Chapter 67 Gua gua gua, so cool.
According to the custom in Shangfeng County, on major festivals like Mid-Autumn Festival, daughters and sons-in-law usually go home after dinner.
That's why Xiang Chun and Lu Ping had plenty of time to argue and explain on the wasteland beside the small river.
However, even Xiang Yao did not expect that she had only said a few words to Lu Ping during the meal, but the situation became so serious that the two of them were about to quarrel.
Of course, Xiang Chun seemed to be very clumsy in speaking, and it was Lu Ping who vented his dissatisfaction almost throughout the whole process, and incorporated a strong sense of PUA into every word and sentence.
Before Xiang Yao came here, it was an era of female awakening and information explosion. These PUA methods had been cracked by girls in various forms, so she could see through them at a glance.
However, in this era, this situation does not seem to be uncommon, and even women themselves often do not think it is a problem.
Just as Xiang Chun wanted to explain herself during lunch, her family members couldn't wait to stand on Lu Ping's side and criticized their "ignorant" daughter with even harsher words than her husband Lu Ping.
Tsk.
Xiang Yao was not very happy.
This feeling is like a person's eyes and ears are covered with a veil, unable to see or hear, and helpless in the face of danger that can be smelled instinctively.
This requires a breakthrough, she thought.
"Xiaochun, you know what my mother thinks. She's been unhappy about your inability to have a baby for a long time. If I hadn't been speaking up for you, we wouldn't be able to live in peace."
Lu Ping raised his hand and gently brushed a strand of Xiang Chun's hair, speaking in a gentle tone.
Xiang Chun lowered her head, and no one could see her expression clearly.
After a few seconds, she nodded gently and said, "I know. I also know that mother is anxious. I will endure it for us."
Lu Ping chuckled, seeming somewhat satisfied. "Not only in our home, but also at my mother-in-law's place, you shouldn't always have such a sullen face. Otherwise, others will think I'm really bullying you, right?"
Xiang Chun hummed a "hmm" and responded obediently: "I will."
"Also, Yaoyao, this little girl," Lu Ping continued, "I think she has grown up crooked. You should stay away from her and don't let her develop any crazy habits."
Xiang Chun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he saw Lu Ping staring at him with his lips curled up. Knowing that he didn't want to hear his explanation, he had to shut his mouth, but did not nod.
Lu Ping chuckled, pulled her hand, and said sympathetically: "I know you care about your mother's family, but you are already a member of our Lu family. You can't think about your mother's family for everything."
"But," he squeezed Xiang Chun's hand, using some force, "aren't there quite a few guys in our team who still don't have a partner? I think, why don't you bring one up?"
Xiang Chun subconsciously wanted to nod, but when he nodded halfway, he thought of something and quickly changed his mind to shaking his head.
Her tone was a little anxious and pleading: "Yaoyao is still young, she is not in a hurry to find a partner, and, and the ones in our team... are not good..."
Lu Ping held her hand even harder, causing Xiang Chun so much pain that she couldn't help but shrink her body slightly and tried to break free cautiously.
"I think it's good." Lu Ping's face did not change his smile, and he changed the tone of negotiation to command, "Later you will--"
"Hello——"
Xiang Yao's voice came straight from above, interrupting Lu Ping's words.
The couple had never expected that even though they had found a place where no one was around to talk, they were still overheard by the person they were talking about.
Lu Ping couldn't help but loosen his grip on Xiang Chun's hand. Xiang Chun retracted his hand reflexively, looked at Xiang Yao anxiously, and said awkwardly:
"Yaoyao, why are you here..."
Xiang Yao glanced at her hand which was abnormally red, sneered, looked away and stared straight at Lu Ping.
"I was sleeping here, but a fly kept buzzing around my ear, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I woke up."
This metaphor was so obvious that even the most uneducated person could understand that Xiang Yao was implicitly mocking them.
Lu Ping's expression froze for a moment, but then he immediately regained his composure. He met Xiang Yao's gaze without flinching or avoiding it.
"Yaoyao, I'm so sorry. I was so busy talking to your eldest sister that I didn't realize you were nearby. Look, we were just talking about you."
Xiang Yao looked at him with a fake smile: "Yeah, I heard it. Not only did you talk about me, you also wanted to be a matchmaker for me, right?"
She was really puzzled. These relatives were so keen on matchmaking for her. Could it be that they couldn't bear to see her have an easy life? Could it be that they couldn't wait to push her into the fire pit?
Xiang Yao pursed her lips and said, "Thank you so much, but I don't need it."
Lu Ping's smile was as warm as the spring breeze, and there was nothing unusual about him. He calmly looked at the girl in front of him whose figure became more and more graceful as she grew older. He couldn't help but think in his heart that it would be better for her to marry into their family.
So he ignored Xiang Yao's last words and said, "How can we not need it? You are at the age to get married, and you don't have any parents, so you have to ask us relatives to help you."
Xiang Yao had heard the same words several times in a short period of time, but the words from his brother-in-law seemed particularly unpleasant.
