Chapter 310 - Chapter 310: Chapter 318: Deliberate Misinterpretation (2/2)
Even though Su Wenyue knew it was somewhat unlikely, given her parents’ and brother’s love for her, she couldn’t think of any other reasons.
“Isn’t that flattering? Little sister is getting more and more confident. Is it from being pampered by your brother-in-law? The ancestral teachings are for times of peace. The world is now in chaos, and we have become entangled with the main house; not to mention the other reasons. A large part of our family business is in the prefecture city, and it constantly requires father’s and my management. Instead of running back and forth and not having a peaceful New Year, we might as well move to the city. Besides, the eldest aunt and others are living at home, so moving to the prefecture city would be much more convenient. However, little sister hasn’t guessed wrong; indeed, part of the reason is because of you. Father, mother, and we all are worried about you; the prefecture city is not as simple as the county town. It’s your first time here, and we don’t want you to be bullied. Your husband’s family will also be in the prefecture city for the New Year, and with us here, they wouldn’t dare to cause any trouble or bully you.”
Su Hengyi hadn’t forgotten the grievances his younger sister had suffered in her husband’s family and held a low opinion of her in-laws. His tone worsened when he brought them up.
“Big brother, you’re so good to me. Having a family like you is my greatest fortune and support,” Su Wenyue’s eyes heated up as she affectionately grasped Su Hengyi’s arm and snuggled against it, rubbing her head against her big brother to hide the emotion in her eyes.
When Han Yu found out that his brother-in-law had arrived, he hurried over, but his face darkened at the scene before him. That girl simply never learned; hadn’t he told her not to be so intimate with other men?
Han Yu had set this rule not because he doubted Su Wenyue’s fidelity; it was purely out of jealousy, seeing his wife so ‘intimate’ with anyone but himself, especially targeted at the two brothers-in-law who liked to ‘roughhouse’ with his wife. To put it bluntly, he was just being unreasonably jealous. Even though he knew it was irrational, he insisted on his wife’s agreement.
“Big brother is here! Wife, you really don’t get it. You’re not a small person anymore. When big brother arrives, why don’t you entertain him properly, instead of clinging onto big brother like that, still thinking you’re a child?” Han Yu said with indulgent affection in his voice while nonchalantly pulling his wife away from her eldest brother-in-law and holding her in his arms, which was quite an eyesore for Su Hengyi.
Being a man with his own wife, Su Hengyi fully understood Han Yu’s little schemes. He found it both amusing and gratifying, and was relieved to see his younger sister held such a prominent place in her brother-in-law’s heart. If it weren’t for care, the brother-in-law wouldn’t show such behavior.
As soon as Su Wenyue saw Han Yu return, remembering how he had ‘shamelessly’ threatened her before, she knew her husband was being petty again, unable to stand her closeness with her big brother and second brother.
Those were her real brothers, and it had always been like this since childhood. Han Yu was the one being unreasonable here, but on this matter, the man was simply illogical. If she didn’t agree, he would persistently torment her, so when Han Yu came in, Su Wenyue’s embrace around Su Hengyi stiffened a bit, letting Han Yu pull her away.
“Brother-in-law, what you’re saying isn’t quite fair. My little sister is the epitome of understanding. She might have been a bit spoiled at home due to our doting, perhaps a little willful. After marrying into the Han family, she went through hardships, and nearly lost her life, all for your sake. She became so sensible that it pained us to watch. Saying such things is a bit heartless! If you are truly unsatisfied with my sister, I can take her back home right now, so she won’t be picked on by others again in the future,” Su Hengyi deliberately misinterpreted, knowing full well that wasn’t what Han Yu meant.
