Chapter 231: Will You Be My Sister-in-Law?

"Brother, Mom and Dad are showing off their affection again!" Jiang Siyu stood with her hands on her hips; the thirteen-year-old girl was already graceful and slender, though she still retained the baby fat of her childhood!

The boy pulled the hood of her hoodie down to cover her head, his voice sounding a bit hoarse from the changing phase, "Still watching! You'll get styes in your eyes if you keep looking!"

"Jiang! Si! Nian! Why are you so annoying!" Her freshly braided hair was messed up, and Jiang Siyu stomped her feet in anger.

She ate a few hurried bites of breakfast, then shouldered her schoolbag, ready to head to school.

Upon reaching the door, she habitually called out, "Sister Yueyue!"

A girl with a high ponytail ran out, a piece of bread hanging from her mouth.

"Where's Jiang Sinian?" Jiang Yue rode her bicycle and glanced into the Jiang Family courtyard.

"Let's not wait for him!" Jiang Siyu jumped onto the back seat of Jiang Yue's bicycle, "Let's go quickly!"

But Jiang Yue still waited until Jiang Sinian rode his bike out before she started pedaling.

"Jiang Yue, did you finish your homework yesterday?" Jiang Sinian asked.

The boy blew at the slightly damp bangs on his forehead, looking as spirited as a boy who had walked right out of a manga.

"I finished it."

Jiang Sinian said, accustomed to this, "Then let me copy it when we get to school!"

"You didn't do your homework again!" Jiang Yue frowned, "We'll be in the second year of middle school next year; if you keep this up, you won't be able to keep up with your studies..."

"Not listening, not listening, like a turtle chanting sutras!" Jiang Sinian stood up and pedaled hard a few times, "Jiang Yue, sometimes I think you're like my mom!"

Jiang Yue:...

Jiang Siyu wrapped her arms around Jiang Yue's waist, "Don't pay attention to him, and don't lend him your homework to copy later, let the teacher punish him!"

Jiang Yue:...

"Are you two really biological siblings? I have my doubts."

Jiang Siyu smiled until her eyes narrowed, "If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be his sister at all! He's super annoying!"

"By the way, Sister Yueyue, do you like my brother?" Jiang Siyu asked, leaning against her back.

The bicycle wobbled violently, and Jiang Siyu almost fell off the back seat.

"Don't talk nonsense!" The current Jiang Yue was no longer the little girl who used to call Si Rong 'Grandma' directly; she would feel shy because of such teasing.

"How is it nonsense! You clearly like my brother!" Jiang Siyu was very precocious; because she witnessed her parents' affection every day, love was something beautiful and sacred in her eyes, "Yueyue, be my sister-in-law in the future! I like you."

Jiang Yue didn't take her bait, only facing the morning breeze as her young face slowly turned pink.

"I'll let you copy homework! I'll let you copy homework!"

Si Rong held a ruler in her hand, striking Jiang Sinian's palm one blow after another.

The boy was puzzled; how did his mom know he had copied Jiang Yue's homework?

Could it be that the little pest Jiang Siyu had snitched?

In the intervals between being beaten, he didn't forget to find time to glare at his little sister.

It was one thing for her not to let him copy, but she actually snitched!

"Look for yourself!" Si Rong threw the notebook directly onto his head, "Copying is one thing, but you even copied the essay! Is your mother named Fang Ting?"

Jiang Sinian:...

Huh? He hadn't slept well last night and was groggy, he'd copied the wrong one.

"Mom, I was wrong, please don't be angry, next time I will definitely finish my homework before skipping class." Jiang Sinian promised.

Si Rong:...

"Brother, finishing your homework after school isn't called skipping class, it's called after school." Jiang Siyu helpfully reminded him.

"Get lost!" Jiang Sinian had just finished cursing when he received another Iron Sand Palm from his mother.

"Tell who to get lost?" The more Si Rong looked at this son, the angrier she became, "You still know you're a brother? Your sister and Sister Yueyue go to and from school every day and finish their homework on time; why don't you know how to learn from them?"

