"Where's your brain? Your brother-in-law loves you so much, and you dare to talk nonsense like this." Du Feng was so angry that he waved his arms.
He sincerely felt that Li Xu and even the Li family were good to Du Sen.
Usually when Du Sen got into trouble, Li Xu would speak up for him and even bring him something from time to time.
Besides, while he was playing with Li Ju, no matter what food or drink the Li family prepared for Li Ju, they would also prepare a portion for him.
No one can find fault with this.
Moreover, although people are poor these days and don’t have much good stuff.
But they really won’t show any sign of unwelcome to guests who come to their door.
Instead, they will give you a warm welcome.
This is true for all guests, not to mention relatives.
Given the relationship between the Du and Li families, saying such words is like pointing at someone's nose and cursing them.
So before, Li Xu slapped Du Sen and Du Feng kicked him.
Even Du Sen didn't realize that there was something wrong with what he said.
This made Du Feng unable to hold back any longer, and he wanted to slap him again to wake him up.
But before he could swing it, Li Xu grabbed his arm and kept persuading him, "It's okay, it's okay. Xiao Sen is a simple-minded kid. We won't take his words seriously."
Unexpectedly, Du Sen was unhappy. "I'm not stupid, it's my second brother who is sick. He kicked me for no reason."
Du Feng wanted to pry Li Xu's hand open, but failed after several attempts. "Xiao Xu, let go. I have to teach this bastard a lesson."
"Alright, alright, why get mad at him? It's not worth it. Besides, I really don't think it's a big deal." Li Xu not only didn't loosen his grip, but pulled even tighter, practically dragging Du Feng all the way into the main hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Du Sen rushed in behind him.
He greeted everyone in the Li family, including Li Mei.
Hu Guilan and the others were stunned for a moment, but then quickly realized, "Xiao Sen is here. Sit down and rest for a while. I'll pour you a cup of hot water."
At this time, Du Sen acted very politely, with a smile on his face, "I'm not thirsty, I just came here to play with Xiaoju and the others."
After saying that, he ran to the side and started playing with Li Chen and the other two who surrounded him.
Seeing that Du Feng stopped struggling and greeted everyone, Li Xu let go of his hand.
"Sit down and have some hot water to rest." Hu Guilan poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Du Feng, then asked, "It's okay if you don't come into the house normally, but Xiaoxu is home today, so why are you embarrassed?"
She knew that Du Feng might have been trying to avoid suspicion before.
So every time he brought Du Sen here, he would leave immediately and never enter the house.
But unexpectedly, when Li Xu was at home, he still didn't want to go into the house, so he was forced to come in.
This made Hu Guilan difficult to understand.
After sitting down, Du Feng held the water cup with both hands and smiled bitterly, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood."
Then he repeated what had just happened.
After hearing this, Hu Guilan burst into laughter and advised, "We all know Xiaosen. This is not a big deal. Don't think too much about it, and don't be angry."
Seeing that Du Feng wanted to continue this topic, Li Xu quickly changed the subject, "Brother Feng, I've been so busy these days that I haven't had time to visit your house. Are Uncle Du and the others all doing well?"
Hearing this, Du Feng had no choice but to respond, "They are very nice, but they often miss you."
Li Xu smiled and said, "I just got a holiday and now I have some free time. I'll go see them tonight."
Then everyone started chatting enthusiastically.
Not long after, Du Feng asked to leave.
Li Xu sent him out the door, and when he reentered the room, he heard Li Mei's teasing voice, "I just want to see my future father-in-law and mother-in-law tonight. Is there no one else?"
Hu Guilan burst out laughing when she heard this. "Why ask? I'll definitely have to check on Xiaohong."
"Of course I want to see them all." Li Xu chuckled.
This kind of teasing is not a big deal to him, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about admitting.
Instead, he didn't know what to say to Li Mei, and finally he said, "You are so shameless."
"That's right, you are shy. How come I didn't hear anything when you said you were looking for a partner last night?" Li Xu immediately retorted.
Li Mei was immediately broken down by these words. She stood up and walked quickly to Li Xu, then reached out and pinched his waist.
Li Xu naturally couldn't let her succeed, so he quickly blocked her hand and said, "Why are you getting so angry while talking?"
Seeing the two hurting each other, Hu Guilan couldn't stop laughing, but she still stood up and pulled Li Mei away, "Okay, okay, hurry up and sit down and rest."
"Sister-in-law, listen to what he said. How could he talk about my sister like that?"
Hu Guilan looked at her with amusement, "You've already said it, why do you still care? Besides, you're the older sister, so just give in to him this time."
Seeing that Li Mei was still staring at him with big eyes, Li Xu spread his hands and said, "Why are you staring at me? Did you say that yourself? Did I speak up for you last night?"
Hearing this, Li Mei snorted lightly, "Forget it this time, but don't make fun of me about this next time."
"Look at you, you can speak for yourself, but you won't let us speak for you. Can't you just be a little thicker-skinned?"
Hu Guilan quickly said, "Xiaomei is a girl, how can you say that? If this gets out, how will she find a husband in the future? Xiaoxu, don't joke about this."
"That's right, you can be thick-skinned, but I can't be like you." Li Mei echoed.
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing. Please sit down." Li Xu was speechless.
After Hu Guilan's reminder, he realized that he really couldn't say that.
The word "thick-skinned" can have both positive and negative connotations, depending on the specific situation.
But most of the time, people think that this word is derogatory.
For example, you just met someone one day, and then heard other people say that this person is thick-skinned.
What impression will you have of him?
Especially if you say this to a girl who doesn't have a partner, it will be even more troublesome if it gets out...
"Okay, Xiaoxu has admitted his mistake, so you should calm down too." Hu Guilan said to Li Mei, then smiled. "Luckily, we didn't wake Wenbo just now, otherwise you two could have stayed here to comfort him."
Li Xu and the other two knew she was joking and immediately started laughing.
The three chatted for a while, then saw Du Sen and the others coming over and said, "Brother-in-law, can we go out and build a snowman?"
Make a snowman?
You got beaten twice but still came here. You didn't come here just to build a snowman with them, did you?
Thinking of this, Li Xu asked, "Is this why you came here in the heavy snow?"
Du Sen shook his head. "No, this is something we just thought of."
"Xiao Sen, the snow outside hasn't stopped yet. It's easy to get sick if you go out to play at this time. You'd better play inside." Hu Guilan said.
