Chapter 21 How could he withstand Su Wanwan’s abuse?
The cicadas' chirping is disturbing, it is already deep summer.
The door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and Uncle Pei huddled in the corner, trembling. His left leg dragged on the ground, as if it had turned into a pool of soft meat.
Pei Changfeng closed the courtyard door, slowly took out a piece of bamboo, walked forward, and looked at Uncle Pei's leg, "Does your leg still hurt today?"
Uncle Pei was sobbing and unable to speak. He had swallowed a needle and his voice was hoarse. But what was more terrifying than swallowing the needle was Pei Changfeng. Pei Changfeng was a devil.
"Why don't you speak?" Pei Changfeng chuckled, lifted up Uncle Pei's trouser leg with his hand, and looked at his masterpiece, a leg with broken bones.
Uncle Pei nodded yesterday and said it hurt, but in the blink of an eye a piece of flesh was cut off by a bamboo stick. He shook his head in panic, and because of fear, tears and saliva kept flowing out, and he trembled constantly.
"It doesn't hurt?" Pei Changfeng laughed softly, "But my legs hurt a lot."
He gently scratched it with the bamboo stick, and Uncle Pei rolled on the ground, like a shrimp in a frying pan, trying his best to escape the fate of being eaten.
Pei Changfeng remembered how his legs had been aching day and night, and all the suffering he had endured. He was not a saint, and he would never let go of any grudge or bear a grudge.
But this revenge was not enough. Pei Changfeng wanted Uncle Pei to watch him die and rot, just like he did at that time.
Wang Laizi found his way all the way to Su Wanwan's house. There were many people there during the day, so he was tricked. Now it was dark and no one else was around, so he could do whatever he wanted to this bitch Su Wanwan.
He laughed lewdly, and thought of the tooth he had lost. His expression became ferocious. And that sickly guy had made him lose face today. If he didn't take revenge, how would he, Wang Laizi, survive in the future?
The gate of Pei Changfeng's house was easy to pry open. It only needed to be gently picked open with a piece of wire.
Wang Laizi took out the knockout drug in his hand, ready to knock Su Wanwan and Pei Changfeng unconscious as soon as he entered, and then make things easier. He would break Pei Changfeng's other leg, and then give Su Wanwan, the bitch, a severe lesson.
As soon as he entered the yard, he was hit on the head. Before he could shout, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground motionless.
Pei Changfeng collected the knockout drug he had found from Uncle Pei's house, then dragged Wang Laizi away.
Su Wanwan slept soundly. When she woke up, she used her hands and feet to cling to Pei Changfeng's body. Pei Changfeng had also woken up a long time ago, but was pressed down by Su Wanwan and could not move.
Meeting his dark eyes, Su Wanwan felt guilty for a rare moment, "Husband, you woke up really early."
Pei Changfeng came back at dawn. He was feeling a dull headache at the moment. As soon as he lay down on the bed, he was entangled by Su Wanwan.
Seeing that she woke up, Pei Changfeng took her hand off his neck, and took her legs off his waist. He turned his back to her silently, without the strength to speak.
According to Su Wanwan's experience, Pei Changfeng's temper was called morning grumpiness. She was a very tolerant wife and could naturally tolerate her husband's little temper. She quickly got up, dressed, and went to wash up.
After she left, Pei Changfeng rubbed his eyes, glanced at the wound on his hand, and frowned.
After washing her face, Su Wanwan walked around the yard and planned to surround the wall with a circle of bamboo thorns after dinner to prevent anyone from coming in at night.
She first fried Pei Changfeng's medicine, and then went to make two egg pancakes for breakfast. The eggs were sent by Widow Liu two days ago. She sent a lot of them, so two were enough for her every day.
After baking the pancakes, Pei Changfeng was already decocting medicine in the yard. He was wearing a bamboo green gown that had been washed so much that it looked pale. It was a set he had made when he was still healthy, but now it felt a little empty.
Su Wanwan was determined to take care of Pei Changfeng's health. She brought the cake over and said, "Husband, have breakfast quickly. I will kill a chicken and make soup for you in the afternoon."
"No need," Pei Changfeng rubbed his head which was swollen and painful due to sleepiness, "Miss Su, take a rest."
Su Wanwan was not idle. She took a bite of the cake and squatted beside Pei Changfeng, showing him the wall of the yard. "I will climb up and install the bamboo thorns later. My husband, please help me with the ladder."
"Have you made the mortar?" Pei Changfeng met Su Wanwan's clear eyes and knew that she hadn't done it yet. "I'll make the mortar first and then you can install the bamboo thorns."
"Okay, my husband is very thoughtful."
