Chapter 211: Don’t do that with her.
"Old man..." Liu Xiang’s wife couldn’t hold back first.
"Let me think about it..." Liu Xiang’s father was also heartbroken for his son and hesitated for a moment.
"Dad, is the yard all cleaned up? Why are you still..."
At the door came the clearly displeased voice of Liu Xiang’s eldest sister-in-law. She was walking into the room and was momentarily stunned when she saw the people standing inside. There was an unnatural flash in her eyes, and she forced a smile: "Oh, it’s the third brother, why didn’t you let your big brother know you were coming."
"I saw you were busy, so I didn’t bother. I’m here to take Mom and Dad," Liu Xiang got straight to the point.
"Take Mom and Dad?" Liu Xiang’s eldest sister-in-law’s eyes darted around, then she exaggeratedly exclaimed, "That’s not possible. It was agreed when the family was divided that Mom and Dad would stay with us. If the third brother takes them away, the villagers will surely gossip about me and your big brother."
"You’re thinking too much, sister-in-law. As the younger brother, I can’t let you and big brother be gossiped about. I’m not taking them to keep; I just thought that with the rain and slippery roads, the elderly couple might struggle traveling with you. I wanted to help you out by taking them along with us for a bit. Once we’re up the mountain, they’ll return to you. But since sister-in-law doesn’t agree, forget I said anything," Liu Xiang shrugged indifferently.
Liu Xiang’s sister-in-law was dumbfounded, expecting a battle of wits, and couldn’t help but purse her lips. She thought she could gain some advantage from the third brother.
