It seemed that he had been too upset in the past two days, and this time he was sure that Hu Laoliu was also having a grudge against Su Qingluan again, so compared to the last time when he only dared to mutter a few dirty words under the influence of alcohol, this time he was in a more sober state and cursed more and more fiercely.
However, both people present knew that with Wu Erman's cowardly nature, he would not dare to curse or name any third person whose "position" was uncertain.
Because he knew that in Huaxi Village, Su Qingluan's family was very popular, and this was especially true recently because quite a number of people relied on them for their livelihood.
In this situation, if his words were to get out, the Su family wouldn't have to do anything. The villagers could drown him with just a spit from each of them.
So in front of others, especially those who were grateful to the Su family, Wu Erman didn't dare to say anything bad about Su Qingluan and the Su family, let alone show a look of dissatisfaction.
A look of contempt flashed across Hu Laoliu's eyes as he recalled some of the things he had found out from those "gangsters" in the past few days.
Although this man is a scoundrel and knows similar people, people with this kind of status are better informed than ordinary people - because they go everywhere and have connections everywhere.
When they become rich, they can't help but call their friends to those lavish places to spend money, wishing they could throw out all the money in their hands; when they become poor, they lie down on the roadside in rags, begging, robbing, and acting like a scoundrel, doing everything. If they are beaten to death, they deserve it, but if they are not beaten to death, they will continue.
There are people like this everywhere, so to some extent it is really a powerful intelligence network.
So Hu Laoliu found out that Su Qingluan's batch of jam was actually a big deal with the Xie family!
What kind of family was the Xie family? The head of the family was a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and the old lady was a noblewoman, with her title inherited. In the past and in the future, people like Hu Laoliu would never have heard of such a family, a figure far away in the clouds.
Moreover, Hu Laoliu's "brothers" also said that there are several people secretly protecting the Su family, and they don't seem easy to mess with.
With Hu Laoliu's ability, it was impossible for him to find out about Mu Xingzhi. However, due to the appearance of Xie Mansion, he mistakenly attributed this "secret protection" to the Xie Mansion.
In his opinion, although he didn't know the reason, the Xie family obviously attached great importance to the fruit jam made by Su Qingluan this time.
Furthermore, when Hu Laoliu was ordering those porcelain jars and carved wooden boxes for Su Qingluan, he wondered if these foods were truly nectar or elixir worthy of such ridiculously expensive boxes and jars? Regardless, since the Xie family was so concerned about these shipments, sending someone to secretly protect the Su family was only natural.
"So, the Xie family has someone secretly protecting that damn girl. If you want to attack her directly, you'll probably go to see the King of Hell before you even touch her!"
Although this statement seemed to be a bit of a show of appreciation for Wu Erman, ultimately, even Hu Laoliu himself was unwilling to accept it - why could a little girl be so proud and proud over two grown men, while the two of them were left here, feeling frustrated and unable to do anything?!
Hu Laoliu was not the only one who was unwilling to give up. Wu Erman was the same. He raised his head and drank another cup of wine. His eyes were red and he was breathing heavily. However, he did not forget to lower his voice and speak: "Am I just going to bear this anger like this and not be able to do anything? Didn't you say you would give me some advice?"
Well, although Wu Erman was extremely drunk last time, he still remembers this incident clearly.
Hu Laoliu was not happy to hear this. "Wu Erman, you have to be conscientious when you speak. If I hadn't warned you not to act rashly, what if you couldn't bear it in a couple of days and attacked that little girl on impulse? You wouldn't even know how you died."
Wu Erman was stunned when he heard this, and then a layer of white sweat broke out on his back - not because of the heat, but because of fear.
He thought to himself that it was indeed so, very possible.
Although Wu Erman was a bit of a coward, he was still a human being, and humans can get angry. He didn't dare to lash out at a group of people, but if he encountered Su Qingluan alone, it would be a different story.
What's more, Su Qingluan has been keeping him under her nose recently. During certain short periods of time, the two of them would be relatively "alone", but it would soon be broken by the arrival of others.
So Wu Erman had also thought about simply knocking Su Qingluan down with a punch and "getting rid of it".
Now, after Hu Laoliu's reminder, he suddenly realized: If... if he really attacked Su Qingluan impulsively in the heat of the moment, and if he messed up the affairs of those big shots... would he, would he still have a way to survive?
No, it's still happy even if there is no way to survive. Wu Erman suddenly thought of the scenes described in the storytelling and picture books in the teahouses, where the dignitaries tortured the common people like crushing an ant, and his face turned paler.
"Otherwise, let's just forget it..." Thinking of the possible retaliation, the so-called "grievance", "anger" and "unwillingness" in Wu Erman's heart were like a balloon punctured by a steel needle, and burst with a "pop".
As I said, even if he occasionally gathered a little bit of revenge, Wu Erman was a coward after all. His courage could not even allow him to stand still for a moment when facing the powerful forces that might appear.
As long as he is sure that the other party is stronger than him, he will kneel faster and more upright than anyone else.
Hu Laoliu was so furious at Wu Erman's cowardly behavior that he practically fumed. However, he quickly controlled his breathing and facial expression, trying not to let his disgust show. He continued patiently, "Brother, are you willing to just let this go? Are you going to let a little girl bully you and humiliate you so badly that you'll never be able to hold your head up again?"
In fact, if Wu Erman had a little self-awareness, he should have understood that even if there was no incident with the Su family, according to his previous personality, he would still be "humiliated and unable to raise his head."
After all, no one likes someone who only thinks about being lazy and dragging their feet all day long and wants to take advantage of everything.
However, if he really had a little self-awareness, he would not have gone to Hu Laoliu to drink alone and express how wronged he was.
Wu Erman's expression was extremely conflicted for a moment, and he muttered in a low voice, "Of course I don't want to be laughed at by others, but you've already said that the Xie family isn't a powerful family that ordinary people like us can afford to offend. And you also said that someone in the Xie Mansion is secretly protecting that stinky girl from the Su family. I don't dare, and I don't have the ability to provoke that Tai Sui who I dare not offend!"
As he spoke, Wu Erman took another sip of wine and began to peel water chestnuts: "Brother Hu, you're just asking me if I'm willing to do it, but can you give me a decent solution?"
