow.
“Boys all love cars. When Xiaolong was little, his family was poor, and he played with a car with a broken wheel for several years.” His cousin-in-law put the toy car into a box, which she planned to keep.
At noon, Aunt Wang did indeed have a meal with them. Although Xiaoli's mother was very knowledgeable, she was particularly obsessed with fortune telling, pestering Aunt Wang with questions about everything under the sun. Eventually, Aunt Wang got annoyed and pushed away her bowl of rice and went out.
The box containing the toys was still outside. My cousin-in-law was in a daze. She saw her bend down as she passed by, but she didn't pay any attention to her.
In the afternoon, seeing that the weather was nice, she brought out a large basin and washed all the toys that could be washed. Whether they were gifts or kept for herself, they all needed to be clean.
It's strange, though, that little yellow oil tanker just won't come out of sight.
It rained every night for the past few days, and the weather became muggy by evening. Xiaoli, who was pregnant, couldn't sleep well, so Tanglong sat with her in the living room and watched TV.
My cousin's wife came downstairs, took a look, gave me a few instructions, and then went upstairs to sleep.
