Chapter 176 Strange Mother-in-law (1)
"But I told my female friends about my mother-in-law, and they all felt the same way I did, that she was indeed a little abnormal. Under their persuasion, I told my husband again, but he still didn't believe me. He even got angry at me, saying I was just bored."
[Is your husband a mama's boy? ]
Liu Yafei shook her head like a rattle: "No, my husband is not a mama's boy at all. He is very capable at work and has his own opinions."
"Then tell us about your mother-in-law's strange behavior... Let's help you figure out if she really has a problem."
"Okay." Liu Yafei nodded obediently. "My mother-in-law has been receiving various express deliveries recently, including food and useful things. I've secretly looked at the express delivery slips a few times, and there are sour plum paste, hairpins, combs, nuts, and so on."
What's wrong with receiving packages? I get at least five packages a day!
"But...but my mother-in-law is a very frugal person. She still wears the same sweater after more than ten years."
[But the things your mother-in-law bought weren't very expensive, and they were all pretty normal things.]
I agree with the above comment. My parents have been really into using Bingxixi to buy things lately. They're all small, affordable items, costing just a few yuan each. They also love Douyin, a popular video streaming app. Many Douyin livestreams have prize draws. Since they're retired and have nothing better to do, they hang out in the livestreams every day and always win a few prizes.
I once saw a live broadcast room shared by a mother in a group of pregnant mothers. She said that the number of viewers was generally in the double digits, and the merchant held activities and raffles every day. She would go to the live broadcast room whenever she was free and won many prizes.
I shared the livestream with my parents because I'm trying to lose weight, and the raffle was giving away jump ropes, so I wanted them to give me one. A month later, my family now has over ten jump ropes, and they split them about evenly, each getting five or six.
"Really? Am I really overthinking it?" Liu Yafei became hesitant. Could it be that what her husband said was right?
Mei Ling'er took a sip of boiled water and asked, "Have you asked your mother-in-law about the things she bought?"
Liu Yafei confessed: "I once tried to test my mother-in-law, and she seemed a little embarrassed at the time. She explained that the grandmothers who were taking their children out in the community were all buying it recently, so she followed suit. She also said that if I felt there were too many deliveries, she would not buy it..."
"Later, I really didn't see any more deliveries from my mother-in-law, but she was wearing more and more jewelry... many of which I had never seen before."
Mei Ling'er: "Are there any other abnormal things?"
Liu Yafei's eyes evaded, her face slightly flushed. "During the weekends, my husband and I would play with the children in the living room, and my mother-in-law would be in the bedroom playing with her phone. I saw her several times...she would pout at the camera and call him 'big brother' in a coquettish tone."
[Oh my goodness, is your mother-in-law a live streamer? Just a quick question: how old is your mother-in-law? How old does that mean your brother must be?]
[With that filter on, I guarantee even your own mother wouldn't recognize you. Besides, I earned the rewards based on my own abilities, I didn't steal or rob. As long as Big Brother has money, who cares if he's an elementary school student or an old man in a wheelchair?]
[Were the previous express deliveries all gifts from the big brothers? ]
"Master Ling, they...what they said can't be true, right? Is my mother-in-law really an anchor like you?"
Mei Linger lowered her head and smiled. She didn't call the netizens "big brother" in the live broadcast room. After drinking a sip of boiled water, she slowly said:
"Do you have a photo of your mother-in-law?"
Liu Yafei shook her head. "My mother-in-law doesn't like having her picture taken. She usually stays away when I take a video of my daughter. She says she's not photogenic and doesn't look good in photos."
"Then go find your mother-in-law now and let us see if she really doesn't look photogenic."
Liu Yafei looked embarrassed and sat on the sofa motionless.
Mei Linger smiled slightly. "Besides you, your mother-in-law is also a loyal fan of mine, but she's not online for today's live broadcast. Later, you can say you came to the live broadcast room to ask about the second child, and ask your mother-in-law to check it out together."
Liu Yafei's eyes suddenly became bright. She didn't expect that her mother-in-law also liked Master Ling.
Master Ling is so amazing that he could even figure out why her mother-in-law kept urging her to have a second child.
"Then I'll go call my mother-in-law now and let everyone see what my mother-in-law looks like."
"It's only a little after seven in the evening. My mother-in-law should still be dancing in the park. Then I...I'll go to the park to find her..."
Liu Yafei changed her clothes and went out with her cell phone.
Ten minutes later, noisy music was heard from the live broadcast room. It was a mixture of several songs, some high and some low, one after another.
Liu Yafei picked up her phone, pointed it at the live broadcast room and said with a smile:
"Everyone, pay attention. I'm almost there."
Then, Liu Yafei hung her cell phone on her chest and walked towards the bustling crowd.
Mei Ling'er took this opportunity to go to the bathroom.
[Master Ling, you should drink boiled water in small sips. Small sips go all over your body, while large sips go to your kidneys.]
[How did you know that Master Ling went to the restroom? ]
Maybe you're not a long-time fan, but you don't know that Master Ling always likes to go to the bathroom during live broadcasts (Puppy's evil smile.jpg)
When Mei Ling'er finished using the toilet, Liu Yafei happened to walk to her mother-in-law. She pretended to be surprised and shouted:
"Mom! I'm connected to the host of Linglingyao's live broadcast room!"
"Ah? That's the all-powerful and omnipotent spiritual master?"
In the live broadcast, there was a middle-aged woman wearing green satin, a pearl necklace around her neck, and her hair all tied up behind her head. She looked at him with a confused look.
"Hello everyone, this is my mother-in-law!" Liu Yafei glanced at her mother-in-law guiltily, and seeing that she didn't suspect anything, she relaxed a little. She took the phone off her neck, placed it in front of her mother-in-law, and pointed at the screen:
"Mom! You're right, this is Master Ling."
At this moment, Liu Yafei's mother-in-law's face suddenly zoomed in in the live broadcast room, revealing a delicate face that seemed as delicate as a baby's. Time seemed to be particularly kind to her, leaving few traces on her beautiful face, but instead giving it a temperament that had been precipitated by time.
She was like a shy little girl, with a smile on her lips:
"Xiao Fei, were you chosen by Master Ling?"
"What do you want to count?"
"Did you come to discuss this with me?"
"Since you've come to me for advice, why not let Master Ling do the math..."
