Chapter 23

　As they talked, they arrived at a mobile phone store. Yao Le’er blushed and took out her phone, a very old and worn-out HTC model with a cracked screen.

　　The phone repairman glanced at it and said with a laugh, “Young lady, this model of yours has been around for almost ten years. It’s a miracle it still works. If it’s broken, just get a new one. There’s no need to repair it.”

　　Yao Le’er said a little guiltily, “It can still be used after some repairs!”

　　The mechanic shook his head and said, “It’s hard to even find parts for this model now. I’m telling you, you should probably get a different one.”

　　Yao Le’er took back her phone, gritted her teeth, and lowered her head somewhat embarrassed. Xu Bin said, “Le’er, you paid money just to fix this phone?”

　　”Yes, otherwise it wouldn’t work.”

　　Yao Le’er said helplessly, “I put it under my pillow, but I ended up breaking the screen while I was sleeping.”

　　She was still in school and her family was very strict, not allowing her to use a mobile phone. So, when she got into high school, her mother-in-law gave her this old phone that her older sister Yao Xin had bought before. After flashing the ROM, it worked.

　　This phone is practically useless for playing games, but Yao Le’er treasures it. Xu Bin doesn’t know whether to say she’s too easily satisfied or to complain about his mother-in-law’s stinginess, rewarding such a top student with such a broken phone.

　　”Let’s get a different one; these kinds of parts are really hard to find these days.”

　　Xu Bin couldn’t help but say something as well.

　　”Mom definitely won’t agree!”

　　Yao Le’er lowered her head and said with a wronged expression, “My eldest and second eldest sisters are the same. They say they get distracted and stuff, but all the other classmates do too.”

　　Xu Bin really didn’t want to say anything about his mother-in-law Shen Ruyu’s character. Yao Le’er was telling the truth; she was already in high school, how could she be so strict?

　　In this day and age, how can someone be so controlling? To put it bluntly, other people raise their daughters well, but she has three and doesn’t want to raise them well anymore. It must be very embarrassing for someone her age to have such a crappy phone.

　　”When this phone came out, your second sister probably hadn’t even had her period yet.”

　　Xu Bin couldn’t help but make a joke.

　　Yao Le’er blushed at this, but replied, “I remember I was still in elementary school back then.”

　　With that, coupled with her petite and youthful appearance, she definitely has the looks to arouse any lustful desires.

　　Such a beautiful little girl with a youthful face and huge breasts, looking so pitiful in front of you, is enough to break your heart at first glance.

　　She’s going through a rebellious phase now. Xu Bin’s impression of her is that she always argues with her mother or sisters when she goes home on weekends. As the bottom of the food chain, even Yao Nan, with her personality, likes to lecture her, which is quite pitiful.

　　Honestly, Shen Ruyu, the mother-in-law, went too far. She spoiled her eldest daughter a bit too much, giving Yao Le’er this broken cell phone, which is not even worth giving to a beggar. Most people would have turned against her long ago.

　　Xu Bin checked the time and said, “Le’er, we don’t have much time at noon. How about this, your brother-in-law will take you to eat first, and then I’ll go to the electronics market this afternoon. Anyway, you’ll be on holiday in a couple of days, so you can get it when you get home.”

　　”Brother-in-law, here’s the money!”

　　Upon hearing this, Yao Le’er immediately handed over the small red envelope in her hand.

　　This sister-in-law is very sensible and well-behaved, which makes her quite likable. However, she held the red envelope tightly with her little hand, clearly a little reluctant to part with it.

　　Xu Bin pushed the small red envelope back and said with a smile, “You can keep it as pocket money. Your brother-in-law still has this little bit of money.”

　　”Thank you, brother-in-law!”

　　Yao Le’er immediately put away the small red envelope, and her sweet smile was so overpowering that Xu Bin almost lost his temper.

　　The little girl loves KFC and McDonald’s, so I took her to eat at a nearby restaurant and then sent her back to school. Actually, it was a bit awkward for the two of them to be together.

　　After all, they weren’t very familiar with each other, and it would be especially uncomfortable to make small talk. But Xu Bin enjoyed the envious and jealous looks that others gave him, since he was with such a gorgeous little girl.

　　After asking around the electronics market, everyone shook their heads when they saw the broken phone. Luckily, a repairman asked around and said, “I actually found some dusty parts that can be replaced.”

　　This crappy phone probably wouldn’t even sell for 30, and it cost 300 to repair. Isn’t that just being ripped off?

　　After finishing the repair, Xu Bin thought for a moment and then slapped his forehead. “Damn it, is this blockhead full of shit? I just said I’d fix it and actually did it. When did I become so clueless?”

　　The aggrieved look in my sister-in-law’s eyes when she talked about this crappy phone, and the envious look on her face when she talked about her other classmates, wasn’t this a perfect opportunity to get closer to her?

　　The questline will start sooner or later, so I should prepare early. My daughter should be raised in luxury to prevent her from being swindled out of her money. If my mother-in-law doesn’t raise such a beautiful daughter well, then I, as her brother-in-law, have no choice but to take responsibility.

　　She used her secretly saved living expenses to repair the phone, simply because she was afraid of being scolded by her mother-in-law if she told her. It would be so much better for her to play the role of a caring older brother.

　　By the way, what about his mother-in-law… Xu Bin remembered something. If his mother-in-law wakes up and remembers the conversation from last night, will it affect his feelings towards her?

