Yin Xu and Chu Xiang weren’t familiar with each other well. After Yin Xu sat next to her for a while, he didn’t utter a single word, and he didn’t know where to start either.

Chu Xiang looked at him suspiciously. Yin Xu cleared his throat and whispered, “My apologies. This matter is probably caused by the dispute between me and the Chu family. I will deal with it as soon as possible. My mom and my sister have been ruffled by my leg injury, so if they said anything inappropriate to you, I apologize on their behalf.”

Chu Xiang shook her head, “It’s nothing. They just expressed their concern about me. What do you think they said?”

“Oh, that’s great.” Yin Xu didn’t think much about it before he came, and was a little confused when he uttered the words. What did he just say? He couldn’t say that his mother and his sister were interested in her, right? That sounded like something a rogue would say!

Men and women in this age didn’t get along so naturally. When Chu Xiang’s hair touched Yin Xu’s shoulder as the breeze blew, he suddenly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. His hands on his knees also subconsciously clenched into fists.

Chu Xiang captured his nervousness and almost burst out laughing. She turned her head to hold herself back, and then talked about the Chu family’s plan to renege on their debt as if nothing had happened. She observed Yin Xu and tentatively suggested, “Why don’t you ask Aunt Yin and Qiuwen to ask them for your medical expenses for now? Only dummies wouldn’t take anything free. The sum can, more or less, comfort Aunt Yin and Qiu Wen. What do you think?”

Yin Xu considered her thoughtfully. “You don’t seem to care about the Chu family, and you even want to cheat the Chu family.”

Chu Xiang smiled and replied, “Is there something wrong with it? If you were me, what would you do?”

Yin Xu said bluntly, “Let them pay the price.”

Chu Xiang smiled with satisfaction. “You have a lot of ideas. Are you interested in cooperation?”

“Cooperation for what?” Yin Xu was puzzled, not understanding what cooperation between a rough man and this fellow performing student could be.

Chu Xiang squinted slightly, looked into the distance, and whispered, “I will help your family get through this difficult time, and you help me get my household register transferred to your family, have an open break with the Chu family, and help me cut off all dealings with them.”

This kind of notion was all the heavenly laws of morality and filial love in this era. Yin Xu looked at her, but didn’t say anything. He seriously considered the possibility of their cooperation. What surprised him was that Chu Xiang not only wanted to break off relations with her family, but also planned to use marriage to escape the fiery pit. Marriage was a lifelong matter. It seemed that she didn’t want to wait a moment longer, and she was dying to cut ties with the Chu family.

Chu Xiang added, “We can write an agreement and return each other’s freedom in a few years. This won’t delay anything.”

“It seems that you’ve thought about everything.” Yin Xu was no longer nervous at this time. He quickly went through everything in his mind, and agreed, “Okay, let’s just do as you said. What’s your plan? I’m guessing you want to do more than simply transfer your household register.”

Chu Xiang laughed in response. “Of course, it won’t be that simple. Before I cut ties with them, I am definitely going to make them pay. I hope you can help me with a bit of cooperation. It would be better if you can get your friends to help, too.”

She whispered to him about her plan, and Yin Xu only nodded after hearing it, agreed with everything, and then went back to his ward.

Yin Xu glanced at Chu Xiang outside through the window of the ward, and couldn’t help shaking his head with a smile. Were all the young girls so powerful now? Nobody should provoke Chu Xiang in the future, otherwise the said person wouldn’t even know how he died.

In the evening, Yin Qiuwen came to deliver meals to Yin Xu, and then Shou Hou’er came to accompany him through the night. Yin Xu said to Yin Qiuwen, “I met with Chu Xiang today, and we are going to get married, but this matter is a secret now. You can’t even tell your mother, understand?”

Yin Qiuwen’s eyes widened in shock, and she reached out to touch Yin Xu’s forehead. “Brother! Are you having a fever? You actually went to Chu Xiang to ta-tal-talk about marriage?? Did she not hit you? No, I mean, did she promise you?”

Yin Qiuwen looked at Shou Hou’er and asked, “Did I hear it wrong? Is Sister Chu Xiang really going to be my sister-in-law?”

Shou Hou’er nodded repeatedly. “Really, really. I heard it loud and clear. Brother Xu, you pretend quite well, ah. At noon, you told us not to talk nonsense, but in the afternoon, you went to have a closer look at her. You really hide deep!”

Yin Xu glanced at him and said solemnly, “Keep your mouth shut. Now, let me tell both of you something you have to do. Your future sister-in-law will be bullied by the Chu family. Don’t you think you have to do something about it?”

“That’s for sure! Brother Xu, tell me, how do you want us to punish those son of bitches!” Shou Hou’er rolled up his sleeves as soon as he heard his preempt, as if he was gearing for battle.

Yin Qiuwen also frowned and nodded, “Brother, we must protect our own family members! Tell me what you want me to do.”

Yin Xu whispered to them their tasks, urging them to ensure a flawless execution. The two packed their bags right after. Yin Xu didn’t need an attendant, but they still made sure that he was in perfect condition before rushing back to the village. The thought of executing what they were told was too exciting. What was more, they were going to vent their sister-in-law’s anger. The mere thought of it excited them endlessly!

When Yin Qiuwen returned home, she didn’t reveal her brother’s plans to marry Chu Xiang. Instead, she mentioned that Yin Xu’s injured leg was inconvenient and painful. Upon hearing this, Yang Yuelan felt downright distressed that she hated the Chu family to death. Yin Qiuwen also talked about medical expenses, her worries about her brother’s recovery, and what Chu Xiang said in the ward. At long last, she successfully persuaded Yang Yuelan to accompany her to collect the medical fees.
