From then on, a legend circulated in the streets - the entire life of the sixth young master of the Xiang family was worth only his elder brother's leg! Therefore, he was given the nickname Cui Yitui. Determined to turn the tables and redeem his dignity, Sixth Master Cui embarked on a hilarious and absurd marital drama. Scene 1: A certain man, on the verge of collapse, asked, "Why did you marry me in the first place?" A certain woman replied, "In this world, there are only two kinds of men I would marry. One who surpasses me in ability and makes me willingly submit to him, and the other who is pleasing to the eyes and makes me happily support him just by looking at him." "Which kind do I belong to?" "The second kind." ... "Ah, I can't take it anymore! I want a divorce! A divorce!" Scene 2: "Yitui, your wife is almost seduced by other men. Are you sure you can still eat?" His friend advised him earnestly, gesturing towards the other side of the room where a certain woman was happily chatting with a group of men. "Great! If she's with someone else, we can just divorce!" Sixth Master Cui nonchalantly threw a handful of melon seeds into his mouth. "You'll regret it!" His friend lamented with frustration. Just as he finished speaking, Sixth Master Cui burst into tears, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Help, my leg cramped up!" In the next moment, Mu Jiaojiao broke through the crowd and, while scolding angrily, gently massaged his calf. "Keep eating! You can eat as much as you want, you greedy dog! I can't be bothered with you!" "Wuwuwu, can't I be forgiven for making a mistake?" ... Sixth Lord Cui, can you please stop being so shameless?
