Chapter 44: The Stubbornness of a Single Man - A Sickly Aunt's Daily Drama in the Compound

What sense can you expect from a drunk?

Zhou Qin wasn’t his usual clear-headed self. If he were sober, he would never have hurt the two children of the Su family. But at this moment, he had no sense at all. When the two Su children came at him, he fought back with punches and kicks, delivering a powerful kick that sent Su Dazhuang and Su Erzhuang sprawling to the ground!

This drove the Su family women wild. These two grandsons were everything to them!

"Da Zhuang, Er Zhuang!"

"Ahhh! Zhou Qin, I’ll kill you!" Qin Xianglian, perhaps summoning some primal strength, actually managed to break free this time!

She spun around and started clawing at Zhou Qin, hell-bent on avenging her kids!

In truth, Qin Xianglian was able to break free because Zhou Qin had to divert some of his attention to fend off Mother Su's attacks. The two women, fighting tooth and nail for their kids, wouldn’t let up. Zhou Qin, drunk and wobbly, was driven back by their relentless attack. He stumbled and hit the ground, but the women weren’t done with him. They crouched down and continued to pinch and scratch him.

"Ouch~" Zhou Qin yelped in pain.

"This..." The onlookers were somewhat stunned.

"Is Mother Su really that tough?" Lin Qing muttered.

Cen Xi, hearing her, tried to look up but was immediately pushed back down by Lin Qing.

"Don’t look, this is... uh... not exactly family-friendly," Lin Qing said, shielding Cen Xi from the scene.

Unfortunately, the other men weren’t as obedient as Cen Xi. The men in the front yard were now staring wide-eyed at the brawl.

Perhaps because crouching to fight was inconvenient, Qin Xianglian had now straddled Zhou Qin. Combined with her light clothing, the scene was somewhat inappropriate and not suitable for young eyes.

"What a shameless hussy!" Jiang Da Sao snapped.

Zhou Qin, still drunk, could only instinctively protect his face, using one hand to shield himself while trying to fend off the attacks from the two Su women with the other.

"Lian Jie, why are you hitting me?" Zhou Qin was still dazed, unable to comprehend the situation.

"I'm hitting you for hurting Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang!"

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"

The Su family women were now completely out of control. Zhou Qin, unable to endure the beating, found it hard to defend against both women at once.

Old Man Zhou seemed to have been awakened by the commotion outside. Not only was Zhou Qin drunk tonight, but Old Man Zhou had also been drinking and had passed out at home, unaware that Zhou Qin had gone out and caused a scene.

In his sleep, he suddenly heard the noise outside and woke up. After sleeping for a while, he had sobered up considerably.

When he stepped outside, the scene before him was shocking. His precious son was being beaten by the two Su women on the ground. How could he tolerate this? He only had this one son!

"Ugh, you shameless women, how dare you hit my son!"

Before anyone could react, he charged into the fray, grabbed Qin Xianglian, and threw her aside, then pushed Mother Su to the ground.

"Ouch~"

The Su women, thrown off balance, were momentarily stunned. They had been so engrossed in their attack!

The crowd gasped, "Whoa!" Old Man Zhou was no pushover either!

After helping Zhou Qin to his feet, Old Man Zhou began to berate the Su women.

"You shameless women, always coming to my house to coax my simpleton into giving you meat. What? Now that he's no use to you, you just want to toss him aside? You didn't pull any punches when hitting him, as if all the meat he gave you before was fed to dogs!"

"What's wrong with hitting him? Who told him to hit my Dazhuang and Erzhuang?" Qin Xianglian didn't feel she had done anything wrong.

"Exactly, he asked for it." Mother Su, usually so shrewd, was now only focused on teaching Zhou Qin a lesson to avenge her grandsons.

Father Zhou was boiling with rage at their attitude and slapped Zhou Qin hard on the shoulder, "You idiot, see that? This is the woman you like? You gave them so much meat before, all fed to dogs, and for such a small matter, they just wanted to kill you!"

"Hehe, Dad, I wanna marry Sister Lian!" Zhou Qin's eyes were still hazy, his mind stuck on his previous thoughts.

Father Zhou was so mad he could spit nails. Even after being beaten like this, he still wanted to marry her?

"Huff~ Huff~" Father Zhou was panting with rage.

The crowd: So, what kind of idiot son is this?

"Spit, he had it coming, and he still wants to marry my mom? Keep dreaming!" Su Dazhuang shouted from the Su family's doorway.

"Keep dreaming, keep dreaming!" Su Erzhuang waved his fist in agreement.

"Look, look, are these two brats worth all your effort?"

"Hehe!" Zhou Qin just stood there, grinning foolishly!

Father Zhou was so angry he rolled his eyes!

This scene, gotta admit, was kinda hilariously ridiculous!

"I'm telling you right here, as long as I'm alive, you can forget about marrying that widow." Father Zhou issued a stern warning, mainly directed at the Su family women.

Qin Xianglian had never even considered marrying into the Zhou family. She could get Zhou Qin to provide for her family with just a beckoning finger, why would she marry him?

After getting up from the ground, Qin Xianglian helped Mother Su to her feet. She understood Father Zhou's words were aimed at her. Still angry at Zhou Qin, she retorted, "Father Zhou, don't worry, I would never marry your son!"

"Let's go home! Who gives a hoot about his bachelor son?" Mother Su hinted.

Zhou Qin was not pleased. Seeing Qin Xianglian leave, he tried to break free from Father Zhou's grip, "Sister Lian, Sister Lian, I want to marry Sister Lian!"

"Pfft~"

"This guy is really persistent! Even after being beaten like this, he still hasn't forgotten his earlier thoughts!" Is this the determination of a single man?

"Idiot, get home now!" Father Zhou wouldn't allow him to go after the Su family women and forcefully dragged him home.

The Su family women had already taken their children back to their rooms, and Father Zhou took Zhou Qin back to the Zhou family.

And so, the drama came to an end.

"Is it over? The fight's done?"

"It's over, it's over, let's go home too!"

As the Zhou and Su families dispersed, the others also returned to their homes, but the topic of the fight was still on everyone's lips.

At the Cen family.

"Qingqing, if you ever have conflicts with others in the courtyard, don't confront them head-on! Those women may not look like much, but they can be really vicious!"

"Mm-hmm, I understand." Lin Qing had seen enough today. The women in this compound are formidable, especially those mothers. Despite Mother Su's usually gentle demeanor, she's even fiercer in a fight than her daughter-in-law!

"Cen Xi, you were saying—"

Before Lin Qing could finish speaking, Cen Xi cut her off, "Qing Qing, don't you think it's a bit strange to call me by my full name now that we're married?"

"So what should I call you?" Lin Qing felt it was indeed a bit strange after he mentioned it.

"Hmm... how about you call me Nan Ge? Nan as in north-south, my nickname is Xiao Nan."

"Hehe, Nan Ge?" she asked, laughing.

"Yup!"

"Haha! Is your brother named Xiao Bei?" Lin Qing seemed to have an idea and said.

"Yeah!" Cen Xi nodded.
