The moment Xie Zhuo laughed out loud, Wang Cuilan's face immediately turned visibly ugly.
"Third brother, are you just going to let your wife insult your aunt like this?" Wang Cuilan glared, spitting as she spoke. "No matter what, I'm still your elder!"
Xie Zhuo took a step back with some disdain, and pulled Xu Yan back as well.
Wang Cuilan was provoked by his action again, and her voice was even louder than before.
At this time of day, many families have just finished eating, and because of the hot weather, most are sitting in the shade by the front door to cool off.
Hearing the commotion at Xie Zhuo's door, those who lived nearby couldn't resist braving the scorching sun and running over to see what was going on.
Ever since Xie Zhuo took her son Xiao Shuanzi for a few rides on his bicycle and helped organize the wedding banquet, Li Aihua has become closer to Xie Zhuo and Xu Yan and his wife.
Although she had spoken up for Xie Zhuo before, her bias today was even more obvious.
He walked straight over and stood next to Xu Yan, his eyes scanning Wang Cuilan up and down.
“It’s true that you can’t do without an elder in the family,” Wang Cuilan said, raising her voice as more people gathered.
"We could accept that you didn't invite us to your wedding, but we said we'd come to visit after we found out. Who knew you'd still treat us like this?"
"I am, after all, your elder!"
Although the people around didn't know the cause of the incident, they immediately understood what had happened when they saw the attire of Wang Cuilan and the other two, and some of the older people recognized Zhao Daman.
"What's going on?" someone asked.
“They’re just here to freeload,” said an aunt who lived diagonally across from Xie Zhuo’s house.
"No way, she seemed to be speaking very sincerely," the person said again.
"Is this what you call true feelings?" the aunt said again. "If it's true feelings, why didn't they come when the two elders of the Xie family passed away? Why haven't they visited even once in all these years? But as soon as they heard that Xie Laosan had money, they came over."
The man nodded.
The woman added, "Besides, I've seen this person before; he came to ask for money once..."
Through this aunt's words, the others around her roughly understood some of what had happened before.
When he looked at Wang Cuilan's family, his face showed some disdain.
Wang Cuilan was unaware that she was still yelling at Xie Zhuo, and when she got excited, she even turned around and tried to find someone behind her to interact with her.
But to her surprise, the onlookers didn't say a word and just watched her perform a one-woman show.
"I also heard that you spent several hundred dollars to marry..."
Before Wang Cuilan could finish speaking, Xu Yan interrupted her again with a laugh, "Stop, stop."
Wang Cuilan shut her mouth and glared at her.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Xu Yan reached out and rubbed his ear, his smile becoming a little impatient. "Is there anything else you want to say? I've heard too much about this topic lately, it's getting a bit annoying."
Wang Cuilan didn't know what the first half of her sentence meant, but when she understood that Xu Yan said "annoying," her face instantly turned even uglier.
“First of all, Xie Zhuo spent his own money on me,” Xu Yan said, looking at her. “No one has the right to tell me what to do. Secondly…”
Her expression changed slightly, and her eyes turned a little cold. "Instead of standing here making up relatives, you'd be better off going home and washing your face. We have things to do at home, so we won't keep up with your act for others. Goodbye."
Xu Yan was about to close the gate when she spoke.
Wang Cuilan became somewhat anxious upon seeing this.
They stood at Xie Zhuo's door for less than ten minutes at most, and not only did they not even get inside, they were also repeatedly humiliated by this brat.
This was completely different from the scene she had imagined last night.
In her mind, today, she was there as an elder of the Xie family to find fault with the new bride and make her prepare a good meal for the three of them. If the food wasn't good, she had already planned how she would scold her.
result……
"Third brother," Wang Cuilan looked at Xie Zhuo, who was standing silently to the side, "Aren't you really going to do anything about your wife?"
As soon as she said that, Xie Zhuo glanced at her and then slowly said, "In our family, my wife is the one in charge. Whatever she says goes."
Wang Cuilan was so angry she almost fell backward.
Other onlookers who didn't know about their past might have said a few words in their defense, but now that they know, they don't want to get involved at all.
I just want to watch the excitement quietly for a while and then go back for a nap.
It seems the excitement is almost over, and everyone is turning around and walking back.
However, we still chatted about Xu Yan a few times on the way.
The main thing is that I really didn't expect that this young Xu, who used to be like a docile clay figure, would become so formidable.
They really are in charge!
Xie Laosan has really fallen into a trap.
After the onlookers left, Xu Yan slammed the gate shut without a word, and Xie Zhuo used the bolt to lock the gate. The two of them left the gate without looking back.
No matter how much Wang Cuilan knocked from outside.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao followed them to the pear tree, but halfway there they turned back to look at the gate.
"Third Uncle," Da Bao tugged at Xie Zhuo's sleeve.
"Hmm?" Xie Zhu looked down at him.
“I’m scared,” Da Bao said.
To be honest, Xie Zhuo really has no experience in raising children. In his previous life, he completely let his children grow up without any care. In this life, he is a little more attentive than in his previous life, but he still doesn't pay attention to small details such as whether the child will be frightened.
Hearing Da Bao say that, he realized that Xiao Bao had also tugged at his clothes at some point.
