He Yulan knew her brother did not take losses well. “Don’t worry,” she said,

“Nothing happened to Su Xiu.”

He Changming’s expression took a turn for the worse. “It’s as good as a loss if nothing happened!”

“Big brother…” He Yulan could not take it anymore and wailed, “You can’t say something like that! She’s not your wife yet, so why are you always taking her side?”

“She’ll be mine; it’s only a matter of time.” Since he had set his sights on her, naturally, he would marry her in time.

He Yulan made a face, careful not to let her brother see it.

“That’s not true. Plenty of women in the village like you, but that doesn’t mean they’re all going to become your wife. You’re the best hunter in the village; it’s a shame our Trinity village does not rely on hunting for our food.”

“Yulan, would you like to say that again? I think you’re itching for a beating!” He Changming did not care if other women took a fancy to him; only Su Xiu mattered in his eyes.

“I’m sorry; I’m sorry. I won’t say it again.” He Yulan knew that she had struck a nerve. Not wanting to press her luck, she changed the topic. “By the way, what are you doing here, Big Brother? Aren’t you busy?”

“Of course, I’m busy. But didn’t you send someone to inform me that your future sister-in-law got beaten up?” He Changming could barely suppress his anger as the words left his lips.

When news arrived at Black Eagle village, he had been hunting in the mountains with a few others. He immediately rushed over upon learning what had happened. That’s how he found himself at his sister’s place.

“Future sister-in-law… I’m afraid it won’t work.” He Yulan scratched her head in distress. “Su Xiu told me that she won’t marry out of the family; instead, she’s hoping to find a live-in husband.” He Yulan eyed her older brother curiously. She still could not see why he fancied Su Xiu so much.

That was not to say she disliked Su Xiu. He Yulan felt her older brother had good taste, and she liked Su Xiu’s personality. If Su Xiu really became her sister-in-law, she would not need to worry about not getting along with her. It was just that Su Xiu was tanned, thin, and utterly ordinary. While He Yulan had recently noticed some subtle changes in Su Xiu, they weren’t great enough to counter her bland appearance.

“What?” He Changming was taken aback. “Why would she want someone like that?”

“Su Xiu hopes to follow in her older sister’s footsteps. Maybe she doesn’t want a messy relationship,” He Yulan answered after some thought. She briefly described the current situation of the Su family concerning Su Xuewu and Su Xueqiang.

Hearing this, He Changming’s brows twisted into the shape of fried dough fritters.

“You didn’t expect a situation like that either, did you?” He Yulan sighed. “I don’t know what they’re thinking. Thank goodness our family isn’t such a mess…”

“Our family is smaller.” He Changming slapped his sister upside, annoyed.

“You’re already married. Why do you still behave like a child?”

“Hey! That’s not fair. I’m only like this with you. I’m very well-behaved in front of everyone else.” It was true. She had behaved as best as she could since marrying into a household of Trinity village. She was rude and unreasonable sometimes but not always; she knew when to toe the line.

“I’m glad you know.” He Changming got to his feet. “I’m leaving.”

“Where are you going? Aren’t you going to stay for the night?” He Yulan was reluctant to see her brother leave so soon.

“No thanks.” He still had matters to attend to, but first, he would visit Su Xiu to see how she was. Afterward, he would give whoever had beaten Su Xiu a piece of his mind.

Since her brother was unwilling to stay overnight, He Yulan had no choice but to send him off.

He Changming did not let his sister send him off further than the door. Seeing the sky grow dark, he made for the village. He whistled when he reached the main road, and suddenly three burly figures stepped out from the woods.

“Brother Changming, can we go?”

The three teenagers were around seventeen or eighteen years old. They had dark skin, bright eyes, and muscular bodies, making them appear heroic.
