Chapter 196: Chapter 149: Heartache for My Daughter_1

Qian Yijin looked up at Wan Dazhong with admiration and said, "Uncle Wan, your kung fu is really good, can you teach me? I want to be as powerful as you."

Wan Dazhong smiled and said, "As long as Brother Jin wants to learn, Uncle Wan is always willing to teach you. However, I honed my skill fighting wild creatures in the woods. Brother Jin should prioritize your studies and just learn some basic kung fu."

Qian Yixiu watched Qian Yijin and Wan Dazhong, a few steps ahead, as the setting sun stretched their shadows long. Qian Yijin slightly in front, Wan Dazhong a little behind, even from the back, the big and the small both carried themselves with extraordinary poise and grace.

Her little brother had always been so excellent; she had known that for a long time. But Wan Dazhong—could it be that he truly transformed from a frivolous young man into a mature, righteous person with true skills?

She had heard that Wan Dazhong was good at martial arts, but she had not expected him to be this good, this impressive. His prowess, even among hunters, must be one of the outstanding, right?

Unable to hold back, Qian Yixiu once again asked, "Uncle Wan, do you still like to hang out with Fan Erhei and the others?"

Qian Manxia scolded with a flushed face, "Yixiu, don’t talk nonsense."

Slowing his steps, Wan Dazhong waited for Qian Yixiu to catch up beside him before smiling and saying, "I haven’t been associating with them for a long time. When Uncle Wan was young, I got annoyed being forced by my father to practice martial arts and hunting every day, so I often ran wild with a few boys of similar age. As I grew older, I began to appreciate my father’s good intentions. As a hunter, if you don’t have some real skill, you’ll eventually hurt yourself. My father pushed me for my own good. I eventually settled down and began to properly follow my father in practicing martial arts and hunting."

So he had been a rebellious teenager on the brink of crime, but had found his way back and become an aspiring young man. His experience was quite inspiring.

Qian Yixiu nodded and said, "Oh, then I’m relieved..." Then, realizing something was off, she quickly feigned pitifulness, "Yixiu is afraid of Fan Erhei, now I even get scared when I see him."

Qian Yijin tenderly took his sister’s hand and said, "Sister, don’t be afraid. In the future, brother will learn martial arts well with Uncle Wan and won’t let him bully you or mother anymore."

Wan Dazhong also said, "Rest assured, Yixiu, Fan Erhei won’t dare to bully you anymore."

Qian Yijin thoughtfully asked, "The other day I saw Fan Erhei with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and he also seemed to have a limp. When he saw me, he quickly ran far away. Did Uncle Wan take care of him?"

Wan Dazhong just chuckled and remained silent, signaling agreement.

When they reached the fork in the road, Qian Manxia straightened her hair and clothes, and looking down said to Qian Yijin and Qian Yixiu, "Don’t mention this when we get back. Father is not well, and it would worry him if he knew."

The little brother and sister nodded in agreement, fixing their hair and clothes as well.

A few meters after parting with Wan Dazhong, as they walked away, Qian Yixiu looked back and saw Wan Dazhong still standing there watching them. When he noticed Qian Yixiu looking back, he awkwardly scratched his head and walked off to the east.

If Auntie were to marry such a man who admired her so much and also possessed true skills, it wouldn’t be so bad.

Qian Yixiu glanced at Auntie with her cheeks flushed red, and said to Qian Yijin, "Brother, do you think Uncle Wan can be considered a hero saving a beauty today?"

Before Qian Yijin could answer, Qian Manxia’s face turned even redder, and she smacked Qian Yixiu on the back saying, "You’re going to kill me with your nonsense. What beauty? You’re embarrassing me to death."

Qian Yixiu indignantly said, "Why are you hitting me, Auntie? I said Uncle Wan is a hero saving a beauty, and I’m not referring to you, so what are you embarrassed about?"

Qian Yijin couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.

Qian Manxia stamped her foot and walked ahead, ignoring them.

When they got home, indeed they saw Lady Wu handling a wild chicken. As she assisted in the kitchen, Lady Wu said to Qian Manxia, "Dazhong just brought it over. I’ll braise it with some ginseng to nourish your father."

After looking at Qian Manxia with her red eyes, Lady Wu assumed it was because she was missing Manjiang and crying from sadness. Sighing, she said, "Your brother is gone, and it’s no use being sad anymore; you have to look forward. Mother thinks Wan Dazhong is not bad; he’s a good man with abilities and comes from a simple family. Though his home is in the countryside, it’s much better than the Old Yang family in town..."

Qian Manxia, her face flushed, bent down to wash the muddy knife used for the sacrificial offering. Fortunately, Lady Wu, busy handling the wild chicken, didn’t notice.

Wan Dazhong’s visits to the Qian family’s third wife became even more frequent, coming at least twice every three days. This was because he did not only come to seek martial arts advice from Qian Sangui but also to personally teach Qian Yeejin martial arts. Being an apprentice by the afternoon and a mentor by the evening, he had to have his dinner at the Qian family’s home.
