Dean and An Kechun were still flipping cornbread in the living room in preparation for the evening's activities. "Niu Niu was afraid that I would be hurt, so she didn't dare to say anything."

An Kechun: "Your child is taking care of your feelings, and you still talk about her behind her back. That's only natural. If you take her to dig for some precious medicinal herbs, she will praise you to your face."

Dean sat by the fireplace, which was the only source of warmth and moisture in the room. "I'm a little worried. You said I'd go scout ahead alone, and I'm worried about leaving you two alone at home." Dean's concern and care for An Kechun and her niece was just as great as An Kechun's.

“If I don’t go to scout ahead, I’m afraid that if I take you two with me, I won’t be able to protect you in case of an emergency.”

An Kechun chuckled lightly, "What's there to protect?" She pulled something out from under the bed and showed it to Dean, "Here."

Dean: "...Hide it quickly! How did you get it? We checked everything on the plane!"

An Kechun nodded, "It's just a handgun. I'll buy it for self-defense and sell it when I leave."

"You, you, Ah Chun!"

An Kechun chuckled, "Alright, stop being so cautious. If I really take it out, people will treat it like a toy."

It wasn't loaded yet, but An Kechun had ammunition.

Two hours later, Yuan Niu went out to get a charger. "Auntie and Uncle, I'm going to make a video call."

Three hours later, An Kechun brought in two cornbreads for Yuan Niu to eat.

Another half hour passed.

"Niu Niu, are you going to make another call? We're going to town, you can make the call from the car."

Yuan Niu waved goodbye to the person on the other end of the phone, feeling content. "Auntie, I'm here."

She didn't continue making the call. She picked up her backpack, gathered her belongings, and grabbed an umbrella as she went, then climbed into the back seat of the car.

The three of them went to town and bought a lot of supplies, which they then hauled back to the village.

We will gather at the square in the evening.

Yuan Niu had eaten at a restaurant in town beforehand, so she wasn't hungry. Plus, her aunt had bought her a lot of snacks, which were in her schoolbag. She could just take them out and eat them when she got hungry.

I just wanted to bring her over tonight to have some fun.

Seeing everyone holding wedding banquets in the square, she got up, took her phone, and started recording videos to send to Nong later.

It was cold at night, so Yuan Niu added a denim jacket over her daytime dress.

When Viren saw this outfit, he went straight over to Yuan Niu, grabbed her, and started talking angrily.

"Huh? Huh? Speak slower."

There were too many people, it was noisy, and someone next to her was grinning maliciously. Yuan Niu frowned as she held her phone, unable to translate anything even with her phone's translator.

Yuan Niu called her aunt and uncle over. The two were nearby and went over when they heard the call. Weiren instantly changed his expression and was no longer anxious. No one knew what he had just said, but his two little friends around him certainly did.

An Kechun, feeling unwell, pulled Yuan Niu away, asking, "Auntie, what are they whispering about again?"

"I don't know, let Dean go."

Dean was pulled to the men's table to drink. Some people tried to get him drunk, and Dean declined many times, but he still ended up having a few drinks.

An Kechun knew exactly what kind of person Dean was. She knew it from their first meeting, and it was only because she threw a tantrum that those people left. All these years, if An Kechun hadn't lost her temper, would people really think she was a pushover?

"Auntie, those people seem to be trying to get my uncle drunk!"

Yuan Niu noticed it all.

An Kechun nodded, "Okay, let's do it."

Yuan Niu was puzzled.

A moment later, An Kechun pulled Yuan Niu over and said in the local dialect, "If Dean gets drunk, you won't be able to get married today."

Then some people started pointing at An Kechun's back and telling Dean that he didn't know how to manage his wife. They also said that Dean should show some manly skills, that he got carried away when he was drunk, and even taught him to hit his wife with a broomstick. They also said that Dean's family shouldn't only have one daughter, but should also have a son. They even asked Dean how old his daughter was, whether she was an adult, and whether she had found a husband.

Dean's drunkenness subsided in a second. "My child is underage and doesn't plan to develop new relationships before graduation."

After saying that, he got up to leave, but several people pressed him down.

Dean got up to leave a second time, but was persuaded by several people to stay.

An Kechun watched from a distance, "This is the second time."

Yuan Niu didn't understand. "Auntie, what's wrong?"

An Kechun didn't speak, but simply told Yuan Niu not to come any closer. She pulled something out from behind her back, and Yuan Niu's eyes widened in surprise. Watching her aunt add something to the container, she exclaimed, "Auntie..."

All around, there were many people chatting familiarly!

Her aunt just took it out without any hesitation?

Dean stood up for the third time and slammed his hand on the table. "Are you really planning to make me flip this table? Or is Uncle not going to be happy about his daughter's wedding today?"

"Who's pressing him?" Dean shoved the person away, turned and stormed off, walking to the women's section and sitting down next to An Kechun. Then, looking at the fully loaded magazine, he fell silent.

“Ah Chun…”

"Thankfully, there wasn't a third time." An Kechun unloaded everything again, put it all away, and placed the pistol behind her.

Yuan Niu was stunned. "Uncle, Auntie saw you being forced to drink and got angry. She saw you get up and then being pulled back down. Auntie said that by the third time, today's wedding banquet was no longer her concern." This meant that An Kechun was going to take action.

Dean believed that An Kechun was really daring.

He suddenly became much more sober and sat down next to his aunt and nephew.

Most of the people around were women, some looking at Dean with envy, others with disapproval.

I envy An Kechun for having a man who stays by her side every step of the way, even at banquets; I'm annoyed that Dean, a grown man, sits with his wife and children at meals.

Some people urged An Kechun to have a son as soon as possible, saying that having only a daughter would make her position unstable, while having a son would provide her with support and someone to rely on when she gets old.

An Kechun: "How many sons did you have?"

"I didn't have many children, only three sons," the person said with pride.

An Kechun: "So which son do you live with now?"

An eerily quiet atmosphere descended.

Dean stood by, not daring to utter a sound.

Little Yuan blinked: What are you saying? I don't understand. Listen again~ Still don't understand.

Little Yuan Niu cried out in her heart: "God, please make me a pair of headphones that can automatically recognize and translate sounds when I wear them!"

"Forget it, I'd rather ask my big brother than God. He can definitely make it for me!" Little Yuan Niu made up her mind that the next time her brother was handing out phones, she would offer him this business opportunity!

She's the younger sister whom her older brother raised single-handedly~

An Kechun directly asked Dean what had just happened, and Dean told her everything without missing a single word.

"Why are you asking my age?" Little Yuan asked, puzzled.

An Kechun frowned. During the commotion, she kept staring at the group of people who had been drinking with Dean, watching them eventually go to another table.
