Su Bin glanced at Qin Zhenzhen once again, puzzled by her reluctance to go out and welcome her brothers and sisters-in-law. Why was this fat girl acting differently now?
Su Ping clenched his fists, showing his support for Su Bin. "Exactly! With Second Brother here, Third Brother has nothing to fear! Whoever dares to attack Third Brother will have to deal with me!"
He seemed ready to start a fight.
Qin Zhenzhen glanced at Su Ping, recognizing his violent nature. Among the siblings, he was the most uncontrollable and aggressive. If a fight were to break out, he would be the most difficult to restrain.
Three of the original host's four brothers were known for their strength and had a reputation as troublemakers. Their martial prowess was not to be underestimated, and they were labeled as villains.
If Qin Zhenzhen didn't intervene, it was highly likely that a fight would erupt.
Realizing that she needed to remove the large pool of blood in the courtyard before her brothers noticed it, Qin Zhenzhen prepared to clean it up. However, it was too late.
The four brothers and two sisters-in-law had already arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.
Qin Zhenzhen's elder brother, Qin Dalong, rushed to the front and his eyes widened as if he had made a significant discovery.
"Zhenzhen, why is your forehead bleeding? Did they hurt you?"
Qin Zhenzhen quickly shook her head.
"Su Bin, you scoundrel! As a scholar, you have the audacity to strike your wife!" Qin Zhenzhen's second brother, Qin Erlong, was even more incensed. He reached out to grab Su Bin's shirt, intending to teach him a lesson, but he was stopped.
"Stop spouting nonsense! My third brother just arrived from school and hasn't even entered the house yet. How could he have hit her!"
Third Brother Qin Sanlong's voice thundered, overpowering the others. "If it wasn't Su Bin, could it have been you few? Who gave you the audacity to lay a hand on my sister?"
Qin Silong clenched his fist, his anger evident. "Su Ping, don't think that everyone will cower in fear just because you've learned some insignificant martial arts! Let me tell you, our fists are not made of paper!"
"Then let's find out whose fist is stronger!" Su Ping retorted defiantly.
Qin Zhenzhen was at a loss for words. The original host's four brothers were indeed troublemakers. They seemed ready to fight as soon as they arrived.
Sensing the imminent clash, Qin Zhenzhen rushed over and pleaded, "Second Brother, Third Brother, let's talk calmly. They didn't harm me. I accidentally bumped into a rock."
However, Qin Erlong remained skeptical. "Zhenzhen, are you trying to appease them? Are you too afraid to tell us that you were actually assaulted?"
"Don't worry, you have nothing to fear. Regardless of who's right or wrong, if they dare to lay a hand on you, we'll give them ten times the payback!"
Qin Zhenzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry at their overprotective nature.
She had witnessed siblings who doted on their younger sister, but never had she seen such blind affection from a brother.
Qin Zhenzhen reiterated once more, hoping to make them understand. "I genuinely bumped into a rock accidentally!"
At that moment, Qin Zhenzhen's sister-in-law, Wang Lan, exclaimed, "Why is there so much blood here? Zhenzhen, did you hit this rock?"
Qin Zhenzhen's brother and sister-in-law hurried towards the stone and were taken aback when they saw the sizable pool of blood.
"Zhenzhen, did you bleed?" her eldest brother inquired anxiously.
Qin Zhenzhen was at a loss for words.
"It must be! This is human blood!" Qin Zhenzhen's eldest brother's expression contorted. With years of experience in slaughtering pigs, he could easily distinguish between human and animal blood.
"Zhenzhen, tell me the truth. Is this your blood?" The four brothers and two sisters-in-law directed their gazes at her, awaiting her response.
Qin Zhenzhen could only confess guiltily, "Yes, it's mine, but the wound is not severe. It has stopped bleeding. Look, there isn't much blood on my bandage, right?"
