Chapter 250: Chapter 250 Third Sister-in-Law Returns
The blazing sun hung in the sky as Tang Chuxia stretched languidly, feeling content as she watched her bustling family.
She had just strolled out when she saw her elder sister-in-law approaching with a nervous look on her face, cradling her belly.
“Elder sister-in-law, what are you doing?”
Tang Chuxia rushed to her elder sister-in-law’s side, genuinely worried that she might trip and fall—what would happen to her nephew then?
Clutching Tang Chuxia’s hand, the elder sister-in-law asked, “Xiaxia, tell the truth, is your third sister-in-law really coming back?”
Tang Chuxia hadn’t expected her elder sister-in-law to be worried about this and obediently nodded; after all, Third Brother had said so—his future wife was definitely going to pay a visit.
The elder sister-in-law swallowed nervously, “When I give birth, can you make sure your third sister-in-law stands by the door?”
Tang Chuxia was utterly confused by this request, not understanding what her elder sister-in-law was up to. Fortunately, she was straightforward and quickly revealed her reason—it turned out she feared her elder brother’s return, and if he barged into the birthing room, it would be troubleso.
Usually, many won would want their husbands by their side during childbirth, so why did her elder sister-in-law feel the opposite?
Without hesitation, the elder sister-in-law addressed Tang Chuxia’s puzzled look: “It’s because of this belly of mine!”
The elder sister-in-law explained that her belly had developed stretch marks during pregnancy, which looked quite frightening, and she feared her elder brother might be repulsed after witnessing it.
Tang Chuxia waved her hand dismissively, “How could he? If he disdains you for your stretch marks, not only would we not let him off, but Madam Tang would rip him to shreds!”
Won already endure so much in childbirth, and if a man can’t understand that and harbors disdain as a result, he might as well be disabled.
As the elder sister-in-law continued to worry, Tang Chuxia didn’t want her to dwell on it any longer, becoming more anxious by the thought. It was better to divert her attention, so Tang Chuxia inquired about why having her third sister-in-law guard the door mattered.
“Your third sister-in-law has a piercing gaze, and your elder brother is afraid of her!”
After the elder sister-in-law spoke, Tang Chuxia felt her face stiffen. If another woman said this about her man, wouldn’t she be jealous? Why did it sound like a relief to her elder sister-in-law?
And most importantly, her third sister-in-law was a legendary beauty, not so fierce ogress. How had she beco the fierce deity they spoke of?
The original host’s mories of this third sister-in-law were too vague; Tang Chuxia didn’t understand and decided to wait until she t her in person.
Yesterday, Madam Tang ntioned wanting to call Third Brother, but he couldn’t be found. By the ti she phoned, he had already left on a mission, and Madam Tang had been fretting ever since.
This morning, upon hearing her eldest daughter-in-law’s conversation with Tang Chuxia, she sighed, “It’s not a bad thing for Third Brother’s wife to visit, but…”
Her expression left much unsaid, as if she had hinted at sothing without uttering a word.
As everyone pondered, a car arrived at their doorstep.
The elder sister-in-law nudged Tang Chuxia, who understood that at this ti, there could be only one visitor—her mysterious third sister-in-law.
She ran out to open the gate and indeed saw a jeep parked at the entrance, with a strikingly handso beauty alighting from it.
Upon seeing Tang Chuxia, the beauty opened her arms and embraced her, “Little sister, did you miss ?”
Wrapped in the embrace of the beautiful woman, Tang Chuxia caught a whiff of a subtle fragrance, presumably from her, and she nodded obediently, “I think of you every day, third sister-in-law!”
The third sister-in-law was pleased with Tang Chuxia’s response, released her, and handed her a package. She said it was a gift for her and told her to go inside the house to open it and see if she liked it.
Only then did the third sister-in-law greet Madam Tang and the elder sister-in-law.
She was courteous and well-mannered, displaying perfect poise without any awkwardness entering her husband’s ho.
