Chapter 151 Jiang Sisi
Ever since the eldest, second and third sisters-in-law came, Xia Wanyang's life has been so comfortable. The second sister-in-law buys groceries and cooks, the eldest sister-in-law cleans and washes clothes, and the third sister-in-law He Hua is responsible for making clothes for the whole family and taking care of the children. The sisters-in-law all think that they can live in Shanghai thanks to her, so they don't allow her to do anything.
Zhang Shifeng and Zhang Shijing cannot go home every day in the army. They can only come back for two days during the weekly rest period. Zhang Shiyu also started to drive long distances, and a trip takes seven or eight days. Only Zhang Shiye gets off work on time every day.
The child grew up day by day, and soon it was the New Year of 1977.
Zhang Shifeng and Zhang Shiyu went back to the Dongfanghong Brigade and brought Zhang Heping, Qiao Shuyun, and the eldest and second children to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year.
While Xia Wanyang was folding clothes, Xiao Xingxing had already crawled in front of her and sat steadily opposite her.
The two children matured earlier than the other children. Xia Wanyang did not find it strange. It was not an exaggeration to say that the little ones who had been bathing in stream water since childhood were stronger and smarter than other children.
Xia Wanyang put down the clothes in her hand and looked at Xiao Xingxing, "What are you going to do?"
Little Star pointed at her chest and smacked her lips.
Xia Wanyang was stunned, then crossed her hands to block Xiao Xingxing's sight, "No, Daddy said you are a big kid now, you can't eat anymore, Mommy will make you some milk powder, okay?"
Little Star shook his head and said, "Eat...eat."
Just when Little Star was playing tricks, Little Yueyue also crawled over and knocked away Little Star's hand that was pointing at her mother, "No!"
Xia Wanyang was very surprised to see such a clear pronunciation. She immediately hugged Xiao Yueyue into her arms and kissed her on the face. "My dear daughter is so great. She even knows how to say no!"
Xiao Yueyue is a little shy, but she still likes her mother's kiss very much, "Mom, it smells so good..."
Little Star rolled her eyes at her sister when she saw her sister was being so servile...
"Wan Yang, my parents are here!"
Hearing her sister-in-law's shout, Xia Wanyang quickly picked up Xiao Yueyue. When she wanted to pick up Xiao Xingxing, Su Man came into the room and said, "Wanyang, you can't hold them together. The two of them together weigh more than 40 kilograms, and you only weigh more than 90 kilograms. Don't use your arms!"
Xia Wanyang giggled twice, and the two of them left the house, each holding a child.
It was the first time for Zhang Heping to see twins, a boy and a girl. Looking at the baby in his daughter-in-law's arms, his heart softened. "Is this my grandson? How come he is so handsome?"
This sentence made everyone in the room laugh. Aunt Qiao held Little Xingxing in her arms and said, "My eldest son and my little grandson are the lifeblood of the old man!"
Zhang Heping looked at the grandchildren gathered around his feet and touched each of them on the head. "No, they are all my lifeblood, the roots of our Zhang family!"
Yuan Hong smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, let's eat. My third sister-in-law and I made dumplings with pork and green onion fillings, which Dad likes to eat. Let's talk after dinner."
The family came to the restaurant. Zhang Heping looked at the spacious table and sighed, "My old daughter-in-law is really capable!"
Xia Wanyang said mischievously: "Dad, then do you want to move in and enjoy the blessing of being your daughter-in-law?"
Zhang Heping's old face turned red, "Dad won't come again. When the day comes that Dad can no longer work, if you don't despise me and your mother, we'll come again!"
After dinner, Xia Wanyang led the old couple to the most spacious and sunny bedroom on the second floor, "Dad and Mom, you guys take a shower and go to bed. My whole family will be here in the evening. I and my sisters-in-law will go prepare things."
Aunt Qiao held Little Star tightly in her arms and said, "I'm not tired. I finally got to see these kids. I have so much energy left. Go ahead and get busy!"
In the evening, Father Xia and Mother Xia led the whole family to the Western-style building. Father Xia also brought two bottles of good wine. "My dear relatives, we haven't seen each other for several years. We must have a good drink this time!"
Jiang Sisi came to Xia Wanyang, took her arm, and said enthusiastically: "Yangyang, sister-in-law has something to tell you. Do you have time? Let's go to your room to talk, okay?"
Xia Wanyang glanced at Jiang Sisi, then at Xia's mother, and then nodded, "Okay!"
The two came to Xia Wanyang's room. Jiang Sisi sat by the bed and hesitated to speak, "Yangyang, sister-in-law..."
"Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There is nothing we can't talk about!"
Jiang Sisi lowered her head. "My brother was arrested for gambling in a group. My parents asked me to find a solution, but what can I do as a woman? Can you persuade my father-in-law to look for Uncle Yu?"
Xia Wanyang paused for a long time, "Gambling? Sister-in-law, if Dad wants to help with this, he will be arrested, how can you say that?"
Jiang Sisi frowned, "Yangyang, sister-in-law knows that my relationship with you is not as good as yours with Liu Yue, but you have the same relationship with your eldest brother and second brother, right?"
Xia Wanyang laughed angrily, "What does this have to do with how close we are? If it's a fight, I can still help you with it, but if it's gambling, you can't even bring yourself to ask for it, so how can I say anything?"
Seeing Xia Wanyang was angry, Jiang Sisi softened her attitude again, "Sister-in-law didn't mean that. I also know that this matter is difficult to handle, but what can I do? My parents cry at home every day and can't even eat. How can I, as a daughter, bear to see them so sad!"
Xia Wanyang waved her hands, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I can't help you with this. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. Don't say I won't help you. I won't let my dad help you either. I advise you to keep your mouth shut."
Jiang Sisi didn't expect Xia Wanyang to say so much, "Yangyang, you can't do this!"
"What about me? You asked me to help because you didn't want to be the bad guy. I was pushed out and I was the one who got scolded. Even if dad helped, you might not thank me and think that this is what our Xia family should do. If I don't help, you won't lose anything. I'm in a difficult position. The abacus beads are falling on my face. Stop talking nonsense here!"
Jiang Sisi stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go ask your eldest brother for help. If he doesn't help me, I'll divorce him. I want to see if your family will help me."
Xia Wanyang also stood up, "Who are you threatening? If you want to divorce, then divorce. Who's afraid of who? My elder brother is a handsome man and works in the system. He can still find a young lady after the divorce!"
Jiang Sisi never expected Xia Wanyang to be so direct. "Okay, you don't want your family to be good after you get married. I'm different from you. If my family is not good, no one else can expect it to be good!"
Xia Wanyang's temper flared up, and she walked to the front door, "Mom, Xia Shuqian, come here!"
Jiang Sisi panicked. She had always thought that the people who were best controlled in this family were Liu Yue and Xia Wanyang. Liu Yue was a daughter-in-law like her and had no say. But Xia Wanyang was her father-in-law's favorite and had been married for so many years. She thought she had a good relationship with her. Regardless of whether this matter could be accomplished or not, it would be right to let Xia Wanyang go and have a say. She never expected Xia Wanyang to react so strongly!