It is not difficult to make mortar. You can borrow some lime from Aunt Li's house, and then mix it with the cooked glutinous rice paste and soil to make the simplest mortar.
While Su Wanwan went to borrow the lime, Pei Changfeng had already boiled the glutinous rice water, and it would take some time to make it into a slurry.
Su Wanwan moved a ladder and wanted to climb up to see how to install the bamboo thorns. She climbed up in no time. The ladder was shaky. Pei Changfeng was frightened and went over to support her.
Before he got close, Su Wanwan fell down with a cry of "Ouch". Pei Changfeng's eyebrows jumped and he subconsciously reached out to catch her, using his hand as a cushion to hold Su Wanwan firmly.
When she didn't feel any pain when she landed, Su Wanwan knew something was wrong. She quickly got up and touched Pei Changfeng's body distressedly, "Husband, how are you? Husband, don't scare me!"
Pei Changfeng raised his hand with a pale face, and Su Wanwan hugged his waist and tried to pick him up.
Pei Changfeng is much heavier now, how can she easily pick him up?
Not only did they fail to pick each other up, the two of them rolled several times on the ground.
"Ouch!"
Widow Liu quickly covered her son's eyes.
Su Wanwan stood up awkwardly, "Why are you here?"
Widow Liu blushed as she watched Pei Changfeng, who was being pressed to the point of dying, "I bought the primer that Changfeng wanted. Didn't I ask Chaochao to learn to read with me? This, this...haha."
Pei Changfeng stood up shakily, avoided Su Wanwan's hand that wanted to help him, patted the dust off his body, and went back to his room with his crutch.
Su Chaochao was young and ignorant, and thought that her brother-in-law was beaten. She thought that her sister was becoming more and more cruel, so she hid behind Widow Liu and dared not say a word.
"Wanwan," Widow Liu was Su Wanwan's verbal mother after all, so she still had to remind her of some things, "I remember that Changfeng is not feeling well, right?"
"Well, it's not very good," Su Wanwan was puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing, it's just..." Widow Liu covered Su Chaochao's ears, "His health is so poor, you should stop making things difficult for him."
"What do you mean?" Su Wanwan frowned slightly, "He can get out of bed now. It's good for him to move more. He can't lie down all the time."
Widow Liu blushed again, "But this will hurt your energy, why don't you wait for Changfeng to recuperate?"
"How can holding onto a ladder hurt your energy?" Su Wanwan didn't understand. "He saw I was about to fall and came to catch me. It seems that he was really pressed down hard. I have to go and take a look."
"Why is your face so red?"
Widow Liu touched her face and just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. "It's too hot. I'm red from the heat. Don't worry about me. Go see your man first."
Pei Changfeng changed into a clean robe and was pulled back by Su Wanwan as soon as he pushed the door open.
"Let me see if you have any bruises or purples on your body. Are your bones okay? Did I break any bones?"
Seeing that she was getting more and more exaggerated, Pei Changfeng said, "I'm fine, I just fell down, it's nothing serious."
If Pei Changfeng wasn't so reserved, Su Wanwan really wanted to strip him down. Seeing him say that, she could only say, "Okay, if you feel uncomfortable somewhere, you must tell me, don't force yourself."
"Thank you Miss Su for your concern."
In fact, Su Wanwan was not heavy and did not hurt Pei Changfeng. His face turned pale because he was strangled when Su Wanwan picked him up.
"Okay," Su Wanwan said, "I only care about you so much because we are husband and wife."
Pei Changfeng nodded, indicating his agreement.
After going out, Widow Liu asked Su Chaochao to find Pei Changfeng to learn how to read, and she helped Su Wanwan to make glutinous rice paste.
When she heard that someone climbed over the wall at night, Widow Liu also became worried. She just didn't want to be beaten by Su Wanwan at home. In fact, she didn't want Su Wanwan to have a bad life. She was not that bad.
"well……"
When Widow Liu sighed for who knows how many times, Su Wanwan couldn't help but asked, "Why do you always sigh?"
"Son," Widow Liu felt sad, "If I had known earlier, I would not have agreed to this marriage. I feel so sorry for your father."
When Father Su was still alive, he would always agree to whatever Widow Liu said as long as it did not involve Su Wanwan's affairs. Widow Liu now often misses Father Su.
On the one hand, he was in a hurry to marry Su Wanwan off because he didn't want her to be beaten. On the other hand, what woman in the world would stay at home and not get married when she reached a certain age?
Su Wanwan sat there with the mortar in silence.
"Didn't your cousin like you very much before?" Widow Liu muttered, "Why didn't he come to propose marriage? It seems that he doesn't really like you. If he really liked you, he would have come a long time ago. But...what if he is the first one to be killed?"
