Chapter 111 Second sister, what kind of person is my brother-in-law?
"Little Swallow, wearing flowery clothes, comes here every spring..."
Humming a cheerful nursery rhyme, Li Yufei opened the door of her house with her key.
She looked towards the living room and saw her father Shen Yunliang and mother Li Xueling watching TV, while her brother Shen Yulin and sister-in-law Ma Xiaoli were accompanying them in the living room.
Seeing Li Yufei coming in, Shen Yulin winked at her, as if to remind her that she was in trouble and should just take care of herself.
Sure enough, Li Xueling, who was drinking water from a cup, said coldly: "Why did you come back just now? What were you doing?"
"Mom, I... Liang Xiaolu and I went to meet someone and chatted, so I accidentally got home a little late."
Li Xueling snorted and said, "Look at what time it is. You're about to go to college, and you're still so worried about me!"
"Look at your sister. She'll be back soon after work."
At this point, Li Xueling seemed to feel that she had missed the point and continued, "Who did you meet?"
"Male or female?"
Li Yufei's mouth pouted suddenly, and her chubby face looked even cuter at this moment.
"Mom, it's just a friend."
Her dissatisfaction not only failed to make Li Xueling give in, but made Li Xueling's face even gloomier.
Shen Yulin quickly winked at his sister, telling her that she should be lenient if she confessed, and she should not seek death! "Shen Yulin, what's wrong with your eyes?" Li Xueling also noticed her son's abnormality and asked in a cold voice.
Shen Yulin hurriedly said, "Oh, Mom, my... there's a small fly in my eye."
"Little flying insects? There are no little flying insects in this cold winter!"
"Stop talking nonsense here!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll teach you a lesson too."
After being taught a harsh lesson, Shen Yulin immediately became obedient and made a mischievous face at his sister.
Shen Yunliang just stared at the TV without blinking, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"It's a man." Li Yufei said truthfully, as if she was angry: "We even went to his house. What's wrong?"
Hearing this, the teacup in Shen Yunliang's hand almost fell to the ground, and Li Xueling stood up suddenly.
She glared at Li Yufei and said, "Li Yufei, are you crazy?"
"Tell me quickly, what's his name? Otherwise, I won't be polite!"
"You don't have to tell me. Then I'll go ask Liang Xiaolu to find out who this person is!"
Looking at her angry mother, Li Yufei could only say, "We went to find Xu Lingyun. We finally met him this time and chatted for a while at his house."
"I didn't tell a lie, that's all."
Go meet Xu Lingyun! Shen Yulin immediately became interested and asked curiously: "Yufei, what kind of person is this Xu Lingyun?"
"How old are you?"
"Is he thirty or forty years old, as he wrote in his book?"
Shen Yunliang's expression became even more serious. He did not forbid his daughter from making friends, but if the person she was dating was a man in his thirties or forties, he would definitely not agree to that.
After all, this is his daughter whom he takes good care of, and he hopes that she will have a happy life.
Instead of spending her whole life with someone who is much older than her daughter.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Xu Lingyun is not even older than you!"
"Besides, I just got admitted to Yanjing University and am preparing to go to school."
Xu Lingyun is not older than Shen Yulin, which means he is in his twenties and has just been admitted to Yenching University, so he has a bright future.
Shen Yunliang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when he thought of Yenching University, he couldn't help but think of another son-in-law.
This son-in-law was also admitted to Yenching University.
Could it be that our family is destined to be with Yanjing University? While Shen Yunliang was silent, Li Xueling snorted and said, "Does being admitted to university make you a good person?"
"Li Yufei, I've always warned you not to judge people by their appearance."
"Also, what did you talk about?"
Li Yufei was very annoyed by her mother's aggressiveness. Can you understand everything about the things between young people?
Not wanting to endure it any longer, she chose to fight back.
"Mom, what we talked about was originally our own business."
"But today, I'm telling you."
"Xiao Lu and I talked to him about The Pursuit of Happyness first, and he also introduced Yuan Zhen to us."
At this point, Li Yufei deliberately raised her head and said, "He told us that Yuan Zhen, who wrote "Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; except for the Wushan Mountains, all other clouds are but mounds," may seem affectionate, but he is actually an emotional liar."
"He wrote poems to mourn his deceased wife while having an affair with someone else. He is a typical double-faced person."
"He used this as an example and told me and Liang Xiaolu."
“To like a work, you don’t have to like its author.”
“Just like you don’t have to like the chef who cooks fish just because you like to eat fish.”
Hearing this, Shen Yunliang nodded slightly.
These were actually the words he was going to tell his daughter.
However, his daughter's obsession with Xu Lingyun was so great that he was choked back every time he spoke.
Now, Xu Lingyun said this himself.
Judging from her daughter’s expression, she had kept it in mind.
After all, these words were said by her idol.
After a moment of silence, Shen Yunliang said in a deep voice: "Xu Lingyun is right. We don't really need to like the author if we like his work."
