Chapter 106: Brother-in-law?
Chapter 106: Brother-in-law?
"I'm Back in 1990," a masterpiece by Sijiucai (Four Seasons Leek), is available to read now!
Upstairs in the Yu family, Yu Wei's mouth was agape for what felt like forever. The news was just too damn shocking. When did that bastard Ah Huang get together with his older sister?
In stark contrast to Yu Wei's reaction were Zheng Aiying and the Yu couple.
Zheng Aiying asked Yu Xiang with a look of surprise and delight, "Is this true?"
Yu Xiang nodded, blushing. "It happened in the second half of last year."
"So that's why Xiao Chuan's uncle sent so many things to our family and even sent a car to bring you back. Oh, that's why!" Zheng Aiying suddenly realized.
Old Yu, concerned for his future son-in-law, asked, "Why hasn't Xiao Chuan come back? Is he too afraid to come back and see us? Don't worry, I'm more than happy to approve! Hahaha!"
"No, his family is spending the Spring Festival in Suzhou this year, and he still has some things to finish at school, so he doesn't want to travel back and forth," Yu Xiang explained for Huang Xiaochuan.
At this moment, Yu Wei stepped forward to express his opinion, but before he could speak, his mother stopped him: "Shut up, listen to your sister first, I'll ask you about it later."
Yu Wei could only purse his lips in dissatisfaction and retreat dejectedly.
Yu Min was initially incredulous when she heard the news. Suddenly, the annoying Huang Xiaochuan had changed his identity and become her soon-to-be brother-in-law? Did her older sister have bad eyesight?
However, Yu Min quickly dismissed the idea. Upon reflection, she realized that Huang Xiaochuan had many good qualities. Not to mention his good looks, he was also a great cook.
She had just decided on him and was trying to consider her parents' advice when her older sister beat her to it. It had to be her older sister! Her taste was just different from everyone else's; she actually found a boyfriend three years younger than her.
"Does your Aunt Zeng know?"
Yu Xiang said apologetically, "He should know by now. How could Xiao Chuan's uncle not tell Aunt Zeng?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone knocked on the door.
Yu Min, who was closest to the door, opened it and saw that the people who came in were Uncle Huang and Aunt Zeng.
Upon entering, Zeng Lijuan greeted Mr. and Mrs. Yu with a beaming smile: "Mr. Yu and Mr. Zheng, I've come to apologize to you. Look at what my son Xiaochuan has done!"
Old Yu quickly greeted Old Huang, "Old Huang, please sit down. I'll make you a good cup of tea."
Old Huang quickly stopped him, saying, "We're all family, don't be so polite. I never expected this! I really never expected this!" Old Huang sighed, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Zheng Aiying smiled so much her eyes narrowed into slits, and quickly gestured for Zeng Lijuan to sit down.
Although Yu Xiang was a little embarrassed, she took the initiative to step forward and greet them: "Uncle Huang, Aunt Zeng!"
Old Huang smiled broadly and nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"
Zeng Lijuan grabbed Yu Xiang's hand, overjoyed: "Good child, I really didn't expect my silly boy to be so lucky."
At this moment, Zheng Aiying laughed and said, "Old Yu and I have liked Xiao Chuan since he was a child. I never thought we would actually be together. It's such a wonderful thing that he and my Yu Xiang have become a couple!"
Both sets of parents shared the same thoughts on this matter. Generally speaking, parents attach great importance to their children's future marriage and have all sorts of worries and anxieties.
For example, what is the character of the future daughter-in-law or son-in-law? Do they get along well with the mother-in-law or father-in-law? Will they be mistreated in someone else's home? Will there be conflicts between the couple?
However, if the two children have known each other since childhood and their parents know them well, it would be a wonderful and comforting marriage if they could get together. This is because their families are familiar with each other and have known each other's temperaments and personalities for so many years, so there would be virtually no conflicts like those that occur in other people's marriages.
For Zeng Lijuan, Yu Xiang is a daughter-in-law she has watched grow up, so she no longer needs to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, since it is very rare for them to get along well.
Zheng Aiying had similar thoughts, fearing that her daughter would suffer if she married into another family. Now that Yu Xiang and Huang Xiaochuan were together, it was exactly what she wanted. This was the son-in-law she wanted, and she didn't have to worry about her daughter being mistreated in the future.
Only Yu Wei and Yu Min stood together, staring at each other blankly. It seemed that Huang Xiaochuan becoming their brother-in-law was a done deal, but they still couldn't quite accept it.
"It's such a joyous occasion! I was almost too embarrassed to come see you when I found out, but then I thought, what a wonderful thing this is! I really never imagined that Yu Xiang could become my daughter-in-law. I'm so happy I could laugh in my dreams."
"If my son ever dares to bully Yu Xiang again, you and Old Yu can deal with him as you see fit, I won't let him off the hook."
"I can't bear to part with him! I love such a wonderful son-in-law more than I can handle!"
The two new mothers were overjoyed today; it was truly a joyous occasion, a shared celebration for both families.
Fathers weren't idle either, but they expressed their joy in a different way than mothers.
Old Yu suggested, "Today is a joyous occasion, why don't we have dinner together to celebrate? Old Huang and Old Zeng, you two stay, I'll have my husband Zheng prepare a few dishes, and we'll have a good drink tonight."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Aiying immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, you and Lao Huang can drink until you drop tonight. I'll go and make the preparations."
Although Lao Huang can't hold his liquor, he still has to drink today.
He added, "I'm going back to get a bottle of Wuliangye; I want to drink something good today."
Zeng Lijuan rolled up her sleeves and said to Zheng Aiying, "I'll help you with that."
Zheng Aiying smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it together."
"Yu Min and Yu Wei, you two go and buy some groceries for me." He casually instructed the siblings who were watching the commotion to go out and help them buy groceries.
After the siblings left, Yu Min angrily tapped Yu Wei's head with her finger, but she tapped it so hard that Yu Wei's head tilted to one side.
"What good are you? You went to school in the same place as them, and they got together and you didn't even know? Is your brain just for breathing?"
Yu Wei said aggrievedly, "How would I know? They're not even from the same school as me."
"I think you're blinded by love. If you saw them regularly, you would have noticed by now."
"Why are you putting all the blame on me? Mom and Dad don't object, why are you reacting so strongly?"
"I feel uncomfortable just thinking about that Huang family kid becoming my brother-in-law in the future." Yu Min's face showed a hundred degrees of displeasure.
"Do you think I'm happy about this? But my eldest sister is willing, and Mom and Dad are willing too. I think we should stop worrying about things that aren't our business." Yu Wei had figured it out. There was no use in not figuring it out; he could tell just by looking at the attitudes of both families.
"Hmph! Anyway, don't expect me to call that kid brother-in-law anymore."
Yu Wei was also annoyed. What should he call Huang Xiaochuan if he married his older sister? He really couldn't bring himself to call him "brother-in-law." Huang, you unlucky thing, why did you have to date my older sister of all people?
This kid must have had this in mind for a long time. No wonder he didn't accept Qin Yu's advances back then. It turns out he had his eye on my older sister, and I was still clueless.
The more Yu Wei thought about it, the angrier he became. He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he kicked a pebble on the roadside far away, pretending that the pebble was that bastard Huang Xiaochuan.
