Seeing how close she was, Wei Chaoyu reached out and pinched her ear:
"Or you might as well just grow your ears on your sister-in-law's body."
Huo Sitang hurriedly shook her head:
"No need for that. I'm afraid my brother's sweet talk will be too cloying. If I heard that, I probably wouldn't be able to eat for three days and three nights."
Wei Chaoyu poked her nose:
"Hey, stand still. We're not whispering. If you want to listen, then listen carefully. With your weight of just over 100 pounds, don't knock your sister-in-law over."
That's ridiculous!
Huo Sitang has indeed gained some weight recently.
But she must correct:
"Sister-in-law, I don't weigh more than 100 pounds, I only weigh 99.4 pounds, really, I weighed myself when I got up this morning."
Ninety-nine point four!
A girl's obsession with her weight is so intense that it must be accurate to the decimal point.
But soon, Huo Sitang received a barrage of complaints from her own mother:
"Yes, 99.4. I weighed myself on an empty stomach this morning. In order to get below 100 pounds, I went to the bathroom before weighing myself and forced myself to sit on the toilet for almost half an hour to clean out the dirt in my intestines so that it wouldn't add to my weight."
How true this is!
"Mom, you don't understand. The intestines and stomach are full of impurities. Some people cleanse their intestines and stomach and lose ten pounds in one go."
Huo Sitang couldn't wait to try it herself.
(This is for medical purposes only. Do not imitate it, as it will damage the body's immune system and is not advisable. Just enjoy it for fun.)
"Yes, yes, yes, you can lose ten pounds. You're so happy, you want to lose another ten pounds."
Wei Chaoyu couldn't help but sigh:
"She's been very vain lately, especially concerned about her figure. She forces herself to go to the toilet early in the morning, and when she weighs herself, she has to take off all her clothes. It's just a nightgown, how heavy could it be? It's not even as heavy as the big gold chain around her neck."
Huo Sitang subconsciously touched the delicate necklace around her neck and joked:
"Looks like I'll have to take off the necklace tomorrow; maybe I'll even lose a couple of ounces of weight."
This mother and daughter are so interesting.
Tang Li knew that they were all trying their best to ease the atmosphere.
It's such a pity that such a good family isn't related to Huo Chenyu by blood.
After the banter, Huo Sitang noticed that Tang Li wasn't really laughing; instead, his face looked gloomy. She quickly tugged at Wei Chaoyu's sleeve and asked on Tang Li's behalf:
"Mom, you just said that my sister-in-law's fake pregnancy was not only not a fault but actually a merit. Tell me what happened."
Tang Li was also curious to know where to begin with the words "thank you".
Wei Chaoyu helped Tang Li sit down on the sofa in the clinic and said to Tang Li:
"I've learned quite a bit about Shen Yu and Lin Yiyun these past few days. Shen Yu has always been a strong-willed child who doesn't like to rely on others and prefers to shoulder everything on his own. Even though he made a mistake, I, as his mother, must speak up for him. He really just wanted to protect you."
“I can see that you two are truly in love. You faked your pregnancy to stop him from making the same mistake again because you were afraid he would marry the wrong person. It concerns Shen Yu’s lifelong happiness. No matter why you lied, Mom wants to thank you for helping him stop himself from going astray.”
Tang Li felt that there was something hidden in Wei Chaoyu's words.
She looked up at Wei Chaoyu, only to see Huo Sitang adding from the side:
“These past few days, my mother has been asking me to inquire from various sources, and I finally learned from the wedding team that, ‘Sister-in-law, if you hadn’t come that day, my brother wouldn’t have married Lin Yiyun.’”
Tang Li, however, did not believe it:
"The wedding is already halfway through. If he doesn't marry me, how will we handle this?"
Huo Sitang kept everyone in suspense:
"If you want to know, sister-in-law, ask my brother yourself another day. But Mom is right. We women can allow our men to make mistakes, but we can never easily forgive these lousy men. Otherwise, they will always think that the cost of making mistakes is very low, and they will become even more unscrupulous in the future."
Is this a collective defection?
Tang Li thought they would definitely speak up for Huo Chenyu today.
The result surprised her.
Wei Chaoyu even started shipping the couple:
“Lili, to be honest, I think Lu Zhixing is a good kid, no less than our Shen Yu.”
After speaking, he looked at Huo Sitang.
Huo Sitang seemed to disagree, but she still said:
"Uncle Sheng and Dad have been rivals for their entire lives. The son he raised can't be too bad."
This is because they really didn't want to praise it, which is why they took such a big detour.
Wei Chaoyu said with a smile:
“Such a good kid, we can’t let him go. I think you could try dating him.”
Tang Li was stunned!
What's going on?
Does everyone push a wall when it's falling?
Or... a strategic retreat? A counter-offensive as a form of defense?
Tang Li was terrified by her former mother-in-law's trick.
The key point is that Huo Sitang understood her meaning and nodded in agreement:
“Sister-in-law, I think so too. I heard that you were fooled by my brother when you were in school. So many years have passed and you've only dated him. What a waste! What if another man is more suitable for you? Why don't you take advantage of the fact that you haven't gotten back together with my brother and try dating Lu Zhixing first?”
Are they... telling the truth?
"Lili, as the saying goes, a man fears choosing the wrong career, and a woman fears marrying the wrong man. As your mother-in-law, I certainly hope that you and Shenyu can love each other and live a long and happy life together. But I treat you like my own daughter. What mother in this world doesn't want her daughter to be happy? So don't be afraid, be bold and try. If you can find a better match, why nail yourself to the same cross?"
As soon as Wei Chaoyu finished speaking, Huo Sitang, with a mother's heart in perfect harmony, quickly summarized:
“Sister-in-law, what Mom means is that you don’t need to praise my brother so much. Don’t treat him like a god. What if your guardian deity is someone else?”
This mother and daughter are amazing!
Based on Tang Li's understanding of them, their love for Huo Chenyu is absolutely unshakable.
But the fact that they dared to so confidently advise her to remarry suggests that they had complete faith in Huo Chenyu.
"What if I really marry Fourth Brother?" Tang Li asked tentatively.
Wei Chaoyu said without hesitation:
"I will give you a dowry of 1 billion yuan."
“Then you’re no longer my sister-in-law!” Huo Sitang said, then immediately added, “From now on, you’re my sister.”
The sister-in-law instantly became the older sister.
Wei Chaoyu, however, said very seriously:
“Lili is older than you, so she will be your younger sister from now on. You are the older sister, so you have to take good care of your younger sister.”
"......"
Tang Li was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
In a private room of a restaurant, two old men are having a drinking contest, trying to outdrink each other.
The two men standing to the side stared at each other.
Huo Chenyu suddenly felt a cold wind blow across his back, as if someone had stabbed him hard in the spine.
