Facing my question, my cousin was stunned. "Xiao Feng, you're still young. There are some things you don't understand. If a woman is disobedient, you should teach her a lesson. Otherwise, she'll have a bad memory."
He sounded like he was in the right. I realized that I didn't have much in common with my cousin. From what I could see, women weren't meant to be beaten. They were meant to be spoiled and loved.
Perhaps what she couldn't get from my cousin was compensated by me. So, my sister-in-law's view of me was constantly changing.
"None of the men in the village are like you. Just don't hit her." I used a commanding tone. I didn't know where I got the courage from.
Just as I said it, I felt that it wasn't appropriate. After all, I was the younger generation, so I added, "If Liu Jie finds out, she'll be angry. She hates domestic violence the most."
I suddenly had an idea. I used Liu Jie as a shield. My cousin's face stiffened and he shrunk his head. "Ahem, Xiao Feng, don't misunderstand. I was just saying. I didn't really hit her. I'm very good to your sister-in-law. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
"Humph." My sister-in-law turned her head away and didn't say anything.
I felt proud. If it were two days ago, my cousin would never give me face. After all, he had that kind of personality. Even if he did something wrong, he wouldn't admit it, especially when it was his own fault.
But now, he thought that I was Liu Jie's boyfriend. His attitude towards me was completely different. It was obvious that he wanted to curry favor with Liu Jie's father. Seeing my faint smile, my cousin panicked and said, "Xiao Feng, don't tell Liu Jie. My cousin gets muddle-headed when he drinks. Ahem, Xiao Mei, I'm sorry. It's my fault."
My sister-in-law didn't say anything and focused on peeling an apple. The atmosphere was awkward. My cousin said that he had something to do at the company and left.
As soon as he left, my sister-in-law cried. Her tears rolled down her cheeks. Her delicate face was heartbreaking. "What's wrong, sister-in-law? Did you cut your hand?!"
"No. It's the first time he apologized to me in all the years we've been married." She bit her pink lips and turned her head away. She didn't want to be seen crying.
Actually, there were some things my sister-in-law didn't want to tell me. It was normal. My cousin had a tough personality. If I accidentally said anything, he would definitely beat me. Now that we've known each other for a long time, I've become her most loyal listener. Perhaps, this is what's called a bosom friend.
Subconsciously, I reached out my hand and rubbed her head. It was a very intimate action, but she didn't struggle. She seemed to be enjoying it, just like a docile kitten.
After all, my EQ was limited, and I didn't know how to comfort her. I simply used my body to convey warmth.
She slowly stopped crying. Perhaps it was because she did not sleep well last night. She leaned against the side of the bed and actually fell asleep. From this angle, he could see her shining white chest. Those fiery red lips were even more alluring.
My sister-in-law's phone rang. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at me. We were only two or three centimeters apart. I could even feel her breath on my face.
"Who doesn't have dust on their head? Who doesn't have bite marks on their shoulders?" My sister-in-law's phone rang. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at me. We were only two or three centimeters apart. I could even feel her breath on my face.
"Hey, Xiao Feng, what are you doing?!"
My sister-in-law blushed and rolled her eyes at me. She inadvertently revealed her seductive charm, which made my heart skip a beat.
My sister-in-law wasn't in a hurry to argue with me. She took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID. She wanted to know who had interrupted me.
"Liu Jie."
I was speechless when I saw the caller ID. I'd just cursed her eighteen generations of ancestors in my heart. It was really awkward. At least I'd used Liu Jie to scare my cousin. I couldn't be ungrateful.
My sister-in-law gave me an ambiguous look. Then, she picked up the call. Liu Jie went straight to the point. "Where are you? Why didn't you go to school?"
"I'm going back to my hometown."
I held my voice and reminded my sister-in-law. If Liu Jie knew that I was staying in the hospital, she would definitely rush here. She would ruin our two-person world.
My sister-in-law smiled proudly. I felt guilty when she looked at me like that. Luckily, my sister-in-law explained to her that I had an emergency at home and had to go back. Liu Jie asked how long it would take.
My sister-in-law told her that it would take a few days. She would go back once she was done. She asked Liu Jie not to worry.
I was impressed. My sister-in-law had finally shown me what it meant to talk nonsense with a straight face.
Liu Jie didn't doubt it at all. What was more annoying was that Liu Jie didn't hurry to hang up. She started to talk about women's topics with my sister-in-law. For example, which brand of menstrual pills was better, which company was more cost-effective, etc.
In the end, it was shocking. Liu Jie asked shyly, "Sister Meizi, let me ask you. Do I need to wear sexy lingerie to seduce Brother Xiao Feng?
I always feel that he's neither hot nor cold towards me. "
I listened to them and almost vomited blood. My sister-in-law tried hard to hold back her laughter.
"I can't say for sure. Anyway, he's a kid from the mountains. He's conservative. You shouldn't wear something too sexy. Otherwise, he might have bad thoughts." My sister-in-law seemed to be very happy to talk about me like that.
I pulled a long face. Is there something wrong with him? My brother is so serious. When my sister-in-law wanted to push me down, I firmly rejected her.
