Chapter 499: Chapter 499 I Have No Objection Chapter 499: Chapter 499 I Have No Objection “Your second sister-in-law is my wife, not my mother; she doesn’t need to take care of everything for me. I am a man, and it is a man who should take care of a woman. That’s what should be done. Don’t just spout nonsense there. Your second sister-in-law is tired today; I told her to rest first. There’s nothing wrong with that. You don’t have a wife yet, so you wouldn’t understand. Stop acting like you know everything.” An Zhiyuan walked away displeased. He couldn’t stand his brother’s chauvinistic thinking.
“A man should take care of a woman, but which family’s woman requires her husband to bring meals to her room like your second sister-in-law does? Will she need her husband to feed her next?” An Zhixiang couldn’t stand it, seeing his own brother defend that girl.
“Which family’s daughter-in-law has stood on a minefield with me to defuse bombs like your second sister-in-law? None? That’s why she is not like others. Besides, she is my wife, and if I like to indulge her, it’s none of your business, not even our father’s. It’s a private matter between spouses. Money can’t buy my willingness. Don’t make me hit you—show some respect for your second sister-in-law, or else I won’t mind teaching you what respect means.” An Zhiyuan left those words behind and went down to the kitchen.
An Zhixiang was so blocked up he couldn’t speak.
His older brother rarely laid hands on him, but the few times he did were deeply memorable.
Yes, just because of that time defusing bombs with her brother-in-law, his second sister-in-law had become a living example of glorious military spouse in the courtyard, even throughout the army.
Everywhere they held activities to learn from comrade Bai Xiao, the model family member. Everyone said Bai Xiao was the most beautiful daughter-in-law of the eighties.
That single merit could makeup for all her faults. Even if he complained to their father, could a father-in-law possibly criticize his own daughter-in-law?
For the first time, An Zhixiang felt somewhat powerless.
His brother had changed so much.
Every time he saw Ding Min before, he was cold as ice. He barely spoke or smiled, always finding excuses to leave. The goodness Ding Min spoke of in his brother, he really couldn’t see at all.
Look at his brother now—that’s real kindness to a wife.
Ding Min, oh.
Perhaps she really was delusional.
An Zhixiang felt a pang in his heart. Ding Min’s liking for his older brother was the undeniable truth, while his own feelings for Ding Min were complicated, as his mother did not hope Ding Min would marry him.
And Ding Min couldn’t possibly marry him either, because her affection had always been for his brother—who could really say who was better?
If Ding Min had been willing to marry him, maybe he would have treated Ding Min as his brother did now, sparing no effort to bring her meals or wash her feet. Whatever he did for the woman he loved was justified.
Suddenly, he understood his brother all at once.
His brother must really like Bai Xiao.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t treat a woman like this.
An Zhiyuan came out, and An Cheng stopped him.
He knew today’s issue wasn’t over yet.
“Ayuan, I’ve decided to hold your wedding in the cafeteria, about 20 tables. Just some simple firecrackers and a ceremony. Do you have any objections?”
An Zhiyuan pursed his lips.
Of course, he was siding with Wei Shufen. Actually, it didn’t matter to him. The real wedding he and Bai Xiao cared about was not here.
Frankly, if it weren’t necessary to hold this ceremony because of the old man, they would rather not deal with so much hassle here.
It’s exhausting, having a wedding just for others to see.
“Dad, I have no objections!”
An Zhigao gave a snort.
“Dad, asking him like that, how do you expect him to answer?” Displeased with his father’s autocracy.
“Don’t butt in here. They are my son and daughter-in-law. Thrift is a virtue; why should we be so extravagantly wasteful? I’m telling you, stop finding faults and head back to your own house. You’re already married; what are you doing hanging around here all the time?” An Cheng gave an order.
An Zhigao slammed the door as he left.
