Judging from her appearance and drive, she's probably in her early thirties at most.

142. Don't you dare make a move on my sister-in-law.

“She looks so much like He Hongyang’s wife, is she his sister-in-law? Why didn’t you introduce her to us?”

"She's here to take care of the He family's children, right? I heard He Hongyang even found her a good job."

"Why haven't I seen her husband? Is she divorced or has he left? I think it would be most suitable to introduce her to Master Lin from our factory."

"Master Lin is the factory's truck driver, is he capable?"

"Don't forget, she also has a job. She's so pretty, she's not much different from the girls in their twenties at the factory."

"Besides, older women know how to cherish men. They've experienced more and know how to manage a household. Unlike those young girls who only know how to be coquettish and spend money all day. I already have a wife, but if I didn't, I would marry her."

"What are you talking about? She's not He Hongyang's sister-in-law, she's his mother-in-law. Besides, she has a husband. Don't talk nonsense and try to set people up here!"

what?

Mother-in-law?

In other words, she must be at least 40 years old.

I have never seen a 40-year-old woman with such a great figure and such a great condition.

She got to work as soon as she arrived, unlike other women who chattered on and on.

She didn't use her son-in-law's abilities to show off her power here.

Where did He Hongyang find this family?

My wife is obedient and well-behaved; every day, besides going to work, she stays home to take care of him!

Now we have a mother-in-law who's capable but does very little work!

Not only is he low-key, but he is also clean and efficient.

They can do the work of two people.

The more I look at her, the more I feel she shouldn't be the mother-in-law, but rather the sister-in-law.

He pulled He Hongyang aside and asked, "Dr. He, is this woman really your mother-in-law?"

"Yes."

"Does she really still have a man?"

"Yes."

“Why don’t you tell her to divorce her husband? We can introduce her to Mr. Lin from our factory’s driver team. Mr. Lin probably earns 40 yuan a month and has two rooms at home.”

"What are you thinking? You all better eat your food properly and don't you dare try anything with my mother-in-law!"

"Haha, okay, okay, we'll listen to you and won't make a move on your mother-in-law. I wonder if your mother-in-law has any other sisters besides your wife and her sister?"

"My wife has five sisters in total."

When I heard him say that.

Everyone stopped eating and drinking, and stared at him with wide eyes.

"Tell me quickly, how old are you? Are you as good-looking as your wife and mother-in-law?"

"If you have a sister-in-law, there are plenty of young men in our factory."

"If you have a sister-in-law, there are plenty of able-bodied men in our factory."

"Any woman from the Wang family is bound to be the best in both looks and character!"

He Hongyang patted their heads and said, "My wife is the eldest sister, and she has several younger sisters. They're only fourteen or fifteen years old. Do you think you can make a move on them?"

These people were still unwilling to give up and said anxiously, "Then let's wait two years until they grow up before introducing them to us."

"Let alone waiting two years, if we could marry a woman from the Wang family, we would be willing to wait a few more years."

"Dream on! They're all back in their hometowns right now. Even if they came to Sijiucheng, they wouldn't let you guys have a chance!"

Li Huaide came over with a wine glass: "What are you talking about? You seem to be having a great time."

"These guys are after my sister-in-law."

"Haha, when He Hongyang's sister-in-law looks for a partner, she will definitely look for someone who meets her brother-in-law's standards. You should first see if you can compare to He Hongyang before you talk about whether you are good enough for his sister-in-law."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, the group of young people who had been full of enthusiasm just moments before all drooped their heads.

Who can compare to He Hongyang?

Putting aside his abilities, the full-month celebration he held for his daughter today is something that most people can't compare to.

Some of you here are married, and some are not.

Very few people are capable of handling such a large-scale event.

Even Li Huaide only held a banquet with seven or eight tables when his son turned one month old.

He Hongyang, however, hosted a total of more than a dozen tables.

After this full moon celebration, his focus on his daughter will become a well-known story in the factory.

After finishing the drinks and the food, and seeing all the guests off.

He Hongyang decided to take his whole family to a photo studio.

They haven't had their picture taken in many years.

Sha Zhu thought he was taking a full-month photo of his child and packed up the remaining food.

"Brother, I'll head back now."

"How can you go back? You have to come with us to take pictures."

"But I am just an uncle."

“Uncle, what’s wrong? It’s not just you who’s going. Yushui and Lizhen, our whole family is going too. I’m not only going to take a full-month photo of the baby, but also a family photo. Then you can each have a solo photo.”

"That would cost a lot of money. I've never had my picture taken except when I was a child."

