Yao Hui was a bit flustered. Her mother had been watching her closely these past few days, afraid she would go find trouble with Yu Xinyan and mess up her brother-in-law’s plans. Yao Hui didn’t understand what her mother was thinking. Why wouldn’t she agree to let her marry her brother-in-law, but would allow him to marry a village girl?
While no one at home noticed, she sneaked over to her brother-in-law’s house. It was Sister Tian’s words that directed her here. Feigning calmness, she said, "Stop changing the subject. I only came because I heard you were discharged from the hospital and didn’t go back to take care of my nephews. That’s why I’m here.
They say once you have a stepmother, you get a stepfather. You haven’t even held a wedding with my brother-in-law yet, and you’re already neglecting my nephews. How can they have a good life in the future?"
In the past life, Yao Hui often instigated those stepchildren to make trouble for herself. Since she wanted to marry Lyu Juncheng so much, why not fulfill her wish?
She knew this woman’s character all too well: "What I do is my business, and you don’t need to meddle. Even if you want to meddle, you need the ability to do so."
Yao Hui didn’t expect this woman from the countryside to be so arrogant: "What do you mean by that?"
Yu Xinyan replied lightly, "Since you don’t think I’m suitable to be your nephews’ stepmother, why don’t you find someone you deem suitable to introduce to your brother-in-law? It’s not like he��s the only one for me."
Just a little more fire to stoke: "Besides, we’ve only received the certificate, we haven’t held a wedding yet. The rice hasn’t been cooked into porridge yet. Who’s eager to be their stepmother anyway?"
Hearing this, Yao Hui was infuriated. Many women wanted to marry her brother-in-law, yet this woman dared to be picky. She was about to erupt when she heard her mother’s voice coming from the main entrance.
She couldn’t be bothered to retort to Yu Xinyan and dashed toward the small door ahead, which led to the back courtyard of the guesthouse. There was a side door by the kitchen in the courtyard, which could be used to leave the guesthouse.
Yao Hui could hear Mrs. Yao’s voice; naturally, Yu Xinyan could too. Although the old lady genuinely cared for her grandchildren, she was also adept at scheming.
In the past life, Yu Xinyan suffered in silence at her hands many times. In this life, she wouldn’t let that happen, but now she didn’t want to see her, so she simply closed the door.
Mrs. Yao searched the corridor of the guesthouse but didn’t see Yao Hui. Thinking she had mistaken someone else for her, she left muttering curses.
As Yao Hui left the guesthouse, she remembered Yu Xinyan’s words, "the rice hasn’t been cooked into porridge yet," and she suddenly had an idea.
She wanted to marry her brother-in-law anyway. Her mother disagreed, so she had to find a way to make her agree. After all, as Yu Xinyan said, they had only received the certificate. If she could cause some scandal with her brother-in-law, he’d definitely have to take responsibility for her, right?
Moreover, it had to be done quickly. Yu Xinyan probably wanted to use the incident where Xiangyang pushed her down the stairs for leverage, which is why she was staying at the guesthouse. It was the perfect opportunity for her, making her happier the more she thought about it.
On the way to her brother-in-law’s house, she specially bought half a pound of braised meat and a bottle of liquor, and to please her nephews, half a pound of the currently popular cookies.
Unexpectedly, after making a trip to the guesthouse, Sister Tian was still in the courtyard of her brother-in-law’s house, which made her a bit displeased: "Sister Tian is here, what’s the chat about? Let me listen too."
Sister Tian had no good impression of Yao Hui. She had delivered the message and done the advising; what Lyu Juncheng decided to do was his business. However, regarding the matter of Lyu Juncheng having had a vasectomy, she didn’t have the heart to say it.
