Chapter 330 Let the Sister-in-law Hold It
The singing upstairs continued, but the sister-in-law ignored Xu Yuexin.

Xu Yuexin did not go upstairs either. Instead, he sat down on the sofa on the first floor, turned on the tape recorder, turned the volume up to maximum, and played pop music.

Now my sister-in-law stopped singing.

She pushed open the door of a room upstairs and made a request to Xu Yuexin.

“Can you lower your voice a little?”

“I’m singing.”

“no.”

Xu Yuexin slumped on the sofa, his hands behind his head, his eyes closed, and spoke slowly.

“It’s not like you can’t hear it.”

The sister-in-law frowned, suspecting that Xu Yuexin was deliberately trying to make trouble for her.

“What a coincidence. My ears haven’t been feeling well lately.”

“I couldn’t hear you clearly just now.”

My sister-in-law was a little angry at what he said.

She hurried down the stairs, came to the sofa and paused Xu Yuexin’s recorder.

“If your ears hurt, go to the hospital.”

The sister-in-law stared at Xu Yuexin who was sitting on the sofa and said, “You are so loud, the neighbors will tell on you if you stay in the building.”

“Isn’t this just buying a single-family house?”

Xu Yuexin finally opened his eyes, stared at his sister-in-law and laughed, “I don’t mean any harm, I just want you to come down and talk.”

“Oh, are you really just talking?”

“of course.”

Xu Yuexin got up quickly, took his sister-in-law’s hand and said, “I think you seem to have some prejudice against me.”

“We should resolve it.”

“Oh, that’s not how it should be.”

The sister-in-law pulled her hand away and looked out the window.

“Why should it be?”

“Your lifestyle is not good.”

The eldest sister-in-law said confidently, “Qiaoqiao is so good, but you are still indecisive.”

“No double-mindedness.”

Xu Yuexin assured his sister-in-law, “I only have you and Qiaoqiao in my heart.”

“Isn’t that called being indecisive?”

“This is just two hearts, how can there be three hearts?”

“…”

The sister-in-law looked at Xu Yuexin speechlessly.

After such a long time, she finally experienced Xu Yuexin’s ability of sophistry again.

“If I had known this, I would have bought a house for myself.”

The sister-in-law snorted angrily, “It would save you from being in front of me all day and annoying me.”

“Wouldn’t that be far away from Qiaoqiao?”

Xu Yuexin spread his hands and said, “Ms. Chen Yixue, you don’t want to be separated from your dearest relatives, right?”

My sister-in-law was choked by his anger.

“Never mind you.”

The eldest sister-in-law glared at him, waved her hand and walked upstairs, saying, “Don’t use Qiaoqiao to blackmail me.”

“How can this be called hostage-taking?”

Xu Yuexin quickly stepped forward, hugged his sister-in-law’s slender waist from behind, pressed her back and buttocks tightly together, and said, “It’s just stating a fact.”

“Okay, okay, I can’t afford to offend you.”

The sister-in-law struggled in his arms, trying to push his hand away, “Can you let me go?”

“No.”

“Then I need to go to the bathroom!”

The sister-in-law was obviously a little anxious and struggled harder in Xu Yuexin’s arms.

Ok.

Xu Yuexin had no choice but to let go of his sister-in-law and watched her go upstairs.

It seems that it is not so easy to get started again.

Xu Yuexin returned to the sofa and pondered.

At noon, Xu Yuexin called the hotel to order food and had lunch with his sister-in-law.

Hotels already have delivery services these days, but the prices are much more expensive than dine-in.

Xu Yuexin is becoming more and more lazy to cook now. Unless Chen Qiaoqiao comes home, he always orders take-out.

Salted duck, grilled oysters, sweet and sour pork ribs, and rice dumplings.

The total cost of three dishes and a soup with southern characteristics was 50 yuan.

“Come downstairs and have dinner.”

After the food was delivered, Xu Yuexin shouted to his sister-in-law who was still singing upstairs.

When she heard the word “dinner”, my sister-in-law immediately opened the door and went downstairs.

After practicing her voice for the whole morning upstairs, she was already starving.

Because of her experience in the morning, the sister-in-law did not talk to Xu Yuexin after coming downstairs, but sat down at the table and started eating directly.

“Tuk-tuk.”

Seeing his sister-in-law’s expression, Xu Yuexin gently touched the table with his hand, “You ate my meal and didn’t even say thank you?”

“I don’t have to eat.”

The sister-in-law put down her chopsticks with a “pop” and raised her face.

“If you don’t want to eat it, then don’t eat it.”

Xu Yuexin didn’t care at all and just buried his head in his food, eating with big mouthfuls.

My sister-in-law walked to the coffee table, opened the biscuit jar and started eating biscuits.

By the time Xu Yuexin finished his meal, she had also eaten half of the bucket of biscuits.

……

In the evening, my sister-in-law started to act strangely.

