Chapter 135: Rushing to Protect

“What are you doing? With Fourth Younger Brother not at home, you bully two defenseless women and feel no shame!” Han Hu shouted, outraged by the sight of so many people picking on his brother’s daughter-in-law. The Jiang family members had become too much to bear. Despite Jiang Chunlan’s actions some time ago, Han Hu had restrained his displeasure for the sake of Mrs. Yang but couldn’t suppress his dissatisfaction any longer after seeing the Jiang family’s current behavior.
When Han Quan saw Han Hu speak up, he didn’t say anything; instead, he quickly stepped in front of Su Wenyue and Xiao Xi, clearly intending to protect them.
Xiao Xi was relieved to see Han Hu and Han Quan arrive, a hint of joy appearing on her face. She had been worried about not being able to protect Miss fully while tussling with the Jiang family members. Now, with the help of Han Hu and Han Quan, she no longer had to worry. She could handle this motley crew from the Jiang family herself, having been trained by the Su brothers from a young age; Xiao Xi’s Kung Fu was not for show.
“Big Brother, Second Brother,” Su Wenyue said as she saw Han Hu and Han Quan come to her aid. She didn’t show anything on her face, but her heart filled with gratitude and warmth.
“Fourth younger sibling, don’t worry. You’ve done nothing wrong. Let’s see who dares to bully us from the old Han family!” Han Hu’s words were firm, leaving the Jiang family members with ugly expressions. They were close to succeeding—if Su Wenyue agreed, they would have the silver. But now, Han Hu and Han Quan had come to interfere.
Both Han Hu and Han Quan were men of imposing stature, and years of labor in the field had made them strong. The Jiang family had been aggressively confronting the two weak women, but now they were wary of fighting with the two Han brothers. Even the boss of the Jiang family didn’t rashly speak up. They were indeed bullies who feared the strong.
“What are you doing, Brother Hu, Brother Quan? This is a matter between us and Brother Yu’s wife. It’s not your business, so stay out of it,” Yang Juxiang said, exploiting her status as an elder.
Han Hu didn’t play along with Yang Juxiang. With Fourth Younger Brother not at home, he could not allow someone to bully his brother’s daughter-in-law.
“Aunt, you’re mistaken. Fourth Younger Brother is my brother; in his absence, it’s our duty, as brothers, to take care of his home. Moreover, you’ve brought so many from the Jiang family to our doorstep; how can I ignore it? Even ordinary people wouldn’t stand by and watch you bully two defenseless women.”
“Weak women, you say? Su Wenyue is a vicious woman who put my cousin in her current state. Are you telling us we can’t seek justice? Brother Hu, I know you’re not unreasonable, so stay out of this,” Yang Juxiang said with feigned patience, now visibly irritated.
“I know about Cousin Chunlan’s situation. It’s not Fourth Brother’s daughter-in-law’s fault. You can’t blame her for it,” Han Hu stood his ground.
“Alright then, it seems you Han family members are all ganging up against us! Let’s see if you really have the guts to lay a hand on your elder,” Yang Juxiang taunted as she reached for Han Hu, certain that he wouldn’t dare retaliate because of her status as an elder. If he did, she’d accuse him of disrespecting his elders, and the Han brothers would definitely not come out on top.
“Big Brother, Second Brother, step aside. Don’t get involved. Just watch from the side,” Su Wenyue suddenly spoke up.
