Chapter 35 The one I fear most is Xie Ming

"In the dream, is my sister-in-law still with us?"

Su Cheng paused, and suddenly met his eyes. She was stunned for a moment, and after a moment she spoke, "Of course I am."

When the original owner was shot through the body by Xie Ming and hung at the city gate for public display, the three Xie brothers stood beside the corpse admiring their own masterpiece.

Why not count them as...

Xie Ming got the answer, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He suddenly felt relieved and murmured, "That's good."

These four short words aroused Su Cheng's defense.

What do you mean it's fine like this?

Did he really want to stay with them? He wasn't going to pierce himself with a spear like in the book...

On the other hand, Xie Ming seemed to be in a good mood and cut the vegetables with much more strength.

He always thought that Su Cheng had changed his personality and was determined to live a good life, until today, when his second brother called him into the house.

"The Su family may have changed their core now. They are no longer ordinary people. They probably have the ability to predict the future."

As long as it’s not the Su Cheng from before, it’s fine.

"Uncle..." Su Cheng felt a little uneasy when hearing the crisp sound of cutting vegetables. He quickly put on a smile and said, "I am usually careless and can't be careful about everything. If there is anything I am not considerate of, I hope you can forgive me."

Among the three men in the Xie family, the one she feared the most was Xie Ming.

Xie Suzhou is white-faced but black-hearted, and Xie Jinyu is moody, but the two above him only attack with psychological tricks. If they fall into Xie Ming's hands, they will be injured at best and killed at worst.

Xie Ming has not yet turned evil, so there is still hope for him.

"Why did sister-in-law suddenly say this?" Xie Ming frowned, a hint of suspicion on his face. "Could it be that in your dream... you were bullied by me?"

"Of course not!" Su Cheng waved his hands repeatedly, but he felt very uneasy in his heart. "My uncle has a good character, how could he bully me?"

After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she was not doing well. She coughed lightly, and her smile became a little more awkward. "You go ahead and do your work. I'll go see if Cui Jie'er is asleep."

He leaned sideways and accidentally hit the chopping board, causing the egg to roll off.

Su Cheng subconsciously reached out to take it, but unexpectedly the man opposite also reached out his hand.

The egg fell into Su Cheng's palm, and her hand was held firmly by Xie Ming.

Su Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly reached out, stuffed the egg into his hand, and ran out of the kitchen.

When she reached the door, she saw a spear leaning against the corner, with a bright and clean tassel under the spear head.

"sister in law……"

Xie Ming looked at the slender figure running to the west room. His hand holding the egg froze in mid-air, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes. "Sister-in-law... is she afraid of me?"

A quarter of an hour later, Su Cheng finished the plate of scrambled eggs with wild onions.

The reason is simple: I'm just hungry.

It wasn't because she didn't dare to refuse Xie Ming.

[Host, go to the fields, there are clues.]

Su Cheng's hand holding the chopsticks froze, and he felt a little surprised.

Could we catch the thief today?

Su Cheng quickly finished the remaining scrambled eggs, without even wiping his mouth, and got up and ran out.

"Mom! Where are you going?"

Xie Cuicui's voice sounded suspicious from behind. Su Cheng didn't have time to turn around and shouted at the top of her voice, "You go to sleep first. Mother is going to the fields."

Xie Ming happened to be standing in front of the courtyard gate. He had just finished sweeping the floor when he saw the woman running out in a hurry, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"

"Luckily you're here." Su Cheng turned to him, grabbed his wrist, and dragged him out of the yard, "Come with me to the fields!"

Xie Ming glanced at the little hand on his wrist, and suddenly felt his cheeks getting hot. He lowered his head and obediently followed her away.

The two of them rushed to the edge of the field in the dark. Their vision was unclear and Su Cheng almost sprained his ankle. He subconsciously hugged Xie Ming's arm tightly.

Xie Ming's face was flushed, but fortunately it was night and not easy to be discovered. Feeling the warmth on his arm, Xie Ming's mind was in turmoil and he forced himself to keep steady.

"Sister-in-law, we'll be there in just a hundred steps." Xie Ming was already familiar with this road, and even at night, it was no different from daytime.

Su Cheng nodded and looked around cautiously, "I'll jump down, and you lie in ambush on the road."

After sending Xie Ming away with a few words, Su Cheng stepped into the field. Not caring about the dirt, he lay down on the ground and stared at his own field vigilantly.

"The eldest daughter-in-law——"

A muffled voice was heard not far away. Su Cheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw Uncle Liu lying not far from him in the moonlight, holding a hoe tightly in his hand.

Su Cheng nodded at him, signaling him to be quiet.

About a cup of tea later, footsteps were heard by the field. The sound was chaotic and did not seem like that of one person.

"We've been here for a few days now. Stop it! If we get caught by Xie Si, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"What are you afraid of? No matter how cruel Xie Si is, would he dare to cause a death?"

"Thank you, Si-he..."

"Stop talking nonsense! We've already done it, what else can we do without?"

Two figures appeared on the road, one tall and one short, carrying farm tools on their backs. It was obvious that they were the culprits who disturbed the Xie family's land.

The two men jumped into the field, waving their hoes and starting to cause trouble.

"Stop it! You black-hearted people, you're destroying the crops, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Uncle Liu was the first to stand up and rush out, avoiding the small mound where the seeds were buried, and holding up his hoe, he was ready to deal with the two men.

"Why is there still someone here?"

“Run!”

The two were startled and ran towards the road in a hurry.

Su Cheng brushed the dirt off her skirt. Seeing them trying to run, she immediately called out, "A Ming!"

The moonlight was dim and only the outline could be vaguely discerned.

I don't know where Xie Ming came from. He swept the butt of his gun and stabbed a man in the lower abdomen. Then he kicked the thief on the back. The man flew far away and fell to the ground. He screamed and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"How dare you touch my things?"

The tip of the spear shone with a cold, eerie light. Xie Ming lowered his eyes, a hint of amusement in them. "If you don't want to live anymore, I'll personally send you off."

The thief was quite clever and used a black cloth to cover his mouth and nose to hide his face. But when he saw Xie Ming, even with his face covered, fear still flashed in his eyes. "Xie...Xie Si! Are you trying to kill someone?"

Xie Ming's Adam's apple rolled, and the tip of his gun pointed directly at the thief's face, obviously furious. "You know that farmers rely on the land for their livelihood, yet you have come here to destroy it again and again with such a conscience. You are the first to act unjustly and want to cut off our Xie family's escape route. Killing you with a gun is a piece of cake."

"A Ming, calm down."

A pair of small hands grabbed his arms, and a woman's gentle voice sounded. Xie Ming's eyes flashed with clarity, and he actually slowly put down the spear in his hand.

"Since you two are here, why not speak frankly?" Su Cheng slowly squatted down, looked at the two of them with a smile, and said casually with a half-curled lip, "You've done something immoral, why are you still hiding it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Cheng raised his hand and pulled off the black cloth on their faces.

The thief wanted to hide, but Xie Ming was guarding behind her with a spear in his hand, as if he would challenge them if they dared to run.

The cloth covering their faces was pulled off, and seeing the faces of the two people, Su Cheng's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he sneered, "It really is beyond my expectation, Village Chief Chen."
