1970s Gangster Couple

Wang Wei saw that Xiao Sanmei and Xiao Simei had come. He quickly put down Xiao Xiao's feet, but he was afraid of putting them down too heavily by accident. So, he held her feet until he was sure they had landed before retracting his hands.

Upon seeing Wang Wei, Xiao Sanmei was struck by his handsome face, momentarily lost in admiration, before finally speaking, "Brother-in-law."

Xiao Simei, hiding behind Xiao Sanmei, also called out.

Wang Wei nodded, "You guys talk to Xiao Xiao, I'll go do the laundry."

He knew the two girls were afraid of him, so he deliberately kept his distance.

Xiao Xiao seemed a bit displeased, "Husband, where are you going?" Why are you keeping your distance from her?

Wang Wei waved at her, gesturing for her to talk to her two sisters.

Xiao Sanmei noticed that Xiao Xiao was staring at Wang Wei like a lovesick maiden, completely ignoring her and Xiao Simei. She wore an expression of disbelief and couldn't bear to look. Xiao Sanmei impatiently tugged at Xiao Xiao, "Second sister, stop staring. Brother-in-law won't disappear in just a moment."

Xiao Xiao finally shifted her gaze to her two sisters, making a sound of realization. She slid her feet into the straw sandals specially woven by Wang Wei for her, saying, "You're done washing, why aren't you heading back yet?" She stood there, blocking her view of Wang Wei.

Xiao Sanmei, frustrated, said, "Do you think I came all this way for nothing? After saying this, I and Simei will head back. Second sister, haven't I told Simei a long time ago to advise you not to take advantage of your husband's kindness and do nothing? Do you realize how many village girls have their eyes on your husband?"

Xiao Xiao made a sound of acknowledgment, nodding as she propped up her chin. "Yeah, I know." After all, everyone has a desire for beauty, and with Wang Wei's appearance being like a flower in full bloom with a strong fragrance, it's only natural that bees would buzz around him.

"Even if you know, you still need to be more thoughtful. Don't you understand that you should treat your husband better and be more diligent? Do you know that many people say you're a lazy woman and that marrying brother-in-law is a waste for him? Wake up a bit. If you continue to be lazy like this and if brother-in-law gets fed up and is really lured away by some other girl, I wonder how you'll deal with it!"

"Yeah, that's right..." Xiao Simei wholeheartedly agreed. Having worked alongside Xiao Xiao for so long, she knew better than anyone how useless Xiao Xiao could be at times!

Xiao Xiao quickly said, "Alright, I know. I'll change." These two girls could talk endlessly, and if she didn't agree, they would surely keep nagging.

Seeing that Xiao Xiao was showing a sincere attitude of admitting her mistake, Xiao Sanmei and Xiao Simei decided to let her off the hook. "Okay, we'll go back now. Just don't forget what you promised us just now."

Xiao Xiao nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I won't."

As Xiao Sanmei and Xiao Simei turned to leave, Xiao Xiao suddenly remembered something and called out to them, "Did you eat the rabbit meat I gave you?" She couldn't bring out grain, so occasionally, she would bring some game for the Xiao family girls. Everyone knew that Wang Wei was skilled in the mountains, and no one doubted this.

Upon hearing Xiao Xiao's question, the expressions of Xiao Sanmei and Xiao Simei immediately darkened. Xiao Sanmei said, "Second Sister, you know our parents. Everything good in the house belongs to our little brother. Even our youngest sister hasn't had a piece of meat, let alone us."
