Chapter 26 He Had a Very Good Temper!

Hmm, just by watching, it was obvious what kind of crooked thoughts someone was having. In the end, he pulled Su Yunqi over and made her sit on his strong lap.

He had only injured one arm, which didn’t affect the use of any other parts at all.

Poor little wife Su Yunqi got bullied hard again.

Rest? Rest didn’t exist at night!!!

The next day, when Su Yunqi woke up, she clutched her sore and weak waist and got up immediately to check Lu Zhao’s arm.

He was already injured, yet he still messed around, and in the bathroom no less.

She was worried his wound might get wet and infected, but thankfully it hadn’t. The bandage was still wrapped properly, so only then did Su Yunqi feel relieved. She huffed and puffed and lay back down again.

“Sleep a bit more, it’s still early. No rush to get up.”

“No way! Get up quickly. Have someone go to Third Sister-in-law’s house to pull the wiring, and also, we need to walk around the village today. You came back so late last night, maybe people don’t even know you’ve been released. Who knows what rumors are going around!”

Su Yunqi didn’t want people to think he had been in jail or escaped from prison. After all, he had been taken away in front of everyone yesterday. It was better to clear up those misunderstandings.

“Alright, alright, you’re the boss, whatever you say. Then let’s also stop by your house while we’re at it. Let’s inform your parents too, so they don’t hear incomplete bits and pieces from others and worry unnecessarily.”

Lu Zhao was still thinking about Su Yunqi’s parents, and besides, he wanted to make a good impression and leave a better image in their eyes.

“Mm, we do need to go home. My parents will definitely be grateful to you.”

After all, he had gone so far as to let Zheng Ye stab him. How could they not be moved?

The two of them got up rustling, and after having breakfast, they headed out for a stroll. Lu Zhao led Su Yunqi all around the village, and people were a little surprised when they saw him.

“Lu Zhao, when did you come back? Are you alright?”

“It’s fine now. It wasn’t even my doing, they just had me cooperate with the investigation. Then that little bully got so embarrassed and angry that he pulled out a knife at the Public Security Bureau and tried to stab me. Look here, he even cut my arm. Now he’s going to prison, and he won’t be able to bother my wife again. Everyone can rest easy now, there won’t be any little bullies coming to our village anymore.”

As Lu Zhao spoke, he rolled up his sleeve and showed the wound to everyone. If there were always little bullies coming to their village, even if it was just to cause trouble for him and Su Yunqi, the other villagers would be scared. Over time, resentment would build up.

That’s why he had to explain clearly.

Sure enough, when they heard this, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief. After all, no one could guarantee that those little bullies wouldn’t come across their daughters. What if they thought their little girl was pretty and then did something bad? No one wanted to encounter such a situation.

“Well, that’s great.”

“From now on, everyone’s safe. You two should hurry up and have a little doll. Live a happy life. It’s normal for young couples to have a little squabble, but don’t go overboard.”

Uncle Zhou subtly hinted at Lu Zhao. After all, everyone still remembered that on the first day of his wedding, Lu Zhao had carried the crying Su Yunqi to his parents’ house. Back then, the rumor that he had beaten his wife on their wedding day had spread all over the village!

It made people wary.

Su Yunqi, being clever, immediately understood the hidden meaning behind his words and quickly clarified. “Uncle Zhou! Lu Zhao didn’t hit me, he would never hit me! We’ve been living just fine! Don’t misunderstand!”

“I didn’t say that, I didn’t say anything at all. Anyway, just make sure you two live well. Lu Zhao might have a bit of a temper, but he’s a good person, hmm.” Uncle Zhou hurriedly denied it. He would never dare criticize Lu Zhao for hitting his wife in front of him!

“It’s not like that, he really has a very good temper!” Su Yunqi didn’t want the villagers to misunderstand Lu Zhao, so she rushed to clarify.

But the more she tried to explain, the more it seemed like she was making things worse.

Lu Zhao stood to the side, his arms crossed, watching her explain without saying much.

He secretly chuckled to himself, but didn’t show it on his face. He was tall and imposing, with strong features, and when he wasn’t smiling, he gave off an air of intimidation.

Everyone assumed Su Yunqi was explaining so eagerly because Lu Zhao was watching her closely.

At first, Uncle Zhou nodded along, thinking he could just brush it off. But as he looked at Su Yunqi’s beautiful, delicate face, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of sympathy. If she were his daughter, he would feel heartbroken too.

He couldn’t help but point to the marks on Su Yunqi’s neck and asked. “Then what’s that mark on your neck? It’s all bruised and purple. Don’t think I can’t tell this is from being hit! You shouldn’t let him get away with it. If he hits you, go tell your mother-in-law, let her handle him. His parents definitely don’t approve of him hitting his wife!”

“Uh…”

Su Yunqi was a bit embarrassed. She knew exactly where Uncle Zhou was pointing. The marks weren’t from Lu Zhao hitting her, nor were they from him kissing her. It had happened when she was washing her face with a towel in the morning and accidentally bumped into the clothes hanger with her neck.

Her skin was fair and delicate, so any little injury left a mark quickly. The bump had caused a bruise, which could easily be mistaken for something else. “Will you believe me Uncle Zhou if I said that I actually got this from accidentally hitting the clothes hanger?”

“You should ask your in-laws if they believe it.”

Uncle Zhou shook his head helplessly, his face showing the expression of someone who felt this child was beyond saving.

“You can look soft, but your character can’t be soft too. He’s already hitting you, and you’re still covering for him? You should make a fuss, let his family and your family know. If he’s afraid of others finding out, he won’t dare to lay a hand on you!” Uncle Zhou spoke from experience.

“They should believe me, right?”

But Uncle Zhou wasn’t listening. He walked away, shaking his head, hands behind his back.

“What should we do now? Lu Zhao, you can’t clear your name anymore.” Su Yunqi pouted, looking at him pitifully. She wasn’t trying to ruin his reputation on purpose.

“It’s fine, after a while, everyone will understand.”

Lu Zhao kindly rubbed her little head and pulled her along to continue strolling through the village. He introduced her to everyone they met, saying: “This is my little wife, yep, I didn’t go to prison, didn’t escape, all good.”

After making the rounds, everyone thought he had lost his mind.

“He’s gone crazy, running all over the village. It’s like he’s handing over his last wishes!”

“Nonsense, that’s his wife, not his daughter.”

“Oh no, he’s coming at me! Just now, Lu Zhao’s little wife smiled at me. Could it be that she’s interested in me? I don’t mind marrying a widowed second wife! When did Lu Zhao go to prison?”

A single man in his thirties rubbed his hands together, smiling in flattery. Probably, only a man as magnanimous as him would be able to accept it!

…

“Get lost! Be careful, Lu Zhao will beat you to death! What are you thinking!”

Everyone quickly ran away, keeping their distance from this old bachelor, to avoid getting splattered with blood if Lu Zhao decided to give him a beating!

“Maybe we shouldn’t go to my parents’ house today. I’m afraid they might misunderstand you too.”

Su Yunqi covered her neck and weakly suggested.

Next time, she would definitely be more careful—careful and extra careful—not letting any more marks appear on her body!
