I’ll Butcher Pigs to Support You! 81p1

Chapter 81 p1

After a few peaceful days, Chu Wantang’s courage grew. She was no longer willing to hide and would even kiss her cousin in front of Chi Jingming without a change in expression.

Chi Xiangyue had also gone from resisting at first, not letting her kiss, to being completely resigned later on. She had no reaction to being kissed. Whatever, whatever. Tangtang has always been this unrestrained. Why bother trying to control her?

Sometimes, when she was discussing marriage matters with her father, Tangtang would walk out of the room and casually lower her head to kiss her.

At first, Chi Jingming was also dumbfounded, unable to believe that this was his usually reserved and polite niece. He had even suspected several times that she had been possessed by an evil spirit. But after it happened many times, he also got used to it and could only look at the two of them speechlessly each time.

That day, the weather was fine. After Song Yugui and Shen Xizhi had finished lunch and rested for a while, they went up the mountain together to chop firewood. The firewood at home was almost gone. Chi Xiangyue had been busy these past two days with the betrothal to the Chu family and had no time to go to the mountains, so they went up to chop it themselves.

Although Song Yugui had also wanted to spend money to buy firewood… three wen a bundle, very cheap, but it had been rejected by her own wife and she had been scolded, so she immediately became obedient.

If I can’t buy it, I can’t buy it. It’s also good to chop it myself. I can also save some money. In my wife’s words, it’s not easy to earn money.

Although it was said to be chopping, for them, it was more like gathering firewood. They couldn’t move a tree that was too big even if they chopped it down, let alone split it into firewood. They could only pick up some relatively thick branches.

They each picked up a full bundle, tied it with a hemp rope, and then carried it back.

It was only when they were almost at their gate that they saw a mighty procession of people, stopped on the earthen slope.

A man in plain clothes got out of the leading carriage. Although his clothes were not brightly colored, one could see that the dark patterns on the fabric were exquisite and complex, of no small value.

A man who had not appeared in the plot. Song Yugui looked at him with curiosity. Seeing the carriage stopped at the Chi family’s house, she knew he was here to find Chi Xiangyue and turned to leave.

She hadn’t expected the other to see them. His eyes lit up, and he reached out to stop the two of them. “Two young ladies.”

He strode forward. Song Yugui had a bad feeling and looked at the person with a assessing gaze, silently blocking her wife behind her.

Shen Xizhi rarely saw strangers here. Her willow-like brows furrowed slightly, and she nervously hid behind her wife.

The man looked like a well-mannered person. He gave the two of them a proper bow and, after straightening up, asked, “Are you from Songjia Village?”

Song Yugui: …

You’re standing in Songjia Village and asking me if I’m from Songjia Village. Isn’t that nonsense?

The corners of her mouth twitched, but at least she didn’t show a speechless expression on her face to embarrass him. She just nodded. “I am. What can I do for you, young master?”

Hearing her speak, he seemed not to be vulgar. A smile appeared on the man’s face. “I’m here to find the owner of this house. May I ask if you know when they will be back?”

“Oh, they’ll be back for dinner.”

No matter how important the matter was, Chi Xiangyue would not miss her mealtime for it. She was very certain, without any hesitation.

“I see. Then it seems I can only wait for a little while.”

The man smiled, his demeanor toward them as gentle as a young master from a painting.

If it were an ordinary woman, she might have been mesmerized by his appearance. It was a pity that the two in front of you were the famous lesbians of Songjia Village.

“Mmm.”

Song Yugui nodded casually and was about to leave with her wife when she was called out to by the other again.

His words carried a hint of frivolous intimacy. He thought to himself, I might have to stay here for a while. I can’t be alone. If I have two young ladies to serve me, adding fragrance to my red sleeves… it would not be a bad thing.

“Are you two sisters? Since it’s still early, may I go to your house for a cup of clear tea and a rest?”

The moment Song Yugui heard this, she became vigilant. She didn’t want to become the protagonist of some dismemberment case.

