Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 408

Yi Wending wanted to insist, but Xu Xiaomei disagreed, so he had to adopt this plan.

Xu Xiaomei said, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise. You should go now."

After seeing Yi Wending off, Xu Xiaomei returned and said to He Yuzhu, "I really don't want to see their family."

He Yuzhu comforted her, "There's nothing we can do about it. We still have to go through the necessary procedures. It's just a meal we had tonight."

Xu Xiaomei asked, "Will you come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival too?"

"Of course."

Although they don't usually live in the courtyard house, how could they not come back during holidays and festivals!

Otherwise, people will say you're unfilial.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival draws closer, the festive atmosphere is gradually building.

He Yuzhu was also very busy. In addition to maintaining good relations with the leaders of the street, he also had to make some appearances on behalf of the machinery factory.

He also has to deal with several women, but it doesn't matter on ordinary days; he can spend time with them separately.

But during holidays, it feels like there's no time to spare. Fortunately, everyone is quite sensible and hasn't caused any major emotional outbursts.

Before we knew it, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. At this time, people don't get a holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival and have to go to get off work as usual.

However, Xu Xiaomei was given a day off today, and in the morning, she went to Yi Wending's dormitory at the machine repair factory.

He chatted with the neighbors and let his coworkers know that Yi Wending had a wife.

After getting off work, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard house. Every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the air was filled with the aroma of real meat.

He Yuzhu sighed with some emotion, "The time we can eat meat is running out!"

Xu Huizhen came out of the kitchen and saw He Yuzhu standing there. She quickly called out, "What are you saying, Zhuzi? Come and help us. We're just waiting for you, the head chef."

"coming."

He Yuzhu agreed, and before he even reached the kitchen, he saw Yi Wending come out of the east wing.

Yi Wending asked, "He Yuzhu, where is my wife?"

He Yuzhu retorted angrily, "You're asking me where your wife ran off to?"

Before Yi Wending could say anything more, Yi Zhonghai stopped him, saying, "Don't be so impulsive on such a holiday. Go to the backyard and see if it's at your father-in-law's house."

He Yuzhu entered his kitchen, where a large amount of fish and meat were prepared, along with a variety of side dishes. He Daqing was busy in front of the stove.

He Yuzhu first asked his wife, "Did you give her the holiday gift?"

"Of course it's been approved. Get to work, we're waiting for you."

He Yuzhu sighed. Who could blame him for being such a good cook? He Yushui and her younger siblings had long been picky eaters and always complained that He Daqing's cooking was not good.

Whenever there's an opportunity, I'll have He Yuzhu cook.

In the blink of an eye, a table of food and wine was served. In the east wing, Xu Xiaomei always felt uncomfortable sitting next to Yi Wending.

The Yi family was very hospitable today, preparing a table full of dishes and even wine, enthusiastically urging Xu Xiaomei to drink.

Xu Xiaomei was self-controlled and usually had a good alcohol tolerance, so she only poured herself one glass, thinking she probably wouldn't get drunk.

This is inside a courtyard house, so even if I get drunk, it won't be a problem. The Yi family shouldn't do anything to me, especially since I have a pair of scissors with me, which will ensure I'm safe.

Yi Wending didn't say much, but Yi Zhonghai and Widow Bai were quite lively, chatting and urging them to drink.

Xu Xiaomei also gave face to her parents-in-law, drinking the wine in her hand little by little.

The white widow was still very hospitable, pouring him another glass of wine and urging him to drink more.

As Xu Xiaomei drank, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problem after drinking a whole bottle of wine, but why did she gradually feel like she was getting drunk today?

After having this idea, she dared not drink anymore. Pretending to be drunk, she started talking nonsense. After getting hot, she simply lay down on the table, wanting to see what exactly happened today.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Second brother, why don't you help your sister-in-law inside?"

Xu Xiaomei was extremely surprised to find that the person sitting next to her was her nominal husband, Yi Wending.

Instead of having Yi Wending help her, her father-in-law, Yi Zhonghai, had his brother-in-law help her inside.

Even if Yi Wending isn't here, there's still her mother-in-law; it's not her brother-in-law's place to help her up.

Yi Wensheng was not surprised. After agreeing, he walked over and, in front of his older brother and parents, picked up his sister-in-law horizontally.

Then, holding his sister-in-law in his arms, he turned and walked towards the bedroom inside.

