My 1991.

Chapter 571, Brother-in-law

The next day, Lu An and Meng Qingchi returned to Shao City.

The two did not rush back to their hometown in Qianzhen, but stayed at Meng's house for a day.

It was the end of the year, Li Meng and Meng Zhenhai were both busy and not at home. Meng Wenjie also had a public office and was still in Hui County. Only my sister-in-law and Qingshui were at home. When Lu An and Meng Qingchi entered the house, the two women were playing with their 3-year-old child on the sofa.

"Sister, sister, brother-in-law."

Seeing Lu An and Meng Qingchi, Meng Qingshui stood up and addressed them like that, but there was a pause in the middle when he called Lu An.

The sister-in-law looked at her younger sister and always felt that such shouting was a bit strange. After all, they were lovers once, but now he has become her brother-in-law. It didn't feel right no matter how she looked at it. No wonder Wenjie was so opposed to Xiaoan and Qingchi being together.

Meng Qingchi responded as usual, and then started chatting with his sister and sister-in-law.

Lu An didn't say anything, just smiled, then took out the toys he had specially prepared and teased Wenjie's child. However, he kept his ears perked up as he listened to the three girls talking with boredom.

Li Meng was very busy today. When she learned that her eldest daughter and son-in-law had returned, she took some time to go home, but she left again after not staying for long. Lunch was prepared by her sister-in-law.

Before leaving, Li Meng asked Lu An: "Are you going to spend the New Year in Shao City this year, or go back to your hometown?"

What she meant was: Are you going to spend the New Year at Meng's this year? If you are going to spend the New Year at Meng's, then you won't go back to Qianzhen.

Before Lu An could reply, Meng Qingchi interrupted, "Mom, Xiao An and my younger sister and I have already agreed to go back to Shangcun to celebrate the New Year this year."

Hearing this, Li Meng was not surprised. After all, her daughter was already married, and it was natural for her to spend the New Year at the Lu family. She didn't think much about it, just nodded and went back to the hospital.

Li Meng had no doubts, but Meng Qingshui, who knew the truth, was not so easily fooled. She took the opportunity to ask Lu An alone, "Didn't Sister Yu come back with you?"

Lu An said: "The baby is not even a month old yet, and Shao City is cold, so it's not very convenient."

Meng Qingshui had taken all this into consideration. He just asked casually to find a topic to talk to him alone. He looked at him for a while and asked with a complicated expression, "Where are you spending the New Year this year?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from her, Lu An said frankly: "Shanghai."

Meng Qingshui asked: "Have you discussed this with your sister?"

Luan nodded, "I've already said that."

After hearing this, Meng Qingshui felt very upset. After a long while, he continued, "Sister's due date is at the end of the first month, which is about a month away. You will have three children next year. Where will you celebrate the New Year?"

Lu An felt that her expression was becoming increasingly strange. After a moment of silence, he walked over and hugged her without answering her question.

This hug was like lighting a powder keg. Meng Qingshui suddenly reached out and hugged him back. Not only that, she shrank into his arms, buried her head in his neck, and cried silently, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Perhaps feeling that the occasion was not right, Meng Qingshui did not pester him for too long. About 5 minutes later, she left his arms, then stood on tiptoe, kissed the corner of his mouth under his gaze, then turned and left the second floor.

In fact, when Meng Qingshui followed Lu An to the second floor, Meng Qingchi and his sister-in-law in the yard noticed it, but the two of them had a tacit understanding and pretended not to know anything.

Even my sister-in-law, who originally wanted to go to the second-floor bedroom to get the duck stuffed toy, didn't dare to enter the house, and instead tried to coax the crying little kid.

Seeing the clear water coming down, the sister-in-law subconsciously glanced at the watch on her right wrist: the little sister has been up there for 7 minutes, so there should be nothing wrong with Luan.

It’s not her fault for being sensitive, but her woman’s intuition tells her that her younger sister’s feelings for Luan should not have completely faded.

Meng Qingchi, who knew the truth, was much calmer. He touched his belly with his right hand and said to his younger sister and sister-in-law with a smile, "The baby in my belly is too naughty. It's kicking me again, one on the left and one on the right. I feel like my belly is about to burst."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three girls' attention was diverted. They all looked at Meng Qingchi's belly with great interest. The left side bulged from time to time, and the same was true for the right side. It seemed that it was not easy to have twins, a boy and a girl, but it was also quite fun.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu An said to Meng Qingchi, who had just taken a nap, "Sister Qingchi, I will be back to Qianzhen tomorrow. I want to go to Guifei Lane. Do you want to go with me?"

