On my wife's birthday, I bought a cake, prepared a gift, and waited for her to come home, hoping to surprise her.

However, my wife was late coming home.

It was only after midnight that she came back, drunk, supported by her brother.

"Brother-in-law, it's my sister's birthday, she had a gathering with her classmates, got too happy and drank a lot. You have to take good care of her."

"Why did she drink so much! You didn't try to stop your sister."

Seeing my wife completely out of it, unable to stand, I couldn't help but worry.

Her brother, though, had a cheeky grin, saying gleefully, "It's sister's birthday, so happy, I couldn't spoil her fun. Anyways, today my sister treated us, but I covered the bill. Brother-in-law, can you reimburse me?"

I had never seen him be so shameless. It's his own sister's birthday, yet he wanted nothing out of pocket.

All these years, as her brother-in-law, I don't even know how much money I've spent on him.

Before we got married, I paid for his four years of university tuition. Later, after marriage, I gave her family a dowry of two hundred thousand.

Then, for her brother's wedding, I paid the down payment for their house, on top of what his parents saved. His house is even bigger and more luxurious than mine.

After his son was born, I was forced by my wife to give a gift of one hundred thousand. Plus, with all the miscellaneous stuff, my wife regularly sends him money every month.

Her brother, with a five thousand monthly job, lives more carefree than I do.

And he got married later than me, yet I have no children, while his son is already a month old.

Firstly, my wife procrastinates, not wanting kids, preferring a couple's world. Secondly, over the years, any money I saved was given by her to her brother, leaving me living tight. How could I afford to raise a child?

Now even for a meal, this shameless brother-in-law wants me to pay.

I can't help but feel sorry for my wife having such a leech for a brother, but I still transferred him the money, or else he'd ask my wife the next day.

"I say, stop just eating, drinking, and having fun. Work properly, okay? You have a child now, you're a father too!"

"Alright, alright! Thanks, brother-in-law. It's so late, I'm leaving first."

Lu Minghao doesn't listen to my advice at all. He's long tired of hearing these repeated words. Got the money, he left happily.

I even suspect that this brother-in-law wouldn't have brought my drunk wife home if he wasn't coming to ask for money.

Looking at my drunken wife, I could only take her into the bedroom to rest. My heart couldn't help but ache; it was her birthday, yet she spent it outside with classmates, not even informing me, her husband.

And I was foolishly preparing a surprise at home for her.

I placed my wife on the bed, removed her coat, and found her clothes disheveled, somewhat messy, and her body dirty and sticky. I could not help but frown. Then went on to remove her shoes, only to find her black stockings in tatters, seemingly torn apart.

Were it not for this coat covering her, I could even suspect my wife had been molested. Could their party have been that wild?

"Come on! Drink! Keep drinking! I can drink more! Whoever loses has to take off a piece of clothing! No one can cheat!"

"Okay! I'll take it off! But you guys can't tell my husband!"

"It's your turn! Drink up!"

My wife mumbled drunkenly, still immersed in the party just now. I felt uneasy hearing it. Could her birthday party really be so wild? Even taking off clothes?
