Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

Lu Yang originally thought that after he finished showering, he would have to continue to face the interrogation of the fierce woman, Yin Mingzhu.

As a result, he was left with his hair completely wet.

Open the door!

There was no one outside.

"gone?"

Lu Yang glanced at Xiao Jiu beside him; the kid was trying not to laugh.

So Lu Yang glared at him again: What's so funny?

"Well, let's go."

Xiao Jiu shrank her neck and nodded vigorously twice.

"When did you leave?"

Lu Yang frowned.

"Just now."

Xiao Jiu answered truthfully.

"Where did you go?"

Lu Yang craned his neck out of the yard. "Did they go out? Or... went to the backyard?"

He certainly hoped that the wicked woman had already left.

To avoid him causing trouble again later.

"No... I haven't gone out yet."

Xiao Jiu, who was trying hard to suppress her laughter, gestured with her chin toward the backyard.

Lu Yang immediately looked disappointed.

"Alright, go back to your room. Laugh if you want, do whatever you want."

Lu Yang waved his hand.

I had just turned around and hadn't even taken more than ten steps into the backyard when I heard bursts of laughter behind me.

He was so angry that he quickly turned around again.

The burst of laughter behind him suddenly stopped.

Xiao Jiu covered her mouth with her hand, suppressing a laugh, and asked, "Boss, is there anything else?"

Lu Yang... said somewhat angrily, "Is it really that funny?"

Xiao Jiu quickly took her hand down, shaking her head innocently, "I didn't laugh, boss, you must have misheard me? I've received professional training."

Lu Yang raised his hand.

She pointed at him, glared at him several times, but in the end, she didn't utter the question.

"Fine, you're a time traveler, I'm not. You're trying to pull the mermaid trope on me, huh? Just you wait, I'll deduct your entire bonus for this month."

He was so angry he almost talked nonsense.

Of course, in Xiao Jiu's eyes, this was almost like nonsense, because she couldn't understand what the boss was talking about at all... What startup, what mermaid, what joke... she had no idea.

"Boss, no... ah... my bonus... my poor bonus..."

He stretched out his arm behind him, trying to stop him.

But Lu Yang had already walked away aggressively, entered the moon archway, turned a corner, and disappeared from sight.

Poor Xiao Jiu!

"Deserve it!"

"What's so pitiful about that? They're getting along really well with the boss. We should be envious. If it were you, would you dare to joke around with your boss like that?"

"You dare?"

"I can not."

"That settles it then. Let's go have a drink and celebrate this month's salary and bonus. We can finally surpass Team Nine."

"Oh, now that you mention it, I'll have a couple more drinks. Team Nine, are you coming?"

"Get out of here! I still have to stand guard here. Otherwise, if everyone goes out drinking, who will be responsible for safety?"

A group of jovial security guards started joking around with Xiao Jiu, but Xiao Jiu ended up scolding them all and sending them inside.

These are all his comrades-in-arms, or Ah Long's comrades-in-arms. Back then, it was the two of them who contacted them one by one and gathered all the retired comrades-in-arms together, which is how Lu Yang's security team was formed.

So they had no reservations when they were together, and were pretty much like good buddies in private. Otherwise, in a typical security team, the members wouldn't dare to joke around with their captain like that.

Lu Yang walked into the backyard and could hear his son crying from afar.

"The little guy has a pretty loud voice."

When I went over to take a look, I found that my son was taking a bath, and the person helping the little guy was none other than Yin Mingzhu, who was in a flustered state.

Lu Yang walked over and said with dissatisfaction, "We have a professional postpartum nanny and a wet nurse at home. This is Wu Ma's job. Why are you trying to take it from us? Do you even know how?"

Yin Mingzhu, who was already in a flurry of activity, became displeased upon hearing this. She casually threw the wet handkerchief she was using to wipe her little nephew's clothes at Lu Yang.

"asshole."

I meant well, wanting to take a bath with my nephew, but this jerk showed his disdain as soon as he walked in the door.

She was so angry that she had a headache.

Lu Yang lowered his head, and the handkerchief flew directly over his head, but he still got soaked.

There were water stains on his head, face, shoulders, and even his pants.

