Chapter 497 Aunt Si San reveals her true colors
When Li Xiaobing came back from buying a lot of fruits, he just happened to hear his great-grandfather say that the engagement party would be held next Sunday.
He wondered if next week would be too much of a rush.
He thought his parents would refuse, but his father said with a smile, "Okay, let's have the wedding banquet next week."
Everyone in the Li family’s living room: …
The girl's parents were too impatient! The matchmaker was talking about an engagement party, but he wanted to hold a wedding banquet.
"Haha... Let's hold the engagement party next Sunday, and then pick an auspicious day nearby to hold a wedding banquet for the young people."
Old Mu said in a loud voice, and he immediately thought that his grandson should marry the girl from the Xiao family.
"Okay, let's do as Mr. Mu said. Are there any young couples who are attracted to each other? If so, let's hold a wedding banquet together."
After the wedding was settled, Second Brother Gu went back to the hotel to busy himself. At the request of the adults, Li Xiulan also went to the hotel with him.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu stayed behind to discuss the engagement party and wedding matters with the Li family and Mrs. Li.
So Gu Jiaojiao also stayed at the Li family to eat melon seeds, and the old men didn't want to leave either.
But in front of ordinary people, they would not call Gu Jiaojiao "sister", and Gu Jiaojiao would not call them "brother".
"Xiao Su, Xiao Gu, you need to prepare a big red envelope for your second brother's wedding, right?"
"That's a must. When Ziquan and Ji Yan get married, we will also give them a big red envelope." Gu Jiaojiao said with a smile.
She was really happy. She and her second brother would definitely open restaurants in every street and alley in the imperial capital in the future.
So what her second brother needs is a woman who is knowledgeable, beautiful, and can accompany him to the top.
Instead of the delicate dodder, Li Xiulan happened to be well educated, courageous and pretty.
Unlike those trouble-making girls she had met, she didn’t know what to do if her second brother fell in love with a girl like that.
When the old men saw Gu Jiaojiao smiling, they also started laughing and chatting, without any of their usual dignity.
In fact, most of the time, the relationships between people are maintained by the desire to share.
Whether they are lovers or siblings, when they first meet, they do not have a strong desire to share with each other.
After getting to know each other, I especially want to share everything about myself with each other.
No matter what happens to you, you will tell the other person and share every detail of your life with the other person.
So Grandma Si pulled Gu Jiaojiao's hand and chattered non-stop, as if she was meeting her best friend during her teenage years.
Grandma Si became more and more excited as she spoke, and Gu Jiaojiao was also fascinated by what she heard. Su Shuoci lovingly helped them peel melon seeds and pour tea.
Mr. Si would occasionally interject a few words, and then the other old men would also say a word or two.
Su Shuoci didn't say a word from beginning to end, but just quietly poured tea and served fruit to everyone.
Sister-in-law Li Xiulan used to think that she had married well because her husband was handsome, young and promising.
He was nice to her, but now it seems that he was just nice. She was not as good-looking as that man.
He was not as delicate to her as that man was to his wife, especially the way he looked at his wife, which was so sweet that it could be drawn.
The more she looked, the more envious she became. Mrs. Li glared at her husband fiercely.
Li Xiaobing: …
What had he done wrong? His wife had always loved him to the core, saying that his scent had been deeply integrated into her body.
No matter where he went, there were threads of love entangled in her heart.
So no matter what the occasion, she always looked at him lovingly and never glared at him. What was going on?
Although he didn't understand why, he still refused to admit defeat and glared back fiercely.
He was used to being strong and wouldn't tolerate his wife not looking at him with affectionate eyes.
Li's eldest sister-in-law: ...
She shouldn't have counted on her man's tenderness. Now, let alone his pampering, she will have to coax him! Relatively speaking, her family background is not bad, and her education is not bad, but her husband is even better, and her cousins from her mother's side want to poach her! Her husband has an outspoken personality, is brave and decisive, is vigorous and resolute, and is full of adventurous spirit.
He has a strong charisma and although he is not very gentle, those girls still admire him very much.
In addition, he had an extraordinary talent for solving cases, which won him the favor of his superiors.
He was promoted quickly and became the captain and deputy director at a young age.
At the same time, this also cultivated his style of confronting difficulties head-on and not compromising.
As her husband's brilliance became more and more dazzling, she became more and more sought after by her family.
She was envied and hated by her cousins, and she became more and more prestigious, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.
Come on, just comfort him well at night.

The silent contest between the young couple ended with Mrs. Li's complete defeat. She looked at Li Xiaobing with a helpless and affectionate look.
Li Xiaobing saw his wife glaring at him with a roll of her eyes one moment and then looking at him lovingly the next.
He mouthed to her: You are sick. You are just too full. Why haven't you died of overeating?
The eldest sister-in-law of the Li family replied with an affectionate look: I didn’t eat anything. There were too many people at home and I didn’t feel embarrassed to eat.
While listening to Grandma Si talking, Gu Jiaojiao sweetly enjoyed Su Shuoci's care.
Looking at the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Li family having fun, she felt that this day was very fulfilling.
After Mr. Gu and Mr. Li had finalized everything, everyone went to Yuetai Hotel for dinner.
Li's father, Li's mother, and Li Xiaobing went with their wives and children.
The sons and grandchildren of several families went home at noon to do their own things.
When the head of the Si family returned home, he asked his eldest son to visit the ancestral hall, while he sat in the living room drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
Si Jinghao brought a few active cousins to the Si family ancestral hall, but there was only their third aunt kneeling there obediently.
"Aunt San, where is Eighth Sister?"
"Aunt San, where is our eighth sister?" Si Jinghao and his cousins asked at the same time.
Aunt Si San was flustered for a second, but soon she said calmly, "Yan Yan fainted from kneeling, so her grandfather came to take her away."
Si Jinghao immediately grasped the key words: either Dr. Ye had connections in the Si family, or his third aunt bribed the servants of the Si family.
His expression suddenly changed, and he asked seriously, "Dr. Ye came to Si's house? How did he know that Si Yan was kneeling as punishment?"
"No...no, I called my dad." No matter how smart Aunt Si was, she was frightened by Si Jinghao's sudden severity and told the truth.
"Didn't my father tell you not to leave the ancestral hall?"
"I...I...Yan Yan fainted. The situation is special and I am very anxious. So I will kneel for one more night."
Si Jinghao turned around and left without saying anything else. The young men from the Si family made faces at their third aunt as they left.
They don’t know the seriousness of the matter yet, but Si Jinghao is different, he is a criminal policeman.
Judging from this incident, there is probably something wrong with their third aunt.
