Chapter 39 People, he also wants
"Song Gang is dead?"
Su Cheng didn't want to get close to him, but didn't dare to leave, so he could only muster up the courage to ask questions.
"Sister-in-law, won't you come in and take a look?" Xie Jinyu propped herself up, her phoenix eyes illuminated by the moonlight appearing even colder. "Or... are you afraid of me?"
The handsome face in front of him matched the one in the original owner's memory. Su Cheng's legs went weak and he fell to the ground. His knees hit the bluestone slab with a dull sound.
Seeing this, Xie Jinyu let out a sigh, got out of bed barefoot, walked slowly to Su Cheng, and extended his hand to her.
The hands were slender and white, with delicate palms, without a single trace of farm work.
Such beautiful hands, but stained with blood.
Su Cheng turned her face away, not daring to hold his hand, let alone look him in the eyes.
Xie Jinyu pursed her lips, squatted down, pinched her chin with her clean fingertips, and forced her to look at him. "I killed the villain who wanted to frame my sister-in-law. Why didn't my sister-in-law praise me, but was afraid instead?"
"You killed someone, so why should I praise you?" Su Cheng turned and glared at him, tears flashing in his eyes. "I just asked you to hold him back so I could wake up the villagers and catch him in the act. Who told you to stab him to death?"
"What if I didn't come over to take a look first, but instead found someone directly and took you to the government? You would have to exchange your life with his!" Su Cheng's breathing became a little rapid. He bit his lower lip tightly, forcing himself not to recall what happened to the original owner.
She was really scared.
During these days of getting along, her favorability rating increased steadily. She felt very comfortable and for a moment she even forgot that the three brothers of the Xie family were not good people to begin with.
If Xie Suzhou is the most cunning and Xie Ming has the highest fighting ability, then Xie Jinyu is a dangerous character with dozens of stars, who is unpredictable, sometimes good and sometimes bad.
To put it bluntly, he doesn't need to turn evil at all.
Xie Jinyu raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red, "Sister-in-law, are you worried about me?"
Su Cheng gritted his teeth and was silent for a long while before softening his tone. "Song Gang is indeed evil to the core, but you shouldn't have killed him. You could have had a bright future. You can't have blood on your hands."
"For someone like me, what hope of a bright future can I have?" Xie Jinyu chuckled softly, gazing at her intently. "Even wild grass can't be completely burned out; it will sprout again in the spring breeze. He harbored evil intentions towards my sister-in-law, so he shouldn't be alive. I'll kill him with one blow. And that Zhou Beibei..."
"Zhou Beibei can't be killed!" Su Cheng's eyes flashed with panic. He ignored his fear and subconsciously grabbed Xie Jinyu's collar and whispered, "Leave her to me. If I can't deal with her, I will ask you for help. Before that, you must not act rashly."
This is such a strange thing!
Zhou Beibei is the protagonist of "True, Good, Beautiful", the person who can make the brothers close together in the future. How could Xie Jinyu want to kill her?
The hero wants to kill the heroine, is this the right direction?
Because of her action, the distance between the two of them was shortened in an instant. Xie Jinyu's eyes flashed, and after a moment of silence, he nodded obediently, "Listen to my sister-in-law."
"As for Song Gang..." Su Cheng closed his eyes, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably. "Let him die. He was never a good person to begin with. Let him be a disaster to the world."
Xie Jinyu stared at her, confusion in her eyes, "What are you afraid of, sister-in-law?"
Behind Su Cheng was a mud wall. She had nowhere to retreat, and Xie Jinyu was holding her in her arms. There was no escape. A tear fell down her cheek, "I'm afraid that one day, your knife will stab me."
"Jinyu, let's live a good life and don't do anything extreme." Su Cheng raised his eyes, tears flashing in them, "When you recover and the family earns enough money, we can go sightseeing and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the four seasons, okay?"
Xie Jinyu was stunned, frowned, and looked at the tear marks on her cheeks, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
That tear seemed to fall on his heart, as if she...really cared about him.
For him, if this broken body could get rid of an enemy for his family before dying, it would be a worthwhile death. Song Gang's repeated provocations made him unbearable, and killing him would be for his second brother.
Although the window paper was not broken, Xie Jinyu could see that her second brother liked her. Song Gang was a notorious gangster in this area, and her second brother was weak, so how could he confront Song Gang head-on?
It would be better for him to kill Song Gang himself and protect her for his second brother.
But now, he suddenly changed his mind.
He wants to see the beautiful scenery of the four seasons, and he also wants people.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry." Xie Jinyu casually lowered his eyes, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and coaxed her in a gentle voice, "I won't make the same mistake today again, and I won't make things difficult for you, sister-in-law."
Su Cheng was a little surprised. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at him carefully. "Really?"
"Of course." Xie Jinyu looked at her bright little face, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said inexplicably, "No wonder Second Brother had that dream..."
Su Cheng was puzzled, "What did your second brother dream about?"
"Nothing, let's go home," Xie Jinyu said cheerfully, glancing at the broken bed board behind him. "He died here, and he won't be discovered in a short time."
Su Cheng used his strength to stand up. He didn't dare to look back. He just held the hand of the person beside him tightly. "Let's go quickly, go home and burn your clothes."
Xie Jinyu was holding her hand and laughing happily. But when she stepped out of the yard, she glanced at the big tree not far away, and then followed her sister-in-law obediently as if nothing had happened.
After they left, a long time passed before a figure came out from behind the tree.
Zhou Beibei's face was as pale as wax. She leaned against the tree for a long time, but she could still feel her heart beating violently.
"Song Gang is dead..." Zhou Beibei clutched her chest tightly, looking somewhat crazy as she kept muttering, "Dead...dead..."
[Host, Xie Jinyu's favorability has increased by 20.]
Su Cheng paused while lighting the fire, and subconsciously looked at the man beside him, with suspicion flashing in his eyes.
Why did the favorability value of the damp male ghost suddenly increase so much?
"Sister-in-law, why are you looking at me like that?" Xie Jinyu, wearing an inner garment and a loose outer robe, smiled innocently. "But what's on my face?"
"No." Su Cheng shook his head and said casually, "Since you are pretty, I took a few more glances at you."
After hearing this, Xie Jinyu's smile widened. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and gently placed it next to her.
Su Cheng looked surprised and picked up the porcelain bottle and looked around. "What is this?"
"Jade Muscle Cream, I begged Elder Du to make it for my sister-in-law." Xie Jinyu seemed to have thought of something, and her face flushed. "The other day... I accidentally saw old scars all over my sister-in-law's arms. Maybe this thing can improve them."
Hearing this, Su Cheng's eyes lit up, and his face was full of surprise. "Really? That really helped me a lot."
The two people were very close to each other, only a fist's distance apart. Xie Suzhou stood under the tree, looking at the two people who were talking happily from afar, his hands holding the lunch box so hard that they turned white.
