Traveling through books in the 70s: The group favors the Wang family’s little koi carp

"Not only that, I'm not only living in my ex-brother-in-law's house, but I'm also pregnant." When Shen Hua'er mentioned it, Zhou Lingling felt proud rather than ashamed.

A bomb was thrown, causing Shen Hua'er and the others to almost forget the purpose of their coming here.

Zhu Xiufen grabbed Shen Cao'er and said, "Cao'er, what are you telling mother about? Why is she still pregnant?"

"Isn't she your man's ex-sister-in-law? What's wrong with staying at your house while pregnant?"

Being chased by his mother, who grabbed her hand and asked Zhou Lingling what was going on, Shen Caoer's palms were cold and she tried her best to calm down.

"Mom, listen to me." From an angle that Zhu Xiufen couldn't see, Shen Caoer turned her head and looked at Zhou Lingling pleadingly.

"It's like this. Lingling was Shouli's former sister-in-law, but she always regarded Shouli as her brother. No, her man was on a business trip recently."

"She was pregnant and had no fun staying at home, so she came over to see her brother and me as her sister-in-law, so she could take care of her."

"I misunderstood Hua'er last time I saw her. Lingling loves to joke and doesn't like to explain after she makes a joke. Hua'er also has a bad temper. The two of them are right now."

The more she made it up, the smoother it became: "So it's actually nothing. Mom, you take care of the flowers. It's hard for me to be a stepmother. She can't help me offend people because of her temper."

"Me? I help you offend people?" Shen Hua'er became angry when she heard this, "Shen Cao'er, you have to speak with your conscience."

"I am your sister, will I harm you? If it weren't for you, would I go against this incomparable person?"

She could see how Zhou Lingling manipulated Shen Cao'er last time.

No matter how disappointed she was with Shen Cao'er, she was also Shen Cao'er's biological sister. It was okay for her to plot against Shen Cao'er, but she would not tolerate others bullying Shen Cao'er.

Zhou Lingling was just Tang Shouli's former sister-in-law. Tang Shouli had already remarried, so why could Zhou Lingling still dominate the Tang family?

My sister has been dead for many years, and I can’t figure out the situation.

Shen Hua'er didn't think there was anything wrong with helping Shen Cao'er come forward.

But why did she help Shen Cao'er out, and Shen Cao'er didn't appreciate it, so he just ignored her and said she was just causing trouble and helping to offend others?

Where can she go to reason with this? !

All the good intentions were fed to the dog!

"Sister, please calm down. I know you have good intentions, but aren't the bad things you do with good intentions also bad things?"

"I'm tired enough every day. If you can't help me, at least don't cause trouble for me."

After ordering the three of them, Shen Cao'er motioned for them to sit on the stools next to the sofa. His intention was very clear, because he felt that they were covered in dust from the rush.

She finally washed the sofa cover that she had put on, but she couldn't sit on it anymore.

Seeing her disgust, Zhu Xiufen felt sour in her heart and rubbed her patched pants uncomfortably.

She didn't want to embarrass her daughter, but there was really no other way.

Turning her head, Zhu Xiufen looked at Tang Shouli flatteringly: "Um...son-in-law, you see my mother came to the door without even saying hello. Don't blame me for being rude."

"It's okay." Tang Shouli said and walked to Zhou Lingling and sat down. "It's normal for a mother-in-law to miss her daughter and come to the city to take a look."

After hearing that he called Shen Cao'er's mother-in-law, Zhou Lingling was furious and pinched him secretly from behind.

"hiss!"

"Hey, what's going on, Xiao Tang?"

Tang Shouli waved his hand to indicate to Zhu Xiufen not to worry: "It's okay. I've been busy with work these days and my back hurts from exhaustion. I just stretched my waist because I was anxious while sitting."

"But why did I seem to be looking at..." Zhu Xiufen continued to ask, but her arm was suddenly patted by Shen Hua'er, who was sitting next to her.

Shen Hua'er and Zhu Xiufen were close to each other, and what Zhu Xiufen saw she also looked at.

Wasn't it Zhou Lingling who reached out and messed with Tang Shouli's back?

Isn't it because Zhou Lingling doesn't regard her as an outsider? Her ex-brother-in-law doesn't even know how to give in to avoid suspicion when he sits so close to her.

Isn't it just that it's not dignified in front of Shen Cao'er's family members?

What is this?

Shen Hua'er has a long memory. In one word - mind your own business.

They don't think it's for Cao'er's good and to stand up for Cao'er, but they don't appreciate it and instead blame them for being too careless.

Said they offended someone on her behalf.

