The people blocking the doorway were relieved when they saw him; the newcomers all looked fierce and menacing, and they were afraid.
This guy looks a bit silly, so he should be easy to talk to.
"Groom, what brings you here today?" You can't tease the elders, but you can tease those of Suti's generation.
Moreover, they had already been instructed not to be so easy to take people away.
"I'm here to pick up my wife." Li Baichuan wasn't annoyed at all, and even tried to put on a smile.
But his ambiguous smile scared the people on the other side; they all felt that he was up to something bad.
"Come on...come on, who is your wife? Shout out her name!" The group encouraged each other, determined not to back down despite their fear.
“My wife’s name is Su Ti.” Li Baichuan’s eyes lit up when he mentioned his wife, which made the people on the other side even more uneasy.
"Since you're going to marry our sister, we need to test you a bit, otherwise we won't feel comfortable entrusting her to you."
The guards at the entrance felt they were about to lose control, but fortunately, they were only at the first step. The real key was that the brother-in-law was waiting inside.
They only needed to complete the basic tasks. The group made Li Baichuan pay a little money, giving him a lot of wedding candy and money, so they let them go without further insistence.
Biancheng felt very confident that he would be able to meet his sister-in-law soon.
Once inside the courtyard, they found everyone standing there smiling and watching them, without anyone stopping them, until they reached the end of the path leading into the house where a person stood.
He looked somewhat like his sister-in-law, and stood there alone, but he didn't dare to go forward.
"Brother Chuan?" Biancheng sensed something was wrong. Shouldn't the relatives on her side of the family be making a fuss about wanting wedding candy and money?
Why is the courtyard so quiet? There's a row of people standing on one side, clearing the way in the middle as if to welcome them.
No, this is a trap, definitely a trap.
"Go in!" Li Baichuan took a deep breath. He figured it was all the same whether he stuck his neck out or not. He glanced at his brother-in-law standing there.
I felt a little uneasy. I should have comforted him better back then.
"Today is my sister's big day, and I, as her brother, am happy. Seeing my brother-in-law makes me even happier."
After Su Lin finished speaking, Bian Cheng and the other people who came to pick up the bride trembled. Bian Cheng didn't know that all of them had heard of him.
That scoundrel from the Guo family is a madman; he's reckless when he goes crazy. They were all prepared beforehand, so it definitely won't be easy to take the person away from him smoothly.
They were all prepared for a fight, thinking that with so many of them, no matter how strong he was, they could take turns attacking and defeat him, right?
But now that he seems so agreeable, everyone is feeling uncertain.
"Brother, whatever makes you happy. Don't worry, I will definitely treat my wife well. Can I go in to pick her up?" Li Baichuan had no idea what his brother-in-law was up to.
However, still clinging to a sliver of hope that his brother-in-law would be easy to talk to, he put on a fawning smile.
"..."
Su Lin couldn't bear to look at him so dumbfounded. He knew perfectly well whether he was genuinely naive or just pretending.
“It’s easy to pick up my sister. I’ve always thought that the man my sister will marry will definitely be a real man.”
"Being proficient in both literature and martial arts is the bare minimum. As for you, I can't see that."
After Su Lin finished speaking, several people felt unconvinced; it was blatant disdain!
"Brother, tell me your plan!" Li Baichuan knew he couldn't escape a beating today, but he didn't care about that; all he wanted was his wife.
"It does have one advantage; it's quite straightforward." Su Lin gave a hint of affirmation, but before the other party could speak, he continued with his requirements.
"Come on, sign this." Su Lin smiled and took out the agreement he had prepared in advance from his pocket.
Li Baichuan took it and examined it carefully. The others from Biancheng next to him also looked over, their eyes widening as they looked.
Good heavens, it says on the document that if his sister is ever wronged, Li Baichuan will divorce her unconditionally, and he will not be allowed to take anything with him.
Including the children, no matter how many they have in the future, his sister must take them with her, and Li Baichuan cannot interfere with whatever his sister wants to do.
This is an unfair contract; only a fool would sign it, as it concerns a man's pride.
Which couple doesn't have disagreements? If they complain about every little thing and then threaten to divorce, what would happen? And they'd take everything with them.
What kind of family is the Li family? They took all their belongings. If they had the guts, would they dare to do it?
Oh, and the children too. They'll take them with them in the divorce. With all the money and kids gone, who would dare to get married?
If they didn't know about the Guo family's situation, they would have thought that the family was trying to scam them into marriage. What kind of girl is worth risking their lives for?
Some of them thought it would be better to just fight; no one could stand being civilized like this.
First, they said that Brother Chuan was incompetent in both literature and martial arts, and then they gave him this agreement. This is a huge slap in the face.
“It’s fine if you don’t sign. Just go back to where you came from. I can support my sister for the rest of my life.” Su Lin glanced at Li Baichuan.
His purpose wasn't the contents of the paper; he wanted to see if a man would turn against someone for the sake of saving face.
He was using himself as an example when he wrote these things; these are his bottom lines. Asking for a guarantee is meaningless to everyone else.
Even if they manage to get a great deal, what can others say if things go wrong later and they refuse to acknowledge it?
Su Lin didn't want guarantees; she just wanted to see how far Li Baichuan would go for his sister.
Could it be that because his status has changed, he will have reservations about what he does in the future? He knows how much he loves his sister.
But if that day ever comes, and he has to choose between his sister and the Li family's reputation, who would he choose?
"Give me a pen." Li Baichuan looked up at his brother-in-law, as if he understood something.
If he had lived in the countryside before, he wouldn't have done this. At most, he would have given her a warning or tested her ability to protect his wife.
Now that his status has changed, they are afraid that he will care more about the Li family in the future, and that his wife will be wronged.
Li Baichuan laughed; they would never know what his wife meant to him.
Su Lin was also taken aback. He had no intention of actually making him sign. After he had given him a warning and made him lose face, his mother would step in.
One played the good cop and the other the bad cop, so that he would never forget this moment, and that if anything really happened in the future, he would never care about saving face and would always stand on his sister's side.
Why are they signing the papers without asking anything? His mother hasn't even arrived yet!
"Brother Chuan?" The group from Biancheng were dumbfounded. He really signed it? If Marshal Li knew that his grandson had signed a contract of servitude, wouldn't he be furious?
"Brother, could you please find me a pen? I need to sign." Li Baichuan smiled and reminded Su Lin, noticing how quiet the courtyard was.
