The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 414 - Chapter 414 Chapter 414 Embarrassment

Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Embarrassment Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Embarrassment Wan Da’an could still manage his words to some extent when he wasn’t drinking. He wouldn’t speak so offensively, but now that he had drunk, Wan Da’an spoke solely under the influence of alcohol.

He didn’t show any restraint whatsoever.

“Look at your Gu Family? Over the years, when have you ever been able to compare to our Wan Family? In past years, had it not been for our Wan Family’s aid, would your Gu Family even have had food to eat?”

Wan Da’an’s words made it sound as if the Gu Family lived off the support of the Wan Family, yet in reality, the Wan Family had only lent money to the Gu Family twice after Gu Ya and Gu Chengxiang fell down the mountain.

From just those two times, Wan Da’an felt the Gu Family should be eternally grateful to them. Speaking of eldest sister-in-law Mrs. Zhang and Gu Baofu, those several difficult characters were not easy to provoke, and they never spared anyone with their words. Yet today, despite Wan Da’an’s hurtful speech, Mrs. Zhang and those several difficult characters did not retort a single word.

The Wan Family was indeed wealthier than the Gu Family. Over the years, Mrs. Zhang and Gu Baofu, those difficult characters, had been ingratiating themselves with the Wan Family, hoping to scoop up some benefits for themselves.

Although those present including Mrs. Zhang and Gu Baofu were already uncomfortable with Wan Da’an’s words, they all endured it. Particularly, Mrs. Han’s husband, Gu Tiezhu, who was the fourth brother, even forced a smile in gratitude to Wan Da’an.

“Brother-in-law, isn’t that right? If we hadn’t relied on you and our brother-in-law back then, our Gu Family might not have had food to put on the table! Now, we should indeed be thankful to you and our brother-in-law’s Wan Family.”

Gu Tiezhu’s words exactly catered to Wan Da’an’s ego.

The silver borrowed by the Gu Family had long been repaid in front of Wan Da’an. Nonetheless, Wan Da’an still acted as if he had made a magnanimous donation, “Fourth brother, don’t say that! Who am I if not your brother-in-law? Your eldest sister marrying me, Wan Da’an, is your fortune. The little bit of money I lent you, I, Wan Da’an, wouldn’t take to heart.”

“Brother-in-law, the bit of silver we borrowed from you, haven’t we repaid it in front of you?” Not only was it repaid, but also with several copper coins of interest.

Gu Jianghai, who had been quiet until now, couldn’t hold back any longer.

Did that Wan Da’an truly think their Gu Family lived off of theirs?

“Repaid, repaid!”

Gu Hengniang quickly nodded and tried to pull on Wan Da’an’s sleeve, “That’s enough, drink a little less.”

Wan Da’an shoved Gu Hengniang away.

“Mind your own business, woman. When men are drinking, why do you meddle so much?” Wan Da’an spoke through the hiccups of intoxication, reeking of alcohol.

Gu Hengniang was visibly embarrassed!

She glanced at her own family, fearing that Wan Da’an, in his nonsense, would go even further. If Wan Da’an were to lay a hand on her, it wouldn’t look good for everyone.

Gu Hengniang withdrew her hand sheepishly.

She didn’t dare to bother Wan Da’an anymore.

Wan Da’an downed another cup all at once. Everyone at the table knew that Wan Da’an was drunk, so no one engaged him further, letting him boast alone there.

A table full of difficult characters, the mother-in-law, Mrs. An, was inside delivering a meal to father-in-law. Now, apart from Mrs. Chu and the fifth brother Gu Jianghai, everyone here was a difficult character.

Eating with these difficult characters, Su Yunjin simply lost her appetite. She haphazardly ate half a bowl of rice. Su Yunjin put down her chopsticks and left. If she continued to eat, Su Yunjin feared that she might vomit the half bowl of rice she had just consumed.

After Su Yunjin left, Wan Da’an was still there, incessantly boasting about the Wan Family’s wealth. He spoke recklessly, even bringing up his sister Wan Ruyan, without considering whether it was appropriate to say such a thing.

“Third brother, why didn’t my sister marry you back then? It’s bad enough that the Gu Family is so poor, but to top it off, your leg is even crippled! How could my sister possibly marry a man with a useless leg, right?”

As soon as Wan Da’an finished his sentence, everyone’s expression at the table changed abruptly, particularly Wan Ruyan who was sitting at another table. She was overcome with embarrassment.

So embarrassed that her little face turned red all the way to her ears.