However, considering that it was his son's bathwater, Lu Yang didn't mind it.

but……

Those who deserve criticism should still be criticized.

Lu Yang said with a sneer, "Am I wrong? Have you ever given birth? Have you ever taken care of a child? You've never given birth or taken care of a child, yet you're using my son as an experiment. My son is not your experimental tool. Get out of the way and let Aunt Wu bathe my son."

The nanny, Wu Ma, who was in her early forties and was called out by Lu Yang, awkwardly held the dry towel in her hand, unsure whether to respond or not.

This is the employer's family matter, and besides, the employer's sister-in-law looks exactly like the employer's daughter-in-law.

I heard they are twin sisters. I wonder what the relationship is between this sister-in-law and the employer. The two seem to be at odds and always quarrel whenever they meet. But what if she is just putting on a show for the servants?

There's an old saying that's really true: "Hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love." What if they're just flirting?
As a highly qualified home care worker who has received professional training from a training institution.

The first basic principle is not to interrupt your employer.

Do more and talk less. Follow the employer's instructions and do whatever the employer asks you to do. If the male and female heads of the household disagree, try to listen to the female head of the household.

Because the woman of the house is the primary factor in determining whether a nanny can stay in the household long-term.

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Ma cautiously said, "Mr. Lu... Mrs. Lu said to have the child's aunt help bathe the child. Why don't you... go and ask Mrs. Lu now?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang frowned again.

Never mind. I have to give my wife face.

So he ignored the smug look in the eyes of the woman who was washing her son's bottom and turned to walk towards the master bedroom in the backyard.

"Where's my wife?"

Is she still sleeping?

Lu Yang is a master at changing the subject.

"It's like this, Madam is still in her postpartum confinement period, so it's best to keep her away from drafts, especially cold water. Madam was just about to bathe the young master herself, but I persuaded her otherwise..."

Lu Yang said impatiently, "Just tell me if she's asleep or not. If she is, I won't go in and disturb her. Let her get some sleep."

The courtyard house is large, with many rooms, and there are plenty of empty rooms in the backyard. If all else fails, there's also a study.

Fortunately.

The nanny replied that her daughter-in-law hadn't gone to sleep yet.

Having received a definite answer, Lu Yang pushed open the door and went inside.

Yin Mingzhu, who was standing there with a less-than-pleasant expression, and Wu Ma, the nanny, who was wondering if she had talked too much.

Yin Mingzhu pouted: "Aunt Wu, don't take what he just said to heart. That's just how he is. When he gets angry, he's like a complete idiot. Even I often get roasted by him. You just saw it. But don't worry, he won't hold it against you."

As he spoke, he took the dry towel from Aunt Wu's hand and clumsily picked up his little nephew.

Fortunately this time...

Perhaps because he had just taken a shower and felt clean and refreshed, Lu Yang, his precious son, didn't burst into tears at his aunt.

Yin Mingzhu looked left and right, and seeing that her wrapping was quite good, she said smugly, "It's not that difficult. Humph, that stinky guy dares to underestimate me."

Seeing that Yin Mingzhu didn't take the argument to heart at all.

They even sided with the employer.

Aunt Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a look of approval, "Young Master's aunt is indeed very skillful. She learns quickly. If she has her own children in the future, she will definitely raise them to be healthy and chubby."

Yin Mingzhu blushed upon hearing these words.

She's still a virgin.

It's not about children; it's just that Aunt Wu meant well, so I won't hold it against her.

"Let's go over there and rest for a while."

As she spoke, she carried the child and walked towards the bedroom next to Lu Yang and Yin Mingyue's master bedroom.

This time, she didn't argue with Lu Yang and insist on barging in with the child, disturbing the couple's rare opportunity to be alone together.

Lu Yang entered the master bedroom and found his wife half-lying on the headboard reading a psychology book.

So he half-jokingly said, "Oh, you've started researching this now? You don't mean you want to be a psychologist in the future, do you?"

Yin Mingyue quickly put the book down, blushing as she glanced at Lu Yang who had barged in, and said, "Ugh, you know I forced myself to read these books to cure my stutter. I hoped to analyze the reasons for my childhood stutter from a psychological perspective, find the cause, and then correct it. In the end, I determined that it wasn't psychological, but rather that my vocal cords hadn't developed properly since childhood, requiring postnatal training and systematic vocalization."

