166: Chapter 134: Third Sister-in-law Mi?
The first watch of the night has arrived.
A special thanks to those who voted to support Nuan when she was feeling down in the past two days.
Nuan is about to start striving, with three updates today.
—————————————————–
Who would have thought that Mikang Tongzi, who always acts high and mighty, would also have monts when he stamrs and can’t speak?
The expressions of Grandpa, Dad, Uncles, and brothers…
were even more amusing…
Grandpa Zhou: Ahahaha, this scourge has finally t his match, ahahaha…
Old Dad Zhou: Stinky kid, if you could treat with the sa attitude, my life…
wouldn’t have been lived in vain…
Second Uncle Zhou: Hahaha, soone will finally keep you in line.
A new head of the family…
has been born…
Big Brother Zhou: Laosan, oh Laosan, you’ve been taken down by such a little girl.
I want to see how you’ll swagger around now, hahaha…
I must tell all the family mbers who aren’t here about this, hahaha…
The intentions of several people were clearly written on their faces.
Zhou Mikang gave a warning glance around, quickly picked up a cup of tea, and handed it to Zhao Yushan, who had been shrinking to one side and pretending to be a background board, “Uncle, have so tea.”
Just at that mont, Lin Baohe “swooshed” to his feet and, with the swiftness of lightning that doesn’t cover one’s ears, dashed toward the doorway, pulled open the door, and quickly disappeared…
“Dad…” Chuxia was slightly stunned, then hurriedly chased after him.
“Chuxia…” Zhao Yulan, who had been quietly paying attention to her daughter’s situation, quickly got up and followed in her daughter’s footsteps.
“I…” Li Aiyuan, who was also playing the role of a background board among the female guests, trembled to her feet and looked towards Zhao Yushan, who was still holding a cup of tea and staring blankly outside, “His Dad…”
Zhao Yushan awkwardly smiled, put down the teacup, and waved his hands at everyone who had gotten up to follow, “No need, no need, not everyone has to go out.
Baohe…
Baohe is fine.”
It would indeed be startling if a large crowd chased after him, so Zhou Mikang put out his hand to stop everyone, “Big Brother and I will go check it out.” Having said this, he grabbed the still dazed Zhou Xi Kang and dragged him out shakily.
“What’s the matter?” Old Master Zhou looked at Zhao Yushan in confusion, seeking enlightennt.
The female guests also looked at him eagerly, with faces that pleaded for information…
As for Lin Baohe, once he exited the door, he looked left and right, then dashed straight down the small path to the right.
“Dad…” Chuxia called out, and in her anxiety, she stomped her feet and continued to chase after him.
Zhao Yulan, being sturdy, caught up with her daughter in just a few steps, “Chuxia, don’t worry about it.
I’ll go find your dad!”
“Mom…” Chuxia also realized by now why her dad had run outside and thus stopped in her tracks, “Mom, I’ll wait here for you.
Rember to co back this way.”
“Mhm.” Zhao Yulan acknowledged with a sound, turned a corner, and quickly was out of sight.
“Lin Chuxia…” Zhou Mikang led Zhou Xikang in pursuit, “Lost them?”
Chuxia shook her head, glaring at him displeased, “You have a grudge against my dad, don’t you?
If it’s not making him smoke, it’s forcing him to drink.
What are you trying to do?”
Being reprimanded like this, Zhou Mikang imdiately realized what the problem was, and his face instantly turned red with regret…
At this mont, Chuxia wished she could tear him to shreds.
She was also annoyed with herself for not being more considerate.
In this era, let alone in the countryside, even in cities, not every household had a toilet.
Even if Lin Baohe knew where the Zhou family’s toilet was located inside the house, he probably would have been too embarrassed to ask.
The key issue now was that her dad would definitely feel that he had lost face.
Going to the Zhou family again would be even more uncomfortable for him!
With these thoughts, she glared at Zhou Mikang with hatred again.
The leader of the group, Tongzi, was regretting his lack of consideration.
Any criticism from Chuxia wouldn’t be t with opposition from him, and for once, he showed a trace of a smile to Chuxia, “You wait here.
I’ll go find them.”
“I’ll go, too.” Zhou Xikang quickly took a step to follow.
He didn’t have the guts to be alone with his future sister-in-law; he wouldn’t dare show a good face to the Demon Lord of Mayhem, let alone him.
“Stay here with her.” Zhou Mikang pushed Zhou Xikang back and with long strides, quickly turned the corner.
“Sister-in-law…” Zhou Xikang smiled awkwardly at Chuxia, “How about we move up a bit and wait at the corner there?”
“Okay.” Chuxia agreed, then emphasized again, “Please just call by my na.”
“Alright, Xiao Lin, hehe…” Zhou Xikang stretched his neck to peek into the distance, then turned back to Chuxia with a smile before stretching his neck out again…
He was uncomfortable, Chuxia was uncomfortable, so the two stood there, like giraffesarching their necks—-gazing into the distance…
“Xizi, what are you looking at?” Along with the questioning voice, a girl in her early twenties also craned her neck to gaze in the direction the two were looking…
After staring for a while without seeing anything unusual, the girl couldn’t help but give Zhou Xikang a light poke: “Xizi, what exactly are you looking at?”
“There’s nothing…” Zhou Xikang, of course, had noticed the girl earlier, but he didn’t pay her any attention, not knowing how to explain himself.
When she poked his arm, he couldn’t pretend to ignore her anymore, so he smiled, “Xiao Xue, aren’t you at work today?”
