Are The Villain Bosses Strong?

"It's time to eat!" A man's voice came from the village below the mountain.

The men who were busy building the house put down their work and gathered around.

"Auntie, can't you prepare more dry food? We can't eat enough with these!"

The old lady of the Xu family rolled her eyes: "It's good to have something to eat. Go out and ask how many families who build houses will give food? If it weren't for the fact that we are all fellow villagers, you wouldn't even have a blade of grass to eat!"

After scolding, the old lady of the Xu family turned around and glared at Xu Qiu who was carrying a large soup bucket behind her and scolded: "You dead girl, you have no sense at all. Hurry up and share the soup. If you delay your brother's marriage, I will go home and beat you!"

Xu Qiu, who was still a girl, struggled to carry the wooden bucket filled with wild vegetable soup.

"Kid, give me more."

"I want some dry food."

The men lined up to serve the soup, and soon it was Deng Quan at the end.

The remaining soup in the wooden bucket was only enough for a small half bowl.

"Well, I cooked less today. I'll cook more tomorrow."

"Okay."

Deng Quan squatted on the ground with the bowl in his hand and looked up at Xu Qiu.

Xu Qiu held the wooden barrel and turned his head to hold the hair blown by the wind.

The first meeting was not dreamy or romantic.

There was only a blushing face amid the laughter of the crowd.

……

……

Deng Quan, who had just walked to the gate of the yard with a hoe on his shoulder, was stopped by the neighbor's aunt.

"Xiao Deng, are you done with the farm?"

"After you're done, is there anything Aunt Sun can do for you?"

"Can't we chat with neighbors when we have nothing to do?"

Aunt Sun looked at Deng Quan's patched clothes and said, "Xiao Deng, did you sew the clothes yourself?"

Deng Quan thought Aunt Sun was going to laugh at him, so he didn't say anything out of habit.

"These are women's jobs. It's normal for a man like you not to understand. You are also a miserable boy. You lost your parents when you were young. There is no one who can care about you, let alone help you find a wife." Hearing this, Deng Quan almost understood what Auntie Sun meant, but he became shy like a grown-up girl. "Auntie Sun, if you are fine, I will go back to rest." "You are so old, but you are still so shameless. Aren't men living for these things? Sleeping with your wife and beating your children are normal. Auntie has watched you grow up, just like her own child. Do you like any girl? Auntie will help you propose marriage." Deng Quan remembered the girl who always left a bowl of wild vegetables at the bottom of the bucket for him when he helped build a house in the next village last time. Whenever she stood in the sun and smiled secretly, Deng Quan always felt that someone had put a piece of charcoal that was about to burn out and stuffed it into his chest. It was not hot, but warm. "There is a girl you really like. Tell me who it is and I will help you propose marriage!"

"No, Auntie, I don't want to get married yet."

Deng Quan rejected Auntie Sun and returned to his leaky mud house with a hoe. There was nothing in the whole house except the wooden tables and chairs he made.

How could he use a house that he couldn't even live in for fear that it would collapse in the rain one day to get married?

……

……

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please accept my greetings."

Even on a happy day, Old Lady Xu still looked sarcastic.

"If no one wanted this money-losing product, you wouldn't have bought it with such a small amount of money." Old Lady Xu became more and more angry as she thought about it. Seeing Deng Quan blocking Xu Qiu, she rubbed her hands a few times but didn't hit him.

"A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. She has nothing to do with my family anymore. Even if you beat her to death, I won't return the money."

"Why aren't you leaving yet? I didn't cook for you. Hurry up and leave."

This wedding was extremely simple. There was no matchmaker, no guests, no tall horses, and no red dowry.

Deng Quan was still wearing the patched and crooked clothes, but Xu Qiu had changed into a new dress and was lying on Deng Quan's back with a red cloth covering her head.

"Brother Quan, let me go. We still have several miles to go."

Xu Qiu struggled several times to get off Deng Quan's back, but he carried her tightly.

Feeling the man's intentions, Xu Qiu quietly lay on Deng Quan's back and let him carry her.

"Sister Qiu, are you really willing to marry me? I don't even have a home that can shelter you from the wind and rain."

The man's voice was unwilling and inferior.

But Xu Qiu didn't think so.

She knew how much her mother went to sell her for a good price.

Even so much, Deng Quan was still willing to sell everything just to get the chance to carry her back home.

Xu Qiu took off her veil, put her arms around Deng Quan's neck and used the veil to wipe the sweat off his face.

"As long as you are by my side, whether in this mountain or in this field, wherever you stop, that is my home."

On the rural road, the simplest and most rustic love words flowed into Deng Quan's heart along with the birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.

With red eyes, he lifted Xu Qiu up again.

The person on his back was heavier than ever before, but he was willing to never let go.

…

…

"It's born! My eldest sister gave birth to a boy!"

"Really?!"

Deng Quan was so happy that he rushed into the bedroom, but he stopped when he thought of the midwife's reminder.

"Are you okay, Qiu Mei?"

"I'm fine."

Hearing Qiu Mei's weak voice, Deng Quan stood at the door and turned around.

"You can come in."

Deng Quan slowly pushed the door to prevent Xu Qiu from being chilled by the wind he brought.

He finally saw his child, a red, ugly little guy, crying with his mouth open without even opening his eyes.

Deng Quan held the child clumsily under the guidance of the midwife, and he didn't know what to say, so he imitated the baby's humming sound.

"Sister Qiu, look, this is our son. We will be a family of three in the future."

"Yes." Xu Qiu reached out and gently touched the child's cheek, with relief on his pale and tired face.

"Brother Quan, give the child a name."

"This... I'd better give him a nickname. I'll ask someone knowledgeable to give him a full name later."

"Let's call him Hu Zi, so that he can grow up healthy like a tiger, with a tiger head and a tiger brain."

Deng Quan put Hu Zi next to Xu Qiu, took his little hand and pointed at Xu Qiu: "Hu Zi, look, this is your mother, when you grow up, you must protect your mother well."

"Brother Quan, how tall do you think Hu Zi will grow in the future?"

"He will definitely be taller than me and stronger than me."

"When Hu Zi grows up, he will definitely have to marry a wife. I don't know if there will be girls in the neighborhood in the future. Brother Quan, do you think I can be a good mother for Hu Zi in the future? What if I can't handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"

"Those are far away."

"Brother Quan..."

"Brother Quan..."

The gentle voice gradually drifted away.

His Qiu Mei was such a good person, and he longed for the future.

But all was ruined because of Hu Gou's lecherous behavior.

Why should they bear all the blame for Hu Gou's mistakes!

Why should they just watch their family being slaughtered!

Why!

Deng Quan's eyes were full of bloodshot, and his neck was full of blue veins. He squeezed out his words from his lips and teeth, crying blood.

"I'm not willing!!!"
