Chapter 8 - 8: Your Daughter-in-law
"You're looking for Dr. Si?" Yu Shiya scrutinized the plainly dressed, average-looking woman before her with suspicion, "What's your relationship with him?"
"Family." Zhang Lijuan felt somewhat nervous under the female doctor's gaze. She felt that the doctor was looking down on her. Before leaving the house, she had been pleased with her appearance, thinking she was the most beautiful woman in the village. But after meeting Tong Yao and the female doctor, she was filled with an inexplicable sense of inferiority that was hard to describe.
Around the same age, one was wearing a white lab coat, working as a doctor while she was a village woman visiting the city. The gap suddenly seemed enormous.
Family?
As far as she knew, Si Chen only had a younger sister at home. The woman before her didn't resemble Si Chen, so she couldn't be his sister. She was carrying a change of clothes, seemingly planning to stay in the city. The only possible explanation...
"You're Dr. Si's wife, aren't you?"
Yu Shiya's mouth curled slightly in amusement. Her eyes sparkled with a touch of pleasure, and her tone was much more polite and respectful.
Si Chen's wife?
Zhang Lijuan was thrilled by the title, momentarily forgetting to object. To be precise, she didn't want to object. She distinctly felt that the woman's attitude towards her improved once she speculated about her being Si Chen's wife.