Chapter 296 The New Eunuch

Yi Wending asked with some concern, "Will this work?"

The white widow hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai said, "It should be fine. Anyway, you can't have children. This Xu Xiaomei has been living in the factory every day since she married into the family. There's no use having a daughter-in-law like that."

"But..."

"There are no buts. Today, take this opportunity to get your little sister drunk, then have a child with your brother. After she gives birth to your son after ten months of pregnancy, he will call you 'Dad,' thus continuing the family line."

Yi Wending opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

He was utterly astonished when his mother told him about it.

I don't know what he was thinking, but he actually came up with this amazing idea.

First, find an excuse to get Xu Xiaomei drunk, then let the second brother sleep with the aunt, one of them being able to teach Xu Xiaomei a lesson for her arrogant attitude.

Make him settle down and become a true daughter-in-law of the Yi family. If he disobeys, beat and scold him, and make him have several children with the second son.

It was also Yi Wending's lineage that was being supported, so that his descendants wouldn't die out.

Yi Wending initially disagreed, feeling that the idea was utterly absurd.

But after calming down, Yi Wending had to face reality.

Having lost his fertility, he didn't stay overnight with Xu Xiaomei, even though she was his wife. They had only been married on their wedding day, and she went straight back to her parents' home.

It's like he has a wife, but it's the same as not having one at all.

Xu Xiaomei never treated him as her man, and never paid any attention to him.

If, after this ordeal, Yi Wensheng manages to seduce Xu Xiaomei, perhaps he will come to terms with reality and settle down at home to have children.

If you can't have children yourself, it's not unacceptable to ask your younger brother for help.

But when it came time to actually implement the plan, Yi Wending hesitated.

Things had come to this point, and he could only watch as his younger brother carried his wife inside.

The white widow patted his hand and said, "Don't worry, nothing unexpected will happen. After this, my sister can only swallow her pride and accept it. If he dares to disagree, we'll all say that she seduced her brother-in-law. For the sake of our reputation, he won't do anything reckless."

So, as planned, Yi Wensheng and his sister-in-law were having sex in the bedroom, while her husband and in-laws were to stay outside to deal with any unexpected situations.

When Xu Xiaomei was placed on the bed inside the room, she was still dazed, but she quickly came to her senses.

Yi Wending always walks with a hunched back and can't straighten his posture. Is this because he wants Yi Wensheng to take his brother's place and consummate the marriage with him?

Only this explanation makes sense. Regardless, Yi Wending has hardly objected to his proposals in the past few days and has been very compliant.

I just want to fool myself and carry out this plan on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.

Xu Xiaomei faced inwards, took out the scissors from her bosom, and placed them inside the blanket.

Yi Wensheng chuckled and reached out to unbutton Xu Xiaomei's coat. She endured it, letting her coat be completely removed.

Yi Wensheng covered Xu Xiaomei's shapely figure with a blanket, then stripped himself naked, lifted a corner of his body, and lay down behind Xu Xiaomei.

Then he pulled his sister-in-law into his arms and climbed on top of her.

Xu Xiaomei was already prepared, holding a pair of scissors in one hand, her hand open.

With his other hand groping around haphazardly, he was led by Yi Wensheng and quickly found a handle against him.

At this moment, Xu Xiaomei stopped pretending and, with a swift movement, brought down her knife with a sharp crack.

Yi Wensheng screamed loudly, the sound echoing through the sky.

The joyous atmosphere of everyone drinking and chatting during the Mid-Autumn Festival was ruined by this scream.

"What happened?"

Who's calling that?

"Oh no, it's the voice of the second son of the Yi family."

He Yuzhu was enjoying his drink when he suddenly remembered that Xu Xiaomei had gone to the Yi family for a reunion dinner and had taken a pair of scissors with her before she went.

He himself said at the time that he was being too cautious, that nothing could possibly happen since they were all in the same courtyard.

But when they heard the second son of the Yi family's heart-wrenching scream, they knew that something serious must have happened.

He Yuzhu put down the poisoned wine and ran outside, saying, "I'm going to see what's going on."

Now, no one in the family stayed at home; the elderly and children all ran outside.

When He Yuzhu rushed out, Jia Dongxu also ran out, followed by the Jia family. Qin Huairu turned her face away when she saw He Yuzhu.

People ran out from both the front passageway and the back moon gate.