This person’s origins were unknown. Although he seemed to know Chi Xiangyue, it was still unclear what their relationship was. She refused without hesitation, her expression a little colder. “Our house only has two women. It’s not very appropriate.”

“The customs in our dynasty are open. I just want to ask for a cup of tea. What’s so inappropriate about that?”

Shen Xizhi nervously tugged at her wife’s sleeve from behind.

Song Yugui held Xizhi’s slender fingers in return, rubbing them gently as if to comfort her. Then she stared at the pair of peach-blossom eyes that were looking at them with a bewitching charm, clearly a dishonest man, and said word by word, “Because we are lesbians, so we do not entertain men at home.”

The man was so shocked that his face instantly changed, and his originally gentle voice became sharp and unpleasant, his tone high. “What—you’re also lesbians?!”

How can I run into lesbians wherever I go! Are there so many lesbians now?

Song Yugui knew they were here to find Chi Xiangyue. It should be the Chi family or the Chu family. The ‘they’ he had mentioned was them.

She didn’t want to say much to him, just nodded slightly and led Xizhi around him to leave.

This time, she was not stopped again.

Shen Xizhi was led away by her wife. Seeing that group of people still standing outside, her expression was inevitably panicked. She took a few quick steps to walk side by side with Yugui-jiejie, her voice light and thin. “What’s wrong? Who are they? Why are they looking for Miss Chi and the others?”

“They should be their family. We don’t have to mind them. It has nothing to do with us. They can handle it. How about we have dumplings for dinner? There’s still some lamb that Miss Chi brought before. I want to eat lamb dumplings.”

It was probably not a big deal. Shen Xizhi only worried about Miss Chi and the others for a little while, then her mind was all on her wife again. “Mmm, mmm, okay. Then we’ll have lamb and scallion dumplings tonight.”

The two of them had a plan for dinner in their hearts. After they got home and stacked the firewood neatly, they began to tidy up, knead the dough, chop the lamb, and also pull some small scallions to mix in.

Chi Xiangyue had returned early today. Seeing the carriage outside the house, she knew there were visitors.

She was instantly tense, her whole body rigid, and the corners of her mouth, which had been smiling, also pressed together. Counting the time, that letter should have reached the capital a long time ago.

Are they here to kill me now?

She was afraid that the person who had come was her future father-in-law. She walked toward her own home with trepidation, extremely cautious, afraid that her father-in-law would rush out and whip her.

Chu Wantang found it funny and said helplessly, “The situation in the capital is unclear now. My father wouldn’t leave the capital so casually. What are you afraid of?”

Now that the heavens are high and the emperor is far away, her dad can’t control her at all. As long as she doesn’t go back to the capital, by the time her dad has the time to come and get her, her and her cousin’s marriage contract will have already turned yellow.

But Chi Xiangyue was still nervous. “What if? What if it’s really my uncle?”

Seeing her so worried, Chu Wantang went over and casually asked a guard who recognized her as the one she called ‘young miss’. “Who is it that has come today?”

The guard said respectfully, “It’s the young master.”

“Tsk, why is it him?”

A hint of annoyance appeared on Chu Wantang’s brow. Chi Xiangyue was stunned, but her expression was filled with a bit of anger. “It’s Chu Youning?!”

“Mmm, it should be my dad who let him come.”

“Hah, alright. I was just worrying about not having a chance to go back to the capital. He actually delivered himself to my door!”

Ever since her cousin had told her that Chu Youning wanted her to marry a forty-something-year-old official for a political marriage, she had been wanting to beat Chu Youning up. It was a pity that Chu Youning was in the capital, so she couldn’t. Today, he had actually delivered himself to her door!

Chi Xiangyue was about to go and hit him with a fierce aura. Chu Wantang didn’t stop her. If it could make her cousin happy, then the beating Chu Youning would get would be worth it.

The Chu family’s young master was in the room, waiting impatiently for the two of them to come back. He had finally heard some noise and had gone out, but he hadn’t expected to be met with a kick to the chest!

