House Dad's Literary Life Chapter 287

Chapter 287 – Fl.u.s.tered Mo Fei

Things got serious.

Younger sister is coming!

Yang Yi had only these four words left in his mind. Even after hanging up the phone, he forgot to remind Yang Huan what kind of train to take to Jiangcheng and what the “little” girl should pay attention to on her first trip. His mind went blank.

It took him a long time to realize that Yang Huan’s visit had become a foregone conclusion. He couldn’t and shouldn’t stop her randomly. After all, besides being entangled by her, Yang Yi also considered letting Yang Huan come to Jiangcheng to study, to change the environment and find a better school.

But the problem was that he wasn’t ready to reveal everything to his family just yet.

He hasn’t been home for only two years, so what’s going on with the sudden appearance of a four-year-old daughter?

He told his family over the phone that he had made some money, but over the past few months, the gradually increasing remittances have only amounted to a little over a hundred thousand. Now he was driving a car worth hundreds of thousands and lived in a small building worth millions. Of course, this small building was easy to explain, after all, it was only rented for one yuan.

But what about the companies and a studio with tens of millions of investments?

With so much money, it was hard to justify only giving more than a hundred thousand to the family.

Wait, how did he earn so much money? It seemed quite difficult to explain.

Indeed, writing books could earn money, but why didn’t he write books before and suddenly started writing novels now?

Fortunately, Yang Yi joined the army relatively early. At that time, Yang Huan was only a few years old and knew very little about Yang Yi’s situation in school. Perhaps he could still fool her a little bit.

But why did he have to explain again?

Yang Yi felt like his head was about to explode. He had finally managed to fool Mo Fei, and now there was another big challenge. Yang Huan, this girl, was mischievous1and shouldn’t be so easy to fool!

In the evening, Yang Yi first told Xixi about this matter: “Xixi, your little aunt will come in a few days.”

“What’s a little aunt?” Xixi asked in confusion.

“A little aunt is your Papa’s younger sister, just like w.a.n.g Xiyun is w.a.n.g Xijun’s younger sister,” Yang Yi gave an example of a cla.s.smate from Xixi’s Kindergarten.

“Really? Papa’s younger sister, is little aunt pretty?” The little girl’s attention completely s.h.i.+fted.

Yang Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and could only describe her, and the little girl became inexplicably excited. Although Yang Yi repeatedly stated that, “Little aunt doesn’t have money and won’t bring you gifts,” she still eagerly looked forward to Yang Huan’s arrival.

In the evening, when Mo Fei came back, the first one to run up and report was Xixi: “Mama, Mama, my little aunt is coming! She’ll be here soon!”

“Your what? Your what is coming?” Mo Fei didn’t hear clearly at first and was a little confused.

“My little aunt! Oh, Mama, don’t you know? Papa said she’s Papa’s younger sister, just like w.a.n.g Xiyun is w.a.n.g Xijun’s younger sister!” Xixi imitated her father and showed off her knowledge.

However, Mo Fei was stunned. Upon hearing the news, she was a bit dumbfounded and looked at Yang Yi, waiting for his confirmation.

“That’s right, she had an argument with our family about not wanting to study and wanting to work instead. So I let her come over first to have a talk, so she might come in the next few days,” Yang Yi touched his nose and said with a wry smile.

Mo Fei’s reaction was somewhat unexpected to Yang Yi, she was completely bewildered!

Yang Yi served her a bowl of cooked chestnut mushroom chicken soup, but she drank it absentmindedly, mechanically stirring the spoon. If Yang Yi hadn’t noticed and stopped her, she probably would have spooned the ginger slices into her mouth.

At night, Xixi, with her antic.i.p.ation for her little aunt, sweetly fell asleep. Meanwhile, Mo Fei pouted and began to confide in Yang Yi: “Yang Yi, I’m afraid.”

