Rebirth on the Doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau

41

At Father Yu’s raised eyebrow, Xia Feng filled his glass with an aching heart; his liver already felt busted.

So after two cups, the seemingly invincible Xia Feng was directly facedown on the dinner table.

“Xia Feng, Xia Feng.” Yu Dong shook his shoulder for a while, but Xia Feng didn’t move. She turned towards her dad and pouted: “Dad, why did you get Xia Feng to go all out with you?”

“What all out, I’ve only had three cups.” Father Yu felt wronged, he hadn’t even felt a buzz yet.

“Why are you blaming dad, Xia Feng’s the one with no tolerance.” Yu Song quipped from the side.

“Fine, just drop it. Help me carry him into a bed.” Yu Dong lifted an arm.

“Yu Song went to Xia Feng’s other side and helped her lift him. He suddenly paused and asked: “Which room?”

“Obviously my room.” Yu Dong said.

Mother Yu’s dialect slipped as she banged her chopsticks down and said: “Bring him to your room Yu Song. You come over here.”

Yu Dong opened her mouth to argue, but in the end, she knew she was done for. So she quietly sat back down. She forgot that she wasn’t in her previous life. Before her rebirth it was ten years in the future- her mother would be desperate enough to personally dump any man into Yu Dong’s bed. Now, even her boyfriend isn’t allowed to enter her room unless they want to be stabbed with a kitchen knife.

Yu Song smiled at her as he left, leaving a numb Yu Dong to fend for herself.

Yu Dong didn’t continue to eat. Instead, she sat on her hands on the wooden chair. Father Yu glanced at her as he took another drink. Yu Song came back at this time and looking at the two sides of the room, decided that he would go to his dad where it would be out of the splash zone.

Yu Dong used her best smile as she rubbed her head against Mother Yu’s shoulder. She tried to act cute: “Mom~”

“Stand up!” Mother Yu raised a finger.

Yu Dong blinked. Biting her lip, she stood up.

“Talk!” Mother Yu’s expression was like a judge eyeing a prisoner.

“About what?” Yu Dong was at a loss.

“Start by telling me all your excuses for stealing your account book and leaving home.” It didn’t have much, but Mother Yu still remembered the exact amount in that account.

Both father and son pricked up their ears.

“That…it was a spur-of-the-moment thing. Later, I thought about the fact that you hadn’t even seen my boyfriend, so I realized marrying him wasn’t very good.” Yu Dong continued, upping the flattery. “Fortunately I changed my mind. I broke up with him, and a few days later, I arrived in Shanghai.”

“That’s what I thought. How can marriage be so casual? We haven’t even met the other party’s parents, we don’t even know his character.” Mother Yu ruthlessly said.

On the surface, Yu Dong’s head was nodding like a chicken pecking its food, but inwardly she disagreed. Ten years later, as long as it was a man you’d agree and get us married within the hour.

“What about Xia Feng? How did that happen?” Mother Yu asked.

“Xia Feng…” Yu Dong certainly can’t let her mother find out that she was already married; otherwise, she wouldn’t even live to see the next New Year. “I…I like him.”

Yu Song fake vomited at the sight of his sister’s coquettish actions; he rubbed the goosebumps across his arms.

“Forget that- what I like is being able to eat.” Mother Yu started interrogating: “education, age, job, income, house, cars, and ah what kind of people are his parents, tell me right now.”
