Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

The wedding banquet begins.

A mixture of chicken, pork, vegetables, and dried mushrooms, with dates and malt sugar, noodles, mutton soup, and steamed buns—it tasted just average. Wangshu finished a bowl of the bland mutton soup. Qin Xiuyuan ignored her refusal look and poured her another half bowl, "Drink it to warm you up."

Wangshu: ...I’m getting angry!

Li Xin supported his blind mother, who had few teeth and a grin on her face, step by step and came over to toast. Wangshu drank in silence, feeling strange. The old lady was clearly half blind when they met last time. Even with tears in her eyes, she could still touch her son's shoulders and face. But now, she even needed help to walk in her own home. It was as if she had become completely blind.

Gee!

The new daughter-in-law is so unlucky. Her husband is a soldier, living on the edge of a knife. Her mother-in-law is blind with few teeth, and she is pregnant. She has to take care of both the household and the outside.

Just now, when the bride turned around, her belly was clearly visible, and she unconsciously tried to protect her belly. Many sharp-eyed women had already noticed the clues.

"Aunt's eyesight is so bad?" After toasting, Wangshu secretly asked Li Fugui, who had a good personal relationship with Li Xin.

Li Fugui sighed and nodded, leaning closer and saying, "Before, I could see in the daytime, during the time I was preparing for the wedding. Ahem... I got a little angry, and my eyesight has completely deteriorated. Now I even need help walking."

Li Fugui glanced at his stomach meaningfully, and Wangshu was speechless.

The daughter-in-law got pregnant before marriage, and the mother-in-law was so angry that she went completely blind?

Put all the blame on the woman?

Honestly, if she were that girl, she would definitely not marry him. Li Xin was not polite before marriage, and his family was in dire straits. On the wedding day, his mother looked like a widowed blind woman. Whoever married into the family would be unlucky.

"Shouldn't she be happy that her daughter-in-law is pregnant? The family is so poor, why should she care about face? She's so blind!"

Li Fugui: ...You're shrinking your neck. It's not my fault...Miss Ji has a bad temper.

On the return carriage, Wangshu was still furious. With her son about to go off to war and her daughter-in-law pregnant, most mothers-in-law would be relieved! If anything were to happen, she'd have to beg her daughter-in-law to give birth to the child. Besides, it took two to tango; Li Xin was most at fault.

He was so angry that he was thinking all over again, his face turned left and right, and his waist was twisted and thin.

Qin Xiuyuan held the man down and said something shocking, "She's not completely blind."

"She has no problem picking up food while eating, she picks it up accurately." Li Xin usually picks up the meat from the old man's bowl accurately, which means she can see clearly.

After listening to his detailed explanation, the astonished Wangshu had to admire Qin Xiuyuan's keen observation. How could a short girl like her see the main table beyond the crowd of people?

He shook her hand and said with a mocking look on his face, "Then she's just pretending! You can see her eating, but you can't see her working. Tsk tsk! She's just planning to wait for others to serve her!"

Qin Xiuyuan was certain that Li's mother was faking it, but he wasn't sure why. Wangshu's words suddenly made sense to him.

The reason why Qin Xiuyuan became suspicious was that the memory of that time on the street was too deep, the touching motherly love, and the reunion of mother and son.

"Does Li Xin know that his mother is pretending to be blind?"

After all, even Qin Xiuyuan, who was not very careful, could see it.

"He has an idea. Watch him pick up the meat, no matter how many bones there are. He picks it up randomly." After becoming suspicious and observing carefully, Qin Xiuyuan explained it to her, answering her doubts one by one.

Wangshu was amazed. He approached Qin Xiuyuan and said, "Li Xin is opportunistic and selfish. You should avoid dealing with him in the future."

There's a touch of selfishness here, but there's no way to describe it as opportunistic. "Li Xin was extremely filial to his mother and brave in battle."

