Chapter 447 The Fourth Brother's Highlight
Chen Lao Er recalled what his aunt had said: when his father married his first wife, his grandmother and his aunt worked together to beat him with a feather duster, leaving his entire back covered in bloodstains.

When the groom married his stepmother, the feather duster was replaced with a bamboo stick. It is said that the eldest aunt specially prepared it, but she was pregnant at the time and did not do it. It was the grandmother who did all the beating.

When I get back, who will make the move?
My eldest sister, my biological mother, or all three mothers at once? Just as I was pondering this, a sharp pain suddenly shot through my abdomen, followed by another punch that nearly made me vomit up my breakfast.

"You bastard, you beast!"

Ye Ling came to her senses and realized that something was wrong. Forget about dating, she had lost her virginity without any psychological preparation. She had really lost out.

Chen Lao Er was still depressed.

I got punched for no reason. That woman was really ruthless. My future days might not be so wonderful. I might get beaten up again at any time.

Or, they might experience blissful suffering.

Starting today, the two of them will live together. They haven't finished their work yet, and they can't go back for the time being. They can still put it off and escape.

In the blink of an eye, it's October again!

With the holidays approaching, and taking advantage of Lu You's free time, Chen Yanyin decided to go to Guilin to meet Lu You's family, even though they had already met twice.

"Your brother is fast!"

After hanging up her son's call, Lu's mother looked suspicious: "He was single during the summer vacation, and now he's bringing a girlfriend home. Is he serious?"

Lu Yan peeled a tangerine: "Aren't all young people like this nowadays? Xiao You isn't young anymore. If he gets married sooner, you can have peace of mind."

"makes sense!"

Lu's mother sat down and ate a piece of tangerine: "That little girl from last time, her name is Chen Yanyin, right? She's such a good girl, it's a pity her family is too rich."

"Don't overthink it."

Lu Yan quickly finished the orange: "That girl is perfect in every way. Her looks, knowledge, and manners are all impeccable. She also has a sweet tongue. Anyone who sees her would like her."

"But that kind of family background, tsk tsk..."

"Not to mention our family, looking across the whole country, there are probably not many families that are a good match. Even if the family background is similar, their education and upbringing are not a good match."

"Like the son of the richest man, a playboy. If he were in front of a girl, she probably wouldn't even give him a second glance."

"That's true," Lu's mother sighed.

Marriage is a serious matter. In marriage, families should be of equal social standing and the individuals should be of equal character. Children from truly wealthy families probably wouldn't even look at a playboy from the richest family.

Unless it's a marriage arranged for money or career.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Xiao You is the same. He doesn't even tell us he has a girlfriend beforehand. He could at least send us a picture to see. We weren't prepared at all."

Lu Yan joked, "What do we need to be mentally prepared for? As long as the girl is a good person, we shouldn't interfere when Xiao You gets married."

"Who's interfering!"

Glaring at her daughter, Lu's mother asked again, "When are your older brother and sister-in-law coming over?"

Lu Yan trembled and glanced cautiously at her mother: "I just called my older brother, and he said he has to work overtime today and might not be able to come."

Lu's mother slammed the tangerines in her hand onto the table: "Overtime? When can't you work overtime? His younger brother brought his new wife home for the first time. As the older brother, he should at least come and support them. Call him again."

Lu Yan smiled wryly: "Don't you understand?"

"No one can get through this. There are holidays, no overtime. My sister-in-law did it on purpose, trying to give the new daughter-in-law a hard time."

Lu's mother gritted her teeth: "How could you do this?"

Lu Yan could only smile wryly, while her mother clenched her fists: "How could she do this? She just took my bracelet, and now she's ruining Xiao You's plans."

"She took the bracelet?" Lu Yan was stunned.

He then exclaimed, "That was bought for you by Xiao You, it cost over 20,000 yuan! Later I heard him say that Chen Yanyin bought it through connections, and the original price was 60,000 yuan."

“I… sigh…” Lu’s mother sighed.

After a long pause, he said dejectedly, "When she saw the bracelet, she pestered me for days, saying that your older brother was useless and had never bought her any decent jewelry. I softened and..."

Lu Yan said irritably, "What can I say about you? The bracelet was bought by Xiao You. If it's to be given to someone in the future, it should be given to Xiao You's wife. How can it be given to her?"

"I..." Lu's mother stammered.

She never favored any of her two sons. It was just that her eldest son's wife, well, how should I put it, was too demanding. If she didn't get something from her, she would start complaining about her eldest son.

