Nanqiao sat on the sofa, looking at the silent father Sheng, the busy mother Sheng, and the dazed Sheng Yanjun sitting at the table.

They were all familiar faces that she had seen when she first went to the countryside, but now they seemed a little strange. She didn't know if they had changed or if they had always been like this, or if she hadn't realized that they had always been like this.

"Go, go play with Xiaoguo and Sister Yaya." Anqiao looked at the children sitting next to him and asked them to go play with their sister.

"Okay, Mom, then I'll go find Sister Yaya."

"Well, go ahead," Nanqiao nodded.

"Sister-in-law, I have some language problems that I don't quite understand. Can you help me take a look?" Taohua came down from the second floor and looked at the awkward atmosphere in the living room. She made up an excuse to pull Nanqiao upstairs.

After the winter break at school, I have been dragging my feet and not going home. Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao are very busy. Taohua saw Nanqiao for the first time today after the break.

"Okay, I'll show you." Nanqiao said, saying hello to Sheng Yanchuan and followed Taohua upstairs.

Aunt Xiumei couldn't sit still and went to the kitchen to help cook. Only three people were left in the living room staring at each other.

"You and your room are well decorated." Nanqiao walked into Taohua's room, looked around, and sat down on a chair in the room.

"I didn't clean it up much. My sister-in-law helped me with these curtains and other things." Taohua paused and continued, "Sister-in-law, I thought you wouldn't come today."

"My sister-in-law came to my place yesterday. After all, it's the New Year. It's hard for your brother to keep being in a stalemate." Nanqiao flipped through the books on the table.

"You have a question for me, what is it?"

"What's the problem? I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable sitting here, so I want you to come up and stay with me for a while." Taohua took out some snacks from her cabinet and placed them in front of Nanqiao, and started chatting and laughing.

"By the way, sister-in-law, when we were having dinner last time, did something happen that I don't know about?" Taohua suddenly remembered the abnormality during this period and asked

"During dinner? Why do you ask?" Nanqiao thought of what happened last time, but he didn't know what Taohua knew.

"I've always felt that my roommates are acting strange. Before, they had a close relationship with Yue'er. Although they weren't very close, they would still say hello when they met. But since that dinner, they ignored Yue'er. Yue'er, on the contrary, became particularly close to me. Last time, she even invited me to stay at her house, but I was too busy to go." Taohua was very confused. She did ask her roommates, but they only said that they didn't like Yue'er and asked her to keep a distance from Yue'er. They refused to say anything else, which made her confused.

"That girl's mind is not right. If she asks you to go to her house again, you can say that your family doesn't agree." Nanqiao frowned when she heard this, thinking of Zhao Yue'er's brother whom she met at the entrance of Fusheng last time... Regarding Zhao Yue'er's desire for Taohua to live in her house, she didn't want to make malicious speculations, but she didn't want Taohua to take risks either.

"Is there really something going on?" Taohua looked dazed... She just couldn't figure it out for a while, and now she was chatting casually and brought it up. She didn't expect that there was really something going on.

"Well, you are young, and I don't want you to know these messed up things, so I have never told you."

"What's the matter, sister-in-law? Tell me, if she is really a bad person, I won't be with her anymore." In fact, Taohua was quite annoyed with her during this period. She had been hanging out in the library when she had nothing to do, but Zhao Yue kept asking her to go shopping or go out for a meal. She had to agree once even if she refused three or four times, which made it impossible for her to concentrate on her studies. In the past, she couldn't refuse because of her classmates, but if she really did something bad, Taohua would no longer consider her feelings.

Nanqiao looked at her and thought for a while. Taohua was actually not young anymore. It was not a bad thing to be prepared for some things. So he simply told her what happened that day and what happened the next day when Zhao Haoyu came to visit her.

After saying this, Taohua looked at Nanqiao with a puzzled and frightened expression... She stammered for a long time before she managed to utter a few words.

"No, what does she like about that old man, my brother?"

South Bridge: ....

Yes.... She's my sister...

Perhaps noticing Nanqiao's stunned look, Taohua scratched her head awkwardly and said, "No, sister-in-law, that's not what I meant. I meant that my second brother is ten years older than Zhao Yue'er, and she's not bad either. Why does she have to like my brother?"

"If you can get a rich son-in-law who is powerful, good-looking and capable, you won't have to work harder for a few years, and you won't have to worry about living a comfortable life in this life or the next," Nanqiao said indifferently. In her previous life, her father was surrounded by many beautiful women, and they had no bottom line. It was because her father loved her mother so much that he didn't let her take advantage of them, not to mention Sheng Yanchuan, who now looks more powerful and has more advantages. So she knew what Zhao Yue'er was thinking, but she knew it, and Nanqiao couldn't understand such a bottom-lineless behavior.

Taohua seemed to be thinking about what Nanqiao said. Nanqiao looked up at her and said, "Don't go astray. If you really don't want to work hard, just rely on me, your sister-in-law. I can also make you lie down."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I definitely can't do that." She has such a good brother and sister-in-law, why should she do those things that are not worthy of being mentioned in public? However, Zhao Yue'er can no longer have any contact with her in the future. If she has such thoughts, if something really happens in the future, it's hard to say how she will be tricked.

"How are you doing in school? Have you met any boys that you like?" Nanqiao smiled with a gossipy look on his face.

"No way, I spend all day in the classroom, library, or cafeteria. How can I have time to meet boys? Besides, I'm still young." Taohua's face was flushed and she was very shy.
