Chapter 184 The Pure-Hearted Second Brother
The Mei couple looked around as soon as they entered.
Upon discovering that the second son did not live there, and that only Jiang Ruzhen and Mei Ling lived in Shen Shuxin's courtyard, her expression softened slightly.
When Mei Ling saw her parents coming, she looked guilty. She helped Jiang Ruzhen tidy up another room, then made an excuse that she was too tired and ran back to her room to sleep.
When Mei Ling's parents saw their daughter like this, they looked at each other, sighed heavily, and went back to their room to sleep.
After returning to her room, Jiang Ruzhen couldn't help but worry about Mei Ling's parents.
It's true that as girls grow up, their hearts wander. She's not even married yet and she's already throwing herself at someone else. If it were her Xin Xin doing this, she'd probably spit out a mouthful of blood and die of anger.
Knowing that the Mei couple would definitely cause trouble the next morning, she called before dawn and summoned her eldest and second sons back from the fourth son's house.
Mei's parents barely slept a wink all night. Their only daughter had been abducted, and they found it boring to spend the New Year alone at home, so they decided to come to the capital together to look for her.
They planned to take her away after the New Year. This time, they were determined to bring her back no matter what their daughter did or how much she made a fuss.
Although the wedding is in just over two months, what's going on with the daughter living at her husband's house all this time?
Jiang Ruzhen called her two sons into the house and asked the younger son directly.
"Second brother, what will you say if your future father-in-law and mother-in-law start arguing later?"
"No way?" The second brother still held onto hope. "Meiling and I are just having a normal relationship, why are they making a scene? Could it be that they're here to demand an explanation for that incident?"
"What is it?" Jiang Ruzhen asked.
"It's that same old story. Her parents have always wanted me to be their son-in-law, haven't they? I disagreed, and Mei Ling disagreed too."
Mei Ling told me this when she came out with me. She had another unpleasant argument with her parents before she left.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruzhen fell into deep thought. The matter of finding a son-in-law to live with the Mei family had always been a source of worry for the couple.
The second son and Mei Ling are about to get married. If this matter is not resolved, the marriage will probably be very bumpy.
Both sides feel regretful. How will they maintain their relationship in the future?
The eldest brother had been listening the whole time, and he frowned as well.
Why didn't Uncle Mei and Aunt Mei have a son of their own back then?
“I know that. Mei Ling said that her mother had a severe hemorrhage after giving birth to her and was barely saved.”
Her father was terrified and secretly got his tubal ligation done. He and her mother agreed that she would be their only daughter.
When the children grow up, we'll find a son-in-law who will move in with them.
Over the years, this idea has become an obsession for her parents.
"That's really a difficult matter. If all else fails, you can just marry into the family!" the eldest son said with a smile. "Anyway, our family doesn't need any more sons."
The second brother immediately jumped up and grabbed his older brother's neck in a provocative manner.
"Why don't you become a live-in son-in-law? You're trying to get me to leave so you can monopolize Mom, right? Boss, let me tell you, don't daydream."
Even if I were to become a live-in son-in-law in the Mei family, I would bring my mother with me.
The eldest brother didn't resist and let his second brother strangle him, while he laughed heartily.
Jiang Ruzhen found it amusing; the topic of her second son becoming a live-in son-in-law no longer stirred any waves in her mind.
This is all thanks to the second son.
He's just too clingy and has a very serious Oedipus complex.
He always says he's her eldest son, following her everywhere like a child who hasn't been weaned.
So annoying.
He was always jealous of his brothers, and if she was nice to any of them, he would make a scene for ages.
However, Jiang Ruzhen was quite surprised to hear the eldest brother teasing the second brother.
It's been a while since I last saw him, and his mental state is getting better and better.
Clearly, Fang Tingting took good care of him.
"Alright, alright. You two brothers haven't seen each other in so long, and the first thing you do when you meet is start fighting." Jiang Ruzhen flicked each of them on the forehead.
After the two brothers finished laughing and joking, they sat down, and the elder brother spoke.
"Mom, you don't need to worry about us. This is just a way for my brother and me to keep in touch."
Jiang Ruzhen smiled and turned to her second son.
"I do have a good idea that can resolve the conflict between the Mei couple. But it will be hard on you, second son, as I'm worried your health won't be able to handle it."
After hearing Jiang Ruzhen's words, the eldest son understood his mother's meaning in a flash and struggled to suppress his laughter.
The second son, puzzled, asked curiously.
"What method?"
Jiang Ruzhen suddenly revealed a lewd smile and pinched the second brother's arm.
"You need to work out more, son. If you have two sons with Meiling in the future, one will take your surname and the other hers, won't that solve the problem?"
The second son was stunned and stood there dumbfounded for a long time before his entire face and neck suddenly turned bright red.
He covered his face and ran outside, shouting, "Mom, what are you saying? He's still a pure, innocent virgin!"
"That won't be the case for long!" the veteran added.
The second child's foot twisted as he stepped over the threshold, and he almost fell flat on his face.
This caused Jiang Ruzhen and the eldest brother to burst into laughter.
Having resolved the issue with the second child, Jiang Ruzhen turned her attention to the eldest child.
The eldest brother had a bad feeling and quickly got up to slip away.
"Mom, I'm going to check what's in the kitchen. It's time to prepare breakfast."
"Wait a minute." Jiang Ruzhen pressed him down. "How's it going on your end? Have you met the parents yet?"
This time, the eldest brother shyly shook his head, his ear tips turning slightly red.
"Mom, we're still in the getting-to-know-each-other phase, let's wait a while longer!"
“Okay, if you need Mom's help, just say so. Our family's current situation is not afraid of any family background.”
You must show the spirit of the eldest brother of the Shen family, bravely charge forward, and set an example for your brothers and sisters below.”
The eldest son smiled and nodded emphatically, knowing that his mother was giving him boundless confidence and support, telling him not to be afraid of the shadows of the past and to strive to move forward.
The second son, embarrassed, covered his face and ran away, only to bump right into Mei Ling, who had just come out.
Mei Ling exclaimed in surprise, looking at Shen Zhuoyi with delight.
"Brother Yi, I was just thinking of sneaking out to find you, but my parents showed up in the middle of the night last night. What should I do?"
Looking at Mei Ling's pretty face and thinking about what his mother had just said, Shen Zhuoyi's heart pounded wildly.
He suddenly grabbed Mei Ling's hand and rushed into her room. He closed the door, pressed Mei Ling against it, and kissed her forcefully.
Shen Zhuoyi's unusual enthusiasm confused Mei Ling.
When the two of them go out, they usually just hold hands and secretly peck at each other like chickens.
Brother Yi's kiss today was a bit too intense.
After kissing for a short while, Mei Ling was out of breath. She struggled desperately and pounded on Shen Zhuoyi's chest.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."
Shen Zhuoyi quickly released her and, seeing Mei Ling's flushed face, hurriedly apologized.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lingling. I was too excited just now. Did I hurt you?"
"Could you be a little gentler next time? It's all torn." Mei Ling pouted her lips for Shen Zhuoyi to see, and Shen Zhuoyi's Adam's apple bobbed up and down twice.
Unable to resist, he gently licked her pink, tender lips again.
"Brother will disinfect it for you."
"Mmm..." Mei Ling couldn't resist the tingling sensation and accidentally let out a beautiful sound from her lips.
As if hearing celestial music, Shen Zhuoyi's body couldn't help but get excited again, just as he was about to increase the force.
The door behind Mei Ling was slammed loudly.
"Shen Zhuoyi, Mei Ling, what are you two doing in there? Open the door for me."
"Open the door, open the door..."
