Chapter 31 - Son-in-Law's Arrogance? Li Junsheng Shows Him Who's Boss!

Li Junsheng's actions and slightly aggressive words immediately surprised everyone present.

Especially Sun Gui, who was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he looked at Li Junsheng in disbelief, sizing him up for a long time.

Was this still his weak father-in-law?

Why was he reacting so strongly today? When Sun Gui and his mother beat Li Chunya before, Li Junsheng didn't even say a word to defend her!

Now he was suddenly playing the good father?

How ridiculous!

Li Chunya's numb heart seemed to stir slightly. She hadn't expected her father to stand up for her.

But what was the point?

Once she left this house and returned to her in-laws, she would only face even worse retaliation. Whether he supported her or not didn't matter anymore.

When he should have stood up for her, he did nothing. Now he was just making things worse for her at home!

Li Chunya hung her head, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Li Guojun leaned close to Li Chunya and whispered to her, "Dad has been acting strange lately. He even hit me twice!"

Li Chunya didn't pay attention to Elder Brother Li Guojun's words. She was pregnant and didn't want to go back and face her husband and mother-in-law's scolding. All she wanted now was to make Sun Gui calm down.

"Never mind, the tea wasn't good. Dad poured it out, so let me make you another cup."

Li Chunya went into the kitchen to get another cup and make tea.

Sun Gui was initially at a loss for what to do, but Li Chunya's submissive behavior gave him great face.

Sun Gui looked at Li Junsheng with a sidelong glance, completely ignoring his anger and words.

His long, narrow eyes seemed to be saying to Li Junsheng, "Look, she's doing it willingly. It's not my fault!"

Li Junsheng ignored Sun Gui's provocation. He only felt heartache that his daughter had become so submissive from being beaten. It was all his fault. If he had supported her earlier, she wouldn't have become like this.

Before she got married, Chunya was such an optimistic child!

When Li Chunya brought Sun Gui another cup of tea, this time with noticeably fewer tea leaves.

"Here, there's less tea this time. Drink it!"

Sun Gui clearly didn't care about Li Junsheng's words. Seeing Li Junsheng dare to speak harshly to him today, Sun Gui didn't want to stay at Li Junsheng's house any longer.

So he looked at Li Junsheng and asked rudely, "Old man, why did you call Li Chunya back? Don't even think about making her help with chores. She's pregnant, and we have enough work at home. We don't need her to help here!"

Li Chunya felt a bitter taste in her mouth. Sun Gui didn't care about her at all. Although he said she shouldn't help with chores at her parents' house, at home, he made her do all the work!

He complained that she hadn't given him a son, complained about her pregnancy stretch marks, and her changed figure.

Behind her back, he called her an old woman!

Faced with Sun Gui's rude questioning, Li Junsheng countered, "What? In your house, my daughter has to serve you while pregnant?"

"What are you living for? You should chop off your hands and feet and donate them to someone who needs them. Chunya is this far along in her pregnancy. She can't even sleep well. This is when she needs someone to take care of her, but look at you!"

"When my daughter was always so clean, couldn't you help her wash her hair? Her hair needs washing. Can't you see?"

Li Junsheng scolded Sun Gui, his words filled with concern.

Li Chunya raised her hand to touch her braid, her expression stunned. It was as if the strings of a harp had been wildly plucked in her heart!

So Dad, he still cared about her?

He could see her hardships, so why didn't he defend her before?

As someone who had also given birth, Ji Xiaocui particularly understood Li Chunya's difficulties.

She couldn't help but show concern and care for her sister-in-law Li Chunya.

"Your hair hasn't been washed, and it's probably hard to squat to use the toilet, right? I have a stool. You can take it later to sit on when you use the bathroom."

Wang Xiuhua saw Li Junsheng defending his sister-in-law today and wanted to gain his favor to get more money. She quickly joined in, unwilling to be outdone!

She didn't want all the credit to go to the second son's wife. If they got on Li Junsheng's good side, he might give them more money.

This second son's wife had quite a few ulterior motives!

Wang Xiuhua thought to herself.

"Since you're here today, Sister-in-law, let me wash your hair for you? I have shampoo. Your hair will smell nice after washing."

Seeing Ji Xiaocui care about Li Chunya and everyone showing concern for her, Sun Gui was still extremely disdainful.

He didn't think Ji Xiaocui and Wang Xiuhua were genuinely good to Li Chunya. They must have an ulterior motive.

So Sun Gui stopped pretending and bluntly said to Li Junsheng, "Old man, what do you want from Li Chunya?"

"She's already had two children. You never cared about her before, but now you suddenly care?"

Li Chunya paused. She still had a father in Li Junsheng, so she couldn't help but defend him in front of Sun Gui.

"How can you talk to Dad like that? You didn't even call him Dad when you came. How can you think such things about Dad and my brothers and sisters-in-law?"

Sun Gui didn't expect Li Chunya to still be on her parents' side. His eyes turned cruel for a moment. In front of Li Junsheng, he immediately threatened Li Chunya:

"Shut up! This isn't your place to speak. Are you itching for a beating after two days without one?"

"You just wait. If you say another word, I'll give you a good beating when we get home. Let's see who can protect you. Don't try to be tough with me now!"

Li Chunya's body trembled, and she immediately stopped speaking.

Because Sun Gui would definitely follow through on his threats. She didn't want to go back and be beaten again.

Li Junsheng saw through this. If he didn't give Sun Gui a good lesson now to teach him a lesson, Li Chunya would definitely have a hard time when she went back!

This Sun Gui, calling him "old man" all the time, clearly thought he was too old to be his match.

Today, Li Junsheng would really have to show Sun Gui the difference between them!

He was only fifty, not that old yet. He could still stand up for his daughter.

"Sun Gui, you bastard, daring to threaten my daughter. Let me see what you can do. If you want to cause trouble, come at me. What's the point of bullying a woman like Chunya?"

Li Junsheng grabbed Sun Gui's neck and slapped him twice!

Sun Gui was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he was furious and wanted to hit Li Junsheng back.

But who was Li Junsheng? He had been working with steel parts in the machinery factory for years. His grip was no ordinary strength!

He held Sun Gui's hand without even using full force, but Sun Gui screamed in pain.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Let go of my arm, you're going to break it!"
