Chapter 500: 463 Divine Husband (1 more)

"No respect for elders, your kid is going to lose money today," Tang Shengyi cursed his own grandnephew like an old child.

Tang Qixiang’s face darkened: "..."

Uncle sure has a vicious tongue, but today he wasn’t going to play cards. He sat down only to help his wife shuffle a couple of hands.

He didn’t need to step into the kitchen at noon, but he did have to take care of the kids. Today was his day to be a doting dad.

Sitting opposite, Tang Qiwen laughed at her big brother, "Who asked you to provoke Uncle Three?"

"Hey, I’m your big brother, and you’re not even speaking up for me?"

"I side with reason, not with family."

"Alright, alright, everyone is so nobly principled; just me, a mundane villain, okay then?"

Hu Yutong, who had just finished nursing the baby, came over and patted Tang Qixiang, signaling him to get up and move, "Get your little son to sleep."

"Okay, honey, win big," Tang Qixiang said with a smile as he gently received the little son from his wife’s hands.

"Sister-in-law, big brother just offended Uncle Three. Uncle said he’s going to lose by himself today," Tang Qiwen tattled.

Hu Yutong saw Third Aunt at the playing table when she came in. She greeted Su Ruoan, who found the child adorable but refrained from touching him because she had just handled the mahjong tiles.

"I’ll hold him after I finish playing cards," Su Ruoan said, being a doctor, she was particularly conscious about health and hygiene.

Hu Yutong acknowledged with an ’okay’ and then came to urge Tang Qixiang to go take care of the children.

After the New Year passed, their second child would be eight months old and ready to be weaned.

She had thought about weaning the child and finding a job, but then her mother-in-law suggested that while weaning was fine, there was no rush to get a job—best to wait until her body was fully recovered.

Thinking there was no hurry to work after weaning, Hu Yutong, too, felt sorry for her child and decided to let him enjoy a few more months of breast milk.

"Why are you so rude with your mouth?" Hu Yutong scolded directly, not giving Tang Qixiang any face in front of her mother-in-law, Li Mingfang.

On this side, Li Mingfang chimed in, "Isn’t that the truth? He’s been like that since he was little."

Tang Qixiang: "..."

Great, a room full of women; he couldn’t afford to offend any, especially with such a difficult son to care for in his arms.

Forget it, let’s leave.

"Son, let’s go. Daddy will take you upstairs to sleep," Tang Qixiang said, cooing at his murmuring little son as he walked away.

"Sister-in-law, my big brother sure knows how to step down gracefully," Tang Qiwen shook her head.

"If he doesn’t step down by himself, should I be the one to build him a staircase? He’s not the emperor now, is he?"

"Hmm, he’s not the emperor, but in the future, you’ll definitely be the Empress Dowager," Tang Qiwen teased her sister-in-law.

Hu Yutong just smiled and said nothing. She didn’t wish to be the Empress Dowager; after all, she was content to have married Tang Qixiang, who adored and doted on her. Otherwise, in this era when many women were even scared to get married, why would she have given Tang Qixiang a son and a daughter?

Moreover, her in-laws were also quite good to her. She had control over the family’s finances. Tang Qixiang never kept any secret funds, and even if he did, she wouldn’t need to step in—her mother-in-law had plenty of ways to deal with it.

In fact, Tang Qixiang didn’t need to keep any secret funds; he was good to her, and she naturally wouldn’t let him lose face. Whenever Tang Qixiang went out, he always had more than enough money in his pocket.

After a while, Tang Su and Lu Han came over with two large plates of washed fruits for the Chinese New Year and distributed them to the hard-working card players.

"Aunt, Second Aunt, hello, Auntie Li," Tang Su greeted the elders proactively.

"Tang Su, that’s your husband, right? He’s so handsome," the neighbor Auntie Li was captivated by Lu Han’s charisma. She knew Tang Su was married but nobody told her Tang Su’s husband was this handsome.

