Rebirth: Contract Husband Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 257 - 129: Persuading the Eldest Sister (Part 2)

"Where are you going?" Shi Fengju panicked, grabbing her firmly.

"Making room for you!" Sang Wan said indifferently, "You sleep on the bed, and I’ll sleep on the floor."

"Forget it! You can sleep!" Shi Fengju also couldn’t help getting somewhat angry, pulled down the bed curtains with a stern face, and angrily prepared his bedding on the floor from the wardrobe.

Sang Wan ignored him and continued to lie down to sleep.

The cold war between the two began, and the atmosphere in Ningyuan started to feel weird. Although the two masters were still polite and courteous on the surface, it just made one feel uncomfortable all over being in their midst.

After hearing from Shi Fenghua about the misunderstanding, Shi Yumei’s face couldn’t hide her embarrassment, so she said, "Then why didn’t you call your brother-in-law to go out with you today? What does it mean to leave him behind like that!"

Shi Fenghua didn’t have the nerve to say that they deliberately excluded the brother-in-law; he could only say, "The classmates from our school wanted to meet Sang Jieyuan; they specifically asked for Second Brother Sang to go, I had no choice!"

Seeing her brother speak with such conviction, Shi Yumei ran out of objections and had to give up.

Shi Fengju then said, "Elder sister, you know, Brother-in-law, Second Uncle, and Third Brother are quite different in age and experience; what topics could Brother-in-law possibly have in common with them? There’s no need for Brother-in-law to feel embarrassed; he can just focus on his studies in the banana garden, he doesn’t have to keep them company all day just for the sake of face!"

This was just like timely rain! Shi Fenghua couldn’t wait to agree eagerly, "Yes, yes, sister! Brother-in-law’s words are too profound, we don’t understand them! And if it delays Brother-in-law’s studies, that would be even worse! From now on, there’s no need to call him over!"

"Really? You don’t understand what he is saying?" Shi Yumei was delighted and asked hastily, "Does Sang Jieyuan also say the same?"

"Of course..." Shi Fenghua replied with a forced smile.

"I knew it, your brother-in-law has real knowledge!" Shi Yumei said proudly, then generously patted Shi Fenghua on the shoulder, "You’re my brother, we’re family. It’s only right for your brother-in-law to guide you, how is that a waste of time? However, humph, we can’t let the Sang family take advantage! Don’t let him listen for free! Wait until he leaves, then your brother-in-law can give you personal guidance. Who knows, maybe in the next examination, our family will have a proper Xie Yuan and won’t need to rely on others!"

Shi Fenghua complied with a vague smile, thinking to himself that once Second Brother Sang leaves, he’d better hurry back to school; he couldn’t help but sympathize with his sister: How could she have agreed to such a marriage in the first place!

"Of course, it would be great if our Fenghua becomes a Xie Yuan!" Mrs. Wang loved hearing this, but she reproached Shi Yumei, "Yumei, you too, stop talking about the Sang family like that in the future. We’re now related by marriage; how would Miss Wan feel hearing you talk like this? At my age, how much longer can I protect you? In the future, you’ll still need Miss Wan to look after you!"

"Who needs her to look after me!" Shi Yumei snorted, "Aren’t Fengju and Fenghua my real brothers? Besides, we have cousin Fangzi! I, Shi Yumei, certainly do not need her!"

"Yumei!" Mrs. Wang’s face darkened, "Don’t talk nonsense! No matter what, Miss Wan is now the main lady of the Shi family. If you keep behaving like this, where will her authority stand? How can she manage the household?"

"What does her inability to establish authority have to do with me? If she cannot hold her own, what can I possibly do to her? Mother, you can’t blame everything on me!" Shi Yumei felt unjustly treated.

"You!" Mrs. Wang was so angry she was at a loss for words.

"Mother, stop talking such disheartening things, you are still in good health, and there are plenty of blessings for you left to enjoy. At the very least, Third Brother has to earn an official title for you, right? Why speak of such things!" Shi Fengju said with a laugh.

"Oh, if that day really comes, I would die in peace!" Mrs. Wang couldn’t help but beam with joy again.

"Mother! Big brother just said not to talk like that; look at you, you’re at it again! Your son will certainly not disappoint you!" Shi Fenghua said with renewed enthusiasm and a smile.

"That’s right, mother, with Third Brother being so smart, such a day will surely come!" Shi Yumei added with a laugh.

Shi Fengju then said to Shi Yumei, "Elder sister, we are siblings of the same mother; this family’s door will always be open to you. No one in this home can upset or bully you!"

"I knew it; I haven’t doted on my brother for nothing!" Shi Yumei’s heart warmed, and her eyes couldn’t help but moisten a bit. Mrs. Wang also felt tremendously relieved upon hearing this. Compared to Sang Wan, what mattered more to her was the attitude of her own children. Since her son said so, it eased her worries.

"Elder sister, if you ever feel wronged in the future, could you please talk to me first? I will definitely seek justice for you!" The implication was, please don’t be impulsive, don’t take matters into your own hands.

In the end, you’re still protecting Sang Wan! Shi Yumei’s expression turned slightly disagreeable.

Mrs. Wang, however, greatly agreed, nodding repeatedly, "What Fengju said is right! It should be just like that!"

"If mother says so, what can I possibly say?" Shi Yumei rolled her eyes at Shi Fengju, "Alright! I won’t trouble her in the future!"

"Elder sister!" Shi Fengju was left speechless, with only a bitter smile. Her forthrightness, he really didn’t know if it was a good or bad thing!

Shi Yumei had initially been a bit apprehensive, fearing her brother would remind her of the need to apologize to Sang Wan; to her relief, Shi Fengju only joked about other matters, and never mentioned a word about the apology.

Shi Yumei felt secretly relieved; upon further thought, it made sense. After all, she was the eldest miss of the Shi family, how could she possibly apologize unconditionally to that Sang family girl? Wishful thinking! Of course, if she were wrong, an apology would indeed be necessary.

Feeling justified in her heart, so when Shi Yumei encountered Sang Wan head-on in the garden, she snorted haughtily, raised her head high, and walked past. She had initially intended to mock her, but remembering the promise to her brother, she restrained herself.
