Chapter 152: They’re All Relatives
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
William was thinking about the numbers when he saw a ghost-like auntie floating over from the corner of his eye. She was even wearing a red dress. He was so frightened that he almost jumped up! He took a closer look. Oh, so it was a person, not a ghost. He heaved a sigh of relief.
The woman in red sat on the chair beside him and let out a tired sigh. She leaned against the back of the chair and looked very tired.
Amelia exclaimed and walked over. “It’s you again, Auntie.”
Emma also looked over and asked, “Who is it? Mia, do you know her?” Lucas narrowed his eyes. “It’s the parent of the girl who cut the queue just now.”
The woman in red turned around weakly and was stunned for a moment when she saw Amelia and the others. Then, she said, “It’s you…”
Amelia stared at the evil spirit on the red-dressed woman’s shoulder. Seeing that Amelia was looking in the wrong direction, William subconsciously asked, “What’s wrong?
Amelia leaned close to William’s ear and whispered, “Brother, there’s a female ghost lying on this auntie’s shoulder…”
William: “…” He exploded! His hair stood on end!
Amelia looked at William, who had changed positions in the blink of an eye, and asked curiously, “Brother, what’s wrong?
William’s lips twitched. “Nothing. It’s windy over there. I’ll go somewhere else.”
The woman in red smiled tiredly. “I’m sorry about earlier…”
Amelia shook her head. “Auntie, what’s your name?
The woman in red leaned against the chair and hunched over as if she had been crushed. She said, “My name is Ashley Sheen.”
Emma looked at Ashley strangely. “Then, Auntie, why did you bring that girl to
Happy Valley to play?” This auntie seemed to be quite easy to get along with. Now that she was so tired, she was probably tired from bringing that disobedient girl.
Amelia nodded as well. “That’s right. Why did you come with her? Aren’t you always with good friends when you come to Happy Valley? Why do you want to play with someone you don’t like?” She felt that Aunt Ashley didn’t seem to like that girl or that old Grandma.
Ashley pursed her lips and looked resentful. “I don’t want to play with them either, but they are my husband’s relatives and insisted on coming to Happy Valley to play… I didn’t even bring my daughter to Happy Valley…”
Amelia was puzzled. “Since you don’t want to play with them, why don’t you reject them?”
Ashley shook her head. “We’re all relatives. It’s not good to reject.”
Amelia nodded and shook her head. The world of adults was so difficult to understand. She did not like it) but she did not reject it. Why did she have to force herself?
William, who was more logical, caught the main point of Ashley’s words and asked curiously, “Since they’re your husband’s relatives, why didn’t your husband bring them here?”
Ashley’s tone was a little angry. “My husband said that he’s fishing and doesn’t have time to come!”
Amelia and the others were stunned. Fishing? That was a little strange. It would be fine if he was busy with work and could not come, but fishing was not work…
Emma frowned. “Since your husband isn’t coming, you don’t have to come either. Don’t spoil them.” Just like how her Grandma said that if she didn’t eat, so be it. Don’t spoil her. In the end, she still ate obediently.
Ashley sighed. “Forget it. I don’t want to quarrel with him. I still have work to do. Arguing will affect my mood too much. I can’t focus on work. My husband doesn’t work. If I don’t work, how can I eat at home? So I don’t want to quarrel at all.”
Amelia and the others were speechless. This logic was so strange. The people who worked to earn money to support their families actually had to deal with the little things. Shouldn’t the people who worked earn money and the people who didn’t work bear more responsibility?
Amelia asked, “Auntie, aren’t you going to work today?”
Ashley shook her head. “I’m a novelist. My working hours are free. I can write a manuscript when I go back at night.”
Lucas was speechless. He had originally thought that this auntie was a housewife who did not earn money, so she had to listen to others. No matter how unhappy she was, she had to bring her husband’s relatives out to play. He did not expect her to be the one who earned money at home! How could the person who earned money live so aggrievedly? He did not understand.
At this moment, the old lady brought the girl over. When she saw Amelia and the others, she immediately snorted. “How unlucky.” The old lady looked around and saw that the chairs in the surrounding rest area were all occupied. William was originally sitting on Amelia’s left. After changing seats, Amelia and Ashley were next to each other with a little space between them. The old lady said, “Move over a little and give us a seat..”
