This sudden request really caught him off guard. He had to admit that his uncle was still very cunning. He did not completely let down his guard. After all, his cousin was seriously injured at that time and had not moved for a few years. Now that he was suddenly pregnant, even his uncle became suspicious.
Three hundred thousand was also very important to him, so he put up a temporary barrier. My uncle should have guessed it. After all, he was his son. How could he not know?
Earlier, my cousin even asked me if my sister-in-law had an affair. He didn't seem to be angry, but more like he had a tacit understanding. Could it be that he asked my sister-in-law to have an affair for money?!
Just thinking about it made me panic. If that was the case, my uncle would really be a fool.
I purposely observed my cousin's expression. His face was normal and I couldn't see anything.
"Dad, you're worrying too much. This child definitely belongs to the Zhuang family." My cousin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
My uncle sighed. "Of course I believe you. But you're usually busy with work and Xiao Mei is alone at home. It's hard to say."
It was obvious that my uncle was implying something. If my sister-in-law wanted to have an affair, it would be very easy. But during the time I was here, I didn't see her bring a man home. If she had gotten a room outside, I wouldn't have found out. Based on my understanding of her, she wouldn't do that.
"Xiao Mei, I hope you can understand." My uncle forced a smile. From his perspective, these things weren't superfluous.
My sister-in-law shook her head lightly. She was quite calm. "It's okay. I swear that this child belongs to the Zhuang family. Otherwise, I'll get hit by a car when I go out. I'll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."
Actually, I was also paying attention to my sister-in-law's every move. I felt inexplicably nervous. I was worried that if she lied, the oath would come true. In the end, she was so decisive. It was as if a knife had pierced into my heart and cut off the last bit of hope I had.
"Good, good, good. You're my good daughter-in-law."
My uncle kept staring at my sister-in-law. From her face, he couldn't find any flaws. Then, he smiled happily.
"Dad, I'm ashamed of you for mocking Xiao Mei like that." My cousin scolded.
"You can say that, but I'm old and I've suffered a lot from women. It's not a bad thing to be a little wary. Alright, alright. Take the money." The uncle laughed dryly and waved his hand.
My cousin couldn't help but smile. He took us to the bank to deposit the money. After all, it wasn't safe to leave so much cash at home. Then, he treated us to a big meal.
The two of us chatted and drank a lot. Since I was bored, I chatted with Liu Jie. "What are your plans for the holiday?"
Liu Jie told me that her father wanted to take her to Sanya to play, but she refused. She wanted to stay at home with me. I was touched. Perhaps, it was a blessing in disguise.
I glanced at my sister-in-law and noticed that she was also looking at me. I didn't know why, but she smiled when she saw me in a bad mood. She seemed happy.
It was obvious that she was building her happiness on top of my pain. I couldn't be bothered with her. I logged into Kings of Glory and played with Liu Jie. I often watched people play this game, so I was influenced by what I saw. I picked an ADC and Liu Jie was the support. We took the bottom lane and defeated the opponent in the first round.
When we got home, it was almost nine o 'clock. My uncle was drunk, and I had to support him when he walked. My cousin gave me a look and asked my sister-in-law to help his father wash up. My sister-in-law frowned and hesitated.
My uncle's body was filled with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol. It was really pungent. Even a man like me couldn't stand it, let alone my sister-in-law. "Cousin, my sister-in-law is pregnant, so it's not convenient for her to do this. Let me do it."
"Mn, that's fine. Sorry to trouble you," my cousin said and went into the room. He lay on the bed and played with his phone.
My sister-in-law gave me a grateful look, but I turned my head away. I didn't know why, but I felt like blaming my sister-in-law in my heart. I complained that she got pregnant out of nowhere and didn't give me a heads-up.
At least I would have been mentally prepared. This was like walking around in a maze and finally catching a glimmer of light, only to find it was an illusion.
Then, I got a hot towel and wiped my uncle. I also brought water to wash his feet. The moment I took off his shoes, I had the urge to cry. I really wanted to soak him in 84 disinfectant.
Luckily, my sister-in-law wasn't here to serve him. Otherwise, he might faint on the spot and have to be sent to the hospital. I held my breath and rubbed my uncle a few times.
"Mm, this feels good. Daughter-in-law, use some strength," my uncle said with a satisfied face. Damn, he drank a lot, but he didn't recognize me.
After washing his feet, I helped my uncle into my room. My sister-in-law was very thoughtful. She brought a plastic basin and canned fruits. She also told me that if my uncle wanted to vomit, he should vomit in the basin. Then, she would give him some canned fruits to sober up.
"I got it. You should go to sleep. Don't stay up late when you're pregnant. It's best if you buy a set of anti-radiation maternity clothes. You've been playing with your iPad and phone all day."
I realized that I was really despicable. My sister-in-law was pregnant, but I couldn't help but care about her. What was the point?
"You little thing, you're very thoughtful. Liu Jie will be blessed in the future." My sister-in-law nodded and smiled sweetly. Sigh, I've sinned.
I think my sister-in-law won't be very happy in the future. After all, my cousin is so selfish. He even deceived his father. It's clearly money to repay the debt, but he said it was for a project. When the time comes, he'll say that he's losing money, and the money will be wasted. My uncle had spoiled him since he was young. Even now, my cousin was still stubborn. As long as he decided to do something, he would do anything.
Previously, he had begged me to borrow money from Liu Jie's family. After all, I was a junior, and I hadn't known Liu Jie for a long time. I had some concerns. Moreover, my sister-in-law was on my side, so he couldn't force me.
I remembered that night, my sister-in-law had asked me if I would agree to borrow money from her. Actually, I was quite impulsive at that time. Even though I knew that I might have to bear a debt of five hundred thousand, I was still willing to do it. I just wanted my sister-in-law to understand my feelings.
However, she didn't make things difficult for me. In the end, my cousin and I worked hard to make a baby. Now, it could be said that our efforts had paid off.
It was a sleepless night. Not only was my sister-in-law pregnant, but my uncle kept calling Widow Wang's name and groping my body. I knew that my goddess had been tainted. It was like adding snow to snow.
The next morning, my uncle got up happily. He was trembling, but I looked like a frosted eggplant with dark circles under my eyes.
