Although Zhao Changgui is about the same age as Wang Huilian, Wang Huilian acted like an elder and asked him in a tone that seemed to be negotiating but in fact did not allow anyone to refuse, which made it difficult for Zhao Changgui to refute.
Zhao Changgui put away his angry attitude and coughed to hide his embarrassment.
"See what mother said. Say whatever you want to say."
Wang Huilian wanted to pretend to be serious and question Zhao Changgui with a firm look.
But her gaze stayed on Zhao Changgui's face for a while, and eventually moved elsewhere.
No wonder Hongmei kept complaining about not liking him, it was simply because Zhao Changgui was not good-looking.
As a middle-aged woman, she looked down on Zhao Changgui's appearance.
But now is not the time to think about this. Putting aside all these random thoughts, Wang Huilian straightened her back and tried her best to act like an elder.
"My Hongmei married into your Zhao family at the age of a flower. When she returned home three days later, she was already covered in wounds."
"I think it may be because you just got married and are not familiar with each other yet. It is normal to have some friction. As time goes by, it will get better."
"After all, you are much older than Hongmei, and you are also a person who is going through life. You should love Hongmei more, right?"
"But look at what you have done? There is no restraint between you and your wife. This is not the first time you have married a wife, but this is the first time my Hongmei has married!"
"She is young and doesn't understand. You can just teach her. Why do you beat her for no reason?"
When Wang Huilian said this, Zhao Changgui was about to argue like he did with Old Man Shen, but Wang Huilian did not give him a chance.
"Don't tell me you can't teach her. Our Hongmei is not a fool. If you talk to her nicely, will she learn it?"
"You start to curse and hit me as soon as you open your mouth. I'm scared to death. Who would still want to learn?"
Wang Huilian took the opportunity to give Zhao Changgui a good scolding.
Old man Shen who was sitting inside had a new respect for his eldest daughter-in-law.
I didn't expect the eldest daughter-in-law to speak so impolitely.
Chen Xiashu and Shen Qiushu also sat quietly at the end of the kang, not daring to say a word, watching Wang Huilian shooting at Zhao Changgui like a machine gun.
Originally, when Zhao Changgui was confronting Old Man Shen, Shen Qiushu wanted to step forward to help. He wasn't just trying to help his father, he simply couldn't stand Zhao Changgui's arrogance.
However, Li Xiaoqin held him tightly from behind.
Zhao Changgui was scolded like a grandson. He was about to get angry several times, but Wang Huilian used her status as mother-in-law to suppress him.
Zhao Changgui simply gave up and let Wang Huilian say whatever she wanted. He would not argue with the old woman.
When Wang Huilian was exhausted from talking, Zhao Changgui said with a serious face, "What does mother mean? Do you want Hongmei to separate from me?"
Wang Huilian originally wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Zhao Changgui and ask him to be nicer to Hongmei in the future.
As a result, this guy's words made her stuck.
"You...you..." Wang Huilian was very angry at Zhao Changgui's stubborn attitude.
But for Hongmei's future, she had to suppress her anger: "I said so much just to ask you to be nicer to Hongmei in the future, and to live a life of mutual consultation and not to resort to violence at every turn."
When Zhao Changgui heard this, he curled his lips and was very disdainful of what Wang Huilian had just said.
Since I still have to live with him, shouldn't he have the final say on how we live in the future?
But in order to stop Wang Huilian from nagging, Zhao Changgui also made a concession and said one word: "Middle."
Wang Huilian could not see through Zhao Changgui's perfunctory attitude. She just felt like a mouthful of blood was stuck in her chest, unable to go up or down.
This is the disadvantage of having an older son-in-law.
If it were a young man at this time, he might have been caught by Wang Huilian and felt ashamed by her words.
But for Zhao Changgui, a man who has lived for most of his life and has his own set of rules for life, as long as he can ensure that the Shen family will not let Shen Hongmei divorce him, he will be invincible.
At this time, Shen Chunshu came back from outside.
Seeing Zhao Changgui coming, Shen Chunshu felt that as a grown man, he should not get entangled in these childish matters.
I started chatting with Zhao Changgui as if he was just visiting.
Zhao Changgui no longer had to endure Wang Huilian's scolding and was happy to chat with Shen Chunshu.
Shen Qiushu, who had been holding back, finally didn't have to endure the tense atmosphere anymore and happily joined the two of them.
Chen Xiashu remained silent as always.
Wang Huilian winked at him several times, asking him to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Zhao Changgui.
But Chen Chunshu acted as if he didn't see it and happily chatted with Zhao Changgui about family matters.
Wang Huilian was so angry that she found an opportunity to call him to the outer room.
She scolded him in a low voice: "Why did you tell him all that? Why don't you take this opportunity to control him? Ask him to be nicer to our daughter in the future? But you even brought Reagan up with him."
Chen Chunshu said impatiently: "I am a grown man, why would I get involved in a couple's quarrel? How beneath my dignity!"
Wang Huilian rolled her eyes at him and said, "What kind of identity do you have?"
"You old woman..."
Shen Chunshu was about to get angry, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang Huilian.
"Alright, alright, you're a person of status, alright? But this time the couple had a fight because of something that happened at night, so find a time when no one is around and talk to him, asking him to stop touching Hongmei for the time being."
"I...you...are not...."
Chen Chunshu opened his mouth wide. He didn't expect his wife to assign him such a job. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't say anything.
How can he, a father-in-law, tell his son-in-law not to do that at night?
As soon as Wang Huilian saw his expression, she knew he was going to refuse.
Before he could speak, she said, "If you don't want to tell me, I'll tell you. You can do whatever you want!"
Shen Chunshu: . . . . . .
He couldn't let his wife tell this, after all, Zhao Changgui was the same age as him.
After being frustrated for a long time, Shen Chunshu finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll tell him."
Because there were other plans, Wang Huilian stopped Shen Chunshu who was about to go back to the house and said, "When you're done talking to him, tell me. I have something to do!"
The upset Shen Chunshu didn't care what happened to her and nodded randomly: "I know, I know, don't waste time."
Wang Huilian did not go back to the east room, but went to the west room.
He said to the nervous Shen Hongmei, "I told your father, and he agreed. As long as he tells Zhao Changgui, I'll find an excuse to call him over, and you can tell him about that."