"Tsk!" Wangshu sneered. "Before the wedding even took place, he'd already taken someone's virginity and made them pregnant. He'd done it quite a few times. This is both opportunistic and self-serving. His own son behaved badly, and his mother followed suit, giving the bride a hard time. She smiled at her son but frowned at the bride, acting like she was completely blinded by rage. Just wait for her legs to cross and order her daughter-in-law around!"

"The bride, with her belly clearly visible, hurried into the house, earning nothing but gossip and a bad face. As a son, Li Xin coordinated this series of intimidation, exploiting the bride's guilt and demanding respect for her mother-in-law and serving her blind mother. He lacks manly responsibility, is selfish, and even more cunning. He doubles down on the cruelty of the world towards women by placing it on the unmarried pregnant bride, forcing her to accept the fate and remain devoted, with no room for reason."

Wangshu pointed at the man's chest and said, "He is very filial to his mother? Does he boil water for washing feet or do all the chores? Don't ask his mother to take care of his eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. He is just a sweet-talking son! Look at the gaps between his mother's nails and Li Xin's nails!" This is too fake!

My mother's fingernails are black, but Li Xin is definitely neater and more efficient. The Li family has a vegetable garden and firewood burning, and if you do this kind of work too much, the gaps between your fingernails will become black.

"...What about bravery in combat?" Qin Xiuyuan shut up right after asking, knowing that she hated words like bravery in combat the most.

As expected, Wangshu shook off his arm that had been swinging around, stopped poking him with his fingers, and gave Qin Xiuyuan a pair of pure, fool-looking eyes.

She has a slightly thin, white, round face with delicate and virtuous features, but her black eyes are full of energy and she likes to roll her eyes and glare at people.

Qin Xiuyuan: ...

"Just have less contact with him in the future."

With a sincere attitude, he pulled her hand and shook it.

This is decent.

Wangshu didn't shake it off, "Who told you that he was extremely filial to his mother?"

Li Fugui said this. Qin Xiuyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

"Wealth and honor are sincere and honest, this should be..."

Wangshu snorted twice, proudly holding his head high and chest out, "I also want to spread a reputation for being gentle and kind."

Qin Xiuyuan: ...It's a bit difficult, um...

So the next day Li Xin came to inquire about Qin Xiuyuan's current plans. Qin Xiuyuan just said a few words about sending his father's remains back to his hometown and skipped the topic. He didn't talk to him as much about the military camp as before.

"Xiuyuan, you are a martial artist and have a talent for warfare. Many of our brothers are waiting for you to return. Now is the time when we need you to step forward. It's such a shame for you to be like this!"

Qin Xiuyuan shook his head. He was wearing a round-necked white robe and an embroidered bamboo belt that showed off his slim waist. After a few months of rest from his job and staying indoors for a long time, his cold white skin became more even, and his skin was as good as that of a girl in the boudoir. He was holding his fat second son, who was still sleeping soundly without being disturbed, in his arms, with a natural expression.

"It's just a coincidence! I used to be so confused by the situation, and even after losing my job, I still missed the military camp. Gradually, I came to terms with it. Xiuyuan is an only child, his father's remains are still unburied, and his fiancée is a businesswoman. Well, she usually earns more than I do. With more people in the family, opening a martial arts school and doing business will make it much easier and more stable."

Li Xin felt a little disappointed when he saw his self-satisfied look. He looked around to see if there was anyone around, so he lowered his voice and said,

"Brother Qin, as brothers, we have a life-long friendship. A husband and wife are husband and wife, and a man should be a man. The husband is above, the wife is below. Now your house has become the home of your father-in-law's family. Ji Wenshu has gone to teach at a private school, and your mother-in-law and fiancée are also doing business, and you are the only one here taking care of the baby! Isn't this putting the cart before the horse! You will never be able to hold your head up in front of them in the future. I even suspect that they have drugged you! You must know that the Ji family has no children, so your Yue family is yours! Now the situation has been reversed!"
