Su Chenggong waited for Su Chengguo halfway there, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him following.
He went up and checked around: "Are you alright?"
The two had discussed it on the way. Rather than being passive, they decided to take the initiative, stage a falling out between the brothers, and then flatter Zhao Jixue. After this operation, Zhao Jixue would soon make a move to achieve his goal.
After all, the opportunity had been presented to Zhao Jixue.
But acting should be natural and realistic. It's impossible for the Zhao family to be injured while their own brothers are completely unharmed.
So those two punches he threw were genuine.
"It's okay. I dodged when you hit me. I'm not stupid. Just watch me. Let's see how Zhao Jixue is going to make money for me."
Su Chengguo has now realized that Zhao Jixue intends to start with money.
"We can't be careless. We have to tell our family about everything from now on. We can't keep anything from them."
Su Chenggong became serious. After this performance, all subsequent interactions with Zhao Jixue would be handled by Su Chenggong, so she had to be extremely cautious.
Su Chengguo also became serious and replied, "Don't worry, big brother. I still need to buy a lot of gold for Chunmei. Xueguang and Xuekuo haven't been admitted to university yet, our parents haven't been able to enjoy their retirement, A'luo hasn't found her true love yet, and Tiantian hasn't grown up yet."
Behind him are his family waiting for him to protect them.
To give his parents a happy old age and to protect his sister and children, how could he not be cautious?
"Let's go home."
Su Chenggong patted Su Chengguo on the shoulder.
"But to be fair, today's meal was pretty good. His sister-in-law must be furious... We're really in sync, hehehe."
Su Chengguo put his arm around Su Chenggong's shoulder and praised his excellent performance again. Finally, he concluded that he would do even better next time.
When they got home, everyone was already asleep. The two brothers tidied up and went back to their rooms.
I should naturally tell my family about this.
Su Chengguo hugged Zhou Chunmei and talked about his excellent performance. Zhou Chunmei laughed after hearing it: "You really stepped on Zhou Li's feet a few times? She must hate you to death."
Zhou Chunmei kept laughing, and Su Chengguo, puzzled by her words, asked, "Why? If you're going to hate someone, you should hate Zhao Jixue, right?"
"You don't know, Zhou Li has a very serious case of paronychia. Her feet are always in pain. You stepped on her paronychia, and she must have been in so much pain that she couldn't walk. She hates Zhao Jixue, but she must hate you even more!"
Zhou Chunmei said with a smile, laughing non-stop just thinking about the scene.
Su Chengguo suddenly realized and sighed, "But she definitely can't hate me, because it was chaotic at the time and she didn't see who stepped on it. Hahaha, who would have thought that? I should have stepped on it twice more."
"You've put on this act with your older brother, so you'd better watch out for what happens next."
Zhou Chunmei leaned against Su Chengguo and gave her some advice.
Su Chengguo's hands were not very honest. He said softly, "Well, I eat well and am full at home. I won't fall for any tricks outside."
"I still need to buy gold for Chunmei, but now I want to redeem it once. Chunmei is the best, she'll definitely agree, right?"
The amount of alcohol Zhao Jixue drank wouldn't get him drunk at all; he was just pretending to be drunk for Zhao Jixue's benefit.
This would make Zhao Jixue think he was easy to fool, while also getting some information out of him.
He's back now, clear-headed, with his wife in his arms, but he still can't sleep...
Zhou Chunmei's voice was tinged with coquettish caution: "You're such a busybody... keep your voice down!"
She couldn't sleep well either if she disagreed; she knew how difficult Su Chengguo was.
Since I'll have to agree to it anyway, I might as well agree sooner and get it over with so I can sleep better.
As night deepened, Su Chengguo finally drifted off to sleep, completely satisfied.
Even though it was a dream, he felt something was strange.
Surrounded by a vast expanse of white, Su Chengguo sat down to meditate and muttered to herself, "How come it's like a fairyland? Was I a deity in my past life?"
"Oh my god, what is that? Can a mouse grow this big?"
Su Chengguo suddenly exclaimed and jumped up on the spot, even making a martial arts-like gesture as if she was about to fight, her palm forming a snake head shape and tapping.
"Don't come any closer! See? I know Snake Fist! Believe me or not, I can kill you with one punch!"
Su Chengguo was saying tough things, but he was actually sweating bullets because he was terrified of mice.
I'm scared of even a tiny rat, let alone a giant one!
"Ah—don't hit me, don't hit me, waaaaah—"
The man in gray was also frightened by Su Chengguo and immediately started to cry. The little princess's uncle was so fierce. He was very fragile and was really afraid of being beaten to death!
The chubby big rat took several steps back, waving its chubby little paws repeatedly, and even cried.
Those large, dark eyes actually produced tears.
Su Chengguo was completely stunned, and couldn't help but think: God, where did you come from?
Where is this place? It doesn't seem like he died suddenly in his sleep and ended up on the road to the underworld.
But this rat, weighing at least three pounds, can even speak human language—who could accept that?
Su Chengguo closed her eyes, then opened them again, and the big rat was still there.
As Su Chengguo looked at it, she couldn't help but feel sorry for it. It was still a rat, but why did it act like a child?
"Hey, stop crying! I won't hit you! Now let me go home right now, or if I really do, you'll be dead!"
Su Chengguo looked around. Since he saw such a strange person, it must be him causing trouble, taking advantage of his timidity to scare him. He wanted to go home as soon as possible.
“Su Chengguo, my name is Huiyi. We’ve already met today. You kicked over the cage where I was sleeping…”
The man in gray sobbed as he spoke, not daring to get too close to Su Chengguo. The sight of Su Chengguo's snake-shaped hand made his legs tremble, and he dared not approach her at all. He kept a close eye on Su Chengguo, and if she took even half a step towards him, he would instantly retreat two steps!
The man in gray spoke haltingly, and Su Chengguo listened and fell into deep thought.
He was very clear-headed and knew that he wasn't completely dreaming, but this place seemed like a dream. Su Chengguo quickly came up with a reasonable explanation: it was a dream message.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't see it at the time, I didn't kick you over on purpose."
Su Chengguo recalled that he had kicked over a lot of things, including a cage, but he didn't really notice what was inside.
Fortunately, he didn't see it, otherwise he would have lost his composure.
"Zhao Jixue captured me. I begged the little princess for help, and she told me to ask you for help, saying you could help me regain my freedom. Su Chengguo, can you please help me?"
The man in gray looked at Su Chengguo with pleading eyes. He could tell that Su Chengguo didn't like him at all, and he felt uneasy, worried that Su Chengguo would reject him.
The little princess is still an infant. If Su Chengguo doesn't help, then no one can save him. If he does bad things, he really will die.
