Chapter 176: Future Brother-in-Law

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhao Qianshan and Fatty Luo were both locals. Of course, they knew about the mysterious minority who called the mountain depths their home. They all had tattoos on their st.u.r.dy bodies, moving with almost preternatural grace and agility. Since they were young, the two had heard from their elders about the many legends surrounding those reclusive folk.

Bandits used to roam the far hills and countryside of Clear Water County just a few decades ago. It was said that these bandits were all hunted and killed by this fierce minority.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk.” A wise man knows not to eat a loss when he sees one. Zhao Qianshan and Fatty Luo could only pray that the fiend would show them mercy when he learned they had tattled.

He Changming pulled his sleeves down in satisfaction. The clan’s reputation preceded itself despite several decades of silence.

“It was Zhou Hengyang who made us do this. Zhou Hengyang told us to take revenge on his behalf if his wife is bullied.”

He Changming found the name familiar. He mulled over it for a bit when the memory came to him. “Is he the Su family’s live-in son-in-law?”

“That’s right.”

“It’s him! Brother, let’s not provoke him; he’s too strong! We’re all afraid of him…”

“Is he really that capable?” He Changming probed.

He had never paid much attention to the Su family’s live-in son-in-law. To him, someone who chose to become a live-in son-in-law was n.o.body special.

Now, he had to reevaluate his opinion.

He Changming frowned. The more he thought about it, the more he realized he had overlooked too many things. The frivolous, hedonistic Su family he had heard of by word of mouth did not match the Su family he knew. It was not just Su Xiu who was different. The whole family was not what it seemed!

For instance, Su Wen, the matriarch of the Su family, exceeded his expectations by breaking Sun Dahai’s arm.

It made him realize his goal would be more difficult than he had thought.

Marrying Su Xiu would be challenging, especially if he had to go through her elder sister, but he was not ready to throw in the towel. He Changming imagined those timid, doe-like eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears and found himself breathing hard. Those eyes haunted his dreams since the day they first met.

He would never forget how she looked then.

“He’s very strong and knows how to handle himself in a fight.”

“Is he stronger than us?”

Fatty Luo chose that moment to b.u.t.t in without considering the situation he and Zhao Qianshan were in. “It’s not a question of strength as it is a matter of scale. You guys can’t measure up to him… Ow! Brother Shan, why’d you hit

“I’m going to beat you to death.”

Now that He Changming knew who had orchestrated the events, he did not make things difficult for the duo. “You two can leave. I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you what to say if people ask what happened, do you?”

“I know!” “I know!”

The two readily agreed, but it was not enough for He Changming, who felt their intelligence left much to be desired. He grabbed Zhao Qianshan’s shoulder and squeezed. “Brother Shan, we’re here to help. We’ll finish what you started.” “Ah…” Zhao Qianshan stammered.

“Remember to continue as planned. We must make Sun Dahai use up the 100 yuan Zhou Hengyang gave him for his injuries. 100 yuan is enough for his injuries to be treated several times, so we must work hard.” He Changming had overheard Zhao Qianshan and Fatty Luo’s conversation but had not known the significance of the sum. Now that he had the bigger picture, he knew who was pulling the strings and what Zhou Hengyang was after and instructed his fellow hunters accordingly.

Zhou Hengyang had given Sun Dahai 100 yuan for his medical expenses, which was not a small sum.

100 yuan was enough to visit the provincial capital to see a doctor, but knowing Sun Dahai’s greed, he would h.o.a.rd his new wealth rather than spend it. Indeed, few could match him in terms of shamelessness. Sun Dahai was fortunate that Zhou Hengyang was feeling generous; otherwise, he would have had to cough out double the amount for not using the money he was given for its intended purpose. After all, Zhou Hengyang could be ruthless when he wanted to be.

To have someone like him for her brother-in-law would be a headache, or so He Changming felt.

Zhao Qianshan and Fatty Luo quickly ran away upon He Changming’s dismissal. He Changming walked up to the unconscious Sun Dahai and Sun Dahe and kicked them mercilessly alongside his men. The two brothers were so badly beaten that their mother would have trouble recognizing them.

Afterward, they hurried back to the village in the dead of night..
