Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Put a Sack Over Him
"Anyway, I can’t explain it to you clearly right now. You three go to the main room in a bit and have a few drinks, you will have plenty to talk about then. There’s still some Moutai left from last time, I’ll fry up a couple of dishes to go with the drinks."
Lu Aiguo’s aunt spoke with indignation and didn’t want to mention it anymore, then she remembered and called out to Aiguo, "Right, there’s also a letter from Haicheng, later your uncle will bring it to you."
"We can deal with Xie Changgen anytime. But the fact that my second sister moved out so quickly, it must not have been a small matter."
Lu Aiguo was taken aback, his eyes narrowing dangerously, as he asked but also wondered what exactly did Xie Changgen do to make the aunt this angry? Someone outside? It shouldn’t be...
"Isn’t it serious?"
Lu Aibing couldn’t help but interject, "Big brother, you don’t know how dreadful Xie’s devout mother-in-law and oldest sister-in-law are. They ganged up to bully my sister, and then Xie Changgen even took their side. I would have given him a beating if Dad and Mom hadn’t insisted on not letting me go that day."
"My oldest brother-in-law was even muttering about giving him a lesson on his way back with Dad and Mom the other day. You don’t know man, even my oldest brother-in-law got dragged into it... hehe, it got him all frustrated..." Lu Aibing, towards the end, couldn’t help but gloat a little.
Lu Aiguo couldn’t help but want to laugh. Comparing the two brothers-in-law, the older one always seemed to be the better one.
"Go to the main room now and have your drinks, stop talking about this here. It’s uncomfortable for me to listen," said Lu Aiguo’s aunt. Whenever she thought about her daughter’s grievances, she would get enraged. Although things had been resolved perfectly in the end, she still felt a blockage in her heart, she simply couldn’t bear to hear it.
Seeing his aunt’s expression, Lu Aiguo knew she was truly furious, so he immediately nodded and gave Lu Aibing a look to stop talking.
"But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. With Xie Changgen’s eldest sister-in-law being the way she is, the sooner they split, the sooner they can live a comfortable life," Aiguo’s aunt couldn’t stop others from speaking, but she herself sighed again. After speaking, her attention quickly shifted back to the goods Lu Aiguo had brought.
Leave some wild boar meat for tomorrow, the rest should be marinated quickly. The pheasant and wild ducks had their feathers plucked already but still needed to be gutted; they too should be marinated and hung from the roof beams to dry. We’ve had plenty of meat these days, so there’s no need to rush into eating these. The other items also need to be sorted out. If they’re just left there, I’m worried they’ll spoil in the heat.
Zhang Cai, on the other side, kept smiling and didn’t say much. Taking the opportunity, she had already fetched some peanuts to fill a dish, and had put some pickled radishes on another dish, handing it to Lu Aibing while smiling, "These are ready-to-eat, you guys have them with your drinks first, I’ll help mom with the cooking."
"Don’t bother cooking anything else, it’s too much trouble, this is enough," Lu Aiguo shook his head."
"What trouble? Don’t worry about it, just go, drink less and try to get back to sleep early after you’re done," Aiguo’s aunt fetched the Moutai from the cabinet and stuffed it into Lu Aiguo’s hands, waving him away.
Lu Aiguo weighed the bottle in his hand, it was still half full of Moutai, the same one left over from the last time. He chuckled and said, "Auntie, next time don’t stop Uncle from drinking. I’ll find an opportunity to bring more bottles like this one over."
"What’s so good about drinking too much? You guys should also drink less," Aiguo’s aunt glared at the three men.
Uncle Lu just shrugged off her glare nonchalantly, he was used to it. Lu Aiguo and Lu Aibing made faces at each other. One holding the Moutai and the other carrying two dishes of snacks, they followed Uncle Lu to the main room.
As they walked, slowing their pace, Lu Aiguo asked Lu Aibing, "What exactly happened?"
Lu Aibing recounted everything to him in detail, even mentioning the unjust disaster that befell his brother-in-law when he got hit by his own mother’s shoe that night.
As he spoke, Lu Aibing grew more and more indignant, his steps even coming to a halt without him noticing. In the end, he lowered his voice and said to Lu Aiguo with resentment, "One day we should teach him a lesson, simply bag him up in a sack, leave him with a pig-like face, and make sure he has no idea who did it. Right, the brother-in-law said we should count him in if we lay a hand on him."
Lu Aibing was eager to try.
Lu Er Uncle, who had been all ears in front, gave a "cough cough" to signal his presence.
Lu Aiguo held back his laughter and quietly scolded him with a tone of moral righteousness, "Beating someone is definitely not an option, we’re all civilized people, we need to use civilized methods to solve problems."
Lu Aibing looked at him blankly, not catching on in his urgency, "Not hit? Wouldn’t that let him off too easily?"
Who said anything about not hitting?
Such an exquisite opportunity, it shouldn’t be Xie Changgen who gets it, to bully his second sister and then act as if nothing happened?
Lu Aiguo looked at Lu Aibing with a particularly innocent smile, "No time like the present. Help me carry some things tomorrow, we need to have a heart-to-heart with our brother-in-law. I also need to bring some more wild boar meat, and pay a visit to the two uncles in their village, it’s been a long while."
Lu Aibing still hadn’t completely understood.
"What sack? We’re going to ’have a heart-to-heart’ with him in an open and aboveboard manner, so he remembers the lesson. And we can’t hit the face either. How could that be fair to our second sister in front of her father-in-law?"
He said that he had felt something off about his second sister’s in-laws from the start. Not to mention the others, but his second sister’s sister-in-law—when he brought items over during her confinement, she was always there, eyes fixed as if the deliveries were for her. What’s funnier is that she even dared to nitpick the presents he brought over later and had the audacity to suggest what he should bring next time.
The first time, out of respect for his second sister, he didn’t make an issue of it, pretending not to hear. The second time, he indirectly hinted at the matter to his father-in-law. Only after that did she start to rein herself in.
People are of all sorts. He really felt lowering himself to quarrel with her was beneath his dignity.
Seeing the commotion now, they should be glad he doesn’t hit women, but it was still hard to feel satisfied without giving them a lesson. But not being able to teach them a direct lesson did not mean they couldn’t be taught a lesson at all, right?
Seeing Lu Aibing still looking puzzled, he lowered his voice and gave him a hint, "If you’re going to hit, you need to hit where it hurts but won’t cause problems, otherwise, would our second sister have to take care of him?"
"Right," Lu Aibing suddenly realized, "But what does that have to do with bringing the two uncles wild boar meat?"
"There’re still others whose accounts haven’t been settled. It’s only right for a brother-in-law to talk sense into another brother-in-law, but could we possibly involve his mother and siblings too? Or would you rather have people talk behind the backs of our eldest and second sister? Or could you bring yourself to physically assault a woman?"
Finally unable to hold back, Lu Aiguo slapped the back of his head.
