The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1096 - Chapter 1096 1096

Chapter 1096: 1096 Chapter 1096: 1096 Chen Xian turned to his two sons and pointed at Xiao Yuchuan, “Quickly call him Uncle!”

The older child was about five years old, the younger one four.

Though their appearances were ordinary, their clothes were better than most children’s.

It seemed that Chen Xian and his wife loved their children deeply.

“He’s a bad man!” the older child pointed at Xiao Yuchuan.

“I won’t call him that!”

“Bad man!” the younger one echoed his brother’s words and hid behind Chen Xian.

Chen Xian’s face flushed with embarrassment, “Be good, call him Third Uncle!”

“Won’t call, won’t call!” The two children wore looks of defiance.

Xiao Yuchuan coldly curled the corner of his lip, “Don’t randomly acknowledge kin halfway through; I don’t have any nephews.”

Chen Xian’s face turned sour, and he pulled a red envelope wrapped in red paper from his sleeve pocket, “Third brother, kids don’t understand, don’t hold it against them.

You got married a few days ago, and Daxian was sick, so he couldn’t come to congratulate you.

Here is the congratulatory gift money to make up for it…”

“I don’t have such a relative, and there’s no need for any congratulatory gift.

Get lost.” Xiao Yuchuan spat out the words, took Su Qingyue’s hand, and returned to the courtyard, bolting the courtyard door shut behind them.

Chen Xian stood awkwardly in place while Xiao Ailiu pocketed the red envelope, “I told you not to give it.

To such a white-eyed wolf, giving is in vain.

It’s better to keep it to buy food for our Daxian and Xiaoxian.”

Both courtyard doors were closed.

Chen Xian’s family of four, carrying their bundles, were locked out, and the villagers all wore looks of disdain.

They shook their heads and walked away.

Xiao Ailiu didn’t seem to think much of it, while Chen Xian, pretending to be considerate, said, “Let’s just go…” It’s a two-man act, with one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.

“We’re not leaving,” Ailiu huffed.

“We’ll wait here.

I don’t believe the second brother won’t come back.

As soon as that cheap wench Li Rong’er opens the door, we’ll rush in and empty the house.

The second brother won’t blame me anyway.

What can that stinky old woman do to stop us?”

Li Rong’er, inside the courtyard door, listened to Xiao Ailiu’s words through the door and was frightened.

In case they really rushed in to move things, she certainly wouldn’t be able to stop them.

The family of four waited outside, and by noon, their bellies were growling with hunger.

Xiao Yishan was nowhere to be seen.

“Waiting like this isn’t working…” Xiao Ailiu glanced at the weather.

“If the second brother went hunting in the mountains, at best he’d leave early and come back late; at worst, he might not return for a few days.

Let’s borrow a ladder, prop it against the courtyard wall, and climb in.”

“Isn’t that bad?” Chen Xian hesitated.

“What’s so bad about it?” Ailiu dismissed the concern.

“Don’t you know my second brother?

He’s very soft-hearted.

It’s not just moving some things; even if I found the Property Deed and sold his house, at most he’d be angry for a while.

It’s no big deal.”

Chen Xian had long ago found out about the recent matters of the Xiao Family.

Chuan had a hard heart and could not be swayed.

With Chuan in the Xiao Family, there was no point in coming, as they wouldn’t get any advantage.

However, he recently heard that Xiao Yuchuan had married Su Qingyue and had divided the family assets with the Xiao Family’s second son and the fourth son.

Ailiu said that after the divide, it would be easy to take advantage of the second and fourth sons.

If they managed to find the Property Deed and sold the fields, that was more money than the Chen Family could earn in a lifetime.

So, they came.

Thinking that bringing along the two children would soften the hearts of the Xiao Family’s three sons, who were their uncles, Chen Xian assumed they wouldn’t show a bad face to the children.

When Xiao Yuchuan saw the two children just now, he didn’t show any affection; Chen Xian even took out a red envelope, yet he didn’t see him reciprocate the gesture to the children.

Li Rong’er inside heard this, and her face turned pale.

Ailiu didn’t know that Li Rong’er was eavesdropping from the inside, near the door, and said, “I’m going to borrow a ladder.

You wait here and look after the children.”
