Chapter 58: Chapter 58 The young Wife_1
Qian Sangui was shocked. “What’s going on?”
Lady Wu said indignantly, “Just now on the road, she stopped me and said she wants to strengthen family ties by having Xiuxiu marry her grandson Cai Wa as a child bride. She also said Yixiu is just a girl who eats for free, and since she’s going to marry someone eventually, why not send her off to her in-laws’ house earlier and save our family some food.”
Furious, Qian Sangui banged his cane several times and cursed, “A greedy and despicable shrew, too detestable! If it weren’t for my second brother’s sake, I’d really want to beat her to death with this cane.”
“That day in the courtyard, when you were eating and said Xia Grass was Yixiu’s idea, Mother Duo was all ears. She must have set her sights on Yixiu then and had Lady Tang come to propose,” said Lady Wu.
Clenching his teeth in anger, Qian Sangui cursed, “Not to mention Li Shuanzi and Mother Duo are no good, and Cai Wa, who is still so young, causes trouble everywhere. Even if it were a better family, I couldn’t bear to send Yixiu off when she’s so young. Pah, I can’t believe they’d come up with such an idea.”
Seeing Qian Sangui getting angry, Lady Wu hurriedly consoled him, “Please don’t be mad, household head. It’s not worth getting sick over that vile woman. I’ve already declined, telling Lady Tang that our daughter is a treasure we can’t bear to marry off at such a young age. If she wants to strengthen ties with the Li family, let her hurry up and have Lady Wong give birth to a girl who eats for free and send her to the Li family to be a child bride from birth. It would even save their family some food…”
The couple ranted for a while before leaving the room.
They probably felt their granddaughter was only six and it wasn’t appropriate to talk to her about matters of marriage. They also didn’t dare tell Cheng Yue, fearing it would scare her. They simply called Qian Yixiu over and warned her in a veiled manner to stay away from Lady Tang and Qian Mandua’s relatives, as none of them were good people.

Qian Yixiu’s nose was tingling. Her grandparents were truly kind.
And then there was Lady Tang, who had not yet settled her account for trying to sell her little mother to King of Hell Fang. Now she was scheming against her. It was intolerable. She had to find an opportunity to take care of her properly and teach her a lesson.
The next day in the afternoon, Duo Duo, the little friend, suddenly paid a visit. She was bored at home and ran to find Qian Yixiu to play with. This was her first time running out of the village alone to play.
It was a headache to be adored by the little loli. Qian Yixiu spent time with her making flower crowns and playing house, and also treated her to two candies and a bowl of sugar water. Since she didn’t tell her family that she had come here, Lady Wu was worried the main house would be concerned, so after playing for a while, she had Qian Yixiu walk her back home.
The two little ones held hands as they walked towards the village. As they approached the village entrance, they saw a dirty, dark-skinned boy running towards them.
This little boy was Qian Mandua’s eldest son, Li Ahcai. He went with his parents to his grandmother’s house for a meal, but his parents stopped halfway to chat with an acquaintance, and he ran on ahead to play in Huaxi Village. He happened to see the sisters Qian Yixiu and rushed over.
Qian Yixiu ignored him, pulling Qian Yiduo around him and running towards the village.
Ah Cai chased after them. Qian Yixiu’s little legs couldn’t run far before he caught up with them. Ah Cai grabbed the collar of Qian Yixiu’s dress from behind and called out, “Why the rush? My mom and grandma both say you’re my little wife, so why run away when you see your little husband?”
Qian Yixiu was so angry her face turned red, and she twisted her body to break free from his grasp, scolding, “Who’s your little wife? You’re nothing but a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh.”
Li Ahcai was furious and yelled, “Who are you calling a toad? Say it again and see if I don’t beat you to death.” With that, he shoved Qian Yixiu.
Qian Yixiu, frail, stumbled and fell to the ground. Because Duo Duo was holding her hand, she also fell, causing Duo Duo to start crying loudly. Knowing that she and Duo Duo together were no match for him, Qian Yixiu started to cry with high-pitched sobs as well.
A woman picking vegetables in the fields at the village entrance heard the noise and came over, followed by a few older children running over.
The woman was Xie Huzi’s mother, known as Auntie Xie. As she walked over, she shouted at Li Ahcai, “You’re so big now, how can you bully two little girls like that?”
Li Ahcai roared, “She’s my little wife, since when does a little wife curse her own husband as a toad? Of course she should be beaten.”
Qian Yixiu ground her teeth in anger, crying and scolding, “Shameless, thinking about taking a wife at such a young age.” She then grabbed Duo Duo and ran to Auntie Xie, saying, “Auntie Xie, I’m scared.”
Duo Duo hadn’t suffered much before, and when she heard her sister say this, her cries grew louder, yelling, “Duo Duo is scared, Cousin Ah Cai is hitting me.”
Li Ahcai roared, “I didn’t hit Duo Duo, I hit Yixiu. She’s my wife, what’s wrong with me hitting her a few times?”
The boys watching the commotion nearby egged them on without reservation, “So it’s the little husband beating his little wife, Auntie Xie just mind your own business.”
Qian Yixiu was so angry she lost her mind, cursing Li Ahcai, “Nonsense, who is your wife? You should look at yourself first, do you even match up?”
A teenager joined in the teasing, “Li Ahcai, she looks down on you, what are you going to do?” A few boys burst into hearty laughter.
Li Ahcai charged over to hit Qian Yixiu again, but was stopped by Auntie Xie. She scolded the teenager who was talking, “You little troublemaker, stop adding fuel to the fire. This girl is the granddaughter of the Qian’s third wife, she’s frail and doesn’t come to the village often, why bully her?”
The few teenagers sheepishly shut their mouths.
But Li Ahcai was relentless, still trying to free himself from Auntie Xie to hit Qian Yixiu, shouting, “My grandma already said she’d propose to your family for me, you’re my wife. You dare to curse your husband, I’ll beat you to death…”
“Who do you want to beat to death?” With a loud shout, Qian Yijin ran over, he put down the basket of books and rushed to hit Li Ahcai.
Qian Yijin, who was already burly and had learned a few fighting tricks from Qian Sangui, quickly pushed Li Ahcai to the ground and pinned him down, hitting him so hard that Li Ahcai was crying for his father and mother, shouting, “I won’t dare to hit Yixiu again, I won’t dare anymore.”
“Are you going to stop shouting or not?” Qian Yijin asked as he hit him.
“I won’t dare! Ouch, ouch, wah wah wah wah…”
Auntie Xie and the boys who came to watch the excitement all thought Li Ahcai was despicable, especially since he was an outsider daring to bully their village folks, he truly deserved the beating, so no one went up to interrupt.
Suddenly, a figure charged over and picked up Qian Yijin, hitting him furiously. It was Qian Mandua’s man, Li Ahcai’s father Li Shuanzi.
Seeing her brother at a disadvantage, Qian Yixiu could no longer remain calm and shrieked as she bent down to pick up a sharp, large rock and hurled it at Li Shuanzi.