Madam Tang and the elder sister-in-law felt a bit uneasy, while Tang Chuxia watched from behind and couldn’t help shaking her head.
The third sister-in-law is indeed a beauty, but she cos with a special status—she’s just too high up.
If one were to describe it, it’s the kind of feeling you get when a royal relative marries down.
Although the third sister-in-law isn’t a princess, if it were the feudal dynasty, she would definitely be of at least the rank of a duchess, her identity and status determine how high she stands. Even though she frequently visits the Tang Family, the third sister-in-law herself is very formidable; nowadays, she is considered to stand on equal footing with Third Brother Tang.
The two of them have been unmarried for so long not because the third sister-in-law doesn’t want to marry, but because Third Brother Tang feels he isn’t yet her equal and is working hard to earn his rits!
Otherwise, why would Third Brother Tang, who adores Tang Chuxia so much, not co back when Tang Chuxia complained?
He is simply too busy.
The third sister-in-law explained Tang Jianzheng’s current situation and whispered her complaint to Madam Tang, “My parents have been advising him not to care so much about his position and to just get married as is, but he wouldn’t listen. I’m even getting anxious to have children!”
Madam Tang’s smile was so wide she couldn’t close her mouth; who wouldn’t cherish such a sensible daughter-in-law?
The third sister-in-law, looking at the elder sister-in-law’s belly, had stars in her eyes, “I also want to have a baby!”
Madam Tang took the third sister-in-law’s hand, her face full of satisfaction, “I’ll have Xiaxia talk to Third Brother later. It’s not right for him to go too far and neglect you!”
The third sister-in-law nodded vigorously, “Exactly, that’s what I think too. Xiaxia’s going to have her work cut out for her this ti!”
Tang Jianzheng, who was mad about indulging his sister, was still very pleased to go along with what Tang Chuxia said.
Eating the chocolate the third sister-in-law had brought back, Tang Chuxia watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair enjoying each other’s company silently, realizing just how skilled the third sister-in-law was at winning over her mother-in-law.
She could indeed learn sothing from this, starting by ingratiating herself with Aunt Hong so that even if she did sothing not so good to Gu Beihuai in the future, Aunt Hong wouldn’t dislike her.
As they were speaking, Father Tang also ca back. Early in the morning, Madam Tang had sent him out to buy donkey at sandwiches simply because Tang Chuxia liked them.
Father Tang strolled in with his hands behind his back, and the mont he saw the third sister-in-law, he instinctively retracted his foot, his body instinctively wanting to turn back.
There was no way the third sister-in-law didn’t notice Father Tang, “Uncle Tang!”
The third sister-in-law called out, and Father Tang had no choice but to step forward again, with a smile forced onto his face.
“Xiaobai is here!”
The smile on Father Tang’s face was too fake, Tang Chuxia feared he couldn’t maintain it.
The third sister-in-law stepped forward obediently to speak, and everyone proceeded to the dining hall to sit down for the al.
But during the al, the third sister-in-law suddenly said to Father Tang, “Uncle Tang, Third Brother asked to relay a ssage to you.”
Father Tang had a bad feeling and didn’t want to hear it, but the third sister-in-law didn’t care whether he wanted to listen and directly stated,
“Third Brother says: ‘The Tang Family can only have one leading lady. It can do without a father but not without a mother.'”
The third sister-in-law finished with a cheeky grin, and Father Tang felt a chill go down his spine.
His hunch had been right on the mark.
Tang Chuxia quietly gave the third sister-in-law a thumbs-up; the third sister-in-law blinked and graciously accepted.
“Uncle Tang, Third Brother was called away on an urgent mission and can’t co back. He’s worried Auntie might feel sad and insisted, several tis, that I make sure Auntie is happy. If Auntie isn’t happy, he wouldn’t mind abandoning the mission to co back directly!”
Father Tang’s facial muscles twitched, as he swallowed hard and gave a strained laugh, “The mission is important!”
