Yao Le'er giggled, "Thanks, brother-in-law, long live brother-in-law. If there's any trouble, I'll definitely tell you about it."
"Pick a bigger wardrobe, at least Auntie needs to put so sleepwear and underwear when she's ho."
"No need!"
Shen Ruyu imdiately responded, "I need to clear out so of my clothes too. Mom's wardrobe is big, so I'll just put mine there."
"Alright, you guys go shopping!"
"Husband, what are you and Mom going to eat?"
"We'll just buy so boxed als later."
The family indeed can't do without people. Besides the workers demolishing the wall, the air conditioners are being installed, and the housekeepers, after tidying up the second floor, haven't left yet. The kitchen and bathrooms downstairs are also undergoing deep cleaning.
After the three sisters left, Shen Ruyu, who had been acting calm, suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and stamred, "I'll go buy so boxed als."
"Mom, no rush!"
Xu Bin pulled her hand, and Shen Ruyu's breathing quickened with nervousness as she tried to pull away but couldn't.
The housekeepers were all downstairs, and Shen Ruyu didn't dare struggle or speak, her face turning red as she looked at Xu Bin.
"Let go, there are so many people at ho..."
"Mom!"
Xu Bin wanted to cherish this mont alone, but the housekeeper ca out to discuss how to clean the refrigerator.
As soon as he let go of Shen Ruyu, she ran upstairs. Xu Bin felt incredibly frustrated but couldn't do much about it. There were too many people around, and it wasn't the right ti to flirt with his mother-in-law.
Xu Bin sat down and lit a cigarette, feeling incredibly frustrated. His WeChat pinged; it was a ssage from his mother-in-law, Shen Ruyu:
"Son, that night we both made a mistake because we had too much to drink. We are a family living under the sa roof. I can see how much Nan loves you, and Mom is happy to see you both so loving. Let's forget about that dream; we shouldn't have done that!"
Xu Bin smiled after reading it. His mother-in-law's language skills were all over the place, sotis high-brow, sotis low-brow.
Previously, she was a shrew who cursed and swore at the slightest provocation. Now, she sounded so refined; it was rather cute.
Who would agree to such a request? Xu Bin thought about how to reply.
Suddenly, another WeChat ssage pinged. It was a video from his sister-in-law, Yao Le'er. The background showed the two older sisters walking ahead, with Yao Le'er playing the role of a little tail behind them after they finished eating.
"Nan, Xu Bin seems like a different person."
"No, he's always been like this; there's no difference."
"He arranged everything so smoothly today, and the timing was perfect. We all felt relaxed. If Mom had done it, we would all be running around like crazy."
"Big Sister, you should have said this earlier. Bin just doesn't like to boast, but he's really smart, okay?"
"Stop boasting about your husband; I know he's good."
"I didn't expect him to specially go pick up Little Sister today."
"Bin said Little Sister is grown up now, and as her older sisters, we should respect her. She can take care of her own things."
"Little Sister, be grateful to your sister-in-law. None of us thought of this; only he rembered."
The video ended there. Yao Le'er didn't send any more ssages or emojis, but her aning was clear.
Xu Bin smiled, realizing that the three sisters were each other's secret weapons. Behind their backs, they only said good things about each other. It was surprising, and he should thank his mother-in-law for being the antagonist that brought them closer.
As Xu Bin was lost in thought, his sister-in-law sent another video, this one secretly recorded in a furniture city:
"Nan, to be honest, you two aren't people who spend money recklessly, so why did you buy that bracelet and even get two for Mom? That's over ten thousand yuan!"
"Bin suddenly bought it, and I was a bit surprised. Maybe it's because I'm not good enough. This series is very popular, and many won at the hospital wear it. I ntioned it a couple of tis, and he secretly bought it for ."
"Nonsense, you're just being extra. You ntioned it, and your husband rembered. But why did you get one for Mom?"
"Why not? Auntie Yan always brags, and Mom feels bad about it. Those tea house people are all gossips; who can stand it?"
At this point, Yao Nan, clearly proud, shook her head and said, "Xu Bin doesn't understand these things. He goes for the most expensive, and that bracelet was over thirty thousand, heavy as handcuffs. Mom wanted to show it off but complained her hand ached, so Xu Bin bought her a cheaper one!"
Yao Le'er, who had been recording the video, spoke up, "That's weird. Brother-in-law is so stingy, and he's spending so much money?"
Yao Nan laughed helplessly, "Your brother-in-law isn't stingy!"
Yao Le'er seriously said, "Your brother-in-law's clothes are all free T-shirts with logos, and his underwear is full of holes."
Yao Nan laughed even more happily, and Yao Yan, a bit jealous, asked, "You seem to have an opinion. Is your brother-in-law stingy with your school fees?"
Yao Le'er laughed, "No, my sister-in-law is very generous. I was just thinking about how your brother-in-law is so stingy with himself."
Yao Nan sighed, "He's just like that. I tell him to buy clothes for a thousand, and he complains it's too much, but for himself... a few yuan for underwear, and he wears it until it's full of holes."