Meng Qingchi glanced at him and lay still, "I don't want to move anymore. Go ahead and come back in the evening."

Neither of them mentioned Ye Run, but they kept talking about Ye Run. Meng Qingchi herself was a Buddhist person. From the moment she agreed to be Xiao An's wife, she had already taken all these tedious matters into consideration. She did not feel jealous at the last minute, but just set a bottom line for him: he had to come back tonight and was not allowed to stay overnight at the Ye family.

In fact, this bottom line is meaningless. Lu An can't stay at Ye's house at this moment, and Meng Qingchi believes him. The reason why he brought it up is just to reduce the pressure of the tense atmosphere that is almost suffocating, and to give a reminder.

The more tolerant and doting Sister Qingchi was on him, the more guilty Lu An felt. But Ye Run was no one else but his concubine in his previous life. Now the New Year was approaching, and he couldn't hide away and not show up. Otherwise, what would Hu Yue and her daughter, who had already accepted him, think?
Thinking of this, Lu An gently held Sister Qingchi's hand and left.

Watching his back as he left the bedroom, Meng Qingchi pondered for a while, then turned over and fell asleep again.

When I walked into the yard, I bumped into Meng Qingshui who was about to go out, and Wu Yu was with her. I don't know when Wu Yu came?
Lu An looked at the two of them and asked, "Where are you going?"

Meng Qingshui said: "Go to Shuting's house, today is her 21st birthday."

Lu An was stunned for a moment before he remembered who Li Shuting was. "You guys are in touch again?"

Meng Qingshui nodded with a smile.

After watching him walk away, Wu Yu, who had been silent just now, asked in a low voice: "Qingshui, were Lu An and Sister Li taking a nap just now?"

Hearing this, Meng Qingshui's face fell, but he admitted it.

"Ugh!"

The two were close friends who could talk about anything. Wu Yu sighed and said, "I never thought that he would become your brother-in-law. Time flies so fast, and your sister is actually pregnant with Lu An's child."

Meng Qingshui looked at the ground and said nothing.

Wu Yu nudged her and asked in a veiled tone, "Hey, do you still like your brother-in-law?"

Meng Qingshui reached out and pinched his friend.

Seeing that he had guessed correctly, Wu Yu held her arm and asked worriedly, "What will you do in the future? He is your brother-in-law. You can always see him no matter how you look up or down. Aren't you afraid that your defense will be broken one day?"

Meng Qingshui raised his head, looked at the sky and said in confusion: "I don't know either."

"Ugh!"

Wu Yu sighed again. The two of them had been studying together since elementary school. They had been together for so long that they knew each other very well. She knew that Qingshui was particularly unwilling to accept this, but she was even more afraid that Qingshui would lose control of herself and go astray one day.

If that day really came, what would she, as a close friend, do? Advise? Or help keep it a secret?

The Meng family’s house is right next to the Municipal People’s Hospital, not far from Guifei Lane, and it only takes less than 20 minutes to walk there.

This time he did not go into house number 8, but went straight to house number 12 at the back to buy some gifts.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Who?"

"Comrade Ye Run, it's me."

"Ah! What a rare guest! When did you come back?"

After opening the door, Ye Run rolled his bright eyes and asked in a sarcastic tone.

Luan rolled his eyes, closed the door, and pushed her against the wall for a kiss.

Ye Run was startled and quickly covered his mouth with her hands. She widened her eyes and said in a suppressed voice, "Are you crazy? Mom is in the kitchen."

Lu An was surprised: "Aunt Yue is at home?"

Ye Run said angrily, "It's almost the New Year, I'm at home, where can mom go?"

Just then, Hu Yue, who heard some noise outside, walked out of the kitchen. She took only two steps and then froze on the spot. Two seconds later, she came to her senses and seemed not to have seen her daughter and Xiao An being so close together. She returned to the kitchen without saying a word.

Seeing this, Ye Run gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "You are a bastard! I can't wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River."

Luan blinked: "Why do you want to wash? You are my wife anyway, what's wrong with us being intimate? Did you see what we said?"

He is a veteran and changed his tune at the right time.

As he said that, he let go of her and walked towards the kitchen.

Ye Run followed behind him and kicked him in the thigh out of anger.
