“Yes, Xiuxiu is right.” “Big sister, you haven’t called me Xiuxiu for a long time.”
“Then what did I call you?”
“Call me Su Xiu! You call me by my full name quite often, but occasionally call me Ah Xiu.”
As soon as Su Xiu finished speaking, the courtyard fell into a strange silence. Su Qing and Zhou Hengyang looked at each other tacitly, but neither of them spoke.
Su Wen started keeping a distance from Zhou Hengyang, an invisible gap. Zhou Hengyang was no longer as uncontrolled as he was at the door in the afternoon. He resembled a silent cheetah ready to attack, dangerous and lethal.
In the silence, some clues were discernible.
He was not smiling, and his eyes held an incomprehensible depth.
Just as they were having dinner, Su Xueqiang arrived. The moment he came in, he assumed the role of a master, directing Su Xiu to do this and that, asking her to move a chair and pour water.
When Su Xiu brought the water over, Su Xueqiang drank it in one gulp and spat it out.
“Little Wen, your third uncle came to visit you, and you’re giving me plain water?”
Su Wen smiled coldly. “What else? What should I give you to drink, Third
Uncle? Dichlorvos or paraquat?”
Su Xueqiang’s face turned red. He stood up guiltily and threw the cup on the ground. “You b*stard, how can you talk to your elders like this? I’m your third uncle. If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you are getting more ignorant and bold.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to hit Su Wen.
Zhou Hengyang suddenly made a move, grabbing Su Xueqiang’s arm. He leaned back, forcing Su Xueqiang to kneel on the ground.
He grimaced in pain.
“It hurts, it hurts, let go of me.” A wise man would not fight when the odds were against him. Su Xueqiang immediately tried to please and behave well. “Little Wen, quickly ask your husband to let go. This is all a misunderstanding.
I just wanted to scratch an itch. We’re all family. We should help each other. Little Wen, hurry, it’s not good to let others know.”
Su Wen was a little slow before she reacted. She smiled at Zhou Hengyang and said, “Hengyang, let go!”
Only then did Zhou Hengyang reluctantly let go.
As soon as Su Xueqiang regained his freedom, he immediately got up from the ground. A trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. He sneered in his heart. “I’ll just endure it for now. Soon, these people will all be in trouble. Su Wen, this reckless, disloyal, and unfilial girl, will become a man’s plaything.”
Thinking about it, Su Xueqiang felt happy. He felt that he had taken revenge for the humiliation just now.
“Little Wen, I am here today to look for you.”
“Third Uncle, tell me.” Su Wen pointed at the chair that Su Xueqiang was sitting on. “Sit down and talk. Don’t stand up!”
“I… It’s okay! I’m fine standing. My bones are sore from sitting too much.”
The chair was too close to Zhou Hengyang, so he didn’t have the guts to sit there. He wished he could stay as far away as possible.
“Then forget it. Third Uncle, don’t go out and say that your niece doesn’t respect her elders.”
“How could that be? Who doesn’t know that you know manners the best?” Su Xueqiang gritted his teeth and smiled. He had gone all out for the sake of the plan. How could he lower himself and speak well of a young girl?
“Cough cough!” Su Xueqiang coughed and gathered his emotions. He tried his best to put on the posture of an elder and deliberately used a serious tone to intimidate Su Wen.
“Little Wen, I came to look for you today to remind you. Did you borrow money from loan sharks to gain face and enjoy yourself? I am disappointed. Now, those people who want their debts have come to me..”
