Chapter 423 What can it do?

Oh!

hehe!

Song Chunxue couldn't help but laugh out loud, then sneered, "You're interested in me? I'm the one making a scene?"

"Captain Lin, then tell me, what do you intend to do?"

She casually fiddled with the beaded bracelet on her wrist, her brows furrowed with barely suppressed anger.

The fourth brother clenched his fists and muttered to himself, "You surnamed Lin, you can go even further. It would be best if we started fighting!"

Looking at the woman in front of him, Lin Chuncheng felt a sense of oppression from someone of his own kind, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Who was this old woman? Her gaze made him afraid to look directly at her.

He looked away; it must have been the cool breeze blowing in from the window that made him uncomfortable.

He cleared his throat, leaned back slightly, and adopted a domineering posture.

"Let's put aside the matter of the live-in son-in-law for now. The marriage between Jiang Yehui and my younger sister Chunjiao cannot be called off; they have already secretly pledged their lives to each other..."

Song Chunxue frowned and interrupted him, "Why not put that aside for now? How can you make a private agreement? Did you kiss or have consummated your marriage? If I don't agree, what will you do to me?"

The second brother, standing to the side, grew increasingly confident, his back straightened, and his gaze toward Song Chunxue became more and more ardent.

When did Mother become so reasonable? And so domineering at that?

How many years has it been since I've felt this way, with someone backing me up?

Lin Chuncheng was choked up, a breath stuck in his chest, unable to come up or swallow, and he glared at Song Chunxue with raised eyebrows.

Song Chunxue curled her lips slightly, her eyes filled with a "what are you going to do to me?" kind of smile, like a hooligan!

"snort!"

Lin Chuncheng was furious. He clenched his fists slightly and turned to look at Jiang Yehui.

"Are you planning to take advantage of my sister for nothing and throw our friendship out the window?"

Jiang Yehui wasn't intimidated at all at this moment, and revealed a smug smile, "When you were nice to me back then, you knew that I had four brothers in my family, and you thought that for us farmers, what was it to become a live-in son-in-law in order to make a good future?"

"I haven't taken advantage of you all these years for nothing. You've treated me like a servant, and even beat me so badly I can't get out of bed. How much friendship do we have left?"

"If I hadn't hidden near the mosque, I don't know if I would still be alive now."

Lin Chuncheng was used to Jiang Yehui's polite and courteous manner towards him, but seeing him speak like this suddenly made him so angry that he slammed his hand on the chair, "Jiang Yehui!"

The fourth and second brothers were startled, and Song Chunxue gave them a cold look.

"So, is he your son or mine?" Song Chunxue's tone was aggressive. "You dare to yell at my child in front of me? Are you relying on your high rank or your physical strength?"

The fourth brother puffed out his chest and said, "That's right. Don't you Southerners pride yourselves on valuing poetry, books, and etiquette? You're already in the wrong, yet you still yell at your elders. It makes me wonder if you tricked my second brother into becoming a live-in son-in-law, or if you're just a servant in your family."

Lin Chuncheng gritted his teeth, "Our family has been wealthy farmers for three generations, and my father was also a scholar. My Chunjiao truly loves your second brother, how could she possibly let him serve as a servant!"

"Oh, so what? We brothers are all scholars. My family has been poor farmers for generations, but my mother was able to buy a courtyard for my brother and get him a job in the county government. Is my second brother out of his mind or possessed by a demon? Why does he have to run off to such a far place to become a live-in son-in-law?"

The fourth brother curled his lip in disdain, "Besides, your sister is as short as a pumpkin, not even as tall as my mother. Does she look like an angel and my second brother insists on marrying her?"

"Insolence!" Lin Chuncheng slammed his hand on the table and stood up, gripping the sword at his waist in one hand and pointing at the fourth brother with a ferocious expression. "Say that again if you dare!"

The fourth brother stuck his tongue out at him.

"you……"

"Fourth brother, how can you talk about that girl like that? Whether she's tall or pretty doesn't prove anything. The key is that she's virtuous and kind. She wants to take my son away without even asking me, her mother. She clearly looks down on our family."

Song Chunxue looked at Lin Chuncheng and said with no small amount of sarcasm, "One of you is a sycophant trying to climb the social ladder, and the other is trying to control people with his tiny bit of power. I think you are two birds of a feather, neither of you is any better than the other. You've wasted your education."

She scoffed, "To be honest, if you hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have wanted to stop you. After all, they are a good match."

The second son looked bewildered and disappointed. "Mother, how could you say such things about me in front of outsiders?"

"Did I say something wrong?" Song Chunxue asked in a curt tone. "They're all bad people, so whose fault is it?"

"..." The second son pointed to himself in shock, then looked at Lin Chuncheng, who was as angry as a turtle, and said to the fourth son in an annoyed tone, "Mother really knows how to curse now."

Seeing the mother and her two children making sarcastic remarks at him, Lin Chuncheng was so angry that he trembled.

"You've gone too far! I've never seen such a shameless person!" He pointed at Jiang Yehui and said, "Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless. Don't even think about working properly in the county government anymore. If I can't clear my sister's name, I'll change my surname from Lin!"

Jiang Yehui's eyes turned cold and sharp. "You said those words before, and I know you're no pushover. If you dare ruin my future, I'm willing to fight you to the death. I'll just go back to farming. We'll see!"

"Besides, your sister didn't just choose me as her live-in son-in-law. She kissed me, but she had kissed other men before me. How can she claim to be innocent?"

Seeing his blatant disregard for his feelings, Lin Chuncheng pulled out a whip from his waist and pointed it at him, "Jiang Yehui, are you even human?"

The fourth brother's eyes lit up. "Go ahead and fight! You're still not making a move even after all this? Are you afraid to beat my second brother?"

Jiang Yehui and Song Chunxue both looked at the fourth brother.

The fourth brother shrank his neck, looking like he was enjoying watching the show.

"Damn it, so be it!" Lin Chuncheng was so angry that his face turned red, and he lashed the whip straight at Jiang Yehui.

The second brother was quite frightened and quickly got up to back away, yelling, "Fourth brother, you bastard..."

The fourth brother excitedly bit his finger, sitting there watching his mother stand up, grab the whip from Lin Chunsheng's hand, and forcefully snatch it away.

Lin Chuncheng lost his mind and hadn't realized that she had easily taken his whip away. He thought he hadn't held it properly and drew the long knife from his waist in the next moment.

"Jiang Yehui, my sister is threatening to jump into the river, and you're the one who ruined her life!" With that, he lunged at Jiang Yehui.

Song Chunxue narrowed her eyes, her arm striking his hand hard from above. Then, she slashed to the left with both hands, slapping his ribs hard. She caught the long knife that had been thrown away with one hand, and then kicked him hard in the abdomen.

The movements were so fluid and fast that Lao Si could barely see them.

He couldn't help but stand up, clap his hands, and shout, "Well done!"

The second brother lowered his arm that was protecting his head and looked incredulously at Lin Chuncheng, who had been kicked to the ground.

"Mother, when...when did you learn martial arts?"

Song Chunxue handed him the whip, then sat down, clutching her skirt.

"Don't embarrass me in the next two years. If he dares to cause you any trouble, no matter who it is, I'll report him to the military!"
