After breakfast, the sun rose outside. Lin Yan didn't have the habit of going out to bask in the sun in this weather, so she pulled Lu Yingqian to the living room to watch TV with the air conditioner on.
I set off for the Lin family next door at around ten o'clock. Before leaving, I stopped by the convenience store at the entrance of the alley and bought two boxes of milk.
Lin Yan was a little surprised when she saw the two boxes of milk in Lu Jinghuai's hands.
"I didn't expect you to be so simple and unpretentious."
[I thought the things the overbearing president gave out were all high-end luxury goods that suited his status.]
Lu Jinghuai glanced at Lin Yan calmly and explained, "Grandma Lin won't accept anything else."
The Lin family is just an ordinary family. Even though their daughter married into the Song family, they did not benefit much from the Song family. They have lived in the alley for so many years without moving.
The three of them were carrying milk but went to the next door. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family killing a chicken.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family is plump and looks very festive. When she saw Lu Jinghuai, she probably knew that he was the child of the Lu family next door.
She also knew that her mother-in-law had invited people over for dinner today, so she quickly stood up and greeted them.
"Is this Jing Huai? The child has grown so big already?" Then he shouted into the house: "Mom, Jing Huai is here."
Lu Jinghuai also smiled and nodded. Grandma Lin came out of the house and saw the three of them. She quickly invited them into the house. When she saw the milk in Lu Jinghuai's hand, she complained.
"Tell me, grandma asked you to come for dinner, so you should just come. Why are you carrying things when you're here?"
Lu Jinghuai smiled and didn't respond. He put the milk down and said, "I didn't buy anything."
The people in the room seemed to have heard the noise in the living room, and both of Lin's granddaughters came out.
"Brother Jinghuai." The two greeted him obediently. The two girls were quite curious about Lin Yan and Lu Yingqian behind Lu Jinghuai. They knew that one of them was Lu Jinghuai's wife.
Song Jingya's love rival, this label made them more curious about Lin Yan.
In the end, the little granddaughter of the Lin family couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jinghuai, is that my sister-in-law?"
Before Lu Jinghuai could answer, the old lady from the Lin family glanced at her granddaughter and introduced her: "This is your sister-in-law, and this is your sister Qianqian. Did you two play with Qianqian when you were little? Don't you remember?"
The little granddaughter of the Lin family pouted: "How can I remember? I was only that old at that time."
Grandma Lin looked at her helplessly, but the little girl still had curved eyes and took the initiative to greet her.
"Sister Qianqian, sister-in-law, hello, I'm Lin Ling, and this is my cousin Lin Qing."
Lu Yingqian smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Lu Yingqian."
"Hello." Lin Yan nodded and greeted her proactively. The little girl's eyes were clear. She had a conflict with Song Jingya, but she would not take her anger out on a little girl.
"My last name is Lin, too. Lin Yan. You can call me Sister Yanyan or Sister-in-law."
"My sister-in-law's last name is also Lin. What a coincidence! Maybe we were one family three hundred years ago? Isn't that right, Grandma?"
Lin Ling's eyes lit up when she heard Lin Yan's name, and she turned to ask Grandma Lin.
Grandma Lin also nodded with a smile: "Indeed, maybe we were a family in the past."
Lin Ling got the answer she wanted and went back to talk to Lin Yan and Lu Yingqian with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, you are really beautiful, and you seem to have a good temper." The girl was not very old, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was very sweet-mouthed.
The living room was full of joy. Lin Yan had developed a good impression of the little girl Lin Ling. Lu Yingqian, who was a little shy at first, was also pulled over by Lin Ling to talk to her for a few words.
Finally, when talking about Lu Yingqian's plan to take the college entrance examination next year, Lin Ling took out her cell phone and added Lu Yingqian's contact information.
Lin Ling will be in her third year of high school after school starts, and will also take the college entrance examination next year, so she can share her study experience with Lu Yingqian.
However, at this moment.
"Brother, you're here." A voice broke the harmony in the living room. It was Song Jingya coming down from upstairs.
Song Jingya didn't look very well, probably because she didn't get enough rest yesterday.
The living room suddenly became quiet, and when Lin Ling saw that it was Song Jingya, she stopped talking.
Song Jingya's gaze fell on Lu Jinghuai. Lu Jinghuai raised his eyes and just glanced at her lightly, said "hmm" and then looked away.
In an instant, Song Jingya's face turned ugly, and her eyes fell on Lin Ling again. Lin Ling was chatting enthusiastically with Lin Yan and Lu Yingqian just now, and was sitting between the two of them.
Song Jingya snorted coldly: "Lin Ling, whose sister are you? Why have I never seen you talk to me like this before? You're just a flatterer."
The last three words were not spoken loudly but were loud enough for the young people in the living room to hear. Lin Ling pouted in anger and was about to say something.
Lin Qing spoke first, interrupting Lin Ling's dissatisfaction: "Qianqian and the others are guests. As the host, isn't it our duty to entertain them?"
Song Jingya snorted coldly and glared at Lin Ling before coming down the stairs and sitting directly on the sofa in the living room.
Lin Ling curled her lips, as if she was dissatisfied with Lin Qing's interruption. She was about to say something but was stopped by Lin Qing's look.
Lin Ling pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, but she knew that Lin Qing stopped her from having a conflict with Song Jingya for her own good. Song Jingya was not a good-tempered person and was particularly vindictive.
When they were young, whenever they quarreled, Song Jingya would cry and make a fuss, and the adults would coax her.
Later, he deliberately pushed her down the stairs.
She also told her parents at the time, but her father said she probably remembered it wrong and didn't believe her.
Her mother naturally believed her and immediately went to Song's mother to ask for an explanation. Instead, she was humiliated by Song's mother, who told her that she would never return to her parents' home again and that she would be bullied by her sister-in-law if she came back.
Later, because of that incident, her father and mother quarreled for half a year.
Lin Ling pursed her lips tightly, but stopped talking.
Lin Yan glanced at Song Jingya, then at Lin Ling's tense little face, and probably understood what was going on, so she stopped talking.
Grandma Lin didn't know if she noticed the strange atmosphere in the living room, but when the children stopped talking, she started asking some questions.
First, he asked how long Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan had been married and when they planned to have a child.
This was the second time Lin Yan heard the words of urging her to give birth. However, the original mother of the Lin family urged her to give birth so that she could have a child to secure her status. However, the grandmother of the Lin family followed the tradition of the older generation and believed that one should have children after getting married.
So for this kindness, Lin Yan didn't know how to respond for a moment and subconsciously looked at Lu Jinghuai beside her.
[There's no rush to have a baby. Aside from that one incident on the cruise ship where Song Jingya assisted, Lu Jinghuai and I have been innocent and childless.]
Lu Jinghuai's expression remained calm. Seeing the gaze fall on him, he did not avoid it and answered frankly: "It should be soon."
Lin Yan’s expression froze:???
【Lu Jinghuai spoke without hesitation.】
On the other side, Song Jingya's face changed completely after hearing Lu Jinghuai's answer. It turned pale and her lower lip, which was bitten tightly, was bleeding.
