Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 720 Marrying the Wrong Man or the Right One? (41)

Shi Xiuhua said: "Aunt is humble and polite in her dealings with others, and she does things cleanly and efficiently. She is a woman who is more capable than a man."

Shi An wrote down the key points and thought that it was okay for his mother-in-law to be a little strong. Someone always wanted to be the grandson, so if he didn't, who would? He couldn't let her instigate his wife to divorce him, right?

But Shi An was afraid of his brother-in-law. Although that guy was young, he was embarrassed at a poetry gathering in the capital and he had single-handedly argued with the scholars.

In a contest of force, the sons of officials who were military generals could not defeat them, and he was afraid that he would be even more miserable than them.

"Brother, everyone says that a son-in-law is half a son. The more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him. Don't underestimate yourself."

"How can I not be confident? She's just a mother-in-law!" Shi An said anxiously. However, he hasn't even met his mother-in-law yet, and she already hates him deeply.

"My younger uncle..."

"As for Brother Xin, although he has the reputation of a young genius, he is also very humble. He has learned from great scholars and made friends with great people. He is good at both literature and martial arts, well-educated and well-mannered, and treats his family very well."

Shi An was at a loss, wondering how to deal with this protective brother-in-law.

The brother and sister wandered around the yard, and finally Shi Xiuhua asked weakly, "Brother, are you going to knock on the door to visit today?"

"It seems that this won't work. If I shrink back again, I will be scolded even more."

"elder brother!"

"What? Speak louder." Shi An shouted.

After carrying a load of gifts early in the morning and standing outside in the sun for a long time, Shi Xiuhua was already in a bad mood. She was not to be outdone when her brother yelled at her, and shouted, "Do you dare to go into my mother-in-law's house? If not, I will go back to look after my shop!"

"How can you talk like that? I'm already here..."

"Who's out there?"

Hearing a quarrel outside, Gu Cixin opened the gate while holding his niece.

I saw Shi Xiuhua and a strange man standing outside, and next to them were two loads of gift boxes of different sizes wrapped in red cloth.

And the strange man, seeing those facial features, Gu Cixin said: "Sister Xiuhua, did this man bully you?"

"Hello, Brother Xin, I'm looking for my sister-in-law."

"Your sister-in-law is in the courtyard. If you have any problems, let the men handle them."

"This is... this is my brother, Shi An. I've been in the military camp for many years, so I only have time to meet you today. It's really a bit impolite." She said to Shi An beside her, "Brother, this is Brother Xin, your uncle."

Shi An didn't dare to relax at all. He stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings, uncle."

Gu Cixin returned the greeting and looked up and said, "It's really strange these days. Strangers start calling each other brothers when they first meet."

"I know that my uncle has a grudge against me, blaming me for failing your sister. I admit it, but if I had delayed coming a few more days, I'm afraid I would have made even more mistakes."

"I have few relatives, so you must recognize this door carefully. It would be a joke if you mistakenly enter his house."

"Now that I'm here, I won't go to the wrong door." The two men looked at each other, and Shi An saw that the other's eyes were full of disdain and disgust.

Shi An knew that with his figure, he would be happy to be stepped into a three-foot mud pit today.

"Brother Xin, my brother..." Shi Xiuhua wanted to plead, but was interrupted.

Gu Cixin handed the child in his arms over and said with a smile: "Sheng'er might be hungry. Her mother is inside. Sister Xiuhua, thank you for your help."

"Come on, follow your aunt, little darling!"

Seeing Gu Cixin's smile grow even deeper, Shi Xiuhua silently lit a few candles for her brother. She gestured to Shi An and carried the child into the yard.

Shi An saw the man in front of the courtyard gate, dressed in blue, eight feet tall, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, elegant and easy-going, and his words gave people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze. He was indeed a modest young man.

His wife is beautiful, his brother-in-law has a handsome face like Pan An, and the whole family is good-looking.

When he saw that Shi Xiuhua became more nervous after seeing the man smile, he knew that he was a tough guy who looked weak but was actually very powerful.

After Shi Xiuhua left, Gu Cixin was too lazy to even move his eyelids, but instead talked to himself: "If the heaven and earth are unkind, they will treat all things as straw dogs; if the saints are unkind, the people will be straw dogs; I think it's good for this man to be unkind, since he has no preference for others, nor will he have hatred, and will let things live and die on their own, and he won't do such evil things as beating women and children. What do you think, brother?"

boom!

Shi An knelt down immediately, which scared Gu Cixin. He thought that this guy was rumored to be rude and violent, and was not someone who could bend and stretch himself.

Boom boom boom!

Shi An knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. Anyway, he was not a gentleman, so he could only use his hands and feet.

He couldn't say anything nice, and was worried that a "father" or "master" would come out. If so, he wouldn't be able to enter the door today and could only go home, close the door and eat noodles.

"What do you mean?" Gu Cixin took a few steps back.

"Although I am stupid, I am not a person without honor and integrity. I have joined the army and have not been unkind or unjust to the court and the country. I have fulfilled my duties to my parents and sisters at home."

Shi An changed the subject and said more sincerely, "But I am really ashamed of my wife and children. I have failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband, and I am not a good father. I am indeed worse than what my uncle said."

"You also said that the person you are ashamed of is not me, so what's the point of worshipping me? Although I am a businessman, I may have some wealth. If you want to make money, worshiping the God of Wealth is the best way."

Gu Cixin raised his eyebrows, glanced at the courtyard wall, turned his head and saw Shi An kowtow again! Thinking that this guy didn't seem so easy to embarrass, he stroked his forehead.

Yang and Shi Xiuhua hid in the yard holding their child and peeked outside. When she saw that Shi An was kowtowing very firmly, her opinion of him changed a lot.

"I am not here to ask for money, but to ask for love. First, I ask for a harmonious family relationship. Second, I ask my uncle and mother-in-law to forgive my personal disrespect. Third, I ask for the shameless love between the humble Shi family and your family."

Gu Cixin actually looked up to this cheap brother-in-law. He could talk about these private matters directly. Even though it was shameless, it was indeed useful and he was not a fool.

Shi An's palms were sweating. With so many eyes watching him, he was afraid he couldn't hold on any longer.

Have those guys finally arrived? They are probably too busy hiding in the corner to watch him make a fool of himself. These brothers are worse than clothes, so unreliable!

If he continued to fill it, he would not have any ink left, but would have had a lot of vulgar and obscene words.

"This person should not be too greedy. Biting off more than you can chew."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also told me the same thing, but this greed is too deep to be eradicated."

"Today we are only talking about private matters, and it has nothing to do with that nobleman from the capital."

"Uncle, isn't what you and I are talking about now a private matter?" Shi An asked.

"Hehe, when false is true, true is false. It is indeed my narrow vision that makes me a real fool." Gu Cixin shook his head.

He knew that Shi An was using the name of the prince to get closer to him, and he was caught off guard and tricked.

Gu Cixin was about to start arguing again when a group of people rushed over...
