42: 42 wasn’t scared into adulthood

Su Xiaofeng listened to Liu An’s words, and her aura suddenly turned frosty.

In her past life, she had learned some self-defense skills and was quite good at it, so dealing with small-time hoodlums was no problem at all.

“Su Xiaofeng, whether or not you’re my wife is not for you to decide, it’s my call.

What I say goes, and I warn you, be sensible today.

If you don’t behave and offend Brother Shui, I, Liu An, will definitely make sure you’ll regret it.

If you don’t believe me, feel free to try,” Liu An saw Su Xiaofeng remaining silent and started to threaten her.

“Look how scared you’ve made the young lady,” the man known as Brother Shui laughed heartily as he stepped forward, intending to pull Su Xiaofeng closer, “Beaut, don’t be scared of him.

We’re all from the same town, why so serious?

Beaut, big brother thinks you’re quite charming, how about joining me for a couple of drinks?”

“Brother Shui, are you sure?” Su Xiaofeng let out a light scoff.

“What does the beaut mean by that?

Are you saying the drink is off?” Brother Shui’s hand, reaching out, grabbed at thin air, his eyes darkening with displeasure.

Indeed, a beauty who doesn’t know her manners.

Seems like she needs a good lesson.

“Does Brother Shui know the Wu Family in the county?” Brother Shui could roam the town fearlessly, which meant he must have some influence or backing.

Dealing with such people was simple.

“The Wu Family?” Brother Shui squinted, “Which Wu Family?”

“Of course, the Wu Family from the southern courtyard in the city,” Su Xiaofeng might have not many outstanding traits, but she had a good memory and a sense of direction.

As long as she had visited a place once, she could completely remember the locations and their names.

When he heard Su Xiaofeng mention the specific location, Brother Shui’s eyes narrowed even more, “You’re not going to tell me you have some relation with the Wu Family?”

The Wu Family in the southern city indeed held considerable influence; even his uncle wouldn’t dare to offend them rashly.

“Brother Shui wants me to join him for a few drinks, and of course I don’t mind.

I’m just worried that the Wu Family might trouble Brother Shui for it.

How about this, Brother Shui, why don’t you make a call to the Wu Family first, tell Grandma Wu you’re inviting a woman named Su Xiaofeng for drinks, and ask if she’s okay with it?” Su Xiaofeng’s predecessor had only heard of Brother Shui and had not met him, so there was virtually no information about him in her mind.

“Su Xiaofeng, stop trying to scare Brother Shui here.

Do you think that by spouting a few words you can scare our Brother Shui?” Liu An, hearing Su Xiaofeng’s words, bellowed once again.

Daring to threaten Brother Shui, did she truly think he was so easily frightened?

“Whether it scares him or not, I don’t know.

I still visited the Wu Family yesterday.

Their mansion is quite imposing, and when I came back, it was their car that sent me home,” she mused.

These small-time thugs mostly took pleasure in bullying the weak and wouldn’t dare to mess with strong families and people.

Su Xiaofeng was indeed aware of their mentality, which gave her the confidence to mention the Wu Family.

“Beaut, who would have thought you’re an honored guest of the Wu Family?

Let me ask you, how many people are in the Wu Family now?

Who are they?”

Listening to her, Brother Shui wasn’t quite sure whether she was telling the truth or lying.

But since she mentioned the Wu Family, it was always safe to be more cautious.

“Brother Shui, what are you implying?

That you can fish out information about the Wu Family from me?

No, I must say, the Wu Family’s matters are not something you can just inquire about at will.

Grandma Wu has two grandsons, both of whom are of marriageable age,” Su Xiaofeng obviously wouldn’t naively calculate how many people there were in the Wu Family.

To say something unpleasant, with money and numerous properties and connections in the county, most people really wouldn’t dare to confront the Wu Family.

Of course, Brother Shui was well aware of the situation with Wu Family’s two sons.

There’s something Su Xiaofeng got right—both of the Wu Family’s sons were of age to take a wife.

And looking at Su Xiaofeng, she indeed was a beauty, but would the Wu Family be interested in a country girl like her?

“Su Xiaofeng, you’re killing me with laughter.

Are you trying to tell me that the Wu Family wants to marry you?

You should take a piss and take a good look at yourself in the mirror, see what you’re really worth, and you dare to brag like that in front of Brother Shui.

And let me add something unpleasant, you’re nothing more than a woman who’s been played by men.

As if people like the Wu Family would let you in their door—I’d believe in ghosts before I believed you,” Liu An said as he listened to Su Xiaofeng, laughing so hard his crooked teeth were showing. frёewebnoѵēl.com

This Su Xiaofeng was really daydreaming.

“Liu An, you tried to play the rogue with me, only to be caught red-handed by everyone in the village.

I remember the police station is near the town middle school, right?

Do you believe that I could go to the police to report you right now?” Su Xiaofeng didn’t take Liu An seriously at all.

He was nothing but a petty hoodlum in the town who mooched off Brother Shui and wasn’t strong or impressive in any way—hardly worth fearing.

“You rotten goods,” Liu An was about to hit Su Xiaofeng when he heard her: “What playing the rogue?

It was clearly you who initiated it.”

“You villain,” Su Peng glared and threw a punch, sending Liu An flying: “Try hitting my sister.”

Su Peng might not have been quick-witted, but he was strong and robust, and Liu An was no match for him.

Liu An took a punch from Su Peng on his face, leaving his nose alternating between shades of green and purple, with blood dripping from it.

He got up, his heart pounding as he looked at Brother Shui: “Brother Shui, don’t listen to her nonsense.

What’s a country girl like her know about the Wu Family?

Her mom remarried when she was young, and she’s been living with her dad ever since.

Now she’s got a bun in the oven.

The Wu Family looking on her favorably—what a joke.”

“Where did her mother remarry?” Brother Shui’s focus of concern was clearly not in the same place as Liu An’s.

“Seems like in the county.

Just a few days ago, they took out twenty thousand yuan to fetch Su Xiaofeng to the city.” After Liu An finished, he wished he could slap himself twice.

Why did he even talk to Brother Shui about these things?

“Liu An, you know my mom took out twenty thousand yuan to fetch me.

Do you know why she suddenly did that?” Su Xiaofeng stood there casually, her words sounding as if she was talking about somebody else’s family affairs.

“Su Xiaofeng, you’re not trying to tell Brother Shui that the twenty thousand yuan was a betrothal gift from the Wu Family, are you?

Look at yourself, do you have the face to say that?

You’ve really got the nerve to say such a thing,” Liu An, covering his face, retorted without thinking.

Su Xiaofeng really should applaud Liu An for his words.

In some ways, he was quite adorable, expressing her intended message perfectly without a hitch.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had the context.

Upon hearing Liu An’s words, Brother Shui’s expression changed.

Twenty thousand yuan for a bride price, and upon recalling the news he had heard from his uncle about the Wu Family, his brain quickly connected the dots.

With a relieved expression, he burst into laughter: “Beautiful lady, the Wu Family is one of the richest families in our county.

Since you are the one they have chosen, I, Brother Shui, naturally shouldn’t overstep.”

“Brother Shui, don’t listen to her absurd lies,” Liu An became anxious as he saw Brother Shui lose interest in pursuing Su Xiaofeng: “She’s deceiving you, don’t believe her.”

Su Xiaofeng, that woman, used to be timid as a mouse every time I saw her, but her gall has been growing recently, daring to tell such tall tales.