"Don't worry about how much money it costs. We're happy today. From now on, you're my uncle, an elder in the family. We're all one family, and whatever happens in this family, you'll have to share the responsibility!"

Patting Sha Zhu on the shoulder, he said, "You've worked hard today. On behalf of Wen Nuan, I thank you, your uncle. When she grows up, I will tell her that all the dishes for her one-month celebration were cooked by her uncle. She should take good care of her uncle in the future."

Sha Zhu's nose tingled, and he almost burst into tears.

Ever since his older brother's mother-in-law came, he's always felt that they're the real family.

After all, my older brother is married; he has a wife, a daughter, and a mother-in-law.

My sister and I are like two burdens, always getting in the way of other people.

He worked incredibly hard today.

I just wanted to be able to help my older brother share some of the burden.

And all of this was what he was supposed to do.

893964

I never expected my older brother to praise him in front of the whole family.

89 (3) 勼 (6) 4 (4) 6 Ling

It seems he saw through my thoughts.

That's why I said those words!

I was overthinking things before. I was being petty and thought that since my older brother had his own family, he wouldn't care about us siblings anymore.

It seems that even though the eldest brother has his own family now, he hasn't forgotten the He family, this great family of nine!

He is still the head of the family.

He was fulfilling his responsibilities as the eldest son.

"Big brother, I understand. I was wrong before, I..."

"I'll say it again: we're family, no need for formalities. Even if your sister-in-law only gave me one daughter now, or even if she gives me ten daughters in the future, we'll still be family."

"You uncle and Aunt Yushui, don't forget that when your sister-in-law gives birth to your niece, you must behave just as well as you did today."

Hear him say that.

Everyone burst out laughing.

Sha Zhu patted his chest and guaranteed, "I guarantee I'll be ready to obey your orders at any time, Big Brother."

He Yushui stepped forward and said, "If my sister-in-law can give birth to ten little nieces, then I will help you take care of the children every day after school."

When Wang Liying heard what the He siblings said...

She shyly tugged at He Hongyang and said, "Brother Hongyang, what are you saying? What do you mean by ten little nieces? Don't you want a son?"

“I want both sons and daughters, but compared to sons, daughters are always better. My mother-in-law has five daughters, so you have to have more than her. We should have at least ten or eight more.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ailing realized he was talking about her again and lowered her head shyly.

"Hongyang, have you had too much to drink today?"

He Hongyang was indeed drunk, but he was drunk in a happy way.

He held Wang Liying's hand with one hand and He Yushui's hand with the other.

"Let's go take a family photo!"

First aunt, second aunt, third aunt, Jia Zhangshi.

Like four door gods, they stood on either side of the courtyard, constantly tucked in and waiting.

The He family went out in the morning and didn't return by noon. It was already afternoon and still no one had come back.

They were so anxious and flustered.

What are the He family up to?

Could they have gone to a restaurant?

Even when going out to eat, you don't need to bring the whole family.

They will also leave Wang Liying and her child at home.

Did they go to visit relatives?

Wang Liying's family is from another province, and the He family doesn't have many relatives in Beijing.

After everyone finished eating, they sat in the front yard guessing games endlessly.

The final consensus was that...

No matter what they're doing, when they come back today, we must find out exactly when their family is holding their full-month celebration.

"Why aren't you back yet? It's almost time to make dinner. Should we make dinner or not?"

"Will there be a full moon celebration tomorrow? If so, then we might as well skip dinner."

“The He family hasn’t prepared anything, not even vegetables. I don’t think we can hold the event tomorrow.”

"According to the date, their child will be one month old tomorrow."

"The full moon celebration is not held on the same day. It is either held a day in advance or a day later. In other words, it is either held today or the day after tomorrow."

"According to you, we should eat tonight, but not tomorrow night?"

"Why are you asking me? It's not like it's my family's business."

"I'm just so anxious. I've been so worried these past two days that I've even got blisters on my lips. Do you think He Hongyang would have done it behind our backs?"

"Impossible. Do you think it's so easy to hold a banquet? First of all, the venue is the most spacious place in our courtyard. Secondly, the manpower is not enough for just a few people in their family to hold a full moon celebration. They would need the help of the people in the courtyard."

"Hearing you say that, I can finally put my mind at ease. These past few days I've only been eating half-full, waiting to have a big meal at his house."

"I wonder what we'll be eating. Will there be braised pork knuckle and fried meatballs?"

Hearing what the third aunt said, everyone's stomachs started growling.

"GuluGulu——"
