Xia Hou Zhongying pulled Jin Taeyeon and fled back to the Jin family, unable to help but let out a sigh of relief. If he had known, he wouldn't have shown his martial arts skills.
The consequences of Xia Hou Zhongying easily defeating Li Xunzhe were much more severe than he had imagined. He was almost unable to get away from the younger members of the Jin family. Even Jin Taeyeon's four-year-old uncle was jumping around him, circling him, and calling him "Zhongying brother" in a flattering manner, almost making the elders of the Jin family spurt blood.
After the two of them fled back to the Jin family, Jin Taeyeon couldn't help but giggle. When her little uncle called Xia Hou Zhongying "Zhongying brother," the faces of the Jin family elders turned a liver color. Especially her aunt and uncle, who were so embarrassed they almost couldn't show their faces. They were now a generation younger than Xia Hou Zhongying. Thinking about the scene just now, it was really too funny.
"Zhongying brother, is the martial art you practice called 'Flying Heaven Sword Flow'?" Jin Taeyeon had never seen "Rurouni Kenshin," so she naturally didn't know that Xia Hou Zhongying was joking and thought he was serious.
"Ha ha..." Xia Hou Zhongying couldn't help but laugh loudly when Jin Taeyeon asked, "I was just teasing that fool, and you believed it too. 'Flying Heaven Sword Flow' is a martial arts style from a manga. There's no such style in the real world. I practice Tan Leg."
"Hee hee... Zhongying brother, you're so naughty." Jin Taeyeon covered her mouth and giggled, her whole body trembling.
Not long after Xia Hou Zhongying and Jin Taeyeon returned to the Jin family, Jin's father and mother also came back. Jin's mother seemed very happy today. Even though they were still quite far from the house, the two of them could already hear Jin's mother's voice and her happy laughter.
"You don't know how funny those old ladies' expressions were, all with their mouths wide open and eyes bulging out." Jin's mother laughed with a wide smile, "Especially Xiyan's mother. When those old ladies kept surrounding me to ask about Zhongying, making all sorts of exclamations, her face turned a liver color."
The laughter of Jin Zhiyong, Huang Meiyi, and Jin Xiyan followed.
"Usually, she always boasts about her cooking skills, getting the most praise from the elders. Xiyan also married well, always putting on a high and mighty attitude in front of us, thinking she's better than all of us." Jin's mother laughed again, "I'll see if she dares to be arrogant in front of me again. Zhongying is really a credit to our family."
"Can you stop talking for a moment? You've been talking all the way, aren't you tired of it?" Jin's father's voice also reached Xia Hou Zhongying and Jin Taeyeon's ears.
"What's wrong with me enjoying the old ladies' exclamations and their envious looks?" Jin's mother suddenly became indignant, "I couldn't hold my head up in front of them before, wasn't it because you were no good? And we're a branch of the family. Now that I can finally see those old ladies' envious looks, can't you let me be happy?"
"What does it have to do with me that you couldn't hold your head up? Isn't it because your cooking isn't as good as theirs?" Jin's father said dejectedly.
"You say my cooking isn't good?" Jin's mother was furious, "Then don't eat my cooking in the future. If you want to eat, make it yourself."
Xia Hou Zhongying and Jin Taeyeon, listening to the conversation between Jin's father and mother outside the door, looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Oh, what's wrong with you? I didn't say your cooking isn't good. I just said it's a little worse than theirs, but not by much." Jin's father realized he had said something wrong and quickly tried to make amends to avoid a drop in his quality of life.
"Auntie's cooking is the best, I love it the most." Huang Meiyi's voice sounded, flattering Jin's mother.
"Oh, it's still Pan Yi who knows good food." Jin's mother was delighted, "Pan Yi, you should come to our house more often with Taeyeon. I'll cook for you."
"Sure, sure, I'll definitely come often." Huang Meiyi said with a smile.
As soon as Jin's mother stepped into the house, she saw Xia Hou Zhongying and immediately beamed with joy. She quickly walked over, pulled his hand, and sat him down on the sofa, constantly asking him about his well-being. She couldn't get enough of looking at him, even his awkward head-scratching seemed so cool and handsome to her. He was truly a good son-in-law.
Jin Zhiyong really wanted to ask Xia Hou Zhongying about his martial arts skills, but since his mother was occupying him, he didn't dare to snatch him away and had to wait on the side.
Jin Xiyan didn't care and directly ran into Xia Hou Zhongying's arms, sitting on his lap, staring at him curiously. This brother-in-law was really amazing, and she admired him greatly. Just now, in the family shrine, many of the Jin family children who usually didn't want to be close to her were all surrounding her, giving her the honor of being the center of attention for the first time, which greatly satisfied her vanity. Naturally, she was very satisfied with this brother-in-law.
Jin's father was very helpless and dejected that Xia Hou Zhongying, as soon as he arrived at the Jin family, became the darling of the whole family, taking away the central position in the house. He was also a little jealous that his mother was so protective of him, but he didn't dare to speak, fearing that his mother would really get angry and stop cooking for him. He could only sit on the sofa, sulking.
Not long after the Jin family returned, and Jin's mother had only chatted with Xia Hou Zhongying for a few minutes, a large group of young Jin family members, including Guo Dabo, Cui Yonghao, and three other prospective sons-in-law, and even the four-year-old uncle, entered the house. Jin's father and mother were stunned; they had never had so many people in their house before, and it had never been so lively.
The uncle, being the highest in seniority, walked at the front. Jin's father and mother quickly greeted him, calling him "little uncle."
"Nephew, no need to be too polite. I came to see Zhongying brother." The uncle nodded at Jin's father and mother and smiled.
The two of them almost fell over, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The seniority was really a mess. Xia Hou Zhongying was the prospective son-in-law recognized by Jin's father and mother. According to Jin Taeyeon's seniority, he should be the great-nephew of the uncle, but the uncle called him "Zhongying brother," making the prospective son-in-law a generation higher than them. How should they arrange this?
As soon as the young Jin family members entered Jin Taeyeon's house, they surrounded Xia Hou Zhongying. Jin's mother couldn't keep holding onto Xia Hou Zhongying and had to let the young people have their space, moving to the side.
This made things difficult for Xia Hou Zhongying, who was surrounded and couldn't get away. He had been able to run back to the Jin family from his uncle's house, but now that he was already at the Jin family, where could he go? Unless he returned to Seoul.
"Right, back to Seoul." Xia Hou Zhongying's eyes lit up. He really couldn't stay in Jeonju anymore.
The young Jin family members all regarded Xia Hou Zhongying as an idol and begged him to be their master, teaching them martial arts. Some even demonstrated the "Flying Heaven Sword Flow Dragon Claw Flash" and the improved "Dragon Spine Flash" they had just learned in the Jin family's living room, asking Xia Hou Zhongying if they had learned it correctly.
When the girls learned from Jin Zhiyong's boasting that Xia Hou Zhongying was also a film director and was close to Lee Hyori, they immediately screamed and rushed forward, surrounding Xia Hou Zhongying, even more crazily than the young men, asking him to help get Lee Hyori's autograph.
Some of the girls were hugging his arms, some were hugging his legs, almost throwing themselves at him, making Jin Taeyeon's face turn sour, feeling indignant.
Jin Xiyan, in Xia Hou Zhongying's arms, was waving her hands, blocking the girls' advances, and angrily shouting, "What are you doing? What are you doing? He's my brother-in-law. How can you take advantage of my brother-in-law?"
Jin's father and mother, seeing the chaos in the living room, with things being knocked over and the constant clattering sounds, were at a loss, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. What was going on here?
