Inside the bathhouse, Su Lei was dumbfounded, everyone else was dumbfounded, even the thugs on the ground were dumbfounded. Was being a live-in son-in-law really that powerful?
He Ci stomped on Liu Jun's chest. "What! Weren't you pretty capable just now? Get up and continue?"
Liu Jun never expected that there would be someone in the village who wasn't afraid of death. Where did this person come from?
"Do you know who I am? You'll regret it if you offend me."
The onlookers couldn't stand it anymore. These people were thugs, and now that He Ci had offended them, he was sure to suffer the consequences.
"My name is He Ci. Do you bastards remember that? If not, I don't mind helping you remember it."
Liu Jun and the others quickly begged for mercy. They used to be the ones bullying others, but today they had met their match.
"Brother, I was wrong. I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Please forgive me!"
He Ci withdrew his foot, then added a warning.
"Go back and behave yourself. If I find out you're still bullying people, I'll beat you up every time I see you."
The people on the ground got up, quickly admitted their mistake, and then slunk away. The bathhouse fell silent for a moment as the group of bullies ran off.
This was the first time Su Lei had ever seen those thugs get dealt with. He never expected his brother-in-law to be so powerful that even the thugs were afraid of him.
On the way back, Su Lei looked at He Ci with adoration, and He Ci almost thought that he was going to fall in love with him.
"Brother-in-law, you're amazing! Can you teach me a few moves?"
He Ci didn't even glance at him. "You're too weak."
Su Lei wanted to punch someone, but he couldn't beat He Ci, who had just taken on five people and beaten them so badly. He didn't dare to make a move.
Su Lei put his arm around He Ci's shoulder in a fawning manner. This was the first person besides Qi Yan, Lu Zhouxiaolin, and the others who dared to put their arm around He Ci's shoulder.
"We're all family now, don't be so stingy."
He Ci could tell that his brother-in-law was simple-minded. Although they had only spent a few hours together, he had basically figured out Su Lei's personality.
Back home, Su Ning had already prepared the meal. Su Qiang and Li Mei went to the flower garden, while Su Tian, Sun Man, and Wang Meng were helping to serve the dishes in the main room. To He Ci's surprise, Zhu Zhou was also there.
Su Tian took He Ci's dirty clothes and put them by the sink. Su Lei pulled He Ci towards the main room. Su An was a little intimidated by her brother-in-law.
Zhu Zhou greeted him with a smile, "Are you settling in well here?"
He Ci frowned. "What are you doing here?"
"I invited Zhu Zhou here. You didn't know this when you first arrived. We are childhood friends and often get together for meals."
Su Tian was afraid that He Ci would misunderstand, so when she suggested inviting Zhu Zhou along, Su Ning did not refuse.
He Ci knew that Zhu Zhou had feelings for Su Ning. The two had grown up together, and if Su Ning really liked Zhu Zhou, then it wouldn't matter to him.
After the food was served, Su Ning pulled He Ci to sit down. Su Lei opened a ceramic bottle, which should have contained wine that He Ci had never seen before and did not know what brand it was.
He Ci looked at the large bowl in front of him, where a bottle of wine was almost half empty. He then looked at Zhu Zhou and Su Lei's bowls, which were about the same size as his own. He Ci...
The three girls didn't drink alcohol; they only had juice in front of them. Su An, needless to say, was too young to drink alcohol.
Su Lei picked up the bowl in front of him and greeted He Ci and Zhu Zhou.
"Come on, brothers, let's have a drink. Brother-in-law, you've just arrived, and we don't have much to offer you, so please don't mind."
Zhu Zhou was surprised that Su Lei had already called him brother-in-law in just one day. It seems that this young master gets along quite well with Su Ning's family.
The three clinked their bowls together. It was He Ci's first time drinking this kind of wine. It was spicy and the alcohol content must be quite high. It was made from pure grains. Although it couldn't compare to the wines he had drunk before, the taste was still quite good.
Su Lei and Zhu Zhou only took a sip or two as a symbolic gesture. When they saw the bowl in front of He Ci, everyone at the table was stunned.
Su Lei gave He Ci a thumbs up, "My goodness, brother-in-law, you're amazing!"
He Ci looked at his empty bowl, then at the bowls of the other two. No wonder everyone was staring at him; he seemed to have drunk too much.
