Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Hmm... Liumei-chan is so scary after becoming a JK. Has her belated rebellious period finally arrived?

"Well, then I'll buy some depending on the situation." Hachiman got out of the car in a panic.

There were only Rumi and Yangyan left in the car. Their relationship was already bad, and now even the issue of whether they were related by blood became unclear. Naturally, the atmosphere was not very good.

"Are you starting to train your brother-in-law so soon?" Yang Yan said with a slight smile.

The girl who was playing with her phone out of boredom looked up with a somewhat calm expression: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Yang Yan didn't care, and then took out a paper novel and said, "This is the book I'm reading recently. It's quite interesting. There is a brother and sister in it. Although the brother already has a lover, the sister is a hidden brother-con. However, they are actually related by blood. What should I do? The girl thought, if I stay with my brother all the time, I will only be treated as a sister. So she chose to live in a boarding school since she was a child. She only went to see her brother during holidays or festivals. She used the strangeness caused by distance to dilute the familiarity of blood relationship. It's quite interesting, right?"

Liu Mei was silent and didn't say anything.

Yang Yan said directly: "I don't care what you think, but don't hinder my brother-in-law from helping me get rid of my mother's control."

"Do you want to drive me away from your father?" Liu Mei asked calmly.

"If you behave like a good daughter, I, your aunt and stepmother, won't mind keeping a freeloader. In this way, my brother-in-law will be happier with my generosity." Yang Yan did not hide his ambition at all.

While Rumi was lost in thought, Hachiman had already bought breakfast.

"This is Yangyan's egg sandwich and oolong tea..."

"It just so happens that I found the octopus sausages that Rumi-chan likes to eat at the convenience store, so I bought them. Here, there's also yuzu honey tea."

Hachiman placed the carefully selected breakfast in front of Rumi, not buying the same thing as Kagero as he had said before.

Liu Mei took it: "Whatever."

However, this time, Hachiman felt relieved by his casualness, because he could hear a hint of satisfaction in his tone.

Hmm... He could actually tell Liu Mei's surprise from her subtle tone. He's really a bit of a bootlicker.

But so what?! What's wrong with being a lapdog for your own daughter?

"Then let's go." Hachiman, who had passed the game with high scores, relaxed and prepared to drive to the destination.

But Liu Mei said softly, "Dad, where's your breakfast?"

"Oh, oh, I was just busy choosing breakfast for Rumei-chan. After I found the octopus sausages, I was a little too happy and forgot about my own portion. But it doesn't matter. Dad is a person who can resist hunger. When he didn't want his salary, he ate instant noodles for a month in order to buy good milk powder for Rumei-chan." Hachiman said indifferently.

"That's why you have stomachache now, right, you idiot." Liu Mei said angrily.

Ah, a daughter is still a daughter after all. Even if she has reached a rebellious stage because of blood ties, she still cares about her father.

Then, Rumi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, stuffed the octopus sausages into Hachiman's mouth with a toothpick, and almost half of her own breakfast box went into Hachiman's stomach.

Yang Yan, who was sitting in the back, was feeling a little sulky. Good boy, you got what you wanted this time.

But actually it’s not that bad. This is the advantage of studying in the United States, but also the biggest disadvantage. Just like the brother and sister in the novel, the sister is destined to never snatch her brother away from her lover.

After driving for half a day in peace and tranquility, we finally arrived at the courtyard villa that I remembered as luxurious.

"Rumei, this is where my mother grew up." Hachiman said with a sigh. If he didn't have a bad relationship with Yukino's family, Hachiman would actually like to come here and feel the breath of his deceased wife.

"This is also where I grew up, hehe." Yangyan put his arm around Hachiman's neck and said.

"Wow, Yangyan-chan, don't do this. If someone sees us..." Hachiman struggled to get out of the car, and then froze in place. In front of the mansion, the meticulous woman, in addition to the years that had added a bit of charm to her face, her stern and motionless temperament made Hachiman feel extremely familiar. When Yukino brought him back, this Mrs. Yukinoshita was also standing here waiting for him.

"Ah, Mrs. Yukinoshita..." Hachiman still didn't dare to call her mother-in-law, for fear of encountering a mountain of wrath. After all, in front of her daughter, he still wanted to retain some respect.

But this idea must be quite funny in Liu Mei's heart. When has her father ever been dignified in front of her?

Of course, after saying this, the good-for-nothing dad will be in seclusion for a long time.

Mrs. Yukinoshita stood there calmly, gently shook her iris-colored kimono, and said calmly: "Hikigaya-kun, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so useless?"

Ugh, it hurts...

