“What are you talking about, brat?” Su Xuewu cursed in exasperation, “Do you want to try saying that again?”

Little Sister Su stood where she was and glared at her Second Uncle fearlessly. In Little Sister Su’s heart, Su Xuewu was bad; he only knew how to bully Big Sister. Her assessment of him could not be wrong.

“Little Sister Su, Second Uncle asked you to repeat yourself, so just do it! You don’t want to disappoint your Second Uncle, do you?”

No sooner had Su Wen spoken than a peal of laughter cut through the air. Several others reacted and followed suit. At first, no one thought Su Wen’s words were funny, but that quickly changed.

At this moment, someone else appeared. It was a thin but tall young man. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he mercilessly rebuked Su Xuewu.

“I say, Su Xuewu, are you really that cheap? Are you still looking to be scolded? If you think Little Sister Su is too young and won’t have the nerve to repeat herself, let me spell it out on her behalf.”

“You… Shut up. This is a private matter. Why are you meddling in it?” Su Xuewu had never been so embarrassed before. He glared at the man who spoke and secretly made a note of this humiliation that he would repay in the future.

If it were anyone else, they might have feared Su Xuewu, the village accountant, believing he would take revenge for any perceived slight. Erlai was the exception. He was an idle bum, so what did he need to fear of the village’s accountant?

Compared to Su Xuewu, Erlai Zi was more afraid of Zhou Hengyang, who watched everything play out nearby.

Every village had its idlers who did not engage in work. Erlai Zi, whose real name was Shen Erkui, of Trinity Village, was famous. It was a fitting name for someone who had suffered scabies in his youth, resulting in the complete loss of his hair. People despised him because of his horrific looks; even his relationship with his parents and siblings was no better.

Erlai Zi relied heavily on his family to provide him with food and drink. Otherwise, he might have starved to death before turning twenty. When he was young, Su Xuewen spent a lot of money trying to treat him because he felt they had a rapport and hoped to take him as a godson. Erlai Zits parents took advantage of his circumstances to demand 500 yuan – an exorbitant sum in their humble village – before they agreed to let Su Xuewen do so.

Erlai’s parents’ behavior angered Su Xuewen, and in the end, he dropped the matter, refusing to take him in as his godson.

However, Erlai Zi had always remembered how well Su Xuewen treated him. Now that Su Xuewu was bullying Su Xuewen’s daughters, he could not stand by and watch. It had not been long since he and a few others, who had some background in engineering, returned from their job search.

Work was hard to come by. Sometimes they would work as hard as they could only to receive a pittance in remuneration.

Having just returned to the village, Erlai Zi had not considered doing much else. The first thing he had thought to do was pay Su Wen and her sisters a visit. Who could have known that he would stumble upon a scene like the one he witnessed?

Zhou Hengyang, who had been watching the events keenly, noticed when Erlai Zi appeared. Immediately, there was a change in his posture, and a dangerous aura seemed to billow from his person. It had been almost half a year since he married into the Su family, so he was well acquainted with the idiot.

He had even interacted with Erlai before. At first, he had thought Erlai was looked down upon by the villagers for his appearance and lackadaisical attitude. In memory of Su Xuewen’s kindness, Hengyang decided to extend the same to Erlai, thinking he could not be too bad a person.

But that was in the past.

Now, Zhou Hengyang stared at Erlai Zi through narrowed eyes, a threat mere moments away from being unleashed. The more he looked at Erlai Zi, the more he disliked him. Erlai Zits relationship with the Su family was complicated because of what had happened between him and Su Xuewen.

It was said that Su Xuewen had hoped Erlai Zi would become his son-in-law by marrying Su Wen when they both grew up. Sadly, he died before much of anything could come to pass..
