Chapter 239 Sister-in-law...you have to take responsibility now!

While Shen Li was tidying up.

Lu Cheng washed the clothes the two of them had been doing the night before right next to him.

Shen Li's face was flushed.

We need to find a way to get rid of this thing.

Otherwise, perfectly good people would turn into beasts.

Each courtyard has its own laundry and drying room.

Of course, there are also clothes-warming machines.

Only the house needs a cleaning service.

Shen Li installed surveillance cameras in many public areas of the courtyard.

It's not very useful at the moment.

But it's better to be prepared!

Lunch.

Shen Li noticed that her grandfather was not there.

Shen Li looked at Chen Haisheng: "Where is Grandpa?"

Chen Haisheng said, "Grandpa went out to play chess with a friend."

Shen Li: Why doesn't she believe it?

"All right!"

Lu Zhou looked at Shen Li's rosy and radiant complexion.

I felt incredibly annoyed. My second brother is so unrestrained; he only got up at midday.

"Sister Li, you can't skip breakfast, or you'll develop stomach problems later."

He was saying words of concern.

Shen Li glanced at Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng pretended not to see it.

"Yes, I know. I have food in my room, and I have food in the morning."

Lu Zhou: "That's more like it. By the way, Sister Li, I don't know how to use that electronic product. Could you teach me?"

Shen Li: "Okay!"

Shen Li is on vacation and doesn't have to go to school.

Lu's mother went to the shop, while his eldest and second uncles were at home. Lu Cheng chatted with the two elders in the courtyard, while Shen Li took Xiao Nan and Lu Zhou back to their courtyard.

The two children also need to learn to do chores—although they will be boarding at school for the first semester, they will come home on weekends. There aren't many helpers in the house, and hiring more wouldn't be necessary, so they have to do their own laundry. Fortunately, there's a washing machine, which is convenient.

Shen Li was very patient, teaching Xiao Nan how to use the washing machine step by step, while Lu Zhou, tall and imposing, also joined in to learn. Suddenly, Lu Zhou asked, "Sister Li, how far is it from here to Peking University?"

Shen Li thought for a moment: "It takes half an hour by bus, but only ten minutes by taxi."

"Then I'll stay home when school starts!" Lu Zhou said.

Shen Li shook her head: "No, freshmen at Peking University must live on campus."

"Oh, that's terrible." Lu Zhou looked mournful; he really wanted to stay at home.

In contrast, Lu Nan took it easy: "So what if I live on campus? It's a good opportunity to build good relationships with my classmates during the first semester."

Upon hearing this, Shen Li added, "Friendships between classmates should be maintained if possible, but there's no need to force yourself to get along if you don't. After all, everyone has a different personality."

Lu Nan nodded: "Yes, sister-in-law, I understand."

Shen Li turned to look at Lu Zhou, who was frowning, and teased, "The admission notice hasn't even come out yet, and you're already thinking about Peking University? It would be so embarrassing if you didn't get in."

Lu Zhou stared blankly at the smile in her eyes, and said defiantly, "Want to take a gamble?"

"Ah... let go!"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Li grabbed Lu Zhou's ear and twisted it: "At such a young age, you're already thinking about gambling?"

"Ah... Sister Li, are you deliberately messing with me? Is this considered gambling?"

"Why doesn't it count?"

Lu Zhou didn't dare to pull her hand away forcefully, so he could only gently hold the hand that was twisting his ear and beg for mercy: "Okay, okay... I was wrong, alright?"

Lu Nan laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight—Third Brother, you're only ever going to get disciplined by your sister-in-law.

Shen Li released her grip, and Lu Zhou muttered, "Like a tigress."

"Ouch!"

This time, Shen Li twisted the other ear: "You have no manners!"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

"Call her sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou hardened his stance: "I won't shout."

Shen Li increased the pressure on her hand.

"Oh, okay, I'll yell, alright?"

"Go ahead and shout."

"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law," Lu Zhou said weakly, his face full of embarrassment.

Shen Li released her grip: "I'm your sister-in-law. If you dare to be disrespectful again, I'll teach you a lesson."