Xiang Yao put away his smile and said with a stern face: "What do you mean I have no parents? Brother-in-law, although my father has passed away, my mother is still alive. I hope you can respect her a little."
Lu Ping didn't expect the little girl to suddenly become so angry with a cold face. He could hardly maintain the smile on his face and said coldly, "Girl, I'm just concerned about you."
Xiang Yao: “No need.”
Originally, she was not planning to show up when the couple was talking, but when her brother-in-law mentioned her, it was obviously not right.
If she hadn't interrupted, Xiang Chun might have really listened to her husband and turned around to ask the Xiang family to introduce her to someone.
Humph, how annoying.
Xiang Yao glanced at Xiang Chun and said, "Sister, I'm serious. You'd better not interfere in my affairs."
Xiang Chun glanced at his cousin, then subconsciously glanced at Lu Ping. He wanted to nod, but was a little hesitant.
Xiang Yao took a breath imperceptibly and felt that Xiang Chun's reaction was even more abnormal.
She frowned slightly, a little confused as to why some PUA's words could make such a cheerful person become so timid.
Looking at Lu Ping again, he looked like a decent man. When he saw her looking at him, he smiled in a self-proclaimed elegant manner, which made her feel a chill.
But she couldn't say anything. It was like she knew that the man looked at her with a strange look in his eyes, and that he might have some dirty thoughts in his mind, but as long as he didn't put them into practice, she had no way to expose him.
This is really annoying.
"Also, brother-in-law," Xiang Yao looked at Lu Ping and warned, "Don't think that I don't understand what you said. I advise you to stop thinking about it. I'm not someone you can manipulate."
After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, you guys continue talking. I'm leaving."
After saying that, she turned around and left without even looking at their expressions.
However, after walking only a dozen steps, a crisp "pop" sound, mixed with a cry of pain that was tried hard to suppress, suddenly reached his ears, causing Xiang Yao to stop involuntarily.
She had sensitive ears, so how could she not hear that this was the sound of a slap hitting flesh, and the voice coming from Xiang Chun.
Xiang Chun probably feared that she had not gone far, so he did not dare to speak even a little louder and tried hard to control the noise, but she still heard it.
Xiang Yao's face was as gloomy as water. He turned around decisively, reappeared on the slope, and rushed down again, blocking Lu Ping's hand that was about to attack him.
"Lü Ping! What are you doing!" Xiang Yao glared at Lü Ping, his eyes filled with anger. He called him by his first name, not even using a respectful title. "You actually hit someone! Are you crazy?"
Neither Lu Ping nor Xiang Chun expected that Xiang Yao had heard them. Xiang Chun quickly turned his face away, not wanting to show his most embarrassing side in front of Xiang Yao.
As for Lu Ping, the ferocious and unconcealed glee on his face hadn't had time to subside when he was suddenly caught off guard. He was startled at first, then covered up his original expression with a smile, withdrew his hand, and said nonchalantly:
"I was just joking with your sister. What are you doing? Why did you come back so suddenly?"
"Are you kidding?" Xiang Yao was so angry that she almost laughed. She twisted Xiang Chun's face and looked at the red handprint on it. She questioned Lu Ping, "Is this what you call a joke? Hitting someone just for fun?"
Lu Ping glanced at Xiang Yao's embarrassed face under his fingertips and said indifferently: "Why do you have to meddle in our affairs?"
Xiang Yao's eyes turned cold, and she had no expression on her face: "But Xiang Chun is my eldest sister, she is my family, so I have the right to intervene."
Lu Ping reached out and grabbed Xiang Chun's arm, pulling her to his side with force. He looked at Xiang Yao provocatively:
"What right do you, a little girl, have to interfere in the affairs of my Lu family? I'm a grown man, so what's wrong with me teaching my wife a lesson? How does it bother you?"
Xiang Yao looked at Lu Pingyuan's exposed face and wanted to slap him in the face immediately.
But she also knew that there was a huge disparity in strength between men and women, and if she went alone, she would most likely not gain the upper hand.
So he said coldly: "Let my eldest sister go, let's go home now and explain the matter of beating people. I want to see if I can't do it, and other family members can't do it either."
Lu Ping was unmoved by what he heard. Instead, he turned and looked at Xiang Chun: "Xiaochun, tell me, I just hit you in a hurry, and the force was not strong. Why did you have to make a big fuss about it and let the whole family know about it?"
He raised his hand and gently stroked Xiang Chun's red face, his voice seemed to beguile: "You know, sometimes I can't control my temper, but I don't really want to hit you. You will forgive me, right?"
Xiang Chun felt the gentle touch on his face, and nodded uncontrollably, as if he had been in any other similar situation before.
Xiang Yao was so disappointed when she saw this. This pua domestic violence man of hers was taught a lesson and he actually started a dyeing factory in front of her!
It doesn’t matter if she can’t win. At this moment, she must have fun first.
So she gathered up all her strength, and while Lu Ping was pretending to be affectionate, she slapped him hard, like a violent storm, at his shameless and thick face.
“Snap—”
Phew, that feels great.
