Translator: 549690339

The tense atmosphere that was about to lead to a fight was once again defused by laughter because of this remark.

“I bet you’re trying to scare people!” Xiao Yuchuan threw a punch at Shi Cai’s face, his fist hard as iron, and Shi Cai was knocked back several steps, his eye swelling into a large black circle.

“Ah!” Shi Cai screamed. He got up and began to fight with Xiao Yuchuan, punching, kicking, and violently slamming… The two were fighting more and more fiercely.

Su Qingyue stood aside watching. She knew that the benefactor’s younger brother was helping her. It’s not that she didn’t help him, but judging by the fight, the man fighting with him was no match for him. That guy was kicked and trampled by him, even his crotch was ruthlessly kicked, but he himself didn’t seem to suffer much.

“Ah ah ah…” Shi Cai wailed in pain, his screams becoming more and more miserable. He originally wanted to teach a lesson to the useless Xiao Yuchuan, but didn’t realize he could actually fight so well.

Shi Shanzao was scared. She thought that Brother Chuan would be lenient towards her older brother because of her, so she quickly ran over to stop the fight, “Brother Chuan, stop! You’ll kill him if you keep doing this!”

Seeing the situation, other people also came over to intervene, “Stop fighting, why did this even start…”

Wang Qigu said, “What’s going on with Chuan? Now he has a thing for hitting people?”

Aunt Zhang said, “Can’t blame Chuan, though. Didn’t you see? Shi Cai started it by saying that the Xiao Family’s wife stinks and deliberately tried to stir up trouble. He deserves to be beaten…”

A few men stepped in to separate the two.

Seeing that Shi Cai was lying on the ground and couldn’t get up, Xiao Yuchuan himself didn’t have any issues, so to avoid being framed, he quickly pretended to be injured, “Ouch! It hurts so much! I must have a broken bone somewhere…” He screamed louder than Shi Cai.

“Are you okay, Chuan?” Aunt Zhang asked.

“Of course not! My whole body hurts…” Xiao Yuchuan grimaced and looked at his wife, “Wife, I was injured defending you. You’d better take extra good care of me later!”

Su Qingyue was standing on his side and didn’t know what he said. She tilted her head, saw him groaning in pain, and dragged him away.

The villagers only gossiped behind their backs and didn’t stop them.

“Didn’t they say Chuan faints easily? Didn’t expect him to be quite good at fighting.” Someone said.

“Isn’t that right? Chuan never used to fight with the villagers before. He fought with Zhao Shugen this morning, and now he knocked down Shi Cai. He doesn’t look that weak…” Someone chimed in.

“He does seem quite strong. His swollen face will look quite handsome once the swelling goes down… It’s a shame he married such an ugly wife…”

“It’s already good enough that the Xiao Family’s wife stayed. No matter how handsome Chuan is, the Xiao Family also has a crippled fourth son. The Xiao Family’s second son is also scary enough. What’s the use of Chuan being handsome? The Xiao Family doesn’t have any land or property; which girl would be willing to marry into their family?”

Someone suggested, “In my opinion, Chuan’s ugly wife still needs to be sold.

She can be sold for seventeen taels. After a few years, save some more money until it’s thirty taels, and then buy a normal one…”

“That’s the idea…”

Shi Shanzao listened to the villagers’ words, her face turning pale. She helped her older brother, Shi Cai, who was constantly wailing in pain, and went back to their own house.

Xiao Yuchuan was dragged by Su Qingyue, feeling her warm little hand. The warmth seemed to have seeped into his heart, making everything doubly sweet. He decided that in the future, he would beat up anyone who bothered his wife..
