"Not yet, she's sleeping upstairs." After saying this, Sheng Yanchuan inadvertently glanced at his sister-in-law who had been looking around since she came in, and even touched her from time to time. Sheng Yanchuan felt a little unhappy, but he didn't know what to say.
But when he saw Huiping pick up the foreign language book on the table out of curiosity and wipe her saliva to turn the page, Sheng Yanchuan couldn't help it.
"Sister-in-law, don't move"
The sudden sound startled the three of them.
Hui Ping stood there in a daze, not knowing what happened to her
While Huiping was in a daze, Sheng Yanchuan quickly stepped forward and took the book away before Huiping's saliva-stained hand touched it. He piled the book up with the other books on the table and held it in his arms.
"Sorry, sister-in-law, this is Qiao Qiao's work information, let's not look through it."
Sheng Yanchuan said so, and Aunt Xiumei didn't think it was a big deal. After all, the information on Nanqiao's work was all from the steel plant and the compound, and there were indeed many things that outsiders could not see.
Sheng Yanjun frowned slightly. Huiping was his sister-in-law after all, but he had such an attitude...
Hui Ping didn't expect that Sheng Yanchuan was thinking this. She shook her hands awkwardly and said, "Ah, I don't know. I just didn't understand it so I just took a look out of curiosity."
Sheng Yanchuan successfully saved the book, and without thinking about continuing the topic, he turned around and asked
"Mom, you just said something happened, what is it?"
"Why don't we wait until Qiaoqiao wakes up and talk about it together?"
"It's okay, just tell me," Sheng Yanchuan said as he poured a glass of water for the three of them and sat down on the stools.
"It's like this. Mom thought that you would live in the town from now on. Your eldest brother's family is not doing well, and your eldest sister-in-law is pregnant. There is not even food at home, so..."
Aunt Xiumei had actually already thought of what she was going to say at home, but when she looked at Sheng Yanchuan's honest and pure eyes, she suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Mom, please keep talking. Why don't you tell me what's going on?" Sheng Yanchuan looked at Aunt Xiumei's embarrassment and persuaded her.
"Mom...Mom wants the eldest brother's family to move back home, and live the same as before. In the future, they will take care of us in our old age." Aunt Xiumei blurted out everything with her eyes closed.
Sheng Yanchuan, who had been leaning slightly towards Aunt Xiumei, now sat up straight, with the same smile on his face, but with a little less sincerity.
"Mom is in charge of all family matters. You don't have to tell me about it."
"What's your attitude?" Sheng Yanchuan took out his boss's airs and started to scold him.
"What's my attitude? Am I wrong? You guys decide the family matters. What's wrong with that?" Sheng Yanchuan's smile faded, and he stared at his eldest brother.
He didn't care whether Sheng Yanjun's family wanted to go back or not. The separation was something they had discussed, and they told him only after they had made the decision to go back, so what was wrong with what he said?
"I'm your eldest brother. Is this how you talk to your brother and mom? I think you don't plan to recognize this family anymore after you get married."
Since entering the house, Sheng Yanjun has been looking around the house without realizing it: the evergreen trees, the yard that doesn't need to grow crops, the carved furniture, the books they can't understand, the cashmere blanket thrown casually on the couch, the brand new scarf on the snowman in the yard, the radio, television, and refrigerator that every family wants to get for a wedding but can't, and the house where they can wear thin clothes even in the cold winter.
Thinking of his dark, messy and cold room, everything in front of him was extremely dazzling. Although it was not obvious on his face, the inferiority and jealousy that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time had already erupted like a volcano and could not be suppressed.
"Brother, you can say anything to me, but don't involve Nanqiao." After hearing Sheng Yanjun's words, his originally warm face suddenly became gloomy.
After all, Mr. Sheng, who single-handedly took over the black market, was not someone that Sheng Yanjun could contend with.
Under such pressure, Sheng Yanjun wanted to retreat, but thinking that he was his elder brother after all, he plucked up his courage and said with his chest puffed out, "Why, isn't it right? The reason for the separation is because of Nanqiao. Now we want to come back. Mom asked us to come and tell you in person, but you actually said that there is no need to tell you."
Seeing that Sheng Yanchuan did not refute, Sheng Yanjun became more confident, "Right now your sister-in-law is still pregnant, and there is no food at home. Look at the living environment in your town. Are you really planning to marry this rich wife, spend her money to live a carefree life, and not care about the life and death of your family? If so, you might as well just marry into the family."
"you!"
"Chuanzi, please talk nicely, don't do it." Aunt Xiumei didn't stop Sheng Yanjun from talking, but now she saw Sheng Yanchuan was about to do it, so she quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Yanchuan!" Nanqiao's soft and gentle voice came, like a spring breeze that instantly blew away the anger in Sheng Yanchuan's heart.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Sheng Yanchuan's coldness disappeared from his face, and he asked with some concern.
"I can't sleep. I want to drink honey water." Nanqiao squeezed Sheng Yanchuan's hand and let him put on his coat.
While Sheng Yanchuan was pouring honey water for her, Nanqiao called Aunt Xiumei "Mom" indifferently, and then sat down on the only soft couch with a thick cushion in the main room, without saying a word, just sitting there quietly.
Aunt Xiumei hesitated, but she didn't know what to say. She really liked Nanqiao before, but after she knew Nanqiao's family background, she was a little afraid of her daughter-in-law.
Nanqiao didn't care what the three of them were thinking. She just sat there until Sheng Yanchuan came back. Nanqiao took a sip of the honey water and naturally didn't miss Huiping staring at her honey water, almost drooling.
