Chapter 46 The Live-in Son-in-Law Gets a Lesson

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't scold him, Liu Tianqi boldly continued, "Miss Su, my mother is very easy to talk to. If you agree, I'll bring her to live with me. She can help you with some work. As you can see, I'm quite thin and weak, and my health isn't very good, so I can't work in the fields."

Su Xiaoxiao looked him over and saw that he was indeed thin with thin arms and looked frail.

Liu Tianqi continued.

"But you can leave the dishwashing and stuff to me. I'll definitely be able to do it well. As for cooking, let my mom do it. You can stay home and enjoy yourself. My mom can take care of the kids. I think your two children are quite well-behaved..."

As he spoke, he reached out his withered hand, intending to touch the two children's heads, which frightened them so much that they quickly backed away.

Su Xiaoxiao slapped the fire stick directly into his hand, making him wince and back away.

"Stop hitting her, young lady, please stop."

He jumped far away, "Miss Su, look what I've said, aren't you tempted yet? You're a widow, raising two children alone in this village, how difficult is that? Look at your neighbors, not one of them speaks up for you, they all bully you. If I came, things would be different. I'm a man, I can stand up for you, can't I?"

Su Xiaoxiao sneered, "You think you can back me up? You can't lift a finger, you're lazy and don't know anything about farming. What would I do with you? Keep a rich man at home? No, if you were even remotely good-looking, I'd be happy to suffer a loss. Don't you ever look at yourself in the mirror?"

"I……"

Liu Tianqi's face flushed red and then turned pale; he hadn't expected Su Xiaoxiao to be so sharp-tongued.

As soon as he saw it, he immediately started to act pitiful.

“Miss Su, I’ve traveled over thirty miles to get here. Can you let me in to rest for a while? I haven’t eaten anything all day and haven’t even had a sip of water.”

"Are you so pitiful? Want some water?"

"Yes, I'm so thirsty."

"Didn't you drink enough of the dishwater I poured out at noon today? I have plenty more at home, do you want it?"

"you……"

Liu Tianqi was speechless with anger once again.

"I came all this way..."

"I didn't ask you to come!"

Liu Tianqi wanted to say something more, "Miss Su, who is this person?"

A man's voice came from next door. Su Xiaoxiao looked and saw that it was Liu Zian, the youngest son of Granny Wang next door, coming out of the house.

"I heard a commotion in front of your house. Who is this man? Miss Su, do you need my help?"

Liu Zian had a righteous look on his face. Although he wasn't a particularly strong man, compared to Liu Tianqi, he was worlds apart. It was quite disgusting to look at him like that.

"I don't know why this man insists on bothering us!"

Su Xiaoxiao is now putting on an act, appearing very weak and vulnerable. I never expected that I would have such a manipulative side.

She then said to Liu Zi'an in a very pitiful tone, "Look at this man, I don't even know him, but he insists on coming into my house for a drink and a meal, and he's not going to leave. What kind of thing is this? Does he think he can take advantage of us, a widow and her child?"

Su Xiaoxiao spoke in a very pitiful tone, and as she spoke, she even managed to squeeze out two lines of tears, seemingly genuinely moved by what she was saying.

Liu Zi'an became even more agitated. He immediately rushed over and grabbed Liu Tianqi by the collar. "Get out of here right now! Do you hear me? If I see you harassing our Miss Su again, I will absolutely not let you off easily!"

He spoke very rudely, which frightened Liu Tianqi at the time.

Liu Tianqi stared with dead fish eyes, completely at a loss for words. He was so frightened that he almost wet himself.

"I want more water!"

"Get lost! If you want water, there's plenty in the river over there!"

Liu Zi'an kicked Liu Tianqi right in the butt, sending him staggering. Liu Tianqi didn't dare linger any longer and had to slink away.

After driving Liu Tianqi away, Liu Zian walked over to Su Xiaoxiao and said as if to take credit, "Qiaoqiao, don't worry. If anyone else comes to harass you in the future, I will definitely not let them off easily. Just tell me."

After he finished speaking, Liu Zian's face showed a very smug look.

Su Xiaoxiao was getting impatient and quickly said to Liu Zian, "You should go home first. If your mother comes out later, you won't be able to explain anything."

Indeed, if my own mother were to interfere, this matter would become even more troublesome.

After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she saw Liu Zi'an still quite embarrassed as he said goodbye to Su Xiaoxiao and went home.

Before leaving, he asked Su Xiaoxiao if she wanted to send Dabao to his private school to study with him.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "I need to discuss this with Dabao. I'll let you know when I have a result, okay?"

Liu Zian nodded and said, "Okay."

After hearing this, Da Bao asked Su Xiaoxiao, seemingly understanding but not quite, "Mom, do I really have to go to a private school to study?"

"Well, I guess this counts as early education? But studying at a private school in the village isn't a long-term solution. For now, following Liu Zi'an will allow you to learn something. In the future, I'll send you to study in town. If you do well, I'll even send you to study in the capital. This is all for your own good."

After hearing this, Da Bao was a little confused, but he understood Su Xiaoxiao and knew that Su Xiaoxiao was doing it for his own good.

He said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Mother, I know. You must have put in a lot of effort to help me study. I will study hard in the future to repay you."

Su Xiaoxiao felt that Dabao was becoming more and more sensible, and she couldn't help but feel very happy.

Su Xiaoxiao was very pleased at this moment. She said to Dabao, "When you go to a private school in the future, your teacher will also tell you these principles."

“In a few days, I will take you to study with Liu Zian.”

"But if I leave, there will be no one at home to help take care of Xiaobao."

"It's okay, let Xiaobao go with you. Anyway, she really wants to study now."

After saying that, Da Bao started to feel happy.

The thought of reading and learning to read with his sister instantly made all his worries disappear.

At this time, Da Bao had no idea that if he studied well, he could go to school in the county in the future, and then he could live in the county town and no one would bully his family anymore.
