Upon hearing Li Ying's words, Ya Ru's tears flowed uncontrollably.
"sister in law."
Li Ying handed a handkerchief to Ya Ru, saying, "My older brother is sometimes tongue-tied, so don't take it to heart. You can talk to me about anything."
Ya Ru wiped away her tears, took a letter from under her pillow and handed it to Li Ying.
Li Ying took the letter, opened it, and found it was written in her elder brother's handwriting to a girl named Shuo Shuo. One of the sentences in the letter was: "A man will not love only one woman."
Upon seeing this letter, Li Ying nearly exploded.
What?
How could my brother do such a thing? He wrote love letters to young girls in the factory while my sister-in-law was pregnant, and what's worse, she found out about those love letters.
"Sister-in-law, who gave you this letter?"
"It was your older brother's apprentice who gave it to me. I never expected him to write love letters to someone else behind my back. When I asked him about it, he said I was being unreasonable. How was I being unreasonable?" Ya Ru started crying again.
“Sister-in-law, you're pregnant now, you can't get angry or too upset. I think there must be something going on behind this. I'll go find my brother and ask him to give you an explanation!”
Ya Ru wiped away her tears. "If he can't explain himself clearly, I'll leave after giving birth and I will never stay!"
Li Ying nodded and assured him, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I promise I'll make sure my brother realizes his mistakes!"
Li Ying left the room and went into Yang Mei's room, where she showed the letter to her mother.
"How could your older brother be so unreliable?"
"Mom, don't you know your own son? My older brother sometimes likes to hold back his words, but I don't believe he would do something like this. Maybe this letter wasn't written by him?"
"That's right. A few days ago, a colleague at the factory told me that your older brother took on a new apprentice, and that girl is very clingy and always bothers him. I didn't think much of it. Do you think she has anything to do with this?"
Without even needing to investigate, we know what happened. It must be that the younger apprentice who likes the eldest brother and wants to rise in rank. He deliberately wrote a love letter exactly like the eldest brother's at this critical juncture to ruin the relationship between the eldest brother and his wife.
My sister-in-law is a very sensitive person, and pregnant women are also vulnerable and prone to overthinking. As a result, the two of them are bound to have conflicts.
“I’m going to find my older brother. Mom, you stay home and watch over Chenchen. If he’s hungry, give him some milk, not too much, just seventy or eighty milliliters.”
"Okay, go ahead."
Li Ying took her second brother, Li Ting, out to find her eldest brother.
"You're talking to your older brother about something, and you even brought me along. Are you afraid he'll scold you?" Li Ting said with a smile.
"Second brother, stop laughing it off. What eldest brother did is adultery. If sister-in-law gets angry and leaves, let's see how he can still laugh then?"
Li Ting rubbed his nose: "My brother isn't a womanizer, otherwise he wouldn't have pursued my sister-in-law for so many years, even giving up the opportunity to study abroad."
"Sometimes men's love is even shorter than fireworks."
Li Ting shook his head: "Don't drag me into this. I'm not that kind of person. Let me tell you, if I fall for someone, it can only be that person, and no one else will do!"
Li Ying and Li Ting arrived at the gate of the machinery factory, registered with the gatekeeper, and then went inside to find someone.
The two walked into the factory, and not far away, they saw a man pushing a bicycle walking with a girl in work clothes. They didn't know what he was saying, but the girl was very animated. Sometimes she walked backwards, and sometimes she walked side by side with him. They really looked like a couple.
Li Ying stood with her hands on her hips, indicating that the letter was not unfounded.
The first thing Li Ying did when she got home was to deal with her older brother's extramarital affair. She was speechless, but he was her own brother, and she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
"Big brother!"
Li Ying quickened her pace and came to the two people.
Li Pei looked up when he heard the voice, saw Li Ying, and smiled: "Yingying, you're back?"
The girl next to Li Pei looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a delicate face and a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, exuding a cute and playful charm.
"Master, I'll go ahead now."
The girl glanced at Li Ying, then turned and left.
Li Ting had already walked over and took the opportunity to glance at the girl a few times.
"Big brother, is this the new girl you like?"
Li Pei's face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about? She's my apprentice, what's this about liking or disliking her?"
Li Ting winked at Li Ying.
Li Ying knew that if she asked her older brother rashly, he would naturally deny it.
"What are you doing here? Weren't you on trial?" Li Pei asked Li Ting, his eyes wide.
"Big brother, are you still my big brother? How can you be a big brother like this? You'd love for me to be put on trial, wouldn't you?"
Li Ting was displeased and retorted a few times to his older brother.
Li Pei sneered: "During the time you were interrogated, our family was shrouded in darkness every day. My parents would sigh whenever they mentioned your name, but you were fine as if nothing had happened."
“We agreed on this from the first day I enlisted: no matter what happens, my family won’t have to worry about me. No, why are you dragging me into this when we’re talking about your situation?”
"What's wrong with me? I'm fine."
"Brother, you have something to say, something really important. Let's find a place to talk."
Li Ying grabbed her older brother, and Li Ting snatched his bicycle.
"This bicycle is nice, I'll take it from now on."
At the beach, the three siblings walked slowly along the coastline.
"Get to the point, I don't have time for that." Since becoming the factory director, Li Pei has been extremely busy and hasn't had a single day off.
"Brother, is this letter something you wrote to your little apprentice?"
Li Ying took out the letter and handed it to Li Pei.
Upon seeing the letter, Li Pei's face darkened: "Ya Ru told you that I wrote love letters to someone, right? That's utter nonsense. I'm busy with factory work all day long, how could I have time for such messy things?"
“Just because you don’t have time doesn’t mean others don’t. Brother, you didn’t even glance at the contents of the letter before you got so angry. Could it be that you really want to wrong your sister-in-law?” Li Ying bluntly stated.
Li Pei was frustrated and angry: "Your sister-in-law is just making things up out of thin air. She's been giving me trouble day after day with a letter from who-knows-who. If I had other things on my mind, I wouldn't have pursued her like that."
"Brother, you know how serious you were when you were pursuing her. Have you ever thought that you no longer valued her just because you got her?"
Li Pei was stumped by the question.
"Back then, you liked your sister-in-law so much that you wrote her love letters one after another, and even gave up the opportunity to go abroad, only wanting to be with her. Now that she's pregnant, your attitude has changed. How can you expect her to feel this way?"
"I did not betray her!" Li Pei believed himself to be upright and honest.
"Since you didn't betray your sister-in-law, why did you argue with her?"