Su Wanwan smashed the stick, and Widow Liu was startled. She realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly slapped her mouth, "Ah, you see, I'm old. It's true. I was talking nonsense. You and Changfeng are a perfect match. You two are living a good life now, haha."
Su Wanwan glanced at Widow Liu. Actually, sometimes she didn't mean to hit Widow Liu, but it was just that the middle of Widow Liu's head seemed empty, making people want to hit it.
Pei Changfeng heard what Widow Liu said. He lowered his eyes and taught Su Chaochao to write his name.
Su Chaochao was held by his hand, and felt that although the hand was thin, it was strong. He hesitated for a moment, "Brother-in-law, did my sister hit you just now?"
Pei Changfeng asked, "Why do you say that?"
Su Chaochao thought he knew Su Wanwan very well. He whispered, "My sister often beats people. Don't be afraid, brother-in-law. She usually won't beat you twice a day. If you really can't stand it, just hide and let my sister calm down. Don't divorce her. If you divorce her, she will come home and beat me."
Children speak without restraint. Pei Changfeng chuckled and said, "No, your sister is very good."
Su Chaochao shook her head, thinking that Pei Changfeng had been beaten stupidly.
With the help of Widow Liu, Su Wanwan quickly built the wall. Widow Liu was very tired. After a break, she started chatting with Su Wanwan, "Do you know that Wang Laizi from Liangjia Village is in trouble?"
Su Wanwan leaned over and asked, "What's the matter?"
She approached suddenly, and Widow Liu was startled again, "Just talk, don't get so close."
Anyone who has experienced Su Wanwan's fist would definitely not be in the mood to appreciate her beauty.
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes at her and sat further away.
"I don't know whose house Wang Laizi went to yesterday and got kicked out for doing something naughty. At night, he fell into a pit while drinking with someone and broke his head. I heard that he will become a fool in the future."
"It's good to be a fool. Once you become a fool, you won't bully others anymore." Su Wanwan pounded her arms and stood up, "I'm going to make lunch."
When Widow Liu saw her enter the kitchen, she felt a little uncomfortable. How could Su Wanwan have done these chores before she got married?
Widow Liu still remembers the first time she met Su Wanwan. The little girl was as fat as a ball and had been pampered by her father. Only in the past two years did she grow up to be as tall as a willow tree.
The girl has indeed grown up. Before Widow Liu could finish her sigh, Su Wanwan called her over to light the fire, and she could no longer sigh all of a sudden.
Su Chaochao and Pei Changfeng said many good things about Su Wanwan. The core meaning was that if Pei Changfeng couldn't bear it, he should just bear with it and never let his sister Su Wanwan go home.
Pei Changfeng listened and taught Su Chaochao to write her own name before lunch.
When Su Chaochao's face was wrinkled, he looked very similar to Su Wanwan. Pei Changfeng couldn't help but pinch his face and said, "Okay, let's go eat."
Su Chaochao blinked, "Brother-in-law, you must not chase my sister away. My father said that my sister would marry an emperor if she looked like this. You are getting a huge bargain."
Pei Changfeng laughed, "I understand."
After getting the guarantee, Su Chaochao breathed a sigh of relief like a little adult and went to eat with peace of mind.
Thanks to Widow Liu's help, Su Wanwan killed a chicken at noon and served Pei Changfeng a full bowl with two chicken legs in it.
Su Chaochao glanced at the chicken wings in his bowl and drooled. Seeing Pei Changfeng picking up a chicken leg and handing it to him, he was delighted, thinking it was for him. However, he saw Pei Changfeng put it into Su Wanwan's bowl.
Su Wanwan enjoyed the meal very much.
Widow Liu and Su Wanwan agreed that Pei Changfeng would come once every three days. Pei Changfeng would teach Su Chaochao to read, and Widow Liu would bring a chicken as a gift each time.
Widow Liu's heart was bleeding. It was true that a girl who was married was like water spilled. However, Father Su had left her a lot of money, so she could still afford to give her a chicken every three days. She should just think of her as a considerate stepdaughter by her stepmother.
After the meal, Widow Liu washed the dishes while Su Wanwan was thinking about how to reinforce the door of the yard. She always felt that the door could be kicked open in one go without even any effort.
Just as she finished thinking, she heard footsteps of a group of people outside the yard, and then someone kicked open the door of her yard. The door panel flew from the wall into the chicken coop, and the chicken coop that Su Wanwan had just built fell apart again.
Then a group of people came over from outside the courtyard, led by an official who was about 40 or 50 years old. "Who among you is Su Wanwan?"
