Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Little Brother-in-law_1 Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Little Brother-in-law_1 Zhang Fengmei saw her son warm towards his sister in a way that was unprecedented, and her eyes reddened in happiness.
For so many years, Jiang Yang, apart from calling out to his dad and mom, would not call out to anyone else.
Now, he finally knows how to bond with his sister! In the future, when they, husband and wife, grow old and pass away, she could rest assured, leaving Jiang Yang under the care of Nan Fei.
As parents, it is inevitable to worry about the future of their children. The fear of growing old and not being able to care for their children nagged at them.
Zhuanzhuan looked at Nan Fei, who was holding some items, heading home alone, and softly said, “Sister, you’re doing better and better now.”
“Yes! Without your eldest sister, we’d still be lost, uncertain of how to get by!”
With kindness in her voice, Zhang Fengmei stated, “Before, we were poor and didn’t have the means. It must have been tough for you all. Now that life is getting better, you needn’t burden yourself with helping around the house. Focus on your studies and get into a good university.”
Zhuanzhuan, absent-mindedly watched her brother Jiang Yang running down the road, while listening to her mother’s words, unconsciously nodding her head.
From a distance, Nan Fei could recognize the excitement and eagerness in her brother’s voice.
She excitedly dropped what she was carrying, ran up to him, and crouched down to embrace Jiang Yang’s thin body.
“Jiang Yang, sister’s back!”
Nan Fei breathed in her brother’s familiar scent and felt his warmth. Her heart, lifted high with anxiety, finally settled down.
The brother was alive and well; the family was fine. Their parents weren’t deceased prematurely; there was no disastrous loss; everybody in the family was okay!
Nan Fei squeezed Jiang Yang’s cheek playfully and said with a smile, “Call me sister and let me hear it.”
With his clear and shiny eyes wide open, Jiang Yang looked puzzled at Nan Fei, seemingly not understanding what she was up to.
“You silly boy, call me sister!” Nan Fei’s heart melted with her brother’s innocent expression.
She liked to lovingly call her brother ‘silly boy’ – to her, it wasn’t an insult, but an affectionate nickname.
Because she knew, her brother was the cleverest.
He was too smart; his mental world was not on the same level as ordinary people, and therefore he was isolated by commoners.
Nan Fei felt a pang of heartache, her brother, being misunderstood by the world, had faced ridicule, disdain, and misunderstanding since he was a kid.
He must be lonely, right?
Blinking his eyes, Jiang Yang looked at Nan Fei in confusion before slowly saying, “Sister Nan Fei?”
“Yes, it’s your big sister!” she corrected, still smiling.
Nan Fei, left speechless, had to compromise, “Alright, if you want to call me Sister Nan Fei, I’ll be pleased to hear it!”
“Ha ha ha …” A pleasing smile appeared on Jiang Yang’s usually impassive face.
The handsome and fair-skinned boy became vivacious and lively due to this fleeting smile, no longer the usual dull and unresponsive self.
His change in demeanor induced a fit of laughter from Nan Fei.
The siblings stood on the road, laughing like fools.
Huo Beijiang, leaning against the car, looked at his radiant and smiling little wife squatting on the road, and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
His little wife never laughed at him like that!
Having a brother-in-law was indeed troublesome at times!
Something must be done! He couldn’t let the brother-in-law monopolize his wife’s attention.
