After being bought by seven rough men and taken to the deep mountains, I was pampered.

The loud, hoarse voice outside was spitting so hard it seemed like it could spray through the fence.

"That Qin family is a dead family! Stop playing dead! I can smell it! That's the aroma of polished rice! We can't even afford brown rice in our village anymore, where did you exiles get polished rice from? Huh?!"

"I bet she's some vixen I just bought, who went out to cheat on me with another man! Hahaha!"

The grating, lewd laughter was like a rusty saw, brutally sawing into the nerves of the men in the room.

The warmth inside the room froze instantly.

The seven men, who were still enjoying the aroma of rice, all turned pale in an instant.

That look in his eyes was like that of a pack of wolves disturbed while they were eating, exuding a chilling ferocity.

"court death."

The third brother, Qin Meng, slammed the clean, broken bowl he was holding onto the table with a loud "crack," and the already cracked ceramic bowl shattered in two.

He stood up abruptly, his muscles bulging with blood, stretching his tattered shirt as if it might tear at any moment.

Before Su Wan could react, she felt a gust of wind sweep around her.

That ferocious black bear has already charged out!

……

At the entrance of the courtyard.

Wang Dajiao, the village's notorious shrew, stood with her hands on her hips, her triangular eyes staring greedily at the Qin family's door.

She had just passed by, and the rich aroma of rice made her mouth water.

These days, if a family can get a decent meal, it's like celebrating the New Year! Why should these exiled poor wretches get to eat and drink well?

She was cursing so hard that she even reached out to push the broken wooden door.

Sudden--

"boom!"

The broken wooden door was smashed open from the inside by a tremendous force, and the resulting gust of wind almost knocked Wang Dajiao over.

A colossal figure, as large as a black tower and exuding a menacing aura, burst forth like a beast unleashed from its cage.

Wang Dajiao shuddered in fright. Before she could see clearly, a large, fan-like hand reached out to grab the fence post next to her, not at her.

It was a thick, hardwood stake, deeply embedded in the frozen ground, usually used to tether cattle!

"Go ahead and curse! Keep cursing me!"

Qin Meng's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was expressionless, only filled with ferocious killing intent.

He gripped the wooden stake with his right hand, the vein on his arm bulging like a writhing dragon, and with a low growl—

"Get it right now!!!"

A teeth-grinding "crunch" sound rang out.

Under the horrified gazes of Wang Dajiao and the surrounding villagers who were watching the spectacle, he actually managed to pull out the hardwood stake that was buried deep in the ground!

Dirt flying everywhere!

"Bang!"

Qin Meng gripped the wooden stake with one hand, as if it were a fragile chopstick. He suddenly exerted force with his large hand.

"Snap—!"

The hard wooden stake instantly shattered in his palm, scattering wood chips everywhere, some of which even hit Wang Dajiao's face, causing a sharp pain.

"If you say another lewd thing about my sister-in-law, you'll lose your head!"

Qin Meng slammed the wood chips in his hand down at Wang Dajiao's feet, his large, copper-bell-like eyes staring intently at her, his nostrils flaring as if he were about to pounce on her and bite her throat off at any moment.

Wang Dajiao was terrified.

She came here to take advantage, not to die! This Qin Laosan usually looks simple-minded and silly, how come he's so scary when he goes crazy?

"Murder...murder..." Wang Dajiao's legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the snow. He felt a warm sensation in his crotch and was so scared that he wet himself.

Just then, a light, airy laugh came from behind Qin Meng.

"Third Brother, don't be so rude. You'll frighten Auntie, and then we'll have to pay for a coffin. It's not worth it."

A man dressed in an old blue long gown, waving a tattered fan (not seeming to mind the cold in the dead of winter), slowly walked out.

It's the fourth one, Qin Yue.

He had a pair of extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes, which were now curved at the corners, and his smile was as gentle as a spring breeze. But those who knew him well knew that this was a smiling tiger who would devour people without spitting out the bones.

Qin Yue walked up to the limp Wang Dajiao and even considerately bent down: "Auntie just said that we stole this rice?"

Wang Dajiao's lips trembled, and he could barely speak: "Originally...it was originally..."

"Heh." Qin Yue chuckled, snapped his folding fan shut, and pressed it against Wang Dajiao's chin, forcing her to look up.

Where was the last trace of a smile in those peach blossom eyes? They were filled with shards of ice coated with poison!