"Because there are indeed many people in this world who are two-faced."
"You, too, should keep this in mind."
"Also, do you understand what I'm telling you?"
Li Yufei shook her head and said, "Could it be that he said this to give us some hints?"
"I'm telling you clearly, don't bother me if you have nothing to do." Shen Yunliang laughed and said, "I compare myself to a chef. If you like the fish I cook, then just eat it happily. There's no need to go and see the chef."
Hearing this, Li Yufei felt unhappy.
But looking at her father's smile, she felt that what he said seemed to be right.
For a moment, I was speechless.
"This Xu Lingyun really doesn't know his place. My sister went to talk to him in person, but he still acted like this."
Shen Yulin said fiercely: "If I have the chance to see him again, I will definitely say that he is blind."
Li Yufei no longer had the heart to continue talking, so she snorted and said, "Mom, I have something else to do. I'll go back to the house first."
As she spoke, Li Yufei pushed the door and walked into the room she shared with her sister.
Shen Yumo is reading the manuscript.
Although it is not working time, she takes the unfinished work home. In her words, it is like reading novels for free.
"Sister, do you have any good works?" Li Yufei came to Shen Yumo and asked with a smile.
Shen Yumo shook his head and said, "It's not that easy to find good works!"
“Let me tell you, discovering good works among new writers is like panning for gold in the sand for the old colleagues in the editorial department.”
"It's normal not to find one, but if you find one occasionally, it's definitely a pleasant surprise."
At this point, she pointed to the manuscript in her hand and said, "This short story is inspired by "Homeroom Teacher" in terms of style, but it is far from the original."
"Sister, are you going to finish reading all these manuscripts?" Li Yufei asked in a deep voice, pointing at the thick stack of manuscripts in front of her.
Shen Yumo smiled and said, "After the Chinese New Year, I just took over the registration of letters from new authors and the preliminary review of manuscripts. How can I not put some thought into it?"
"Okay, go to bed early if you have nothing to do."
Li Yufei looked at her sister's serious expression and suddenly an idea popped up in her mind, which was to discuss with her sister what Cheng Xuyuan had said to her.
"Sister, someone told me today that if you like a work, you don't necessarily have to like its author."
“Just like you don’t have to like the chef who cooks fish if you like to eat it.”
"Do you think he's right?"
Hearing this question, Shen Yumo nodded and said, "I think it makes a lot of sense."
“Just because a person’s work is good doesn’t mean that person is good.”
"It seems that the person who told you this is very good."
Li Yufei nodded and said nothing more.
She sat down on the edge of her bed and suddenly said, "Sister, let me ask you a question. Can you not be angry?"
Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment, then said, "You ask?"
"What kind of person is that person?"
Li Yufei was quite nervous when she asked this question.
She had heard a lot about this issue from her family, but she had never dared to ask Shen Yumo.
When she met Cheng Xuyuan this time, she asked this question for some unknown reason.
Shen Yumo was stunned for a moment, then said: "He is a good man."
"It helped me when I needed it most, and it didn't cause too much trouble."
At this point, Shen Yumo sighed and said, "Generally speaking, between the two of us, I should be a little sorry for him."
Seeing her sister speak so seriously, Li Yufei wanted to ask, but did not dare to.
Shen Yumo smiled and said, "Okay, it's all over. I'll introduce you to each other when we meet next time."
As he spoke, Shen Yumo turned his gaze to the manuscript in his hand.
Seeing that her sister was unwilling to say anything, Li Yufei did not dare to say anything more. She took off her cotton jacket, picked up the "Yanjing Literature and Art" on the bedside table and started reading.
Although she has watched it several times, her eyes are still on "The Pursuit of Happyness".
Xu Lingyun, what is the difference between him and the one in the book?
The next morning, Shen Yumo arrived at the office on time. Just as she was about to clean up, she saw Zhang Dening walked in with disheveled hair and a dirty face.
Those usually bright eyes were now bloodshot.
Seeing this, she hurriedly asked: "De Ning, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Dening said: "I read novels and didn't sleep all night."
As she spoke, she slumped down in her chair and said, "When I finished watching it last night, it was already past twelve o'clock."
"I couldn't help it and read it again from the beginning."
I read it once and then read it again.
What a good work it must be to make Zhang Dening stay up all night.
Thinking of Zhang Dening's work yesterday afternoon, Shen Yumo suddenly had an idea.
She asked with a hint of speculation: "Xu Lingyun's work?"
Zhang Dening nodded and said, "This bastard actually wanted to betray us and switch to another magazine. Only after I gave him a good lesson did he honestly give me his work."
"You don't know, he even blackmailed me for a meal because of this!"
"But after reading this "Desire", I think this meal is still very worthwhile."
At this point, she picked up a thick stack of manuscripts and said, "I'll go find Teacher Zhou and show it to you later."
As he spoke, he left in a hurry.
Today's first update, please support me.
