Chapter 27 - 14: Top-notch Uncle and Aunt
Eldest brother was honest and straightforward and not good at talking, let alone when facing his own uncle. How could he argue with him? If Big Brother didn't say anything, Second Brother, who was still in school, couldn't say anything either. Otherwise, if someone accused him of "disrespecting elders and having bad conduct," he wouldn't even be able to stay in the academy. Sang Wan felt that if this were to be the case, the accuser would most likely be Second Uncle.
As for Sang Wan herself, as an unmarried young lady, if she was scolded, she could only bear it. She had even less right to argue!
Fortunately, there was an elder sister-in-law in this family. She was brave, kind-hearted, honest, and outspoken. Although she could not openly confront her second uncle and second aunt, she often made them suffer in secret without being able to say anything! With her around, her second uncle and second aunt could gossip all they wanted but couldn't really do anything to their family.
Now that the Shi family had fulfilled their marriage agreement and welcomed her into the family, the faces of her second uncle and second aunt had completely changed!
"How can that be!" Sang Wan hurriedly laughed: "I didn't dare to cause trouble for my second uncle and second aunt before, and I dare not now even more!"
"My niece is still so formal, what's the trouble? We're all family! Second uncle never felt troubled. Let's go, let's go!" Sang Pingliang raised his thick eyebrows nonchalantly, speaking without shame or breathlessness.
"Exactly! Second aunt has a lot to tell you! Your mother left too early, and it's up to me, your second aunt, to worry about it! As a child, I doted on you so much that I missed having you in my womb for ten months!" Mrs. Li said with a pitying and affectionate face.
Sang Wan was so angry that her head was throbbing. She couldn't believe they had the nerve to say such things!
Sang Xiaoquan couldn't stand to listen anymore. She pouted her lips at Mrs. Li and made a face, then hid behind Sang Wan and whispered, "Aunt doesn't really love auntie at all. You even called her a wicked star! The village women say that it's an insult!"
"You little devil, what are you talking about!" Mrs. Li's face flushed with anger as she glared at Sang Xiaoquan.
