No one expected Dong Shu to say such a thing.

This included seeing Xu Yanzhu and Xu Shiqiu, who were walking over to her with quick steps because something was wrong. This uncle and nephew duo did not expect Dong Shu, who usually had a foolish expression on her face, to say something like this.

Actually, Dong Shu was nervous too.

This was the first time she had said that to a person. Furthermore, she was a girl.

Just that when she thought about how her husband had protected her previously and the things that Yanzhu had revealed to her when he was teaching her etiquette, she felt that she should probably be worrying about something.

Although the majority of the burden in her and her husband's house was on her husband, she couldn't just ignore it.

At the very least, when others bullied her, she couldn't just wait for her husband to protect her. She had to learn how to protect herself!

It was precisely because of this that Dong Shu once again thought of her mother-in-law's indifferent expression when she looked at him.

Thinking back to how nervous he was at that time, that was why she had stood there and said those words that made Liu Er feel ashamed.

As for pretending that he didn't hear him, that was clearly out of the question.

Even if Dong Shu was simple and honest, she understood that a good person gets bullied.

If she didn't speak up today, and allowed Liu Er to scheme her cousin and husband like this, then these kinds of things would definitely happen quite a bit in the future.

Dong Shu who grew up in a village, knew clearly that in a place like the Xiahe Village, a single rumor might really harm a person.

Dong Shu did not want her husband to be in trouble, nor did she want her cousin to hate him for it.

Therefore, although she had just understood these principles for a short period of time, she still learned to counterattack.

Xu Shiqiu had been paying attention to Dong Shu the entire time. When he saw that the Young Girl behind him was clenching his fist tightly and trembling, he knew that she must be nervous.

After roughly guessing why Young Girl was so nervous, Xu Shiqiu didn't care about the other ladies that were standing not far from Dong Shu at all, and steadily walked to her side, step by step.

When he arrived at Dong Shu's side, he immediately reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, hiding her trembling hands behind his back.

"My wife, I see that you guys have also chosen quite a few shepherds today, as well as earlobes. Why don't we go back now?" Xu Shiqiu turned his face to look at Dong Shu. After he finished speaking, he saw that she had raised her head to look at him, and that there was still a trace of nervousness in her large crescent eyes. She then smiled and continued, "I think tomorrow is probably good weather, go back home and make a kite for you.

Xu Shiqiu's tone was gentle and, upon hearing his voice, Dong Shu's originally anxious heart slowly calmed down.

She looked at Xu Shiqiu and nodded obediently, then turned to look at her cousin Dong Miao and said: "Sister Miao, go back and tell Cousin not to marry Liu Er, I don't like her being my cousin." After saying that, Dong Shu did not bother to look at Liu Er's expression, and immediately turned to leave.

It was only when Dong Shu turned around, did Liu Er, who was extremely embarrassed by her words earlier, come back to her senses.

Seeing that Dong Shu had actually left after revealing so many things to him, Liu Er suddenly and angrily charged towards Dong Shu.

At this moment, her thoughts were very simple.

Since she had made a fool of herself today, she had to make Dong Shu make a fool out of herself!

Xu Shiqiu had been practicing martial arts for many years, and the moment he moved, he sensed movement from behind him.

Sensing that the Young Girl in his embrace was still tensed up from nervousness, he tightly embraced Dong Shu's waist, put his lips close to her ear and said: "My wife, take a look at your husband."

After saying that, Xu Shiqiu turned around with great effort as he brought Dong Shu along with him.

Dong Shu was still wondering what Xu Shiqiu's words meant to her. After she was led by Xu Shiqiu to turn around, she finally saw Liu Er, who was just two steps away from her.

Seeing Liu Er's sinister expression, Dong Shu was slightly flustered and wanted to say something. But at this moment, her husband quickly raised his leg, and in the next instant, Liu Er's body crashed into her master's foot.

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. None of them expected Liu Er to run towards Dong Shu, and it was obvious that he wanted to crash into her.

Even more so, he never thought that Third Young Master of Xu Family would actually raise their feet to block Liu Er, as if they were afraid that Liu Er would come close to him.

Only when Liu Er fell to the ground with a thump did the few girls who were behind Liu Er earlier all shriek in surprise.

Hearing their screams, Xu Shiqiu looked up at them in displeasure. Seeing that they had quickly shut their mouths after making contact with his gaze, he then looked at Liu Er who was lying motionlessly on the ground and said: "You bumped into this yourself, not because I kicked you."

Seeing Liu Er finish speaking, Xu Shiqiu thought for a moment before continuing, "My wife is only speaking the truth, yet you want to knock her down.

If you don't have that kind of mind, why do you get angry from embarrassment? This land belongs to Xu Family. In the past, when you came to pick wild vegetables, our Xu Family would naturally not say anything when we saw that you did not cause any trouble.

But today, you actually dared to try and pull my wife over, and even wanted to knock her down.

Because of your fault, in the future, in this area, my Xu Family will not welcome anyone from the village picking wild vegetables. "

Xu Shiqiu directly opened his mouth to amplify Liu Er's mistake, and in the end, he even said the words that prevented the villagers of Xiahe Village from picking the wild herbs.

In this way, the common folk of Xiahe Village would only be angry that Liu Er didn't know what was good for herself, and actually tried to pull Dong Shu. They even wanted to knock her down, but they would definitely not dare to have any dissatisfaction with Xu Family.

