Zhou Mingjie was hurt by his disdainful look and immediately explained, "How could that be?"
Do I have that much free time to go and complain to my father-in-law?
Since marrying Yang Hongxing, I have never visited the Yang family's home again, except for the time I returned to my parents' home for the first time.
You know perfectly well that I have a good relationship with my brother-in-law.
Just the other day, we were drinking together, and I complained to him a bit.
Who knew this kid would be so quick to speak? He relayed it back right away.
To be honest, he didn't expect things to turn out this way.
He just casually complained a few times because he was drunk.
These days, Yang Hongxing is leaving early and returning late, but she hasn't earned much money and has neglected her family.
Now I don't wait for him at night anymore; I just go to sleep on my own.
Who knew that kid's mouth was like a sieve.
I don't know what he said when he got back, but his father-in-law came knocking on the door like a firecracker the very next day.
As soon as he entered the door, he pointed at Yang Hongxing's nose and started cursing.
They even forced her to promise not to set up a stall anymore before she went back.
To be honest, he wasn't really happy at the time.
He always felt like a petty person, and that he was always tattling behind people's backs.
He wasn't actually that angry today, if Yang Hongxing had said a few kind words to him.
He then used this opportunity to back down.
To make up for what he owed her, he even planned to let her run the stall from now on.
Who knew, she would pull a huge stunt on him...
"Your brother-in-law is no good at all, and you're still getting involved with him?"
I said, why do you never learn your lesson?
The last time you had drinks with him, you became his brother-in-law.
This is even more outrageous. Your brother-in-law, who has only been in office for a few days, will have to move out immediately because of a drinking session.
"Your brother-in-law, is he sent by your enemies specifically to bring you bad luck?" Gu Yanbai said with a hint of exasperation.
No one even bothered to scold him; he's just getting old but not wise.
He usually seems quite clever, so why does he get so arrogant after just a few compliments?
Zhou Mingjie blushed, "Didn't we just run into each other?"
That guy has a sweet tongue; he kept calling me "brother-in-law," and I just... softened for a moment, didn't I?
The kid showered him with compliments like they were free, making him feel dizzy with praise.
He was thinking that now that the die was cast, it wouldn't be good to keep ignoring them.
Moreover, he is indeed my brother-in-law.
Once I let my guard down, I couldn't help but drink a couple more glasses, and then, fueled by the alcohol, I made a few sarcastic remarks.
He regrets it now, doesn't he?
Zhou Mingjie had made up his mind that he would never have anything to do with this kid again.
This is really causing a lot of trouble.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore!"
The problem is that she wants me to get a divorce now. What should I do? Zhou Mingjie was very worried when he talked about this.
"What's wrong? Judging from your tone, you don't want a divorce?" Gu Yanbai glanced at him sideways.
"I never even considered getting a divorce!"
Although he was indeed dissatisfied with this marriage that had fallen from the sky, he figured that since he was already married, he might as well make do with it.
“If you don’t want a divorce and don’t plan to have a good relationship with someone, just tell me what you want to do.”
If you ask me, it's better that they're divorced. She's a good girl, honest and hardworking.
"If it weren't for you ruining her life, wouldn't she be better off finding any random man in the village now than staying with you?"
"Yanbai, you're my best brother. I'm feeling really bad, and you're still insulting me like this?" Zhou Mingjie felt increasingly uncomfortable as he listened.
He admitted that Yang Hongxing was also a victim, but he was also wronged, wasn't he?
"Then I'll say a few nice words to comfort you?"
I've told you before that you need to be more careful when drinking outside. Don't get carried away and stop caring about your health when you're having a good time. When have you ever listened to me?
So, if something happens to you, you can't blame anyone else.
Gu Yanbai showed no sympathy for him whatsoever; he should be taught a lesson.
Zhou Mingjie had a bitter face. "After this incident, I've really learned my lesson."
"I'm really not drinking alcohol anymore!"
Gu Yanbai didn't believe a single punctuation mark of what he said. "Just tell me whether you believe it or not."
Zhou Mingjie readily changed his tune, "Then I'll drink less in the future, yes, less."
Moreover, I only drink with a few people I'm familiar with.
If anyone else asks me to drink, even if it's a grand affair with eight sedan chairs, I won't go.
Ke Yanbai, things have already come to this, what should I do?
"Why don't you help me make a decision?" He looked at Gu Yanbai with hopeful eyes.
He hadn't expected this person to be so impatient.
And it seems they've really made up their minds.
Didn't you see that he was home alone and had already tidied up his room, just waiting for him to nod so he could move his things in?
To be honest, her actions completely baffled him.
What advice can I give you?
Is it appropriate for me to meddle in your life as a couple?
Zhou Mingjie, how old are you? You should know what you want.
At most, he'd just listen to him complain.
He's not so clueless as to meddle in other people's business.
Besides, he doesn't have the time or inclination for that.
If this guy hadn't been holding him back so tightly, he would have gone back long ago.
He had been away from home for several days and was really eager to go back and visit.
After being scolded harshly, Zhou Mingjie's mind cleared up considerably.
He's right. I'm not young anymore, and I should know what I should and shouldn't do.
He glanced around, making sure no one was watching, before lowering his voice to ask,
"Yanbai, if you usually make your wife angry, how do you coax her? Can you give me a couple of tips?"
"What a joke, you think I'm trying to coax her?"
Zhou Mingjie, have you taken the wrong medicine?
"Do I look like someone who knows how to coax people?" Gu Yanbai interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
"Gu Yanbai, would it kill you to tell the truth?"
I'm in such a desperate situation, and you still have the nerve to maintain your crumbling facade?
What is your status at home? Others may not know, but how could I not know?
Just give me some honest advice; I know you have experience.
Gu Yanbai covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly, feeling uneasy. "Well, I wouldn't call it experience."
But when it comes to coaxing people, I've come up with two tricks.
Of course, our family's methods probably won't work for you.
Actually, this is very easy to solve.
If you want to continue this relationship, then just coax her!
You never used to say that you have a sweet tongue and know how to win a girl's heart, right? Now it's time for you to show off your strengths.
Go back and apologize, even just bowing your head might come in handy.
Zhou Mingjie...
He suspected that he was being subtly mocked because the man had previously boasted that he was more popular with girls than he was.
However, he really can't care about that right now.
