Chapter 3: Bad temper, prefers action over words

Taking the money from selling people’s siblings, buying poison to kill others, only the original owner can do such immoral things.

“Su Wan, get out!”

The people outside couldn’t wait any longer and banged on the courtyard gate forcefully.

Su Wan’s face turned cold as she prepared to go out.

“Don’t go!” Mother Gu came to her senses, glanced at Su Wan’s small arms and legs, “I’ll go.” She lowered her face, picked up the hoe behind the door, and said with a stern look, “Dare to mess with me, if I don’t show them some color, they won’t know the three-eyed horse king!”^[1]馬王爺三只眼！(mǎwángye sānzhīyǎn) = three-eyed horse king! In ancient China, it was often said, “The Horse King has three eyes on his head!” This phrase was originally … Continue reading

“They are here for me, I’ll go.” Su Wan took over the original owner’s body, so she should fill in the pit for her.

Although she took over a bunch of mess, it’s better to be alive than dead, no matter what, she picked up a big bargain. Su Wan took the hoe from mother Gu’s hand: “Don’t interfere in this matter.”

“Hey…”

Mother Gu looked at Su Wan’s arms, which were not as thick as the hoe handle. Can she even swing it?

She hurried to catch up.

Gu Huaizhi’s face was gloomy, coughed a few times, and stepped out.

Gu Jingyun and Gu Baozhu were bold, leaning on the door frame with their heads poking out, staring at the gate with their big black eyes.

Su Wan leaned on the hoe, her phoenix eyes staring coldly at the few big men in front of her.

“Su Wan, are you playing with me?”

The leader Liu Laoliu had a face full of flesh, and his tiger eyes stared at Su Wan’s face. She was truly a rare beauty in the world, with the elegant charm carefully cultivated by the noble ladies in the capital. She had a slender waist, long legs, tall and bright, and her ebony-like hair set off her beautiful eyes and eyebrows.

When she looked at people, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were raised, cold and proud. Such a clear and beautiful appearance would attract men one after another with just a flick of her finger.

“If you don’t hand over the child today, we will use yourself as collateral!”

Liu Laoliu wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, feeling that such a beauty, marrying Gu Huaizhi, a sickly person, was truly a waste.

When he brought her back today, he would definitely taste her, and then sell her to a low-grade brothel.

Su Wan’s eyes turned cold, and she kicked him in the stomach, and hit Liu Laoliu’s face with the hoe in her hand.

Liu Laoliu let out a miserable cry, covering his bleeding nose, and with a pain in his neck, he fell heavily to the ground from the blow of the hoe.

“If you dare to look at me like that again, be careful of your dog eyes!”

Su Wan’s hoe fell three inches below his navel, and Liu Laoliu screamed in pain. Su Wan sneered, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to! Deceiving me by selling the two children to a wealthy family as servants, but you secretly planning to sell them into a brothel.”

“No, no, I didn’t!” Liu Laoliu’s face twisted in fear, and cold sweat dripping down like beans. His weakest part had suffered a heavy blow, almost costing him his life.

Regaining his strength, he shouted to his companions, “Are you all dead? Come and save me!”

His companions’ scalps tingled and then looked at Su Wan’s thin arms and legs. Those few moves were decisive, and just the miserable cry of Liu Laoliu made their lower bodies feel a chill, clenching their buttocks.

With a determined look in their eyes, they gathered their courage. They couldn’t even defeat a woman.

Su Wan raised her red lips and glanced sideways.

Several people felt chills in their hearts and retreated under Su Wan’s gaze.

They covered their crotches, and tried to reason with Su Wan.

“Mrs. Gu, how can you go back on your word? It was you who approached us to sell the children. You accepted the money, and now you refuse to give the children to us. You even injured our leader. How can this be fair?”

“Let’s talk things out. Let’s have a civilized conversation.”

Don’t resort to violence so quickly.

“I won’t sell them anymore.” Su Wan, seeing that her intimidation had worked on them, she smirked and said, “I have a bad temper. I prefer action over words.”

Su Wan let go of the hoe and, with a clever move, she kicked Liu Laoliu, sending him flying and crashing into the wall.

Liu Laoliu’s bones seemed to break, and he struggled to catch his breath, lying motionless on the ground.

The companion’s facial muscles twitched as they swallowed hard and said in unison, “We, we won’t buy anymore.”
