Chapter 418 - 0418: The Hardship of Being a Brother-in-Law

Chapter 418: Chapter 0418: The Hardship of Being a Brother-in-Law

The mahjong table was made of rosewood; it wasn’t automatic, so you had to shuffle the tiles yourself.

A blanket was spread on top, draping over their legs.

Lin Shanshan was up to mischief underneath, but the people above couldn’t detect it.

Long Fei always kept his distance from this little aunt. With just a squint of her eyes, he knew what she was plotting.

Her tiny feet were soft and smooth. She was signaling even before the game had started, clearly intending for him to cheat.

Probably worried he wouldn’t understand, the little aunt even specially reminded him, "Brother-in-law, make sure to play well. Don’t let me win by mistake, I want to win on my own draw!"

Long Fei had a headache; she wanted to win on her own draw, what did it mean to involve him?

Lin Guodong laughed, "With your level of playing, you want to win on your own draw? Prepare to lose money!"

Lin Shanshan pouted, "What’s with me? Just wait and see. I’ll beat you all till you’re penniless!"

"Who’s so full of hot air!"

Yu Hui and Lin Yingying brought over a big bowl and placed it in front of Long Fei.

Lin Yingying called out, "Mom was afraid you didn’t eat enough, so she saved some Bear Paw Soup especially for you. Drink up!"

Previously at the banquet, none of the group had managed to eat bear paw.

It caused a frenzy as soon as it was served.

Long Fei indeed hadn’t eaten his fill, but his mother-in-law was overestimating him, bringing over a bowl even bigger than a basin.

He glanced at Lin Yingying, sure that she was the culprit making him look like a big eater.

While handling the mahjong tiles, Lin Shanshan cooed at her mother, "Mom, you really do forget your daughters once you have a son-in-law! Why does only brother-in-law get soup, where’s mine?"

Yu Hui gave her a look, laughing softly, "You talk too much. It’s your brother-in-law’s first visit, of course, I have to treat him well. I’ve taken care of you for eighteen years, what’s wrong with taking a day off?"

Everyone at the table burst into laughter.

Long Fei drank the soup, looking at them with envy.

He had grown up without parents and didn’t know what maternal love felt like.

Watching their mother-daughter joking around, it felt really warm.

Yu Hui must have been a great beauty in her youth.

At forty-five or six, her facial skin was so well-maintained it didn’t have a single wrinkle.

Her figure was well cared for too, with a black figure-hugging dress and hair tied up, she looked very elegant.

Especially those curved eyes, they were the spitting image of Lin Shanshan’s.

Lin Yingying, on the other hand, looked more like her father, lacking a bit of playfulness but with more poise and dignity.

Once the mahjong was set, Lin Yingying smiled and asked, "How big are we playing today?"

Lin Shanshan held out a little hand, "Keep it simple. A hundred grand for a win or a ’kong’, double that for a self-drawn win, so two hundred thousand!"

Lin Guodong said, "We’re all family here, no need to go overboard, why play so big?"

Lin Shanshan exclaimed, "Exactly because we’re family, we should play big! It’s all in the family whether we win or lose, no heartache if we do lose!"

After saying that, her toes spread out, pinching Long Fei, signaling him to hurry and agree.

Long Fei chuckled dryly to himself, thinking this little aunt was intent on making a fortune through mahjong.

He asked, "A hundred thousand isn’t much, but we don’t have that much cash on hand, do we?"

Lin Shanshan said, "That’s simple. Each of us just takes a sheet of paper. Whether we win or lose, we just keep a note. Then we can transfer the money directly from our bank accounts."

Yu Hui glanced at her and reminded, "Let’s get one thing straight, play with your own money. If you lose, don’t come asking me for it!"

Lin Shanshan laughed mischievously, "You’re joking, I’m the gambling god incarnate. How could I possibly lose?"

She looked at Long Fei with a twinkle in her eye, "Brother-in-law, I’m right, aren’t I?"

"Right, right!"

Long Fei nodded; his body tickled by her behavior.

This disrespectful little thing, her legs sure were long.

Her tiny foot started out just touching the top of his foot, and now it had slid up his leg.

Luckily, Long Fei had a strong will, otherwise, he would have definitely shouted out.

Lin Shanshan then purposely asked, "Brother-in-law, you seem to look a little pale, you okay?"

"Probably drank too much soup!"

Long Fei chuckled awkwardly to cover up, reaching under to move her soft little foot away.

But like a sticking plaster, in no time she slid it back up his leg.

For goodness’ sake, in front of everyone, he really couldn’t resist and let her fool around.

