Chapter 1191: You’d Better Worry About Yourself First

Chapter 1191: Chapter 1191: You’d Better Worry About Yourself First

Li Xiaoyun was dumbfounded seeing Mr. Li’s stance.

"Dad..." Li Xiaoyun felt that Zhao Dingli wasn’t great at drinking.

After all, last time Zhao Dingli drank just a bit and got drunk.

"He’s not good at drinking," Li Xiaoyun said, and besides, Mr. Li’s drinking capacity wasn’t great either.

"If he’s not good at drinking, then drink less, just drink until you can’t drink anymore. It’s not like I’m unaware of the limits, I won’t forcibly open his mouth to pour it in," Mr. Li said, feeling jealous.

Li Xiaoyun was only concerned about Zhao Dingli being bad at drinking, why wasn’t she concerned about him too?

"Then take it easy yourself, too," Li Xiaoyun said, "you should drink less too."

Feeling cared for by Li Xiaoyun, Mr. Li was happy: "Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control."

Li Xiaoyun thought to herself, "What control do you have?"

Li Xiaoyun could only sigh helplessly and quietly warned Zhao Dingli, "Don’t just drink if my dad tells you to later."

With Zhao Dingli being so smart and having strong adaptability, he would surely handle Mr. Li well.

"If you drink less, you can even get my dad to drink less," Li Xiaoyun whispered.

"Alright," Zhao Dingli nodded.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.

After all, he’s the future father-in-law.

No matter what, Zhao Dingli couldn’t refuse too much.

He still got poured quite a bit of alcohol by Mr. Li.

Li Xiaoyun watched from the side, sighing helplessly, but couldn’t stop it.

Finally, after the meal was finished with much difficulty, Zhao Dingli’s eyes looked dazed.

Nevertheless, he could still keep his body sitting upright, as long as he didn’t speak, nobody could tell he was drunk.

Unlike Mr. Li, who, after drinking, had his tongue tied, continuously talking.

Mr. Li was usually rather talkative, and it sometimes already made Mrs. Li’s head ache with irritation.

Drunk, he became even more talkative.

Mrs. Li, not knowing Zhao Dingli well, thought he wasn’t drunk at all.

Just look at how upright was his sitting posture.

In contrast, Mr. Li was already staggering, barely sitting upright, which made Mrs. Li quite upset.

Like this, you’re examining others?

You should examine yourself first!

Mrs. Li, annoyed, went to the kitchen and prepared two cups of honey water, bringing them out, she handed one to Li Xiaoyun: "Give this cup to Dingli. He seems fine, but drinking makes you uncomfortable, let’s have a bit first."

Li Xiaoyun nodded, taking it.

"Don’t be fooled by his appearance, he’s actually already drunk," Li Xiaoyun said helplessly.

"I see he’s sitting pretty well," Mrs. Li said.

"He holds his drink well; after drinking, he doesn’t make a fuss. If he still has the strength, he might even wash up and go to sleep. It’s just that he might forget it by the next day," Li Xiaoyun said, "especially in front of people, even if he’s drunk, he can hold it well, not letting anyone notice he’s drunk."

"Wow, his self-control is too strong," Mrs. Li exclaimed.

Just having finished marveling, Mrs. Li suddenly felt something was off.

She looked at Li Xiaoyun: "Wait, how do you know so well? Even that he’d wash up before going to bed?"

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Accidentally blurted out.

Li Xiaoyun quickly explained: "He previously had a social event, drank and couldn’t drive, so I went to pick him up, that’s why I know."

"As for washing up, that’s from chatting on WeChat, listening to him say," Li Xiaoyun said truthfully, although omitting part of the truth.

At the time, she indeed picked Zhao Dingli up and learned about him washing up through WeChat.

Only, she was in the room next to his at the time.

This part, Li Xiaoyun didn’t tell Mrs. Li.

Li Xiaoyun just smoothly glossed over it, with Mrs. Li not suspecting a thing.

Seeing Li Xiaoyun bring the honey water to Zhao Dingli’s lips: "Come, have some honey water."

Zhao Dingli nodded, not daring to move quickly, fearing his head would ache from the shaking.

With the cup in hand, Li Xiaoyun didn’t dare let go, together with Zhao Dingli, finished the water.

"How do you feel? Any discomfort anywhere?" Li Xiaoyun asked again.

"Headache," Zhao Dingli’s voice was somewhat hoarse, "mouth dry, throat painful."

Mrs. Li looked at Zhao Dingli as if viewing some spectacle.

Thinking to herself, this future son-in-law has excellent drinking conduct.

Listening to his hoarse voice, one could almost feel it.

Only then did Mrs. Li fully believe, Zhao Dingli was genuinely drunk.

But even so, still no fuss, no noise, quiet as ever.

At most just furrowing his brows indicating discomfort.

Beyond that, no other actions.

If one didn’t see these, you really couldn’t tell Zhao Dingli was already drunk.

Looking again at Mr. Li, though not throwing a drunken tantrum, he kept on babbling endlessly.

Just watching Mr. Li alone, one might even tolerate his drinking conduct.

But compared to Zhao Dingli, Mrs. Li suddenly felt quite disdainful towards Mr. Li.

Really?

Seriously?

Is he really fit to judge Zhao Dingli’s drinking conduct?

Mrs. Li quickly fed Mr. Li honey water, without another word, took out her phone to record a video.

While explaining: "Lao Li, are you really evaluating Dingli’s drinking conduct? Look at your drunken state, and then look at Dingli’s. Don’t think Dingli isn’t drunk, I testify, with my personality as a guarantee, he really is drunk. Look at his drinking conduct, you best handle yourself first, alright!"

Li Xiaoyun held back her laughter, saying: "Let them sit here for now, I’ll help you with the plates."

"No need, take him away, I’ll handle the rest," Mrs. Li said.

She never let Li Xiaoyun do chores since she was young.

The first time was when Li Xiaoyun cooked for them.

Mrs. Li certainly wanted to taste Li Xiaoyun’s cooking, so she agreed.

But even then, only let Li Xiaoyun cook a few dishes.

Mrs. Li always felt that as a daughter, one should enjoy comforts in their parental home, with everything taken care of by parents.

But once married, she becomes a wife, a mother, a daughter-in-law, and many things are inevitable.

The contributions required are immense.

This society is unfair to women too often, but it seems to have become a norm, an unspoken agreement.

You are supposed to do it.

If you don’t, you’re wrong, and if not others, those around you will criticize you.

To maintain life, one must blend into a torrent you might not entirely agree with.

So, Mrs. Li just hoped Li Xiaoyun could be as comfortable as possible before marriage.

It’s just luck that Li Xiaoyun is together with Zhao Dingli.

Capable yet not condescending, he doesn’t see her contributions as mere duties, not assuming she should give more.

Mrs. Li felt specifically at ease and happy for Li Xiaoyun.

"Mom, there’s so much stuff, how can I let you handle it alone?" Though there were only four people, Mrs. Li made a big meal to welcome Zhao Dingli.
