Chapter 1817
The Fierce Mu Xueqing
After a long while, Mu Xueqing finally asked Wang An:
"So you mean you encountered bandits in the mountains this time?"
Wang An nodded, not intending to lie, and said:
"Yeah, I did run into them. Recently, there's been a nationwide sanitation campaign, and as a result, a lot of decent scoundrels have gone to hide in the mountains."
"Damn it, first we ran into a bunch of TS guys, then we ran into another bunch of guys who were moving between our side and the Rakshasa side, but our Little Black and Little White spotted them beforehand, and then we killed them all."
Wang An originally didn't want to tell Mu Xueqing about this, but he was too lazy to lie to her.
The main point is that, as the old saying goes, "Once you tell one lie, you'll need to tell countless more to cover it up. And the worst part is that lies will eventually be exposed."
Besides being too lazy to lie, the guns and gold that Wang An and his three companions brought back would eventually be known to their families. However, Wang An simply couldn't explain the origin of those things. He couldn't very well say that he found them in the mountains, could he? That would be too far-fetched.
Besides, this wasn't the first or second time Wang An had killed someone in the mountains; Wang Dazhu and his wife, as well as Mu Xueqing, all knew about it.
After Wang An finished speaking, Mu Xueqing pouted and complained with reddened eyes:
“We have money and food now, why do you insist on going to the mountains to carry that kind of wooden club? What will happen to our family if something happens to you? What will happen to me and the children?”
Mu Xueqing has always been a very strong woman, but her actions and behavior, along with the cowardly and timid words she uttered, clearly indicate that she is terrified.
Wang An chuckled and deliberately put on a cocky air, saying:
"What's there to be afraid of? Let me tell you, my dear wife, even if something really happens to me, the family fortune and assets I leave you are more than enough for our family to spend in a lifetime. Not just in a lifetime, but even in several lifetimes. Don't worry."
After saying that, Wang An grabbed Mu Xueqing's hands and started kneading them.
And you know what? Ever since Mu Xueqing had her baby and hardly did any work, her hands have become incredibly soft and delicate, and they feel amazing to the touch.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xueqing was taken aback at first, then quickly pulled her hand back, swung it up, and slapped Wang An's arm while angrily cursing:
"Get the hell out of here! What the hell are you going to do with money if anything happens to you? Can't you even speak properly? Can't you even speak properly?"
Towards the end, Mu Xueqing was hitting and cursing at the same time, and finally, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.
When I chatted with Mu Xueli, he told me a lot about his older sister, Mu Xueqing, when she was at her parents' home.
It is said that when Mu Xueqing was a girl at home, she was quite fierce. Because she was targeted by people when the production team distributed grain and vegetables, it was common for her to fight with them while holding an iron shovel or steel fork.
Because of fighting over territory when digging for wild vegetables and picking mushrooms, it wasn't uncommon for them to get into fights with other people's young women and wives.
Even when dealing with the scoundrels and petty thugs in the village with ill intentions, Mu Xueqing was not intimidated at all. She would grab a knife or axe and chase them for two miles, determined to kill them. Overall, before marriage, Mu Xueqing was incredibly fierce and unruly, even more manly than most men.
However, Wang An knew that Mu Xueqing was actually forced into it back then; she was simply forced into it out of desperation.
Her father was sickly, her younger brother was too young to handle things, and her younger sister was still young and ignorant. Her mother alone was definitely not enough, so she had to stand up for herself and be tough. Otherwise, her family would not be able to survive in Sujiatun and would be bullied to death.
Therefore, the fact that Mu Xueqing was so crazy and fierce at this moment, completely lacking any semblance of womanhood, shows that she was truly angered by what Wang An said.
Wang An wasn't angry at being hit and scolded. He reached out and hugged Mu Xueqing tightly, then raised a hand to wipe away her tears, comforting her with a smile:
"Oh dear, it's all in the past now! We're back safe and sound, aren't we? I just thought we were a couple, and I shouldn't have kept things from you, so I told you. But look at you, you're still doing this. Let me tell you, I haven't even dared to tell our father and mother these things."
Mu Xueqing pushed Wang An away forcefully, then glared at him fiercely before pouting and saying with great dissatisfaction:
"Who told you to talk nonsense? We've finally gotten to live a good life, and you say such discouraging things to make me angry."
As she spoke, Mu Xueqing raised her hand, extended her slender and long index finger, pointed it at Wang An's nose, and continued through gritted teeth:
"Let me tell you, Xiao Wang An, if anything happens to you, I'll throw this whole rope up to the crooked tree, put it around my neck, and then I'll go with you."
Before Mu Xueqing could finish speaking, Wang An reached out and covered her mouth, hurriedly saying:
"Hey, damn it! Stop, stop, stop, stop! Don't you dare say that! Are you crazy, woman? Why are you spouting such nonsense?"
Mu Xueqing shook her head vigorously and used both hands to pry Wang An's hand off her mouth. Wang An didn't really want to cover Mu Xueqing's mouth, so he let go.
After breaking free from Wang An's grasp, Mu Xueqing stubbornly said:
"Fine, don't say it then. Anyway, you understand what I mean. Let me tell you, you think you can just leave me all alone? No way! Humph, you've been spoiled rotten."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, it's my fault, it's my fault, it's all my fault, oh my god, you tiger woman, you're really fucking tiger!"
Wang An raised his right hand in a gesture of surrender, showing his genuine helplessness towards his wife.
Based on Wang An's understanding of Mu Xueqing, if something were to happen to him, this woman might actually do something like committing suicide for love.
There was no way to stop Mu Xueqing from being so stubborn; once she got going, not even nine oxen could pull her back.
But what needs to be said is that Wang An was deeply moved.
Wang An never expected that Mu Xueqing would say such a thing.
In this world, if a woman is willing to die for her man, then she undoubtedly loves him deeply. (End of Chapter)
