Li Weidong originally intended to teach his younger sister a lesson, but he didn't expect to make her cry!
He only had one younger sister, so naturally he doted on her. However, since Zhou Xiaoye was a guest and had been bullied a lot at home, he always tried to help her more.
Unexpectedly, it made Li Xiaoli cry.
"I didn't say anything, so why are you crying?"
Li Weidong was speechless.
Li Xiaoli cried even harder, sobbing as she said, "You're being biased and you won't even tell anyone?"
"Ever since Ono came to our family, you and Mom have been helping her in every way, and I've become a weed that Mom doesn't want and my brother doesn't love!"
"Ono always comes first in everything. If I really bullied her, that would be one thing, but now all I said was that she gave my brother more meat, and you're all blaming me. And you still say you're not being biased!"
She cried uncontrollably, repeatedly accusing Li Weidong and Zhao Xiulian.
The two exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly.
She's supposed to be a fifteen-year-old girl, but she's still a child at heart!
Previously, Li Xiaoli was the center of attention in the family, and both of them doted on her. After Zhou Xiaoye came, upon careful consideration, they realized that they had indeed neglected her feelings somewhat.
Zhao Xiulian sighed: "Silly girl, didn't I tell you? Your sister-in-law is a guest, so we have to be more considerate of her!"
"Besides, you always say that I'm biased towards your brother and me. Apart from words, how have I been biased in any other way?"
She started counting on her fingers: "Putting everything else aside, yesterday your brother took you two shopping for clothes, who bought more?"
Li Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly turned red.
After all, yesterday's promise was to buy clothes for Zhou Xiaoye, but in reality, she bought even more.
Not only that, but Li Weidong also paid for the two books she wanted.
Even when I wanted to eat sweet buns on the way back, I bought them without hesitation.
"Well, you figured it out yourself, didn't you?"
Zhao Xiulian tapped her on the head with a finger: "You say we're biased? What part of you are you missing out on?"
Li Xiaoli burst into laughter through her tears, then pouted, "You can't keep criticizing me like that!"
How dare you say that?
Li Weidong said speechlessly, "When have we ever criticized you because you were putting your sister-in-law down? You know she's easily embarrassed..."
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"She's not shy at all!"
Li Xiaoli pouted and said, "When she's with me, she calls me 'my husband' all the time, and she talks about you all the time. She's practically praising you to the skies!"
Then, she added with dissatisfaction, "She's usually very thick-skinned in private, so how come she gets so embarrassed when I say a few words about her in front of you guys!"
"Maybe he's faking it!"
Li Weidong was stunned.
Since his rebirth, he has been thinking about changing Zhou Xiaoye's fate and making up for the regrets of his previous life. That's why he proposed an engagement so that Zhou Xiaoye wouldn't marry Zhang the Cripple again and repeat the same mistake.
In reality, he made the engagement decision himself, without asking Zhou Xiaoye's opinion.
He had absolutely no idea whether Zhou Xiaoye was willing to marry him.
After all, he still couldn't figure out whether Zhou Xiaoye liked him or was just giving up because she was forced to marry someone she didn't like.
Li Weidong had already thought it through. If Zhou Xiaoye went to university, broadened her horizons, and was no longer willing to marry him, an old man, then he would absolutely not say anything. He would just want to see Zhou Xiaoye happy.
But now, he learned from his younger sister that Zhou Xiaoye actually calls him "husband" in private!
Does that mean that Zhou Xiaoye actually wanted to marry him?
As soon as Li Weidong had this thought, his heart started racing.
He wanted to know how Zhou Xiaoye would feel if she called him "husband" to his face.
I'm even more curious about what Zhou Xiaoye was thinking when she called him "husband."
Li Weidong was stunned. Zhao Xiulian and Li Xiaoli exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
"Mom, my brother is missing his wife!"
Li Xiaoli lowered her voice.
Zhao Xiulian spat: "Why are you saying these things at such a young age? Just remember this: no matter what your sister-in-law says to you in private, you are not allowed to say anything about her in front of outsiders."
"She's just as shameless as you, but do you think she'd be the same in front of your brother?!"
Li Weidong suddenly snapped out of his daze: "What's the same?"
"It's nothing!"
Zhao Xiulian gave him a push: "Xiao Ye ran away and we don't know where she went. Aren't you going to go and check on her?"
When Li Weidong thought about how Zhou Xiaoye called him "husband" in private, his heart suddenly burned with passion, and he got up and chased after her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the house, she saw Zhou Xiaoye carrying a bucket of clothes and hurrying out.
It turned out that she had just come out of the house and hadn't gone out at all; she had been sitting in the yard the whole time!
Naturally, she also overheard the whole story of Li Xiaoli betraying her.
Upon seeing Li Weidong emerge, she immediately panicked and naturally wanted to escape.
Li Weidong quickly chased after him: "Xiao Ye, where are you going?"
"I...I'm going to the river to wash my clothes!"
Zhou Xiaoye didn't even turn her head: "Brother Weidong, don't worry about it, I'll be back after I wash the clothes!"
Normally, we would go to the river to wash clothes as soon as we got up in the morning, but today we were delayed because of planting corn, and all the family's clothes were piled up there unwashed.
Zhou Xiaoye took them all.
Li Weidong looked at her slender back and couldn't help but chuckle foolishly.
But he quickly realized something was wrong.
In the past, Zhao Xiulian was the one who washed all the clothes in the house.
It's perfectly normal for a mother to wash her son's underwear.
But Zhou Xiaoye's fiancée, whom he's only engaged to but not yet married to, came to wash his underwear...
Li Weidong's expression changed, and he ran towards the river.
This is so embarrassing!
Most importantly, the underwear he took off last night had several holes in it. Because he had been busy, he didn't have time to buy a new pair, so he thought he would just make do with it.
If Zhou Xiaoye sees this...
He dared not think any further and quickened his pace.
As for Zhou Xiaoye, he carried the clothes all the way to the riverbank, squatted down and took out all the clothes.
Villagers usually wash in the morning, but there wasn't a soul by the river at this hour. The river flowed gently, its surface shimmering in the sunlight.
Zhou Xiaoye soaked the clothes in the water one by one, but when she saw Li Weidong's underwear, she blushed with embarrassment.
Washing your man's underwear is something that feels both embarrassing and sweet to talk about...
She blushed as she looked at the underwear, hesitating for a long time before finally picking it up.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Li Weidong's roar came from afar: "Put down that pair of underwear!!!"
The sudden sound startled Zhou Xiaoye, causing him to lose his footing and slip into the river!
The river wasn't wide, but the water was deep and swift. Although she could swim, she suddenly fell in and panicked, choking on several mouthfuls of water. In the blink of an eye, she was swept far away.
Li Weidong's eyes widened in fury: "Xiao Ye!!!"
As he spoke, he rushed to the riverbank and plunged in!
