Chapter 1259: Chapter 1231: Thinking About It, It's Kind of Cute (Reader Reward + Update) Chapter 1259: Chapter 1231: Thinking About It, It's Kind of Cute (Reader Reward + Update) Mr. Grutt truly didn't believe the world could produce someone so colossally stupid, yet that person turned out to be his own son!!
Who did he think he was standing up to?
To put it nicely, Edward Grutt could be called a young calf who was not afraid of tigers, not feeling Mr. Yuno to be all that impressive, but to put it less politely, it was as if he had a hole in his brain. Here was Mr. Yuno in all his presence, and yet he heedlessly charged right into trouble.
Elder Brother, Sister-in-law, and Kiara, these three had expressions that looked as if they were gleefully watching a show. Ah, challenging Mr. Yuno?
Fine, that took guts!
“Dad, I don't even know why you put up with him. Aren't you two from different Workplace Organisations? Can he actually boss you around? His family bullied My Mom, so what's wrong with me bringing a few guys to stand up for her? Just like your Second Son's moment in the spotlight for fighting someone else's Son, why can't I stand up for My Mom?” Sania still wasn't convinced.
“Sania, stop talking!” Mrs. Grutt, although dull-witted, wasn't completely stupid. She saw her husband's complexion and knew trouble was brewing, hurriedly tugging at her son. But this Edward Grutt had been somewhat deprived of oxygen at birth, his brain wasn't all that sharp, and yet he was stubbornly headstrong. The more he was restrained, the more he wanted to speak.
“You think you can compare with your Second Brother?!” Mr. Grutt nearly choked with rage, could these two situations even be compared?
In earlier years, the second son had once broken the bones of a certain Extravagant with a kick. Both sides had arranged a fight, and Yoel Marine took about ten people and wiped the floor with dozens from the other party. Edward Grutt had been holding a grudge about the fact that his father hadn't criticized the second son but had instead praised him vigorously. All these years he was seething with resentment, thinking that his time had finally come to shine.
He thought his father admired sons who were not afraid of power; since both had challenged authority and the Second Son had been praised, where was he lacking?
He was lacking by a hundred thousand miles, Mr. Grutt was fuming inwardly.
The guy Yoel Marine beat up had a history of misconduct, and that family's background couldn't even be compared to the Old Yates Family. After beating them up, it actually made it easier for Mr. Grutt to take sides, which was beneficial for his career. But this third son…
Mr. Grutt sighed. If only his third son had one-tenth of the shrewdness of his second son, things would be so much better.
“Oh, brought a lot of people, are you trying to instigate a gang fight?” Mr. Yuno said coldly, yet inside he felt a bit of sympathy for Mr. Grutt. To have sired such a…thing, was he eager for people to not miss his shortcomings?
No wonder he hadn't heard anything about Mr. Grutt's wife and son before, they were hiding in their hometown, and the moment they came here, trouble ensued, proving that you can't support a wall with mud.
“No! Old Yu, look, it's just the kids messing around. He brought so many people actually because, actually because–Yes! They were helping my Second Daughter-in-law's moving company, you see how hard our family has it, we're all part of the struggling masses…”
Mr. Grutt was both trying to smile apologetically and acting pitiful, all because he was afraid Mr. Yuno would lose his temper.
“Dad, we're not poor–Ah!” The third son got kicked by his father, the pain making him clutch his crotch.
“Pfft!” Kiara couldn't hold back her laughter, and Sister-in-law turned her body around, coughing, trying to maintain her image!
“Old Grutt! Why did you kick your son like that! If you hurt him, our family will be without a future heir!” Mrs. Grutt said in horror, while Mr. Grutt's veins throbbed with anger.
“Shut up! Embarrassing spectacle, roll back to your hometown later! Don't stay here and make a spectacle in front of me!” He turned his head and bowed subserviently to Mr. Yuno.
“Old Yu, sorry to have entertained you like this. To be frank, when this third son of mine was born, his brain was a bit short of oxygen, his way of thinking isn't quite like normal people's… Please consider that he belongs to a vulnerable group, and don't stoop to his level.”
“Mr. Grutt! Dare you to call my son stupid? The doctor said he's just a bit slow to respond, not an idiot!” Mrs. Grutt was clueless once again.
