Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Can’t Be Underestimated
He was yet again taken to greet a few aunts.
Eldest Aunt Zhao glanced at Xiaoxiao, her eyes full of displeasure.
"I thought Xiao Shitou no longer recognized his aunt. We arrived, and nobody even called out to greet us."
See, they act like the younger generation doesn’t respect their elders.
Zhao Tianlei, acting as if he hadn’t fully understood the implication of Eldest Aunt Zhao’s words, said nonchalantly, "There’s nothing I can do about it. Today, my wife and I aren’t the stars of the show; we too are just guests. I even thought Eldest Aunt had struck it rich and didn’t recognize her nephew anymore."
Not only dismissing it but also throwing the blame back.
It’s undeniable, Zhao Tianlei sure knew how to speak.
"Eldest Aunt, I saw you a few years ago, but it hasn’t been that long since we last met, and I almost didn’t recognize you. If it weren’t for Da Bao’s father guiding me over to greet the relatives, I wouldn’t have dared to recognize you. You’ve aged quite a bit in these years, probably worn out from worrying about your children and grandchildren, right? Ah, the children shall have their own blessings, you should stop worrying at your age."
The tone shifted, "Like my parents, they just handed off responsibilities to us, letting us educate our children and take care of the home."
This speech turned Eldest Aunt Zhao’s face from green to red, then to white, undergoing several rounds of changes.
Second Aunt Zhao, standing nearby, was completely flabbergasted.
This niece-in-law really couldn’t be underestimated.
Look at that, without using a single swear word, she had squeezed Eldest Aunt tight.
Pointing out how Eldest Aunt had aged a lot since their last meeting years ago.
Zhao Tianlei remained expressionless, yet he was quite pleased internally.
When he had first taken a wife, this Eldest Aunt had not spared him the acid remarks.
Saying what would happen when he married an Educated Youth, when she returned to the city?
Even criticized that the Educated Youth was too delicate for hard labor.
Further claimed that Educated Youth were too weak to bear sons, among other things.
He had remembered all of it.
His own wife, he wouldn’t even dare to speak loudly to her.
And why couldn’t his wife bear sons?
He indeed had two sons.
"Is this how you respect your elders?"
Xiaoxiao flashed a smile, "Eldest Aunt, look at me forgetting again. The truth hurts, my mistake. Of late, you must be tired; a few more wrinkles have appeared on your face."
"You..." Normally, Eldest Aunt Zhao was quite articulate, but now facing Xiaoxiao, she was at a loss for words.
"Xiaoxiao, today is indeed the joyous day of your big brother and second brother’s families; we still need to help them host the other relatives."
Then turning to the other aunts, she said, "Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt, Youngest Aunt, we’re going to attend to other relatives now. Please forgive us for any lack of hospitality."
After Zhao Tianlei finished speaking, he quickly pulled his wife away, afraid that Eldest Aunt might succumb to her anger soon.
But he was still very pleased; Eldest Aunt totally had it coming.
Knowing well that there were many guests today, and he had even seen his mother talking with the aunts earlier, he intentionally told his mother that the younger generation hadn’t come to greet them.
Now, they had indeed come together to greet them.
"Wife, well done, keep it up, we can’t afford to be on the losing end," Zhao Tianlei, holding Xiaoxiao’s hand and all smiles, said this to her.
Not angry?
She indeed had squeezed the elder in her words.
And even upset the elder.
"I’m not angry, I’m actually happy. When I was little and my cousins bullied me, Eldest Aunt simply said, ’It’s just children fighting.’ And later, when I grew up a bit, I fought back."
The male lead holds grudges?