"But I've gotten used to it now. Sometimes when I'm bored, I look at them and I always feel a sense of peace."

"Honey, you don't dislike it, do you?"

Because she understands psychology, she specifically asked this question.

Psychology is a science that studies human psychological phenomena, behaviors, and mental processes. It explores internal psychological activities such as thinking, emotions, and motivations, and also focuses on external behavioral manifestations, attempting to reveal the patterns and connections between these behaviors.

However, psychology is often stigmatized, especially in China, where many people regard it as a form of mind reading.

Just think how terrifying mind-reading is?
If you are standing opposite someone who can read minds, then all your thoughts, actions, and motivations will be laid bare. She will know everything about you, and you will be completely exposed, like you are naked in front of her.

Humans are precisely the primates that need clothing and lies the most to disguise themselves.

When a person stands naked in front of another person, with no way to hide even the thoughts in their mind, that person will completely lose all sense of security.

However, the above refers to people who can actually read minds, while psychology is obviously not as magical as mind reading.

Learning psychology and having a certain amount of psychological knowledge can help wives be more perceptive of their husbands' emotions, behavioral patterns, or psychological motivations.

This is precisely what many husbands cannot tolerate.

They might perceive this fear of being analyzed as a threat or intrusion from their wife into their personal privacy!
In more serious cases, if there are unresolved conflicts between the husband and wife, then the wife's spying on her husband could very well be interpreted as a hidden attack tactic!

Ultimately, the conflicts escalated, leading to the breakdown of the marriage, which was irreparable.

In order to treat her stuttering, Yin Mingyue had already studied psychology for several years and read many books on the subject.

Therefore, she also understands the dual nature of psychology in marital relationships.

It works well.

The couple's relationship deepened.

It's not good.

As conflicts deepened and mutual distrust grew, the marital relationship began to break down.

Today, her husband happened to catch her in the act, so she had to explain that her purpose in studying psychology was a habit she had developed over many years, not to specifically learn it to spy on Lu Yang's psychology.

Lu Yang was stunned. He hadn't expected his wife to become so sensitive. He couldn't help but walk over and gently hug his wife.

"Honey, you're so good to me. I've been neglecting you lately. I'll definitely spend more time with you and the kids from now on. As for psychology books, feel free to study them if you want. It won't hurt to read them and broaden your horizons. I'm not one of those uncultured nouveau riche who thinks that studying psychology will make them mind readers. They see it as a monster, but I don't."

Although he hadn't studied much, having just escaped poverty after nine years of compulsory education, and oh right, he had also enrolled in an adult class at Shenzhen University, though he hadn't attended for more than a few days, Lu Yang dared to look down on them because he had decades more of experience from the future than other nouveau riche.

Yin Mingyue chuckled.

At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief, pressed her face against Lu Yang's chest, and listened to her husband's strong heartbeat. She said softly, "Then, Brother Lu Yang, you can't lie to me anymore. Once I've learned psychology, I'll find out if you lie to me again. We can talk things out as husband and wife, even if you have someone else outside..."

Lu Yang's hair stood on end.

He felt that his wife's words were implied, and wondered if she had already realized something.
Yin Mingyue raised her head, her expression a half-smile, and looked into his eyes, saying, "Husband, your heart was beating so fast just now, it suddenly accelerated. Did I guess right?"

Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat: the deadly question had indeed arrived.

"What should we do? What should we do? Should we admit it?"

"Admit it my foot! I would never admit to something like this, even if you killed me."

"But Mingyue... he seems to have already become suspicious."

"Tch, what you're saying is just suspicion, not certainty. To catch a thief red-handed or an adulterer in the act, you can't really count anything unless you catch them red-handed."

"Then... you won't confess?"

"Hmm, no."

After the little figures in my head finished their fight, they eventually reached a consensus.

Lu Yang decided to play along, his eyes darting around as he said, "Um... honey, I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

They just kept changing the subject.

Yin Mingyue was furious, but she didn't want to push him too far, so she punched his chest and got up to bring out her postpartum meal: "Eat, eat, eat, here you go."

Who doesn't have a temper sometimes? (End of Chapter)
