Chapter 76

　Yao Le’er giggled, “Thank you, brother-in-law. Long live brother-in-law! If anything happens, people will definitely tell you.”

　　”Pick a bigger wardrobe, at least so that my older sister can keep some pajamas and underwear at home.”

　　”Need not!”

　　Shen Ruyu, true to her nature, immediately said, “I need to get rid of some of my clothes too. Mom’s wardrobe is big, so you can put them here with me.”

　　”Okay, you can go explore on your own!”

　　”Honey, what are you and Mom going to eat?”

　　”We’ll just buy a boxed lunch later.”

　　There really can’t be a shortage of people at home. Besides the workers who are demolishing the walls, the air conditioner has also started to be installed. Moreover, the housekeeping staff didn’t leave after finishing cleaning the second floor, and they are also doing a deep cleaning of the kitchen and bathroom downstairs.

　　After the three sisters went out, Shen Ruyu, who had been calm just moments before, suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said in a trembling voice, “I’ll go downstairs and buy some boxed lunches.”

　　”Mom, don’t rush!”

　　Xu Bin grabbed her hand. Shen Ruyu was breathing rapidly and very nervous. She tried to shake him off but couldn’t.

　　The housekeepers all lived downstairs, so Shen Ruyu didn’t dare to struggle or speak. Her face flushed as she looked at Xu Bin.

　　”Let go, there are a lot of people at home…”

　　”mom!”

　　Just as Xu Bin was about to cherish this opportunity to be alone, the housekeeper came out to discuss how to clean the refrigerator.

　　Without thinking, Xu Bin let go of Shen Ruyu’s hand and she ran upstairs. Xu Bin was extremely frustrated, but there was nothing he could do. There were too many people around at home, and it wasn’t a good time to flirt with his mother-in-law.

　　Xu Bin sat down, feeling extremely depressed, and started smoking. Just then, his WeChat buzzed with a message from his mother-in-law, Shen Ruyu:

　　”Son-in-law, we both made mistakes that night because we drank too much. We’re a family living under the same roof. I can see how much Nannan loves you, and Mom is happy to see you two so loving. Let’s forget that dream; we shouldn’t have done that!”

　　Xu Bin glanced at it and laughed; his mother-in-law’s education level was quite inconsistent.

　　That shrew used to be someone who always swore and would curse at the slightest provocation, but now she seems quite adorable, all refined and cultured.

　　Who would agree to such a request? Xu Bin pondered how to reply to this message.

　　Suddenly, my WeChat rang again. It was a video sent by my sister-in-law, Yao Le’er. The background showed my two older sisters walking ahead after dinner, with me following behind like a little tagalong.

　　”Nannan, Xu Bin seems like a completely different person.”

　　”No, he’s always been like this, there’s no difference.”

　　”He arranged everything very well today, and the time order was also the same. Everything was in a smooth and orderly manner, which made us all feel very relaxed. If Mom had done this, we would all have been overwhelmed.”

　　”Big sister, you were prejudiced against him before. Binbin just doesn’t like to talk big, but he’s exceptionally smart, okay?”

　　”Stop bragging about your husband, okay? You know he’s a good man, alright?”

　　”I never expected that he would go out of his way to pick up his little sister today.”

　　”Binbin said that as our little sister grows up, we should respect her. She can pack her own things.”

　　”Little sister, be grateful to your second brother-in-law. None of us thought about this, but he remembered it.”

　　The video ended there, and Yao Le’er didn’t post anything else or any emojis, but the meaning was self-evident.

　　Xu Bin laughed. He was surprised that the three sisters were such good friends to each other, and that they were saying such nice things behind each other’s backs. He should thank their mother-in-law, the villain, for making them seem so united.

　　Xu Bin was lost in thought when his sister-in-law sent him another video, also secretly showing a scene in a furniture store:

　　”Nannan, to be honest, neither of you are people who spend money recklessly, so why did you buy that bracelet and even bought two for Mom? It must have cost you over 100,000 yuan.”

　　“Binbin suddenly bought it, which surprised me a bit. Maybe it’s because I’m not good enough. This series is so popular that many women in our hospital wear it. I only mentioned it two or three times and he secretly bought it for me.”

　　”Bullshit, you’re just like Versailles. Your husband took it to heart the moment you said that. But why did you buy it for Mom?”

　　“What’s wrong with buying it for Mom? Aunt Yanzi keeps nagging, and it’s making Mom feel suffocated. Everyone at the teahouse is so gossipy, who can stand that?”

　　At this point, Yao Nan, clearly showing off and shaking her head, said, “Binbin doesn’t understand these things. He went and wanted the most expensive one, but the bracelet that cost over 30,000 yuan felt like handcuffs. Mom wanted to show off but said her hands were sore, so Binbin bought her a cheaper one!”

　　Yao Le’er, who had been secretly filming, spoke first: “Wait a minute, my brother-in-law is such a stingy person, why did he spend so much money??”

　　Yao Nan was both amused and exasperated: “How is your brother-in-law stingy!”

　　Yao Le’er said in a serious tone, “My brother-in-law’s clothes are all free T-shirts with logos, and his underwear is almost all torn and full of holes.”

　　Yao Nan smiled even more happily, while Yao Xin was a little jealous and asked, “You seem to have a problem with that. Is it because your brother-in-law is stingy with your tuition and fees? You little ungrateful thing.”

　　Yao Le’er said with a smile, “No, my brother-in-law is very generous. I was just wondering why he’s so stingy with himself.”

　　Yao Nan sighed, “That’s just the kind of person he is. If I say I need to buy clothes for a thousand yuan, he’ll complain that I shouldn’t have called to ask him. But when it comes to himself… he’ll just wear underwear that costs a few yuan.”
