Qin Boyan rode his bicycle with Qin Yaxin to the gate of the courtyard. The siblings saw Chen Dongze pushing his bicycle out of their yard. They looked at each other, and then Qin Yaxin asked Chen Dongze a question in an annoyed tone.
However, Chen Dongze did not answer. He steadied the handlebars, straddled the seat, and the next moment, he pedaled hard, riding several meters away in front of Qin Boyan and his sister.
"That person is so rude!"
Qin Yaxin rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath.
"Go in."
Qin Boyan didn't offer any opinion. He said this as he pushed his bicycle into the courtyard.
However, he developed a strong sense of wariness towards Chen Dongze and felt it necessary to remind his brother again—be careful that his sister-in-law's ex-boyfriend doesn't steal his girlfriend away!
"Big brother is gone?"
Upon hearing Song Lan's footsteps enter the living room, Qin Yanzheng immediately asked a question.
"They're gone."
Song Lan responded.
“...You should keep your elder brother here.”
Qin Yanzheng hesitated for a moment, his lips twitching slightly, before he uttered a sentence. Upon hearing this, Song Lan said, "I saw that my elder brother had no intention of staying, so I simply didn't say anything more."
Qin Yanzheng pursed his lips and remained silent.
Seeing this, Song Lan said again, "Qin Yanzheng, you should know why my brother left suddenly, and I know it too. After all, my future sister-in-law said those things to you and me. If I were my brother, I would also choose to leave quickly with my fiancée."
"I don't care."
Hearing Qin Yanzheng say this, Song Lan understood what he meant. She said, "You may not care, but I do, and my older brother does! My older brother's fiancée is named Han Bailan. She lives in town. Today, my older brother came to our house. If I'm not mistaken, he brought his fiancée to apologize to me."
If that Comrade Han hadn't been so rude to you, I certainly wouldn't have stopped her in the yard and prevented her from sitting in the living room. Qin Yanzheng, since we are husband and wife, as her wife, I absolutely will not allow anyone to offend you!
Undoubtedly, Qin Yanzheng was deeply moved, but he asked aloud, "Apologize to you? Did my brother's fiancée bully you?"
Song Lan: "They were just saying some unpleasant things, you don't need to take it to heart."
"If I had known earlier, she wouldn't have been allowed to even enter our yard!"
Qin Yanzheng's face was cold and his eyebrows were almost knitted together. He said, "Although I haven't said much to my elder brother, I can tell that he is a good person. With his character, that woman is not good enough for him at all."
“I think so too, but the two are already engaged and the wedding is at the end of this year.”
With her around, it would be best if Han Bailan stopped causing trouble for her older brother. With her eyelids lowered, a dark glint flashed in Song Lan's eyes. As long as she could find evidence that Han Bailan was with another man, her family could smoothly cancel the marriage with the Han family!
"Sister-in-law, I'm back!"
Qin Boyan's voice drifted from the courtyard into the living room.
"Okay, sister-in-law will go make the noodles right away."
Turning around, Song Lan walked out of the living room and looked at Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin: "Wash your hands and bring the food from the kitchen later."
"good."
Qin Boyan and the other man responded in unison.
"Where are Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu?"
This is Qin Yaxin's voice.
Song Lan laughed and said, "I'm reading comic books in my room!"
Qin Yaxin: "Is it still that 'Chicken Feather Letter'?"
"It's that one."
Song Lan nodded and went into the kitchen.
"I know they've watched it at least three times."
Qin Yaxin muttered to herself.
Qin Boyan washed his face at the tap, glanced at Qin Yaxin, and said, "If you think it looks good and want to look at it more, that's not illegal."
Qin Yaxin rolled her eyes at Qin Boyan and said, "Did I say it was illegal? I just thought they were being silly."
"It's their business if they're bored, why are you so concerned?"
"Second brother, are you arguing with me for the sake of arguing!"
"I was just saying that casually, echoing what you said."
"Hmph! You weren't just saying that casually, you're clearly arguing with me, how annoying!"
After washing her hands, Qin Yaxin glared at Qin Boyan and strode towards the kitchen.
"How annoying!"
Mimicking Qin Yaxin's tone, Qin Boyan said something to her back, which angered Qin Yaxin. She stood at the kitchen door, pointed at Qin Boyan, and said to Song Lan, "Sister-in-law, look at my second brother. He's shamelessly mimicking my way of speaking."
"If he doesn't think it diminishes his masculinity, then let him learn it. It won't affect you anyway."
Song Lan smiled and comforted her.
Qin Boyan was speechless for a moment after hearing what Song Lan said. After a while, he composed himself, walked to the kitchen door, and asked Song Lan, "Sister-in-law, what is that person doing at our house?"
Which one are you referring to?
Song Lan put the noodles into the pot. Hearing this, she looked up at the other person and heard Qin Boyan say, "My second sister and I ran into Comrade Chen at the gate of our courtyard."
"You mean him? He's fine."
The noodles were rolled out quite thin and were cooked in no time. Song Lan deliberately changed the subject: "Take the meat sauce over first, then come back for the bowls and chopsticks." She was saying this to Qin Boyan.
"Sister-in-law..."
Qin Boyan sensed that Song Lan didn't want to talk about Chen Dongze, but he was really anxious and wanted to know what his sister-in-law's ex-boyfriend was doing at their house today.
"Stop dawdling and get to work quickly!"
Song Lan urged.
Qin Boyan said "Oh," picked up the half-sized enamel basin containing the meat sauce from the cutting board, and left the kitchen.
"I'll go wash my hands and then get the bowls and chopsticks."
Seeing that there was no need to light the fire anymore, Qin Yaxin got up from the small stool in front of the stove and ran to the water tap.
After Qin Boyan returned to the kitchen and took the basin away, Qin Yaxin stood there holding chopsticks and a stack of bowls, not moving for a long time.
"Standing still, is something wrong?"
Song Lan's brow twitched almost imperceptibly.
Qin Yaxin asked, "Sister-in-law, that Comrade Chen came to see you, right?"
Can I say that you're asking a question you already know the answer to?
With a smile playing on her lips, Song Lan's gaze held a deeper meaning: "Speak your mind."
"Sister-in-law, that Comrade Chen isn't as good-looking, as tall, or as capable as my brother. He's just an educated youth now, so don't be fooled by him!"
With that last sentence, Qin Yaxin turned around and disappeared in a flash, as if her feet were greased.
Song Lan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and shook her head.
They all seem to have a lot on their minds!
"Brother, you know we have guests coming to our house today, right?"
Qin Boyan scooped out the noodles for Qin Yanzheng, poured on the dry-mixed meat sauce, stirred it with chopsticks, and handed the bowl to Qin Yanzheng. After watching his older brother hold the bowl steadily, he handed the chopsticks to the other's other hand and then casually asked a question.
"Um."
Qin Yanzheng nodded slightly.
"Who is he? Does Big Brother know?"
Qin Boyan asked again.
Qin Yanzheng didn't think much of it and replied directly: "Your sister-in-law's older brother and his fiancée."
Upon hearing this, Qin Boyan suddenly raised his voice: "Brother Song came to our house? He even brought that annoying woman with him?"
"Speak properly!"