Lu Zhou wanted to mutter a few more words, but when he met Shen Li's gaze, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"You've all learned how to use the washing machine, right?" Shen Li changed the subject.

Xiao Nan nodded immediately: "Sister-in-law, I've learned it!"

Shen Li looked at Lu Zhou, waiting for his response. Lu Zhou nodded, gave a muffled "hmm," covered his ears in dissatisfaction, and looked aggrieved.

"Does it hurt a lot?" Shen Li asked.

"Um."

Shen Li wondered to himself: Had he accidentally gone too far? He said, "Let me see."

Lu Zhou lowered his head and brought his ear close to her face: "See?"

Shen Li examined it carefully: "It's just a little red, nothing serious."

"How come you're alright? Your ears are so sensitive, sister-in-law...you have to take responsibility now!"

Shen Li's lips twitched: "Are you trying to scam me?"

Lu Zhou pursed his lips: "Do I look like that kind of person?"

Lu Nan rolled her eyes – it wasn't just similar, it was exactly like that!

Shen Li went straight to the point: "Say it, what do you want?"

Lu Zhou suddenly hugged her tightly: "Sister Li is the best!"

Shen Li was startled. Although Lu Zhou would sometimes suddenly hug her arm and act coquettishly, this was the first time he had hugged her so directly. She quickly pulled her arm away: "Get to the point, stop pulling and tugging."

Lu Zhou pouted: "I have no clothes to wear, come with me to buy some clothes."

Shen Li glanced at Lu Zhou's clothes and noticed they were indeed a bit short, so she asked in confusion, "Why didn't your mother buy you new ones?"

This can't be blamed on Lu's mother. Originally, Lu's mother wanted all three sons to marry the same woman, but Lu Zhou ruined her plan, so she stopped caring about Lu Zhou much afterward, making Lu Zhou feel like he wasn't her biological son.

Shen Li glanced at Lu Nan again. Her family owned a women's clothing store, so Lu Nan certainly didn't lack clothes. She suddenly remembered the store and asked, "By the way, Xiao Nan, what happened to the family's women's clothing store?"

Lu Nan said, "Huh? Didn't Mom tell you? She transferred it to Xiao Fang as you said before. The transfer fee plus the inventory cost a total of 1,500 yuan."

Shen Li nodded: "Yes, that's fine too." Then she turned to Lu Zhou, "Let's go, I'll go shopping for clothes with you."

"Okay!" Lu Zhou nodded immediately.

Lu Nan also raised her hand: "I want to go too!"

"You have clothes to wear, why are you going to join in the fun?" Lu Zhou objected.

Lu Nan rolled her eyes: "I'm going! I've never been out shopping before!"

Shen Li smiled and nodded: "Go ahead, go ahead. Let's just eat out tonight, no need to cook at home."

Xiao Nan jumped up happily: "Great! Great!"

The three of them went out of the courtyard and saw Lu Cheng chatting with his uncle and the others. Shen Li walked over and said, "I'm taking them out to buy some things. We'll eat out tonight, so there's no need for us to stay for dinner at home."

Lu Cheng nodded: "Okay." He then looked at Lu Zhou and instructed, "Be careful when you go out, and take good care of Lili."

"I understand, Second Brother," Lu Zhou replied.

The three of them went outside but didn't find a taxi. Shen Li suddenly realized that it would be much more convenient to buy her own car. She looked at Lu Nan and Lu Zhou: "Why don't you two get your driver's licenses this summer?"

Lu Zhou's eyes lit up: "Great! I've wanted to take this exam for ages!"

Xiao Nan also asked, "Sister Li, can I take the exam too?"

"Of course you can. Having a driver's license will make driving much easier."

Xiao Nan hesitated, pointing to herself and saying, "Drive? When will I be able to afford a car? Those things are so expensive."

Shen Li smiled: "Cars will become more and more common in the future, and they won't be expensive then."

Xiao Nan nodded: "Okay, I'll take the test too! Even if I don't have a car, I can still be my sister-in-law's driver in the future."

Shen Li joked, "Then I am so honored to have a top student as my driver."