But why is there a hint of resentment in Madam's tone, huh?

Play within a play: I want to marry my brother-in-law as a second wife

"Do you remember what Yukino said when she took you away from home?" The lady had a stern face and even her tone was cold.

"She said that as long as you, Madam, don't want her to, she will never set foot in this house again." Naturally, Hachiman would not forget it.

"Call her stubbornness or her keeping her promise, she always kept her word and never set foot here again until her death. So, what are you doing here?" asked the lady.

However, Hachiman's hands gently grasped his heart, and even though his legs were shaking unconsciously due to fear, he still forced himself to speak out.

"If it's just about myself, I won't disturb you no matter what. Yukino is my wife, and what she said is naturally my promise. But this time, it's about Yukino's daughter, your granddaughter, studying in the United States. I have to come to you and ask you the truth of what happened back then. If you think it's inappropriate, I can leave immediately." Hachiman said through gritted teeth, but under the powerful aura of his wife, his tone became weird at the end.

"No, brother-in-law, you promised to make peace with me..." At this time, Yang Yan jumped out. If her mother drove Hachiman away without saying a word, she would be in trouble.

"After so many years, you are still as useless as you were back then, Hikigaya Hachiman-kun." The lady said lightly.

Hachiman couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It really didn't work. But it was understandable. In the beginning, it was Mrs. Yukinoshita who didn't agree with him and Yukino being together. After Yukino passed away, it would be even more impossible for this mother to forgive him.

"However, you have the guts to say such shameless words in front of me, which is still some progress."

Eh?

Then, Mrs. Yukinoshita was seen looking in the direction of Rumei.

"Are you...Rumei?" Mrs. Yukinoshita asked.

Liu Mei bowed her head very politely, but was a little hesitant when she spoke.

The beautiful woman only took one look and seemed to understand the girl's considerations, so she spoke calmly.

"Even if it's Yang Yan's future child, I'm not old enough for people to call me grandma..."

"Madam, how are you?" Liu Mei said softly, neither far nor near.

Mrs. Yukinoshita revealed a rare faint smile, which surprised Hachiman. It seems that she really likes studying in the United States?

"This child is well-educated." This is probably the only time she has praised Hachiman in all these years.

"No, no, I have to thank my lady for not taking my daughter away from me." If the Yukinoshita family had insisted on taking the child away, he would not have been able to get custody of his daughter even if he went to court due to his weak power.

"She is Yukino's child, so naturally, she will have to grow up watching Yukino's back." The lady said softly.

"Come in." Then she turned around.

Hachiman glanced at Kagerou in confusion. Judging from Mrs. Yukinoshita's current behavior, although it was a bit ambiguous, was Rumi really his and Yukino's child?

Liu Mei also frowned slightly, looking very nervous.

Hachiman couldn't help but hug Rumi to his side and repeatedly emphasized: "I've said it before, whether we are related by blood or not, the fact that we are family will not change."

But the girl gently waved his hand away and said, "Idiot."

This made Hachiman feel very ridiculous, so he really didn't understand what the girl was thinking.

"Idiot." Yangyan followed and repeated. Hachiman scratched his cheek and turned his head away to ignore her.

When they arrived at the living room, Mrs. Yukinoshita pointed to the table and said to the servant, "Put away the used tea sets and make another pot of tea. For dessert, use the freshly baked Mizu Shingen Mochi."

"Yes, ma'am." The servant responded and retreated.

Why are there used tea sets on the table?

"Ma'am, have there been any other guests visiting today?" Hachiman asked curiously.

Mrs. Yukinoshita just glanced at him and didn't answer. Instead, she slowly sat down, and Hachiman and the other two followed suit.

Yangyan was more casual in her own home and just lay down on the sofa. At this time, the lady finally started to get angry with her youngest daughter.

"Kagero! Do you know how much harm your actions have done to Yukinoshita's interests? The other party is also a big family of the same stature. It would be fine if the blind date failed, but you just disappeared and left them aside. The marriage might end up being an enemy, not to mention that we are the ones who are in the wrong. Fortunately, the other party has a good temper and doesn't bother with you, so the matter has been barely settled."

The scolding, as fierce as a mountain or an angry sea, made Hachiman feel extremely familiar. That's right, a lady who doesn't scold is still a lady. It feels right.

But Yang Yan didn't seem to care, and said: "I told you that I didn't agree with this marriage before we met, it's just that you didn't listen to me."

"Then what do you want? Why do you look down on him? To be honest, I can't believe that such an outstanding young man would fall for a fool like you." The lady did not hide her evaluation of her daughter at all.

