Su Xiaonuan reached out and patted Guoguo's head. "Not bad. This time, what you said was finally different from what your brother said."

"Mom, my little brother always mimics my speech," Dou Dou said proudly. "It's a bit annoying!"

"Mom, then I won't learn it anymore," Guoguo said happily after receiving praise from her mother.

"Hmm. Don't imitate your brother's words in the future. Our Guoguo has her own way of thinking too." Then she squatted down and watched the ants moving house with the children.

"Mommy, why are they moving?" DouDou asked.

"Because their homes are no longer safe."

Guoguo: Mom, where are they moving to?

"We need to move to a place where we can shelter from the wind and rain." Su Xiaonuan looked at the sky. "Children, don't be fooled by the ants moving house; it might rain. Let's hurry back."

Su Xiaonuan led the children back to their resting place, where a number of villagers had already gathered. When they saw Zhang Yulan and Moxi, they also sat down to rest. The men took the opportunity to roll cigarettes and puff away, while the women exaggeratedly talked about the murderer.

When they saw Xiao Nuan leading the children back, everyone said that Xiao Nuan was the lucky wife of the Xiao family. If it weren't for Xiao Nuan, Mo Xi would have been in big trouble.

The family of six became a large group of people.

Throughout the journey, everyone was discussing the murder case.

Not all the villagers went to the market. After they went home separately, the news that Moxi's former blind date was a murderer spread like wildfire throughout the village.

As if by prior arrangement, each family sent a eloquent person to offer their congratulations.

The courtyard was immediately packed with people.

They are now trying to curry favor with Su Xiaonuan.

Su Xiaonuan was too lazy to deal with it. "Everyone, it's going to rain. You should all go home. We're tired too and need to rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

The weather is definitely going to change, and since I didn't bring any rain gear, we all had to go home.

If not, Su Xiaonuan would be choked by their flattery. She dislikes hearing such things the most, and she prefers straightforward people.

"Sister-in-law, have some tea." Mo Xi went to the kitchen to make some herbal tea.

"Heh, not bad, you're getting better and better." Su Xiaonuan took a sip. "Did you add plums to it?"

Wow, you could have guessed that?

"It's not a guess, it's based on taste."

"You're amazing!"

"Next time, pick a few more red camellias or roses, and the tea you brew will be called plum tea."

"Then I'll try it next time."

The family was sitting around the table in the main room drinking tea. Dou Dou and Guo Guo were so tired that they fell asleep right there on the table.

Before Su Xiaonuan could get up, Xiao Moran had already carried one child in each arm into the room.

She immediately followed him inside, and after watching him put the children on the bed, she whispered, "This is my room. You can't just come in and out like that, understand?"

"It's not nighttime, can't we bring the baby in to sleep during the day?"

"No. You can take them into your room."

"Okay, I'll remember." He said it word by word, thinking to himself, Su Xiaonuan, one day, I will wait until you willingly throw yourself into my arms.

She stared at him, as if she knew what he was thinking.

He glared at her too.

As the two were staring at each other, shouts and curses rang out from outside.

He grabbed her and ran. "It sounds like Lan Yin's mother is yelling. What does she want now?"

"Now that things have turned sour, what else do you think she wants?" Su Xiaonuan rolled her eyes. "Now you know this family is not to be trifled with, right? You still thought they were good people. I feel sorry for you. You've worked for them for so many years and got nothing in return, and you even got betrayed by Lan Yin."

"Am I too stupid?"

"So you've finally admitted you're stupid?"

"Brother, stop arguing, hurry up, Lan Guangxue is here with a lot of people causing trouble."

They kicked the gate down and it fell to the ground, lying horizontally.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Zhang Yulan asked in a humble tone, seeing that they had come with ill intentions.

"What are you doing?" Lan Guangxue pointed at Zhang Yulan menacingly. "You ungrateful woman, your children are all grown up now, you don't need to ask for help anymore, do you? Now you actually dare to bully our family, who gave you the guts?"

"Uncle, have you been listening to some gossip? How have I bullied the Lan family?"

"Get out of here, and tell your good-for-nothing son and shameless daughter-in-law to come out."

Just as Lan Guangxue reached out to push Zhang Yulan, Su Xiaonuan practically leaped forward, grabbing his large hand with her slender wrist and saying with a grin, "Uncle Lan, isn't it inappropriate for you to come here and bully me?"

"Get out of my way!" Lan Guangxue tried to shake off Su Xiaonuan's hand, but instead of getting rid of it, his hand was squeezed so hard it made a "crack" sound. In his horror, his eyes showed an expression of extreme fear.

Lan Guangxue was known in the mine for his iron hands; he could usually dig coal with his bare hands, and the rough men in the mine were afraid of his iron hands. But now, he was suppressed by this slender hand and could not exert any strength.

The more he struggled, the more his wrists ached as if they were about to break.

"Optics, are you alright?" Li Chunxiang finally realized something was wrong. She rushed forward and started scratching and hitting Su Xiaonuan. "Let go!"

Just as Li Chunxiang opened her mouth to bite Su Xiaonuan, Xiao Moran stretched out his large hand and immediately pinched Li Chunxiang's open mouth shut. "If you dare to touch a single hair on Xiaonuan's head, I guarantee you'll never be able to speak again."

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and attack together." Lan Guangxue tilted his head back.

"This...this..."

The dozen or so helpers who came with her not only didn't come forward, but retreated. This was too terrifying. Lan Guangxue was controlled by that woman in one move. Even if they all attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for her.

"Uncle, we have no grudge against you, so why did you bring so many people to cause trouble?" Zhang Yulan still couldn't understand. She thought about it carefully, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Widow Zhang, don't act innocent after getting such a good deal," Lan Guangxue scolded, enduring the pain. "Your family has two big, fat grandsons and you're still not satisfied? You want to ruin my girl's reputation. Now the whole village is saying that my girl stole your son's love. What a load of rubbish! It was clearly that slut Su Xiaonuan who slept with your son. Why are you putting the blame on my girl?"

"Watch your mouth!" Xiao Moran stared intently at Lan Guangxue.

"So what if I call her a slut?" Lan Guangxue shook his head. "Everyone knows she's a slut. Just because you tell me not to say it doesn't mean others won't. Xiao Moran, wake up! You've already been cuckolded, what are you pretending for?"

Slap! Slap!

Su Xiaonuan and Xiao Moran each slapped Lan Guangxue.

"You...you dare to hit me..." Lan Guangxue yelled angrily, raising his foot to kick Su Xiaonuan in the groin.

Xiao Moran and Su Xiaonuan nodded. At this moment, the two truly seemed to be in perfect sync.

As Su Xiaonuan let go, stepped back on one foot, and dodged to the side, Xiao Moran calmly released Li Chunxiang's mouth, stepped back, and then gave Li Chunxiang a push on the back.
