074 Smashing small people, affairs in the Liu family

  One day she will also have an adorable child?

  An Wen felt that once this idea was born, it would be like a prairie fire, unstoppable. What's even stranger and more unexpected is that when she thought of the child, the small, tender face that flashed through her mind was 90% similar to Su San. Suddenly, she was startled by her own thoughts.

  What's wrong with her? Why does she think that future children will definitely be with Su Sansheng?

  She suddenly felt her face heat up, and she quickly reached out to gently pat her own face, trying to calm herself down. She attributed all her wild thoughts to Su San's recent abnormal behavior. It was all Su San's fault, it was all because of his inexplicable actions recently. One moment he was writing her a love letter, the next he was sending her gifts. It was precisely because of these things that she had been having such wild and fanciful thoughts.

  Yes, all of these are Su San's fault, An Yan found a reasonable excuse for herself.

  Although it seems like a reasonable excuse, An Xun still feels that things are very messy in her heart.

  That chaos, that inexplicable temperature, that solid chest, those scorching and bewildering eyes, that intense kiss, all continuously impacting her sensitive nerves at this moment.

  Unconsciously, she quickened her pace and soon returned to the White's residence.

  The Bai family's courtyard was quiet, and An Yan didn't think much of it at the time. She hastily ran back to her room alone. She took off her shoes, sat on the bed with her knees tucked in, trying to calm herself down, but instead felt even more annoyed. At that moment when she was feeling anxious and distracted, the corner of her eye caught sight of the small iron wooden doll placed quietly at the head of the bed. She reached out and picked it up, placing the small wooden doll on her palm.

  Looking at his majestic momentum, his serious eyebrows and eyes, he thought of his absurd argument again yesterday night, actually daring to let himself learn the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, was he taking the wrong medicine?

  The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. An Wen grasped the small iron wooden man in her hand and slammed it onto the bed board with a loud bang.

  After being smashed, the huge sound of the iron wood hitting the bed board shocked her back to her senses. An Yan hastily picked up the small iron wood man to check on it and found that it was unharmed, without a single scratch. Only then did she put her mind at ease. After completing these actions, she finally came to her senses and realized that she had been overly worried earlier - after all, it was just a small iron wood man.

  Moreover, the iron was extremely hard and not easily damaged. Thinking this way, she once again stretched out her hand to gently stroke the small iron figure, feeling the tactile outline under her hands, and a corner of her heart throbbed violently. This feeling was very strange, making her feel uneasy and frightened.

  This damn wooden stake, so conservative and old-fashioned, with a big manly attitude, and not understanding romance, how could he possibly have feelings for me?

  An Yan muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Su San had a lot of shortcomings. Except for his physical strength, everything else was not good enough. He couldn't even say romantic words and was very rough. Speaking of this, An Yan suddenly remembered the last time he choked, and as a result, Su San came over to help him catch his breath, but ended up slapping him so hard that it hurt. Even now, thinking about it still made his back ache a bit.

  Hmph, not gentle at all.

  An Yan suddenly found another shortcoming of Su San. Thinking about it, she felt very wise and didn't fall for him too quickly. No wonder he couldn't find a wife, probably because his personality scared them off. Although ancient men were more conservative, they weren't as rigid as him. Every day, he would talk about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, if you really became his daughter-in-law, you'd have to carry a sign with those words on your back. Thinking about it, An Yan found that image both infuriating and hilarious.

  As she thought about it, her heart suddenly became annoyed again. For a moment, the anger in her heart had nowhere to vent, so she picked up the small wooden doll in her hand and slammed it onto the bed.

  Suddenly, the room was filled with the sound of banging on beds.

  At first, An Yan was just casually banging away, but as he continued to bang, he found it quite fun. So, An Yan happily held the small iron mallet and made Xiao Su's head face downwards, starting another rhythmic banging on the bedboard.

  On the other side, after An Yan left, Su San continued to dig as before. Bai Ping and Bai An also stopped arguing and simply stood there watching Su San work.

  Su San, because An Yan was not there, had some thoughts and anxiety on his mind, so he worked even faster, like a gust of wind. After Su San finished tilling the land of one mu, he didn't even look at the other seven mu, shouldered his hoe, turned around and said to Bai Ping and Bai An brothers: "Let's go back, we'll come again tomorrow."

  Having finished speaking, he didn't wait for the two people's reaction and just walked ahead in big strides.

  The two brothers, Bai Ping and Bai An, looked at each other in dismay, then followed behind, occasionally turning their heads to glance back at the pitiful sight of the one mu of land. Digging three feet into the ground wouldn't be an exaggeration - it seemed like this year would have a bumper harvest, but they had never seen anyone till the soil so thoroughly before.

