Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife

Chapter 367 Wang Mengmeng’s Pen Pal

Lin Zhe hung up the phone with a bang.

Shen Xiaojun glanced at him when he heard this, "What's wrong? Didn't you just say it well? You could just persuade them more. I think mom still wants to come."

Lin Zhe frowned, "I've said everything I need to say. They want to stay at home and help build a house for their second son. What can I do?"

He let out a sullen breath, "Forget it! Don't force it. Don't just say that I didn't invite them to enjoy it."

Shen Xiaojun patted him and said, "Okay, don't be angry." He said deliberately: "You are such a big man and you are still jealous of your second brother?"

"He's the only one who's jealous!" Lin Zhe almost raised his eyebrows, "Why should I be jealous of him? How can he catch up with me? I'm jealous of him? How can I not think about it?"

Every sentence is a rhetorical question.

The more he behaves like this, the more Shen Xiaojun thinks he is jealous. No matter how old you are, you will feel aggrieved and angry when faced with the issue of parents' partiality.

"Don't think I don't know outside. I pay people to help me harvest rice every year. I just don't want them to be too tired during the summer harvest. We all know how tiring the summer harvest is. The high temperature is over [-] degrees! It's noon. Everyone is rushing to harvest in the fields, and the weather is so hot that if you don't pay attention, you will suffer from heat stroke! It's a good thing for them, they went to the second son's house and worked hard!" Lin Zhe felt indignant.

"I didn't give the money, and they didn't have time to help the second brother's field. I gave the money, and they had time. So, should I use the money for the second brother's expense, or for theirs? "

Shen Xiaojun asked him, "Then will you pay people to harvest rice in the future?"

"Give it!" Lin Zhe's voice was muffled, "If I don't give it, the old couple won't know what to think."

"Isn't that enough? Just do your filial piety and don't think about anything else. Who they want to help is their own business, so don't worry about it. If you care too much, you're not a human being. It's hard to be confused!"

Shen Xiaojun sometimes understands the old couple. Like most parents, they only think about their future generations and don't want to see them tired. They always want to help them with some work. Lin Xu is the closest to them and knows everything. They are sure I'm going to help.

There is also a lot of gossip in the village. The old people also care about face and are afraid that people will say that they are idle at home and do not help their descendants.

As for the ones they can't 'see'... they can't see them, and they can't help them no matter how tired they are.

Lin Wei received a call from Wang Mengmeng and asked if their school would have a holiday for the college entrance examination?

"Why is it a holiday? We don't have exams." She reacted, "Is your school on holiday?"

Wang Mengmeng smiled very happily on the other end of the phone, "Our school is an examination center, and the whole school is on holiday. That's not right. There are exams in the third year of high school, so it is not a holiday."

Lin Wei was envious and said, "It's so cool! Don't even think about our school. I guess it will never become an examination center."

"You are a private school! It must be different!"

Lin Wei held the phone in one hand, reached out to the coffee table with the other hand, took an apple from the fruit plate, and started to nibble on it.

"My cousin is also going to take the college entrance examination this time. Maybe she will be in your school now."

"That's really possible."

"I have to call my cousin later to cheer her up!"

"It's better not to. She must be very nervous now. She has an exam tomorrow. It's even more important at this time to calm down and pretend that she doesn't know about it, so as not to put pressure on her."

Lin Wei nodded, "You're right, you know quite a lot!"

"I also listened to what others said! I'm going to tell you something quietly, but you must never tell it to anyone else."

When Lin Wei heard this, she immediately sat up straight and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Mengmeng's voice was small and buzzing, as if she was covering the microphone when she said, "I received a love letter."

"What? A love letter!" Lin Wei was excited, "Who wrote it to you?"

"...I made a pen pal before, and he confessed his love to me in a letter."

Pen pal, confess your love?

Lin Wei suddenly thought of the friend's sister her father mentioned before...

"No! Classmate Wang Mengmeng, you can't fall in love with him. Early love is not good! It will affect your studies. If your parents and teachers find out, you will be in trouble!"

"Oh! I didn't say I promised him, he is just a simple pen pal!"

"Then don't write letters to him, or I won't play with you."

"I know, I know!"

Not two days after taking the college entrance examination, Lin Wei received another call from Wang Mengmeng.

"...It's so embarrassing. I just wanted to write him a letter saying that I wouldn't be a pen pal with him in the future. Who knew the letter was confiscated by their teacher."

"Their teacher even called me to the office. He also said that he and my dad are classmates... Wow! What should I do!"

"My dad will definitely beat me to death! He said that if I dare to fall in love prematurely, he will break my legs..."

Lin Wei: "..." Holding her forehead.

"To be honest, you are just making pen pals, not really puppy love."

"But..." Wang Mengmeng sobbed, "I wrote that if he dares to lie to me, I will hold him and jump off the cliff."

Lin Wei was heartbroken: "How many romance novels have you read! You can even write such clichéd words!"

Wang Mengmeng: "Wow..."
