Chapter 594 Xu Minghui, a man must have his own responsibilities!
Jiang Yubai's irresponsible joke successfully diverted the attention of everyone present, young and old.
In just a moment, Xu Minghui, who had been smiling and saying little, instantly became the focus of everyone's attention and the well-deserved target of public criticism.
Seeing the others gathering around him, Jiang Yubai knew that if he stayed here any longer, Xu Minghui would most likely kill him. He grabbed his job and ran away!
Xu Minghui looked at Second Aunt Xu with a sullen expression, feeling exhausted and holding his forehead with his hand. "Mother, please listen to my explanation. I..."
"What on earth have you been doing behind our backs for over a year, you little bastard?!"
Second Aunt Xu was beyond wrath.
Having experienced her own bad husband, Second Aunt Xu was extremely strict in the supervision and education of her two sons. She was afraid that they would bring disaster to a good girl or cause another unfaithful and heartless behavior.
But who could have imagined that such a steady man like Xu Minghui would actually do such a stupid thing as getting married to someone secretly!
Aunt Xu was so angry that she was about to pull Xu Minghui's ears.
Xu Wenxiu and Aunt Xu hurried to stop them. Xu Wenxiu said with a smile, "Minghui is not young anymore. If he has a girl he likes, it's time for him to consider starting a family."
"Yeah, second sister-in-law, why are you so anxious?"
Xu Wenxiu turned around and glanced at Xu Yu and Sang Zhixia with reserved pride, and said jokingly, "Our children's marriages are determined by fate. What we, as elders, think is good may not necessarily be suitable."
"Look at my Yu'er and Xia Xia. If Yu'er hadn't been so stubborn and refused to change, how could they have the good life they have today?"
Sang Zhixia hadn't expected the melon to bite her. Her ears flushed, and she decisively changed the subject to Xu Minghui: "Speaking of which, who is this Nan Weiwei?"
"Minghui, have you really reached the stage of secretly getting married?"
Xu Yu, who was given a hand by Xu Wenxiu, smiled reservedly, and said with a hidden sense of pride and disapproval: "You are a man, you should act openly and honestly. What's the point of hiding?"
"Yes, yes."
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "You should really learn this from your eldest brother."
"If you really like her and she likes you, then don't have too much contact before your relationship is finalized. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to her reputation. We can propose marriage openly!"
“That’s right!”
Aunt Xu put her hands on her hips and said, "It's only proper to be open and honest!"
"Think about your eldest brother. He was beaten to death by your grandfather just to marry your eldest sister-in-law, but he refused to change his ways. That's what responsibility is!"
"How dare you do such a stupid thing as secretly marrying a bad girl?"
The crowd that rushed over kept talking, and in the blink of an eye, they had already convicted Xu Minghui of disregarding morality and ruining the girl's reputation.
During this time, there was also Xu Yu, who was watching the fun and didn't mind stirring up trouble. He kept fanning the flames: "Second brother, I'm not saying anything to you, but you really can't do this."
"A girl's reputation is very important, don't you know that?"
"Back then, I had a crush on your sister-in-law, but I didn't dare to say a word. She didn't even know I existed. It was only after I'd been married for a long time that she realized I had already fallen in love with her. That's what makes me a man, don't you understand?"
Xu Minghui: “…”
Sang Zhixia: "..."
Although Xu Minghui's melon was really delicious, Sang Zhixia really wanted to listen to some more fun.
But intuition told Sang Zhixia that she could not sit there any longer.
The invisible tail behind Xu Yu has already risen up!
Sang Zhixia didn't want to give Xu Yu any more room to perform, so she decisively covered Xu Yu's mouth and stood up, saying, "Xu Mingyang and the others haven't had time to clean up their used fishing nets yet. Let's go and pick them up."
Xu Yu didn't want to go.
Xu Minghui has always been good at watching the fire from the other side of the river. When he was beaten half to death by the old man, this man went to his bedside under the pretext of visiting the patient and mocked him.
Xu Yu clutched the quilt, endured the pain with difficulty, smiled and said nothing.
but!
Doesn't mean he doesn't hold a grudge!
Xu Yu, who was very vindictive, pushed away Sang Zhixia's hand covering her mouth and added fuel to the fire with one last sentence: "Xu Minghui, a man should have his own responsibilities. You can't shirk your responsibilities."
"You're almost there."
Sang Zhixia pinched Xu Yu's arm and squeezed out a warning through his teeth.
Facing Xu Minghui's grateful eyes, Sang Zhixia suppressed a smile and said, "May the best of luck to you, second brother."
Xu Yu was carried away by Sang Zhixia while he couldn't hold back his laughter.
Nuonuo and Yuanbao, who like to join in the fun, sat on Xu Minghui's legs, one on each side.
The two little ones clearly didn't understand anything, but they inexplicably liked this tense and exciting atmosphere. They all looked up at Xu Minghui eagerly, their little hands tightly clutching Xu Minghui's sleeves, completely suppressing the possibility of Xu Minghui finding an excuse to escape.
As soon as Xu Yu and Sang Zhixia left, even Xu Mingyang and others joined in the chaos of interrogation.
Xu Mingyang was extremely anxious: "Brother, is my second sister-in-law pretty?"
Sang Yanyou muttered unconvincedly: "No one is as pretty as my sister!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they received nods of approval from the little ones present.
Chen Yun said shyly, "Sister Xia is just very beautiful."
"That's right!"
Xu Mingxu first echoed Sang Yanyou's rambling words, then curled his lips with a mature expression: "Second brother, I still think you were too hasty."
Xu Yanran pulled the clueless Xu Jinxi, smiling until her cheeks flushed slightly, and couldn't help but teasing, "Second brother, are you really going to get married?"
Xu Minghui: “…”
Amidst the scorching gazes of the crowd, Xu Minghui rarely felt what it meant to be at a loss.
Not far away, people who seemed to be enjoying themselves eating, drinking and chatting were also quietly listening.
Uncle Xu listened for a long time, barely hearing Nan Weiwei's words. Curious, he couldn't help but lean closer and whisper to Jiang Yubai, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb, "Young Prince, is my Xu Minghui really engaged to someone secretly?"
"I didn't realize this guy is such a person!"
Jiang Yubai smiled with some difficulty while holding the bowl, thinking that if he had known that the Xu family would react so strongly, he would not have said such nonsense!
Jiang Yubai felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Uncle Xu's eager eyes.
The old man waited intently for a long time, but couldn't help but ask curiously, "Could this be true?"
"Whose family is this girl Minghui is seeing? Can anyone familiar with her tell me more?"
Jiang Yubai bit the rabbit meat in his mouth, but it was hard to swallow. Facing the terrifying gaze of Xu Minghui not far away, who might strangle him to death, he swallowed hard. Under the curious gazes of the old prince Qi and others, he said fearfully, "I... actually know a thing or two."
The old man became interested: "Oh?"
"Could you elaborate?"
