Chapter 204: That Li Xuewu Is Not a Good Person

Fan Hua looked at Li Xuewu, raised her eyebrows at the security guard beside her, and signaled the security guard to take the coat at the door to cover Li Xuewu.

This security guard looked at Fan Hua gratefully and went to the door to take the coat off the wall and cover Li Xuewu, who was already snoring.

There were plenty of capable people in the Security Section, and Xu Ning wasn't the only one who knew how to handle things. Fan Hua was just a female comrade, otherwise, she would have to compete with Xu Ning for the position of the Security Section's number one pet.

Li Xuewu didn't sleep until he woke up naturally this time; he was awakened by someone. He opened his eyes dizzily and found that the sun was setting in the west. He looked at the red sky and then at the person who woke him up. It turned out to be Fan Hua.

"Li Kezhang, wake up, Li Kezhang."

"What's wrong?"

"Li Kezhang, your family is here to find you."

Li Xuewu turned his head and saw his eldest sister-in-law standing at the gate post looking at him anxiously. Li Xuewu waved his hand and stood up to walk out. Before he even walked out the door, Fan Hua draped a military overcoat over Li Xuewu from behind.

He turned back and said thank you to Fan Hua, then opened the door of the guard room, turned around, and came to the gate.

"What's wrong, Sister-in-law?"

Li Xuewu saw Zhao Yafang standing at the gate with her bike, mud spots on her trouser legs, and a face full of anxiety.

Zhao Yafang couldn't care about the misunderstanding between her and her second brother-in-law. Seeing her second brother-in-law come out, she said, "Xuewu, your brother has been suspended from class and is said to be facing disciplinary action. What should we do?"

Li Xuewu frowned and comforted his sister-in-law: "Don't worry first, tell me slowly. What does it mean? Why suspended from class?"

Zhao Yafang caught her breath and said, "The Academic Affairs Office talked to him today, saying he introduced students to off-campus organizations for special activities, so he's temporarily suspended and preparing to accept investigation and handling. Your brother ran home in a fit of anger. I asked him to find you, but he wouldn't come. Xuewu, what exactly is going on?"

Li Xuewu's narrowed eyes suddenly released a murderous aura. Seeing his sister-in-law about to cry from anxiety, he said firmly, "Relax, I will handle this matter. Didn't my brother say he was in a hurry to read a book? Let him read the book well at home. Tell him he has to read it faster; maybe he'll have to go to work before he finishes reading it."

Seeing Li Xuewu speak so firmly, Zhao Yafang also found her backbone. Once she was anxious, her tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Why are you two brothers so unreliable? Sob, sob, sob, your eldest brother too. As soon as the Academic Affairs Office said he was suspended, before they even finished speaking, he told them 'see you later' and ran home happily. I couldn't persuade him no matter what. I asked him to find the Vice Principal, but he wouldn't go. Sob, sob, sob, I'm worried to death."

Li Xuewu softened his tone and said, "Rest assured and go home to rest. I will handle everything. My eldest brother has a simple mind, but he's not stupid. He understands the logic in this and knows I have a plan on my side, so he's taking this opportunity to be lazy. Take good care of him and tell him what I said: once this matter is over, the thing I agreed with him last time can be done. It's a good thing. Go, go home, be careful on the road."

Seeing that his second brother-in-law had already made it so clear, Zhao Yafang felt relieved. She sobbed twice, wiped her face to stop the tears, greeted Li Xuewu, and walked home under Li Xuewu's gaze.

Li Xuewu stood at the gate post with a frown, looking into the distance in a daze. At this moment, a greeting came from behind.

"Li Xuewu, I heard you were removed?"

Li Xuewu frowned and turned back to look. It turned out to be Yan Jiecheng standing on the guard platform, talking down to him. It seemed it was his turn to stand guard now.

Yan Jiecheng saw Li Xuewu twisting his head and looking at him with narrowed eyes. Thinking of his wife bringing home two big carp last night, and his old man's words—not like a nose, not like eyes—he couldn't help but feel a bit sour.

"Rebirth: Fighting the Waves of the Great Era"

The Third Master was at home bragging about how many fish he caught today, how hard he worked, and how correct his decision to use the bicycle last night was. Just as the Third Mistress and the Yan Jiecheng brothers were flattering the Third Master, Yu Li walked into the room carrying two big carp weighing more than four catties.

The Yan Jiecheng brothers looked at the two big carp that Yu Li was struggling to carry, and then looked at the few small miscellaneous fish in their old man's bucket. They were embarrassed and fell silent, and the smile on the Third Master's face froze.

The Third Mistress hurriedly stood up and asked Yu Li where the fish came from.

Yu Li raised her eyebrows and said, "I helped Li Xuewu with some manual work today, and Li Xuewu gave them to me. I don't know how Li Xuewu can be so capable to get so many fish. The three of us who did the manual work each got two, and they were all this big."

The Third Master's mood was already bad enough when he came back from Kunming Lake. He wanted to go home and listen to his wife and children's flattery to be happy. Miscellaneous fish are also meat, right? He didn't expect that as soon as he started, before he could enjoy it, he was given a big slap by his daughter-in-law.

Thinking of Li Xuewu's joke at the gate today, and thinking about why Li Xuewu didn't invite other young wives but specifically invited his daughter-in-law to do manual work, and furthermore, who gives two such big fish for helping with manual work, his heart started to turn sour, and his words became unpleasant.

"Yu Li, that Li Xuewu is not a good person. Don't say he's going down because of mistakes now; even before, he wasn't a good thing. Stay away from him, and don't touch his things. That fish has dirty things on it."

The Third Mistress always followed her old man's banner. Thinking that Li Xuewu invited her daughter-in-law but not her, it must be because he looked down on her. Furthermore, he must have some crooked intentions toward her daughter-in-law, so her words became mean.

"I've said it long ago, that Li Xuewu was very flirtatious before, whether it was big girls or young wives. Look, two big girls came to their house today, and I don't know what they were doing, giggling. At first glance, they aren't from a good family. I tell you, the mouths of people in this courtyard are like knives, they can kill people. Stay away from him."

Yu Li was kind enough to bring the fish back for the family to eat together. Ever since the matter of the catty of pork last time, things had been unpleasant at home. She had intended to perform well this time, but she didn't expect her father-in-law and mother-in-law to be so mean, as if she had done something unchaste.

If she had really done that kind of thing, she would have gotten more than just these two fish. But she hadn't done it, so how could she bear this grievance? Seeing her husband sitting on the side without saying a word, knowing the truth but not explaining for her, she felt...

"Dad, Mom, what do you mean by this? I went to help because Li Xuewu took the initiative to come to our house to find me. Jiecheng was there at the time, and he knows it."
