Chapter 1288 You've been pretending for long enough.
"Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about A-Lai. Don't you really plan to find him a companion in the future?"
The three of them looked at Song Chunlian together.
“Ah Lai said he didn’t want to hold the girl back, and he didn’t like ordinary girls either.” Song Chunlian sighed. “He said he only wanted to herd sheep. If he got married and had children, he wouldn’t be so leisurely.”
She shrugged. "When I said I could afford to marry her now, he said a whole bunch of things. But then I realized he clearly wanted to marry a fool, and I'd be the one suffering after having the child!"
"Pfft~"
Everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
In recent years, Song Chunlian had tried several times. She even brought a simple-minded girl home, but Ah-li said that the girl owed a karmic debt and that the person she was meant to marry in this life was not him. He also said that God had not prepared a wife for her and told her to give up on that idea.
Song Chunlian was terrified at the time, thinking he was possessed by an evil spirit.
"Oh, you're all here. The fifth daughter of the Song family is back too?" A man of similar age to them walked in, swaying as he walked, his back hunched over badly.
"I heard that the second son of the Hu family ran up the mountain at noon. When he was found, he was unconscious on the mountain with his palm pierced. When he woke up, he kept talking nonsense and said Song Chunxue's name. Did you teach him a lesson?"
“It wasn’t me,” Song Chunxue stared at him coldly. “With your leg like this, instead of staying at home, you’re going around chatting and gossiping. Aren’t you afraid of hurting your back?”
"Oh, I knew it was you. Everyone knows the second son of the Hu family, when he was young..."
"Jiao Laosan, stop talking nonsense and get out of here!" Song Zhizhu pointed to the door. "We don't welcome you. If you don't want to get beaten up, leave now, or I'll tear your mouth apart."
Song Chunxue understood that her second brother had guessed what the second son of the Hu family had done.
"What are you yelling about? I'm just..."
"Get out!" Song Zhizhu walked up to him with a stick, pointed at the gate, and was furious.
"Hmph, who doesn't know about the five Song sisters when they were little..." Jiao Laosan fell to the ground in response.
Song Zhizhu kicked the man to the ground and grabbed his hair, slapping him hard twice.
“Your mouth is dirty, isn’t it? I’ll wash it for you!” Song Zhizhu shouted at his wife, “Bring me the dung scoop and rinse his mouth.”
"Okay, wait!" Second Sister-in-law jumped off the platform. Although her steps were heavy, she ran very fast.
"Ugh...ugh, Song Zhizhu, you cowardly dog...ah, my bone!"
Song Chunxue and Song Chunlian watched from the side without interfering.
Before Second Sister-in-law could retrieve her manure scoop, Jiao's third son scrambled away, cursing and swearing. Song Zhizhu chased after him, warning him that if he continued talking nonsense, he would cut out his tongue and have Song Chunxue pierce his mouth as well. Only then did Jiao's third son shut up.
Song Zhizhu stood outside the courtyard gate with his hands on his hips, shouting loudly at Jiao Laosan for a while, also cursing the other gossipy people.
Song Chunxue heard her second brother talking about how she could kill someone with a flick of her finger.
"Sigh, my second brother is using me like a tigress guarding the gate."
"I think you should have stabbed his mouth in the mouth. We are all girls and we suffered a lot when we were young, but our eldest and second eldest sisters were tough and protected us."
Song Chunlian asked her in a low voice if she had been harmed by the second son of the Hu family back then. Song Chunxue shook her head, "If that were the case, I would still be alive today. Ten years ago, when I had just gained some skills, I pierced through him."
Not long after, Song Zhizhu finished his rant and came in to ask, "Do you keep a horse?"
"Yes, they should be at Fourth Sister's house right now. What's wrong?"
Song Chunlian slapped her forehead. "Oh no, did I forget to lock the door?"
"Tethering him won't help; he'll just run out on his own. What's wrong with that?"
"I saw it from afar, a chestnut horse kicked that Jiao Laosan away with two hooves," Song Zhizhu said, still a little shaken. "Do you think he was kicked to death?"
"Let's go, let's go take a look!" Song Chunlian said anxiously. "We can't afford to get involved in a murder case."
Song Chunxue asked Wuyou, "The person isn't dead, is he?"
No, we won't let him off so easily.
That's good.
“Oh dear, what do we do now? Jiao Laosan’s son is a trained martial artist. Both of his sons have studied kung fu and are quite skilled with swords. Over the years, no one has dared to provoke them. Today, I couldn’t hold back.” Song Zhizhu lowered his voice. “Why don’t you go back, Lao Wu? I’ll handle them.”
Song Chunxue shook her head and took out the Overlord Sword.
"Shall we go? His son is on the estate."
“Yes, I just heard it. His two sons came back from the fields yelling,” the second sister-in-law said, terrified. “They are two men after all.”
She patted Song Zhizhu on the shoulder, saying, "You're all talk and no action. The two sons of the third son of the Jiao family can also fly on swords with a wave of their hands. Their lightness skills are amazing. What will the fifth son do if he can't beat them? We'll have a good meal tonight."
Song Chunxue laughed, "It's alright. If I can't beat them, that horse can easily subdue them."
Wuyou dashed out, [Alas, I love watching the excitement!]
Jiao Laosan groaned and was helped back to his home by his grandson.
His two sons, each carrying a long sword, charged straight at Song Chunxue.
"You bitch, you think you can do whatever you want just because you have some martial arts skills? I'll see just how good you really are!"
[Stay calm.] Song Chunxue reassured Wuyou, [Let me handle this.]
[I'm so angry! Tear his mouth apart!]
"Everyone says you've become a Taoist priest after going up the mountain, how powerful are you? Turns out you've come here to bully an old man like my dad..."
"Don't you know your father has a foul mouth?" Song Zhizhu shouted angrily. "Keep the old man in check, don't let him go around pointing fingers at other people's houses. Scolding him is too lenient."
Two men in their thirties attacked Song Zhizhu simultaneously, their movements menacing.
"Clang~"
Wuyou blocked their sword sheaths, and Song Chunxue could hear his curses all around her.
"Bullying others with your power, I can do that too." Song Chunxue gripped the Overlord Sword. "Come on, this sword of mine's been too idle lately... Hey?"
The next moment, the Overlord Sword rushed over and with a few loud clangs, cleaved the sword and scabbard into pieces.
The key point is that the Overlord Sword went by itself, and Song Chunxue didn't even have time to exert any strength.
Everyone stared in disbelief at Song Chunxue.
"Fifth brother... have your two swords... become sentient?"
The stubborn donkey finally couldn't hold back any longer. It charged over, turned around, and kicked the two strong men with its hind hooves, sending them flying.
Then, the stubborn donkey let out a satisfied neighing, its tail swishing freely.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Oh no, they have no self-awareness at all. Acting like this in front of ordinary people is terrifying.
Even if it doesn't scare you, it's still quite astonishing.
"Everything is fine, why bother arguing with such a scoundrel? Next time, you are not allowed to act without my permission!" Song Chunxue lowered her voice, "Overlord, you've been pretending for long enough."
The Overlord Sword immediately fell to the ground, feigning death.
