Chapter 264 Seize the Day
Song Chunxue was somewhat puzzled.
What kind of person?
She simply couldn't believe that Mei Yang, at his age, without any women at home, wouldn't still be attracted to prostitutes.
That's a lie.
Seeing Song Chunxue's expression, Mei Yang knew that she thought he was a philandering scoundrel.
He was anxious and angry, so he took two steps forward and grabbed Song Chunxue's shoulder.
"Song Chunxue, I sincerely want to treat you well."
"Let go." Song Chunxue shook off his arm. "I've told you so many times, I'm not interested. If you keep doing this, I'll hit you."
"Okay, you do it, I'll take care of it."
Seeing that he was unyielding, Song Chunxue reached out and pushed him away.
Mei Yang was prepared; he grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.
Song Chunxue was enraged; this person was utterly shameless.
She kicked him in the shin, then grabbed his arms and yanked him several meters away.
Mei Yang staggered a few steps and quickly raised his hand, "Okay, okay, I admit defeat. A good man doesn't fight with a woman."
"You're a real talent, you're the one who's being a scoundrel. You even said a good man doesn't fight with a woman. If you've got the guts, let's have a good fight."
Song Chunxue hated this kind of distorted and untrue statement the most. She took two steps forward and jumped up to kick him in the stomach.
Mei Yang, with his combat experience, clasped his hands together to block her feet and then grabbed one of her ankles.
His palm was burning hot, and Song Chunxue was furious and embarrassed. "Believe it or not, I'll kill you! Mei Yang, will you let go or not?"
Mei Yang quickly let go, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
An apology won't help.
Song Chunxue punched him in the chest, glaring at him coldly, "This is harassment, you know that's forcing someone? You can't force a melon to ripen. If you dare to do this again, I'll use a knife instead of a fist."
Mei Yang stood there dejectedly, clutching her chest, her face pale.
Hearing the commotion outside, the Butterfly family in the nearby village didn't dare to openly watch the excitement. They carefully opened a crack in the door and peeked out secretly.
Song Chunxue keenly noticed her gaze.
She called out urgently, "Butterfly, come out!"
"Why."
Aunt Tian regretted it as soon as she opened the door and ran out.
This woman is not someone to be trifled with. She actually dared to lay a hand on Mei Yang. Isn't she just asking for a beating by running out here?
Everyone said that the widow had climbed up to some powerful backer, but she felt that this person himself was unfathomable and terrifyingly strong.
She tugged at the hem of her brightly colored skirt and carefully walked to a spot three meters away from Song Chunxue.
"What does her aunt want?" She smiled and glanced cautiously at Mei Yang. "Did you two have a fight?"
Song Chunxue took a deep breath to calm her emotions.
She seems to have overreacted.
But Mei Yang was so oblivious to human language; she felt her attitude was clear enough.
“Explain yourself clearly. I’m not playing hard to get, and I didn’t mean to test him. I’m determined to be alone.” She crossed her arms. “Aren’t you the expert on this kind of thing? Try to persuade him.”
"Ah...ah?" Sister Tian's eyes widened. "You...you're making me do something that offends people, aren't you being kind?"
Mei Yang looked at Sister Tian, "You should go back. She couldn't bear to hit me directly, so she found a middleman to relay her message to me..."
Song Chunxue drew her knife and chased after him, demanding, "Say that again?"
"This knife has already seen blood. Do you want to taste what it's like to anger me?"
Mei Yang runs incredibly fast.
He belatedly felt smug.
Yes, this woman is quite strong, but her legs aren't as long as his, so she can't run as fast as him.
He ran a long way before turning back and laughing, "Sister Song, don't get excited. It's not my fault I like someone. Although you're a bit clueless about romance, I think even a stone can be warmed up eventually. If you really don't want a man, how about we become sworn brothers?"
"Pooh!"
Song Chunxue was panting heavily; she had been jostled around in the donkey cart for over an hour and was now exhausted.
"You think I'm a three-year-old child when you're trying to form a sworn brotherhood with ill intentions?"
"If you dare come to my house again, I'll kill you!"
Mei Yang laughed, "No way, it would be such a waste to kill someone as interesting as me. Don't you think someone as dull as you needs someone like me to keep you company?"
“I…” Song Chunxue bent down and picked up a pebble.
“Getting angry is bad for your health. Your flushed face only makes me more attracted to you. See you another day.” He waved and disappeared around the corner.
"Damn it!" Song Chunxue kicked the stone block next to her in anger.
"Hiss..." Damn it, even the stone block is against her.
Suddenly, she heard furtive footsteps.
Turning around, the butterfly crouched low and walked back.
"stop."
As soon as she said it, she felt like an unreasonable female bandit.
No wonder the Taoist priest's booklet contained the following precepts: one should not bully the weak, nor should one be blindly arrogant.
She used to be quite cautious, but she found that she was getting stronger and stronger, and she even dared to stab people with a knife.
Although Cheng Laowu deserves to be punished, if she becomes aggressive and belligerent because of it, she will suffer sooner or later.
She has indeed become impetuous.
"Hey butterfly, don't run away, I have something to ask you."
Aunt Tian chuckled and said, "What do I have to ask you?"
"Come to my house and sit for a while. I'll ask you questions slowly." Song Chunxue raised her hand and said, "Come to my house and I'll make you some tea. I haven't tried the brown sugar you gave me yet."
Observing her expression, Sister-in-law Tian asked, "You're not going to beat me up, are you?"
"Why would I hit you?" Song Chunxue tugged at her sleeve. "I shouldn't have hit you the time I saw you. I apologize."
"No, no, no, it was my fault for speaking rudely first, how could I let you apologize?" Aunt Tian stood still, and upon hearing this, she dared not enter the yard. "Well, you can say whatever you want outside, I still have potatoes cooking in the pot."
"Alright, then come when you have time." Seeing her frightened expression, Song Chunxue reluctantly let go of her. "I don't eat people."
Sister-in-law Tian ran home, her floral skirt billowing in the wind like a butterfly. Although she was a bit overweight, her posture was awkward and embarrassing.
Once inside the courtyard, he slammed the door shut, as if afraid Song Chunxue would rush in.
A gust of wind blew, and yellow dust filled the air. Song Chunxue quickly went into the yard.
The fourth brother had already settled the donkey in and even dug a well for it to drink.
It's not easy; he's started taking the initiative to do chores now.
Song Chunxue started a fire and brewed tea in the house.
The aroma of roasted red dates soothed her mind, and she enjoyed tea and buckwheat buns in a relaxed and carefree manner.
The fourth brother took a teacup and sat down to the side, then picked up the tea canister and poured himself a cup.
“Mother, to be fair, Mei Yang was the first one to say he wanted to live with you.”
“I suddenly remembered where I heard the name Mei Yang before. He’s doing quite well in this Zhuanglang City. He’s both righteous and wicked. Although he does some work for money, he doesn’t do anything too heinous.”
"Mother, are you truly unmoved?"
Song Chunxue looked at him and asked, "Are you willing to let him be your stepfather?"
The fourth son pondered seriously, "Hmm... the night is long, if he really could... sigh, Mother, why did you hit me?"
"Don't deny it, Mom is human too, I understand." He rubbed his forehead where his mother had hit him and said maturely, "Mom isn't a real Taoist priest, life is short, so we should enjoy ourselves while we can."
