Chapter 167. The happy event is set, Yinghong sister’s domineering strong attack mode (monthly ticket 60+)
In a split second, Lianshan saw a fist as big as a bowl coming straight for his face. If it landed, there was no way to explain away a black eye. Liu Shouren quickly ducked and barely avoided the blow, watching as his brother-in-law swiftly grabbed Uncle Wu to stop him from chasing after.
Before he could even celebrate, he saw the old man widening his eyes in a threat, warning his brother-in-law to let go or else they’d both get a beating—oh no, he meant sparring!
The moment Liu Shouren heard the word ’sparring’ equate to getting beaten by Uncle Wu, he felt a pang in his teeth.
It’s just that the old man was not only of an older generation, but his martial prowess was quite formidable. As someone who couldn’t win a fake fight and certainly not a real one, not daring to strike dirty tricks due to respect for his seniority, he had been taught quite a few lessons by him. The phrase ’lingering fear’ wasn’t even enough to describe his feelings!
To avoid his well-intentioned brother-in-law getting the innocent bystander treatment and worrying his little sister, or causing trouble himself, Liu Shouren waved a white flag with a pained expression, saying, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Uncle Wu, let me explain, hear me out before deciding whether to continue sparring, okay?"
Wu Liguo glared as if he had something to say, but was stopped by Shuzhen calling him "Uncle Wu" affectionately: "I know, Uncle, it’s because you’re worried about my sister Yinghong and eager to side with her. But some things can’t just be resolved with brute force. Marriage is a major event, concerning two people’s lifelong happiness. At least, Uncle Wu, listen to my brother’s explanation, okay?"
Hearing this, Lianshan quickly nodded, supporting his wife: "Exactly, exactly. Even those who commit murder and arson are allowed to explain themselves before being judged. Uncle Wu, you might as well offer some sentiment and hear out my brother’s explanation, sure?"
Wu Liguo snorted: "Fine, for the sake of my niece and her husband, I’ll listen to what you’ve got to say. If your explanation is reasonable, Old Wu will apologize. Otherwise, the sparring won’t be just three rounds!"
The accused Liu Shouren choked but had to follow the steps laid by his sister and brother-in-law.
He let out a bitter laugh: "Uncle Wu, you’ve misunderstood. Yinghong is like a swan flying high in the sky; even if she’s in a slump now, she’ll spread her wings again someday. Being liked by her is something that makes me excited and delighted and not at all disgusted!"
