Chapter 368: Giving Her a Beating
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
What use was a live-in son-in-law?
Wasn’t he embarra.s.sed?
Su Xuefang did not know whether her older brother had been blind to have agreed to such a match. A man marrying Su Wen for her looks should have had a dowry worth at least 1000 yuan. Zhou Hengyang did not even have that. Where on earth had her older brother found this stray, and why would he willingly give him his daughter’s hand in marriage?
Could someone like Zhou Hengyang be a good person? She doubted it.
Zhou Hengyang sneered. He was too lazy to bother with words for such people. He hoisted Su Xuefang by her clothes as if she were a particularly unruly chicken before tossing her into the air, causing her to land on the ground with a harsh ‘thump.’ Disoriented by Zhou Hengyang’s unexpected actions and landing in a heap of messy limbs, Su Xuefang cursed, screaming profanities non-stop.
Zhou Hengyang eyed Su Xuefang expressionlessly as he listened to her curse her older brother for being blind to have wed Su Wen to a man like him. Had she left it at that, he might not have done anything, but her subsequent words made him narrow his eyes, a terrifying gleam, cold and harsh, fixed on Su Xuefang.
“Humph! A man like you with no background, no money, nothing whatsoever is useless. Big Brother might as well have married his daughter to Shen Erkui.
At least he is better than you are…”
“Are you courting death?” Zhou Hengyang interrupted.
“What?” The sudden threat caught Su Xuefang flat-footed.
“I said you’re courting death.” Zhou Hengyang pointed at their surroundings. “You still have the cheek to say such things under these circ.u.mstances. It shows how stupid you are.”
Su Xuefang s.h.i.+vered. She only realized they were not in the Su family compound but somewhere off the road near the village entrance. She may have been Su Wen’s aunt, but that meant nothing to Zhou Hengyang, who stood towering over her. Before her mind could conjure up gruesome scenes of her death and quiet disposal, Xu Xiaoxiao returned with s.h.i.+ Caiyue, who looked a little green.
Xu Xiaoxiao casually tossed s.h.i.+ Caiyue aside, kicking her for good measure. The wails and plaintive screams it drew were no better than those of a pig let to the slaughter.
“You wouldn’t believe how she tried to resist! She’s one to court death, I say.” Xu Xiaoxiao removed a handkerchief from his pocket and cleaned his hands in disgust. However, it was not enough for him, so he kicked s.h.i.+ Caiyue again to vent his anger.
“I’m not one for violence, but you really got on my nerves.” Xu Xiaoxiao made himself sound like some peace-loving monk. Unfortunately, his ruffian-like demeanor and lack of empathy for someone already at his mercy attested otherwise. Having grown under Madam Zhou’s strict hand, he had no qualms about ending a woman’s life if necessary, their s.e.x be d.a.m.ned.
As long as it was an enemy he was facing, he would beat them up, regardless of gender.
It was precisely this personality trait that Zhou Hengyang admired most in Xu Xiaoxiao, despite how annoying he could sometimes be.
Su Xuefang was so scared that she peed her pants, laying on the ground s.h.i.+vering like a frightened rabbit. She no longer wielded her arrogance as a sword as she had before.
“Tell me, whose house was affected by the fire in Trinity Village?” Zhou Hengyang demanded condescendingly.
s.h.i.+ Caiyue was in so much pain she believed the violence against her person had scrambled her internal organs. Gritting her teeth, she refused to answer. If she did, death would be the kindest punishment. She had never considered the possibility that she would one day land herself in jail. All that mattered was money; if selling those young girls to those traffickers would net her such, then it was a worthy enterprise in her eyes.
This was her first time realizing the dangers of being caught red -handed.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk…” Su Xuefang’s courage was in tatters, and she no longer had the will to resist the two terrifying men glaring at her.
‘Quiet… Ow!”
s.h.i.+ Caiyue tried to stop Su Xuefang from spilling the beans when Xu Xiaoxiao lashed out with another kick. This time, he had used more strength, sending her flying much further. s.h.i.+ Caiyue landed five to six meters away, cras.h.i.+ng into the ground so hard that she blacked out.
“Ah! He’s killed her!” Su Xuefang had never met someone as ruthless As Xu Xiaoxiao. s.h.i.+ Caiyue was not a ball yet had flown so far with a light kick. It did not even look like she was breathing anymore.. Immediately, Su Xuefang concluded that s.h.i.+ Caiyue was dead!
