Chapter 50: 050. Protective Sister-in-Law
Result...
As it turned out, it was quite a coincidence (or rather a nuisance) in this forest. The moment she entered, she saw her future sister-in-law acting childishly and humorously.
Is it any wonder that those who have lived longer and seen more things are different?
At the very least, when it comes to the thickness of skin, Shuzhen felt that neither her second sister-in-law nor her future (or rather past) little sister-in-law had her measure!
Only embarrassed for a mere three seconds or so, she quickly broke into a flower-like smile: "I thought Second Brother had some kind of great luck, that even a simple errand could bring back such a beauty, turns out it was Lian Yue. It’s been a while, sister, you’ve become much more pleasing to the eye."
Lian Yue widened her eyes: Is this the gentle and kind, considerate future sister-in-law that Big Brother mentioned? The one Second Brother and Sister say is as magnanimous as the Bodhisattva Guanyin?
Oh my heavens, she looks exactly like a spoiled rich kid teasing respectable women and children in a play!
Big Brother wouldn’t lie, and little bro’s judgment isn’t bad. Since they all say Liu Shuzhen is good, she must indeed be so.
The fault must be in the wrong way she made her entrance, causing such a big misunderstanding.
Lian Yue had a moment of enlightenment, wondering whether she should take two steps back and re-enter.
But to Su Hongying, it looked like a good girl was teased into a difficult spot by her sister-in-law, not knowing what to do, caught in an awkward situation. Always quick to defend justice, she lightly tapped her sister-in-law’s forehead and laughed: "Look at you, with no respect for age, she’s three years older than you, yet you dare call her sister? Must be your thick-skinned self-proclamation that scared Lian Yue!"
Knowing her sister-in-law was building a bridge for her, Shuzhen didn’t stand on ceremony.
She simply took Lian Yue’s arm, gave a charming side-eye to her second sister-in-law, Su Hongying: "Where am I thick-skinned? Merely stating the facts!
Everything between me and Brother Lianshan is set in stone, so that makes Lian Yue my little sister-in-law. No matter how much older she is, she’d still have to call me sister-in-law, right?
From now on, we’re family.
No matter what grudges we hold in private, upon meeting, they get dropped immediately. When things go wrong, we let go of all those old grievances and unite to face the hardships together.
Second Sister-in-law, don’t say things that ruin the bond between me and my sister-in-law. Otherwise, I’ll be running home crying to my mom every day to protest!"
Claiming to be a sister-in-law even before she’s married in might seem shameless to others.
But Shuzhen knew the knot in her sister-in-law’s heart. By firmly declaring: she cherished her brother and was willing to marry him and be her sister-in-law, it made her and Lian Hai united as a family. Far from seeing her future sister-in-law as shameless, she’d feel relieved. From now on, she’d see herself as her sister-in-law, her intimate family member.
Indeed, hearing this, Lian Yue was momentarily stunned.
Then she turned, staring seriously into Shuzhen’s eyes, saw the sincerity, and finally eased her worries. fгeewebnovёl.com
Realizing that this person was genuinely willing and not making a compromise just for the baby, Lian Yue, relieved and joyful, nodded with teary eyes: "Yes, yes, yes, Sister... Shuzhen you’re right, from now on, we’re family. We’ll unite our efforts, sharing our fortunes and facing difficulties together.
If anyone dares to bully you, they’re going against us three Lian siblings.
If anything happens, just call out. We’ll all back you up. Doesn’t matter if you’re right or wrong, our siblings will support you, absolutely defend family over reason!"
Liu Shouyi and Su Hongying, who were worried about the sister-in-law, burst into laughter, seeing how Lian Yue could present unreasonable family loyalty so brilliantly.
Indeed, placing family over reason is a good trait!
Especially when it’s about defending one’s own family.
By this measure, although the Lian siblings may be somewhat poor, their character and morals far surpass those mixed up with the Dai family by tens of thousands of miles.
Dai Weiguo has been serving in the army, leaving the burden of serving the elders and educating the siblings on Shuzhen’s shoulders.
Without Shuzhen managing, it would have been questionable if the Dai family elder could have a decent burial, not to mention those siblings getting married.
In that marriage, Shuzhen certainly lived up to the four words ’eldest sister-in-law as mother’.
But the result?
The unfortunate brother became a Chen Shimei, a heartless betrayer. Apart from the third brother, Dai Weijia, who spoke up for his sister-in-law against the elder brother, Dai Weimin and Dai Weijuan fought to flatter Bai Jing for a city job, trying to persuade the former sister-in-law to let go, saying, "A twisted melon isn’t sweet."
Even the old Dai lady who once cried about how having Shuzhen as a daughter-in-law was her proudest achievement became speechless, only crying that her son wouldn’t listen to his mother.
Compared to the Dai family, who spoke lofty words but acted like beasts, Lian Yue’s straightforward favoritism won the Liu family’s hearts more.
Indeed, it’s not about recognizing talent but comparing it.
They didn’t know Lian Yue’s style, but hearing her words brought them great joy.
Shuzhen, knowing her sister-in-law’s determination, was even more touched.
In the past, this sister-in-law disapproved of her ’being in Cao’s camp while her heart was in Han’s’ but would never allow others to criticize her.
When she was in a daze, losing herself, Lian Yue would confront anyone who mocked her, even going to the child’s home to reason with their parents.
Until no one in Liu’s village or nearby towns dared bully her or look at her children differently.
Without accepting her, but respecting her as sister-in-law and mother to the nieces and nephews, she defended her.
Now that she truly accepts her, wouldn’t she treat her even more kindly and be closer?
Imagining the harmonious future with her sister-in-law and sister, Shuzhen couldn’t help but smile, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Having come with intention to give and now finding peace with her new sister-in-law, she naturally wouldn’t hold back. Quickly, she untied her triangular bag to show the fun things she brought: the carefully picked and cleaned black fungus the size of fingernails, the dried and string-tied hazel mushroom, and button mushroom. Most precious of all, two pairs of furry, white monkey head mushrooms.
