Father Lu was famous for being a tyrant at home. Even though he was especially domineering in front of Mother Lu, when Han Zimo opened his mouth, he instantly admitted defeat. Father Lu's lips moved, but he couldn't say anything decent for a long time.
Even though Jiujiu was his daughter, as the saying goes, a married daughter is like spilled water. Now that Jiujiu was married to Li Chungang, she was a member of the Li family. Even if he was Jiujiu's father, he couldn't casually scold or beat Jiujiu.
Jiujiu looked at Father Lu's sweaty forehead and said with a cold laugh, "This is my father."
"Father?" Han Zimo looked at Father Lu suspiciously.
Father Lu hurriedly nodded and said, "I am Xiu An's father. If you don't believe me, you can ask the villagers."
"Is that so?" Han Zimo murmured, then lowered his eyes and released his grip on Father Lu's wrist. Then he looked at Jiujiu and said, "Since sister-in-law's family is here to visit, then this little brother will visit again tomorrow."
After Han Zimo finished speaking, he smiled at Jiujiu and turned to leave.
Father Lu had wanted to angrily demand an answer from Jiujiu, but when Han Zimo appeared, Father Lu instantly cowered. He didn't dare to say anything to Jiujiu, and quickly left with Mother Lu while supporting Lu Quanan.
Looking at Father Lu's back, Jiujiu's lips curled into a cold smile, then she slammed the door shut.
As soon as Jiujiu closed the door, Whitey and Steamed Bun immediately rushed over.
Steamed Bun relied on its excellent jumping ability as a cat to jump onto Jiujiu's shoulder. It rubbed its round furry face against Jiujiu and acted coquettishly.
Whitey couldn't jump up, so it anxiously circled around Jiujiu, making anxious whimpering sounds.
Jiujiu was amused by Little White's appearance. She bent down and carried Little White into her arms. She raised her hand and tapped the tip of Little White's little black nose. Then, they went back into the house together.
Early the next morning, someone knocked on Jiujiu's door.
Jiujiu thought it was the Lu couple, but when she opened the door, she saw Han Zimo, whom she had met yesterday.
Han Zimo was dressed in white today, and his hair was only held up with a jade hairpin. When he saw Jiujiu, he immediately cupped his hands and shouted, "Little brother greets sister-in-law."
Not to mention whether Jiujiu knew that Han Zimo was Li Chungang's brother, even Lv Xiu 'an did not know. After all, Lv Xiu' an had never seen Li Chungang before their marriage, and until her death, Han Zimo had never appeared, let alone Jiujiu.
For a moment, Jiujiu couldn't figure out who Han Zimo was. Although she had doubts in her heart, she still invited Han Zimo in with a smile on her face, "Little brother, please come in."
Jiujiu said as she led Han Zimo into the house.
Han Zimo followed behind Jiujiu into the house, and at the same time, he carefully looked at the courtyard.
The two sides of the path, which were originally overgrown with weeds, had been tidied up by Jiujiu into small vegetable gardens. Some seasonal vegetables were planted in different categories. Near the sides of the path, there were clusters of unknown flowers. Although the weather had begun to turn cold, the flowers were still blooming brilliantly, emitting a refreshing fragrance that made people feel relaxed and happy.
This appearance, compared to two years ago, was like the difference between heaven and earth. It was clearly the same place, but the appearance was already different.
No wonder Li Chungang had always told him that Lv Xiu 'an was a good girl, and that being able to marry her was the greatest blessing in his life. When he first met her, he only felt that although this woman's appearance was rather beautiful, her words and actions were exceptionally fierce, without a single bit of gentleness of a woman. If he married her, he was afraid that he would roar like a lion from Hedong.
But when she walked into the house and saw the brand new house and the particularly warm dressing, Han Zimo couldn't help but agree with Li Chungang's words in his heart. This Lv Xiu 'an was indeed a good girl.
It was a pity that Li Chungang's life was a little short.
As soon as Han Zimo walked into the house and sat down, he heard the cries of a kitten and a puppy. Then, he saw Steamed Bun and Whitey stagger in from outside. Seeing that there was someone in the house, Steamed Bun and Whitey's bodies instantly tensed up, especially Whitey. All the hair on its back stood up, as if it would immediately rush up and bite Han Zimo if he felt threatened.
It was clearly just a cute little puppy, but its actions were so cute that Han Zimo couldn't help but smile.
Jiujiu returned to the hall after brewing tea. When she saw Whitey's hair standing up, she scolded in a low voice, "Whitey."
Hearing Jiujiu's voice and confirming that Han Zimo wasn't a bad person, Whitey whined a couple of times, feeling wronged. Then, it ran to Jiujiu's feet and acted like a spoiled child. Where was the fierceness from before? It was clearly a cute little puppy begging for its owner to hug it.
Steamed Bun coldly glanced at Whitey, then with noble steps, jumped onto Jiujiu's knees and rubbed them. Then, it closed its eyes and lay down on top of it, snoring. Its appearance was indescribably comfortable.
Jiujiu conveniently picked up Whitey from the ground, letting the two of them lie on her knees.
Seeing Jiujiu's loving appearance, Han Zimo's tone couldn't help but become much gentler.
"It's my mistake to only come visit sister-in-law after so many days. I hope sister-in-law won't take offense." Although Han Zimo's mouth was apologizing, there wasn't much of an apology on his face.
Jiujiu wasn't clear about Han Zimo's origins. Although Han Zimo repeatedly called her sister-in-law and said that he was Li Chungang's brother, Jiujiu's heart was still skeptical. Therefore, she didn't take Han Zimo's hypocritical apology to heart. She only said, "My husband and I have never met when he was alive, so I didn't know of your existence. This madam hasn't studied for many years, so I don't know any great principles. If I have neglected you, please forgive me."
Although Jiujiu said this, her tone wasn't polite, "My husband has passed away for a long time. I wonder why Young Master Han is here. If you are mourning for my husband, please wait a moment. This madam will bring Young Master Han to see my husband."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she stood up. Han Zimo quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't be in such a hurry, sister-in-law. I'm not here to look for my brother, but to see you."
"See me?" Jiujiu's eyebrows raised slightly. She looked at Han Zimo coldly, "Why are you looking for me?"
"My brother and I had a business partnership. Although my brother has passed away, the most important thing in life is loyalty. I can't go against my conscience and hide the dividends. I'm here today for the dividends of that business."
Li Chungang had no parents and no children. Now, he only had Jiujiu as his wife. Now that Li Chungang was gone, his dividends should naturally belong to Jiujiu.
Hearing that Han Zimo was here for the dividends, Jiujiu's expression eased a lot.
However, as the saying goes, all businessmen are evil. Although Han Zimo's face was gentle and his temperament was excellent, one couldn't judge a book by its cover. If he was really a businessman, how could he take the initiative to give the profits to a person who didn't know anything?
Even a fool wouldn't believe that Han Zimo had no ulterior motives.
