41: 41 Bite me

Su Xiaofeng asked Ye Cheng to stop the car at the entrance of Daba Village and told him to go back first, as they would have bicycles soon.

Ye Cheng nodded and drove away.

Su Xiaofeng and Su Peng arrived at Daba Village in no time.

Qiu Dayong had not expected Xiaofeng to sell the peaches so quickly, let alone bring the money to him so soon, “Xiaofeng, you’re really capable; you sold them all so fast.”

“Uncle, it’s mainly because your peaches look so good.” Su Xiaofeng handed over the remaining hundred yuan to Qiu Dayong, “Uncle, you should plant more of these peaches; they taste pretty good.”

“I’ve also been thinking of planting more.

I wasn’t sure about the market, but seeing how well you’ve sold them, I’m feeling confident now.

I’ll definitely plant more,” he said with a hearty smile to Su Xiaofeng.

“These peaches look better than the average ones, so we won’t worry about selling them in the future,” Su Xiaofeng said truthfully.

Even in the twenty-first century, the peaches were still popular with people.

“I’ll take your auspicious words to heart.” At this point, Qiu Dayong couldn’t imagine that the young man in front of him would, in just a few years, sell all the local specialties of Xiqian Town across the country; but of course, that’s a story for another day.

After leaving Daba Village, Su Xiaofeng and Su Peng headed to the bicycle shop in town.

Passing by the entrance of a liquor store in town, a few flashy-dressed young men were inside drinking and playing cards.

One of them nudged Liu An on the shoulder, “Hey, Anzi, isn’t that your bride over there?”

He had been to Lihua Village with Liu An before, so he recognized Su Xiaofeng.

Liu An had just lost money and looked over in the direction the other man was gesturing, just in time to see Su Xiaofeng and Su Peng passing by the liquor store.

Liu An threw down his cards, his tone sour, “I’m done playing; it’s no fun.”

As he tossed his cards aside, he spoke with a smile to the man across from him, “Brother Shui, did you see that beauty?

That’s my bride-to-be.

If you’re willing to wipe out today’s debt, I’ll let that beauty accompany you for the night.”

She was nothing but damaged goods anyway; it would be elevating her status to have her accompany Brother Shui.

The one called Brother Shui was a burly man with a large black mole on his left cheek and a face full of rough features.

He was the biggest thug in town.

He followed Liu An’s gaze, a cigarette dangling from his lips, “Come on, kid, you think I don’t know you?

You’ve got a bride?”

“She’s a timid one.

Scared her a few times and then got my hands on her,” Liu An said with a hint of pride in his voice, “Brother Shui, I’ll go get her for you right now.”

The man known as Brother Shui remained silent, which Liu An took as assent.

Liu An sensed an opportunity.

His card luck had been terrible all day; he’d lost over a hundred to Brother Shui.

If Brother Shui would offset today’s losses and the previous gambling debts, he would bring Su Xiaofeng to him, even if it meant tying her up.

Today wasn’t a market day, so there were almost no people on the streets.

“Xiaofeng,” Liu An approached with a few of his chums, all grinning, “What a coincidence.”

Su Xiaofeng glanced at Liu An, her brow furrowing slightly.

“What do you want?” Su Xiaofeng arched an eyebrow, showing no fear at the appearance of Liu An and his group.

“Of course, we want something.” Liu An squinted at the corners of his eyes, his smile looking all the more irritating, “You haven’t eaten yet, have you?

Some friends of mine fried a few dishes at the liquor store up ahead.

We saw you passing by and thought to invite you to have a meal with us.”

Liu An’s gaze shifted to Su Peng, “Big brother-in-law, are you hungry?

Come on, follow me for some meat,” he said as he went to grab Su Peng’s arm.

Su Peng reflexively swung his arm and pushed Liu An away, “You’re a bad person, I won’t leave with you.”

The man had caused trouble at his home before, and he remembered it.

