Chapter 441: As Cunning as a Fox

After dinner, Jiang Hong looked at Wang Fuguo and Jiang Huijing, who were sitting at the table like grandmasters, and with a stern face, he said, “You two ate the most this meal, and now you want to act like you’re in charge again, huh?”

Seeing that the couple hadn’t quite grasped his meaning, he immediately yelled at them, “What do you think I should do about you both, getting tired of the old and craving the new? Don’t just sit there, hurry up and help clean up the dishes.”

After shouting at them, he immediately pulled his wife, who was cleaning up, close to him and shielded her. “Wife, you rest a bit. Let them handle the cleaning.”

Li Yiyi glanced at the couple, happy to let go of her duties as the hostess, and without saying a word, she put down the half-collected dishes.

Jiang Huijing, seeing this, reluctantly spoke up, “Third brother, we’re guests here, right? How can the hosts make guests wash the dishes? This is really disrespectful.”

Jiang Hong sneered coldly and gave them a sharp look, “Do you think you’re guests here? If I didn’t know better, I’d think you two were the owners of this house. You don’t even have the proper manners when eating. Hurry up and clean up, or if you don’t want to, take your stuff and leave right now.”

Jiang Huijing wanted to say something else, but before the words left her mouth, she suddenly felt someone tugging on the corner of her clothes. Looking over, she saw her husband secretly shaking his head at her.

Seeing this, Jiang Huijing reluctantly closed her mouth.

Wang Fuguo smiled at this moment, “Third brother, third sister-in-law, you two rest. Me and Huijing will clean up the dishes.”

After saying this, he tugged at the still-reluctant Jiang Huijing, and only then did she start helping to clean up the tableware.

Although the couple was a bit clumsy, they managed to get the dishes into the kitchen without breaking anything.

Once they were gone, Li Yiyi looked at Jiang Hong with a amused smile and said, “I see now. Your sister’s husband is like a fox, always sly. Your sister can’t handle him.”

“I noticed that a long time ago. Our family didn’t want her to marry him back then, but she insisted. We couldn’t stop her. My parents almost cut ties with her over it,” Jiang Hong said with a cold laugh.

“I don’t care about that. They’re all yours now. I want to sleep early, I still have to visit my mother’s place tomorrow,” she yawned.

Jiang Hong quickly grabbed her hand, “Wife, you’re really going to leave me to handle them alone?”

Li Yiyi, hearing this, couldn’t help but laugh, “What do you mean ‘handle’? You’re making it sound worse than it is. Anyone would think they’re trouble. And what are you talking about, ‘can’t handle them’? They’re your sister and your brother-in-law, that’s your responsibility.”

She then smiled and patted his cheek lightly, like she was soothing a child, “You just take care of them. I don’t want things to get chaotic at home.” After saying this, she stood on her toes and kissed his cheek. “Behave. I’m going to take a shower.”

Jiang Hong looked at his wife’s graceful figure leaving and touched his cheek, smiling softly. “Heartless wife.” Though he spoke the words, love for her was clearly reflected in his eyes.

In the kitchen, Wang Fuguo and Jiang Huijing finally managed to wash the dishes with grumpy expressions.

When they walked out of the kitchen, looking like they had given up on life, they unexpectedly bumped into Jiang Hong, who was standing by the kitchen door.

“Third brother, why are you still up so late? And where are we staying tonight?” Jiang Huijing quickly wiped her hands, a smile plastered on her face as she walked up to Jiang Hong.

Jiang Hong glanced at them and said, “You two clean up. I’ll take you to the town to stay at the guesthouse later.”

As soon as these words were said, the couple immediately panicked, realizing they had no money and couldn’t afford to stay anywhere.

“No, Third brother, are you really going to do this? You’re not even giving us a place to stay?” Jiang Huijing’s eyes reddened with worry, looking at him with a pitiful expression.

Jiang Hong’s eyes turned cold as he glanced at the couple. “Enough with the nonsense. Go clean up, or you can walk to the town yourselves.”

Jiang Huijing was about to say something more, but her husband tugged at her sleeve. The couple exchanged glances, and Jiang Huijing reluctantly closed her mouth and followed her husband to gather their belongings.

In the living room, Jiang Huijing glared at Wang Fuguo, who was packing their bags. “Wang Fuguo, what were you doing just now? My third brother is sending us to the town’s guesthouse, and you stopped me from speaking? Have you forgotten we don’t have a single penny left? Where are we going to get money for a guesthouse?”

Wang Fuguo looked at his angry wife and placed a hand on her shoulder, “Are you stupid? We don’t have money, but my third brother does. He’s the one sending us to the guesthouse, so of course, he’ll pay for it. Why worry?”

Hearing his calculating words, Jiang Huijing thought for a moment, then smiled. “You’re right. My third brother’s family is doing so well now. What’s wrong with him paying for us to stay in the guesthouse?”

Although Jiang Hong didn’t enter the room, he knew the couple must be up to no good inside.

After waiting a while and seeing that they were still dragging their feet, he impatiently shouted from the yard, “Are you done yet? If you don’t leave now, you’ll have to walk to the town yourselves.”

“Okay, okay.” As soon as Jiang Huijing finished speaking, the couple rushed out from the living room, each carrying the luggage they had brought in.

Jiang Hong glanced at the luggage they were carrying and turned to walk outside.

Inside, Jiang Mother looked out the window with concern.

“Don’t worry, third son will take good care of Huijing,” Jiang Father noticed his wife’s concern and comforted her.

Jiang Mother, her face somewhat stiff, replied, “I’m not concerned about that girl. How she’s doing out there doesn’t matter to me. She thinks she’s so capable, so let her be. I’m not worried at all.” After saying this, she turned to pretend to sleep.

Jiang Father smiled and shook his head lightly, amused by his wife’s sharp tongue and soft heart.

In the town, Jiang Hong had found a safe guesthouse for the couple to stay in.
