"Ah Chen".
Amo quickly grabbed Achen and said, "In some Miao villages, only sons-in-law are allowed to live with their families. This doesn't violate our customs! It's not good if you hit Mu Adian in public."
"Amo, do you think I did this for this reason?"
"Then...can you tell me why?"
Ah Chen's eyes reddened. "Two years ago, the person who entered the county's No. 1 High School with the highest score in the entire county was me, not him!"
"Mu Adian replaced you?"
Ah Chen nodded emphatically, then strode toward Mu Adian, not letting the eight jackals follow.
This is a private matter for the Mu family of Heiwu Village; it is a public matter for the twelve branches of the Miao ethnic group.
At this moment, Mu Adian was chatting and laughing with a Miao girl under a big tree.
The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her long hair was tied up and she wore a silver flower-shaped headdress.
The headdress features various floral and bird patterns, with silver chains and silver plates hanging around it.
As for clothing, the girl is wearing a pleated skirt today.
The pleated skirt has many layers, with the hem overlapping, making it look very gorgeous.
Its exquisite craftsmanship and unique design showcase the beauty and wisdom of Miao women.
This is the Long Skirt Miao branch, one of the twelve major branches of the Miao people.
The girl in the long skirt is very beautiful, and judging from the silver jewelry she wears, her family must be well-off.
Because, among the thousands of girls who came to ask for flower ribbons today, she had a lot of silver ornaments.
If a Miao girl is not wearing silver jewelry on an important occasion, she will be criticized.
In Miao culture, silver ornaments are not just decorations, but also symbols of status and wealth.
Therefore, the Miao people have a saying: "No silver or flowers, no girl."
Unmarried women, in particular, must wear silver jewelry on important occasions.
Mu Achen strode forward, but slowed down as he got closer, his dark eyes fixed on Mu Adian beside the Miao girl in the long dress.
Mu Adian wasn't much older than Achen, but he was Achen's real cousin.
Mu Achen's tragic fate in his previous life, apart from being beaten, all began with his place being taken by someone else.
Before his rebirth, Ah Chen's life in this life was also miserable.
How could he not hate?
"Ah Chen? You're Ah Chen?"
As Achen approached, he was recognized by a girl from the Miao branch who wore a long skirt. However, judging from the hint of doubt in her surprised expression, she seemed unsure whether the approaching Miao man was their future Miao king.
But as soon as Ah Chen nodded, the girl immediately placed her hand on her chest.
After giving a slight bow to Achen, she smiled and said:
“Adian was just telling me that he and you, Achen, have a deep bond. He even talked about how you used to play together when you were little, and said he would take me to see you when you’re done with your work.”
"Ah Chen, it's really nice to see you."
"Oh, by the way, my name is Aning."
This girl, Aning, from the Miao branch, is also very pretty. It seems she was drinking with Achen yesterday.
However, Ah Chen wasn't sure; he just recognized the face.
But Ah Ning's words made him relax his furrowed brows, and he called her "Sister Ah Ning".
This made Ah Ning very happy.
This is the future Miao King! Logically speaking, even if A Ning is older than A Chen, A Chen doesn't need to call her "elder sister" according to custom, but A Chen still did.
However, compared to A-Ning's excitement, A-Dian next to her was not so happy.
However, to demonstrate how close his relationship with Ah Chen was, Ah Dian actually smiled, stepped forward, put his arm around Ah Chen's shoulder, and said:
"Ah Chen, look at you, you're already the future Miao King, and you've even brought Ah Rui under your wing to train. As your older brother, I don't know how to thank you enough."
"Even though you're so busy, you still came over to say hello and called Ah Ning 'sister.' Not bad, your brother was right about you."
These words instantly ignited Adian's vanity.
But the next second, just as A Ning, a member of the Miao branch of the long skirt, was feeling proud, A Chen suddenly smacked A Dian with a mouthful of melon seeds.
Snap---
That sound was so loud and so crisp!
The beating left Mu Adian dumbfounded and A Ning stunned.
Even the Miao people not far from you gathered around.
The Miao people, who were about to take action, immediately calmed down when they saw that it was the future Miao King, Mu Achen.
To observe and watch.
"Ah Chen, you... did Ah Dian do something wrong? If he did something wrong, I'll make him apologize to you."
After regaining her senses, Ah Ning immediately expressed her stance.
But Ah Chen asked, "Are you engaged to Mu Adian?"
"Not yet. He came to ask for my flower ribbon, and during the Lusheng tune, he agreed to become my son-in-law. I had a good impression of him, so I gave him the flower ribbon! I only found out he was your brother when we were singing folk songs just now."
"I understand! Sister Aning, I just saw your birth registration at the clan elder's. You're a little older than me, so I should call you 'elder sister'. Since you two aren't engaged yet, please don't interfere in this matter and step aside."
"Achen---"
"Get out of the way."
Ah Chen's voice was slightly deep.
Ah Ning was startled. Even if she brought her flowers to Mu Adian, she wouldn't dare to stop the future Miao King.
Ah Chen glanced at Mu Adian, who looked aggrieved, and asked with a smile, "It's true that we're cousins, but are we really that close? Since you say we're close, then tell me how you've treated me."
"Even if it's just one thing, I'll acknowledge that you, Mu Adian, are truly good to me, Mu Achen."
“But if you can’t answer, I will break all four of your limbs today.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Chen turned around, and Ah Zhuang, who had been surrounding him, immediately handed him a wooden stick.
"Mu Achen, what do you want to do? What do you want to do?"
Mu Adian was terrified. He screamed and kept backing away.