Mother Yuno and Sister-in-law both clicked their tongues twice simultaneously, while Kiara looked down.
Ah, I really sympathize with Mr. Grutt and Fire Comrade who just came out.
“Kiara, what do you say?” Mr. Yuno asked Kiara, since today's incident was offensive towards his own daughter-in-law, there'd be no end to it if Kiara said it couldn't be overlooked.
“Forget it, Dad. I can see that this uncle really has it tough,” Kiara looked at Mr. Grutt, who nodded repeatedly, and then she added another sentence.
“But as for your son's situation, there's really nothing we can do.”
“You guys?” Mr. Grutt didn't understand.
“My daughter-in-law of the fourth son is a psychologist,” Mother Yuno supplemented.
“Although we'll encounter many mental illness patients, mental illness isn't the same as low IQ, so Dad, there's nothing I can do no matter how much you want me to treat him. I do sympathize with this uncle,” Kiara landed a critical hit.
Mrs. Grutt's face turned green. Wasn't this just finding a roundabout way to insult someone?
“Kiara, what are you talking about? That's not what I'm asking!” Mr. Yuno said laughingly, seeming to scold Kiara, but when translated, there were only a few words.
Nicely done, smash her!
Everyone in the Grutt Family felt annoyed, but there was nothing they could do. No one could afford to offend the Yuno Family folks, so Mr. Grutt could only pretend he didn't understand Kiara's sarcasm and kept apologizing to Mr. Yuno.
“Today's incident will be remembered by the Yuno Family. If my daughter-in-law is fine, then let's forget it, but if–” Mr. Yuno glared fiercely, scaring Mrs. Grutt into not even daring to breathe. Speaking with such an intimidating presence, the Grutt couple apologized repeatedly, and with Mr. Yuno playing good cop and Mother Yuno playing bad cop, they successfully deterred the other party. The Grutt couple kept apologizing before leaving. It was inevitable that they would have a big fight when they got home, not to mention that they had provoked the formidable Yuno Family. Heaven knows what kind of retaliation they might face in the future.
After all the outsiders had gone, only the family remained. Contrary to how sick she had appeared before, Kiara sat up from the bed with a swift movement, and Mr. Yuno, unaware of her pretense, asked with concern.
“Why are you sitting up? Lie back down quickly.”
“Well, actually, I feel much better now.”
“Zara, what do you think?” Mr. Yuno asked his sister-in-law.
“The sister-in-law should go home and rest. We just did a checkup and it's not a big issue, mainly just need observation,” the sister-in-law didn't expose Kiara's act. She knew that her father-in-law was quite serious, and words spoken to Abigail Nana could not be said to the father-in-law, as it would affect Kiara's image in Mr. Yuno's heart.
“Exactly, Old Man, this hospital isn't great. It's better to go home and rest. Let's go, everyone back home.”
Only when Mother Yuno spoke did Mr. Yuno believe. Although he believed her, he was still very displeased deep down.
What did these Grutt people think they were, daring to bully his pregnant daughter-in-law? Mr. Yuno noted this down firmly in his heart. Once Kiara had stabilized, he definitely planned to settle this account.
Kiara hadn't expected this time that the issue would become so big. She had just wanted to teach Mrs. Grutt a lesson, but it turned into a situation where both father-in-law and mother-in-law arrived. Upon returning to the Old Yates Family home with her mother-in-law and being forced to rest in bed, Kiara, with her eyes closed, couldn't fall asleep at all, cursing herself internally.
She resolved not to be so playful in the future. She even started to suspect whether Abigail Nana had done it on purpose.
No matter how jovial Mother Yuno appeared from start to finish, even making food for Kiara after they got back, Kiara still felt that her mother-in-law had punished her deliberately by making her rest in bed–Old Lady was surely cautioning her not to overdo it during pregnancy.
On closer consideration, Mother Yuno's skills were quite exceptional. She always managed to resolve issues perfectly with her seemingly exaggerated manner of joking and scolding. It seemed like a punishment for Kiara, yet Kiara couldn't bring herself to dislike it, and lying in bed, she even thought her mother-in-law was a bit adorable.
