The eldest brother couldn't bear to lose face, "In front of Uncle Mo, what nonsense are you talking about?"
The sister-in-law knew that her tone just now was a bit excessive, but she didn't mean to target anyone. She has always been this kind of character, speaking without thinking.
I wanted to apologize, but there was no way to go down, so I just kept a straight face and said nothing.
Sophie also had a headache. She actually didn't like being involved in such family feuds, but since she had chosen to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, she had no choice but to endure it.
When she was feeling aggrieved, Zhao Dong protected her.
He defended: "Sister-in-law, this matter has nothing to do with Xiaofei. It's all my fault. Because of my matter, everyone didn't even have dinner."
My sister-in-law has a straightforward personality. When she heard this, her face immediately warmed up, "Actually, my sister-in-law is not targeting anyone, Xiaofei, please don't be angry!"
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "How can she? How dare she be angry with her sister-in-law."
"Let's do this. I'll go out and buy some food and come back. Brother, you can chat with Uncle Mo for a while first."
As he said that, he pulled Sophie and said, "Let's go together."
Uncle Mo teased at the right time, "Xiaodong, what's the matter with you kid? Uncle Mo comes here once in a while, why can't you even ask your wife to chat with me for a while?"
"You're just going out for a while, but you still have to take your wife with you?"
"Do you love your wife so much?"
One sentence made everyone burst into laughter.
Zhao Dong also laughed, "Uncle Mo, don't I have no money? If you don't follow me when it comes to money, I can't show my face, right?"
Uncle Mo laughed and scolded, "You bastard, get out of here!"
…
Zhao Dong pulled Sophie downstairs. As he walked, he suddenly couldn't hold her any longer.
Turning around, I saw that the woman had a pouted mouth that could almost have an oil bottle hanging on it.
He was almost amused, "What's wrong?"
Sophie stamped her foot, "Not happy!"
Zhao Dong coaxed and said: "Sister-in-law is just like that, don't take it to heart."
Sophie snorted, "I think my sister-in-law is biased against me. During the time we lived at home, we made an agreement and paid for the food. Why do you say that to me?"
Zhao Dong tried to persuade him, "My sister-in-law is either targeting you, or she is just deliberately trying to make me angry."
Sophie raised her head, "I don't care!"
As she said that, her eyes suddenly became sharp, "Zhao Dong, let me ask you something. If your sister-in-law and I really have a quarrel in the future, who will you help?"
Zhao Dong didn't hesitate at all, "That must be to help my wife!"
Sophie curled her lips, "Bah, shameless, who is your wife? Did I promise to marry you?"
As she said that, she walked forward.
From an angle that Zhao Dong couldn't see, the corners of her mouth slowly raised.
To be honest, when Zhao Dong was wronged just now, he was able to protect her in his arms in the first place, which made me feel indescribably moved and happy.
After all, from today on, she no longer has the support of the Su family.
If she really fell out with her sister-in-law, and Zhao Dong didn't protect her, she wouldn't even have a natal family she could rely on.
It’s scary just thinking about it!
Fortunately, Zhao Dong explained everything with his practical actions.
Unlike before, when she had any grievances, this guy just stood there like a tree.
Thinking about it, she stopped.
Zhao Dong chased after him, "What's wrong?"
Sophie said forcefully, "I can't walk anymore, please carry me."
Zhao Dong raised his eyebrows, "Sophie, do you really think of yourself as a queen?"
Sophie also raised her eyebrows, "Yes, I am the queen. Do you bear it?"
Zhao Dong immediately surrendered, "Back to back!"
When someone was lying on her shoulder, she came over like a kitten, "Zhao Dong... what do you think Uncle Mo's relationship is with your family? I always feel that he is not simple at all!"
Zhao Dong corrected, "It's our family!"
Sophie pinched him and said, "Speak quickly!"
Zhao Dong recalled, "Nothing, just my dad's comrade-in-arms."
