Chapter 28 -28: In a Hurry
Encircled by a man’s lean yet strong arms, the air filled with his masculine scent.
Susu’s cheeks gradually flushed, but the bumpy ride on her buttocks soon distracted her.
In the village
“My goodness, the Wang family and their son are really something else.”
“Now that they are held up in jail, they won’t be so smug.”
…
“It’s absolutely shameful, mentioning someone from our village being jailed, it affects the advancement rating of our whole village.”
As the onlookers whispered among themselves, Wang Yong wished he could just find a crack in the ground to hide in, so he ultimately just hid back in his house.
In the county
Throughout the journey, keeping the same posture, the first thing Susu did when she got off the vehicle was to rub her buttocks, feeling they had split into four parts.
After saying goodbye to Liu Gong’an, the couple headed straight for the new courtyard.
“Xiaomei, have Xian Yue and mother returned?”
“Sister-in-law, my mom and Sister Xian Yue just got back.”
Lu Xiaomei poked her head out of the kitchen, “Mom has gone to inform Aunt. When Sister Xian Yue returned, she was thinking about working, but Mom insisted she lie down on the bed. Sister Xian Yue is now resting in the inner room.”
“Hmm, did Mom say how Xian Yue’s injuries are? Are they serious?”
Before Lu Xiaomei could speak, Aunt hurriedly ran in.
In the inner room, Aunt hugged her daughter, crying and scolding, while Xian Yue smiled, comforting her mother.
“Mom, it’s okay, my Aunt took me for a check-up, and the doctor said it’s nothing serious, just needs some rest.”
“I’ll curse that Wang family’s ancestors, they are truly heartless. Next time I see that old hag, I’ll yank all the hair off her head. I just don’t believe…”
“Aunt, Lu Xiaoting and I went to the Police Station and reported the incident. The police have detained Old Mrs. Wang.”
Sharing the good news, Susu took out a handful of coins from her pocket, “Xian Yue, this is the medical and emotional distress compensation that I got from the Wang family. Keep it safe.”
“Sister-in-law, I don’t want it. Not only did my situation stop you and Aunt from doing business, but I also can’t work because I’m resting. I can’t accept it.”
Aunt wiped her tears, “Xian Yue is right, we can’t take this money.”
Before Susu could speak, Mrs. Lu spoke sternly to her sister-in-law and niece, “We are all family, why even say such things. If Susu gives it to you, just take it.”
“Xian Yue, keep it and take care of your health. Don’t think too much.”
Susu then stuffed the money directly into Su Xian Yue’s arms.
Seeing this, Xian Yue felt a bit embarrassed but insisted on reimbursing today’s hospital expense to her aunt.
Mrs. Lu chided, “You child.”
…
After discussing the urgent matters, the group didn’t stay inside too long. Firstly, there were still things to be busy with outside, and secondly, to avoid disturbing Xian Yue’s rest.
Seeing her daughter asleep, Aunt rolled up her sleeves and rushed out to take over the tasks.
“Xian Yue earns that salary every month; now that she’s injured and can’t work, I’ll fill in for the next few days.”
Seeing that she couldn’t dissuade Aunt, Susu didn’t hold her back.
Since the pickled goods business moved to the new courtyard, the whole family had been having lunch there.
At noon, the moment Father Lu returned, he heard the news about his niece being assaulted and was incredibly upset.
How did they come across such unreasonable people, such meddlesome troublemakers?
“No way, let big brother, sister-in-law, and Xian Yue stay here for now. The couple can take care of Xian Yue and feel more at ease, and it’s also good for keeping an eye on the courtyard.”
Susu nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Lu’s eyes lit up, that’s right, her elder brother was still unaware, and would be heartbroken once he knew.
“Alright, I’ll talk to my elder brother and sister-in-law in a moment.”
As soon as Aunt Liu Fen heard this, she hurriedly waved her hands, “No, no, it’s not appropriate for an entire family to move into their daughter’s home.”
“Sister-in-law, I’m not saying you and my brother should stay indefinitely. It’s just about coming over to take care of Xian Yue for a while. Otherwise, can you two rest easy? You would end up running back and forth every day. It’s better to stay here for a while; it’s also a chance to help keep an eye on the yard.”
“Then… should I go back and ask your elder brother?”
Aunt Liu Fen seemed somewhat persuaded.
She had originally planned to bring her daughter home to take care of her and temporarily take her place in assisting with the work here. But when she thought of the two daughters-in-law at home, Aunt Liu Fen hesitated.
It wasn’t for any other reason but the fear of her daughter being mistreated at home.
“Little Aunt, your elder brother should be almost back; I better hurry home and discuss this.”
Having said that, Aunt Liu Fen quickly ran off.
“Mom, you and Lu Xiaomei take Xiao Yu back first; my wife and I will wait here for my Aunt.”
“Okay, we’ll go back and start cooking.”
The little guy was somewhat reluctant, but still obediently took his two exuberantly happy puppies and left.
The yard suddenly became so quiet it was almost too much, leaving just the couple staring at each other.
Susu felt uncomfortable under the man’s dark gaze and averted her eyes, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Had he discovered something?
Just as Susu nervously pondered what excuse to use, she heard the man’s deep voice beside her ear,
“Wife, how are you so amazing!”
“Once you act, you grasp everything firmly. Considering how terrified people are of the police hat, once Old Mrs. Wang gets released, she’ll surely skirt around our family in the future.”
The relieved person proudly lifted her little chin, her pale face full of smugness.
“Exactly, who else but my clever wife. I might not know much, but I definitely know to seek help from the police when trouble arises!”
Watching the playful little woman, Lu Xiaoting laughed softly, nodding seriously, “Yep! My wife is really smart!”
This man certainly looked good when he smiled!
After a while, Susu blinked, stealing a glance at the man.
Why was there always a feeling of being subtly jabbed? But seeing the man’s serious expression, Susu figured she was overthinking it.
Before long, Uncle Su and Aunt hurried in carrying a large bundle, looking very hurried.
“Uncle, Aunt.”
“Ah, Xiao Ting, Xiao Ting’s wife.”
Uncle Su, sweating profusely, spoke anxiously, “Your aunt mentioned this, and I hurried over; we’ll stay here for a while to take care of Xian Yue.”
“Okay, Uncle, Aunt, please make yourselves at home.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll go see Xian Yue first.”
…
“Ah—Uncle and Aunt really do love their daughter Xian Yue,” Susu sighed.
“Don’t be sad, wife; you have us.”
Hearing the man’s voice, Susu came back to her senses and looked up to meet his concerned gaze.
Susu paused, realizing that he had mistaken her for being upset.
As a wandering soul from another world, Susu had no emotional attachment to the Su family but only felt sympathy for Erya, who was neglected by her parents and brainwashed by her family who valued men over women.
The sigh was for—thank goodness not all families favored sons over daughters!
