Zhang Xinlan was dumbfounded. She opened her mouth and said, "Mom, this..."
"Why? No?" Wu Guixiang's eyes were cold. "It doesn't make sense for you to take the meat that Yunyun got back to her parents' home, and then they want to occupy Yunyun's bicycle and not return it, right?"
"How...how could that be?" Zhang Xinlan stammered, "No, I will definitely pay it back. Didn't I say I would pay it back in a few days?"
Wu Guixiang snorted coldly, "In a few days, in a few days, how many days have passed?"
"I'm telling you, tomorrow is the last day. You have to carry the meat back and ride the bike back to me. If the bike doesn't come back, you don't have to come back either."
Wu Guixiang said something harsh, and Zhang Xinlan's face turned pale instantly. She was unable to refute and could only nod blankly.
No one else in the family said a word. Even Su Aidang didn't speak up for his wife. She was wrong in the first place. She had to ride a bicycle back to show off, and then she couldn't get it back. It would be strange if her mother didn't get angry.
"Okay, it's so late, let's all go to bed." Wu Guixiang waved her hand tiredly. She was tired after working for such a long day.
"good."
Several people returned to the house. After returning to the house, Zhang Xinlan, who was sharing a room with Su Aidang, finally couldn't help but said, "What do you mean by 'mother'? What do you mean by 'my mother's home'? I didn't bring anything home?"
Su Aidang glanced at her and said, "Did I say anything wrong? In all these years since we got married, your family hasn't even brought an egg. It's already very good of me to let you bring back a piece of meat."
"Isn't it because my family's conditions aren't good?" Zhang Xinlan said confidently, "We have five children, so life is naturally a bit difficult."
"Difficult?" Su Aidang smiled. "You have two older sisters and one younger sister, and they've been married for who knows how many years. What's difficult about that? You good daughters, shouldn't you help out at home? Your parents only have one son to support. What's so difficult about that?"
Although he is honest, it does not mean that he cannot understand these things. His wife is often partial to her parents and wants to help them. He just turns a blind eye to some small things, but now she even dares to give a big item like a bicycle to her parents. It is absolutely impossible!
Zhang Xinlan's face paled and sank as she heard this. She gritted her teeth and said, "Aidang, I'm telling you the truth. That bicycle is now with my nephew. He just met a girl, and she thought the bicycle was his, so she started dating him. How can I possibly get it back now?"
"What?" Su Aidang, who had been lying down, jumped up. "You said your nephew took Yunyun's bicycle as if it was his and went on a blind date?"
"Yeah." Zhang Xinlan admitted it a little embarrassedly. She actually knew in her heart that it was her family that was wrong, but as an aunt, she couldn't force the child back and ignore her nephew's happiness, right?
"You didn't even tell me about such a big thing? Zhang Xinlan, are you a little too bold now? Do you know what would happen to you if your mother knew about it?" Su Aidang really didn't expect that she could be so confused.
"My younger brothers said that as long as my nephew and that girl are married, they will return the bicycle to us," Zhang Xinlan added.
"Zhang Xinlan, ah, Zhang Xinlan." Su Aidang shook his head and sighed as he looked at her with a complicated expression. "Why didn't I realize before that you are so naive?"
"……Um?"
"Then can your nephew return the things he took for the engagement? Why don't you think about it? Even if he returns the bicycle, if the girl finds out, won't she think he's cheating on her? What if she doesn't want to do it anymore? And you lent them the bicycle again?"
Although he said so, Su Aidang knew in his heart that the Zhang family had made up their minds not to return the bicycle.
"No... no way?" Zhang Xinlan didn't believe it. "My brothers and sisters are not that kind of people."
"Are you sure?" Su Aidang asked her expressionlessly.
Zhang Xinlan was stuck. She actually knew in her heart that things might very well be as Su Aidang said, but what could she do?
Her mother-in-law said that if she couldn't get the bicycle back, she didn't have to come back. Zhang Xinlan believed that her mother-in-law would definitely do such a thing.
Seeing her bewildered look, Su Aidang sighed and said, "Go to sleep first. I'll go back to your parents' home with you tomorrow and get the bike back."
"Okay." That's all I can do now.
Zhang Xinlan lay in bed, with something on her mind. She tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep well.
