Chapter 902: 902 Chuan was hit
“Second brother, I have a different stance from you,” Xiao Yuchuan’s expression was cold as ice. “Qingyue is my wife, and Li Gui keeps pestering her. If I don’t beat him to the point he’s searching for his teeth all over the place, am I still a man? Of course, now Qingyue has nothing to do with you; she’s just your sister-in-law. Since our stands differ, there’s no need for you to say more, second brother.”
Xiao Yishan glanced at Su Qingyue, regret flickering through his deep eyes.
She used to be his wife, but now…
He was the one who let her down first, what else could he do?
At least Rong’er was beautiful and pure, providing him some comfort.
Su Qingyue then said, “Third brother, when I came back, I figured you had probably finished the fight and would be coming back soon, so I didn’t go to pick you up. There was no urgency, I knew you wouldn’t die.”
“I knew my wife would be worried about me,” he chuckled.
In fact, she knew that with third brother’s brains, he could already concoct some basic poisons. She had thought he would employ some sinister tactics and use poison, making him unbeatable by anyone in the village. Surprisingly, he chose to fight with brute force, proving himself a real man.
Xiao Yuchuan approached Su Qingyue and whispered, “Wife, you think I’d resort to poison if I couldn’t win the fight, don’t you?”
She turned to him with a look of surprised admiration. “You really are quite clever.”
“I don’t need to play dirty—I can knock Li Gui down straight up,” he said with confidence. “My husband’s fists are very solid. Still, I got hit, so you’ll have to avenge me, wife.”
“Now to take revenge…”
The three of them stormed over to Li Gui’s house.
The Li family’s courtyard was packed with people who all stepped aside at the sight of Su Qingyue and her companions.
A certain person was lying in the yard, swollen all over, his face so puffed up he resembled a pig, his skin a bruised purple, nearly indistinguishable from a dead person, save for the groans issuing from his mouth—one might almost think he was a corpse.
“Where is Li Gui!” Su Qingyue demanded. “Li Gui hit my husband—that means I’ll break his legs!”
The villagers present burst into an uproar.
Aunt Zhang was there too; she pointed to the swollen man on the ground. “There, that’s him.”
“That’s Li Gui?” Su Qingyue didn’t recognize him at first. “Last I saw Li Gui, he seemed quite human, how come now…”
Ding Er, who had come to watch the fuss, said, “Just now Chuan and Li Gui fought, and Chuan beat him into that sorry state. Li Cai is lying in the room, groaning in pain too. Li Cai saw Li Gui fighting with Chuan and naturally helped his real brother, but he ended up so beaten by Chuan he couldn’t stand. Li Gui got it worse; his mother came back and didn’t even recognize him, and she’s now hastily gone to look for Doctor Sun. No one knows how many bones Li Gui has broken—nobody dares to move him; just a touch and he screams like a pig being slaughtered…”
“That bad, hm…” Su Qingyue raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Yuchuan. “Didn’t you say you were the one who got beaten?”
He could only mutter quietly, “I didn’t say Li Gui didn’t get beaten too…”
Su Qingyue was originally there to avenge her third brother, but seeing Li Gui beaten so badly, she felt embarrassed to hit him any further. Turning around, she headed toward the Xiao family. Judging from the situation, if anyone needed revenge, it should be Li Gui.
“Sister Su, your third brother hits too hard,” Ding Er shouted from behind. “I used to think about making a move on you, but now I better stay on the straight and narrow—otherwise, one day Chuan might dismantle my bones too…”
“Yeah, Chuan really strikes mercilessly,” mumbled a villager softly. “That’s too heartless…”
