The red marks on her face had long since disappeared; she had only kept wearing a veil to avoid these people knowing she was being harassed.
But he had his back to her and was much taller than her. He had been whispering to her earlier, but now, even on tiptoe, she could only barely reach his neck. She couldn't speak to him.
Hu Wenhua's face turned cold, and he said seriously, "What does it have to do with you whether I take a son-in-law or marry into his family?"
Fan Erzhu pursed his lips and muttered, "My good intentions have been taken for granted."
Fan Sanzhu shouted loudly, "You don't know, do you? Her mother has her eye on our family! It's because her mother can't give birth to a son, so she's eyeing someone else's son!"
My mother said that all the sons in our family are precious and worthy of marrying rich young ladies, so why should they have to marry into her family?
Fan Dazhu, with his arms crossed, said to Hu Wenhua with certainty, "I'm the eldest in the Fan family. If I don't get married, none of my younger brothers and sisters can get married. My mother said that her family is after me!"
Hu Wenhua heard a small, timid voice behind him: "No, my mother didn't think much of them at all, and she certainly didn't want them to marry into the family."
The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, just like her personality.
Hu Wenhua felt his throat was even drier.
He composed himself and said to the three men, "Alright, don't you brothers know your own worth?"
Stop calling me "your mother" all the time. If you don't have a mirror when you get home, cough, go get a basin of water and look at yourself!
Fan Dazhu and the other two had faces as dark as the bottom of a pot.
What does he mean by that?
You look down on those brothers?
They were one of only two, no, now only three, to have a brick house in Shanshui Village! They owned twenty acres of fertile land, as well as land and forest.
The Ding family are outsiders, with no land, no forests, and only one daughter who is considered to have no descendants. Why would they look down on them?
The three of them stood up straight, their eyes fixed on Hu Wenhua.
Hu Wenhua was not afraid. He clenched his fan-like hands into fists as big as sandbags!
Their arms are muscular, and their arms are even thicker than their thighs.
Why are they not growing much, but Hu Wenhua has grown taller and stronger?
Let alone the three brothers, even the whole family combined wouldn't be enough to beat him, right?
Fan Dazhu swallowed hard and took a step back.
Fan Erzhu and Fan Sanzhu also unconsciously took a few steps back.
"Wait a minute," Hu Wenhua called out.
The three didn't want to obey, but their deep-seated fear stopped them in their tracks.
Hu Wenhua stepped forward, exuding a terrifying aura. "That young lady and her family never even looked at you. Don't flatter yourselves. Don't come here again."
If I find out, you'll be living a life where you slur your words and drink water without them coming out, understand?
Fan Dazhu's eyes were fierce, but he dared not look at Hu Wenhua.
Otherwise, if you really get into a fight with your elders, even if you win, no, you can't win at all!
Hu Wenhua is as strong as a small mountain, who can beat him?
The three of them huffed and puffed, without uttering any harsh words, and simply turned and left.
After everyone left, only Hu Wenhua and Ding Jiajia remained in the empty outdoor space.
Hu Wenhua suddenly felt that the weather was too hot, and his face and body felt hot.
He didn't turn around, his gaze only lingering on the herbs drying in front of him, and asked awkwardly, "Do you like pork?"
"Huh?" Ding Jiajia's eyes widened, not understanding why the topic had suddenly come up.
