Ke Meiyu stared wide-eyed as Qin Yuanjiu slowly unbuttoned his shirt.
The image of her cousin-in-law describing sweat rolling down her muscular physique and pattering onto the ground was still echoing in her mind...
With a man right in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart.
"Comrade Qin, this, this is my maternal grandparents' house, you, you mustn't do anything rash!" she stammered.
Qin Yuanjiu sneered, pressing the person closer to the bed step by step, "Why can't I understand what you're saying?"
"I'm your ninth brother, what kind of nonsense can I possibly do?"
Ke Meiyu was already standing against the bed, her waist bending further and further as he leaned forward. "Good brother, I misspoke, please don't hold it against me!"
“Good brother? Ha…” He suddenly stepped forward again.
Ke Meiyu was so frightened that she fell onto the bed with a thud, and the man took the opportunity to press down on her.
Although Qin Yuanjiu was dry and often carried a faint smell of tobacco, his domineering and fierce aura assailed everyone.
At that moment, Ke Meiyu's heart was pounding wildly. She finally realized, belatedly, that the villain Qin Yuanjiu was a truly charismatic man.
She weakly braced herself against his chest with her hands, and oh my, it was so solid, a real mass, and he even deliberately jiggled it...
Qin Yuanjiu finally stopped his attack, and the two of them almost touched nose to nose, their breaths mingling.
"Have you touched him enough?" he asked indifferently. "Do you touch your brother like this too?"
"How could that be? I'm not a pervert!" Ke Meiyu subconsciously turned her head to refute.
"Will you still treat me as your older brother from now on?"
She immediately shook her head, "No, no!"
Qin Yuanjiu stopped when he felt he had had enough, straightened up with satisfaction, took off his clothes and threw them at her, then turned and left.
Ke Meiyu's fair face was flushed with a faint pink hue, her misty eyes were full of captivating romance, and her faint, warm body fragrance was like a resilient spider web, pulling at people's hearts thread by thread.
If he stays any longer, something bad will happen sooner or later!
Ke Meiyu stood there, clutching his coat, blinking rapidly. Suddenly, as if burned, she threw the coat onto the bed. "You dare scare me! If it weren't for the system, I would have been genuinely frightened by your appearance!"
She angrily punched her clothes twice, saying, "Do you think I'm from Xiamen University?"
"If you're so capable, then do it for real. What kind of man scares people? Humph..." She threw her clothes aside arrogantly, looked at the peace value that had already reached its limit, and ran out of the house with satisfaction to see what this person was doing taking off his clothes.
Before Ke's mother got married, she was also very favored in her own family, where there were more brothers than sisters.
In other families, sons are treasures and daughters are neglected, but in her family, it's completely reversed. She has three older brothers who dote on her, a bunch of cousins, and a biased, brainwashing mother and grandmother.
I don’t know if it’s because of the feng shui of the Tang family, but this younger generation is all boys, and the only girl is her daughter.
Now that Qin Yuanjiu has become the grandson-in-law of the Tang family, he is naturally subjected to playful teasing from his peers.
“Little Qin,” the younger cousin, who was closest to the original owner, stepped forward and said with his chin raised, “Although you are capable of building a brick house for my sister, look at your small frame, you are definitely not as strong as mine!”
Qin Yuanjiu smiled faintly, "Little cousin, all talk and no action is meaningless. Let's have a match first."
Both of them took off their coats, wearing only light clothing, and held borrowed axes in their hands. There was a lot of firewood in front of each of them.
“Little Qin,” another cousin emphasized seriously, “chopping firewood is also a skill. You have to chop it quickly and neatly, so that the firewood stack looks good and is easy to preserve and use…”
In every household in Bainanzhuang, there is a large, neatly stacked pile of firewood in the courtyard, covered with a straw roof. They rely on this for warmth throughout the winter.
“We have a custom in Bainanzhuang: when a new son-in-law visits his bride’s family, he has to build a firewood stack for her. Xiao Qin doesn’t need to chop much; he can just split the cost with Jinhan,” the older cousin said with a smile.
Ke Meiyu and her cousin's wife, two idle people, stood behind their nephews watching the fun.
"Little sister, your cousin is strong and healthy. He works in the fields all year round and is an experienced woodcutter. He's bound to win. But don't worry, little sister, Jinhan will take care of you and secretly let you win so that Xiao Qin won't lose too badly." The little sister-in-law's words were full of satisfaction and pride for her husband.
Ke Meiyu turned her head and looked at her with a generous smile, "Little cousin-in-law, don't be too sure of yourself. Our little Qin is slim when dressed but muscular when undressed, he's not bad at all!"
The main villain knows the little boy's grandfather and must have been a soldier. Furthermore, his words and actions always carry the air of a soldier. He's quite skilled in combat, far surpassing his own brother.
Sure enough, Qin Yuanjiu was a little rusty at first and his speed was a bit slow. He needed to figure out the force, angle and size for chopping firewood. But after about ten, his speed suddenly increased. He chopped like he was cutting a watermelon, effortlessly, fast and accurate!
Upon seeing this, the younger cousin mustered all his strength and used his twenty-odd years of experience to hack away. But he was still relentlessly overtaken, and then cruelly mocked by his nephew and younger sister…
Even his young wife sighed and shook her head.
What a blunder! Why was he so foolish as to personally take charge? Now look what's happened, he's lost both face and dignity!
However, the men didn't hold grudges. After the laughter and commotion, they all accepted Qin Yuanjiu from the bottom of their hearts.
In their eyes, only someone as capable as him is worthy of their fairy-like cousin!
After lunch, they carried two full baskets of wild yams and dried sweet potatoes that the Tang family had dug up from the mountains back home.
Since his younger cousin's wife entered the family, the Tang family no longer digs for wild vegetables around the mountains like other families. Instead, they search for all kinds of food in their secret base, winding their way around the area.
The Tang family jokingly said that this was their cousin's dowry!
On the way back, Ke Meiyu kicked pebbles with her head down, but her expression was slightly serious.
“Xiao Wen,” she finally pulled out the mission advisor:
"Who is my cousin-in-law? Are there spirits and monsters in this strange world?"
Xiao Wen replied, feeling wronged, "Yes, host, you can cultivate and possess a space, so why can't there be demon cultivators or ghost cultivators?"
"After all, this is a world built on the framework of a novel. Without some supernatural power to support it, it would be difficult to cover up some of the plot holes."
Ke Meiyu was a little flustered and couldn't help but ask, "My cousin-in-law is a spirit, she's related to me, and I'm the female lead Ke Enshu's cousin. Does she exist in the plot?"
The plot she received was very general; she simply followed it as a reader, knowing the general direction of the story rather than the details.
With her incredibly accurate sixth sense, Ke Meiyu had a vague feeling that something was seriously wrong here!
Xiao Wen paused for a moment, then asked, "The host can actively initiate and create side quests. Although this world is based on a novel, it truly exists, and everyone has a story behind them!"
