Chapter 254 I Really Want to Take Off My Shoes and Beat Him
"You guys are too narrow-minded. I, your sister-in-law, will always stand by your side!" Xiao Qingyan patted her chest to express her opinion.
"I seem to be convinced. No matter what, I am my aunt's little follower." Zhao Junqing did not have the opportunity to serve his aunt with meals, so he used the serving chopsticks to pick up food for the two elders.
Lu Yuning also stayed here at night. Several beasts played rock-paper-scissors. Liuliu lost and stayed in the living room to watch TV and guard the house. The other beasts went to the game hall to play. Nan Xuanwei refined two furnaces of detoxification pills and went back to her room to sleep.
After a good sleep, when Nan Xuanwei got up to have breakfast, Xiao Qi told her that Xiao Qingyan and Lu Yuning had gone to visit the Zhao family. Wei Yalan asked her to pack up and go to the Zhao family after she woke up, and have lunch there at noon.
"I know!"
Nan Xuanwei packed up and went out hand in hand with Xiao Qi, and ran into Zhao Junyue: "Aunt, grandpa asked me to tell you that tomorrow is the day when the Taoist Association and the Special Case Team will select talents, so he asked you to go to the Taoist Association tomorrow morning!"
"Then I'll go over there this afternoon and see if there's anything I can do to help."
"How about I take you there?"
"I know you are busy. I have a full-time driver now." Xie Qi is a good driver and can predict danger. Anyway, they stay by her side every day, so it is usually Xie Qi who drives when Nan Xuanwei goes out.
"Okay, I'm back to get a document. Are you going home?"
"Yes, Yalan is treating my mother-in-law and sister-in-law to dinner."
"It just so happens that my friend has some fresh beef and mutton, so I asked them to send some over. He has a farm that supplies many high-end hotels in the capital. I ordered some beef, mutton, poultry and eggs from him. Someone will deliver them every other day. There will also be one for the villa halfway up the mountain. Remember to ask the cook to wait at the gate at 9 a.m. If you can't finish it, give it away."
The two walked and talked as they entered the Zhao family mansion.
"Sister-in-law, you are finally here. Zhao Junyue, you seem to have grown taller." Xiao Qingyan had to stand on tiptoe to talk to him.
"No way, I'm already thirty and still growing!"
"Oh, you still know that you are thirty years old. Where is your wife? Mr. Xiao is two years younger than you, and he has already married a wife. But you brothers don't even have a girlfriend. My requirements are not high. I just want a good girl. I am not picky about her family background, education and appearance." Wei Yalan walked out of the house while muttering.
Zhao Junyue, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, shrank behind Nan Xuanwei and muttered in a low voice, "Auntie, you started off badly. I could use the order of seniority as a shield before, but now it's over. I'm completely exposed now that you're getting married. It's all Mr. Xiao's fault for not getting married two years later?"
He was urged to get married and nagged every day, and he didn't dare to go home easily.
"I can see that Junyue's marriage line has already appeared, and it is strong. He will definitely meet his other half within this year, and will get married within two years."
"Really? If this boy can get married within two years, I will eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures all year round, and make a golden statue for you. Then you can help Jun Qing see when he can get married."
After staring at Zhao Junqing for a long time, Nan Xuanwei organized her words: "Junqing should not get married early. He will definitely get married in this life. Don't worry."
It seems that there is no hope for this son in the next three to five years. Wei Yalan tapped his forehead with her finger. If there were no guests, she would have to maintain the image of the mistress of the Zhao family. Wei Yalan really wanted to take off one of her shoes and beat him with it.
"Mom, don't be angry. I think this is good. Next year, you can help me coax the children. In two years, you can coax my eldest brother's children. After three to five years, you can help me coax my children. You won't be too tired, right? Your son loves you."
"So I should thank you for your consideration for me, right?"
"If you insist on expressing your gratitude, I can reluctantly accept it."
Wei Yalan couldn't hold it back any longer, so she grabbed an apple from the table and threw it at her youngest son, but Nan Xuanwei caught it easily: "Don't be angry, Yalan. It doesn't matter if a man gets married earlier or later. Don't worry, Jun Qing's future achievements will be no less than Jun Yue's. When will dinner be served? I'm hungry."
"Aunt is hungry. I'll ask the kitchen to speed up so we can have dinner as soon as possible!" Wei Yalan didn't bother to scold her son and turned to the kitchen.
Zhao Junqing patted his chest and said, "I dare not stay for dinner. My mother will scold me later if she remembers this. Aunt and Qingyan are not strangers. You won't pick a fight with them, right? I'm leaving now!"
Watching him fleeing as quickly as if escaping from prison, Xiao Qingyan and Nan Xuanwei were shaking with laughter. This speed must have been practiced more than eight or ten times!
Zhao Junyue was about to leave after taking the things, but his brother had already slipped away, so it would be rude for him to leave again: "I'll stay for dinner, and after dinner I'll take my aunt to the Taoist Association."
"Weiwei, are you going to the Taoist Association for something?" Lu Yuning asked.
"The Taoist Association and the Special Case Team want to select some talents. I'm going to help. If I'm too busy these two days, I won't be back to live here. I'll take Liuliu and Xieqi with me, and Xiaoqi will stay at home. The villa halfway up the mountain has the most complete security system and bodyguards. You can rest assured and stay here!"
"Qingyan and I will go back this afternoon. Your grandparents are old and need to be taken care of. Shiyu is not at home and your father-in-law has to take care of the group. I am worried that Wenqi will take care of the family."
"What happened yesterday was not directed at my grandparents. I will try to go back to the old house less often in the future, so that I can avoid most of the trouble. I can't think of any other way except this." Getting married is really a hassle. Not only do you have to maintain good relationships with your parents-in-law and sister-in-law, but you also have to maintain relations with the other party's entire family of relatives. It would be fine if everyone is willing to live in peace, but it's really a headache to meet people like Xiao Ran and Xiao Zhijue.
"Qingyan and I are at the old house. Don't say you are right. Even if you are not thoughtful in some way, it is not someone else's turn to lecture you. Shiyu married you to take care of you and spend the rest of his life with you, not to make you suffer. Don't worry, your mother-in-law will take care of you no matter how big the problem is."
"And me, I will also stand on my sister-in-law's side. Let's not talk about my second uncle. My eldest aunt is short-sighted. She only knows how to use the Xiao family's reputation to bully others, but she can't put herself in the right position when she returns to her parents' home. As a married girl, she always wants to take advantage of her parents' family and act like an aunt, without considering her own worth and whether she has the ability to convince others." Xiao Qingyan complained.
The eldest brother will definitely have the final say in the Xiao family in the future. He loves his sister-in-law so much, and only by having a good relationship with her can he stay in the Xiao family. She understands this truth. The eldest aunt and the second uncle rely on their seniority and always want to suppress the sister-in-law, thinking that she is easy to control because of her poor background and lack of backing.
Little did they know that the eldest sister-in-law had more than one backer and an extraordinary background. Not to mention the Bai family and the second uncle, even the Xiao family did not dare to look down on her.
