Chapter 23: Protecting His Wife

“Fatty Su didn’t lie to you. She’s really married. We gave her all the money!”

“That’s right! I gave him three portions!”

“She even brought three burdens with her!”

“I’ve never seen him before. Fatty Su, could it be that your husband is so ugly that he can’t be seen by others?”

“Hahaha…”

The villagers laughed again.

Su Xiaoxiao finally understood. These people did not mind watching the show. They were not helping the Huang family or siding with her.

However, she really could not call Wei Ting out. It was not that she felt that he was too ugly to see anyone, but that Wei Ting would never help her deal with the Huang family and the villagers.

“What happened?”

A magnetic voice came from behind.

It was Wei Ting’s voice.

Su Xiaoxiao’s first reaction was, “Can this guy get out of bed?”

Her second reaction was that it was over. If Wei Ting did not cooperate and said that he was not her husband, she would not be able to clean up the mess.

This was very definitely something Wei Ting could do.

She clenched her fists and quickly thought of a solution. She did not notice the reaction of the Huang family and the villagers.

Wei Ting came to her side and asked softly, “Why is it so noisy at home?”

Su Xiaoxiao, who was used to Wei Ting’s sarcasm, was stunned by his gentle tone.

She subconsciously turned to look at Wei Ting.

Now she was even more confused.

Wei Ting’s face was no longer swollen, revealing his original appearance. His face was like jade, his thick eyebrows slanted to his temples, and his nose was high. His deep eyes were looking at her without blinking.

His obsidian-like eyes reflected her stunned little chubby face.

When he was lying down, he looked very long, but when he stood up, he seemed to be taller. His posture was tall and straight, like a bamboo. Even the rough linen clothes could not hide his noble aura.

Daddy Su didn’t lie to her… This was really a man a hundred times better looking than He Tongsheng!

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.

This was a man who could make all women blush and their hearts beat faster. She had just laughed at him for being so ugly that she couldn’t bear to see him. Now, she wished she could bite her tongue.

Wei Ting smiled and took out a cotton shirt to put on Su Xiaoxiao. “It’s windy in the hall. Be careful not to catch a cold.”

Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t infatuated, but this body was. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been unable to walk when she saw He Tongsheng.

That was not the point.

The main point was, why did Wei Ting suddenly become so gentle and considerate?

Wei Ting’s gaze swept across Madam Huang and Chen Feng, who stood up in shock. He turned to ask Su Ergou, “Ergou, they are… ”

Su Ergou replied, “Uncle, Aunt!”

Wei Ting said politely, “So it’s Uncle and Aunt. Please sit.”

Chen Feng couldn’t help but ask, “You are… ”

Su Ergou took a step forward. “My brother-in-law!”

What a strange feeling. He was clearly afraid of his uncle and aunt, but once his brother-in-law came out, he immediately felt confident!

For the first time since Chen Feng entered, he revealed an incredulous expression.

Madam Huang also had a look of disbelief on her face. This was even more shocking than a knife falling from the sky.

Wei Ting asked, “Uncle, Aunt, why did you come today?”

Su Xiaoxiao thought, Heh, didn’t you hear them from where you were?

“I…” Madam Huang opened her mouth and was speechless.

Just now, she kept saying that no one wanted this girl, but now, such a handsome husband appeared. This was a slap to her face.

“Husband.” After confirming that he wasn’t here to undermine her, Su Xiaoxiao’s evil streak surfaced.

She blinked her tearless eyes and said aggrievedly, “Uncle and Aunt are here to break us up.”

Madam Huang was shocked. “When did I come to break you up?”

Su Xiaoxiao continued to look aggrieved. “Didn’t Aunt just propose to me? She said that other than Second Cousin, no other man in the world would sincerely treat me well. I’m fat and stupid, and no one wants me.”

Wei Ting smiled at her. “Who said that? You’re not fat at all.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him with an even more innocent gaze than Bambi. “Am I stupid?”

Wei Ting took a deep breath and smiled. “Not stupid. Very smart.”

Su Xiaoxiao held his slender hand and asked in a choked voice, “Husband, will you not want me?”

Enough was enough!

Wei Ting smiled. “I’m your husband. Of course, I won’t abandon you.”

Su Xiaoxiao threw herself into his arms. “Husband, you’re the best!”

Su Ergou trembled. His sister was acting up again.

The villagers who were forced to eat their public displays of affection were quite full by now!

The Chen couple had their faces slapped. Thinking of how they had boasted so much, the Su family had already had a live-in son-in-law.

Su Xiaoxiao took out her handkerchief and cried. “Husband, Aunt said that Eldest Cousin is a scholar. I’m not worthy of him. You should go and become a scholar too! You’ll bring glory to our Su family!”

“They’ve already left.”

Wei Ting turned back into an iceberg in a second.

So soon.

She hadn’t acted enough.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed her chest and got up from his arms, touching his chest in the process.

Wei Ting was speechless.

“They’re all gone? Eh? Where’s Ergou?”

“He went to the kitchen to get some water.”

Wei Ting returned to his room.

Su Xiaoxiao followed with her chubby legs.

Wei Ting sat down by the bed with a cold expression. “Why are you here again?”

Su Xiaoxiao placed her chubby hands behind her back and raised her eyebrows. “Of course, I’m checking your injuries… Hubby!”

Wei Ting said coldly, “Don’t call me that.”

The gentle Wei Ting was still cute, even though he was pretending.

Su Xiaoxiao clapped her hands. “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Let me see your injuries.”

Wei Ting looked warily at the pair of chubby hands reaching towards him and said in a low voice, “I’ll do it myself.”

Su Xiaoxiao straightened and gestured. “You do it.”

Wei Ting couldn’t unbutton his shirt for a long time.

He lowered his hand awkwardly and looked away.

Amused, Su Xiaoxiao walked forward and removed his clothes, removing the gauze on his abdomen and left calf.

The last time she took medicine from the base’s pharmacy, it was all the latest special medicine. She had to admit that the effect was really good. The wound had already scabbed over, and there was no swelling at all.

However, he was so injured that his bones were visible. He had to stay in bed and recuperate.

“My calf is swollen.”

He would occasionally get out of bed, but he was supported by Su Ergou, and he used the strength of his right leg.

In order to help her, he walked out as if nothing had happened.

Su Xiaoxiao lost her intention of teasing him. She said seriously, “I’ll apply some medication for you. Tell me if it hurts.”

Wei Ting said calmly, “It’s just a small injury.”

There were many old scars on his body. He had risked his life countless times.

After treating Wei Ting’s injuries, Su Xiaoxiao went to the backyard.

The three little ones walked in and looked at him cutely.

“Are you satisfied?” Wei Ting couldn’t be bothered with the three brats.

The three little ones stretched out their little fists.

Daddy had worked hard. They massaged Daddy’s legs.

Wei Ting snorted in satisfaction. “This is the only time. I won’t help her next time… Tsk! You hit my wound!!!”