  Su San walked quickly in the front, not paying attention to his two brothers behind him. At this time, he was thinking of the little woman and his footsteps were getting faster and faster. Behind him, Bai Ping and Bai An, who had been barely able to keep up, soon lost sight of Su San's figure.

  When he saw the familiar courtyard, Su San's face couldn't help but slowly soften and reveal a joyful smile. He casually leaned his hoe against the corner of the wall and then headed in the direction of him and An Yan.

  He hadn't even approached yet, but he could already hear the loud banging sounds. He furrowed his brow in puzzlement, paused for a moment, carefully identified the direction of the sound, and found that it was actually coming from his and An Yan's room. Suddenly, his footsteps quickened, and he arrived at the door in just three or two strides.

  He suddenly pushed open the door of the room, and the scene inside was also completely imprinted in his eyes.

  An didn't expect Su San to come back at this time, and he was still holding the small wooden man. At this moment, Su San's head was knocking against the bed board, and the sound of thumping was still echoing in his ears.

  Seeing this scene, Su San only felt his forehead jumping violently, and his brain hurt. Looking at the small wooden man's head being knocked on the bed like that, as well as the huge sound just now that could be heard from a distance, Su San felt his scalp numb. This scene was completely different from what he had imagined. What he had imagined was An Yan putting this little iron man similar to him in her arms, with gentle eyes and a smiling face, gently stroking it.

  It would never be so rough, slamming Xiao Tieren heavily on the bed board, as if it had a vendetta against Xiao Tieren.

  An Yan saw Su San come in like this, looked down at his own behavior, and felt a bit embarrassed. But thinking again, wasn't Su San giving him this thing to make amends? Wasn't it so that he could vent his anger on this little iron man like punching a sandbag? Thinking this way, An Yan smiled sweetly at Su San, and continued to smash the little iron man with great force, showing how very satisfied he was.

  Thank you for your gift, I'm very satisfied. The hardness and workmanship, I like them both very much.

  When Su San heard An Yan's words, he felt like a thunderbolt on a clear day, with thunder rolling in.

  The gift he gave was in the hope that the little woman could treat it as a token of love, holding it gently in her arms and hands, absolutely not treating it cruelly like this.

  An Yan didn't understand Su San's expression and continued to hammer away, having a peculiar fondness for the loud and heavy sound.

  At this moment, Su San finally knew what it meant to be unbearable to look at. He turned his head away and didn't dare to look at the cruel scene again. I'll go out for a while.

  Su San's voice, if listened carefully, still had a slight tremble. He was completely frightened by An Yan's brutal actions...

  She didn't think much of it and didn't notice Su San's impropriety. After Su San left, she also stopped, afraid of breaking the small thing.

  Su San ran out of the White's house and rushed to the county, he needed someone to guide him at this moment, and in this strange place, only Zhang Jun could undertake this task.

  This time was more accurate, as it was almost evening and Zhang Jun was no longer sleeping. Zhang Jun himself was sitting at the table, fiddling with a mechanism on the table.

  Su San suddenly kicked the door open with a loud bang and strode in. Zhang Jun looked up, his small hands shaking as he nearly disarmed the mechanism, which would now have to be reset.

  Big brother, is someone trying to kill you?

  Nothing.

  Why are you looking so fierce and murderous, your face is as black as if it could drip water!

  Boss, come over and have some tea, calm down.

  Although I don't know what happened, from the strong aura emanating from my eldest brother's body, it can be seen that his emotions are extremely unstable at this moment, as if a storm is brewing.

  Su San suddenly sat down on the stool, picked up the cup from the table and took a sip of tea, and the inexplicable anger in his heart subsided a little. He slammed the quilt down with a bang, almost scaring Zhang Jun to fall to the ground.

  Big brother...

  Zhang Jun immediately let out a mournful cry, filled with resentment and accusation.

  As soon as Zhang Jun appeared in this manner, Su San's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but think that if one day the little woman also showed him such an expression, it would be incredibly exciting. If the little woman really looked at him with those pitiful and accusing yet affectionate eyes, he would definitely hold her tightly in his arms and softly comfort her.

  Su San's tone was clearly one of unfulfilled desire, and the intense gaze made Zhang Jun feel a chill run down his spine. He hastily spoke up: "Boss, what brings you here today? Is there something on your mind?"

  As soon as he heard this, Su San's rationality returned a bit, and he said with some annoyance: Didn't I give her a gift the other day?

  Right! You're quite pleased with yourself, saying that your wife really likes it.

  When Zhang Jun said this, Su San couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he secretly wondered if he had been very pleased with himself at the time.

