Chapter 46: It’s Like the Bandits Have Entered the Village
byChapter 46: It’s Like the Bandits Have Entered the Village
Liu Ge'er and Gui Ge'er had saved Luo Qiong Niu's life along with Xingxing before. Since then, whenever they encountered each other in the village, although there was still some tension, at least they didn’t get into any more conflicts.
Especially Xingxing; last time, Luo Qiong Niu gave her candy, and she felt that this "Brother Luo" must be a good person!
Yes, giving her candy and not fighting with her own brother made Luo Qiong Niu's status in Xingxing's heart skyrocket—he became Brother Luo!
When Xingxing heard Luo Qiong Niu say someone was causing trouble at home, she panicked, shook the water off her little hands, and hurried to go back: "No, Grandma is still at home. Xingxing needs to go back and help Grandma!"
Luo Qiong Niu: "..."
He drew a sharp breath.
A three-year-old girl with tiny braids, adorned with delicate and cute little flowers, shouting that she wanted to go home to help her grandma—although Luo Qiong Niu's face showed no emotion, he almost fainted from cuteness!
Why did those stinky boys from the Yu family have such an adorable sister, while his own stinky sister only stuck her feet in his mouth when she slept!
At such a young age, Luo Qiong Niu already felt the unfairness of life deeply.
Liu Ge'er grabbed the anxious Xingxing by the hand, glanced at Luo Qiong Niu, and despite his scrutiny, thanked him: "Thank you for telling us. Do you know who it is?"
Receiving this thank you, Luo Qiong Niu was both surprised and a bit uncomfortable.
He coughed: "It sounds like they’re surnamed Su..."
Surnamed Su?
Liu Ge'er and Gui Ge'er realized something and looked at Ju Ge'er.
Ju Ge'er's maternal family wasn't surnamed Su, was it?
Was it a coincidence, or...?
Ju Ge'er and Xingxing, being younger, were still a bit confused.
"Alright, we got it. Thanks." Liu Ge'er thanked him again and told Xingxing and Ju Ge'er, "Don’t run too fast, or you might fall."
Xingxing and Ju Ge'er obediently said, "Okay."
Although she was very worried, she knew her older brother understood more than she did, so there must be a reason for his advice!
Liu Ge'er gave Gui Ge'er a meaningful look.
Gui Ge'er understood and ran off quickly.
Liu Ge'er then held Xingxing's hand with his left and Ju Ge'er's with his right, walking steadily towards home.
Luo Qiong Niu watched their backs and clicked his tongue, thinking that Yu Yongliu, though young, seemed to have a thousand tricks up his sleeve!
Halfway there, Gui Ge'er had scouted ahead and rushed back, panting but eager to report to Liu Ge'er: "Third Brother, I sneaked a peek. It seems they are indeed from the Su family. I heard Third Aunt call the woman 'sister-in-law,' and there's a little one called Xiaobao."
Ju Ge'er, upon hearing this, finally realized what was happening and was shocked: "It’s my aunt and Su Xiaobao?!"
Hearing this, Liu Ge'er was relieved and waved them on: "Let’s go back and see."
...
Qian Shi and Su Xiaobao were unexpected visitors.
When they arrived, Bai Xiaofeng was in the courtyard, using a warm egg wrapped in a cloth to soothe the bruise on Su Rouer's forehead.
Su Rouer hissed in pain, drawing a sharp breath.
"Since you feel the pain, be more careful next time..." Bai Xiaofeng gently rolled the warm egg over Su Rouer's forehead, muttering, "Luckily, there’s no bleeding. If there were, it would have disfigured you, and you’re still young, you wouldn’t have been able to bear it..."
Su Rouer didn’t know what to say.
"Oh! What’s going on here? Little Sister, are they bullying you?"
The visitor didn’t knock but barged through the Yu family’s gate, sneering and looking around with disdain, tutting as if finding the place utterly shabby.
Bai Xiaofeng hadn’t seen Qian Shi before and was wondering who she was when she heard Su Rouer exclaim "sister-in-law" in surprise.
Ah. Bai Xiaofeng clicked her tongue inwardly, understanding.
So this woman was Su Rouer’s sister-in-law from her natal family.
Qian Shi haughtily acknowledged with a "hmm," leading a six- or seven-year-old boy, and with a look of disdain, headed towards the main house, asking Su Rouer in a condescending tone, "Where’s your mother-in-law? I’m here to see her... In the main house, right?"
Her tone was dismissive, and without waiting for Su Rouer’s answer, she started to lead the boy towards the main house.
Bai Xiaofeng was first shocked, then angry!
This person clearly had no manners and obviously didn’t respect their family, acting so arrogantly!
Bai Xiaofeng, known for her fiery temper, stepped forward to block Qian Shi, sneering coldly: "Oh, you’re the Su relatives from Third Sister-in-law’s side, right? Those who know would say you’re visiting relatives. Those who don’t would think you’re some bandits coming to rob the house!"
Qian Shi was furious, raising her voice: "Who are you?!"
Su Rouer was anxious, trying to pull both sides: "Sister-in-law... Second Sister-in-law..."
But the two were like roosters ready to fight, neither backing down.
Bai Xiaofeng stood tall, sneering: "I’m the second sister-in-law of the third daughter-in-law! I heard the third daughter-in-law call you sister-in-law, so you must be from the Su family. I say, Sister, how come you’re entering our village like a bandit?"
Qian Shi, used to being passive-aggressive, had never met someone like Bai Xiaofeng who directly pointed fingers and cursed!
"You—you—"
Mrs. Qian took a deep breath and scolded Bai Xiaofeng: "What a shrew! I always said that from such a filthy place, what good could come? They're all coarse country women!"
Bai Xiaofeng was enraged upon hearing this. She had never liked Mrs. Qian, and now that Mrs. Qian was pointing her nose at her and cursing, how could she bear it? She lunged forward to tear at Mrs. Qian: "I'll rip your mouth apart—"
"Stop it!"
The commotion in the courtyard naturally caught Wei Pozi's attention. When she came out, she saw her second daughter-in-law rolling up her sleeves, ready to fight. She frowned and shouted, "What are you doing!"
Seeing Wei Pozi emerge, Bai Xiaofeng hurriedly went to complain: "Mother, this woman has no manners. She insulted our place as filthy and called us coarse country women."
Wei Pozi's frown deepened as she glanced at Mrs. Qian and then at the boy she was holding by the hand. She said coolly, "Isn't this the Su family? Second daughter-in-law, I think you must have a problem with your ears. The Su family is from the county; why would they say something so demeaning?"