After drawing the tiles, his eyes swept over them, making out everyone’s hand clearly.

Lin Yingying was busy with other things, she told Long Fei to finish the hot soup in one go.

She cleared up and began working on her laptop while sitting on the sofa.

Yu Hui looked at Long Fei. She hadn’t believed her daughter’s claim that Long Fei ate a lot.

Now she had finally witnessed it. He had finished an entire large bowl of Bear Paw Soup in just two or three gulps.

His stomach was truly bigger than that of Lu Zhishen.

My goodness, she was lucky their family wasn’t short on money, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to afford their son-in-law’s meals.

Lin Guodong had a good hand, and after three or four rounds, he joyfully exclaimed, "Watch out, I’m ready to win!"

The Mahjong game they played was quite simple.

You could chow, you could pung.

You could kong, you could win, you could draw a winning tile yourself.

Before winning, you must declare your readiness to win.

Once ready, you can’t change your hand.

Whatever tile you draw, if it isn’t a self-drawn win, you must discard it immediately.

Lin Shanshan became a bit anxious. She couldn’t let her wild claim fall apart in the first round.

Her hand was still a mess. When it was Long Fei’s turn to draw, she hastily hooked her toes twice against the top of Long Fei’s foot.

Obviously, she wanted a two of bamboo!

Even if Long Fei couldn’t see her hand, he could guess it.

A sister-in-law was meant to be cherished, and seeing her pitiful little look, Long Fei carelessly discarded a two of bamboo.

He wasn’t planning on winning anyway. Tonight was simply about spending money to make his sister-in-law and mother-in-law happy.

As long as he ensured the two of them didn’t lose, that was enough.

Lin Shanshan was thrilled. Without waiting for Yu Hui to draw, she cheerfully called out, "Chow!"

She pushed forward a one and three of bamboo, picked up the two of bamboo, and placed it in the middle.

Yu Hui complained, "How can you eat everything? You really have a big appetite!"

"Can’t help it, I’m just lucky!"

Lin Shanshan giggled, nudged her nose towards Long Fei, and thought to herself how smart her brother-in-law was.

From that point on, she cheated without any restraint.

When she wanted character tiles, she’d draw a circle on Long Fei’s foot with her little foot.

For bamboo, she’d outright write the character.

After a few turns, she continued to chow and pung, following Lin Guodong’s lead by declaring her readiness to win.

If Long Fei hadn’t let Yu Hui win a few tiles, allowing the future mother-in-law to chow and pung a couple of times,

Yu Hui would have almost thought he and Lin Shanshan were cheating.

"Ah, what lousy luck!"

Long Fei put on a helpless face, and in accordance with the tile Lin Shanshan was waiting for, carelessly discarded one, two of characters!

Lin Shanshan jumped up excitedly, knocked over the Mahjong tiles, and joyfully shouted, "I won, with a two of characters in the middle!"

The winning tile she needed was terrible.

Two of characters had already been discarded twice, Yu Hui had one, and the one Long Fei discarded was a unique tile.

"Haha, do you acknowledge my win?"

Lin Shanshan happily picked up the money, asking the three players to sign for the record.

"You’re just lucky!"

Yu Hui shook her head.

Lin Guodong sighed, "I had such a good hand, and yet I couldn’t win from the beginning to the end. Alas, such misfortune!"

Long Fei secretly chuckled to himself. It wasn’t a misfortune; it was his daughter cheating.

The four played until midnight. Fearing that Lin Guodong and Yu Hui might notice something was amiss—which would be troubling—

Yu Hui felt embarrassed by the end, seeing that Long Fei had lost five or six million, and she pressed down on the Mahjong tiles, saying, "It’s getting late; shall we stop here?"

Lin Guodong agreed. After playing all night, the winning tiles he was supposed to have were always snatched by Lin Shanshan, leaving him feeling terribly frustrated.

Yu Hui had won a little, and he, like Long Fei, had lost over two million—all to his daughter.

Lin Shanshan checked the time, took out her phone happily, and said, "Okay, let’s stop here and settle the accounts!"

Long Fei let out a relieved but wry smile, quickly transferring the money via his phone.

This little sister-in-law was really a handful.

If they continued to play, Lin Shanshan would have been the death of him.

After drinking so much Bear Paw Soup, his body was all heated up, and he couldn’t handle this kind of teasing.

He turned his head to glance at Lin Yingying on the sofa, his eyes nearly glowing green.

The little sister-in-law had been naughty; it was up to her big sister to make amends!
