Right now, Su Jing Long had the taunting expression of I have a handsome captain as a brother-in-law and you do not.
It truly was a case of one speaking only of another’s shortcomings. Su Jin Biao glared hatefully at him and pushed him away angrily, then ran off.
He was still wondering why. Yesterday, his mother had said that Wei Zhen Hui would be his brother-in-law soon, yet at noon today, the whole village was talking about Wei Zhen Hui marrying Su Mian.
Su Jin Long had taken advantage of his eloquence. Shaking his head as he walked into the house, he saw the note in Su Mian’s hand and said worriedly, “Sister, I will go with you.”
Wei Zhen Hui had just become his brother-in-law and Su Hong was already asking to meet his sister. She was obviously trying to start a quarrel.
Either way, Su Hong was in the army. He had heard Instructor Wu say that it was the same for men and women when entering the army. They trained their bodies first before talking about other things, so he could not allow his sister to suffer.
“No need, it would be inconvenient for you to go when the matter is between girls.” Su Mian smiled, wanting to see just what Su Hong was going to do.
After being reborn, Su Mian had not had direct contact with Su Hong apart from the night when Liu Da had been bitten by a wolf. She had asked to meet her tonight clearly because of Wei Zhen Hui.
Su Mian’s body was in a much better state than in her previous life. She also knew Tai Chi so she was not afraid even if two or three men attacked her simultaneously.
Winters in the northeast were dry and cold.
There was no moonlight, only a sky full of stars. Carrying a flashlight, Su Mian walked out of the house.
Su Hong had asked her to meet in the small woods next to the bridge on the east side. The Su River flowed under the bridge. In her past life, Wei Zhen Hui had asked for his ashes to be scattered here.
The Su River had many bends and twists and Su Mian’s house was the closest to the river. Was this the reason that Wei Zhen Hui had wanted to scatter his ashes here?
How could it be? Su Mian smiled unconsciously. She was being too sentimental.
Su Mian swung her flashlight a few times. Her surroundings were pitch black and no one was there. Her misty breath rose and fell in the light from the flashlight.
The river had long been frozen and there were still several large holes in the surface, left by people who had been fishing here during the day.
Su Jin Long used to like catching fish in here during winter. Sometimes there were so many that he could fill two big buckets.
For families in this era, it was considered very delicious.
“Su Mian.” Su Hong instantly saw Su Mian standing by the river.
“Cousin.”
Su Mian turned around with a light smile. In this dark night, Su Hong felt that her little cousin had indeed grown up and was slender and elegant.
Su Mian was the kind of person who caused people to stare. At 18, Su Mian had round eyes and exquisite features, elegant and refined. Even if she was compared to the beautiful girls from the military song and dance ensemble, she would be outstanding.
It was no wonder that Wei Zhen Hui felt attracted. Even she wanted to look at her more.
Su Hong was wearing a brand new red cotton padded jacket, black cotton trousers and military shoes with rounded toes.
Su Hong’s square face looked heroic and if she was not standing next to the bright and refined Su Mian, she would also be a rare beauty.
Glancing at Su Mian coldly, Su Hong cast her gaze to the side ominously, her tone of voice icier than the coldest winter days, “Su Mian, since we are sisters, I will not beat around the bush. I will only ask that you go and break off the marriage at the Wei family’s house.”
Looking closer, it could be seen that Su Hong’s eyes were still swollen. Even though she had applied powder, Su Mian could still tell at a glance that she had been crying.
Su Mian smiled coldly.
A leopard could not change its spots.
In her previous life, Su Hong had spent all her efforts to separate her from Wei Zhen Hui for 30 years, unable to voice her love and resentment.
In this life, where did she find her confidence?
What right did she have to request this of her? What status did she have?
Could it be that Su Hong still thought she was the timid and cowardly Su Mian?
