After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted. The whole village was still very lively, and occasionally you could hear the cheerful sounds of children chasing and playing.
"Brother, look!" The second brother touched Kuiwu with his shoulder, with a teasing smile on his face and an ambiguous look in his eyes.
Kuiwu looked in the direction the second brother said, and saw Fuqiu coming out of the kitchen with a hand warmer in her hand. There was a faint smile on her face, especially those two cute dimples, which made Kuiwu want to reach out and poke them. He couldn't help but stare at her in a daze.
"Brother, go quickly!" The second brother pushed Kuiwu and urged.
Kui Wu didn't pay attention for a moment and was pushed by the second brother and staggered two steps. He looked back at the second brother and his friends, only to see that these brothers were gathered together looking at him as if they were watching a fun event.
Kui Wu shook his head helplessly, then turned and walked towards Fuqiu, with a hint of courtesy on his face, "Fuqiu, is there anything I can help you with?"
Fuqiu seemed to have gotten used to Kuiwu coming over to talk to her whenever he had something to do, and she no longer wanted to be shy and avoid him like before, as if she was used to it.
"No, it's just that the weather is colder at night than during the day, so I filled a kettle for you to warm your hands." Fuqiu said.
Kui Wu scratched his head, glanced at the back of Fuqiu's hand, which was slightly red from the cold, and said with some concern: "Fuqiu, your hands are frozen red. You have to take good care of yourself, okay?"
Fuqiu looked up and met Kuiwu's concerned eyes, and was slightly stunned for a moment...
Kui Wu's eyes were large, deep, and bright, reflecting her own face, which made Fuqiu feel a little confused.
"Brother Kuiwu, thank you for your concern. I'm fine." Fuqiu replied with a smile.
Kui Wu said with a smile: "Hey! I'll go with you."
Fuqiu said, "No need, Big Brother Kuiwu. You should chat with your brothers for a while. It's not easy for you to get together once."
After saying that, he trotted away with the thermos in his arms.
Just as she was passing by Lao Er and the others, a sudden voice nearly shook Fuqiu to her core...
"Sister-in-law, please go slower. If you fall, my brother will be very sad."
"Lao Wu!" Kui Wu was afraid that Lao Wu's words "sister-in-law" would scare Fuqiu, so he quickly spoke out to stop him.
Fuqiu's cheeks flushed red. She looked at these rough old men and was a little speechless. She only said two words: "Nonsense!"
After saying that, she stomped her feet and ran away. After all, she had not had much contact with the second brother and the others. Moreover, she knew that it was not good for a woman to argue with men.
Kui Wu watched Fuqiu finish running, strode up to Lao Wu, who was still smiling foolishly, and slapped him with his hand.
"You're not allowed to control your mouth! Can you call me that now?"
Lao Wu rubbed his head and said a little aggrievedly, "Brother, I didn't call you wrong. Don't you want Miss Fuqiu to be our sister-in-law? Do you want some other woman to be our sister-in-law?"
Kuiwu felt that it was wrong to answer yes or no, so he got angry and gave Laowu a slap.
Lao Wu covered his head, feeling even more aggrieved. Seeing Kui Wu staring at him, he suddenly dared not speak.
The second, third and fourth brothers crossed their arms and watched the fun without a care in the world. They watched the fifth brother being beaten without saying a word or helping, and looked very interested.
"Fifth brother, it's not unfair that your eldest brother hit you. After all, you have seen some of the world. She is married in a formal ceremony, so it's understandable for you to call her sister-in-law. But she hasn't agreed to your eldest brother yet. What will the girl think if you call her that?" The second brother explained.
"Didn't you guys scream too? Why did you only hit me?" Lao Wu muttered.
"We are not a fool like you. We only call you that behind your back. Have you ever seen us call you that in front of others? If Miss Fuqiu thinks that your brothers are all reckless people like you because of us, then her opinion of you will definitely change." said the second brother.
After hearing this, Lao Wu was stunned for a moment and said weakly, "Ah? Big brother, I didn't mean it. I'll go find Miss Fuqiu and apologize. I'll say that this sister-in-law didn't teach me to do that. I said it myself and it has nothing to do with you."
After saying that, he strode to the front hall to find Fuqiu.
Kui Wu was quick to act and grabbed Lao Wu's arm, saying, "Stop! Why are you leaving? I have no words to explain myself."
After being pulled over, Lao Wu heard Kui Wu's words and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother, I will definitely not say that next time."
Kui Wu looked helplessly at the silly fifth brother and said to the second brother, "Second brother, I leave the fifth brother's mouth to you. If I hear him say anything bad again, I will hold you accountable."
The second brother felt like thunder was rolling in the sky. He was just watching the fun and got himself involved. He said that he was shot even when he was lying down...
"Brother, Lao Wu's mouth is on his own body, how can I control it?"
"I don't care anyway. You can even sew his mouth shut." Kui Wu said, striding to the front yard.
"It's all your fault!" The second brother was so angry that he punched the fifth brother.
Poor Old Five, a five-foot tall man, was used as a punching bag by his eldest and second brothers, but he didn't even dare to say a word, let alone complain.
Kui Wu came to the front hall and saw that all the Xu family members were sitting in the front hall, chatting around the fireplace. There were so many people, but he saw Fuqiu at a glance.
When everyone saw Kui Wu come in, they all glanced at him.
Kui Wu scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said, "Miss, I have something to say to Fuqiu..."
"Oh..." Qibao let out a long "oh" and continued, "Then ask Fuqiu if she's willing."
Fuqiu was now behind Qibao, with her two index fingers intertwined and her head lowered, still bothered by Lao Wu's call of "sister-in-law".
"What do you want to say..." Fuqiu asked in a low voice.
Kui Wu looked at the people in the room and said awkwardly, "Can we go out and talk..."
Wang smiled and said, "Fuqiu, just go ahead. I see Kuiwu looks like he has something to say."
Fuqiu hesitated for a while and said, "Then... then I'll listen to the old lady."
After saying that, he walked out from behind Qibao, not even bothering to raise his head. He knew without looking that so many pairs of eyes were staring at him from behind.
Wang watched the two men walk out the door and said with a smile, "Look, these two are quite a good match. Kui Wu looks much better now than before. I guess good things are about to happen."
Xu Wenwu hadn't been at the Xu family for a while, so he didn't know much about Fuqiu. After hearing what his grandmother said, and remembering how Fuqiu had saved Huo Wendie, he asked, "Grandma, are you talking about Kuiwu and Fuqiu..."
Wang said, "Kui Wu likes Fu Ruo, but she hasn't agreed yet. It's no wonder, it's normal for girls to be shy."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wenwu nodded in understanding.
