Chapter 187 - 187 The Cunning Brother-In-Law



187 The Cunning Brother-In-Law

Su Binglan said smilingly, “Okay, I can’t argue with that.”

Old Madam Su patted her granddaughter’s hand and said, “Good.”

...

“Here, Grandma. Taste my barbecued lamb skewers.”

“I know it will be delicious, Binglan.”

Everyone was considerate of Luo Jin’an’s condition and would only allow him to help season the lamb skewers so he would not get tired. Of course, Luo Jin’an could not help but look at his wife.

Suddenly, Su Wenzhe came over with a lamb skewer. He noticed Luo Jin’an’s gaze and chuckled as he nudged Luo Jin’an’s arm with his elbow. Then he said, “I caught you looking at my sister.”

Luo Jin’an quickly shifted his gaze and silently lowered his head to put the barbecued lamb skewers on the table.

Su Wenzhe looked around and found there was no one nearby. He moved closer to his brother-in-law and whispered, “I saw how you were looking at Binglan.”

Luo Jin’an glanced at Su Wenzhe, and Su Wenzhe felt goosebumps all over his body. He thought it was bizarre and wondered why Luo Jin’an seemed different from before.

Luo Jin’an would always lower his head and remain quiet as if he did not exist in the past, but his aura was extraordinary now. Su Wenzhe’s legs became weak when Luo Jin’an looked at him.

Still, Su Wenzhe was Su Binglan’s eldest brother, so why would he be afraid of Luo Jin’an? He thought it must have been a misunderstanding. Su Wenzhe continued, “Don’t be embarrassed. You’re married to Binglan, which makes you my brother-in-law. It’s okay to look at my sister like that.”

He looked at Su Binglan and said, “I’m also aware of how great my sister is. Fortunately, she lives with us in the village. Countless handsome men would chase after her if she stayed in the city.”

Su Wenzhe could not help but say that because he saw how everyone surrounded his sister.

Luo Jin’an’s expression turned cold as he looked at Su Wenzhe and said, “That’s your lamb skewer, right? Do you want me to add seasoning?”

Su Wenzhe nodded and handed over his lamb skewer. “Yes, I just barbecued it. I’d like some seasoning.”

“Okay.” Luo Jin’an took the lamb skewer from Su Wenzhe and added the seasoning, but Su Wenzhe overlooked his brother-in-law’s actions.

“There you go.” Luo Jin’an handed the lamb skewer back to Su Wenzhe.

“Oh, thanks!” Su Wenzhe took the lamb skewer and ate it. Suddenly, he exclaimed, “Whoa, that’s spicy!”

He put down the lamb skewer, stuck his tongue out, and kept fanning it with his hands. It was so spicy that he started jumping up and down as tears filled his eyes.

Everyone was busy talking when they heard the commotion. They looked over and asked, “What’s going on?”

“It’s so spicy!” Su Wenzhe was on the verge of crying. He could barely speak because his mouth was burning from the spice.

“Quick, drink some water,” Liu Yinyin hurriedly said, “Aunt Liu, do you have some water?”

“There’s some in the kettle. I’ll go and get some right away!” Madam Liu hurriedly ran to the stove to pour water for Su Wenzhe.

However, the water was still steaming. “It’s still hot because I just boiled it.”

Liu Yinyin said anxiously, “You’ll have to drink the water from the bucket, Wenzhe.” She hurriedly picked up a ladle and scooped some water to hand it to her husband.

Su Wenzhe quickly took the ladle and downed the water. He felt a bit better, but the spiciness lingered in his mouth.

Shen Qiuhua said, “You said you can’t handle spicy food, so why did you use the spicy seasoning?”

Su Wenzhe pointed at Luo Jin’an and said, “I-It was Jin’an. He was the one who put the spicy seasoning on my lamb skewer.”

Shen Qiuhua hit Su Wenzhe. “It’s your fault. Don’t blame your brother-in-law.”

Su Fengmao echoed. “Your mother is right. Jin’an is usually better at doing things than you, so you were the one who must’ve used the spicy seasoning.”

Everyone was biased toward Luo Jin’an and Su Binglan. Besides, they were familiar with Luo Jin’an’s temperament and knew he was an honest person.

He was not in good health, yet he always helped and would not rest even if others told him to. Everyone felt sorry for him and could not bear to let others frame him.

Su Binglan walked over and asked, “Big Brother, did you tell Jin’an to put seasoning on your lamb skewer?”

Su Wenzhe said with a pitiful expression, “I honestly didn’t. Your husband was the one who did it.” He was innocent, after all.

Su Binglan looked at her husband and asked gently, “Is that so?”

Luo Jin’an sighed and said, “Well, he did ask for some seasoning.”

‘I knew it! He did it, but he’s acting as if nothing happened.’

Still, everyone felt sorry for Luo Jin’an.

Shen Qiuhua was furious. “Don’t bully your brother-in-law into doing things for you next time, Wenzhe. You must treat Jin’an well since he’s a part of our family.”

Su Fengmao added, “Exactly. You can’t blame your brother-in-law for doing what you asked him to.”

Liu Yinyin echoed, “Binglan and Jin’an are so good to us, so how can you blame Jin’an?”

Su Wenzhe felt his heart burning hotter than the spice in his mouth. However, he was skeptical and wondered if he really did tell Luo Jin’an to add the spicy seasoning.

He had forgotten what he had said just now. ‘Did I really ask Jin’an to add the spicy seasoning?’

Everyone laughed when they saw Su Wenzhe’s reaction to the spiciness.

“The spicy seasoning is delicious! You should try more of it next time.”

“Yeah, I agree.”

Su Binglan handed Luo Jin’an the lamb skewers she had barbecued herself and said, “Don’t work so hard and have some food. The others can add seasoning for themselves if they want. Come and sit with me.”

“Okay.” Luo Jin’an sat next to his wife.

Su Binglan talked to Luo Jin’an while she continued barbecuing more lamb skewers. She had planned to go to the capital the following night and worried about her husband.

Therefore, she talked to Luo Jin’an for a while and told him many things. The others were embarrassed to run over when they saw the couple sitting together.

The others wanted to let the young couple talk more, and the elders were delighted to see how harmonious the couple was.

Even when Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai wanted to approach their aunt, Liu Yinyin stopped them. Eventually, Su Wenzhe took over the duty of seasoning everyone’s lamb skewers.

He seemed to have understood something when he looked at his sister and brother-in-law talking sweetly. After a while, he patted his forehead and muttered, “I wonder if Jin’an is a cunning person.”

Liu Yinyin heard her husband mumbling, but she was unsure if she heard correctly. “Did you say someone is cunning?”

Su Wenzhe shook his head and pondered. “N-Nothing. Do you think something is a bit off with Jin’an?”

Liu Yinyin looked at her husband disapprovingly. “Are you still trying to blame Jin’an for the seasoning mishap?”

“N-No! He framed me. I-I said I had trouble cutting the meat.” Su Wenzhe was quick to say cutting instead of cunning to throw Liu Yinyin off.
