Su Qiao focused on training herself to cultivate the newly acquired medicinal herbs using her consciousness.
He completely ignored Yao Honghong.
Yao Honghong said a few words at first, but seeing that Su Qiao did not react, she stood still and maintained the most appropriate posture.
She was cursing under her breath.
Little White was guarding the door.
His eyes were fixed on Yao Honghong.
Yao Honghong broke out in a cold sweat from its gaze and had no choice but to give up on trying to get through to Su Qiao and turned to leave.
The uninvited guest left, and Xiaobai returned to Su Qiao's side.
The sun was about to rise directly overhead.
Su Qiao was a little worried because her older brother hadn't returned yet.
"Little White, let's go find our brother."
Xiao Bai: ...No, do you really think of me as a dog?
Su Qiao closed the door and looked at Xiao Bai, who looked completely bewildered.
Ruffle its head.
"Let's go. If you can find Lu Xiangze in the deep mountains, finding my brother should be a piece of cake."
Xiao Bai suddenly remembered what he had been hiding.
Feeling guilty, it took off running. So what if it's a dog? It's already done something scary, what's one more thing than finding someone?
Su Qiao followed Xiao Bai and soon arrived at the Lu family's residence.
Through the low wall, she could already see the scene inside.
Four unremarkable middle-aged men were blocking the doorway.
Behind them was a woman in red.
Her hair was extremely short, as if it had been chewed by a dog.
The woman had a rope tied around her waist, held by one of the people. She looked around, squatting on the ground poking ants. She didn't seem like a person of sound mind.
Su Ming stood guard at the door, holding a carrying pole made of old bamboo.
There were also some sticks and other things scattered on the ground.
"You brat, how dare you stop me! Do you know who I am?"
"Of course I know, you shameless person."
"You! You son of a bitch, don't think I won't hit you!" The middle-aged man raised his hand high, and the woman in red on the ground suddenly began to struggle and back away.
I want to hide.
Pulling the rope calmed the man down, and he tried to compose himself.
“I really am the father-in-law of this family. I’m here today to see the bride off.”
The atmosphere remained deadlocked.
Just as Su Qiao was about to take Xiao Bai over, she saw two familiar faces running towards her from not far away.
She immediately took out paper and pen, wrote a note, and asked him to deliver it to the brigade leader's house.
The captain clearly treated Lu Xiangze better; it's always right to invite him first.
Xiao Bai went to get reinforcements.
Su Qiao then walked over to Su Ming's side.
"Why are you here? Step back behind me."
"Someone is coming, and it's inconvenient for you to deal with them."
Su Ming was somewhat puzzled.
But we soon found out.
Lu's mother, Chen Ximei, arrived with Lu Xiaomei.
She heard that there was a roadblock in front of Lu Xiangze's yard, so she rushed over without saying a word.
She wanted to see who dared to block her path to wealth!
Walk closer.
I saw a perfect couple.
Although she didn't go out, she had heard about the farce that happened among the educated youth.
It was obvious who this was.
He immediately started making plans in his mind.
He greeted Su Ming with a smile.
"Young comrade, what are you doing blocking my in-laws' way? Is there some misunderstanding?"
Seeing the malicious smile on Lu's mother's face, Su Ming immediately held the carrying pole horizontally in front of her chest.
"There's no misunderstanding, you're trying to murder me! I'm even going to report this to the police!"
Chen Ximei was completely confused and looked at the middle-aged man.
He was Yang Guangyi, the Party Secretary of Yangjia Brigade. He was already very dissatisfied with what had happened today, and now this happened.
Chen Ximei's suspicious gaze pierced his eyes.
He was immediately furious.
"What are you looking at! I didn't do anything. It's not my fault that your own son had to run into my stick!" Yang Guangyi had never seen such a fragile big man who fainted from a light touch.
“I’m the Party Secretary of Yangjia Brigade, and my daughter has no trouble finding a husband. If you hadn’t said your son was a good catch, I wouldn’t have agreed. Now that you’ve accepted the dowry, you’re pulling this stunt? Do you think the Yang family has no one left?”
Several middle-aged men behind him echoed his sentiments.
Chen Ximei was always a bully at home, and she would never dare to argue with people from other brigades.
In addition, she did receive a dowry.
She turned to Su Ming.
"Young comrade, you must have misunderstood. They say it's all about the parents' wishes, and whoever I tell him to marry, he has to marry. I'm doing this for his own good. I've already accepted all the gifts. If you don't move aside, I'm going to call for help."
As Chen Ximei said this, she pulled Lu Xiaomei, who was behind her, forward.
Lu Xiaomei's face was flushed, and she was very shy.
This was the first time she had ever been so close to someone so good-looking.
Su Ming naturally refused to give in.
Chen Ximei hardened her heart and pushed Lu Xiaomei.
As long as you can get close to Su Ming, you're guaranteed to be her son-in-law.
Su Qiao stepped forward and pulled Su Ming behind her.
At the same time, he caught Lu Xiaomei who was falling.
He grasped her shoulders and said calmly, "My brother said no."
Su Ming was completely stunned; when did her sister become so strong?
"I won't let my brother get into trouble without knowing why before he wakes up."
"Don't be so stubborn! This is still Lu family territory. You're just here to visit relatives. Aren't you afraid that after you leave, your sister will..." Chen Ximei threatened when she realized that she couldn't win her over.
"Chen Ximei!" A furious roar rang out.
Captain Lu Fugui finally arrived.
"Captain..."
"I didn't know that the Qingshui Brigade was all yours now, and you can threaten whoever you want? Chen Ximei, you're really something!" Lu Fugui gave a thumbs up.
Although he was a little out of breath, he still spoke clearly and logically.
Chen Ximei was still unconvinced.
"But... I didn't do anything wrong, isn't everyone in the village like that..."
"Do you even know what it means to sever ties with your eldest son?! You've severed ties with him and separated from the family! Do you understand?!"
Lu Fugui felt his brain throbbing.
Chen Ximei is desperately short of money right now, so she doesn't care about these small details.
"Arranged marriages are unacceptable, and Xiao Su did the right thing today."
Yang Guangyi was somewhat dissatisfied, not expecting this to happen.
Step forward and introduce yourself.
The current Qingshui Brigade is incomparable to what it used to be, and it's far worse than their Yangjia Brigade.
He was waiting for the captain to change his mind.
"There's no room for discussion on this!"
Yang Guangyi did not expect Lu Fugui to be so disrespectful.
Her eyes darted around, and she added, "Since we're discussing marriage for that child, he should be present, right? I'll show him the dowry list, and maybe he'll agree."
Yang Guangyi knew that although this man had served in the army for many years, he was now disabled and unable to do anything.
He'll have no future after leaving the army, so if we give him all that dowry...
He's destitute now, so he might agree.
Su Ming sneered and pointed at one of the sticks on the ground with the carrying pole, saying, "Look at this stick, it's covered in blood. You come up and hit someone on the head right away. What, do you expect to knock him stupid so you'll agree to your demands?"
Su Ming spoke quickly and urgently.
Moreover, he spoke with an accent from S City, and the others almost couldn't keep up.
