"Keep your voice down, are you afraid people won't hear you?" Zuo Shengli hurriedly advised his wife.
"So what if I heard it? Do you think I'm afraid of him? What kind of person is he?"
"Yaqin, don't be impulsive. We still don't know what he's here for. Go check on your aunt and help with the cooking. Shengli, my older brother, and I are here. We can handle anything that comes up."
“Brother-in-law is right. Today is Aunt’s birthday. If you cause trouble, how will Aunt celebrate her birthday? She’s not a child anymore. She should be patient.”
Li Yaqin's husband, Zuo Shengli, is a village chief. It's hard to understand how someone could become a village chief at such a young age, but he did it.
Moreover, he served as the village chief for decades.
Wang Tianxiao remembers from his past life that he worked from his twenties until he was around fifty years old before finally retiring.
During his tenure, he transformed their village into one of the wealthiest villages in Qingquan Town.
Not only did he set up several factories in the village, but he was also the first to complete the paving of roads to every household in the village. In addition, he organized a variety of cultural and entertainment venues, which were very popular among the villagers.
Even after he stepped down, many people were reluctant to see him go and still hoped that he would be re-elected.
Zuo Shengli is a very rational person, and he is also good at handling things. He is polite, warm and generous. In his previous life, Li Yaqin's family were poor, but he did not look down on them and always helped them as much as he could.
No matter whose family members come to their door, they will not let them leave empty-handed.
In his past life, Wang Tianxiao had many times when his children couldn't afford to go to school and he had no other choice but to go to Zuo Shengli's house to borrow money. Each time, Zuo Shengli would try to find a way to scrape together at least half of the money.
Therefore, Wang Tianxiao has always been grateful to Li Yaqin's family.
You can't blame him for being too pragmatic; he only treats others well when they treat him well.
That's just how it is for poor people.
Because so few people have helped me, I cherish every single one of them, keeping their kindness in my heart and looking for opportunities to repay them.
"Alright then, but you can't give him a nice look later."
Li Yaqin still angrily gave her husband instructions.
Li Yaqin's personality is completely opposite to Li Yali's. The two sisters are quiet and active, gentle and impulsive, which complement each other perfectly.
The youngest sister, Li Yamei, was relatively less interesting.
Li Yamei has a somewhat extreme personality. She likes to take advantage of others and is also very stingy, so she is not very likable.
When Zuo Shengli heard his wife say that, what could he do? He could only nod temporarily and finally managed to coax his wife away.
After Li Yaqin left, Zuo Shengli said to Wang Tianxiao, "Brother-in-law, what did that person want?"
Wang Tianxiao shook his head. "It's not clear yet. I haven't seen him. My brother is chatting inside. But, based on my guess, this scoundrel is probably out of control right now and came here hoping to make a quick buck."
Zuo Shengli nodded. "I think so too. When I heard Yaqin mention this last time, I found it incomprehensible. How could there be such a person? It's really ridiculous."
“Who says otherwise?” Wang Tianxiao smiled wryly. “I had the same thought when I heard it last time, but I thought he was just here to join in the fun and that there would be no follow-up. I didn’t expect him to come back, and on such a special day. Who would believe that he didn’t do it on purpose?”
"Alright, let's go in and see what that person wants. If he's easy to talk to, we'll try to get rid of him today. But if he insists on causing trouble, then we'll have to think of a way to avoid embarrassing Auntie, right?"
"That's what I meant too."
Wang Tianxiao nodded, looking at the main room, "Shall we go in and take a look now?"
"Walk."
Neither of the brothers-in-law were ordinary people, so they were not easily fooled or bullied like ordinary people.
They all wanted to meet the brother-in-law who had suddenly appeared and see what he was really up to.
The two walked into the main room together and saw a middle-aged man of about forty years old sitting in a chair, with his legs crossed, holding a teacup in his hand, blowing on the tea leaves inside with a hint of disdain.
The man was wearing a fairly well-tailored polyester jacket and black cotton trousers. His pigskin shoes were polished to a shine, as shiny as his sparse hair.
When he saw Wang Tianxiao and X come in, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Guanlin with a puzzled look.
Li Guanlin had actually heard them coming earlier and was thinking about how to deal with the person in front of him so he could go out and talk to the guests when Wang Tianxiao and the other man came in.
He smiled and introduced them to his uncle: "Uncle, this is Yali's son-in-law Tianxiao, and this is Yaqin's son-in-law Shengli."
"Oh." The uncle simply nodded.
He looks like a retired cadre.
Wang Tianxiao and Zuo Shengli exchanged glances, both seeing the mockery in each other's eyes.
They all spontaneously recalled the phrase: "What is that?!"
"Uncle."
"Uncle."
Although I felt contempt for him, I still had to maintain a certain level of politeness before turning hostile, since this person was my mother-in-law's younger brother.
Hello everyone.
Wang Tianxiao and Zuo Shengli walked over and sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). Wang Tianxiao said to Li Guanlin, "Brother, it seems that your sister-in-law wanted to see you about something. She asked you to go to the kitchen. Go and take a look."
"Okay, I'll be right there. You two keep your uncle company and talk to him."
Li Guanlin gave Wang Tianxiao a grateful look, then got off the kang (heated brick bed) and left the main room.
After Li Guanlin left, Wang Tianxiao asked with a smile, "Uncle, what brings you here today?"