“I ca back for lunch, and just happened to see you here.” The girl’s gaze swept over Chuxia, then she tugged Zhou Xikang to the side and whispered, “Is she new to your family?”
With Old Master Zhou’s status, plus Zhou Jingping’s level, the Zhou family could be assigned four security guards and two nannies; currently, there were only two security guards and one nanny.
“No.” Zhou Xikang was so startled that he tried to cover the girl’s mouth, but she just giggled and moved closer to Chuxia, “Hello, I’m Jiang Xue, I live in this house.” She said, pointing to a small villa next to her.
“Hello.” Chuxia replied politely, ignoring the other’s curiosity.
“Is she part of your family?” Jiang Xue had no choice but to shift her gaze back to Zhou Xikang.
“Lin Chuxia, Laosan’s fiancée.” Zhou Xikang decided to speak the truth outright, not daring to fabricate, as if Laosan knew, who knows, he might just skin him!
Geez~
“What?” The girl’s voice suddenly rose, her eyes widening to twice their size, then she scread, “Grandma, Mom, co out, co out…”
Zhou Xikang covered his head, which was beginning to ache…
The villa door opened, and an old lady and a woman in her forties hurried out: “Xiao Xue, what happened?” After seeing that she was standing there fine, they both breathed a sigh of relief, “You scared to death with that hollering!” said the middle-aged woman.
“Grandma, Mom, look, this is Laosan’s fiancée, Xizi just said it, this is Laosan’s fiancée!” Jiang Xue pointed to Chuxia, excitedly introducing her to the two, a look of excitent on her face.
“Grandma Jiang, Big Aunt Jiang.” Zhou Xikang gave an awkward laugh as he greeted the two.
“Xizi, why didn’t you co in?” Old Lady Jiang chuckled as she pulled Zhou Xikang along, “When will your wife give your grandma a great-grandchild?
She keeps nagging about it, you have to hurry up…”
“Grandma, didn’t you hear what I said?
This is Third Brother Mi’s fiancée!”
Chuxia’s lips twitched.
Third Brother Mi, why not just be straightforward and call him Third Brother Dagger?
Old Lady Jiang finally realized belatedly and shifted her gaze to Chuxia, looking her up and down several tis.
Just as Chuxia could no longer stand it and was about to make a run for it, the old lady finally spoke, “Girl, you gotta eat more, you’re too skinny!
If that rascal Xiaomi bullies you, co find Grandma Jiang, I’ll help you beat him up!”
“Mom…” Aunt Jiang pulled at the old lady, apologizing to Chuxia with a smile, “Xiaomi is about the sa age as my younger son, and he used to play at our house a lot.
Old Lady Jiang treats him like her own grandson, hehe…”
“Hello, Grandma Jiang, hello, Aunt Jiang.” As the saying goes, don’t hit a smiling face, so Chuxia politely greeted them in return.
“Look at , I got all confused, forgot to do an introduction…” Zhou Xikang quickly stepped forward.
“Little sister-in-law, Grandpa Jiang and our grandpa were brothers in arms, Grandma Jiang is like our own grandma, Aunt Jiang is like our mom, Grandma Jiang, Aunt Jiang, Chuxia is my third brother’s fiancée, it’s already settled, hehe…”
Unsatisfied, Jiang Xue jumped out: “Xizi, that’s not fair, why didn’t you introduce ?
Am I not as close as your real sister?” She then affectionately grabbed Chuxia’s arm, “Third Sister-in-law Mi…”
Chuxia shivered throughout her whole body and quickly interrupted her: “Um, just call Lin Chuxia, I have a na, it’s Lin Chuxia.”…
I’m not Third Sister-in-law Mi, that sounds even more like Third Cutter Mi, you know!
But Jiang Xue was insistent: “No, I want to call you Third Sister-in-law Mi, you are Third Brother Mi’s fiancée, so of course you are my Third Sister-in-law Mi!”
Is she for real?
Chuxia felt a headache coming on.
She had never felt such an urgent need for Zhou Mikang to appear.
This family is way too familiar, isn’t it?
Zhou Xikang, not pulling his weight, isn’t he?
“Xizi, what are you two doing here?” Aunt Jiang looked in the direction the two were gazing earlier and asked, unable to help herself.
“Oh, my third brother is showing Chuxia’s parents around the yard, Chuxia was training all day yesterday and was tired, so my third brother asked to keep her company here.”
This ti, Zhou Xikang responded quickly enough, and his answer seed reasonable; Chuxia discreetly wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn’t help but laugh at herself inwardly.
Zhou Xikang was just uncomfortable around her, and that didn’t an he’s a fool; growing up in such a family, could he be?
“Why stand out here?
Co in and sit for a bit.” Old Lady Jiang warmly went up to Chuxia, “Laosan has good taste, this girl is likable at first sight.
In a couple of years, no daughter-in-law in this courtyard will be able to compete.”
“Third Sister-in-law Mi is really pretty!” Jiang Xue’s eyes glued to Chuxia’s face as if hooked, staring straight at her, “No wonder Third Brother Mi never cared for anyone else.
Turns out he likes pretty ones, hmm, prettier than…” She was just about to finish when Aunt Jiang forcefully coughed and interrupted, “Yes, yes, Lin Chuxia is very pretty, no one in this area can compare.”
Chuxia felt exasperated… Jiang Xue was about to say prettier than iru, right?
Ha, should she be happy or not with such a complint?
(To be continued.