  Yes, she really liked it at the time, and saw me still smiling gently at me, gratefully saying thank you. At that time, I was delighted by her smile.

  It's obvious...

  Zhang Jun couldn't bear to look at his eldest brother, who had become so fussy and anxious over a woman. He was clearly a grown man and a cold-faced general, yet he had been reduced to such a state. As Zhang Jun thought this, he couldn't help but recall the various things he had seen while following his eldest brother in recent days. His sister-in-law's calm and composed demeanor, her sharp tongue that was as beautiful as a lotus flower, each word a pearl, yet so different from others.

  At this moment, Zhang Jun's heart was inexplicably looking forward to the scene of Lao Da and Da Sao finally becoming a couple. Especially, what their future children would be like. If they were like Da Sao, they would definitely be likable. If they were like Lao Da, then they would be hopeless...

  Su San didn't know that Zhang Jue, that big-brained guy, had already imagined it to be infinitely far away. At this moment, he was frowning and telling the story, which was about a small iron man made of iron wood, carved with great care by me, completely in my likeness, at least similar in several ways. What I hoped for was that she could love and take care of the little iron man as much as she loved and took care of me.

  Big brother, did you give your wife a small gift like yours?

  Zhang Jun felt a bit tongue-tied, it was not that he didn't want to give the small gift to the other party, but rather the other party hadn't asked for it. He just sent over a small gift similar to his own, this feeling, why did it feel so strange?

  Token of affection, let her remember me every moment.

  ……

  I'm particularly careful, full of momentum, with a stern face, 90% like me.

  ……

  Never seen anyone send gifts to others with such a majestic attitude, it's like the father-in-law giving gifts to his daughter-in-law, making people remember the majesty of the head of the family. No wonder, the eldest sister doesn't treat that little old man well...

  But today I saw her smashing that little man at home, and at that time, I felt my scalp tingling.

  Su San was still feeling a lingering fear, thinking that her heart had been tossed about by the young woman, one moment lifted high and the next dropped down, unable to settle, suspended in mid-air suffering endless torment.

  The elder sister-in-law is indeed different from others.

  Zhang Jun listened and couldn't help but praise, "Only such a special sister-in-law can match this cold-faced eldest brother." Thinking back to the old eldest brother, he was like a big ice cube, his expression wouldn't change in ten thousand years. Now it's different, every day his facial expressions are colorful and varied, just like a normal man.

  Indeed.

  As he said this, Su San's normally cold eyes also revealed a hint of smile, and in his mind, he saw the little woman's bright and cheerful eyebrows, which softened his entire heart.

  Don't be sad, boss. After all, you gave her a wooden doll, it's durable. Since your sister-in-law likes it, just let her play with it. Besides, didn't you also give another gift to your sister-in-law?

  Su San's eyebrows were slightly furrowed when he first heard the first half of the sentence, but his expression relaxed when he heard the second half.

  This time she really likes it, I can feel it, very strongly.

  That day, An's surprised expression was still vivid in his mind, causing him to curve the corners of his mouth.

  Yes, boss, so you need to continue working hard. The revolution has not yet succeeded, boss still needs to work hard.

  Zhang Jun patted Su San's shoulder a few times, encouraging him with all his might. After hearing this, Su San suddenly felt much more comfortable in his heart, and his original annoyance disappeared.

  It's time for dinner, I'm going back.

  Su San said so and quickly got up and left.

  Zhang Jun stared blankly at this family-oriented man, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Indeed, women are truly amazing. They can actually transform the former gang leader who only knew how to wield a knife into a considerate husband who knows to return home on time for meals. It's really incredible.

  Su San walked home with a light step. As he walked, he suddenly slapped his own head in regret. He silently scolded himself for having a bad memory, and should have discussed the next step with Zhang Jun earlier. His pursuit of his wife couldn't stop, he had to capture the heart of the young woman as soon as possible. Otherwise, spring was approaching, and their child still hadn't been conceived yet.

  When Su San arrived at the White House, he found it strange that today's White House was unusually quiet.

  He had just pushed the door and entered, when he saw Wang Shi, Bai Shi, and the two brothers, Bai Ping and Bai An, standing in the courtyard. They heard the sound of the door being pushed open and turned their heads together, but when they saw it was Su San, they immediately turned their heads back with tension.

  What is this?

  At this time, shouldn't we be in the main room preparing to eat? What's going on, everyone is standing in the courtyard. However, Su San soon also discovered that something was off, obviously a few people were missing. Liu Shi and Xiu Niang, as well as Pang Ya and Xiao Qing Ge were all not there.

  We are waiting for Big Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law.

