In Xiao Shuju’s eyes, this was clearly unimaginable. Her lips ford an O as she exclaid, "Yebai, what on earth are you wearing?"
Xiao Yebai replied, "Clothes, pants. What, can’t Third Sister even see the clothes on my body?"
Xiao Shuju was choked up by his words, "No, I just wonder, why are you and your wife dressed like this?"
His wife?
Since when did the third child approve of the wife he married?
Xiao Yebai cleared his throat twice and said, "Third Sister, have you woken up from your dream?"
Xiao Shuju seed to suddenly rember sothing, probably recalling her purpose, "I, I have nowhere to go—"
"Oh," responded Yebai quickly, lazily brushing his hair, "Did your brother-in-law not want you anymore?"
Everyone knew the third child was like water poured out — once married, she almost forgot her natal ho. The "ho" Third Sister ntioned could only be Lin Jiale’s ho, not any other.
Xiao Shuju seed to start crying in an instant.
Gu Nuan hadn’t managed to avoid the situation, and clearly, Yebai hadn’t expected the other to pull such a stunt. The foolish third child, instead of rushing towards her own brother, threw herself directly onto Gu Nuan and burst into tears in her embrace, "You can’t turn away, can you? I really have nowhere else to go. You all know that my eldest sister and youngest sister will only mock . The second one has been plotting against , waiting to laugh at . Grandma has been displeased with over this for a long ti, thinking it’s my own fault."
What exactly was going on? The other party hadn’t made it clear.
What irritated White Dog even more was, why on earth was the person clinging to his wife! Didn’t they know that sticking to his wife was White Dog’s exclusive right?
So, White Dog’s paw reached out imdiately, intending to pull away the thing clinging to his wife, "She can’t hear! What’s the use of talking to her?!"
"It doesn’t matter—" Xiao Shuju said while hanging on to her tears, "I’m just venting."
"And don’t stick to my wife! Didn’t you hate her the most?!" Right now, White Dog wished everyone hated his wife so he could be the only one sticking to her.
Gu Nuan only felt her head buzzing, driven crazy by the sister and brother’s madness.
"Let’s go inside," Gu Nuan recovered her calm voice first, "Isn’t it embarrassing for you to make a scene like this at the front door, Third Sister?"
Speaking of embarrassnt, the third child was still decently dressed, which ant she wanted to keep her dignity. So, she sniffled back her tears and followed them into the house.
The elderly upstairs were sleeping, so the three of them sat in the small living room downstairs.
Gu Nuan went to pour Xiao Shuju a glass of water.
Xiao Shuju sat on the torn fabric sofa that Granny Zhou had picked up from the trash, feeling a garbage stench she couldn’t help but dislike. She frowned, and upon looking at her brother in farr’s clothes, her furrowed brows beca knotted.
She couldn’t understand why Xiao Yebai would allow himself to be reduced to such a state. Was it fun for him to play poor with his wife?
"Third Sister, do you really think you can spend the night here in the dead of night?" Yebai saw the look of disdain from the third child, so he curled his lips and said that.
Xiao Shuju’s face once again took on a look of pitifulness and grievance, "I had no choice. Just think, that detestable brother-in-law of mine, he kept in the dark for so long, how much I have suffered!"
"Kept you in the dark about what?" Xiao Yebai rested one hand on the back of the other, lowering his eyes to look at his wristwatch, as if calculating how long this third child’s drama could last.