But even if there was, Xu Shiqiu would not be afraid, and he naturally had other ways to settle these matters.

Dong Shu curiously looked behind her after she finished what she wanted to tell him. It was only after Xu Shiqiu had raised his leg and then finished what he was going to say, that she completely relaxed. She glanced at her cousin who was a few steps away and said, "Sister Miao, I'll be leaving first." After saying so, she turned around and prepared to return home with her husband.

Xu Yanzhu watched as Third Uncle and her son left. After nodding to her cousin, she turned around and followed the both of them.

At this time, Xu Yanzhu was also thinking about how different Third Aunt was from today. Seeing this kind of Third Aunt, Xu Yanzhu actually felt that it was not bad.

If her Third Uncle stayed in the Xiahe Village all the time, then her Third Aunt being was always so tender and soft that there was nothing bad about it.

However, she looked at her grandmother's intentions, as if she wanted Third Uncle to return to the capital next year.

For example, if Third Uncle really returned to the capital next year, such a change in the Third Aunt would be a good thing for them.

Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu still didn't know what was going through Xu Yanzhu's mind.

Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu also did not know that when they had turned around and left, Liu Er, who had been lying motionlessly on the ground just a moment ago, suddenly opened her eyes.

In her eyes, aside from unwillingness, there was also a deep sense of resentment!

For Dong Shu, today's matter was her first attempt.

Waiting until she followed her master home, Dong Shu finally regained her senses and looked up at him, "Master, did I do well today?"

Xu Shiqiu did not expect Young Girl to suddenly open his mouth, upon hearing her words, he paused for a moment, then continued walking as if nothing had happened, he opened his mouth and asked: "Then why did my wife do this today?"

After hearing her husband's questioning, Dong Shu frowned and thought for a while before continuing, "I just feel that I cannot rely on my husband to protect me with everything I have. Currently, my husband has always had the time to accompany me. When I encounter trouble, naturally, I can only wait for him to come and help me. "But what if Hubby has something to do and can't accompany me forever?"

After saying that, Dong Shu looked up and glanced at Xu Shiqiu, whose expression did not change at all. She then said with some apprehension: "I don't know if I did well today, I thought I could not rush up to fight like aunt, and thought about what Yanzhu usually taught me, so I stabilized myself."

Xu Shiqiu never thought that his Young Girl would actually have such thoughts in his mind.

In his heart, he naturally wished that he could always stay by Young Girl's side. However, he also understood that for Young Girl to have the ability to protect himself, was naturally better than waiting for him to protect them.

But for some reason, when he looked at Young Girl like this, he felt very reluctant.

He could not bear to part with her, because he had lost his past innocence and happiness.

Thinking up to here, Xu Shiqiu sighed: "My wife, you did well today." Xu Shiqiu first affirmed Dong Shu with his words, then continued, "But I still hope that you can be happy everyday.

You have such a good temper, but I don't want to see you do things that you aren't good at because of me. "

After hearing her words, Dong Shu immediately smiled as she looked at him with the crescent moon in her eyes, "Hubby, I have to grow up no matter what. Hubby had protected me earlier, so there will come a day when I can protect hubby as well.

And I'm willing to learn to do this for my husband, so I won't be unhappy. Really, I do. "

Dong Shu's words were spoken with sincerity, as if she felt that she would one day be able to protect Xu Shiqiu and didn't feel uncomfortable in the slightest.

Seeing this kind of Young Girl, Xu Shiqiu felt that he liked her more and more.

Xu Yanzhu followed behind Third Uncle and him. Looking at the passionate look in their eyes, she eavesdropped on their loving conversation.

Although he was still envious in his heart, he was more used to it.

Third Uncle dotes on Third Aunt, Third Aunt cares about Third Uncle, in these few days, she had seen everything clearly.

It was also because of this that Xu Yanzhu understood a very important principle after staying with the Third Uncle s for the past few days.

Between husband and wife, they couldn't always ask each other to give a price for them. When the other party gave a price, they had to give a reward as well.

Xu Yanzhu felt that she had benefited greatly from these past few days, and she also enjoyed living her daily life behind Third Uncle and herself more and more.

Thinking about how her eldest uncle's family and her parents were on the way back to the Xiahe Village, Xu Yanzhu wanted to know more and more. When they return, how her once innocent and foolish Third Aunt would grow up to look like.

This morning, Dong Shu's mood was originally very good. However, because of the matter with Liu Er, even though it had some repercussions, she remembered that her husband told her to put out the kite tomorrow, so she quickly threw Liu Er's matter to the back of her mind.

Seeing that Third Aunt had recovered so quickly, Xu Yanzhu was also envious of her character.

It seemed that in the eyes of the Third Aunt, as long as the Third Uncle was good to her, she would not be a problem in any case.

However, Xu Yanzhu was also very happy when she thought about the kite she could play tomorrow.

It was just that they did not expect that at night, Dong Shu, who had already gone to bed, would suddenly have cold sweat trickling down her forehead.

Hearing the noise, Xu Shiqiu opened his eyes and saw Young Girl, who was supposed to be sleeping in his arms, curling up at the corner of the bed.

"My wife, what's wrong?"

Following Xu Shiqiu's surprised cry, Dong Shu finally opened her eyes slowly, and looked at him with her trembling lips: "Hubby, I'm in pain."
