The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Yuchuan could tell that the commotion outside was made by Shi Fang and Zhao Shugen, whom he had fought with earlier. He guessed that they had brought people to cause more trouble.

“Lie down on the bed,” Xiao Yishan glanced at Yuchuan and went outside.

Yuchuan understood his second brother’s intention and immediately complied.

Su Qingyue saw the way her two brothers acted and realized that there were unwelcome guests outside. She noticed that Xiao Yuchuan had crawled into the quilt and was constantly groaning in pain, she guessed that it was the people he had fought with earlier who had come to settle the score.

Outside in the courtyard, Xiao Yishan saw that Shi Fang and Shi Mu from the Shi Family, and Zhao Shugen from the Zhao Family had brought a big group of people into the yard, along with some onlooking villagers.

Zhao Shuhai, who had been hit by a stone, and Shi Cai, who had been kicked by the third brother, were not there.

“Second Brother Xiao, you didn’t go hunting today.” Shi Fang from the Shi

Family stepped forward angrily, “Your nephew Chuan injured my older brother

Shi Cai, call him out and give us an explanation!”

Zhao Shugen was also furious, “My brother’s head has been smashed, get

Chuan out here, or else…”

“Or else what?” Xiao Yishan’s face was cold, his imposing aura made others fear him.

Shi Mu from the Shi Family yelled, “Xiao Yishan, your youngest brother injured someone, are you trying to cover up for him?”

“That’s right, Chuan injured someone, don’t think you can just hide and deny it!” A relative of the Shi Family spoke up, “We won’t let the Xiao Family off the hook without an explanation today!”

Xiao Yishan’s expression turned icy, “Explanation?” He glanced at Zhao Shugen, “You fought with my third brother, and now you’re perfectly fine, while my third brother is still lying in bed. It’s already a favor that we didn’t ask for an explanation, and now you dare to come here and make demands as if we’re easy to bully?”

Zhao Shugen was actually a bit afraid of Xiao Yishan, but was unwilling to admit defeat, “My brother Shuhai’s head has been smashed open, he’s still lying in bed unconscious. Your family has to pay for his medical expenses!”

“As far as I know, you were the one who first talked about my wife, which is why Chuan fought with you. As for your brother…” Xiao Yishan looked around at everyone, “Who knows who Zhao Shuhai offended, or who hit him? He just happened to be in my family’s courtyard, it’s unreasonable to ask my family to compensate just because someone tripped over in our yard.”

“That’s…exactly…” Aunt Zhang, who was among the villagers watching the excitement, chimed in, “Zhao Family, don’t falsely accuse the Xiao Family. We all saw it. Chuan was fighting with you when your brother sneakily tried to kick Chuan from behind. That hole in your brother’s head definitely wasn’t caused by Chuan, you should find whoever did it…”

“Shugen, are you trying to frame the Xiao Family?” Another villager chimed in,

“Maybe your brother really offended someone and got in trouble while in the Xiao Family’s courtyard. You and Chuan fought and you’re fine, that stone hit hard, the Xiao Family is an honest family, they wouldn’t hit your brother to death. Don’t falsely accuse good people!”

Zhao Shugen’s face turned pale and green, “I don’t care…my brother was injured here…”

“If you keep running your mouth, do you believe I won’t lift you out of here upside down?” Xiao Yishan narrowed his eyes threateningly, his iron fist making a cracking sound.

Zhao Shugen looked at his burly figure, much more muscular than himself. He remembered that Xiao Yishan had once killed a fierce bear in a fight… his strength was enormous….