"I'm not afraid of him. I'm just worried that I'm not charming enough." Liu Jie was a little upset.
"No, he won't. You're so beautiful. If I were a man, I would chase after you. Don't let your imagination run wild. He's just a blockhead." My sister-in-law didn't hesitate to compliment me. Liu Jie was very happy.
"Hehe, thank you. Sister Meizi, don't tell Brother Xiao Feng that I asked you about these things." Liu Jie reminded her again and again. Of course, my sister-in-law agreed.
Then, she hung up the phone. I felt so awkward. I was afraid that Liu Jie wouldn't even dream that I heard her clearly.
My sister-in-law smiled. "You silly boy. What did you do to make her fall in love with you?"
"Ugh …" I looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, my sister-in-law didn't care about it. She even forgot about my previous presumptuous actions. I was a little annoyed. Why didn't she ask me why? I had prepared a lot of words to praise her beauty, but I couldn't use them.
For the next few days, my sister-in-law didn't leave my side and took care of me. I recovered well. After that, my cousin didn't come to the hospital anymore. Although he liked the feeling of being alone with her, it cost a lot of money to stay in the hospital every day. Moreover, his studies were lagging behind.
Under my insistence, he was finally discharged from the hospital. When I returned home, the smell of instant noodles filled the room. There were also a lot of lunch boxes piled up. My cousin was playing on the computer in the room as if he hadn't gone out for a few days. My sister-in-law was a little angry and quarreled with him again.
This time, my cousin didn't argue. Instead, he smiled and said, "I'm counting on you." My sister-in-law couldn't lose her temper and cleaned up.
Then, my cousin asked me how I was feeling, how my conversation with Liu Jie was going, and if Liu Jie's father had contacted me. I felt strange and asked.
"Why did her father contact me?"
"It's like this. I called President Liu two days ago to explain the situation. He promised that as long as you and Liu Jie agree, he will lend me money." As soon as he finished his sentence, I heard my sister-in-law's roar.
"Zhuang Dongliang, are you done yet?
Are you shameless?! "
It was the first time I saw my sister-in-law so angry. It was no wonder that she was so angry. It was scary when her emotions exploded in an instant.
Damn, I was afraid that they would fight again. I didn't want to make things worse.
Unexpectedly, my cousin didn't fight back. Instead, he knelt on the ground. I was so scared that I peed my pants. My cousin knelt to me. What is this?
"Yes, I'm shameless. I'm a bastard. I'm worse than an animal. I know that I didn't do well in the past. I've failed in every aspect, but I want to succeed. I want to work hard and create good conditions. If possible, I don't want to trouble you. It's embarrassing, but I don't care. Face is nothing. I'm not afraid to tell you that if I don't return the money in three days, I might disappear from this world. I don't want to. I really don't have a child …" My cousin's tears streamed down as he spoke. He looked like a beggar.
As a man, I felt my heart ache. I even had the urge to call Liu Jie.
"Hmph, don't say that. You've lost your dignity and responsibility as a man. I look down on you," my sister-in-law said angrily, but her tone was much softer.
"Alright, then I'll just wait for death." Then, my cousin returned to his room.
I hesitated but didn't say anything. In my heart, I didn't consider Liu Jie and I as a couple. Moreover, we were just high school students. If it was just a few tens of thousands, it would be reasonable. But if it was a few hundred thousand, Liu Jie's father would treat me as his son-in-law.
When it was time to eat, my cousin locked himself in his room and didn't come out to eat. My sister-in-law looked sad. She sighed and went to knock on his door. "Give me her secret stash of two hundred thousand for my cousin to use."
Not long after, her cousin opened the door. He looked radiant and said a bunch of nice things. He even picked her up, spun her around a few times, and kissed her fiercely. He said, intentionally or unintentionally, "At critical moments, my wife is still the most reliable."
I didn't feel good. Wasn't he indirectly scolding me?
However, my sister-in-law asked him to promise that he wouldn't mention money to me again. My cousin agreed. Then, my sister-in-law transferred the money to him.
Sigh, she called me a silly boy every day and told me not to sympathize with my cousin. What a silly woman! Her heart softened. What else could I say? They were a couple, and my sister-in-law couldn't just watch them die.
My relationship with my sister-in-law was so fragile that it would shatter at the slightest touch. Now that they were back home, they were sticking to each other like glue. I was like a hundred-thousand-volt light bulb.
That night, I didn't sleep well. I couldn't help but think of the intimate scenes between them. I faintly heard some noises outside, but I didn't go out to check. I didn't want to see how awkward it would be if they ran out naked.
In the middle of the night, I was woken up by the urge to pee. As soon as I pushed the door open, I heard some strange noises. It turned out someone was sitting on the toilet, but the door was closed.
When he took a closer look, it was actually his sister-in-law!
Strangely enough, she didn't see me!
She seemed to have drunk a lot as the smell of alcohol permeated the entire bathroom. She was wearing a black skirt that hugged her hips. Her long, sexy legs were spread wide and her pink panties were pulled up to her knees. From my angle, I could see the lush grass in front of me.