Yang Yi felt that he was the one who was nervous and worried, so he was somewhat surprised when Mo Fei actually said she was afraid. “What are you afraid of? Yang Huan is coming, she won’t eat you!”

“But I’m afraid your sister won’t like me,” Mo Fei said nervously.

“No, that won’t happen, you’re so beautiful, and you’re a big star. You’ll definitely satisfy her little vanity. She won’t dislike you. Don’t worry!” Yang Yi could only hug her to comfort her.

But Mo Fei didn’t relax because of this. Her face remained tense, and she pouted and mumbled, “That’s not necessarily true. Her own brother’s woman, she must have high expectation. Being a big star might not even impress her.”

Yang Yi reached out and pinched her tender cherry lips, and said with a smile, “You’re overthinking it.”

“I’m not overthinking it. Think about it. When she sees me and Xixi, she’ll surely think a lot in her heart. You never brought Xixi back2with you before, and now suddenly there’s a little niece. She will definitely think it’s my fault. Even if she doesn’t say it, she will silently blame me in her heart and think I’m a domineering and arrogant sister-in-law.”

“No, I will explain the reasons to her clearly.” Yang Yi said with a wry smile. He had thought this would be a very headache-inducing problem, but he didn’t expect Mo Fei to take it upon herself and start worrying first. “Or I’ll take all the blame on myself and say that I abandoned you both before…”

“I won’t allow you to say that about yourself.” Mo Fei covered Yang Yi’s mouth and said reproachfully, “You’re not the kind of person who starts and abandons.3 If you’re going to say something, say it truthfully.”

“Alright, don’t worry about it, I’ll handle it. If she dares not to like you, I’ll beat her up for you!” Yang Yi said with a smile.

“No, no, how can you be so violent towards your own sister? That would only backfire,” Mo Fei said accusingly.

“I was just joking!”

Under Yang Yi’s playful remarks, Mo Fei calmed down instead. She felt that she shouldn’t panic first and needed to calm down and be prepared.

“Yang Yi, what kind of person is your sister?” Mo Fei began to inquire, “What does she like? Does she like designer handbags?”

“No, you mustn’t buy her too many expensive things. If she goes wild here and didn’t want to study anymore, that would be troublesome!” Yang Yi quickly waved his hands.

“It’s not a big deal if she doesn’t study.” Mo Fei initially wanted to please Yang Huan at all cost, but fortunately she came to her senses in time. “But it’s still better for her to go to college.”

“You still haven’t told me what kind of person your sister is!”

What kind of person is Yang Huan?

As Yang Yi recalled, he said, “As you know, our family used to be quite poor. My younger brother just got married this year, and our whole family are hardworking farmers, facing the yellow earth and back to the sky4. Only Yang Huan is slightly better off. She is young, only 19 years old, and the whole family dotes on her…”

Although Yang Huan also had to help with was.h.i.+ng clothes and doing housework at home, and even do some simple farm work like drying rice grains, compared to Yang Yi and Yang Qing, who had to follow their parents to plant seedlings and weed after they became sensible, she was already considered fortunate compared to other children in the village.

This also allowed Yang Huan to develop a completely different personality from her two brothers.

“Lively, mischievous, bold, and playful.” Yang Yi actually didn’t spend much time with Yang Huan, but based on these memories, he still summarized some.

“I don’t know what she likes. Anyway, if you don’t tell her to focus on studying and make the most of her time, she will probably be grateful to you!” Yang Yi said with a bitter smile.

“Then you talk to her about it.” Mo Fei said quickly, her face still filled with worry.

Although Yang Yi said a lot, she still had no idea in her heart…

Yang Yi looked at Mo Fei’s fl.u.s.tered appearance and said with heartache, “Why don’t you and Xixi go back and stay there first, and wait until I send Yang Huan away before coming back?”

“How can that be? I have to face your family eventually!” Mo Fei said reproachfully and discontentedly.

Yes, she had to face them eventually. How could she please her sister-in-law?