"Auntie's nose is even more sensitive than the black dog at the edge of the village; she can smell that my rice came from shady sources from two miles away?"

Qin Yue said slowly, "Since Auntie cares so much about my family, why don't you settle the debt for the two jin of coarse flour you borrowed from us last month? With interest compounding, you should have to pay back at least five jin by now, right? If you can't pay it back..."

He patted Wang Dajiao's wrinkled old face. "I'll go talk to the village head and ask if Auntie is trying to renege on our military household debts. When that happens, even your old sow won't be enough to cover it!"

Upon hearing that the pig was to be sacrificed, Wang Dajiao cried out, "No! No! I was wrong! Master Qin, I was just being cheeky! I'll leave right now! I'll leave right now!"

Wang Dajiao no longer dared to think about that little bit of rice. She scrambled up from the snow, not even daring to pick up the shoe she had lost in fright. She ran barefoot through the snow as if a ghost were chasing her.

The villagers who had been watching the spectacle were also stunned by the two brothers' display of strength and intelligence, and they all shrank back and scattered like birds and beasts.

Is this over?

Su Wan peeked out from behind the door, her small head halfway out, watching this scene with her mouth slightly agape.

Is this the legendary... bully family in harmony? I have to say, it's... so satisfying!

She used to read about those awful relatives who would cause hundreds of chapters of entanglement in books, and it made her breasts feel blocked.

Unexpectedly, the Qin brothers were so powerful, completely overwhelming the enemy with their strength without saying a word!

Just as I was engrossed in watching, my vision suddenly went dark.

A towering figure blocked her view and also blocked the biting cold wind blowing in from outside the door.

It's Qin Lie.

He had reached the doorway at some point, his tall figure like an insurmountable city wall, protecting Su Wanyan tightly behind him.

He didn't go out to curse or lay a hand on anyone. He just stood there, and the aura he exuded, as if he had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, was enough to intimidate everyone.

"Have you seen enough?" A deep, husky voice came from above.

Su Wan looked up and met Qin Lie's gaze as he turned to look at her.

The fierceness in those deep eyes had dissipated, leaving only an awkward, clumsy concern.

"It's cold outside, pull your head back in." Qin Lie frowned, reached out and pulled her sheepskin coat, which was about to slip off, back up, his rough fingertips accidentally brushing against her soft earlobe.

Su Wan shrank her neck from the heat, but a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Since she transmigrated, this is the first time she has felt the weight of the word "safety" in this cold world.

"Big brother..." The third brother, Qin Meng, also came back at this time, and all the fierce energy he had just shown, which was like he wanted to tear the sky apart, was gone.

He scratched his head, looking at Su Wan like a big dog that had done something wrong, and asked cautiously, "Sister-in-law... was I too fierce? Did I scare you?"

He just lost his temper. That shrew calling him childless was one thing, but insulting his sister-in-law was unacceptable! His sister-in-law was so delicate and kind, she even fed him rice porridge; how could he let anyone treat her like that!

Su Wan looked at this big, muscular man who seemed completely lost in front of her and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She stretched out her small, white hand and, with great courage, gently patted Qin Meng's still slightly trembling, thick arm.

"Third Brother isn't fierce at all." The girl's eyes crinkled into crescents, her voice as sweet as honey. "Third Brother is amazing! Just now... he was so cool!"

"So handsome...so incredibly handsome?" Although Qin Meng didn't understand the word, seeing his sister-in-law's adoring gaze, he felt all the blood rush to his face, and he felt like he was floating.

[Beep! Qin Meng's heart rate has exceeded the limit: 180 (extreme vanity satisfaction)!]

[Beep! Qin Yue's heart rate fluctuation detected: 140 (Yearning for praise)!]

[Beep! Qin Lie's heart rate detected: 150 (The reserved yet protective one)!]

Su Wan smiled even more sweetly as she listened to the series of pleasant notification sounds in her mind.

This family... seems like they can actually get along!

And this heart rate is rising way too easily! It seems that as long as I stick close to these powerful figures, there's hope for the future!

Just then, Qin Mo, the second brother who hadn't spoken until now, pushed up his glasses, looked at Su Wan's frostbitten little feet, and suddenly asked calmly, "Big brother, how are you going to sleep tonight?"

The moment this blunt truth was spoken, the warm atmosphere that had just been established instantly soured.

All eyes fell on the only large kang bed, just big enough for four or five people.

Seven virile young men, plus a young wife. How are they going to sleep? That's a crucial question.
