Chapter 187 - 186: Cousin and Cousin-in-law
When it was the twenty-third of the New Year, my second aunt brought Shen Jie back. Lin Wan knew that every year, her second uncle would spend the New Year with Grandma. If her second uncle’s family couldn’t come back for the New Year, her eldest uncle would take Grandma to their house for the New Year. This year was different, mainly because of her, the newcomer. Grandma wasn’t going anywhere this year.
Shen Boxu from Eldest Uncle’s house came to see Grandma with his pregnant wife, Tan Aixiang.
"Oh, this must be Xiao Yi’s wife, what a rare beauty," Tan Aixiang said, pulling Lin Wan aside to chat as soon as she entered.
Tan Aixiang’s compliment made Lin Wan a little embarrassed, and she blushed, saying, "Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law are here."
"Xiao Wan, right? Sorry we missed your and Xiao Yi’s wedding last time; we were traveling abroad during those two weeks."
"Exactly, don’t take it to heart, sister-in-law."
"We arranged it too hastily, trying to catch Han Yi’s vacation."
"Yes, Xiao Yi is in the military all year round and hardly gets a chance to return home. Thankfully, he got transferred back last year, now he’s closer."
Shen Boxu’s temperament was somewhat like Eldest Uncle’s, but he wasn’t the type without his own ideas who followed everything his wife said.
In the past life, they hadn’t met many times but had exchanged a few words, so she somewhat understood them. Both of them were forthright people.
"Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law, come inside quickly, it’s cold outside," she said while glancing at Tan Aixiang’s belly and quickly supported her. "Sister-in-law, how many months is it?"
"Six months. This little rascal is really restless, has been giving me a hard time," Tan Aixiang said, smiling and holding her belly.
