Chapter 518
In the county, there were no particularly good inkstones. Li Fei had picked a simple round one—plain and unadorned. But […]
The Lu family was poor in their early years and had to give away one of their children.
Eighteen years later, both brothers reached the age for marriage.
The older brother, with a strong and domineering personality, was set up with a hot-tempered hunter. At their first meeting, they clashed immediately, slamming tables and glaring at each other, nearly coming to blows over who would be the head of the household.
He thought, “If only I could cancel this engagement.”
The younger brother, gentle and soft-spoken, was matched with a scholar from a family notorious for being “easy prey,” surrounded by greedy relatives. Just a glance from afar made him tremble with fear.
He sighed, “If only I could cancel this engagement.”

Hunter: ???
“Is there something wrong with you?”
Everyone knew the Xie family was weak and spineless, the kind of household anyone could bully.
Even without any grudges, people would spit in front of their door just because they were in a bad mood.
But from that day on, no one dared.
Xie Yan’s husband knew how to throw a punch!
Meanwhile, the Li family, which everyone expected to be full of constant bickering and fights, now enjoyed warm beds and hot meals every day.
Curious, some sneaked a peek and found Li Feng gently coaxing his husband, “It’s my fault, don’t cry…”
