Chapter 188. The Dispute Over Naming: Brother-in-law, That Was Not Very Kind of You
"Why would I fool you? My daughter and son are indeed my daughter and son, absolutely. But what you said doesn’t sound very nice, and it gives me the urge to have our big brother give you a good beating! I bet our big brother, who loves me so much, would definitely fulfill this small wish of mine, right?" Shuzhen gave her second brother a fierce glare and looked at her big brother with a coquettish air.
The always sister-loving Liu Shouren nodded at her words: "Of course, I’ll find some time later to thrash him. Little sister, you’re still in your confinement period; don’t stoop to the level of this brainless moron of a second brother. Otherwise, if you get irritated, even tearing this loose-tongued fool apart wouldn’t be enough to compensate for a hair strand."
Shouyi widened his eyes: To say such things, are they truly biological brothers? It was just an unintentional slip out of shock! Do you really want to throw your brother under the bus just to please the little sister, big brother? Even if I’m not as gentle and lovable as little sister, we’re still blood brothers!
Unfortunately, Liu Shouren was busy chatting with his precious sister and admiring the newborn twin nephew and niece, having no time to feel his silly brother’s grievances, as deep as the sea and as high as a mountain.
Lianshan, on the other hand, noticed but agreed with his brother-in-law. This foul-mouthed second brother-in-law really did deserve a beating. As the kids’ father, he refrained from pouring gasoline on the fire but wouldn’t speak up for him either. An unintentional mistake is still a mistake!
After a brief inquiry about the family situation, Shuzhen, once assured all was well, started to brag about her daughter to her big brother.
Obviously small and wrinkled, with eyes not yet open and a head shaped a bit long and pointy from the birth canal pressure. No matter how you look, the little one doesn’t seem anywhere near pretty, yet she’s somehow deeply favored by little sister and brother-in-law. Though the child now seems frail, with sparse hair and a less rosy complexion than her second brother’s, she’ll grow!
With almond eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, a tiny cherry mouth, and an oval face, a petite nose so straight and proper, she combines all the best features of both her and Lianshan. Take good care, and in a few months, she’ll become the most adorable little darling, and in a decade, a beauty surpassing all predecessors.
This was boasting with such confidence that Shouyi couldn’t help but chuckle. It’s difficult not to laugh when big brother and Lianshan earnestly nod in full agreement. Their abilities as team leaders and breed research specialists deserve applause—especially for this strong ability to talk nonsense with eyes wide open.
In the midst of sharing imaginings of her daughter’s extraordinary beauty in over ten years, an ill-timed interruption from her second brother made Shuzhen’s eyes fill with daggers, aimed right at him: "Laugh, laugh, laugh, why is what I’m saying so funny to you?"
