Chapter 111 She's Not a Wicked Sister
Chapter 111 She's Not a Wicked Sister
Now I vaguely remember some of it.
He was an old man with a reclusive personality who also lived in the county town. Not far from their large courtyard, he lived alone in a small courtyard in the alley across the street.
That small courtyard is said to have always belonged to the old lady's ancestors. It has several rooms, totaling about 60 or 70 square meters, and also has a separate small courtyard, which is very quiet.
She doesn't like to go out or socialize.
He was also dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law, Wang Yinhua, and had stayed indoors ever since his only son passed away.
Because she looked more like Wang Yinhua, the old lady didn't treat her granddaughter very well. Sometimes, they would only see each other once a year during holidays.
The old lady was slightly nicer to her grandson Xu Fei, but not by much.
Every year during Chinese New Year, the siblings visit each other to offer New Year's greetings and receive red envelopes containing the same amount of money.
Wang Yinhua sighed, "Back then, your grandma didn't approve of your dad and me being together, but your dad couldn't live without me. Because of this, he simply brought us out to live with him."
Perhaps it's because I've become a mother myself and have children now that I can understand why the old lady didn't agree to their relationship back then.
One was in her first marriage, the other was in her second marriage with a child, and she was also several years older than her son, and her reputation wasn't good either.
It's perfectly normal for a mother to object.
She didn't really hate her mother-in-law. They didn't live together, and unless they deliberately met, they rarely saw each other. Sometimes she even felt that her mother-in-law was a pitiful person.
During holidays and festivals, people would give the two children red envelopes, but this time, for their daughter's wedding, they gave such valuable gifts.
After the mother and daughter talked for a while...
It was getting late, and the lights were about to go out if I didn't go back soon.
Xu Sui packed her things away, opened the door to the room she used to live in, and called Xu Fei over to help move the books.
She originally wanted to help move the books herself, since all the books from her two years of high school added up to quite a lot.
However, Wang Yinhua stopped her, saying, "It's alright, let your brother move it by himself. You're pregnant, how can you do these things?"
"It's a good opportunity for Xiaofei to get some exercise. The neighbor's house isn't far away, so he can finish moving everything in a few trips."
Xu Fei, who was engrossed in moving books, overheard his mother's words: "..."
Okay, the older sister is a treasure, and the younger brother is trash.
He's used to it; that's how he's always been.
Fortunately, today's work wasn't for nothing; he even got a White Rabbit candy. Let alone moving these few books, he could move the entire house out of the house if asked.
He Quan, who was sitting in the living room outside, suddenly came up to help.
Without saying a word, he picked up another stack of books and followed Xu Fei out.
Xu Sui was about to say that he didn't need to do such a small thing when Wang Yinhua interrupted her, "Let him move it. You're the one who gave up his wife's job. What's wrong with helping him move some things?"
"Don't be afraid. If anyone dares to say anything, Mom will confront them personally."
She finds her eldest daughter-in-law increasingly displeasing, constantly nitpicking and arguing. Instead of focusing on her work, she wonders if she could get a permanent position and transfer her and Jinbao's household registration to the city.
Xu Sui gently patted Wang Yinhua's back, "Okay, Mom, don't think about those things anymore."
"Getting angry makes you age faster."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yinhua immediately panicked and quickly touched her face. Fortunately, she didn't have many wrinkles yet.
Women love beauty, and she loved beauty the most when she was young. She wanted the best of everything she used on her face and wore.
Now that I'm older, I'm not the same as I used to be, but my love for beauty hasn't changed.
With the help of two people, the books were moved quickly.
Xu Sui thanked He Quan before leaving.
After leaving the Xu family's house, they realized that a little tail had appeared behind them.
She paused, then stopped.
Xu Fei immediately came over and called out to him in a very affectionate manner.
"Sis, where did you get this radio? I'm always bored, can I listen to the radio at your place? I'd like to listen to comic books."
How could he not know that his sister had this skill? It's amazing that she can repair such a big item as a radio. Is she still his sister who only knows how to cheat men out of food and drink?
Xu Sui patted Xu Fei's head and said, "It's possible, but the premise is that you have to finish your homework every day. You can't be perfunctory or copy other people's work."
"If you can get into the affiliated middle school of the textile factory next year, I'll give you this radio, and you can listen to it however you like."
Xu Fei's eyes widened in surprise, thinking he had misheard.
"Sis, you...you're serious, you're not kidding me, are you? I can't take a joke like that."
That was a radio, a big deal, a rare item. It cost money and required coupons. Nobody in their courtyard had one.
His sister is really too extravagant.
Xu Sui nodded. "Of course it's true. If I promised, I can do it."
"As for you, with your current grades, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to pass the exam, and you probably won't get my radio."
Xu Fei instinctively retorted, "Who said that? I can, I definitely can."
"Just you wait and see."
"But I don't want a radio, sis. Can you teach me how to fix a radio later?" Xu Fei grabbed Xu Sui's hand and shook it, calling her "sis" almost in a mixed-up tone.
Although he wasn't good at studying, he wasn't stupid.
Choosing to choose a radio means you only have one radio, but choosing to learn how to repair a radio means you'll learn a skill once you've mastered it.
As the saying goes, you'll be in demand wherever you have a skill. When he graduates, he won't need his family to pay for a job; he'll be able to support himself.
Xu Sui couldn't help but glance at the boy in front of her. He wasn't stupid; he knew to choose what was more advantageous for him.
"Okay, provided you can pass the exam."
Xu Fei instantly perked up, raised his chin, and patted his chest to assure her, "Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem."
"Don't you know whose brother I am? We were born to the same parents. My sister is so good at studying, there's no reason why I can't. I just didn't study hard enough before."
"Once I study hard, getting into the affiliated middle school of our textile factory will be a piece of cake."
Looking at the face in front of her that resembled her somewhat, Xu Sui smiled. She patted herself down and finally pulled out a White Rabbit milk candy. She unwrapped the candy and fed it to Xu Fei.
Open your mouth.
Without thinking, Xu Fei instinctively opened his mouth as instructed, before he could even see what it was.
Suddenly, a sweet, milky-flavored treat appeared in my mouth.
He quickly realized what Xu Sui had given him to eat, and immediately became happy, his eyes welling up with tears.
"Sis, why are you suddenly being so nice to me lately? I'm almost moved to tears."
In the past, this person would either beat him or despise him.
I've never fed him anything myself before, let alone given him such good milk candy.
This doesn't seem like that vicious older sister at all.
