Sang Shen was overjoyed to receive his brother-in-law's invitation. Meanwhile, on the second day of the National Day holiday, he began preparing gifts for his Mid-Autumn Festival visit.
He accepted everything offered, from food and daily necessities to rare and specially supplied items, making sure his brother-in-law saw his sincerity and demonstrated his strength so that the other party could entrust his sister to him with more confidence.
As soon as Sangshen made her move, news of her dating Buling spread like wildfire, and the neighbors in the courtyard were the first to find out.
Honestly, no one was surprised at all. It's mainly because Sangshen's behavior is usually very obvious; she doesn't hide her territory at all. Now that the two are together, most people are just joking and offering their blessings.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as Aunt Shen. Ever since Jiang Hua went to the countryside, Aunt Shen has completely let herself go. She no longer takes care of her grandson and spends her days making trouble for Bu Ling. Just like this time, when she heard that Bu Ling and Sang Shen were dating, she was so angry that her face twisted.
Here we go again, causing trouble: "You vixen, all you do is seduce men!"
As they passed each other, Bu Ling glanced at her, then turned to Wu Yuanyuan and asked in an exaggerated tone, "Sister Yuanyuan, have you heard?"
Wu Yuanyuan was completely bewildered: "What?"
"Sister Jiang Hua, she got married!" Bu Ling exclaimed in an incredibly exaggerated way.
"What?!" Wu Yuanyuan was utterly astonished.
"Xiao Bu, are you telling the truth?" Aunt Liu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looking at Bu Ling with shining eyes.
Aunt Shen turned around abruptly: "You little slut, don't talk nonsense!"
Bu Ling said in a comforting tone, "Aunt Shen, I know you're sad, but life has to go on, right? Even if Sister Jiang Hua marries a fool, he'll be the village chief's fool, a fool with status. That way, Sister Jiang Hua won't have to suffer, and you can rest assured."
Aunt Shen blurted out, "How did you know?" Before she could finish speaking, she regretted it, but it was too late. It was right around the time people were leaving get off work, and Aunt Shen had run into Bu Ling at the alley entrance. With people coming and going, she heard everything clearly.
Bu Ling smiled without answering: "That's a secret~" After saying that, she even gave Aunt Shen a flirty wink.
Aunt Shen was furious, but before she could do anything, Widow Liu beat her to it: "Xiao Bu, come here and tell your sister-in-law the details, and your sister-in-law will make you some sugar water."
Bu Ling pursed her lips and smiled shyly: "Okay, sister-in-law!"
The two walked hand in hand towards the courtyard. Wu Yuanyuan immediately pushed her bicycle to follow, she wanted to hear too!
“Sister Liu, let me tell you something. One of my good classmates from Sangshen was sent to the countryside. He wrote to warn Sangshen that women are tigers, which led to this incident. When I heard the name of this tiger woman, I realized it was Sister Jiang Hua.”
This was indeed what Sangzhen told her, but not from Sangzhen's classmate, but from Sangzhen's brother's classmate. After all, Buling had already vented her anger, and didn't intend to use this to hurt Aunt Shen.
Unfortunately, Aunt Shen has been acting too aggressively lately, and she's danced right in front of her more than once.
Since this old lady disgusts her, she can't just swallow her anger, can she?
Sure enough, the news of Jiang Hua marrying a fool in the countryside spread throughout the alley in just one night, and was rapidly spreading outwards. In this era of scarce entertainment, as long as there was a little bit of gossip, everyone would savor it over and over again until they got tired of it.
Aunt Shen was furious and tried to explain everywhere, but no one paid any attention to her. The main reason was that she was not popular, especially after Jiang Hua went to the countryside. She seemed to be possessed by him and offended all the neighbors around her.
Aunt Shen has been so focused on clearing Jiang Hua's name lately that she hasn't had the energy to cause trouble for Bu Ling, which is exactly what Bu Ling wanted.
The days passed uneventfully, and soon it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Early in the morning, Buling was woken up by Sangshen. She sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) with a blank expression, watching Sangshen move around the room as if she had taken some kind of stimulant.
"Does it have to be this early?" Bling asked listlessly.
Sangshen replied matter-of-factly, "Of course! It's polite to arrive early." After saying that, seeing Buling's resentful expression, he paused, as if he had figured something out, and then pounced on her for a kiss.
Bling: ....
Like a scumbag, after dealing with Bu Ling, Sang Shen continued his work: "Hey? Ling Ling, do you want to take the Mid-Autumn Festival perk the restaurant gave out?"
"Bring them, bring them, bring them!" Bling nodded in despair. "And bring those apples too."
This year, their restaurant's Mid-Autumn Festival benefits are far ahead of other companies. For example, a regular employee like Buling gets eight mooncakes, six apples, and five kilograms of cornmeal each. It can't compare to the benefits during the Spring Festival, but compared to other companies, it's definitely the best.
After Sangshen finished tidying up, he saw that Buling was still leaning on the kang looking drowsy. He sighed helplessly and served her by washing her face and brushing her teeth, and then feeding her, treating her like an ancestor. Sangshen never thought that he could be so willing to serve people.
An hour later, the two boarded a bus that passed by the military family compound.
The two set off early in the morning and arrived at the family compound early. Because it was a holiday, the compound was filled with a joyful festive atmosphere.
It was Sangshen's first time entering the family compound. Buling helped him register, and the two entered the compound. On the way, Buling met a neighbor from the same building. When they saw Sangshen next to her, they were all eager to try it out.
In the end, the old lady who had saved a seat for Bling earlier stepped forward and asked, "Little Bling, what's going on?"
“Auntie, this is my boyfriend. I brought him back to meet my brother and celebrate the holiday together.” Bu Ling said frankly.
Sangshen immediately smiled like a flower: "Hello, ma'am, my name is Sangshen, and I'm Buling's boyfriend." She straightened her back, and her voice was extremely loud, as if she wanted to announce it to the whole world.
