“Cough, cough…”

“Big Sister! ”

Su Xiu and Su Qing were so frightened by Su Wen’s words that one coughed violently, and the other did not dare to look Zhou Hengyang in the eye. The two of them had always known their eldest sister was bold. Otherwise, she would not have pursued Zhao Jiangang despite marrying Zhou Hengyang.

However, they did not expect her to be so bold.

Could such words be said without forethought?

It was not just Su Xiu and Su Qing whose minds had gone blank; even Zhou Hengyang was stunned by Su Wen’s declaration. It was only for a second, but his expression froze, and it took a concerted effort of will to school his emotions. Zhou Hengyang was glad no one had seen him slip.

“What’s wrong?” Su Wen was confused. “Did I say something wrong?”

“No!” Zhou Hengyang restrained himself from looking away and nodded seriously. “I’ll listen to you.”

As a live-in son-in-law, it was his duty and responsibility to listen to the female head of the household. Zhou Hengyang would never s.h.i.+rk his responsibility. On the contrary, he was happy that Su Wen would entrust this matter to him.

Su Wen shot him an appreciative look and rose to her feet. “Then it’s settled. I’m going to bed. Don’t just stand around like fools! Pack up and get ready for bed!”

There was no internet, electricity, or nightlife in the countryside. What else could they do but sleep at the end of the day? Wouldn’t leaving the candles burning for no reason be a waste? Wasn’t that something Su Xiu was constantly harping about?

Su Wen returned to her room to sleep ahead of everyone else. She lay on her bed and rolled around in glee.

Su Wen suddenly found their village chief, Li Youcai, more pleasing to the eye.

She had never thought he would call Zhou Hengyang and ask him to return and help her. It had been her greatest and most longstanding desire to patch up the relations.h.i.+p between herself and Zhou Hengyang – the relations.h.i.+p the original body’s owner had ruined. If she had sought his help after everything the original owner of the body had done, wouldn’t he think she was shameless?

While Su Wen felt she was quite thick-skinned, it was not to the extent of such shamelessness. Even she felt that was too much.

However, the situation was very different now that Li Youcai had been the one to get in touch with Zhou Hengyang.

Zhou Hengyang returning without hesitation after receiving the village chief’s call was outside Su Wen’s expectations. It showed how Su Xuewen had a good eye for choosing a son-in-law. Zhou Hengyang’s character was beyond reproach. So long as she did not cross his bottom line, she had no reason to fear Su Yunyun.

Su Wen heaved a sigh of relief. She was glad she no longer had to worry about her six younger sibling’s futures or the miserable fate that would have been in store for them.

Things were developing well.

So long as she did not play with fire, Zhou Hengyang would continue to be tied to her; he would not be able to escape his status as a live-in son-in-law. Knowing Hengyang’s character, he would never allow harm to befall the Su family he was a part of; he would even look after her six younger siblings regardless of how he felt about them. Su Wen wanted to pat herself on her back for her cunning.

Maybe one day, Zhou Hengyang would come to love her.

No, no. She was getting ahead of herself. One day at a time. Su Wen knew she had to focus on the present.

Being the gracious person she was, Su Wen threw all further thoughts on the matter out of her mind and soon pa.s.sed into the realm of dreams.

Zhou Hengyang did not return to his room to take a shower. Instead, he took a shower by the well before returning to his room. He did not know why, but the room that used to fill him with disgust, one he could not help but subconsciously reject, now filled him with antic.i.p.ation and a well of nervous energy.

Zhou Hengyang narrowed his eyes and stood at the door. He could not help but think of the scene that had left his mouth dry and breathing ragged. It surprised him but, at the same time, filled him with anger.

He did not know if it was his poor self-control or because of that woman…

Clearing his cluttered mind, Zhou Hengyang pushed the door open and entered with a dark expression. He did not even look in the direction of the bed. After laying out the mattress, he picked a pillow and got ready for bed..