I ate too many cookies and got mouth ulcers due to inflammation.

Xu Yuexin had no choice but to go out to buy medicine to clear her heat and detoxify.

“I told you not to eat lunch and eat so many cookies.”

He threw the medicine in front of his sister-in-law and said with disgust.

“It’s because you don’t give me food.”

The sister-in-law picked up the medicine and said angrily.

“Don’t speak so badly of me, I just want you to thank me.”

“Ah.”

The sister-in-law glanced at Xu Yuexin and poured hot water on her own.

After a while, Chen Qiaoqiao came home from overtime and wanted to go out for a run with Xu Yuexin.

“You run during the day and at night, your body won’t be able to handle it.”

Xu Yuexin asked doubtfully.

“It’s okay. The harder you run, the more you have to run.”

“I should also exercise more.”

Chen Qiaoqiao insisted.

Seeing this, Xu Yuexin no longer objected and went out with her to start a night run.

“Working overtime so late again today?”

Xu Yuexin asked Chen Qiaoqiao while jogging in the park.

“Yeah, there’s a lot to do during the start-up period.”

Chen Qiaoqiao nodded and said, “Everyone is very busy, I am considered good.”

“The deputy manager in charge of business and the section chief go out to visit people by bicycle every day, and they can travel for more than ten hours at a time.”

“Is the competition so fierce?”

“Of course. In the past two years, many local construction companies have been established. Take Shanghai for example. There are definitely more than 100 local state-owned construction companies, big and small.”

“They’re all competing for business.”

“The bonuses and performance of cadres and employees must be linked to the final business results.”

“Then among the deputy managers of the company, your salary should be the lowest?”

“Yes, the salary for those in charge of business will definitely be much higher, and my length of service is also short.”

“Several of the business section chiefs below me earn more than me.”

Speaking of this, Chen Qiaoqiao shook her head with regret.

“It’s okay, I’ll make it up to you.”

Xu Yuexin said with a smile.

“That’s different.”

Chen Qiaoqiao stopped and shook her head breathlessly, “My income is high now, so if…if your business doesn’t go well, I can still take over.”

“You can’t be the only one at home.”

“Makes sense.”

Xu Yuexin stopped in front of her, turned around and looked at her and said, “But don’t worry, there will never be any problems with my business.”

“That would be the best, of course.”

Chen Qiaoqiao nodded doubtfully.

Xu Yuexin’s business has been going very smoothly in the past two years.

She was a little worried because everything was going smoothly, always fearing that something might go wrong one day.

“Can’t run anymore?”

Xu Yuexin walked up to Chen Qiaoqiao, took out a napkin and lovingly wiped the sweat from her forehead, while asking.

“Take a break before running again.” Chen Qiaoqiao said, panting.

“Rumble…”

Before he finished speaking, a white light flashed across the sky, followed by thunder.

“It’s going to rain, go home quickly.”

Xu Yuexin took his wife’s hand and trotted out of the park with her.

When the two returned home, there was already lightning and thunder outside, and heavy rain was pouring down.

Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao took a shower respectively and drank two cups of hot water.

At this time, they saw Chen Yixiu walking out of her room, covering her cheeks with her hands and looking bitter.

“what happened?”

Chen Qiaoqiao looked at her sister with concern.

“I have a sore tooth.”

Chen Yixiu frowned and spoke in an unclear voice.

“Didn’t I buy you some medicine? Didn’t you take it?”

Xu Yuexin wondered.

“The medicine was so bitter that I vomited it out.”

Chen Yixiu avoided the gaze like a child who had made a mistake.

Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other’s eyes.

“How grown up you are.”

Chen Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but criticize softly, “Take the medicine quickly, the sooner you get better, the sooner you will stop feeling pain.”

“Uh-huh.”

The sister-in-law nodded in shame.

Xu Yuexin looked around the room.

He had heard that applying ice could relieve toothache.

But the problem was, where could he get ice so late at night?

Got it!

When his eyes passed the refrigerator, Xu Yuexin slapped his forehead and said.

He filled a glass with half a cup of water, then opened the refrigerator door and put the glass into the freezer.

In this way, my sister-in-law can apply ice to relieve the pain later.

In fact, there is some frozen ice in the refrigerator, but Xu Yuexin thinks it is not clean.

Toothache is not a disease, it hurts to death.

After a while, my sister-in-law was still leaning on the sofa in the living room, covering her cheek and crying in pain.

At this time, Xu Yuexin took out the frozen ice cubes from the refrigerator, took them to the kitchen, smashed them with a kitchen knife, put them in a bowl and brought them to his sister-in-law.

“Hold it.”

Xu Yuexin took out an oval ice cube the size of a plum and said to her, “Ice compress can relieve pain.”

My sister-in-law quickly took the ice and applied it, then she let out a “hiss” sound.

It was so cold that she couldn’t stand it.

