Chapter 188 Sister-in-law's Mother
Ai Xiaoxia could feel her elder brother's enthusiasm, and she accepted him in her heart.
When Lin Xiao came out with the fruit, Wang Lijuan also came back. She panicked when she saw Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen. She was talking to her mother downstairs just now. They didn’t hear it, right?
She asked Ai Xiaoxia guiltily: "Xiaoxia, when did you two come? I didn't see you downstairs just now. If I had seen you, you would have come up together."
From the conversation between Wang Lijuan and her mother just now, Ai Xiaoxia could tell that Wang Lijuan was a person with low self-esteem, but she could not be considered a wicked person. Her selfishness came from the wrong guidance of her original family, which was equivalent to being kidnapped by her natal family. Her mother had some similarities with Meng Qiuju, in that both of them made their married daughters work for their natal family, but this person was not as cruel as Meng Qiuju. Of course, after all, she was not Meng Qiuju's biological daughter.
But judging from Lin Xiao's attitude towards her, Ai Xiaoxia felt that Wang Lijuan should not have instigated their brother-sister relationship behind Lin Xiao's back, because Lin Xiao had always been very enthusiastic about them.
She didn't mention what happened just now, and said to Wang Lijuan: "We were talking while walking, and we didn't pay attention to our surroundings. We just arrived."
Wang Lijuan breathed a sigh of relief. Her mother often came to see her, and many times she did so without Lin Xiao's knowledge. When she was downstairs, she would call the number, and then hang up after two rings. Wang Lijuan would then know that it was her, and she would find an excuse to go downstairs, such as throwing out garbage or buying something.
Her parents' family didn't use her money, but they always asked her to do things. There were some things she didn't dare ask her parents-in-law for help, and she didn't even dare to tell Lin Xiao. She just used her own private money to buy things and asked others to do them for her.
Anyway, since she got married, her reputation in her parents' home has indeed increased greatly. Although it is tiring, she also enjoys this feeling.
Her parents had three daughters and no sons. Over the years, relatives often laughed at their family, saying that their family would be extinct and that their house and money would have to be given to outsiders in the future.
Wang Lijuan's grandparents never had a good face towards their family. When she was a child, she never got to sit at the table to eat when she went to her grandfather's house for the New Year. This childhood of being looked down upon made her always want to live a good life, to show it to her relatives and make them envious.
She worked very hard. She was originally a factory worker, but she studied hard, took exams, and became an accountant. Later, she married Lin Xiao, and she could be considered to have risen to the top of the social ladder.
In the past two years, their family's status in the eyes of relatives and friends has changed. Those who used to look down on their family now come to visit during the New Year holidays, which also makes Wang Lijuan feel very accomplished.
But relatives also made more and more demands. At first, she helped others out of a sense of superiority, but after a while, she also felt pressured.
Now she wants to stop, but she doesn't know how to end it or turn back. She is under a lot of pressure and has endocrine disorders, and she has never been able to conceive. She went to the hospital secretly, and the doctor always told her to calm down, but she really couldn't relax in the face of so many things.
Wang Lijuan actually regretted it. If she didn't have those vanity and lived a good life, the Lin family would really be a good in-law family.
But she didn't know what to do now. She didn't know how to communicate with Ai Xiaoxia, so she could only smile and change the subject, talking about how beautiful Ai Xiaoxia's clothes were.
Lu Jingshen and Lin Xiao talked about some national news.
After talking for a while, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen prepared to go home.
Lin Xiao still insisted on seeing his sister and brother-in-law downstairs, and Wang Lijuan also came out to see them off.
After going downstairs, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen said goodbye and left.
They walked back along the road, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
Ai Xiaoxia sighed: "My sister-in-law's family is a problem. If she continues like this, my brother's life will be difficult in the future."
Lu Jingshen said: "Indeed, but it is not appropriate for us to say anything now."
"Well, after all, my eldest brother has started a family. Some things still depend on how he handles them. Unless it's absolutely necessary, we shouldn't interfere." Ai Xiaoxia felt that this topic was a bit depressing, so she said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Shouldn't we start preparing for the New Year next week?"
"Didn't Mom say they could just go to the market and buy it? We don't have to go all the way back to buy it."
"That's different. Besides, I also want to buy New Year's goods. I think it's interesting."
"Then buy it, and do whatever you want."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lu Jingshen with a smile: "What if I want the moon?"
Lu Jingshen said: "Scientifically, it cannot be removed, but it can be replaced by other methods."
"What method?"
"It's so boring to say that. You'll know later."
"I'll forget about it if I can't prepare it later."
"When have I ever forgotten what you said?"
The snow was getting heavier, so Lu Jingshen quickly stopped a taxi and the two of them went home.
When I got home and washed up, the snow outside was even heavier, with heavy snow fluttering in the wind.
Ai Xiaoxia likes snow very much. She turned off the lights, stood in front of the window and looked outside. It was clearer this way. When the lights were on, there was reflection on the glass, which was not as good.
Lu Jingshen hugged Ai Xiaoxia from behind, dropped his chin on her shoulder, and rubbed her gently: "I used to think that husband and wife had more responsibilities to each other, but now I know that love is the most important thing between husband and wife."
Ai Xiaoxia turned around and put her arms around Lu Jingshen's neck. "Actually, I didn't really believe in love before. It's not that I don't believe in it, but I just feel that not everyone can encounter it. To be able to meet a love that runs towards each other in this life should be the greatest happiness."
Lu Jingshen kissed the tip of Ai Xiaoxia's nose: "We are both rational people, and we become more emotional when we meet love."
"Indeed, Jingshen, I really thank you very much. Thank you for your initial tolerance and for not giving up on me." Ai Xiaoxia thought about the things that happened to the original owner and really admired Lu Jingshen's patience.
Lu Jingshen smiled: "It was our first time getting married at that time, and I had no experience. In fact, I didn't do it well enough."
Ai Xiaoxia also laughed: "Why, do you want to get married a few more times? To gain more experience?"
Lu Jingshen quickly shook his head: "I don't mean that, but if my dear wants to have some fun, we can get married again tonight."
Ai Xiaoxia hammered Lu Jingshen's chest: "You guy, you are not serious when you talk."
Lu Jingshen smiled and hugged Ai Xiaoxia in his arms: "I just like teasing you. Seeing your shy little face, I really don't know how happy I am."
Ai Xiaoxia hugged Lu Jingshen's waist and rubbed her head against his arm: "I also like to see you being naughty."
"You are the only one who can see my impropriety."
"If anyone saw me, I'd have to pack up and run away."
"If anyone has to run away, shouldn't I be the one to do it? And I will never let you down in this life. If I do anything to let you down, I will be struck by lightning..."
Ai Xiaoxia didn't wait for Lu Jingshen to finish and covered his mouth with her hand: "No need to swear, I believe you."
Lu Jingshen lowered his head and kissed Ai Xiaoxia on the lips. Many of their words were conveyed between their lips and teeth without needing to be spoken out.