　　Inside the teahouse’s private room, the clatter of mahjong tiles filled the air. Xu Bin suddenly pushed open the door, and Shen Ruyu, with her back to him, didn’t see him. He grumbled, “It takes so long to add water. With so much money to make every day, why don’t you hire more people?”

　　”mom!”

　　Xu Bin called out, and Shen Ruyu shuddered, dropping the cards she had just picked up onto the table.

　　She hurriedly arranged the cards, then turned around and looked at her son-in-law with a slightly guilty expression, saying, “Why did you suddenly come?”

　　The young woman, Yanzi, said sarcastically, “You come quite often, don’t you? Even your own son wouldn’t do this. You’re really lucky.”

　　Xu Bin greeted everyone with a smile, then put down the gift bag and said softly, “Mom, you said that table was too heavy, and your hands would get sore from wearing it while playing cards. I went and bought a lighter one for you to try.”

　　Upon seeing that the bag was from the same brand, the other three card players’ expressions turned sour, knowing that Shen Ruyu’s character would inevitably lead to another round of boasting.

　　Xu Bin left immediately after putting down the bag, relieved to see that his mother-in-law’s favorability rating remained stable at 50%.

　　When Xu Bin got home, he found it a bit funny. His mother-in-law, who never usually closed the doors to the master bedroom, was now locked. Was she afraid he would go in to find the dead vibrator and change its batteries?

　　Upon thinking about this, Xu Bin couldn’t help but chuckle lewdly, and he also began to ponder how exactly the questline would be triggered.

　　When Xu Bin returned to his sister-in-law Yao Le’er’s bedroom, he took out her snow-white underwear, but there was no reaction. Xu Bin didn’t have a fetish, but he still licked it several times in a perverted way, and there was still no reaction.

　　Undeterred, Xu Bin went to his sister-in-law’s room. Yao Xin rarely stayed there, but there were clean clothes available. He thought of his tall, mature sister-in-law’s long, straight, beautiful legs encased in black stockings.

　　Find her underwear that she hadn’t worn in a long time. It was lace with cutouts that made people’s imaginations run wild, but she remained silent even after licking her lips until they were dry.

　　”What went wrong?”

　　Lying on the bed in disappointment, Xu Bin was completely baffled as to why his mother-in-law’s underwear would open as soon as he picked it up, while his sister-in-law’s and sister-in-law’s wouldn’t.

　　I was bored when I saw my sister-in-law’s repaired phone. I wanted to hide it so that no one else would see it, since my sister-in-law was afraid of being scolded and had secretly asked me to fix it.

　　However, once Xu Bin picked up the phone, he couldn’t resist opening it and looking at it.

　　The call logs are normal. It’s ridiculous that this crappy phone can’t even install WeChat with its pitiful amount of memory. It’s pathetic that Yao Le’er usually just uses a browser to read the news.

　　Looking at the search history, which was also clean, Xu Bin became more and more unwilling. Everyone has their own privacy, and it’s impossible for his sister-in-law not to have one.

　　Thinking of this, Xu Bin opened the text message and scrolled through it. The first few messages were all normal business information, but he immediately found something that excited him.

　　There was a girl named Miaomiao who seemed to be a classmate. They often chatted about which male celebrities they disliked because they were handsome, and they even watched porn together.

　　Xu Bin frowned as he read the next message; it was from his brother-in-law, Zhang Xinda.

　　”I’m sorry, Le’er, brother-in-law didn’t mean it.”

　　“I was a little drunk at your house that day. I went to the bathroom and mistook you and your sister for each other, that’s why I spanked you. Your brother-in-law really didn’t have any ulterior motives.”

　　Xu Bin couldn’t help but curse, “Zhang Xinda, you beast, fuck your grandma!”

　　Your wife Yao Xin is 170cm tall, and your sister-in-law is less than 150cm. How could you mistake her for someone else? Only someone blind and brain-dead would believe such nonsense.

　　Looking at the text message history, Yao Le’er hadn’t replied to him and seemed to be sulking.

　　Later on, Zhang Xinda tempted Yao Le’er by saying that since she did so well on the exam, her brother-in-law would reward her with a new phone. Only then did Yao Le’er give a coy response.

　　However, according to the records, Zhang Xinda didn’t buy it. He said he would secretly buy it when they met, and then he would ask Yao Le’er to go swimming together, saying that it was so hot and they should go to the water park.

　　Yao Le’er was very vigilant and kept asking if her eldest and second sisters were going together, but Zhang Xinda just dodged the question and didn’t give a direct answer.

　　Then they would ask her when she would be home, and a lot of things like her brother-in-law was coming to see her…

　　”Zhang Xinda, you beast! You have such a beautiful wife, yet you still go after your sister-in-law!!”

　　Xu Bin was cursing and swearing. Although he himself was now filled with evil thoughts, he would never be as stupid as Xu Bin. After talking for a long time, he still couldn’t bring himself to buy the phone.

　　He wants to woo women but isn’t willing to spend any money. How did his mother-in-law get so easily fooled by him? It’s outrageous!

　　Having already figured things out after seeing this, Xu Bin couldn’t resist looking at his sister-in-law’s and other classmates’ posts.

　　Most of the information was normal, but one piece of information about Gillian Chung left Xu Bin speechless.

　　The news report said that Gillian’s godfather had taken a liking to her sister-in-law, and this classmate was trying to persuade her sister-in-law to be with her godfather.

　　Yao Le’er refused but kept pestering him, then tempted him by saying he could buy a new phone and get some pocket money. What upset Xu Bin the most was that his sister-in-law softened and asked her how much money she could give him.
