Chapter 1857: Chapter 1857: What Are You Planning Now?

Speaking of this, he glanced at his youngest brother and teased, “Uncle is just ‘too narrow-minded.’ Look, there are so many things to manage, and he still has to teach you.”

Seeing his father take it as a matter of pride instead of embarrassment, Xue Shi was speechless.

Although he was criticized for being narrow-minded, it was just a brotherly joke. They were used to messing around like this, so Xue Sifu didn’t mind and just laughed, “Erfu, now you’re suddenly a father-in-law. Come on, tell your brother what you really think, so I can get the picture.”

His brother had one son and two daughters, whereas he had one daughter and one son. His daughter, Xue Qiansheng, was still young, only turning twelve in the latter half of the year, so there was no rush. However, seeing his brother about to become a father-in-law made him think that he too, would someday become someone else’s father-in-law.

Hearing this, Xue Erfu shrugged his shoulders, “I don’t feel anything special, just that my own tender cabbage has been dug up by someone else’s pig.”

“Pfft.” Xue Sifu burst out laughing. Indeed, all fathers-in-law around the world had the same thought.

“Dad, so what should we do about this?” Xue Shi asked.

“What should we do?” Xue Erfu glanced at him, “There’s nothing to be done, just let her handle it. She can’t possibly never bring him to meet us. It’s bound to happen sooner or later, probably right now they’re just starting out, feeling that the timing isn’t right to bring him back so soon to meet us.”

“That’s true, but I’m really curious about what he looks like,” Xue Shi said.

Xue Erfu was naturally curious too. After all, he would likely be his future son-in-law. After a moment of thought, he said, “Is his name really Bai Xing? Why do I feel like I’ve heard this name before…”

Xue Sifu reminded him, “Didn’t Ganggang mention this name in the letter he wrote back? Xue Shi and Xue Bai heard about it from Shoushou. At that time, they met him at the academy… seems like Ganggang even has a portrait of him.”

“A portrait?!” Xue Shi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Xue Sifu found it amusing, “What are you plotting now?”

Xue Shi, grinning cheekily and nonchalantly draped his arm around his uncle’s shoulder, “Uncle, give me half a day off, I need to go home. Ganggang’s paintings are all stored in her room in the Painting Jar. I want to take a look if there’s a portrait of Bai Xing, I’m just too curious. Uncle, please?”

He even started to act spoiled.

“You’re giving me goosebumps, go on then,” Xue Sifu was almost sickened by his nephew, “Go if you must, but be careful, don’t let the other family members know. Ganggang is hiding this for a reason, otherwise, she would have already told us. You know her temperament.”

“Got it!”

Not bothering with Xue Bai, Xue Shi happily left the main shop and went back home.

Seeing this, Xue Erfu, the father, shook his head endlessly.

As soon as Xue Shi got home, he sneaked into his sister Xue Ganggang’s room. Among those dozen or so paintings in the Painting Jar, he found the only one depicting a person. He wasn’t clear why a White Tiger was painted over the person’s image, but he had to admit, the figure under the White Tiger seemed quite handsome and reliable—probably Bai Xing. He immediately rolled up the painting, hid it inside his jacket, and sneaked out of the house again.

Xue Yan was in the backyard teaching Xue Yang how to practice martial arts and didn’t see him, but Jiang Yue, who was helping Li Hehua deliver items to a village sister-in-law’s house, came back just in time to see Xue Shi sneaking out of the house.
