“Su Qing, did something happen to your family again?”
“Why does something happen to your family every day?”
“Su Qing, your sister is really troublesome. Even the people in our village have heard about it!”
Everyone was talking at once, and Su Qing’s expression did not look good.
The person who ran in from outside finally arrived in front of Su Qing. Before Su Qing could speak, the other apprentices swarmed up and asked, “What’s wrong with Su Qing’s family?”
“Who are they quarreling with this time?”
“Hurry up and tell me.”
The person was panting from running and shouted anxiously, “It’s not a quarrel this time, it’s a fight. Sun Dahai hit Su Xiu, and Su Wen broke Sun
Dahai’s arm that he used to hit Su Xiu.’
“What? Broke his arm?”
Everyone gasped and immediately, the way they looked at Su Qing changed.
Someone asked with lingering fear, “Su Qing, is your sister that powerful? Did she ever hit you?”
Su Qing had a good relationship with the other apprentices. Everyone secretly sympathized with Su Qing for having a sister who was a troublemaker, causing Su Qing to be unable to find an in-law. When a truly good family heard that Su Qing was Su Wen’s sister, no one was willing to accept her.
Those who were willing were either poor without a home, widowed, or loved to gamble and drink.
Therefore, even though Su Qing was already eighteen years old and was educated, she still could not find a good in-law.
Su Qing stood up abruptly and asked anxiously, “Was what you said just now true? My sister and my third sister got into a fight with Sun Dahai?”
“Yes, you should go and take a look!”
Su Qing was so scared that her heart was beating wildly. She did not have time to ask her master for leave, and asked her close friends to help her tell her master before she left in a hurry.
She regretted it in her heart. If she had known earlier, she would not have come today. She would have taken a day off at home so that she could help.
When the other apprentices saw that Su Qing had left, they immediately began to discuss without any scruples. They talked about what they had heard recently. From Su Wen’s marriage to the house, to Zhao Jiangang from the Plum Furrow.
Their days were usually boring and they did not have much entertainment. It would be strange if they were not excited at such a big event!
In the end, someone suddenly said, “Actually, Su Qing’s brother-in-law is really good-looking.”
These apprentices were all from nearby villages, and few had seen Zhou
Hengyang before. Even in Trinity Village, not everyone had seen Zhou Hengyang before. Speaking of which, he had been in Trinity Village for half a year, but he had always been very serious, and kept a low profile.
In fact, many people had discussed Zhou Hengyang in private. After all, Su Qing’s sister was a famous beauty in all the villages. Although her reputation was not good, there were many men who coveted her in private.
Everyone was more curious about what Zhou Hengyang, this live-in son-in-law, looked like.
“You’ve seen him before?”
“Hurry up and tell me, what happened?”
“Isn’t he ugly? I heard that he’s really ugly. Su Qing’s sister doesn’t even want to sleep in the same bed with him.”
“What are you talking about? Why did I hear that he’s very good looking? If he wasn’t good-looking, would Su Qing’s father have asked him to be his son-in-law before he died?” When Su Xuewen was young, he was famous in the entire Clear Water County for being a handsome young man!
Some middle-aged men would inevitably mention Su Xuewen when they were young. Therefore, many women had heard of him.
“He’s very good looking. Very, very good.” The person who spoke gestured with his hand. “He’s this tall. I’m scared standing in front of him and I don’t dare to look him in the eye..”
