Ma Xiulan could even see Su Xuewen’s shadow in the sisters.
This realization sent a shiver down her spine, and she could not help but take a step back.
Just then, the courtyard door was pushed open from the outside, and two tall men strode in with purpose. When the two of them appeared, the air in the courtyard seemed to thin, as if all the oxygen was being sapped out of the atmosphere.
Shen Erkui pulled up the rear. Comprehension dawned on the faces of those present. Shen Erkui had not appeared earlier to help Su Wen because he must have known his words carried no weight, especially since he was not a member of the Su family. As this was a family matter, he would have had no right to speak.
Hence, he must have gone to fetch the only one who could: Zhou Hengyang. It had been a matter of luck, really. He had caught sight of someone driving an
SUV in the village and managed to have them drive him to town to look for Su Wen’s husband.
Otherwise, how would he have made it in time?
“Oh? Is this some martial arts meet?” Xu Xiaoxiao quipped cheekily.
Su Wen secretly heaved a sigh of relief and happily greeted him. “Hengyang, you’re back.” Su Wen was as happy as a clam, her eyes twinkling with joy at the sight of her husband. Now, if only she did not have a knife in her hand…
“Yes.” Zhou Hengyang nodded at Su Wen and gave her a reassuring look.
Su Wen felt a great weight off her shoulders. Although she had not been afraid earlier, she still worried that things would get out of hand. Su Wen did not want her sisters to come to harm. It was not until Su Xue’s violent reaction that she realized the Su sisters must have been beaten up a lot in the past – it was just never mentioned in the novel she had read.
Su Wen’s heart clenched at the thought of her sisters’ suffering behind the scenes since they were young.
Xu Xiaoxiao was shameless and mischievous, and he had a sharp tongue. He pointed at the kitchen knife in Su Wen’s hand and mocked, “I think you need to find better competitors for the martial arts meet if someone with a kitchen knife is expected to compete. Aren’t you afraid of what people would say if you tasted defeat under its blade?”
“Oh, shut it!” Su Wen growled. Xu Xiaoxiao may have had the looks of a prince charming, but he was more annoying than a gangster who ran his mouth on the street.
Xu Xiaoxiao did not mind being told off. Instead, he brightened, appearing as if Christmas had come early. Everyone knew what Xu Xiaoxiao did that night. When they saw him approach, they all took a step back.
Su Xueqiang and Su Xuewu cowered in fear.
“Father, we can’t afford to offend this person,” Su Xuewu whispered into Su Dachun’s ear.
“Why didn’t you say anything earlier?”
“I…” He did not expect Shen Erkui to ruin things.
Zhou Hengyang had a dark, unforgiving look about him. His impeccably straight-backed figure exuded a presence that commanded the attention of those present. It was so overbearing that the crowd quailed in fear. Even Ma Xiulan could only grit her teeth, desperately turning to her gloomy supporters in the crowd, who refused to meet her eyes.
“You called Su Wen here because you want the land, right?” Zhou Hengyang began without a preamble. “Let me make this clear. The land was divided by the country, and Su Wen signed the title deed to the land. No one can lay so much as a finger on what is hers.”
No one challenged Zhou Hengyang’s claim save for Chen Guihua, who was so distressed that her family was not about to gain any land that she had trouble breathing. Nothing else was on her mind. With her hands on her hips, she demanded, “Why? What gives you the right to participate in this discussion? You’re only a live-in son-in-law.”
Zhou Hengyang did not answer her. Instead, Xu Xiaoxiao was the one to respond. “Huh? Haven’t you heard? Zhou Hengyang has changed his name. He is now registered as Su Hengyang by the household registrar. He’s already a part of the Su family! ”
The icing on the cake was the cries of surprise and disbelief elicited by Xu Xiaoxiao’s words..
