Chapter 223: Chapter 223 This Bed is Too Crowded

Song Xiaodong’s gaze swept over Sun Dongkui and his son. He said slowly, "Are you still thinking about how you’ll deal with Sister Qiuhua and retaliate against her once I leave?"

The two were even more frightened because it seemed like Song Xiaodong could guess their thoughts immediately.

"You might as well try." Song Xiaodong grinned, stretched out both hands as if to pat their shoulders lightly, then said with a smile, "I’m telling you, you won’t have the chance."

"Let’s go." Song Xiaodong turned, came to Song Xiaoru’s side, took her hand, and with a completely dazed Cao Qiuhua, they left Sun Changkui’s household with great swagger.

"Dongzi, that really scared me to death just now." Song Xiaoru clutched Xiaodong’s fingers tightly, her gaze moving back and forth over him.

"It’s nothing; this small scene couldn’t trouble your brother here." Song Xiaodong winked at Song Xiaoru.

"You," Song Xiaoru, seeing that Xiaodong was indeed fine, finally sighed with relief then said, "But today, if it weren’t for this, it would have been difficult to end things peacefully. They wouldn’t let Qiuhua go easily."

"Yeah, some people, you just can’t reason with them. You have to speak to them with fists."

Nowadays it’s a society ruled by law, and Song Xiaoru didn’t quite agree with Xiaodong’s approach, but she found it hard to argue. As Xiaodong had said, if they tried to discuss the law here with Sun Changkui’s family, Qiuhua’s life would have been ruined.

It wasn’t until they returned home that Cao Qiuhua finally snapped back to reality, staring at Xiaodong and said, "Dongzi, that... that... was too awesome." She simply couldn’t think of a better adjective to praise Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "It’s nothing really; I just learned a few moves in the army."

"What you learned in the army made you this awesome? No way?"

"I also studied some martial arts."

"Oh, that explains it."

Actually, Cao Qiuhua didn’t really understand martial arts, but from what she had seen in movies and TV shows, it seemed like martial arts was something very impressive, so she believed it.

After a brief excitement, Cao Qiuhua’s expression suddenly changed and said, "Ah, you guys should hurry and leave. What if they come to retaliate? That Sun Dongkui is not easy to deal with. What if he brings people here to seek revenge? Even if you can fight, that won’t be enough."

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Don’t worry. If he comes, he’ll be coming to apologize to you."

"Apologize? Are you joking?" Cao Qiuhua gave a bitter smile. Even if she thought Xiaodong was formidable, she didn’t believe Sun Changkui would come to apologize.

"Just wait and see." Song Xiaodong’s smile was even brighter.

"Stop trying to comfort me."

Song Xiaoru smiled slightly and said, "Qiuhua, Dongzi wouldn’t lie to you. Just relax."

Seeing Song Xiaoru say this, Cao Qiuhua was slightly more reassured, but to say she fully believed it was impossible; it would be too absurd. Not only was Sun Changkui the village chief, he was also a big mine owner, he had money, and knew many people. Even if Xiaodong was formidable, he was still no match for the powerful local influence.

As they were speaking, sudden chaotic noises came from outside, making Cao Qiuhua’s heart jump into her throat, but the noises quickly disappeared. It seemed like many people ran past their front door but didn’t come in.

Beset with worry while waiting at home, Cao Qiuhua used the excuse of going out to buy some things to gather information and found out that Sun Changkui and his son had suddenly fallen ill and were taken to the hospital.

This scared Qiuhua quite a bit, so she hurried back and said, "Oh no, the Sun family father and son are in the hospital. Did Dongzi hit them too hard?"

Song Xiaodong said calmly, "It’s okay, I applied a little technique on them that will make their whole body ache. It’ll take them a while to recover, and the hospital won’t find anything. Even if they want to sue me, they can’t. With no other choice, they will definitely come begging to you."

"This... I’m kinda confused."

Song Xiaoru hugged Qiuhua’s shoulders and shook them gently, saying softly, "All in all, you don’t have to worry. With Dongzi helping you, you definitely won’t end up marrying that fool. And you don’t have to think too much about the money either, I’ll help you too."

They chatted all afternoon. Qiuhua was nervous the entire time, but nothing happened, and the Sun family didn’t show up at their door.

In the end, she simply didn’t think about it anymore. How much worse could things get, she thought. If it comes to it, I’ll just marry that fool.

So at dinner time, Qiuhua cooked a few dishes, and she started drinking with the Song siblings.

At this point, Xiaoru was also feeling much better, and she too began drinking. It was a rare chance for her to relax like this through drinking, and before they knew it, it was after 10 PM. Both women were so drunk they could hardly walk straight.

Song Xiaoru, rubbing her forehead, said, "I really drank too much. I can’t do this, I need to sleep. Qiuhua, where will we sleep?"

Qiuhua, slurring her words, said, "Sleep in the bed, in the bed. There’s only one bed in my house, we three can squeeze in together."

"So we three will squeeze in, okay then." Song Xiaoru did not refuse.

After freshening up a bit, Qiuhua and Xiaoru both got into the bed, but Xiaodong felt a bit awkward. In the countryside, no one really wore pajamas, and these two, clearly too drunk, stripped off their outer layers and lay on the bed in just their underwear — the room didn’t even have air conditioning. Though it was relatively cool, they didn’t cover themselves with blankets, which was really too provocative.

"Dongzi, get into bed, hee hee, I remember when we were kids, there was one time when all three of us slept together in one bed just like this."

Song Xiaodong said, "I don’t remember that."

Song Xiaoru mumbled, "I do, you were only about six years old then, you probably don’t remember."

Qiuhua giggled, "I remember that time, you, my boy, were sleeping with us in the bed butt naked."

"Butt naked..." Song Xiaodong was sweating.

"Hey hey, should we sleep butt naked tonight too?" Qiuhua teased Xiaodong.

"That... let’s not," Song Xiaodong said awkwardly, rolling his eyes. Qiuhua could really joke.

Qiuhua laughed, "Yo, feeling shy? Hurry up and get into bed so I can turn off the light."

Song Xiaodong figured there was nowhere else to sleep here, so he might as well make do and got into the bed, of course on Xiaoru’s side.

Only, things were different from their childhood. The bed was still the same size, but now they were all adults. In this old bed, less than one and a half meters wide, sleeping three people was extremely crowded, and Xiaodong was almost falling off.

"Move in a bit, it’s fine." Xiaoru reached back and pulled at Xiaodong’s arm. Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, then shifted a bit closer, pressing against Xiaoru’s body.