But it was just as Xu Yuexin said, the pain in my teeth stopped immediately after the ice was applied.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Xu Yuexin looked at his sister-in-law with concern and said, “I’ll go get another cup.”

“This way, your tooth won’t hurt until the medicine takes effect.”

The sister-in-law nodded, Xu Yuexin was simply her lifesaver.

In this way, after Chen Qiaoqiao fell asleep, Xu Yuexin froze three cups of ice for his sister-in-law to relieve her from the toothache.

“I feel like the medicine is working.”

When Xu Yuexin took the third cup of ice cubes, his sister-in-law said to him, “You don’t need to freeze any more ice cubes.”

“alright.”

“Don’t do that again next time.”

Xu Yuexin put down the cup of ice cubes, put his hands on his hips and said unhappily, “Like a little kid.”

“know.”

The elder sister-in-law felt wronged and lowered her head in embarrassment, saying, “Thank you…”

The last two words “thank you” were spoken very softly, but Xu Yuexin still heard them.

“Thank you so much. Be nicer to me next time.”

Xu Yuexin sat next to his sister-in-law and whispered in her ear.

“Humph.”

The sister-in-law turned her head away and deliberately avoided looking at him.

Xu Yuexin did annoy her sometimes.

But when I’m nice to her, I’m really nice to her.

This made her feel hesitant and confused.

……

A few days later, Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao went out for a morning run, and Chen Yixiu took the initiative to join them.

Naturally, there was no reason for Chen Qiaoqiao to refuse her sister, so the original two-person run turned into a three-person run.

Chen Qiaoqiao was still exhausted and couldn’t continue running after a while.

Xu Yuexin and Chen Yixiu walked slowly with her until she was about to go to work.

Just like before, Xu Yuexin drove her there again.

“You send her there.”

Chen Yixue said to Xu Yuexin, “I’ll run for a while longer.”

“Okay, I’ll come find you in the park after I drop her off.”

After saying this, Xu Yuexin went back home with Chen Qiaoqiao, drove her to the company in his Mercedes-Benz, and then drove back to the park.

At this time, he saw that his sister-in-law was still running, and her pace had not even slowed down compared to before.

“You have such good stamina?”

Xu Yuexin couldn’t help but exclaimed in amazement, “I feel like I can run a marathon now.”

“of course.”

Chen Yixue chuckled and said, “Concerts require a lot of physical strength.”

Also.

After thinking about it, Xu Yuexin felt that it made sense.

Many big names in the arts and literature have outstanding physical strength, because whether it is filming a movie or holding a concert like my sister-in-law, it does require physical strength.

After running several laps in the park with my sister-in-law, we went home together to take a shower.

“Qiaoqiao, is she late for work today?”

After taking a shower, the sister-in-law, wearing a cool sleeveless dress, asked Xu Yuexin.

“No, I’m keeping track of time.”

Xu Yuexin’s eyes stayed on his sister-in-law and said, “You’ve been running for so long, are you hungry?”

“I’m a little hungry, but I still can’t eat.”

“I’m afraid my tooth will hurt again.”

“Okay, have you taken the medicine?”

“have eaten.”

When my sister-in-law mentioned this, she frowned again, “It’s really bitter.”

“This is called good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease, understand?”

Xu Yuexin curled his lips and said, “Since you can’t eat, then drink some porridge.”

“You always have to replenish your nutrition after running.”

After saying that, Xu Yuexin took his sister-in-law out and had a bowl of casserole porridge.

The side dishes of the casserole porridge were so delicious that my sister-in-law couldn’t help but eat a shrimp while drinking the porridge.

The consequence was that her tooth started to hurt again.

This time the pain happened on the street, and Xu Yuexin couldn’t give her ice on the spot.

He had no choice but to rush back home with his sister-in-law and freeze a cup of ice in the refrigerator.

“Tell me, how would you live without me?”

When his sister-in-law applied ice, Xu Yuexin looked at her pitiful appearance and couldn’t help laughing.

“How’s that going?”

The sister-in-law was a little puzzled.

“You can’t cook, you tend to spend money recklessly, and you act like a child.”

“Oh, and he’s very easy to deceive.”

“If this happened alone, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to survive long ago.”

“How am I so easy to deceive?”

The sister-in-law argued unconvinced.

“I fooled you.”

Xu Yuexin said frankly, “When you first met me, you probably didn’t expect that I had feelings for you.”

“…”

The sister-in-law was completely speechless.

What Xu Yuexin said made so much sense that she couldn’t refute it.

“That was because I was innocent and kind, and was deceived by your sunny appearance.”

After a long silence, the sister-in-law said angrily, “If you do this again, I will definitely stay away from you.”

“Oh, it’s just talk.”

“You can’t actually do that.”

Xu Yuexin said disapprovingly, “After all, it’s hard to find a man as handsome, generous and considerate as me.”