He was a true scholar and didn’t know any martial arts. He was kicked so far!

He rolled over twice before he could barely stop, a look of shock and disbelief on his face. He simply couldn’t imagine what had just happened!

After a long time, he finally managed to get up from the ground with difficulty, but he was still unsteady and had to kneel on one knee, looking up with hatred. “You… cousin, what is the meaning of this! I came on my father’s orders. Even if you usually dislike me, how can you hurt someone without reason!”

“Hah.”

Thinking of her little cousin’s wronged words about how those half-brothers bullied her, Chi Xiangyue was so angry her heart, liver, and lungs were about to explode. How could she tolerate him!

She immediately went over, grabbed him by the collar, and slammed him onto the ground.

Chu Youning just felt his head buzzing, and half his face was pressed into the dirt. He was both shocked and angry. “Chi Xiangyue! Are you crazy! Mmm, mmm, mmm.”

The other was pressing down hard. He had opened his mouth and had accidentally eaten some dirt, which disgusted him.

He had never imagined he would experience this before he came!

Chu Wantang had left home on her own initiative, which in his eyes meant that she had given up control of the Chu family. He had thought that the Chu family would be his in the future. Being ordered to come here by his father, he had also had an arrogant attitude. But the moment he had met her, he had been beaten so badly he couldn’t even straighten his back. All his bad thoughts were shattered under Chi Xiangyue’s martial suppression.

This madwoman didn’t even give him a chance to breathe. No matter what he said, no matter how he struggled, she refused to let go. He could only look at Chu Wantang with a pleading expression.

Seeing her cousin beat him up so nimbly, Chu Wantang didn’t say anything at first. Later, when she saw that it was about enough, she held her cousin’s hitting hand, held that red fist, and stroked it with a bit of pity.

“If you hit any more, my cousin’s hand will be broken. Let’s spare him for today.”

Hearing this, Chu Youning, who was bruised and swollen, just felt that Chu Wantang was also crazy. Her hand is just broken. Look at me! Look at me!

A mouthful of bloody saliva was spat on the ground. He had almost forgotten the fear of being controlled by Chu Wantang in the past. This was also a madman. One of them openly hit people, the other used underhanded means in secret. Hehe, it was simply a match made in heaven!

Chi Xiangyue stood up nimbly and stared down at him.

“If you dare to bully my cousin again, I’ll make you pay!”

She made a fist.

Chu Youning had thought that since something had happened to the Chi family, Chi Xiangyue’s temper should have been reined in a little. But, no! She hadn’t reined it in at all.

He was beaten so badly he couldn’t even be seen. Chu Youning couldn’t even get up, just lay on the ground, bruised and swollen, panting.

Chi Xiangyue snorted coldly, took her cousin’s hand, and went next door for dinner, not caring about him at all.

So, as a matter of course, she was made to kneel by Mr. Chi, who had come home at night and had seen everything.

Mr. Chi was heartbroken. He was still thinking about how to get his brother-in-law to agree to this marriage, but Chi Xiangyue had gone and beaten up his son!

With such a violent nature, who would be at ease marrying their daughter to her?

If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t agree to this marriage!

Chi Jingming was about to die of anger. His daughter was simply a failure. He punished her by making her kneel to clear her head. His niece was not happy and was also rude to him.

Chi Jingming: …

Such a rebellious and undisciplined daughter. I will have two in the future. So good, so good.

He had originally thought that since his own daughter had beaten up his brother-in-law’s son, it would add some bumps to the marriage. The old father had been so worried he hadn’t slept all night. He hadn’t expected the other to have been beaten into submission, not daring to say a single word about this matter. The letters he wrote back were all full of good words about Chi Xiangyue. Every letter had to be reviewed by Chi Xiangyue before it could be sent to the capital.

Chi Jingming knew in his heart, but this time he didn’t say anything.

He could privately compensate Chu Youning for hitting him, but there was no need for his dad to know. They would be in-laws in the future. Why make things so ugly? It would hurt their relationship.
