However, to Ye Wei's disappointment, Li Yanhong's slap did not hit Su Lixuan's face.
Instead, he slapped Lin Zhan hard on the back.
Li Yanhong: "Don't hide, I'll let you mess around!"
"It's freezing cold, and you let Li Xuan sit on a broken board like this? Aren't you afraid that she'll get cold?"
Su Lixuan said weakly: "Mom... I, I'm wearing cotton pants."
It doesn’t matter what you wear!
Whenever Li Yanhong thought about her frail daughter-in-law being dragged along by her aggressive son, she felt...
Raising her hand, she hit Lin Zhan hard again and warned him, "Don't be so careless next time! What if Li Xuan gets hurt?"
"You're worried about a dog pulling a cart, and I'm worried about you pulling a cart too!"
Zhang Guifang: “…”
Ye Wei's expression was ferocious: "..."
Zhang Guifang: "No, Yanhong, your son has been treated like a dog..."
"Shut up!" As long as Zhang Guifang was around, Li Yanhong didn't bother anyone else. She looked at her and wondered if Zhang Guifang was trying to sow discord between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
This is a clear provocation. If she can't hear it, she might as well bury her head in the snow and freeze to death.
Oh.
Zhang Guifang hasn't figured out the relationship between herself and her mother-in-law, and hasn't sorted out all the mess she has, yet she has the nerve to come in front of her and talk nonsense.
Li Yanhong: "You just said you don't know the situation at my house. If you don't know, then what are you talking about?"
"Hey, am I being unrewarded for my kindness?" Zhang Guifang didn't expect that she would get scolded for just saying something while watching the fun.
Li Yanhong simply doesn’t know what is good for her!
Zhang Guifang: "I just saw you being bullied by your daughter-in-law, so..."
"Who bullied me?" Li Yanhong looked at Zhang Guifang with disdain and asked, "Did my Li Xuan point her finger at me and call me an old fool like your eldest daughter-in-law did to you?"
"Or are you going to fight me like your second daughter-in-law did to you, finding new ways to go against me?"
Her daughter Li Xuan did nothing and listened to her obediently every day. She gave face to her mother-in-law in all the big and small matters at home.
Li Xuan never refuted anything she said.
When she was bullied outside, her Li Xuan was the first to defend her and stand up for her, not to mention her Li Xuan's contribution to this family...
Saying it is contribution is too polite.
Li Yanhong put it this way——
She put her hands on her hips and said, "Do you know what the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is? My daughter-in-law treats me well, so I treat my daughter-in-law well."
"Don't even mention asking Ah Zhan to pull the cart for her. Even if Ah Zhan isn't here today and Li Xuan really wants to play, I'd be happy to do it even if it cost me my old bones. What do you care about me?"
Who deserves a beating? Who deserves a slap on the face? Li Yanhong personally thinks Zhang Guifang deserves it the most!
It would have been fine if Zhang Guifang had been stirring up trouble behind closed doors at Lu's house, but now she was trying to sow discord within her family even when the door was open.
Pooh!
Ignoring the ferocious expressions of Zhang Guifang and her mother-in-law, Li Yanhong carefully pulled Su Lixuan up from the board.
"Don't let Ah Zhan act recklessly in the future. He doesn't know the severity of the situation. He's so thick-skinned that he doesn't feel any pain. Can you be the same as him?"
Patting her daughter-in-law's dirty pants, Li Yanhong said distressedly, "Is your butt hurting? I see you look pale from the shaking."
"Come on, hurry into the house. Mom just made some pig's trotter soup for you. Didn't you say you wanted to eat it last time? Let's drink a couple of bowls to replenish our body..."
Su Lixuan followed her mother-in-law with her head down, bowing to the Tihua forces.
It’s not that she didn’t say good things about Comrade Lin Zhan. In this situation, no matter how many good words she said for Comrade Lin Zhan, it would not make Li Yanhong happier than if she just drank two bowls of pig’s trotter soup.
She knows it so well!
Turning around, she made a gesture to Lin Zhan, saying, "Leave it to me, my brothers." Avoiding those smiling peach blossom eyes, Su Lixuan happily followed her mother-in-law into the house.
Lin Zhan shook his head and laughed: "This little heartless guy."
…
After collecting the wooden boards and ropes on the ground and sticking them against the wall, Lin Zhan was about to stand up when he felt someone standing not far away from him.
It happened silently. If he had reacted a little slower and turned around, he would have hugged the other person.
After nimbly moving sideways to create a safe distance, Lin Zhan frowned and turned around: "Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?"
Ye Wei didn't expect him to call her that, and her already unhappy expression suddenly became even uglier.
She forced a smile and said softly, "It's okay. I was just worried that you would be angry, so I came to check on the situation."
Afraid that he would be angry?
Lin Zhan's brows tightened: "Angry? What should I be angry about?"
Ye Wei hesitated to speak: "It's Li Xuan..."
"Hey, Li Xuan is young and has a delicate personality. She's used to being pampered, so she might sometimes ignore your feelings."
"She didn't mean to cause Aunt Xu to hit you because of her mischief. It's not that she doesn't care about you, and it's not that she deliberately doesn't save your face..."
"She's young and doesn't think too much. She just thinks it's fun and doesn't really mean to treat you like a dog. Don't think too much about it."
Lin Zhan raised his eyebrows: "You're talking to me about this?"
Ye Wei adjusted her attitude and smiled gently: "I am her elder sister. Although Li Xuan and I had some misunderstandings after our marriage, I have always treated her as my own sister from the bottom of my heart."
"Well, when I see her being immature, I, as her older sister, have to say a few words to help explain things."
"After all... no matter how Li Xuan looks at me or thinks of me now, I always want the best for her."
What he said was very insightful.
If Su Lixuan were here, she would have given Ye Wei the High-level Green Tea Award.
She was still drinking the hot pig's trotter soup, which was specially poured with a spoonful of chili peppers.
Who knew that Ye Wei had already awakened a new method and went around to her rear to steal her house.
Green tea behavior, caring and feeling sorry for her family gie gie under the banner of doing good for her.
It was so considerate and sensible that most people couldn't stand such tactics.
But... Lin Zhan just happens to be outside the scope of this "ordinary person".
Lin Zhan: "Since you know you are talking too much, then shut up."
"Ah?" Ye Wei didn't expect that this would be the first sentence he said.
She looked at Lin Zhan's face, which she could not find any flaws in even though she was full of resentment. She seemed to not understand how a man with such a good appearance could speak so harshly.
Yes, she had wronged him before when she exchanged brides.
But it has been so long since the incident happened. Could it be that this page of hatred can never be turned over in this lifetime?
Ye Wei's face turned pale again: "Lin Zhan, I always thought you were a decent person."
Lin Zhan chuckled: "Sister-in-law Lu, I have always thought you were a respectable person."
He looked Ye Wei up and down, his eyes cold and filled with disdain: "So don't do such disgraceful things again."