“You shouldn’t do this again.” Lu Yan smiled bitterly, and after a while said, “When Xiao You gets married, your brother and Xiao You will be two families. With your sister-in-law’s character, if you don’t know what’s good for you, you could break up Xiao You’s family.”

Mother Lu was slightly taken aback, then said seriously, "If she doesn't come this time, I'll assume that the two brothers have already separated and are living their own lives, and neither of them should bother the other."

"If only we could do that."

Lu Yan shook her head and sighed helplessly, "Just wait and see. If my sister-in-law deliberately doesn't come, the relationship between the sisters-in-law will suffer in the future."

Lu's mother nodded slightly, took out her phone to check the time: "Prepare the dishes first, and start stewing the rice and soup. We can start cooking as soon as Xiaoyou gets home."

The mother and daughter were busy.

A short while later, Lu's father and Lu Yan's husband, Li Yuedong, returned with seafood. They put the seafood in the kitchen and then started making tea and smoking.

Mrs. Lu frowned and scolded, "Go outside to smoke. You're making the room smell like smoke. What if the young lady can't stand it when she comes in?"

The father-in-law and son-in-law exchanged a glance and then decisively left.

After waiting for about an hour, a car stopped at the door. Lu's mother and Lu Yan came out to greet them, and they were both stunned when they saw the person getting out of the car.

Chen Yanyin? That rich heiress!

"Auntie, Sister, it's been a long time." Chen Yanyin greeted them warmly.

Lu's mother and Lu Yan both grinned, praising the two for their good fortune. They then showered Chen Yanyin with concern and led her inside, ignoring Lu You.

Upon entering the house, Mr. Lu was also taken aback.

"My son is so clever, he managed to snag a rich girl?" Only Li Yuedong was clueless, only marveling at his brother-in-law's good taste; the girl was truly beautiful.

Soon Li Yuedong witnessed Chen Yanyin's skill in coaxing people. Whether it was his father-in-law, mother-in-law, or his own wife, they were all coaxed into smiling faces.

Seeing this, he looked at his brother-in-law with sympathy.

The silly boy was still grinning foolishly. It's a good thing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a good relationship. With Chen Yanyin's abilities, if the couple has any conflicts in the future, the whole family will side with her.

As for his brother-in-law, he only gets beaten up.

After chatting for a while, Lu's mother and Lu Yan went to the kitchen to help. Chen Yanyin, unusually, wanted to go up and help, but was unanimously refused.

It is said that the first visit to a new bride's home is to see her abilities, but the two of them were reluctant to let Chen Yanyin do any work, saying that she needed to rest after traveling such a long distance.

Chen Yanyin then stopped, glancing at her boyfriend: "Where are your brother and your sister-in-law?"

Lu You was taken aback and looked at his father with a puzzled expression.

Mr. Lu's lips twitched slightly, and he opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing this, Chen Yanyin understood and immediately changed the subject: "Lu You, bring me the gift I brought, I almost forgot about it."

Lu You opened the box containing the gifts.

On my first visit, I didn't bring any expensive gifts. I brought ginseng and cordyceps for Mr. and Mrs. Lu, and also a gift for Li Yuedong and Lu Yan.

There are also two complete sets of Luoshen skincare gift boxes, one for Lu's mother and one for Lu Yan.

There was another gift in the box, originally intended for Lu You's brother and sister-in-law, but they were too lazy to even meet, so there was no need to waste it; I'll take it back later.

After the gifts were distributed, the awkward topic was changed and quickly moved to the dining table. Chen Yanyin remained true to herself, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

It's as if they've all forgotten Lu You's elder brother and sister-in-law.

During this time, they inevitably inquired about each other's situations. Chen Yanyin did not hide anything and said that she had three mothers and five siblings.

When asked about her future plans, Chen Yanyin said, "Uncle, Aunt, you will all come to Beijing and live with us in the future."

“When we have children in the future, you will have to help take care of them, otherwise the two of us young people will not be able to manage.”

Hearing her say that, Mr. and Mrs. Lu were even happier, secretly marveling at the vast differences between people, realizing that their eldest daughter-in-law didn't say that at all.

Even before getting married, he said he wouldn't live with his parents, which was incredibly arrogant. But his eldest son was useless; if his wife told him to go east, he wouldn't dare go west.

Looking at the girl in front of me, she comes from a wealthy family, yet she has no arrogance whatsoever. She immediately asks to live with the old man, something you couldn't find even with a lantern.

But Lu's mother just shook her head: "When you have children, we will definitely come to take care of them. We can't stay there for a long time. We won't be used to living in the city."
