When Bu Ling got home, it was already past eight o'clock.
She turned into the alley and saw Sangshen and her aunt dressed as if they were going out, and even Xie Dong was there. Curious, she asked:
"Aunt, Sangshen, where are you going? What happened?"
The three looked up and their expressions brightened when they saw Bu Ling. Sang Shen was the first to react: "Ling Ling, you're back?"
The tone was one of overwhelming surprise.
In a flash, Bu Ling suddenly remembered something: "Ah, yes, I had something to do today and came back late. I forgot to tell my aunt."
Upon hearing this, the aunt immediately replied, "It's alright, it's alright, it's good that you're back safe and sound."
Xie Dong echoed, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Bling: ...
Feeling guilty!
Sangshen raised an eyebrow at Buling to help her out: "Lingling's back, can we eat now? I'm so hungry!"
His aunt glared at him: "Eat, eat, eat! All you ever think about is eating!"
Xie Dong added fuel to the fire, saying, "Xiao Qi is still so heartless!"
He accepted all offers of mulberries and lay down to be mocked, but he only gave Bling a meaningful look.
Bling gave him a barely perceptible nod.
Sang Shen was even more satisfied.
"Auntie, let's go back inside, there are so many mosquitoes outside."
Seeing his shamelessness, his aunt gave in and said, "Let's go home."
Then he turned to Xie Dong and his wife and said, "Dongzi, Xiao Jiang, you two come to my house for a meal too."
The two of them were used to eating next door. "Okay, I still have some green beans and cucumbers that my family sent over. I'll go get them."
“Okay.” Auntie didn’t stand on ceremony.
Except for living in separate houses, the two families are now like one family.
Neither family member is petty or argumentative, and they get along very well.
While Bu Ling, Sang Shen, and Xie Dong were at work, Jiang Wanying seemed to live at Sang Shen's house, either helping her aunt with needlework or taking care of Xiao Xingxing.
This led to Xiaoxing looking at Jiang Wanying more affectionately than at her biological mother, Buling.
However, Comrade Buling himself said that these were all minor matters.
Whoever she's closer to, they're all her own daughter.
Moreover, as Little Star grew older, his personality gradually took shape; he was a clever little devil, quite a handful.
Bling admitted that she didn't have the patience to deal with her increasingly lively eldest daughter, so it was fine for her to be close to others.
Jealousy? Not a chance!
After dinner and putting her eldest daughter to sleep, Buling began her debt-paying journey...
I won't go into the details of how it was repaid.
Anyway, Bling was drowsy during breakfast.
Seeing Bu Ling's state, the aunt's eyes flashed with a sharp glare as she looked at the mulberry.
Mulberry felt comfortable from head to toe, and even being repeatedly pierced by sharp eyes didn't bother her.
After dinner, he started showing his sweet side: "Lingling, shall I take you to work later?"
Buling, still half asleep, took a bite of sweet potato: "Hmm! Huh? Aren't you supposed to start work at eight?"
“Yes,” Mulberry nodded matter-of-factly, “Is that not allowed?”
Bling: ...
You win!
Sang Shen praised, "It's settled then."
The aunt, who was very principled, focused intently on feeding Little Star egg custard throughout the ordeal, pretending to be completely deaf.
She shouldn't interfere in the romance between the young couple.
I just arrived at the restaurant.
He had arranged to pick up Sangshen that evening, but before he could finish speaking, Wu Yuanyuan pulled him into the house: "You can go now, just remember to pick me up tonight."
Sang Shen gave a dashing salute, hopped on his bicycle, and rode off, looking every bit like a campus heartthrob.
"Ling, I have something to tell you..."
"Stop, let me get a glass of water first." Bu Ling stopped Wu Yuanyuan, because she could foresee that what followed would be a lot of talking.
Wu Yuanyuan: "Okay." (Looking aggrieved) "Pour me a glass too."
Bling rolled her eyes at her, but still poured her a glass of water. The two of them, each with a glass of water, sat behind the counter and began their gossip session for the day.
"Ling, did you know that my in-laws had a fight last night?"
"How would I know such a question?" Bu Ling was speechless. Did she eavesdrop on the old couple's gossip?
Wu Yuanyuan awkwardly changed her tune: "Tiehe said that the two of them haven't argued since they left their hometown. My father-in-law has always given in to my mother-in-law, but this time, they actually argued. Do you think it might lead to..."
At this point, she gave Buling a look.
"Didn't you hear that? Why are you asking me?"
"I heard the two of them bringing up old grievances, while the two in front of them kept their voices down," Wu Yuanyuan explained.
Bu Ling found it difficult to comment: "Is it really okay for you to be so enthusiastic about discussing your in-laws' arguments?"
“We’re talking right now, I’m not going to yell it out in the street,” Wu Yuanyuan said matter-of-factly. “I believe you.”
Bling: ...
She felt a lot of pressure being envied by so many people!
"Don't change the subject. Do you think it's possible, like what I just asked?" Wu Yuanyuan brought up the old question again.
Bling honestly shook his head: "I don't know."
She doesn't know the three of them very well, so how can she guess?
Wu Yuanyuan was momentarily dejected, but quickly cheered herself up. "Should I go and check on my mother-in-law?"
"I suggest against it," Bling said decisively.
Wu Yuanyuan slumped down.
That concludes today's gossip.
A moment later, Zhu Zhizhi came in with a bitter face. When she saw Wu Yuanyuan chatting and laughing behind the counter, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. Then she silently sat down at a table in the far corner of the outer room.
