If Lu Daqin hadn't been wearing a braid, Song Yan would never have noticed any womanly features.

For decades to come, even if she wore her hair in a braid, Song Yan might still mistake her for a man.

Based on Lu Daqin's physical characteristics, Song Yan guessed that Lu Daqin had excessive androgen secretion. People with this condition have a particularly high chance of being infertile.

"Is this Liu Shitou's aunt's house? This is my sister, she is Liu Shitou's wife."

"I'm Liu Shitou's brother-in-law, my name is Lu Xingtian, and I work at the commune," the man who identified himself as Lu Xingtian said with a smile.

This is the person Liu Shitou said beat up the father and son.

People who have served in the military stand ramrod straight. Lu Xingtian, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, certainly looked like a cadre.

“My family has severed ties with Liu Shitou’s family. Liu Shitou’s family doesn’t need to come to my house to discuss anything.” Aunt Wei blocked the door, not intending to let them in.

Lu Daqin was clearly impatient. Lu Xingtian coughed, and she forced a smile. "Auntie, it's all my Shitou's fault for causing you trouble. I'm so sorry!"

"Don't call me Auntie. The brigade headquarters is over there. Liu Shitou lives there. Go find him there." After saying that, Aunt Wei was about to close the door.

Lu Daqin braced herself against the door, preventing it from closing completely. Lu Daqin's face was filled with anger. "I was speaking to you so politely..."

Song Yan grabbed Lu Daqin's hand, which was propping her up against the door, and pushed hard, causing Lu Daqin to take two steps back. "Do you think I'd let you in just because you're being nice? Bai Shuang!"

Bai Shuang darted to the doorway in a flash, glaring at the two of them.

Lu Daqin was slightly taken aback; she knew her own strength. The woman in front of her was thin and frail.

The disgust in the eyes of the two women, one old and one young, made Lu Daqin want to fight. She clenched her fists. If it weren't for the large dog in front of her, Lu Daqin would have already thrown a punch.

"Daqin!" Lu Xingtian called out.

Lu Daqin suddenly remembered what Lu Xingtian had said on the way there: "Liu Shitou's second cousin is a soldier and has even earned military merit. Please be polite to him when you go there."

If his aunt tells you to be more accommodating to Liu Shitou, or says you're wrong or something, you should be patient and polite. If she tells you to admit your mistake, then admit it. If she asks you to do something, then agree to it.

Lu Daqin was definitely unwilling. But she didn't dare to object. Lu Xingtian was her elder brother from the same village and clan, and he was very powerful. Moreover, without this elder brother, Lu Daqin wouldn't be able to beat Liu Shitou and his son. The reason she could act so arrogantly in Liu Shitou's house was entirely because of him.

Song Yan observed the two people in front of him. Lu Daqin was clearly short-tempered. Her fists were clenched, indicating she was holding back, and she definitely had a habit of resorting to violence at the slightest provocation. But she was very afraid of Lu Xingtian.

"I'm sorry!" Lu Daqin said, bowing her head and managing to squeeze out three words.

"Then we'll go find the stone, Auntie. We won't bother you any longer," Lu Xingtian said politely.

Watching the two leave, Song Yan called to Chang Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, take Bai Shuang and follow her from a distance. This woman has an unusually bad temper. Brother Wei is still at the brigade headquarters; don't let her beat you up again."

Xiao Hu didn't go to elementary school today.
