Chapter 54: Sister-in-law is amazing
"Thank you for your hard work!"
…
Shao Feng did what he said. Three days later, he bought a brand new tape recorder, plus a set of English tapes and teaching materials. He refused to take money from Su Hanyan and Zhu Lin, but the two insisted on giving it to him.
The tape recorder was placed in the dormitory. During the day, the three of them went to work in their respective departments. At night, they insisted on listening to and reading English to continue their studies. Their days were quite fulfilling.
Ever since Lin Qingyu got into trouble for organizing a New Year's Day program and was dealt with by Section Chief Niu, she also lost the qualification for selection as an advanced individual. She has been behaving herself and not daring to jump around these days. She has been concentrating on preparing for the New Year's Day party, hoping to restore Section Chief Niu's opinion of her through this incident.
She became obedient, and Su Hanyan's life became much quieter and peaceful.
There has been no news from home for many days. I don’t know how my father’s health is or whether the house problem has been resolved.
She felt that she needed to find time to go back and take a look, and she absolutely could not let Wei Guiqin give her up.
What a coincidence.
After lunch that day, she was dozing off on her desk when the phone in the office rang. She answered the call and ran to the factory gate.
What surprised her was that the security guard said on the phone that her family was looking for her. Unexpectedly, the family member turned out to be her sister-in-law Wu Jiaojiao.
"Hanyan, you finally came out. I was almost frozen to death." Wu Jiaojiao put her hands in her sleeves, hunched her neck, shrugged her shoulders, and walked around in circles.
"Sister-in-law? Why are you here?" she asked puzzledly.
"I have good news for you." Wu Jiaojiao grabbed Su Hanyan's arm and pulled her to the corner of the factory gate, saying happily, "It's done!"
"What's done?"
"The house issue is settled." Wu Jiaojiao said with a smug look on her face, "After you left, mom and the third child still wanted to give the house to Lin Zhiqiu's mom, but I refused to accept it. We started crying, making a scene, and even threatening to hang ourselves! All the neighbors in the courtyard came out to watch the fun. They all spoke up for you, thinking that mom shouldn't have given the house to Lin Zhiqiu's mom. Dad also said that if she continued to make trouble, he would just move to the factory as well."
"So... the house is saved?" Su Hanyan smiled and gave her a thumbs up, "Sister-in-law, you are awesome!"
Wu Jiaojiao was delighted: "That's for sure. What Lin Zhiqiu did was wrong. I have never heard of a girl who would bring her mother to live with her husband's family after getting married! It's really new!"
"Now that the house issue has been resolved, Lin Zhiqiu didn't say anything?" Su Hanyan asked.
"That's exactly the second thing I want to tell you! Originally, if Lin Zhiqiu lived in this house, the two families would discuss getting a marriage certificate. But since Lin Zhiqiu's mother didn't live in this house, the marriage naturally couldn't be concluded, so they just simply got engaged first."
Su Hanyan smiled and said, "Then my mother and third brother will hate me to death."
"Of course not? Especially the third brother! He was originally looking forward to hugging his wife in the evening, but now he can only wait anxiously. As for when to get married, doesn't it still depend on the Lin family? You don't know how mad your mother is at you. Her lungs are about to explode!" Wu Jiaojiao spoke with passion and emotion, and her imitation was vivid.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
