"Wang, Second Brother?" Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Hahahaha...surname Wang, second brother." The third and fifth brothers looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"That's amazing!" The fifth brother gave Xia Lan a thumbs up. This sister-in-law is really something.

Xia Lan chuckled.

"This is the third brother, Zhao Xiaolong," Qin Yu said, putting a hand on Xia Lan's shoulder as he introduced her.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" The third brother, Zhao Xiaolong, bent down and smiled at Xia Lan.

"Hello, could you please stand up straight? Your hunched posture makes me feel like a little kid." Xia Lan felt surrounded by five tall, burly men, which was rather intimidating.

"Hahaha, sister-in-law, you're so funny." Zhao Xiaolong was amused by Xia Lan's mournful eyes.

Xia Lan's head only reached his shoulder, and he felt it would be impolite to look down, so he chose to bend over.

Did the result turn out to be wrong?

"It's because all five of you are too tall!" Xia Lan said helplessly.

“Standing in front of you, I feel like a child.”

"Sister-in-law, you're not short at all," the fifth brother said, comparing his height to Xia Lan's and laughing loudly.

“Zhao…Third Brother?” Xia Lan looked at the third brother in front of her. Although he was also dark-skinned, he always had a roguish smile on his lips. Looking closely at his features, he was actually the refined type.

"Sister-in-law, you can just call me Xiaolong! Hahahaha..." Zhao Xiaosan refused the title and laughed.

"Sister-in-law, my name is Chen Mo." The fourth brother nodded to Xia Lan.

Xia Lan nodded in response. Chen Mo looked a bit dull and unsmiling, and being looked at by him would easily make one doubt oneself.

Just like his name suggests, he's the kind of person who doesn't like to talk much and prefers to bury himself in his work.

"And me, me, me, me, my name is Tianmin, which means farmer in the fields," the fifth brother introduced himself with a smile.

Looking at the cheerful Fifth Brother in front of me, he was a completely different person from the aggressive Fifth Brother just now.

With just a few words, Xia Lan had frightened Aunt Liu so much that she was trembling all over. She looked at Lao Wu.

The fifth brother doesn't look very old, but because of his height, he looks fierce. In addition, his facial features are also fierce, which makes him look even more menacing.

"Sister-in-law, this is the sixth son, Ding Cheng," the second son introduced to Xia Lan. "He... well, he can't speak."

"Hello, Lao Liu." Xia Lan nodded and looked at Ding Cheng.

Although he cannot speak, Ding Cheng looks no different from an ordinary person.

Ding Cheng used sign language to communicate with Xia Lan.

The second son translated for him. "He said—'Hello, sister-in-law, you are so beautiful.'"

"Thank you," Xia Lan said happily, then looked at the second brother. "How do you sign for thank you?"

The second brother was taken aback, then demonstrated it to Xia Lan, who then gave thanks to the sixth brother, Ding Cheng, in sign language.

Ding Cheng smiled at Xia Lan.

When he smiles, his eyes naturally narrow into a crescent shape, a very cute smile.

"Old Six's smile is so warm and friendly," Xia Lan said with a smile.

"What about me? What about me?" the fifth brother immediately pointed to himself.

"Do you often scare people?" Xia Lan looked at the glint in Tian Min's eyes; his laughter was actually quite sunny.

If it weren't for his terrifying face, he would probably be a cheerful boy.

"...How did you know, sister-in-law?" The fifth brother rubbed his cheek.

"I could feel it. You were just asking me a question, right? But Aunt Liu was trembling with fear." Xia Lan had seen many evil people, but a truly evil person wouldn't have such a smile.

"Aww." The fifth sister was touched. "For the first time, someone understands me! I really didn't yell at her just now..."

“The five of you are all so tall, you would definitely have been generals in ancient times,” Xia Lan comforted her.

Judging by their faces alone, the fifth one is actually the one who looks fierce among the five.

The other four have very ordinary appearances, but with his height of nearly 1.9 meters, he becomes intimidating.

“The five of you are a perfect match.” Xia Lan took a few steps back.

Looking at the five men, who were all about the same height and exuded an imposing aura, just standing there, one could sense that they should be wearing armor and going into battle.

That's awesome!

“Sister-in-law, you’re the first one who wasn’t scared by us!” Zhao Xiaolong gave Xia Lan a deep look.

Other girls either cried or were scared when they saw them, but Xia Lan was the first person to chat with them so calmly and confidently.

“Actually, you guys aren’t scary-looking, you’re just too tall,” Xia Lan said frankly, then pointed at the fifth brother. “Except for you, it’s really your fierce face that’s scary.”

"...Sister-in-law!" The fifth brother gave Xia Lan a mournful look.

"I can't help it, my mom made me look like this..." The fifth brother squatted in the corner counting mushrooms, a dark cloud hanging over his head.

Xia Lan thought she had hurt Lao Wu's pride and asked worriedly, "Did I say something too harsh and hurt him?"

Qin Yu chuckled and ruffled Xia Lan's hair. "No."

Zhao Xiaolong glanced at him, a smirk playing on his lips, and walked toward Tian Min in the corner.

"Stop fooling around and come cook!" Zhao Xiaolong walked up behind Tian Min and kicked him in the butt.

Tian Min almost fell flat on his face, but luckily he managed to steady himself and stand up.

"I almost killed you!" He turned around, gritting his teeth, ready to kill Zhao Xiaolong.

"Look, sister-in-law, he's alright! Don't be fooled by him!" Zhao Xiaolong said confidently, even beckoning to Tian Min with his finger in a provocative gesture. "Come on over here if you dare!"

Tian Min glanced at Qin Yu behind Zhao Xiaolong and shrugged. "A good man doesn't fight with a dog."

"Have they always been like this?" Xia Lan asked Qin Yu with a smile, noting the stark contrast between their outward appearance and the impression they gave off.

“Outsiders will always have prejudices against us,” Qin Yu said quietly, and Xia Lan was taken aback.

She reached out and shook Qin Yu's hand. "I have no prejudice."

A hint of tenderness flashed in Qin Yu's eyes as he gently ruffled Xia Lan's hair.

"I know."

"What are you doing here?" Xia Lan asked, looking at the things the four had brought. "Are we having a wedding banquet? But we didn't tell anyone!"

"Just tell the village chief," Qin Yu said with a smile.

"I'll go and ask the village chief to come over. You wait for me at home."

"good."

Xia Lan looked towards the kitchen, intending to help, but Qin Yu seemed to have told them that the five of them absolutely refused to let Xia Lan go into the kitchen to help.

"Sister-in-law, don't get involved. The five of us can manage here!" Zhao Xiaolong pushed Xia Lan out, telling her to go out and play, and that they could leave the kitchen to them.

Xia Lan thought for a moment and then decided to go for a stroll in the village.

Having been in the village for so long, this was the first time she had gone out for a stroll.

Xia Lan was stopped by two women when she was less than fifty meters from her home.

Xia Lan was taken aback, realizing she didn't know these two women. "May I ask what you need?"

Fang Yiyi looked Xia Lan up and down, comparing her to Xia Lan as she looked.
