Xia Dalang's face flushed red, and he nodded indignantly: "Dad, this marriage with Jinhua was a mistake. The Dai family is just richer, but Dai Sanlang is really no good!"
Liu had just returned to her room after sending her daughter and son-in-law away when she heard the end of the conversation. She couldn't help but feel a little angry:
"Da Lang, how could you say that about your brother-in-law? Even though Dai San Lang is a bit arrogant, he wouldn't let you say such things!"
Xia Youcai said, "This is not Dalang's fault. You didn't hear what Dai Sanlang said."
Liu laughed disdainfully: "Today our Jinhua is returning home. Even if Jinhua's son-in-law is stupid, he can't say anything unpleasant!"
Xia Dalang was so angry that smoke was about to come out of his head: "Mother, Dai Sanlang asked us to help him and ask Lihua to be his concubine."
"What?"
Liu couldn't believe it. After hearing this, she thought she had heard it wrong.
"Oh my god, there seems to be something wrong with my ears. Dalang, what did you just say?"
Xia Dalang spoke clearly, emphasizing each word:
"Dai Sanlang, under the influence of alcohol, told me today that one should marry a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine.
Jinhua is a virtuous woman, he is very satisfied with her, and the Dai family is also very satisfied.
Unlike Lihua from the fourth room of our family, who has a beautiful appearance but lacks any of the virtues of a woman."
Liu said, "Isn't this quite sensible?"
Xia Dalang sneered:
"At first, I thought he was going to praise Jinhua. But why drag Lihua into this for no reason? I didn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, he then said with a flattering face that although Lihua did not have the virtues of a woman and was not suitable to be a wife, she could be a concubine.
Let our family come forward and ask Lihua to be his concubine!
If he could do so, he would be grateful for the friendship of his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and eldest brother-in-law;
If you can't do that, then Jinhua is not virtuous!"
"What? Did he really say that? This bastard! Jinhua has only been married to him for a few days, and he's already thinking about taking a concubine? And the one he's thinking about is his own sister-in-law!
It seems that the Dai family lied to our family!
In fact, it was Lihua who didn’t like their family, not them who didn’t like Lihua! "
Liu was so shocked that she couldn't help but talk incoherently for a while.
Xia Dalang said, "I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid Dai Sanlang is a bit confused. What if he treats Jinhua badly?"
"You can't ask Lihua to be his concubine!
Look at Lihua's enchanting appearance! That face and figure, it's obvious that she is restless!
If she gets favored by then and continues to monopolize the man, how will Jinhua put her face?"
Xia Dalang couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed deeply:
"Mother, what are you thinking about? Lihua and Dai Sanlang have met before.
Even Lihua, the wife of the emperor, didn't like him, so how could she possibly agree to be his concubine? "
Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
She was so concerned that she became confused and easily panicked when encountering things related to Jinhua.
After hearing what Xia Dalang said, he finally realized what was going on and felt a little uncomfortable.
"So, Jinhua spent all this time picking and choosing, and in the end she picked up something that Lihua didn't want?"
She said bitterly:
"No wonder your aunts looked so strange when I told them that our Jinhua had married into a good family! It turns out they all knew that Dai Sanlang was a piece of shit!"
When Liu said this, she had forgotten that when she told the Xia family about Dai Sanlang, all the previous ceremonies had been completed and even the official wedding date had been set.
Even if the Xia family had any objections, it was too late.
In that situation, who would offend her and tell her that her beloved son-in-law is actually a piece of shit?
Liu turned the mill for a long time and complained to the old couple again:
"In the final analysis, it's because your grandparents were too stingy. The dowry I bought for Jinhua wasn't up to par! Otherwise, how could Dai Sanlang have the guts to do this, even for the dowry?"
Xia Dalang sighed, sat down, and covered his face with his hands.
At this moment he felt an indescribable deep fatigue.
After living for so many years, Xia Dalang discovered for the first time that his mother didn't seem to be much smarter than his second aunt Sun:
"Mom! Haven't you noticed yet? Jinhua, this son-in-law, is a bit clueless!
You can't reason with him!
A normal person, no matter how lustful he is, the kind who sleeps in a brothel with a prostitute every day and is reluctant to go home, would not tell his brother-in-law that he wants to take a concubine when he returns to his parents' home on the third day!
What's more, the one he was thinking about marrying was his wife's cousin!"
Liu panicked again:
"What should I do? Jinhua is a new bride, how could she have met someone like this? How about I let Jinhua move back home?"
"Nonsense!" Xia Youcai yelled, his face extremely grim. "A daughter once married is like spilled water. Jinhua is already a member of the Xie family, how can she move back home?"
His body had been severely damaged by this hard labor, and even now, he had not regained his former plump figure. Instead, he looked more like a piece of skin covering a skeleton, dry and thin.
At this moment, his eyes, sunken in their dark sockets, burst into blazing anger:
"It's like a tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog! All the cats and dogs are bullying me!"
Looking at Xia Youcai's expression, Liu didn't dare to speak, but she still didn't react. She always felt that Xia Youcai's words were too heartless.
Xia Youcai said:
"Da Lang, if Dai San Lang brings this up again, tell him it's a difficult matter and we need to think it over. Don't just reject him outright; drag him along."
Xia Dalang looked at Xia Youcai in confusion, but Xia Youcai turned to Liu:
"Jinhua is a proud and young girl. If she knew about this, she might quarrel with her son-in-law. You should persuade her to be patient for a while and wait and see how her father will vent his anger!"
Xia Youcai pondered for a moment and then said:
"As for Lihua, Liu, don't let anything slip. If Dai Sanlang insists on this matter, call Lihua home and let Dai Sanlang take advantage of her, but don't let him actually succeed."
Xia Dalang said angrily:
"Dad, this won't do. It goes against the teachings of the sages. Even if we're at odds with the Fourth House, we can't plot against Lihua like this!"
Xia Youcai glared at him and said, "The sages are teaching you to teach your father a lesson?"
Xia Dalang lowered his head and said unconvincedly, "But this can't be done this way!"
Xia Youcai snorted and scolded:
"Why can't we do this? What should I do if I haven't even finished what I'm saying? You've just heard the first sentence and you're already making excuses. That's clearly unfilial!"
