A New Dawn for the Whitlocks Chapter 38

Xiu'er came out of the gate of Yilang's business and saw a carriage parked at the door. She was just wondering when Shengzi stuck his head out of the carriage and said, "Second aunt, get in the car quickly!" Xiu'er agreed and got in the car with some doubts. She saw Nawen sitting inside and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Nawen said, "My mother was afraid that something might happen to you on the road in such a weather." Xiu'er asked Shengzi, "Shengzi, are you cold?" Shengzi said, "Of course I'm cold. You never come out. I want to get in, but my mother won't let me." Nawen said, "My mother is afraid that you can't stand the heat if you get in." Xiu'er said, "Yes, the heater they burn is hotter than our stove." Nawen said, "I know, otherwise your face would be flushed, Like a hen that just opened a shop." Xiu'er said guiltily: "Sister-in-law, you just went in?" Nawen said: "Nonsense, how can you know how lively it is if you don't go in?" Shengzi asked Xiu'er: "Second Aunt, what's the excitement?" Xiu'er gently hugged Shengzi and said: "Nothing." Nawen pulled Shengzi over: "Sit by your mother, don't bother your second aunt." Xiu'er was a little scared and whispered: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, let's go home and talk in private?" Nawen said with a cold face: "Okay, after dinner, you can wait in the house." Xiu'er's heart was beating, but she didn't know what to say. She only heard the carriage driving in the snow, and the jingling of horse bells was particularly harsh.

After dinner, Na Wen saw that there was no one in Xiu'er's room, so he came in, lowered his voice, and said straight to the point: "I think you are crazy! You are possessed by evil spirits! How are you going to explain to our father, mother, and Ethan Whitlock?" Xiu'er said: "What to explain?" Na Wen said: "What else to explain? Explain the good things between you and Yilang." Xiu'er argued: "There is nothing between Yilang and me!" Na Wen said: "Oh my God! You stretched your neck, but my sister-in-law has been pinching her throat and whispering to you. Well, if you are not afraid that our family will know, let's open the door and talk." Xiu'er said angrily: "Open it if you want."

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Na Wen whispered, "Well, retribution in this life! Go open the door, open it." Xiu'er was silent. Na Wen said, "Sister-in-law is advising you for your own good. As long as you change, my mouth will be sealed, and you will never tell this story until you die!" Yu Shu said from outside the door, "Second sister-in-law, are you in the room?"

Xiuer opened the door and let Yushu in. Yushu saw that the two looked unhappy, as if they had just had a quarrel, and said, "Second sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Nawen wanted to change the subject and said, "Yushu, what are you doing here?" Yushu nodded and said to Xiuer, "Second sister-in-law, didn't you ask me for lyrics that day?" Nawen asked, "What lyrics?" Xiuer said, "That day, I heard a good song at Yushu's school." Yushu said, "I copied it down."

Na Wen went to lock the door again. Yu Shu became even more suspicious and said, "Sister-in-law, what happened to you?" Na Wen looked at Xiu'er and said, "Xiu'er, can you please tell Yu Shu?" Xiu'er turned to Yu Shu and said somewhat frustratedly, "I and Yilang are in a relationship and sister-in-law caught us." Yu Shu hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, are you alone?" Na Wen said, "Why, you want to show off such an embarrassing thing on the street?" Yu Shu said earnestly, "Sister-in-law, let's keep this a secret for Xiu'er!" Na Wen cried out, "What? Hide it! They have been having an affair for a long time and you know about it, right?" Yu Shu said, "You are right, sister-in-law. , they got together after Yilang came for the second time, but they broke up for a while in between." Nawen said: "Yushu, Xiu'er is crazy, are you crazy too! Let's not talk about how to explain to Ethan Whitlock and our parents; as a woman, a woman with a family, can you do such a thing?" Yushu said: "Sister-in-law, the reason is very simple. Ethan Whitlock doesn't love Xiu'er, why can't Xiu'er love someone else?" Nawen said: "I won't talk to you about love or not. Xiu'er, listen carefully, if a woman does such a thing and it gets out, the spit of the neighbors will drown you! Even if you wear Ten layers of armor, the fingers of people in the world can pierce it!" Xiu'er raised her face and said: "It's enough to die!" Yushu said: "It's better than having no love." Nawen said: "Yushu, everyone can speak lightly, why don't you go and learn Xiu'er behind Caleb Whitlock's back?" Yushu said: "Caleb Whitlock loves me, and I love Caleb Whitlock too." Nawen said: "Okay, I won't argue with you, you two are in the same boat! I also followed up on what Xiu'er said, do you think that death will solve all problems? Once you go to hell, you still have to pass three levels: push the mill for three years, climb five knife mountains, and finally saw you in half and throw you into the oil. Frying in the pot, this is not over yet, there is also the next life, do you know what you will be reborn as in the next life..." Yushu interrupted her: "Okay, sister-in-law, stop talking about these nonsense! These are all nonsense made up by feudal society to oppress women." Nawen said: "What nonsense? Let me tell you, when in the palace, which of those cheating women had a good ending?" Yushu said: "Sister-in-law, can we not talk about the palace? Let's talk about the second sister-in-law of Siweilou now." Nawen said: "Okay, you tell me, I don't believe you can tell a bright and shining truth that will convince sister-in-law!"