After secretly tugging on her mother's sleeves twice, Zhu Xiufen reluctantly shut her mouth.

There were obviously so many people in the room, but they were all strangely speechless for a moment.

No one said anything, which was boring. Zhou Lingling was teasing Tang Shouli behind his back again.

This time, everyone could see it clearly.

Facing the suspicious looks of her parents, Shen Cao'er took a deep breath and said something to divert their attention: "Mom, have you come over so early to eat?"

Zhu Xiufen wanted to say that she had eaten, but when she mentioned eating, her stomach growled first.

Guan Shuixiang rushed to say: "I haven't eaten yet. We set out early in the morning just to see you. Cao'er, you can watch and make something. Auntie won't be picky."

"Pfft." Zhou Lingling covered her mouth and chuckled. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the bowl of grapes that Shen Cao'er had just picked up from the ground.

He picked it up casually and placed it in front of Zhu Xiufen and the others.

There was nothing wrong with her tone, but she was so enthusiastic that Zhu Xiufen was flattered.

Zhou Lingling: "My dear, let's eat some grapes first to cushion our stomachs. They are fresh and sweet, and they are freshly washed and clean."

I don’t understand why she emphasized that grapes are clean. Zhu Xiufen doesn’t care about this. All she can think about now is how sweet grapes are that Zhou Lingling said.

But... is it sweet?

She swallowed, life was too bitter, and she had eaten too many bitter vegetables these days, and she almost forgot what "sweet" tasted like.

"Then...are we not polite?" Guan Shuixiang grabbed a few grapes and stuffed them into his mouth one after another while asking.

"Hmm! It's so sweet!"

Once she got up, Zhu Xiufen and Shen Hua'er were no longer polite. There were not many grapes, and the three of them ate all the remaining grapes at the bottom of the bowl in a short time.

Zhou Lingling looked at Shen Cao'er with a smile.

It wasn't until the grapes were gone that she shrugged boredly, stood up, rubbed her sore neck and entered the house.

……

While Shen Cao'er was cooking for her mother's family and a bunch of people gathered in the kitchen to reminisce about old times, Tang Shouli found an excuse to go into the house to see Zhou Lingling.

"Lingling, why don't you stay in the outer room? Are you feeling unwell? Are there too many people making a noise?"

"No." Zhou Lingling lay on the bed, "I just think it's quite boring."

Bored?

Sitting on the edge of the bed and holding Zhou Lingling's hand, Tang Shouli raised his eyebrows: "I thought you liked watching the Shen family make a fool of themselves."

"I really like watching it." Zhou Lingling chuckled, "Don't you think it's particularly interesting that Shen Caoer's face changes every time she meets her parents?"

"Usually she just looks embarrassed, or feels aggrieved, as if I did something to her, like a little bitter weed."

"But every time I meet my mother-in-law, I have to immediately put on a different face and act like the section chief's wife."

It's...very interesting.

Otherwise, the last time Shen Hua'er came, she wouldn't have been kind enough to cooperate with Shen Cao'er in acting.

Tang Shouli: "Then are you... tired of watching the theater?"

"No, I suddenly felt bored again." Withdrawing the hand held by Tang Shouli, Zhou Lingling began to chase people away, "You'd better get out."

"Don't let them go behind your back and agree. You can't figure out your position before you agree."

"Looking at what they are wearing, it looks like they are here to enjoy the autumn breeze."

Reluctantly scraping Zhou Lingling's nose, Tang Shouli said with a smile, "How else can I say that a woman's heart is as deep as the bottom of her heart?"

"You may like it now and find it boring the next. It's hard to guess what you are thinking."

He made a joke: "What will I do if I want to please you in the future? I might like you one second, but I might start to get annoyed the next second."

"What!" Zhou Lingling said angrily, slapping away the hand that was touching her nose, "You really don't know why I feel bored?"

"Why? Because of that plate of grapes? You don't want to give them to them. Are you unhappy after they eat them? So are you coming back here to get angry?"

He stretched out his leg and gave Tang Shouli a kick. Tang Shouli, the one who was beaten, was not doing well yet, but Zhou Lingling, the one who beat him, was very angry at first.

"Tang Shouli, you bastard!"

His patience running out, Tang Shouli frowned: "Why am I such a jerk again? Zhou Lingling, don't make unreasonable troubles just because you're pregnant!"

"You're just a bastard. You still don't admit it and you say I'm being unreasonable."

With a sore nose, Zhou Lingling said with emotion: "It's obvious that you underestimate me and look down on me. Do you think I have very short-sighted eyes?"
