Chapter 25 Payback

In fact, Huangjia Village and Qianjin Village are adjacent, otherwise, Huang Xinran would not have gone back to her parents' home after taking a nap. The reason why she made this special trip was simply to make up for the mistake of losing the few hundred yuan that Lu Yunchen had mailed back to her.

When the mother and her two children arrived at Huangjia Village, the gate was closed. She knocked on the door for a long time before her sister-in-law came to open the door with her big belly. When she saw that it was her who came back with the child, she was stunned.

"Sister-in-law."

Huang Xinran took the initiative to say hello.

"Ai."

The eldest sister-in-law Wenying didn't have a good impression of the younger sister-in-law. But after all, she was a guest, so she forced a smile and turned to lead them into the house: "Little sister is here. Are you too hot? Look at this child's face, it's so hot... Come in and have a rest."

"The child was overheated. I forgot to wear a straw hat when I went out."

Huang Xinran was not polite and took the two into the house to rest. Although she was reborn, some habits did not come back with her. For example, she was not used to such a small thing as a straw hat...

Seeing her sister-in-law trying to pour her some water despite her big belly, she hurriedly got up to help.

"Sister-in-law, take a rest. I'll do it myself."

She smiled brightly and said in a gentle manner: "Your belly is getting quite big. Is my little nephew being naughty?"

"It's alright..."

Wenying felt very uncomfortable.

Especially when her sister-in-law spoke softly and smiled at her, she felt uncomfortable all over. It's only been a few days since we last saw each other. The last time her sister-in-law came, she had a gloomy face, as if everyone owed her a million dollars. She smiled so brightly today, could it be... a weasel wishing a happy new year to a chicken?

Thinking of this, she became uneasy.

These days, every family is living in hardship.

Because of the sister-in-law's marriage, both her parents-in-law and her husband felt ashamed of their sister-in-law. For this reason, she came to her parents' house from time to time in the past few years to catch the autumn breeze. What's more, whenever my sister-in-law asks for anything, her parents-in-law and husband will do their best to satisfy her.

Fortunately, this man still had some shame. Although he relied on his favor to ask for some things, it did not exceed her bottom line, so she turned a blind eye to it.

The last time I came here, the other party actually asked to borrow money and said something like "the more the better".

Is her family extremely wealthy? Or does she run a charity?

Without mountains of gold and silver, how can “the more the better” be achieved?

However, Huang Hongyi still secretly lent her thirty yuan. When she found out that night, they had a big fight. If it weren't for the unborn child in her belly, she would have wanted to give up on this life.

Now, my sister-in-law is here again...

Her mind raced, and she forced a smile: "Of course you came here, is it...?"

"Oh, I just haven't been here for a while, so I came to see my parents and brother. Are they all right?"

Wenying's face twitched a few times.

It’s only been a few days since we last met, and you feel like you haven’t been here for a long time?

Do you plan to live permanently at your mother's house?

To Wenying, it seemed like they hadn't seen each other for a few days, but to Huang Xinran, it felt like they had really been together for a long time.

After she was imprisoned in her previous life, her father Huang Zhiye died of rage. The unfilial daughter pissed off her father to death, and her mother cried and has been in poor health ever since. Her eldest brother Huang Hongyi could not even hold his head up in the village.

"What's good about that? Don't you know everything?"

Wenying rolled her eyes, but when she saw the timid looks from Yaya and Maomao, she forced herself to hold back.

He stood up and added some sugar to the child's water, then brought it over and pushed it in front of the child.

"Huang Xinran, you have to understand. You are already married, and the Lu family is your home no matter how bad it is. You have children, why don't you live a good life and mess around every day? You do everything according to your own wishes. Have you ever thought about your parents and your brother? If that matter... gets out, how can they hold their heads up in the village?!"

Huang Xinran was stunned.

Could it be that what the sister-in-law was talking about was about her and Xiao Huayu?

"I……"

"Don't listen to her nonsense!"

Just as Huang Xinran was trying to defend himself, his elder brother Huang Hongyi came back in a hurry.

He had obviously just come back from the fields. He rolled up his trousers and was barefoot. The mud on his feet covered his insteps. He came into the house with sweat all over his head. He glared at Wenying first, then called out to his sister, "Don't talk nonsense when there is nothing to do. Don't make trouble for no reason! Ranran, are you overheated? Drink some water."

"elder brother."

Huang Xinran smiled quickly, "My sister-in-law even added sugar to the water. It's really sweet. Would you like to try it?"

"You and the child drink, and your brother won't be thirsty."

He turned around and picked up Maomao: "Come and show uncle... Hey, has Maomao gained some weight recently? He looks a lot whiter. And Yaya too..."

"Brother! The child is still growing, don't exaggerate..."

There is a saying in the local area that children should not be praised. They should be suppressed, otherwise, they will easily get sick.

"I'm not exaggerating, I'm just telling the truth. Come, Yaya, give uncle a hug too..."

Wenying, however, couldn't bear to see this scene of loving brother and filial sister. What's more, she was still angry about Huang Xinran borrowing thirty yuan from her last time.

"Mr. Huang, please explain yourself clearly. What do you mean I am talking nonsense?"

Seeing that the two of them were getting along better and better, she pushed Huang Hongyi in anger and said, "Don't think I don't know what you have done. I, Wenying, am pretending to be deaf and dumb, but that doesn't mean I am really stupid. If you don't make things clear today, I will never forgive you!"

"You, what are you talking about?!"

Huang Hongyi couldn't bear it, his face turned red, he grabbed Wenying's hand and growled.

Finally, he smiled apologetically at his sister and said, "Sister, your sister-in-law is just outspoken. She has no ill intentions."

"I know. Last time I borrowed 30 yuan from my parents and then borrowed 3 yuan from you. I really shouldn't have done that."

Huang Xinran spoke slowly and took out the money from his pocket: "So I came here this time to visit my parents, bring Yaya and Maomao to see their grandmother, and visit my unborn niece. At the same time, I also came to pay back the money."

In her previous life, she disliked her sister-in-law.

Because her parents forced her to marry Lu Yunchen, she and Xiao Huayu's dream of living together was cut off, so she has always been unwilling to accept it. Her parents knew her thoughts and could only compensate her in other ways.

The eldest brother had the same idea. Whenever there was something delicious or drinkable at home, the first person he thought of was her.

You may not talk about it for one or two days, but if it goes on for a long time, your wife will naturally have some opinions.

However, although Wenying had a sharp tongue, she was still devoted to her elder brother, taking care of her husband and children, and raising them until she was in prison.

Later, when she was released on medical parole, it was her sister-in-law who did her best to take care of her personally...

"Here, take it, big brother! The extra 5 yuan is for me to buy candy for my future nephew."

She counted out 40 yuan and put it into her brother's hand. At the end, she smiled apologetically at her sister-in-law.

Wenying was stunned.

She never thought that Huang Xinran came here to pay back the money. For a moment, she was at a loss.

Huang Hongyi was stunned for a while, and after he came to his senses, he stuffed the money back into her pocket.

"Didn't you say you needed it urgently? Just use it first. Your family doesn't need the money..."

"I don't need this much right now, brother, just take it."

Seeing Wenying getting anxious, Huang Xinran suppressed a smile and said, "Besides, I came here because I want to ask you for help. If you don't accept the money, I won't dare to ask for it."

"This……"

Huang Hongyi slowly took back the money after hearing this: "What are we talking about whether to help or not? If you have any questions, just tell me!"
