Chapter 273 Loving You with Virtue

If she was a little late that time, we would always ask her with a smile, "Didn't you always come here much earlier when we invited you to dinner before?"

Why are you so late this time? Maybe you were waiting for your brother-in-law, which is why you're so late?

We find it really strange that our brother-in-law is so lonely! Why do we say that?

I invite him to my house for dinner every year during the first month of the lunar calendar, but he always has one reason or another for not coming.

It's not that he doesn't come to my house for dinner when I invite him; it's that he does the same thing whenever someone invites him for dinner.

Even if someone asked him to come to the market for a meal, he would rather stay home and cook some noodles than go. Since Jianmei passed away, he's gone even less often!

He only goes to Xiawei to pay New Year's respects to Yiyao during the first month of the lunar year with Jianying and the others. No matter how much you call him at other times, he won't go.

Sometimes we are very curious as to why our brother-in-law, who is such a lonely person, has a daughter who is so warm and hospitable.

Whenever we invite our little girl over for dinner, she always comes; there's never been a time when she refused.

Moreover, the little girl's temperament is just like her father's—warm and hospitable.

What impressed me most was when Jianmei invited my eldest and youngest daughters to her house for dinner. But my eldest daughter had something to do and said she couldn't go!

When the little girl found out that her older sister wasn't coming to her house for dinner, she actually started crying. It's clear how much she loves having guests at her home!

We always like to tease the little girl about this! If I invite you to my house for dinner and you don't go, then next time you invite me to your house for dinner, I won't go!

This sentence seems simple, but it has the little girl completely under its control! In fact, every time I invite someone to my house, the little girl comes over for dinner.

Moreover, Jianmei and Yiyao would bring a change of clothes to stay at my house, which made me very happy! Because I felt that they hadn't distanced themselves from me after my divorce from Jianlin.

We have maintained this very precious relationship very well over the years!

Previously, because I hadn't bought a house, I had been living in a snack shop, so I hadn't invited Yiyao Jianmei and Xiaoyatou to stay at my house.

At that time, my relationship with the little girl wasn't that deep! Maybe the little girl didn't know that I was actually her aunt?

Because Jianlin and I had already divorced before the little girl was born, she didn't know that I was actually her aunt.

I wonder if it's because every time my little girl comes to my shop to play, I go next door to buy her a pack of yogurt and a bowl of hot wontons?

Or is it because the little girl has always been very attached to my two daughters since she was little? She likes to stay at my house and her relationship with her aunt Jianying is closer than with us.

I've brought this up with Xiaoya many times since Jianmei passed away! I just hope that Xiaoya won't become distant from us because of Jianmei's death.

Actually, my worry is completely unnecessary! The little girl will still be as close to us as before after Jianmei's passing.

I don't know if it's because my brother-in-law taught my little girl never to visit someone's house empty-handed, or for some other reason, but she always brings some fruit when she comes to play at my house.

Although this behavior was very polite, we still felt there was something between us and the little girl. Perhaps we were all used to her unrestrained behavior in front of us.

We know our little girl loves dragon fruit, so whenever she comes to our house to play, if we have dragon fruit, we'll take it out, wash it, cut it up, and put it in front of her.

The little girl then picked up the toothpick placed to the side and ate all the dragon fruit in the bowl. Seeing this made me feel that the little girl considered my home as her own.

That summer, Jianmei's life was already on its last legs. She had been bedridden for half a year and was unable to take care of many things on her own, requiring Yiyao and her brother-in-law to take care of her closely.

We three younger sisters would visit Jianmei, who was bedridden, whenever we had free time on weekends. When we visited Jianmei, we would wipe her body with a hot towel, and we would wash her hair while she was lying in bed.

However, we didn't help her trim her nails because we delegated that task to our eldest daughter. By then, our eldest daughter had been transferred to work at the Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant.

When Jianmei heard about this, she cried and kept saying that it would be difficult to see her eldest daughter in the future.

Jianmei and her eldest daughter have a very deep bond! Whenever her eldest daughter has something good, she shares it with Jianmei immediately.

Every weekend when my eldest daughter comes home, the first thing she does is call Jianmei and ask her and Yiyao to bring Rousha to stay at my house for one or two days.

Every time my eldest daughter comes back from a trip, she brings back all sorts of delicious food for Yiyao and Rousha.

The reason why the eldest daughter dotes on Rousa so much is probably because she was raised by Jianmei from a young age.

Although her eldest daughter rarely spends time with Jianmei after going to university, they still call each other every few days for a casual chat.

The aunt and niece had a very deep bond! That's probably why Jianmei couldn't help but break down in tears when she heard that her eldest daughter was going to work in another city!

Perhaps Jianmei knew her life was coming to an end! She hoped that those she had loved and those she loved would be with her.

We also hoped that she could stay with us forever! But fate was cruel, and she died in that incredibly long late autumn.

They left after spending one last golden autumn full moon night with us! Our hearts sank as a result!

At first, whenever I saw Rosa, I couldn't help but think of Jianmei! I wonder if she's doing well in that world.

Will she still remember that in another world there was a group of people who loved her deeply, and whom she loved deeply? I wonder if we can still be best friends in the next life?

If God has mercy on us and allows us, the four golden flowers, to reunite in the next life, I will hold Jianmei's hand tightly and never let go.

If we truly meet again in the next life, I will definitely not drink the Meng Po soup when crossing the Bridge of Helplessness. Because I really want to tell her all the good and bad things that happened after she passed away.

I also want to tell her that your Rosa has grown up to be a truly outstanding woman! We all like her very much!

Because we not only showered her with all the love we could, but we also constantly guided her with moral and ethical standards!

Therefore, she is absolutely impossible for us to spoil! And sometimes she will do things to warm our hearts that have been frozen for so long.
