Auntie was delighted to hear Su Xueli's words and said, "That's great, that's great. I'll have to trouble you in the future. I don't have any other hobbies; I just read when I have free time."
Su Xueli said, "I also like reading. For us women, there is no better cosmetic than a book."
The second aunt's eyes flashed, and she smiled, saying, "Niece-in-law, I can tell at a glance that you are not simple. You are indeed a girl with depth and thought."
Su Xueli smiled modestly, "Oh, not at all, I'm not even one percent as good as my second aunt."
Second Aunt laughed and said to Wei Mingshen, "Mingshen, look how lovely your wife's little mouth is. If you two ever quarrel in the future, it's all your fault. Second Aunt will always side with her nephew's wife."
Hearing this, Wei Mingshen felt a pang of sadness. What would her parents, who loved her, and all her relatives think if Su Xueli left him?
Su Xueli said with a smile, "If he ever bullies me, I'll come to my second aunt right away."
Auntie smiled and said, "You've come to the right person. I'll educate him properly, just like I did when he was in school."
After joking around for a while, Su Xueli suggested, "Second Aunt, it's almost Chinese New Year, let's go to the hair salon to get our hair done. It's Chinese New Year, so we should all look brand new from head to toe, right?"
Although my second aunt is very beautiful, her closed-off personality over the years has made her indifferent to her appearance; as long as she is clean and neat, that's enough for her.
Her clothes were old, and her hairstyle was a short bob cut that she and her neighbor had cut together. Her appearance was no different from that of an ordinary peasant woman, but her demeanor still revealed her cultural background.
Auntie touched her hair, which needed a trim, and said, "Hehe, I've been busy giving extra lessons to students who aren't doing well in their studies lately, so I haven't had time to get a haircut yet."
But I don't need to go to the barbershop. I'll just ask the lady across the hall to cut my hair tomorrow. We always do it this way; she cuts my hair and I cut hers.
Su Xueli explained to her, "Second Aunt, it's like this, my sister-in-law opened a hair salon in our town this year. She can cut many hairstyles and also perm hair."
Of course, business isn't great since it just opened; there aren't many people going to the hair salon yet. But it's almost Chinese New Year, so let's support her business a little. Second Aunt, you're not short of money, let's go together.”
When my second aunt heard this, she couldn't refuse; it was a matter of personal favor.
Considering it's the Lunar New Year, let's make an exception this time.
The second aunt smiled and said, "Since it's your sister-in-law's hair salon, let's go and support her."
Su Xueli bit her lip and said cheerfully, "I knew my second aunt would give me face, so let's go tomorrow morning. I'll pick her up, okay?"
My second aunt said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you at home."
As they walked down the street after leaving her second aunt's house, Wei Mingshen asked her, "Why did you insist on taking your second aunt to the hair salon? Just to support your sister-in-law?"
Su Xueli countered, "Do you think so?"
Wei Mingshen shook his head.
Su Xueli said, "Actually, I wanted to take my second aunt out with me."
Wei Mingshen smiled wryly: "Your idea is good, but your second aunt has been isolating herself for twenty years. She's not someone you can take out."
Su Xueli wasn't sure either, but she was just giving it a try.
Wei Mingshen suddenly stopped, and Su Xueli stopped as well, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
In the soft moonlight of the newly risen moon, his face was silhouetted against the light, adding a touch of gentleness to his appearance.
He asked very seriously, "Sherry, if we don't get a divorce, are you willing to live a good life with me?"
“I don’t want to,” Su Xueli blurted out.
Wei Mingshen felt a pang of pain in his heart, then chuckled and said, "I don't want to either, we both have other people in our hearts... oh no, it's me who has other people in my heart."
Su Xueli said, "Yes, he is your first love. You love each other so deeply. I can't be so heartless as to break you up. I would be the one who suffers."
Wei Mingshen remained silent.