Liu An hadn’t expected the fool, who wasn’t so foolish after all, to also possess a certain cleverness, impervious even to the lure of meat.

His expression darkened, “This meal isn’t up to you to refuse or accept.”

As he spoke, Liu An turned his gaze toward Su Xiaofeng, his tone scoffing, “Su Xiaofeng, this isn’t Lihua Village, where I have to give three parts respect to your villagers.

This is the town, where nobody is around and no one will want to meddle in your affairs.

You’d best be compliant today.

If you anger me, I’ll make sure you regret it.”

In Lihua Village, he had to give the villagers of Lihua three parts respect, but not here.

If Shuige was the first one who could swagger through the town, he, Liu An, could most certainly be counted as the second.

Today, Su Xiaofeng having fallen into his hands, it was just her bad luck.

Su Xiaofeng’s face remained calm, her phoenix eyes carrying a trace of amusement, her voice tinged with a hint of exaggeration, “I’m so scared.

Brother, are you afraid?”

Su Peng patted his chest, “Don’t be afraid.

If they dare to bully you, I’ll bite them.” As he spoke, Su Peng made a snarling gesture at Liu An and his group.

Liu An’s group, seeing Su Peng’s childish antics, broke into uninhibited laughter, “Haha, come on then.

If you’ve got the guts, come bite us.”

“Ergou, Niu Tou, hold back this fool.

I’m going to treat my wife to a nice meal at Shui’s restaurant.

Don’t let him follow,” Su Peng’s sturdy build had some strength to it, making him a bit of a nuisance.

He had to get Su Xiaofeng in front of Shuige today, so he absolutely needed to resolve the problem of Su Peng in his way.

“Anzi, rest assured, go ahead with your little wife.

Just don’t forget to share the benefits with us later, we’ll handle this fool,” Ergou was as tall and robust as Su Peng.

He rolled up his sleeves, spat into his hands and rubbed them together, “Fool, what’s this?

You want to bite me?

Come on, bite here, bite this.”

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing the solid muscles of his upper arm: “Come on, bite here, bite this.”

Apeng looked at them, then back at Su Xiaofeng, confusion flashing in his eyes.

He didn’t understand what to do next.

Su Xiaofeng pulled Su Peng behind her, her lips curling up slightly, “Brother, remember this for the future, if a dog bites us, we don’t bite back.

We use a stone or a stick to chase it away.”

Apeng looked on, half comprehending.

Were there dogs here?

It didn’t seem so.

“Su Xiaofeng.” Liu An heard her words and a malice flashed across his face, “Who are you calling a dog?”

“Whoever responds is the one,” Su Xiaofeng replied calmly, looking at him straight on.

“Indeed, you have quite the fiery spirit, a temperament to my liking,” Shuige, who had been waiting for a while with his three brothers, came over, “Miss, Liu An told me you were docile.

Doesn’t seem like it to me.”

Shuige stood in front of Su Xiaofeng, his eyes freely appraising her.

Bright red lips and white teeth, hair tied into a high ponytail, a slender waist, she indeed was a beauty.

“Shuige, her name is Su Xiaofeng, a person from Lihua Village, and she’s my wife-to-be.

Shuige, she looks good, doesn’t she?” Liu An, fearing Shuige wouldn’t take a liking to Su Xiaofeng, kept emphasizing that she was his wife-to-be.

“Liu An, it seems my mother didn’t hit you hard enough last time, did she?

Who’s your wife-to-be?

Aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue?” Su Xiaofeng coldly snorted at Liu An’s claim, seeing only too well how shameless Liu An was.

Last time, when they were in Lihua village and surrounded by many villagers, Liu An didn’t dare to do much.

But now, not only did he have more people, there was also no one else on the street.

“Su Xiaofeng.” Liu An straightened up, his voice laden with a deep menace, “What I say goes.

Are you talking back to me?”

To deal with a timid woman like Su Xiaofeng, the right approach was to scare her to death.
