Yuan Laidi glared at her second brother with annoyance, "If my way doesn’t work, then you think of something. Just picking faults and not solving problems—what’s the use of that?"
Yuan Wangdi, hearing Yuan Laidi’s words, scratched his head and said, "Little Third, you’re making it hard for your second brother here!"
"Second brother, we can’t just ignore this, can we?"
Yuan Laidi sighed, "Xiao Wu over there clearly doesn’t think well of Shougui."
"Of course, if I were in Xiao Wu’s position, I wouldn’t think well of him either. But after all, he’s our eldest brother’s son. To say he’s committed some heinous crime, he hasn’t."
"I mean, boys reaching that age and liking girls, that’s perfectly normal!" Thɪs chapter is updated by NovєlFіre.net
"I remember back when you and second sister-in-law met at the market, you were adamant about having our mom find someone to arrange a marriage!"
When Yuan Laidi brought up this old story, Yuan Wangdi smacked Yuan Laidi on the head and said, "Little Third, you’re itching for trouble, huh, daring to joke about your second brother!"
"Second brother, don’t get riled up, don’t get riled up. I just said it without thinking!"
Yuan Laidi saw her second brother gearing up, and quickly ran a few steps to keep some distance.
"Said it without thinking?"
"Why don’t you talk about yourself then?"
Yuan Wangdi snorted, "You really think your second brother doesn’t know, huh? When you met third sister-in-law, who was it that was up at night, helping to harvest crops, hmm..."
"Second brother, I was wrong. I mean, that’s all in the past, don’t let the kids hear it, save face!"
Yuan Laidi quickly pleaded, pretending to slap herself twice on the cheek, "It’s all little brother’s fault, I’m a blabbermouth. I promise, promise I won’t talk nonsense in the future!"
Who hasn’t been young?
Who hasn’t liked a girl before?
Strictly speaking, Yuan Shougui really hasn’t made that big of a mistake.
Of course, Yuan Shougui getting tangled up with that Miss Sheng might drag the family into unavoidable trouble, and his lack of remorse is his fault.
Most importantly, Yuan Shougui’s interest in that Miss Sheng is purely one-sided.
"I’ve been thinking, we’ll have to consult Xiao Wu on this matter, that kid’s got a quick brain."
"If Shougui really does something stupid, he might end up regretting it too."
Yuan Wangdi didn’t dwell on Yuan Laidi’s small mistakes, returning instead to the problem of Yuan Shougui.
"By the way, Little Third, we need to keep this from our dad a bit!"
Yuan Wangdi thought about their father’s temperament and decided it was best to keep him in the dark until things were sorted out.
There’s an old saying, the deeper the love, the harsher the blame.
Old Yuan once had high hopes for his eldest grandson Yuan Shougui, but Yuan Shougui’s actions have greatly disappointed him.
If he were to find out now that Yuan Shougui might become an unstable factor in the Yuan Family, his heart would be even more troubled.
"If you ask me, it’s Big Sister-in-law’s fault. What was she thinking back then? If she hadn’t been pushing things from behind, Shougui wouldn’t necessarily be now!"
Yuan Laidi felt a real bit of resentment over this.
Yuan Wangdi patted Yuan Laidi’s shoulder and said, "Little Third, you mustn’t say such things again!"
Yuan Laidi shrugged, "I only grumble a bit when I’m with you, second brother!"
"Come on, let’s head back and discuss it with Xiao Wu!"
"No matter what, he’s our big nephew. Since Xiao Wu’s taken on the role of an elder, he has to bear this grievance!"