No matter the age, women always take a second look at a handsome man.

So good-looking. She’d never seen a man this handsome up close in her life—this young fellow was certainly more handsome than those TV celebrities and male models.

"Thank you Auntie Li, this is my husband, Lu Han."

"Auntie Li, Happy New Year." Lu Han greeted her with shyness and was pleased when the Tang Family’s visiting neighbors complimented him on his good looks.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

"Auntie Li, have some fruit." Lu Han gave her a box of individually wrapped large durians, and grabbed a handful of cherries for her too.

"Oh, thank you, these fruits are so expensive. I’ll just have a couple of these cherries. I really can’t get myself to eat durian, better give it to someone else."

"Alright, then have more of these cherries." Lu Han took back the durian and grabbed another handful of cherries to put on the saucer.

"Okay, okay, thank you, that’s enough, that’s enough."

On the other hand, Tang Su’s sisters and sisters-in-law were banging on the table, "Tang Su, brother-in-law, we want to eat durians."

"Coming, coming, there’s plenty of durians for today." Lu Han agreed, delivering what they wanted with extra eagerness, "Sisters-in-law all have good luck, everyone’s winning money."

New Year’s is the time to speak auspicious words.

"Everyone’s winning money? Then who’s losing? The table?" Tang Qiwen laughed at the joke.

Lu Han was indeed handsome, but they were all married women, and their appreciation of Lu Han’s looks was purely that.

Moreover, he was Tang Su’s husband. They were all happy for Tang Su that she found such a handsome husband and genuinely congratulated her.

Nobody felt jealous.

This was also why Tang Su loved returning to the Tang Family for New Year’s every year. When the cousins were together, it was straightforward, unlike the Su Family people with their myriad of scheming thoughts.

"If anyone loses, it’ll be on me, is that okay with all the sisters-in-law?" Lu Han offered sincerely.

"Tang Su, where on earth did you find this godly husband? We like him so much!" Tang Su’s sisters-in-law made no secret of their fondness for Lu Han.

"I like him too." Tang Su walked over, "Who’s winning?"

"Right now, the eldest sister-in-law is winning," Tang Qiwen said.

"So, my dad isn’t all snarky, huh." Tang Su was aware of the earlier incident in the mahjong room.

"Our third uncle is snarky, but he’s no half-immortal," everyone chimed in again.

"Besides durians and cherries, which are the New Year’s staple fruits, what else do we have?"

"Bananas, apples, oranges."

"Oranges, Tang Su, peel one for your second sister-in-law, thank you." Tang Siyuan’s wife, Chen Cheng, asked without hesitation, and, with a loud shout of "Hu", she took the opponent’s tiles, chuckling, "Thanks for the leniency."

Opposite her, Tang Su’s third sister-in-law, Bao Jing, knew Chen Cheng must have won a splendid victory.

Sure enough, Chen Cheng had an outstanding hand, wagering five yuan for a full eighty points. With this win, Chen Cheng was set to cash in eighty yuan.

"Wow, that’s fierce," Tang Su said, not playing cards herself but understanding the game.

"Your husband says it’s on him," Bao Jing pouted, wincing at the thought, "Brother-in-law, will you keep your word?"

"Yes." Lu Han gave an affirmative answer.

"Is that right, Tang Su?" Bao Jing wasn’t quite convinced by Lu Han’s promise. In their own home, wasn’t Tang Su the real head of the household, not this brother-in-law?

"Third sister-in-law, Lu Han is the head of our household. What he says goes, so play without worry," Tang Su confirmed Lu Han’s promise.

"Wow, thank you. If I win money, I’ll split it with the two of you." Free from the pressure to pay out of her pocket, Bao Jing instantly felt spirited.

At this moment, there was a gathering of children outside the Tang Family’s door.

Tang Su looked helplessly at Lu Han. It was his problem to solve, and it was up to him to deal with it.
