"What the Su family sister-in-law said is not quite right." Faced with these hasty and sycophantic words, Old Man Xiao's ashen face remained expressionless. He simply shook his head in disapproval. "Marriage cannot be based solely on outward appearances. Although the Gao family girl is not beautiful, she is extremely kind-hearted. Her three previous husbands all passed away due to their own illnesses."
Not to be modest, but given Jin Han's current state, what decent young lady would possibly want him? Even if they were to marry, he would likely be bullied in the future.
Marrying into the Gao family was a decision my wife and I made after careful consideration.
I don't expect to be extremely wealthy, but at least I can eat meat every day!
Upon hearing this, the villagers found that there seemed to be some truth to it.
Marrying a man means having food and clothing, and the same applies to marrying into his family. Although Xiao Jinhan looks like an immortal, he is crippled. Not to mention carrying bags at the dock, even doing light work in the fields is inconvenient for him.
What girl would want to marry a man like that?
Su Bai was so angry at these slippery words that she couldn't speak for a long time. She snatched the broom from Zhao's hand and swept it hard at the feet of Old Man Xiao. "Being a live-in son-in-law of the Gao family is so good, then you should get over there yourself!"
You keep saying Jin Han is in ruins, but I think you're the one who's truly ruined.
Not only is he blind in both eyes and mind, but his belly is also full of blackened heart, liver, intestines, and lungs, rotten to the bone.
Old Mrs. Xiao is old and faded, you should quickly divorce her and go to her house. If Old Mrs. Xiao is unwilling, you can take her with you to her house.
And your second son and his wife, the whole family went to the Gao family's house.
"Don't even mention eating meat every meal, even when you die and go to the underworld, your vegetarian meals during festivals will be all meat..."
The villagers' foreheads twitched as they listened, and they instinctively took several steps back. After a period of peace for almost half a month, they had almost forgotten how troublesome Su Baishi was. However, in the past, it was always because of Su Hua, but now, there was also Xiao Jinhan.
"Sizzle—"
Caught off guard, Old Man Xiao was struck squarely by Su Bai's foot.
The large broom is what the Su family usually uses to clean the chicken coop. Now, the coop is filled with chickens of all sizes, and they eat and poop a lot every day, so the broom is almost covered in chicken droppings.
The man's jet-black shoes suddenly turned into a colorful display.
Even the clean hem of the long robe was covered in chicken droppings.
Old Man Xiao's face darkened instantly, his two yellow eyes becoming unusually sharp. "Su Bai, don't go too far."
The hoarse, wet voice carried a strong warning.
"Excessive?!" Madam Su glared back without flinching, her broom never stopping. "This is my Su family's front door. If there's dirt blocking the way, I'll sweep it up. What's wrong with that? Are you even related to this old woman by blood, yet you interfere in my business!"
Xiao Jinhan was the son-in-law she had chosen for Hua'er long ago, practically half a son. Now, after being belittled by Old Man Xiao, she was so angry that all the blood in her body rushed to her head.
Hua'er said that Jinhan's injuries cannot be told to outsiders until they have healed.
She's now just waiting for that old geezer to regret his actions!
The Su brothers, Zhao Shi, Da Lang, and Er Lang behind them also stepped forward, each with a fierce look in their eyes.
"This is my Su family's territory, we can sweep it however we want!"
"If you dare glare at my mother again, Young Master Su will beat you so badly you'll be eating vegetarian food right now!"
"Get out of here! You're not welcome at Old Su's doorstep!"
"Grandma sweeping the floor and cleaning up dirt is not excessive at all; what's excessive is you..."
On the ground, Little Black, carrying Big White, kept baring its teeth at Old Man Xiao, its fur standing on end, and its two pairs of eyes, one black and one blue, were full of bloodthirsty ferocity.
"Woof woof woof!!! Woof woof!! Woof!"
"Meow meow! Roar!! Meow roar!!!"
The barking of dogs and the meowing of cats echoed each other.
A chill ran through everyone who heard this.
Old Xiao's eyes darkened, and finally he flicked his sleeves and left in a huff.
"Pah! What a cowardly bully! You want to bully Jin Han? In your next life!" Su Bai sneered, raising her hand and throwing a large broom covered in chicken droppings at the man's back.
"Pfft—"
As luck would have it, the broom hit the man right in the back.
The dark blue clothes were instantly soaked.
Su Hua noticed that the man's back stiffened for a moment, and he paused for a while before walking towards the center of the village.
She couldn't help but frown. Compared to the old woman Xiao she had met before, this old man Xiao was clearly much more sophisticated. It seemed that no matter how harsh the words were, they had no effect on him, and he could easily evade them with just a few words.
He was more affected by filth than by verbal attacks, such as Zhang the matchmaker's phlegm, or chicken droppings.
Logically speaking, ordinary farming families wouldn't care too much about such filth.
But just now, even from this far away, she could see the displeasure emanating from him.
Moreover, he walked with a light step, as if he possessed martial arts skills.
"Hua'er, you're back!" After scolding Old Man Xiao, Madam Su Bai suddenly turned around and saw Su Hua standing gracefully in the courtyard. The fierceness on her face seemed to have vanished in an instant as she hurried back into the courtyard.
Behind them, the Zhao family and the others saw Su Hua and her brother and immediately headed towards the courtyard.
The last two, Little Black and Big White, didn't forget to grab a door leaf and slam the gate shut tightly.
The villagers who had been watching the commotion outside originally wanted to ask Su Hua if the vegetable harvest was coming soon, but seeing this, they all tacitly shut their mouths and went home. The Su family was difficult to deal with, especially when they were angry, so it was more reliable for them to wait for news from Su Hua.
