Chapter 24 almost made my brother-in-law die of anger
Liu Shi and Liu Lanzhi, who were standing nearby, turned green upon hearing this.
Liu Lanzhi, with a stern face, tugged at Young Master Li and said, "Husband, she's just a silly girl from a poor, remote village. She's not some celestial being descended to earth."
Young Master Li's expression immediately changed. He looked at Liu Lanzhi with a serious face and said, "How can you talk like that? She is your sister, after all."
Liu Lanzhi was scolded by her husband, especially in front of her stepsister whom she had always disliked. Her face immediately turned full of grievance. "Husband, you are my husband. How can you speak up for her?"
At this moment, Young Master Li suddenly remembered that when they got married, his father had told him that he originally wanted him to marry the Du family's foolish daughter, but his mother had changed it to the foolish daughter's younger sister.
Now, as he looked at Liu Lanzhi and then at Du Wanchun, his anger grew.
He didn't marry a celestial beauty, but instead married a plain-looking shrew.
Young Master Li grew angrier and angrier, and roared at Liu Lanzhi, "Why can't I speak up for her? If it weren't for you and your mother interfering, she would be my wife now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shi and Liu Lanzhi's faces turned even more ashen. They were both stunned and stood there speechless, like mutes.
Du Wanchun quickly helped Zhou Ruiyuan sit down to the side; she didn't want to be gossiped about by this young master Li.
Liu glared angrily at Du Wanchun, wanting to lash out, but after glancing at Young Master Li and her daughter, she immediately held back.
She stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "My dear son-in-law, come, sit down and have some tea."
Young Master Li's complexion gradually improved, and he quickly looked at Du Wanchun, bending down to sit down next to them.
Liu quickly pulled Liu Lanzhi to the back kitchen.
Just then, Du Dajiang returned. Today was the day his sons-in-law were returning to their parents' home, and he had specially bought fine wine and meat.
Upon entering and seeing his two sons-in-law, he smiled and strode up to Zhou Ruiyuan, bowing respectfully and saying, "Greetings, Young Master Li."
Young Master Li, who was drinking tea, suddenly spat it out, choking and tearing up. "Father-in-law, what kind of eyesight do you have? I am Young Master Li."
Du Dajiang was startled and didn't react for a moment. He hurriedly and hastily changed his address to the fat and big-eared young master Li, saying, "Greetings, son-in-law."
Young Master Li's expression improved considerably. He glanced at Zhou Ruiyuan beside him and said sarcastically, "Father-in-law, your eyesight is really bad. How could you mistake that poor lad for me?"
Du Dajiang apologized repeatedly, saying that his old eyesight was failing and he had misunderstood.
He turned his gaze back to Zhou Ruiyuan, still in disbelief. He never expected that Zhou's disabled son would be so handsome. For a moment, his guilt towards his daughter lessened.
"Are you the eldest son of the Zhou family?" Du Dajiang asked Zhou Ruiyuan.
Zhou Ruiyuan slowly stood up and gave him a simple bow, saying, "Greetings, Father-in-law."
Du Dajiang was startled again when he saw the tall, imposing man standing in front of him, who exuded a refined air. "Isn't your leg crippled?"
Zhou Ruiyuan replied, "Father-in-law, my leg is indeed crippled, but it has improved a lot recently, and I can barely stand up."
Du Dajiang nodded with satisfaction.
Young Master Li, standing to the side, began to mock again, "So he's not only a poor wretch, but also a cripple."
Having said that, she raised an eyebrow at Du Wanchun and said, "I say, is my sister-in-law going to live the life of a widow?"
His words were extremely flippant, and Du Wanchun rolled her eyes and sneered, "You can't possibly understand what my husband is like, so there's no need for you to worry about it, brother-in-law."
Young Master Li took out his fan, fanned himself, crossed his legs, and said, "I think he's just a good-for-nothing."
Du Wanchun was quite displeased and raised her voice to mock, "Young Master Li, you know so much, could it be that you have some homosexual tendencies and can tell at a glance that my husband is a good-for-nothing?"
Startled, Young Master Li lost his balance while crossing his legs and fell off the chair.
The large piece of fat fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Du Dajiang quickly helped him up. "Oh! My dear son-in-law, are you alright?"
Young Master Li gritted his teeth, his fan trembling with anger, pointing at Du Wanchun, wanting to curse but unable to utter a word, "You..."
Du Dajiang quickly reassured him, "My dear son-in-law, don't be angry. We're all family."
After saying that, he didn't forget to glare at Du Wanchun.
Du Wanchun had long known that her father was biased, but she didn't expect it to be to this extent. Oh well, she had already given up on him anyway.
She was too lazy to eat there, and said directly to Du Dajiang, "Father, did my mother leave me a pair of silver earrings and a pair of hairpins before she died?"
Du Dajiang was taken aback. He then realized that his silly daughter was different. She used to be silly and always obeyed him, but today she seemed completely different. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, your mother only left you that wedding dress before she died."
Du Wanchun stood up and said seriously, "Father, I remember clearly that Mother left me a pair of silver earrings and a pair of red hairpins, which she left for me to use when I got married. How can you say that you didn't have them? Do you want to keep them for yourself?"
The pair of silver earrings and the hairpin had already been given to Liu by Du Dajiang.
