Daily Life in the 70s-Chapter 71 - Younger Sister-in-law

But facing his sister’s questioning, Yang PeiMin pursed her lips and turned her face away, he knew she was angry.

Glancing at his sister bristling with anger, Shen Yiguang’s face darkened, “Yixiang, why didn’t you knock before entering?

Where are your manners?”

Shen Yixiang looked at him incredulously, stomped her foot, and said with grievance, “This isn’t someone else’s room, why should I knock?”

As she said this, another flash of realization passed through her mind, and she asked angrily, “Were you, were you just doing something indecent?”

“Shen Yixiang!” Shen Yiguang’s face turned completely dark, “Stop talking nonsense, or get out!”

“What’s the matter?” Shen Yixia hurried in from outside after hearing the commotion, took in the scene, and seeing her brother’s rare angry expression, she was momentarily stunned.

Turning to look at Shen Yixiang, she saw her sister’s eyes were red with grievance, knowing it must have been this little sister who caused trouble.

“Yiguang, they’ve already started out there, we should go, if there’s anything, we can talk after sending the guests off,” she advised.

“Second sister, you don’t know what they…”

“Shut up!”

Shen Yixia hastily grabbed Shen Yixiang, “Alright, we’ll talk about it later, the relatives outside are waiting.”

Shen Yixiang broke free from her and ran out.

“Yixiang!

That child!” Shen Yixia watched her back with a headache.

“Second sister, what’s going on?

Why did Yixiang run out?

She looks very sad, did you scold her?” Shen Yidong also squeezed in, talking to Shen Yixia, but his gaze remained fixed on Yang PeiMin.

Shen Yiguang, with a stern face, said, “We’ll talk about this later, let’s go outside.”

Yang PeiMin felt her anger bubbling up, on the verge of erupting.

She couldn’t smile while being figuratively pointed at and scolded.

Shen Yiguang added some heat to the already cooled water, walked over to Yang PeiMin, and handed her the water, speaking softly, “Here’s your water, you haven’t drunk it yet.

Don’t be angry, I’ll talk to her later.”

Yang PeiMin glared at him – it was all his fault, the instigator!

But she did take the water.

She was really thirsty and drank half a jar of water in one go, only then did she feel the heat on her face subsiding a bit.

Now wasn’t the time to drop the task at hand; she would have to settle accounts later.

After she finished her job, Yang PeiMin’s anger subsided somewhat.

But Shen Yidong seemed slightly displeased.

Looking at Yang PeiMin with a half-smile, she said, “Are you alright now, sister-in-law?

All the relatives are waiting for you.

Now is not the time to be willful.

Have you ever seen a bride throw a tantrum on her first day?

Otherwise, she might get a…”

“Fourth sister!” Shen Yiguang gave her a cold glance.

Shen Yidong did shut up, but her face still showed reluctance as she turned to Shen Yixia, “Second sister, look at our brother.

Now that he’s taken a wife, he’s forgotten all about us sisters.”

“Enough already, just stop talking,” Shen Yixia glared at her irritably.

Couldn’t this sister see that their brother was already looking annoyed?

She had noticed it a bit; this new sister-in-law was someone her brother was quite fond of and protective over.

It would be better if these trivial things didn’t lead to any estrangement.

So, she smiled at Yang PeiMin, trying to be considerate of her feelings, “Sister-in-law, don’t be angry.

They always joke around like this, without any sense of propriety.

You’ll get used to it after you’ve been around a while.”

Shen Yixia was especially considerate of her feelings, and Yang PeiMin was grateful.

She smiled, “It’s fine.

Let’s go out so we don’t keep everyone waiting too long.”

“Alright, sure, let’s go.”

Shen Yiguang watched Yang PeiMin with a smile, his eyes brimming with praise.

Yang PeiMin walked past him without giving him a sidewards glance.

Shen Yiguang touched his nose and shook his head with a wry smile, then followed her with quick strides.

The part where you recognize relatives is just about offering tea.

You present a cup of tea to the friends and family, and then the second sister introduces them.

After that, you follow up with a greeting, and that’s the end of it.

When they got to Zhao ManCang’s table, Yang PeiMin saw that half of the people there were inexplicably smiling at Shen Yiguang.

Zhao ManCang was the first to speak, “Of all the brothers, I only admire Yiguang.

Look at him, there’s nothing he can’t handle.”

Then someone chimed in, “Exactly, at first we blamed ourselves for meddling, but you, brother, weren’t being fair, keeping it so close to the chest!”

“Today he has to drink a whole vat, this kid was so silent about it, and just like that, he got the wedding done in the blink of an eye.”

“You’re right!

He has to drink the matchmaker’s toast today.”

Yang PeiMin finally understood what they were talking about.

These gossiping men!

They were still bringing up the last time they bluntly tried to set them up!

She turned her face and glanced sideways at Shen Yiguang.

Shen Yiguang winked at her, his lips curving upwards, then turned to the table of people and sneered, “Buzz off, it’s none of your business who I marry.

We’ve known each other for a long time, so don’t go attaching your glory to my face.”

His words instantly fired everyone up at the table, but since it was Yang PeiMin’s turn to serve tea, they couldn’t drink alcohol yet, so they just watched with envy.

Yang PeiMin couldn’t help but laugh.

Shen Yiguang, however, frowned, because when Yang PeiMin laughed, she was as dazzling as blossoming flowers, mesmerizing everyone.

He noticed several young men watching his wife a little too intensely.

His piercing gaze swept over them, discouraging most of them.

Shen Yiguang didn’t need his sister’s help anymore, and quickly introduced the table of people to Yang PeiMin himself.

Without even bothering with the tea, he took her and left.

The people at the table were left shouting in annoyance, “Look at how stingy he is!”

“Yeah, really stingy!

He didn’t even offer us a sip of tea!”

Then someone got slapped by a buddy, “Are you out of your mind?”

The recognition of the six tables of relatives and friends was quickly completed, and since there was nothing else for her to do, Yang PeiMin went back to the bridal chamber.

Shen Yiguang stayed back to continue entertaining them and, from what I heard, was about to be forced to drink.

Pan Shuiqin then followed, giggling.

Yang PeiMin knew what she was laughing at and rolled her eyes at her, “Okay, cousin, if you’re done laughing, that’s enough.”

“How could I?” she said, looking around the bridal chamber.

“Your room is really nice, not only spacious but also bright.

The Shen family has one of the best houses in our village.”

Yang PeiMin invited her to sit down, “Would you like some tea?” But she couldn’t find any cups.

Pan Shuiqin waved her off, with a wink, “Didn’t we just have some?

I’ve come to save you today; those people were actually planning to ‘play tricks’ in the bridal chamber.”

Yang PeiMin was genuinely alarmed, images of those bizarre bridal chamber pranks reported in past news flashing through her mind.
