Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 149 - 149 149 The Trial of the Eldest Brother-in-Law

?Chapter 149: Chapter 149: The Trial of the Eldest Brother-in-Law Chapter 149: Chapter 149: The Trial of the Eldest Brother-in-Law “Bai Xiao!” a voice made both of them stop, and they both turned their heads towards the source of the sound.

An Zhiyuan looked at Bai Xiao and a young man laughing so happily, and their intimacy was evident; his heart was indeed not only feeling the taste. He knew that after being together with Bai Xiao, he never saw such cheerful ease; this type of smile came from the heart.

Although he understood that Bai Xiao was certainly not a frivolous person, and it seemed that Bai Xiao’s family had a working elder brother, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat wronged. Did Bai Xiao really look down on him that much?

Bai Xiao was startled, seeing it was An Zhiyuan, her heart tightened; she hadn’t yet told her elder brother about this fiancé that had appeared out of nowhere.

Bai Song squinted his eyes, sizing up An Zhiyuan, the two men, in two sets of clothes, assessing each other.

“Xiao, who is this?”

“Hello, I’m An Zhiyuan, Bai Xiao’s fiancé!” An Zhiyuan decided to take the initiative.

He and Bai Xiao’s relationship must be recognized by all the Bai Family members.

Bai Song looked back incredulously at his sister, Fiancé?

He had only been away for just over half a year, and how did his sister suddenly have a fiancé?

This was too strange indeed.

However, considering the suit An Zhiyuan wore, Bai Song wasn’t very resistant; after all, those in this profession gave a sense of more responsibility and security. He himself was in this profession, naturally feeling a natural affinity for such people.

Bai Xiao felt awkward; every time An Zhiyuan explained it this way in front of her relatives.

“Elder Brother, An Zhiyuan is indeed my fiancé, it’s a long story, and I can’t explain it clearly right now. Let me tell you about it tonight.”

Bai Song turned towards An Zhiyuan, stretching out a large hand, “Hello, I am Bai Song, Bai Xiao’s elder brother.”

An Zhiyuan reached out his hand, and their large hands clasped together. Bai Song was a special talent; otherwise, he couldn’t have developed such incredible martial skills. Just now, breaking an iron post bare-handed was due to years of training. This time, he intended to test the mettle of this so-called brother-in-law. He couldn’t let his sister marry a weakling; if he couldn’t withstand his strength, An Zhiyuan didn’t deserve to be his brother-in-law.

So the two men silently competed through their handshake.

An Zhiyuan was also pleased initially; now that he had finally met the three closest people in Bai Xiao’s family and gained Bai Song’s acknowledgment, he and Bai Xiao were on a clear path. He had already submitted his love report, though he didn’t know why it hadn’t been approved yet, but that wouldn’t deter his resolution to be with the girl.

But this handshake made him realize that he wasn’t acknowledged yet; another challenge awaited him.

It was natural for men to have a competitive spirit, especially since he was facing not only his future brother-in-law but also a peer in the same profession. This was a double test, so the two men quietly vied with each other.

Bai Xiao watched as the two men shook hands, not letting go, looking at her brother’s forehead veins bulging. Although An Zhiyuan seemed calm and collected, weren’t the pronounced veins on his neck indicating otherwise?

The two were quite interesting.

“Elder brother, you and Officer An have a chat here; I’ll go ahead and help elder sister.” This was a man’s competition, irrelevant to her as a woman, so she left.

Once Bai Xiao left,
the atmosphere in the yard immediately tensed up.

Bai Song loosened his grip, stretched his shoulders, and said with a smile, “Sure, your strength training is pretty intense. Come on, let’s spar a bit and stretch our muscles.” Encountering someone about as skilled as oneself felt like finding a kindred spirit in drinking—never having enough.

An Zhiyuan nodded, took off his clothes, and draped them over the firewood pile nearby, revealing a green tank top underneath. As soon as he took off his clothes, his well-defined muscles and striking figure were immediately apparent.

“I’m from the special forces, how about you?” Bai Song also stripped off his clothes, as they didn’t want to ruin them while sparring.

“I’m from a certain brigade.” An Zhiyuan didn’t specify which, but Bai Song understood that many brigades were newly established and secretive, and their personal information was highly confidential. Mentioning the brigade already implied that he was involved.

Both men immediately took up positions.

……

……

Bai Xiao and Bai Yue were tidying up the house, as Bai Song would need a place to stay when he came back. The house was only so big, they had to make room for Bai Song and Li Haiping, Li Hai’an, and Li Haishun to squeeze in together.

Bai Yue aired the bedding in the yard to let the sun soften them, so her brother would feel comfortable and soft when he lay in bed at night.

Hearing clanging noises from the backyard, Bai Yue curiously said, “Xiao, what are your brother and Instructor An doing? I saw Instructor An heading to the backyard to look for you just now.”

Bai Xiao chuckled, “I have no idea what they are up to.”

And she wouldn’t say even if she knew.

From the smile at the corner of Bai Xiao’s mouth, Bai Yue knew this tricky girl wasn’t telling the truth.

“You sneaky girl, I think Instructor An is really nice. I just came home for a few days, and Instructor An has come over five times already. Although he lives nearby, he’s still very busy with daily training and work. Yet, he finds time to check if our family needs help.

Look at the table, he’s left another big bag of stuff. I’ve already told him not to bring things every time. We’re all family here, why be so formal?”

Bai Xiao walked over and opened the package on the table. Inside, there were not food items, but three sets of clothes and four pairs of rubber shoes. An Zhiyuan had indeed been thoughtful.

If she guessed right, these must be for her three brothers, knowing that for young people nowadays, probably the biggest pride is having clothes to wear. Those who could would always save up to send clothes back home so siblings could strut around the village feeling proud and stylish.

The clothes were brand new, probably saved up by An Zhiyuan for his three big nephews.

An Zhiyuan was good to his family, which definitely made her feel sweet! An Zhiyuan really knew how to handle things. After all, her eldest sister truly regards An Zhiyuan as a good brother-in-law.

Right now, even if she said she wouldn’t marry, her sister would probably think she was just being capricious. In her sister’s eyes, An Zhiyuan was the best brother-in-law one could have.

“The clothes and rubber shoes are probably for the three brothers.”

“How could that be? Let Little An take them back and wear them himself. They go through clothes and shoes quickly with their training. What do those three kids need with such clothes?” Bai Yue disagreed.

Bai Xiao laughed, “Then you should talk to me about this, since I’m not the one who brought them. Go talk to Instructor An.”

She went to the kitchen to prepare a meal, bustling back and forth. It was almost noon, and of course, she wanted to cook something nice for her big brother’s return.
