Fortunate Eighties: The Bewitching Female Rival Who Tamed Her Husband with Skill-Chapter 8 - No Man is Good

"You, what are you doing?"

Old Mrs. Wang, after seeing who was coming, guiltily hid her hands behind her back.

"My poor girl, bullied by this old hag into this state? The whole family ganged up to beat my daughter like this," Aunt Su's tears fell as she spoke out of heartache.

Several men felt it inappropriate to argue with the old woman, so the Su brothers, their eyes red, shouted towards the house.

"Wang Yong, come out! You dare beat our Xiaomei? If you have the guts, come out yourself. Don't hide inside and let your old mother handle this."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Wang, glaring through her droopy eyes, cursed like a chicken that doesn't lay eggs, "Pah, once married into our Wang family, she belongs to our Wang family, and we'll do as we please."

Hearing this, Aunt, trembling with anger, said, "You old hag, how dare you insult my daughter as a barren chicken, you, you—"

"Pah! I'll say it, a hen that doesn't lay eggs is a hen that doesn't lay eggs..."

The Su family members were infuriated by Old Mrs. Wang's sharp and nasty taunts, the Su brothers nearly wanted to punch this evil old hag.

As a woman herself, Susu felt sympathy for her cousin and directly pointed at Old Mrs. Wang, scolding her.

"You evil old woman, you curse other women for not bearing children perhaps because you've done too many morally corrupt things yourself, maybe it's your son who is sterile."

"You, you,"

Old Mrs. Wang was so angry she couldn't speak clearly, and, seeing she was being out-talked, she sat down on the ground with a thump, slapping her thigh and wailing about having an ungrateful daughter-in-law.

Aunt Su held back her daughter, who wanted to help Old Mrs. Wang, and glared angrily at the old woman.

Susu raised an eyebrow, "That's it? You are too weak."

Villagers gathered around to watch the scene, unable to stand the sight, pointing fingers at the Wang family members.

Everyone in the village knew what kind of person Old Mrs. Wang was.

It wasn't the first time Wang Yong and his mother had ganged up to beat their daughter-in-law.

It was only because there were people in the village who had a good relationship with Xian Yue and could no longer stand it, that they secretly went to the county to inform the Su family.

The family took Xian Yue back home, stating that Wang Yong should come to take his wife back himself, or else they would divorce.

Seeing her cousin worn thin, bruised, and battered, Susu was furious and cursed loudly.

"Men are no good. I have no use, so they take it out on their wives, just a poor wretch who's gotten too cocky!"

Caught in the crossfire, Lu Xiaoting coughed awkwardly and timidly added, "Not all men are like that."

"Heh, men! None of you are good, it's just Xian Yue being too kind. If any man dared to lay a finger on me, I'd sharpen my knife and chop off whatever hand touched me."

Lu Xiaoting involuntarily shivered, feeling like the more he said, the more mistakes he made. He pursed his lips tightly and said no more.

Susu sneered, "Not talking now? I thought you men liked to reason?"

Lu Xiaoting, named directly, remained silent.

On a rage, Susu glared at the man, jumped down from her bicycle, and pushed open the courtyard door.

Hearing the noise, Mrs. Lu hurried out and asked, "How did it go? Is Xian Yue's injury severe? How could that scoundrel from the Wang family still beat his wife?"

The Lu family, young and old, rushed out, all extremely worried.

"That bastard Wang Yong, together with that damn old hag, beat Xian Yue until she was unrecognizable, made her limp and work, and kept calling her a barren chicken..."

Upon hearing this, the Lu family were all furious and joined the daughter-in-law in cursing the Wang family mother and son.

"Mom, let's buy some things tomorrow and go see Xian Yue."

Susu said, rolling up her sleeves, ready to distract herself with something else, afraid she might die of anger.

Mrs. Lu nodded, feeling sorry for her niece while being especially grateful to her daughter-in-law.

"Lu Xiaoting, why don't you and Xiao Yu go wash up? I'll make some food for you to take with you when you and Lu Xiaomei leave tomorrow."

Involved and scolded along the way, Lu Xiaoting nodded and quickly carried the little guy off to the bathroom.

Upon hearing that her sister-in-law was making food for her and her brother, Lu Xiaomei immediately washed her hands to help with the cooking.

"Sister-in-law, what are you making? I'll help you with it."

Susu nodded and took out the extra food from the evening, "I'll make some marinated dishes for you to take back and eat on the spot. I'll also make some spicy minced meat sauce and mushroom sauce. With these, you can enjoy several more meals even when mixed with the canteen food."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaomei's eyes curved into smiles as she playfully clung to her sister-in-law's arm, "Sister-in-law, why are you so nice?"

"Go on, I've always been this nice."

"Hehe, but sister-in-law, I feel like you've changed a lot since I came back from this vacation."

Lu Xiaomei, worried her sister-in-law might misunderstand, quickly added, "It's not that you weren't nice before, you've just gotten even better."

Susu smiled without speaking, her soul's core had changed, it was natural to see a change.

...

After the father and son had washed up, Lu Xiaoting gave the little guy a bald haircut.

In the kitchen, sweaty from cooking, Susu entered the room and immediately saw a little bald head, reaching out her "devil's hand" to rub the little guy's bare head.

"Wow, Xiao Yu has become a little baldy."

Embarrassed, Xiao Yu hugged his head, attempting to hide, but Susu wasn't about to let him go easily, only walking away to wash up after satisfying her urge to pet him.

Exhausted from the day's work, Susu finally lay down, collapsing on the kang without moving.

"Lu Xiaomei is hanging the stuff in the well, remember to take everything with you when you get up early tomorrow. If you can't finish the marinated food, share it with your brothers. The spicy meat and mushroom sauces will last a few more days."

Lu Xiaoting looked down, his eyes on the rosy-cheeked woman, "Thank you, wife."

Feeling the warm breath by her ear, Susu suddenly opened her eyes.

The handsome face of the man was inches away; his high nose bridge, deep black eyes, and long, thick eyelashes.

Susu, impelled by some ghostly force, reached out her hand, felt the warmth between her fingers, her old face turning red as she stuttered, "No, no need to thank."

Unable to bear the intensity of the man's fiery gaze, Susu turned over and muttered under her breath.

"Really, life's not fair, why does a man have such long, voluminous eyelashes?"

Her mind wandered wildly, and it wasn't long before Susu fell asleep.

The sleeping individual lost her usual reserve, sprawling openly in a "big character" pose at the end of the kang, occupying half the space.

Lu Xiaoting covered Xiao Yu's belly, then turned to see the blanket that had just been resting there now kicked to the end of the kang by the woman.

Amused and exasperated, he pulled the blanket back over his wife.

In no time, Lu Xiaoting found himself being hugged by his wife, her arms and legs draped over him, her fair face resting on his shoulder.

The man reached back, pulling her into his embrace, his thin lips curling slightly as he drifted off to sleep.

Susu was awakened in the middle of the night by the heat, and upon opening her eyes, found herself tightly hugging the man. She kicked out and rolled back to her side.

The man grunted as he was kicked.
