My Mother-In-Law Brought Me Out of the Family Group

Outsider A 30,000-word realistic novel about dignity, secrets and reconciliation --- Chapter 1 Red Exclamation Mark At night in Weibin District, Baoji, the evening breeze from the Wei River carries the lights of Water Street in "The Book of Songs" and diffuses into the window lattice on the 25th floor. Holding a cup of freshly brewed wolfberry tea, I stood in front of the window in a daze for a while. The heat in the tea cup slowly rose, blurring the lenses of my glasses and the bright night scene outside the window. After five years of marriage, I still marvel at the beauty of this city at some random moment. The phone screen lit up, it was the "Happy Family" WeChat group created by my mother-in-law. I clicked in and saw a photo posted by my sister-in-law Zhou Rong - a selfie of her and her mother-in-law shopping on Jing'er Road, with the text: "I was so happy shopping on Jing'er Road with my mother. I bought new clothes for my mother!" In the photo, the mother-in-law is wearing a dark red printed coat, smiling so hard that her eyes narrow into slits. I couldn't help but laugh too. My mother-in-law is sixty-two years old. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
