He slapped her again, âWill you get lost or not!â
âI wonât, I wonât!â She didnât care about her swollen face, clinging to him, âIâm yours anyway, whether you want me or not, Iâll stick to you!â
âYouâ¦â He threw a few punches at her.
She wouldnât let go, and he forcibly pulled her away, âIf you wonât go, I will!â
Then, picking up the hoe, he hurried towards the village.
Liu Xianglian didnât pick up her clothes, and immediately chased after him, âBrother Chuan, wait for me!â
Xiao Yuchuan was annoyed by her actions. If others saw her like this, it would be a disaster!
Turning a corner, he spotted some bushes by the mountain side and quickly hid behind them. Liu Xianglian thought he had gone forward, so she hurried to catch up.
Chasing without picking up her clothes, she had originally planned to show the villagers her disheveled clothes while with Xiao YuChuan, pinning it on him that she had already become his woman but she couldnât find him!
Far away, she saw a few men and women carrying hoes coming out of the village.@@novelbin@@
She weighed her options and decided not to blame it on something that didnât happen. In case he denied it, no one would believe her, and she couldnât bear the humiliation. Biting her teeth, she turned back, picked up her clothes from the field, put them on, and walked towards home, covering herself up.
Xiao Yuchuan saw her turn back and knew she would pass by again, so he didnât move. He only came out from behind the bushes after she had walked away, squinting his eyes as he watched her go.
From the way she dared to chase him out without even putting on her clothes, it was obvious that she wanted the villagers to see and think that he and she had something going on.
It seemed that this woman had no shame in pinning herself on him.
Xiao Yuchuan returned to hoeing the fields.
He knew in his heart that Liu Xianglian would still find a chance to cling to him when it was only two of them.
In the evening, when he returned home with the hoe, Liu Laoshi, Liu Zhengshi, and Liu Xianglian, the three of them, were in the courtyard of the Xiao Familyâs new residence.
Many villagers were standing in and outside the courtyard, watching and waiting.
Everyone smiled when they saw him, some faces showing schadenfreude, while others had ambiguous expressions, as if he had just picked up a bargain.
âChuan, youâre finally back.â Ding Er from the village laughed, âYour sweetheart has been waiting for you all afternoon.â
âWhat sweetheart, stop talking nonsense!â He coldly scolded.
Ding Er pointed to Liu Xianglian in the courtyard, âSheâs come to find you, and you wonât admit it?â
Liu Xianglianâs face was swollen like a pigâs head, as she cried and sobbed on Liu Motherâs shoulder.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuchuan asked indifferently, âWhatâs going on?â
Xiao Yishan, Xiao Qinghe, and Su Qingyue were all at home. Xiao Yishan said, âThird brother, Liu Xianglian says you wanted to force yourself on her and you hit her when she refused.â
Ding Er came forward to speak up for justice again, âChuan, this is where youâre wrong. Everyone in the village knows that Liu Xianglian likes you. If you like her, just give her betrothal gifts and marry her. Isnât Liu Motherâs asking price just sixty taels for betrothal gifts? For the Xiao Family nowadays, sixty taels is just a small amount.â He then turned to Su Qingyue, âWife of the Xiao Family, itâs not good for you as a woman to monopolize three men. Why not let Chuan marry another wife?â
Su Qingyue nodded, âI donât mind whatever my third brother decides.â
The three people from the Liu Family looked surprised. They thought Su Qingyue would vehemently refuse, but they didnât expect her to agree so readily.
Even the three Xiao brothers couldnât believe their eyes.
The astonishment was written all over the faces of the villagers present as well.
