Chapter 441: Chapter 441 the Capital
“Uncle Village Chief was looking for us about sothing?”
Xuexue set down the pork and other food she was carrying, and asked with a guilty expression.
Today, they had stood up the village head, and indeed, it was her fault.
Madam Xie glanced at them disapprovingly, “You still have the nerve to ask. Yesterday, you clearly promised the village head you would accompany the county magistrate at dinner, but today, you inexplicably ran off halfway. He ca over to ask what on earth happened?”
Big Bull, unfazed and not out of breath, said, “My wife was bitten by a dog, so we went to town to see the Doctor.”
“Yes, Mom, I was bitten by a dog. Big Bull got so anxious, he carried
to the dical Hall in town to see the Doctor,” Xuexue chid in.
“You good-for-nothing girl, it’s bad enough that you lie, but Big Bull is such an honest man! How could you teach him to lie?” Madam Xie said to Xuexue, sowhat infuriated by her unreliability.
Wrongly scolded by Madam Xie, Xuexue felt very wronged. Big Bull honest—my foot! He was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, cunning to the core.
“Mom, I…”
“What do you an ‘I’? There were so many people from the village following behind you, and none saw even a shadow of a dog. Where did this dog that bit you co from?” Madam Xie cut Xuexue off before she could finish.
Xuexue was already feeling guilty. Being scolded by Madam Xie, she imdiately ran out of things to say. She knew this lie would be exposed sooner or later. All thanks to Big Bull’s foolish idea. Glancing sideways accidentally, she saw Big Bull looking at her, grinning triumphantly.
Imdiately, rage overca her. This guy was too despicable. Originally, it was his crazy plan, and now she was the one who took the fall. Thus, she fiercely kicked his foot.
“Ouch!”
Caught off guard, Big Bull imdiately felt the effect, jumping around on the spot.
Lately, Xuexue had been striving hard in her Practice Martial Arts, and her martial arts cultivation had grown increasingly formidable. Her punch certainly packed more power than that of an average woman. In her anger, when she kicked Big Bull’s foot, she used all her strength, and no wonder Big Bull scread in pain.
“Hmph! Serves you right.”
With that remark, Xuexue turned and strode into the house.
Leaving Big Bull jumping around on the spot in pain.
Madam Xie looked on in surprise. “This wicked girl, how has she beco so rough? How dare she hit soone? With such behavior, who besides Big Bull would dare marry her? We must not offend Big Bull either—wouldn’t she end up an old maid?”
“Big Bull, are you alright?” Madam Xie felt very uneasy.
“Madam, don’t worry, I’m fine.” Though clearly in pain, Big Bull still distracted himself to reassure Madam Xie.
“Xuexue that wicked girl, it’s outrageous that she kicked you. Big Bull, please don’t be mad. I will scold her in a bit to stand up for you.”
As the pain slowly subsided, Big Bull was no longer jumping around and said, “Madam, don’t scold my wife. We were just playing around. Hitting is intimacy, and scolding is love.”
“You’re such a good child. Even after Xuexue treats you that way, you still cover for her.”
“It’s nothing, we were just ssing around.” After Big Bull finished speaking, he asked, “Madam, about the county magistrate visiting our village today, what was it for anyway? Did you hear anything from the village head?”
Madam Xie thought for a mont, “I think it was sothing about the Capital. Ah! I’m just a simple woman, I don’t understand these things. Anyway, it made my head spin, I don’t rember it clearly.”
“The Capital?”
Big Bull muttered to himself.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Big Bull looked up, smiled at Madam Xie, and then said, “Madam, since we’re not busy lately, and it’s boring anyway, I was thinking of taking my wife to the mountains tomorrow. What do you think?”
