Xiao Yuan was feigning drunkenness, but Lu Gui was genuinely drunk.
When people get drunk, they tend to spill their inner thoughts and speak the truth more easily.
That's exactly what was happening now.
When Xiao Yuan mentioned this, thinking of how tough life has been for Xiao Daya after marrying him, he too started tearing up.
"Yes, it hasn't been easy for your sister, being with me has brought her no blessings, it's my fault for being incapable, causing her and the child to suffer."
He then started crying alongside Xiao Yuan, "Brother, let me tell you the truth as your brother-in-law, it's really because I'm incapable, I can't earn money. If I had a good way to make money, I wouldn't let my wife and child suffer. As men, who wouldn't want their wives and children to live well, and the family to be harmonious? But what can I do, my mother... she has such a temper. She had it tough raising me, and I just can't oppose her outright; she's the only mother I have."
"True."