  An Yan glanced at Su San and explained in a low voice. When she came back, she felt that the White family was too quiet, but she didn't think much of it at the time.

  Su San walked slowly to An Yan's side, standing quietly beside him. Although he didn't say any comforting words, An Yan somehow felt that Su San's presence was a silent comfort and support in itself.

  Several people were pacing back and forth in the courtyard, anxiously watching Wang Shi. An Yan hurried over to comfort her, saying: "Perhaps Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law met some acquaintances and were pulled away to help with something. Maybe they just forgot to come back and say a word for the time being, Aunt shouldn't worry."

  No way, those two are usually so obedient and take good care of the house. They never used to be like this before, something must have happened.

  Wang was still very uneasy, and his hands were subconsciously rubbing together.

  Just a moment, the child is gone. I myself feel that my words cannot even convince myself. The Lyu family and Xiūniáng are the most understanding and considerate people, how could they possibly not return to explain at this late hour?

  Has something really happened?

  At the thought of that possibility, An's whole body involuntarily shuddered with a chill. This blow was not something the Bai family could withstand. She turned her head to look at Bai Ping and Bai An, only to find them both hanging their heads in shame, but the aura of despair surrounding them was still palpable. It was hard to imagine how the Bai family, who had barely managed to walk out of their previous misfortune, would react if they were to receive another piece of bad news.

  For some unknown reason, the various thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind made An Yan, who was usually very calm, feel uneasy as well.

  Su San saw Xiao Nü Ren's tense appearance and subconsciously reached out to hold her hand, wanting to comfort her.

  An Yan Zheng was in a hurry, when she suddenly felt her small hand being enveloped by Su San's large hand. She lowered her eyes to look and saw Su San's wheat-colored large hand completely covering her own slender white small hand. This striking contrast somehow looked harmonious and peaceful.

  Su San's large dry and thick hands wrapped around hers, making her feel very at ease. The sudden panic and annoyance in her heart slowly calmed down.

  I seem to have heard hurried footsteps rushing over this way, are they back?

  Everyone listened intently and indeed heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming this way, and they all went out to take a look.

  As expected, a familiar figure was seen quickly running towards this direction. The expression on Bai An's face had just relaxed, but after a while, it became anxious again.

  Xiu Niang rushed over with Xiao Qing Ge, and as soon as she arrived, she explained while panting: This afternoon, Dajie's relatives from her hometown came to visit, saying that something big had happened at home and they seemed to be in a hurry. I saw Dajie was anxious, and since you two were nowhere to be found, I thought of accompanying her back home to take a look. Who knew it would delay until now? I hurried back to report to you all.

  Upon hearing Hsiu Niang's words, Pai Ping's heart tightened and he anxiously asked: "What happened? What's going on with Ch'i Niang?"

  Liu's nickname was Qiuniang, because she had six older sisters and a younger brother.

  Bai An walked over, carefully carrying Little Qing away, and Xiu Niang finally had a chance to catch her breath. After her breathing became more stable, she began to speak: Eldest Sister's third sister went to work on the mountain some time ago and accidentally fell down, breaking her leg. She was treated for a month, but because it wasn't properly healed, now she walks with a limp. Her husband's family is very dissatisfied, and finally today they wrote a divorce letter and sent Third Sister back home. And Eldest Sister's third sister, Liu San Niang, has a fiery personality; as soon as she received this news, she immediately jumped into the river. Fortunately, she was discovered early and rescued. Now, the situation at Eldest Sister's house is chaotic, with some people saying they want to take revenge and others saying they should endure humiliation and swallow their anger. In short, it's a complete mess.

  After hearing what Xiūniáng said, everyone couldn't help but take a cold breath. They never expected that in just a short while, such a big thing would happen at Dàjiě's house.

  Liu San Niang's husband's family is quite influential?

  After listening to Xiū Niáng's words, he immediately caught the four words "enduring humiliation and injustice".

  Upon hearing this, Xiūniáng's expression turned gloomy and she spoke with a hint of resentment: "Sān Niáng's wealthy family is from a large village called Nánshān Village, which is very close to Bái Shuǐ County. Her husband became a high-ranking scholar after the last imperial examination, bringing glory to their family. This should have been a good thing, but somehow that Sān Niáng's scholar husband got entangled with the younger sister of the county magistrate of Bái Shuǐ County, leading to all these subsequent events."

  This is simply conscienceless.

  Mr. Wang's fingers trembled with rage as he spoke.

  Bai seemed to recall his own experience, and his eyes dimmed, with a sorrowful expression.

  What's so special about the county magistrate's sister?

  There must be some problem or hidden disease, otherwise, who would look down on a poor scholar who has already married?
