Although everyone heard Jiao Siyu’s words, no one paid attention to her. They chatted for a while, and when the sun started to set, Zhang Dongmei and Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Jiao Siyu went to the front yard to chat with the neighbors.
In the kitchen, Zhang Dongmei is stir-frying the pickled vegetables and Lu Jueyu is making noodles.
"Third sister-in-law, don’t take what the second sister-in-law says to heart. She is always like this." Zhang Dongmei said suddenly.
Lu Jueyu smiled at her and said, "I won’t mind what she says."
Zhang Dongmei observed her expression and was relieved when she saw that Lu Jueyu didn’t mind Jiao Siyu’s words at all. Since ancient times, the relationship between sisters-in-law has always been difficult to maintain. She doesn’t want her husband to be separated from his brothers because of them.
Therefore, she strives to maintain a good relationship with her sisters-in-law. Although she was looked down upon by Jiao Siyu, Lu Jueyu respected her as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family. As the person closest to her husband is the third brother, it was enough as long as she can get along with Lu Jueyu.
"It’s good if that’s the case."
Lu Jueyu said nothing, and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable despite their silence. After chatting for a long time in the living room, Li Chenxuan finally said, "Elder Brother, Third Brother, can I borrow some money from you?"
"I have no money at all." Li Chenmo said as soon as Li Chenxuan finished speaking.
Li Chenxuan frowned at him and said, "You are the captain of the army. It is impossible that you have no savings at all. At least when you retire, your superiors will give you some money as a pension, right?"
"Yes, but I have given all the money to my wife. So, I can’t lend the money to you at all." Li Chenmo said lightly.
Li Chenxuan’s eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "How could you give her all your money? What would you do if she spent all your money or she left you with nothing?"
Li Chenmo’s eyes darkened and he said coldly, "First, my wife will not leave me, and she is not someone who spends money recklessly. Second, this is a matter between me and my wife. So, I don’t need you to tell me what to do. Third, I’m happy to let her spend my money however she wants. What does that have to do with you?"
"As a man, you need to teach your wife how to behave well and control her. How can you be a henpecked husband?" Li Chenxuan said disdainfully.
"Said a man who didn’t even dare to refute his wife’s words and let her scold him in public. What a henpecked husband indeed." Li Chenmo nodded and said with a sneer as he looked at Li Chenxuan. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