"So you sold me out?" Yang Yan asked back.

"Contributing to the family is what every member of the Yukinoshita family should do. If marriage can be considered as being sold, then I was also sold to your Yukinoshita family. Of course, there are exceptions."

The lady glanced at Hachiman.

Well, his wife was the exception, and she even broke up with her family.

"I don't want to. I want to live with the person I love." Yang Yan was very resistant to this kind of thinking of the older generation.

"What do you mean by someone you like? Do you have someone you like?" The lady hit the key point right away.

Oops, Hachiman thought.

Sure enough, Yang Yan suddenly hugged his hand and said, "I like my brother-in-law. I want to marry him as my second wife. This has been my dream since I was a child. You can't stop me."

After hearing this, the lady's hand holding the fan made a creaking sound, and she said to Hachiman calmly: "Hikigaya Hachiman-kun, I don't think our Yukinoshita family has ever offended you."

Ah, this is so embarrassing. How should I answer this?

Moreover, he did feel guilty and a little guilty. His best-educated daughter, Yukino, was kidnapped by him when she was in college. If not, with Yukino's talent, she should have been able to lead the Yukinoshita family to prosperity. But she died, leaving behind an orphan.

Finally, the remaining daughter grew up. Although she was crooked, she could be used as is. Finally, she said she wanted to marry my brother-in-law.

Put yourself in his shoes. If Hachiman were in his wife's position, he would have thrown him into Tokyo Bay to feed the sharks.

What a bullshit talk about reason.

Hachiman was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's put aside what Yang Yan said, but I think her ideas should be respected."

Well, the old rationalist hit the mark, and as always he said the right nonsense.

..................................

"Let's put aside Yang Yan's words, but I think her ideas should be respected."

Hachiman tried to dissuade them, but he was not very good at being a peacemaker.

"What I am discussing with Yangyan now is the future of the Yukinoshita family. Before you said this, have you already been prepared to shoulder the responsibility of the Yukinoshita family?" But Mrs. Yukinoshita's words made Hachiman silent and embarrassed.

It is important for people to know themselves, especially for middle-aged men like him.

The young man is passionate because he doesn't know his own limit, and he doesn't dare to have dreams because he knows that he is just a man of this level.

He had never thought that he would have to shoulder the future of the Yukinoshita family.

Perhaps if Yukino were there, he would be willing to marry into Yukinoshita's family and assist Yukino wholeheartedly, being the man who is not particularly outstanding but still supports his wife behind the scenes.

But now that Yukino has passed away, there is no need to say more.

Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at him for a while, then said, "Hikigaya-kun, come with me to the study. I have something to explain to you."

"What about me? How about my marriage?" Yang Yan said nervously.

"What do you love? Get out of the way." Mrs. Yukinoshita scolded angrily.

"So, my marriage is really cancelled? Great!" Yang Yan seemed to understand what his mother meant and began to raise his hands to celebrate.

"I have already decided on your marriage partner. I will hold your wedding as soon as possible. Just wait." But Mrs. Yukinoshita coldly sentenced her daughter to death.

"I don't want it! I don't want it, .... If you want to get married, go ahead and marry. It's just a second marriage. I agree." But Yang Yan was not an easy person to deal with. His words almost made the lady explode with anger.

But Mrs. Yukinoshita still suppressed her impatience, waved her hand and said: "I have made my decision on this matter, and there is no doubt about it, unless you have the guts to run away from home like your sister Yukino, and let me live out my life alone."

After she said this, Yang Yan seemed to wilted, and the whole village placed their hopes on her brother-in-law.

Ah, the pressure is so great.

Hachiman followed his wife with heavy steps.

The mansion, the castle, the lady, for some reason, Hachiman's spirit seemed to have drifted to a strange place.

Arriving at the lady's study, the beautiful woman slowly sat down on the large chair that seemed extremely heavy, and asked softly, "What is that thing you have been holding in your hand?"

Hachiman has been holding a small round box in his hand and has not put it down since he entered the door.

He placed the round gift box in front of the desk somewhat awkwardly, and then opened it. It was an exquisite fruit cake with the words "Happy Birthday" written on it.

"This is the cake that Yangyan and Rumi made overnight. Yangyan said that today is your birthday, so she came back specially today." Hachiman began to speak softly.

"You too?" Mrs. Yukinoshita asked calmly, looking at the cake.

"I...I think that if I were here, you would be unhappy. If it weren't for Liumei, I would never disturb you." Hachiman emphasized again.

But the lady did not seem pleased by this, and picked up her fork.

"Hey, do you want to eat?" Hachiman said with some surprise.
