When she heard my family house would be demolished, my sister-in-law quickly married my brother. But soon after, the government changed the plan, and our area was excluded from the demolition range.
Since then, "marital fraud" had become my sister-in-law's daily accusation against our whole family.
After dinner, my mom gave my dad a signal, and my dad stuttered and told me that he didn't care where he lived and wanted to switch cabins with my sister-in-law so that my mom could sleep without snoring.
It was always like this: whenever my sister-in-law was unhappy, she mentioned divorce. As long as she mentioned it, my parents immediately compromised. As a result, my parents would bring the nutritional products or pay her thousands or tens of thousands of dollars as she asked my parents for them, and this trick of my sister-in-law never failed.
Let them be. Anyway, I had fulfilled my filial duty; how they handled it was their own business.
The next day, before dawn, my mom called me. I thought she wanted to invite me to watch the sunrise, but unexpectedly, she said instead.
"Your sister-in-law is missing."
After my sister-in-law changed into my dad's first-class cabin last night, she dressed in a fancy dress. She went out, telling my mom to sleep first, saying she wanted to experience the 'upper-class society' before leaving.
She didn't come back all night.
My brother kept calling my sister-in-law while anxiously pacing in the room, but no one answered his phone.
The banquet in the first class had long been over.
My mom was so anxious that she kept nagging at me, her lips trembling.
I had no choice but to use the broadcast to find her.
Twenty minutes after the broadcast, I pretended to calm down my parents but was also extremely worried.
It was May Day, and many people were mixing on the ship. My brother doted on my sister-in-law very much, and there couldn't be anything accidental happening to her, according to her parents' way of handling things. As the family's anxious emotions peaked, my sister-in-law finally returned.
She wore a short black dress with sequins, which was too tight, highlighting her well-proportioned figure, paired with dark purple high-heeled sandals and without stockings. She looked tired and walked a little unsteadily; her hair was also messy, making it unclear what hairstyle she had done last night.
