Third Brother loves to act spoiled. Although you scold him, you're the closest to him. I was really jealous of them back then. But actually, I didn't do much. Second Sister-in-law did all the housework. There aren't many girls as lazy as me." Fengchun has let go of her resentment now and can speak frankly about it.
Wu Zhiqi laughed, "Now you know how good your second sister-in-law is. Back then, you didn't hold back in saying bad things about her."
"It's because you looked down on my second sister-in-law first that I dared to do this."
The mother and daughter both laughed. Wu Zhiqi used to look down on Chunni because she was from the countryside, had no job, and no food rations. On the contrary, this daughter-in-law was the most filial. Now she feels ashamed when she thinks about it.
"Did my older brother keep his house?" Feng Chun didn't lend him any money, and she didn't pay attention to it afterward.
"He couldn't keep his job and was kicked out," Wu Zhiqi heard from the third brother. The third brother had a good relationship with the leaders of Li Xingguo's workplace and knew some of the details.
“My older brother’s salary isn’t high or low, and Dong Yun can also go out and do something. If she doesn’t aim too high, she should be able to make a living. Oh, by the way, Mom, my older sister called me this morning and said she wants to treat us to dinner.” Feng Chun remembered that Feng Lan had called that morning.
Wu Zhiqi's expression immediately turned indifferent. "Go if you want. I don't care about your sisters' affairs."
Fengchun also heard that Fenglan had sued Manman and wanted to persuade her older sister, who had been very good to her in the past.
"Mom, my eldest sister is easily influenced and has a weak personality. She has no opinions of her own. I'll try to persuade her."
Wu Zhiqi didn't say anything. Everyone in her family had tried to persuade her, but could she listen?
In the evening, Fengchun and her family of three set off for the restaurant where they had arranged to meet Fenglan.
Fengchun's husband, Zhang Tao, was driving when he said, "Do you think your older sister will listen to your advice? I think we'll just be wasting our time going."
Feng Chun: "When I was little, my older sister was very good to me. Whether she listened to me or not was her business, and what I did was my business."
“Your whole family are shrewd people. Who does the eldest sister take after?” Zhang Tao said with a smile.
Fengchun looked out the car window and said, “My eldest sister was the eldest child in the family. Back then, the family was very poor and it was hard to even have enough to eat. My parents had to work, and my eldest sister had to take care of her younger siblings, do housework, and dig for wild vegetables. No one took care of her feelings. After she got married, she and her husband lived apart for many years and raised her children alone. She longed for love. My eldest sister is different from my eldest brother. She is not a bad person.”
The family of three arrived at the restaurant, which mainly served Yunnan province specialties. The restaurant was decorated with ethnic characteristics and was considered a mid-to-high-end restaurant.
Fenglan and Song Shiyu looked out from the doorway and saw Fengchun's family, so they quickly came over to greet them.
"Brother-in-law, Fengchun, I heard you're back. Your eldest sister has been thinking about you for days," Song Shiyu said with a warm smile as she shook hands with Zhang Tao.
"We've been back for two or three days, and there's been a lot going on at home. Thank you for the expense, brother-in-law," Zhang Tao said politely.
"Elder Sister" Feng Chun greeted Feng Lan and gave Song Shiyu a faint nod.
Feng Lan, nicknamed "Feng Chun," had red eyes. Her family was ignoring her now, and she didn't even know where they had moved to. She couldn't contact Manman either.
"Come in quickly, let's chat inside. It's cold outside. Fengchun is getting younger and younger," Song Shiyu said, inviting the group into the restaurant.
Song Shiyu requested a private room, and everyone sat down. Song Shiyu then began ordering, listing all the signature dishes.
Zhang Tao sipped his tea, remaining calm and composed; catching up with old friends didn't require such a grand affair.
Fenglan pulled Fengchun along, asking, "Where did our family move to?"
Feng Chun touched Feng Lan's rough hands but didn't answer her. "Big sister, where do you work? Your hands are all cracked."