After scolding her son, Si Rong felt a bit tired and sat down on a chair.

She was already fifty-two years old this year, and she was almost unable to beat this troublemaker anymore.

Jiang Cheng returned from work, saw this scene, hung his coat on the coat rack, and began to coax his wife.

"Wife, don't be angry because of this brat."

Jiang Cheng gave his son a fake kick in the butt, "Get out and write!"

Jiang Sinian took the opportunity to roll on the ground, then obediently picked up his notebook and went to the courtyard.

Heh~ men.

They only know these sweet-talking little tricks to coax their wives.

He wondered how his old man ever became a Commander, acting like an honest man who laughs all the time in front of his mom.

Look, he's spoiled his wife to such an extent.

If he ever gets a wife in the future, he absolutely cannot be like this; he must uphold the husband's authority of their Jiang Family.

"Brother, Dad seems to be taking Mom out for hot pot later, and they're discussing not taking us."

The little foodie Jiang Siyu leaned over to leak the secret.

Jiang Sinian raised an eyebrow and crooked his finger at his little sister, "Later we will..."

"Jiang Sinian! You stay home and write your homework properly. Look at how your mom's chest is tight from anger; I'm taking her to see a doctor now. Juzi, you stay home and supervise your brother!"

Jiang Cheng coldly lectured his son, then pulled his wife into the car.

They headed straight for the hot pot restaurant.

"Wife, let's have a good meal today; it wasn't easy to shake off those two little tails."

Jiang Cheng knew his wife's mood would be better if she ate hot pot.

"Hmm," not having to see the little monkeys at home, Si Rong's mood did indeed ease a bit.

The two of them arrived at the hot pot restaurant, ordered their food, and began chatting about trivial matters.

"By the way, Mom said she wants to celebrate Dad's eightieth birthday early."

Si Rong remembered this and discussed it with Jiang Cheng, "What would be good for us to give Dad?"

Aside from receiving some education during that special era in his youth, Father Si had lived a life of abundance and lacked for nothing.

"There is an auction in the city tomorrow," Jiang Cheng suggested, "Dad usually likes poetry, books, and ancient texts, so why don't we go see if there is anything suitable?"

Eighty is considered a major birthday, and the old man usually doesn't like for them to spend money unnecessarily.

Still, one must carefully select a gift for it to be appropriate.

"A world for two?"

Ming Zi and Xue Ming suddenly appeared behind them, "How come you two are so quick today, and didn't bring those two little ones?"

"Sit," Si Rong pointed to the seat beside her, "They are at home catching up on homework; I was so furious after being called to the school by his teacher today that I didn't want to let him eat dinner."

Ming Zi laughed and sat down beside her, "My granddaughter was also picked up by her parents today; it is truly rare for us to be this relaxed! Eat freely, it's my treat!"

The four of them sat opposite each other and even had the waiter bring some beer.

Jiang Cheng and Xue Ming chatted about matters in the military, while Si Rong and Ming Zi chatted about recent gossip.

"Li Xuan got married again!"

Si Rong:...

She felt she had already heard this sentence many times.

Li Xuan seemed to have a kind of magic; whichever man she married, that man would have bad luck.

After Shen Lan died, she remarried that fat man and the fat man went bankrupt; she married Commander Kong, and the father and son ended up one dead and one disabled; she wondered which lucky man would be next this time.

Si Rong was just about to ask who Li Xuan had married when she saw the two siblings, who should have been at home doing homework, walking toward them side by side.

Their aggressive momentum made her feel a bit guilty.

"Dad, is this a hospital?" Jiang Sinian asked with his arms crossed, mocking them.

"Mom, is your chest tight?" Jiang Siyu asked, feeling aggrieved that they hadn't brought her for hot pot.

Everyone in the entire hot pot restaurant looked toward their table.

Si Rong:...

Jiang Cheng:...
