Chapter 228 She had been plotting against Pei Jiuyan for a long time!
What is that?
Divorce his wife and marry another?
What era are we living in? How can we still hear such things?
Through Mu Ling's incoherent and somewhat broken Chinese, Qin Suisui finally understood the truth of the matter.
Originally, in the Snake Witch tribe, besides her master, the High Priest, there was another leader who was highly regarded by the tribe. In the Li language, he was called "Wofu," which means someone who possesses specific mysterious knowledge related to agriculture or hunting. He was an expert in presiding over agricultural sacrifices (such as the sowing and harvesting of mountain rice) and hunting sacrifices.
Because the Snake Witch tribe used to live deep in the mountains, they mainly relied on slash-and-burn agriculture and hunting. Therefore, Wolf, also known as Pado, was one of the most respected leaders among the tribe, besides Palong.
Pado's son and daughter-in-law both died in a hunt, leaving only a granddaughter named Ruoqiang. Pado doted on her and fulfilled all her requests without question, which led to Ruoqiang becoming spoiled and domineering.
In the morning, Pei Jiuyan joined Paman and the others in slaughtering pigs and cooking soup in the square. However, because he had rushed back from the sea, he hadn't had time to change out of his uniform. He was worried that the dirt would splash onto his uniform while slaughtering the pig and wouldn't wash off, so Paman took Pei Jiuyan to a temporary hut near the square to change his clothes.
To Pei Jiuyan's surprise, he found Ruoqiang changing clothes inside as well.
Fortunately, the women of the Snake Spirit Brigade were all wearing their tribe's traditional clothing that day, which included an inner garment, and Pei Jiuyan managed to escape in time.
But Ruoqiang persisted, insisting that Pei Jiuyan had seen her naked and ruined her innocence, and therefore had to take responsibility for her.
When Qin Suisui arrived, the square was in an uproar.
The sounds of slaughtering pigs and the shouts of the strong men mingled together in an orderly fashion, accompanied by the chatter of the crowd, creating a cacophony.
Pei Jiuyan and his group were negotiating inside that small wooden house.
Upon seeing her arrive, Pei Jiuyan's already cold and stern expression darkened even more when he looked at Ruoqiang's chattering mouth.
He frowned slightly: "What happened?"
"You're his wife?" Ruoqiang suddenly turned to Qin Suisui, and when he saw her face, a strange competitive spirit welled up in his eyes.
Qin Suisui nodded, looking at her unfriendly gaze, and crossed her arms as well: "You're Ruoqiang? I heard you want my lover to divorce me and marry you?"
Ruoqiang's eyes were filled with disdain: "That's right. I was changing clothes here when he deliberately barged in and ruined my reputation. According to the rules of our tribe, he has to take responsibility for me!"
"I think he's just lusting after me, that's why he did this on purpose!" Ruoqiang touched her face, her expression extremely confident.
Pei Jiuyan's face immediately flashed with murderous intent: "I did not break in on purpose! The door was open, and I knocked before coming in to make sure there was no response! Besides, I have never seen you before, so where would you get the lustful thoughts from?"
He then looked at Qin Suisui: "Wife, you have to believe me!"
Paman also looked at Palon and Pado, who were sitting at the head of the table, as well as several other clan elders, and testified for Pei Jiuyan: "When he knocked on the door, I was also there to make sure there was no movement inside."
Under normal circumstances, Pei Jiuyan wouldn't bother explaining so much, but things are different now. They're with the Snake Spirit Brigade, and Qin Suisui's master and senior brother are here. He has to make things clear!
Qin Suisui looked at him reassuringly. Of course she believed Pei Jiuyan. Not to mention that Pei Jiuyan was a soldier with strict military discipline, he wouldn't do such a thing.
Speaking of Pei Jiuyan himself, she had never seen him show a kind look to any female comrade other than herself. He really was just like his nickname, like a big block of ice to everyone.
Therefore, she didn't believe a single word Ruoqiang said.
She turned to look at Ruoqiang, whose face was arrogant: "You should know that my husband is a soldier, and we are in a military marriage. Do you know that your current behavior is destroying a military marriage?"
Today is a good day for the Snake Spirit Brigade. Qin Suisui didn't want their affairs to affect the entire brigade, so she could only issue a warning, hoping that Ruoqiang could have a sense of awe for the organization.
But Ruoqiang not only didn't, she also looked disdainful. She pointed her index finger at the ground beneath her feet and said, "You need to understand, this is our Snake Witch Tribe, so you have to abide by our rules! Either he divorces his wife and marries me, or I'll have a fight with you and kill you, and I can still marry him!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Jiuyan's icy gaze swept over her. Ruoqiang, who was usually fearless, felt a strange chill run down her spine under that look.
When she came to her senses, she was even more excited. Well done! Only a man with such courage deserves her! The reason she hadn't married was because she hadn't met the man she liked. Her grandfather said that she, Ruoqiang, deserved the best man in the world!
She's found the man now! He's handsome and has great charisma! She likes him even more now! All her efforts were worthwhile!
Qin Suisui was never a good-tempered person. Her initial forbearance was only for the sake of the overall situation. But Ruoqiang was so arrogant and even threatened to kill her. She could not tolerate it any longer. She immediately turned cold and said, "You mean, I will fight you to the death?"
Ruoqiang nodded proudly, "Yes!"
After saying that, she glanced at Qin Suisui sideways and said, "I've heard that all Han Chinese women are weak and frail, and they don't even know martial arts. You don't think I'm bullying you, do you?"
Qin Suisui chuckled: "Aren't you bullying me?"
She had seen Ruoqiang before when she visited the tribe last time; she had been hiding to the side, secretly watching Pei Jiuyan.
Qin Suisui had seen this kind of look many times. In the military region, in the surrounding brigades, and in the sports team, many female comrades would show the same look when they saw Pei Jiuyan.
But Ruoqiang's eyes held a different quality than theirs.
Pei Jiuyan said he knocked on the door and made sure there was no sound coming from inside before he came in. Now that I think about it, maybe it was all Ruoqiang's doing. She deliberately lured Pei Jiuyan in and made him fall into her trap.
She had been plotting against Pei Jiuyan for a long time!
Qin Suisui narrowed her eyes. She was a very possessive person. She wouldn't take what wasn't hers, but if someone dared to take what was hers, they had to be prepared to face her retaliation.
Upon hearing Qin Suisui accuse her of bullying someone, Ruoqiang protested, shouting in a shrill voice, "He barged in while I was changing clothes, ruining my reputation. I was just following the tribe's rules, how is that bullying? Can't you handle this?"
"If you can't handle this, then you should just admit defeat and give this man to me!"
Qin Suisui's lips curled into a slight smile: "You said you don't care about life or death, but I don't believe you. Although we are in the Serpent Spirit Brigade now, we must abide by the laws of my country. So please write a life-or-death agreement first, and have several clan elders sign and affix their fingerprints, so that no one will come looking for trouble with me later!"
Pei Jiuyan frowned; this Ruoqiang was clearly a trained fighter. He looked at Qin Suisui with concern: "Wife, I'll handle this myself."
"Fine, I'll write it!" Seeing Qin Suisui's arrogance and Pei Jiuyan's protectiveness, Ruoqiang felt even more annoyed and his competitive spirit was further aroused. He quickly grabbed paper and pen, ready to write a death pact.
Just as she finished writing a few strokes, Pado, who had been sitting upright with his hand on top, suddenly exclaimed in a panic: "You can't write!"