Sophie continued to ask, "Oh, what does he do?"
Zhao Dong explained, "It seems to be the leader of a company. He doesn't want to say more about work, and I don't want to ask in detail."
As he said that, he turned his head suspiciously, "What's wrong? Do you think he is a particularly decent person?"
Sophie guessed intuitively: "Well, I can't put it into words, I always feel like he is a big leader."
Zhao Dong lifted the person up and said, "Uncle Mo is just like that. It will be fine when you get to know him better in the future. He is like an old child."
…
On the other side, on the rooftop of the Zhao family
The eldest brother knew that the two old men had something to say, so he put down two cups of hot tea and left.
Uncle Mo held a cigarette and said, "Sister-in-law, if I hadn't happened to catch up with this matter today, would you have really wanted to send Xiaodong in?"
Mother Zhao hates that iron cannot become steel, "What else? If I don't teach him a long lesson, he will never know how high the sky is!"
"Because I have been a soldier for several years, and because I have some abilities, I am becoming more and more courageous!"
“Never do things without considering the consequences!”
Uncle Mo said favorably: "Young people are energetic and have a sense of justice. This is a good thing. I don't think there is anything wrong with it!"
"Besides, you don't want to see who the other party is?"
"The Yang family's little bully is unruly, arrogant, and lawless. I've heard of him all over the province!"
"Besides, he's not doing it for himself, or to bring his daughter-in-law back to you?"
Mother Zhao laughed, "Just pamper him!"
"If it weren't for Xiao Fei, do you think I would have nothing to do with this matter today? He would have to let the Yang family skin him!"
Uncle Mo teased, "You can tell me, if something happens to Xiaodong, I think you are more anxious than anyone else!"
Mother Zhao asked back, "And you, don't think I don't know what you think!"
"You were waiting outside the Public Security Bureau on purpose just now, didn't you just want to give this brat a piece of tiger skin?"
"With your skin, aren't you afraid that he will make a hole in the sky for you?"
Uncle Mo blew out the smoke and said, "I believe Xiaodong!"
"Besides, there's nothing wrong with me taking advantage of my tiger skin."
"Are you willing to let Xiaodong have his back stabbed by someone from the Su family?"
As he spoke, he sighed, "Besides, the eldest brother left early, leaving only such a small amount of incense. If I don't protect him, who will?"
"If you ask me, you just want to save face!"
"Back then I had to send Xiaodong to serve as a soldier, but the result was not good. Not only did I get injured all over, but I also got into a lot of trouble!"
"If you listen to me and let him go to the police academy, I can always take care of him."
"Why are there still all these troubles now? You might as well have your grandson in your arms!"
…
While chatting, time passed quickly.
Not long after, there was a noise coming from downstairs.
When the two of them went down, Zhao Xiaoman was jumping up and down, holding a large bag of snacks in his hand.
The sister-in-law scolded, "You bastard, why don't you thank your aunt quickly?"
Zhao Xiaoman smiled and finished eating in a few mouthfuls before being sent back to sleep.
The family finally had a reunion dinner.
During the dinner, Uncle Mo was in a good mood and drank a lot of wine with Zhao Dong and his eldest brother accompanying him.
Sophie has a small appetite, so she finished the food first.
She didn't get off the table, just sat aside and listened quietly to the three men chatting.
It was sudden, and I don’t know if it was the novelty that caused it, but an indescribable feeling of happiness filled my heart.
This was something I had never experienced in the Su family before.
After dinner, she took the initiative to help her sister-in-law clean up the dishes.
The result was not what I expected. When I was about to take a break, trouble came!
The original guest room was converted into a study room by Zhao Dong, and he occupied another room himself.
Now when Uncle Mo comes, he has no place to live.
While she was struggling, Sophie spoke up, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you quickly clean up your room for Uncle Mo?"
With that said, she went back to the house without looking back.
Zhao Dong was a little confused, what does this mean?
