"police?"
Zhang's mother said in a low and urgent voice, "It's the man in the room. He said he would take me to the police station and lock me up for ten or eight years!"
Zhang Jiahao frowned, "Brother-in-law, is there any misunderstanding here?"
Zhang's mother was stunned. "Brother-in-law?"
"Yes, didn't Xiaowei tell you? Nian Nian is married. This is her husband, a member of the armed police."
Zhang's mother was about to lose her temper, but she fell silent after hearing the second half of Zhang Jiahao's words. She looked at the three people standing in the middle of the living room from afar, angry but not daring to say anything.
Shi Nian saw that the insider had arrived, and she couldn't continue the drama. She snorted coldly, "You damn old woman, while everyone is here, I'm going to say this in advance. If you dare to bully my sister or Chenchen again, I'll let my husband arrest you!"
Zhang Jiahao was dissatisfied, "Can the armed police just take people away and detain them at will?"
Feng Sihan said in a cold voice, "You can try."
There was a moment of silence in the air, and Zhang Jiahao laughed, "Brother-in-law, why are you so serious? I'm just asking casually. Our family are all good citizens who abide by the law, and no one breaks the law knowingly. If my mother just offended you, I apologize to you on her behalf."
Feng Sihan didn't respond to him. Zhang Jiahao looked embarrassed, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Shi Nian began to dislike her brother-in-law. He had clearly promised her that he would protect her sister, but when she came home, she found that he was still missing and her sister was still being bullied by Zhang's mother.
She calmed down and asked, "Brother-in-law, why did you change the door lock?"
"My mom went out this morning and the key got stuck in the lock and couldn't be pulled out, so I called and asked someone to change the lock."
As soon as Zhang Jiahao and Zhang's father came in, Zhang's mother pulled Zhang's father back to the bedroom.
Shi Nian saw that Zhang Jiahao didn't seem to be lying, "Then give me the key to the new lock."
Zhang Jiahao looked embarrassed, "Niannian, I may not be able to give you the key for the time being."
Shi Nian frowned, "Why?"
"My mom and dad are getting old, and they don't want people to break into their house all the time."
Before Shi Nian could speak, Zhang Jiahao added, "It's not that I don't want to give you the key. I'll give you the spare key when my parents return to the countryside."
Shi Nian was reminded and asked in a dissatisfied tone, "When will they leave?"
Zhang Jiahao rolled his eyes slightly, "It will take at least another month."
"Another month?!"
"right."
Zhang Jiahao smiled at Shi Nian and said, "Xiao Wei is always at home. When you come over, just knock on the door, or give her a call and ask her to open the door for you. Isn't that the same?"
After saying that, he looked at Shi Wei, "Xiao Wei, what do you think?"
"Nian Nian, just listen to your brother-in-law."
Shi Nian heard this and did not refute it. She just said unhappily, "It doesn't matter whether you have the house key or not. As long as your parents are still here, I will come here often in the future."
Zhang Jiahao's smile froze for a moment, then he immediately returned to normal, "Of course, you have to come and see your sister."
Shi Nian hummed, her tone full of reproach, "Brother-in-law, why weren't you home just now?"
"Dad's stomach is a little uncomfortable, so I took him to the community clinic."
Shi Nian choked and didn't ask any more questions.
After leaving her sister's house, until she got into the car, Shi Nian spoke again, "Si Han, was I a little too much just now?"
"Why do you say that suddenly?"
"My brother-in-law's mother treated my sister badly, but I took my anger out on my brother-in-law, and ended up hating him as well."
Shi Nian bit her lower lip and was silent for a few seconds. Then she said indignantly, "But I think there is something wrong with my brother-in-law. I didn't feel it before, but now I suddenly realize that he always tries to smooth things over and sides with his mother without knowing right from wrong! If my sister was a hot-tempered person who liked to stir up trouble, it would be fine if my brother-in-law sides with his mother, but my sister is so kind and gentle... Does she deserve to be bullied just because she has a good temper?"
"It's your brother-in-law who didn't handle the household affairs properly. He's at fault."
Feng Sihan pursed his lips and said, "He just lied."
Shi Nian's attention was immediately drawn to his words, "Are you talking about my brother-in-law? What lie did he tell?"
"He said the old man had a stomachache and took him to the health room, but when he entered the room, he walked steadily and did not seem unwell. In his hand, there was a bottle of white wine in the plastic bag. The old man took the white wine into the bedroom and probably drank it himself."
Shi Nian opened her lips slightly, her expression becoming serious, "Si Han, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
Feng Sihan raised his eyebrows, "Nian Nian, are you questioning my insight and judgment?"
Shi Nian fell silent. Since Feng Sihan dared to say it so decisively, it must be true.
She frowned. Zhang Jiahao actually lied!
When she asked him what he was doing, she was just expressing her dissatisfaction with him leaving her sister and Zhang's mother alone at home. Even if he told the truth and said he was going to buy wine with his father, she would not do anything to him!
Shi Nian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that if her brother-in-law lied about this matter, he might also lie to her about changing the door lock!
She remembered very clearly how her key opened the lock very smoothly when she entered the door in the morning.
And her key was not the original one, but a special one made later!
How could Zhang's mother get the key stuck in the door lock after she left? !
The light in Shi Nian's eyes dimmed, swallowed by anger, "I really got to know Zhang Jiahao all over again!"
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will immediately take root and sprout.
She recalled the past and suddenly some clues to the confusion she had been having.
Her sister and brother-in-law have never had a quarrel in all these years since their marriage. She used to feel that they were a model couple, but now it seems that she is more inclined to believe that her sister is just enduring and whitewashing the situation.
She knew her sister's character too well, and this was what her sister would do in order not to make her worry.
Shi Nian's breathing was unstable. It seemed that the relationship between her sister and brother-in-law might not be as good as she usually saw. She would pay more attention to them in the future and find an opportunity to have a good talk with her sister.
Shi Nian perked up and tilted his head, "Si Han, thank you for cooperating with me just now."
“It should be.”
Shi Nian sighed, "I hope that old woman is afraid of you, because of our relationship, and will be more restrained towards my sister in the future."
The two went straight home.
After lunch, Shi Nian returned to the bedroom and received a message from Fang Ning.
[Niannian, you don't need to come to the store this afternoon. A customer has placed an order for door-to-door cleaning service. Just go there before 2:30.]
Immediately afterwards, Shi Nian received the address sent by Fang Ning.
After Shi Nian replied to the message, she sat up from the bed and packed the equipment she would need for the visit.
Some cats and dogs are timid by nature, and easily become stressed when they leave their familiar environment or are approached by strangers.
It is better for pets to bathe or trim their hair in a familiar place.
Fang Ning's store supports pets coming to the store for cleaning and grooming, and also supports door-to-door service by pet groomers.
In the afternoon, Shi Nian took Feng Sihan's car and went to the address sent by Fang Ning.
Feng Sihan parked the car downstairs in the community and followed her as she got out of the car. "Niannian, when will you finish?"
