Chapter 34: I Don’t Acknowledge Her

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

“She’s not that simple. You have to be careful,” Zhan Yihan worriedly reminded her. Given that Song Yiren could command the man in black, she probably had connections with some hidden force. Judging from the rather-die-than-submit attitude of the man in black, the strength of that force was definitely not weak.

Su Jinyue nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.” In her previous life, she had already deeply experienced Song Yiren’s viciousness. She was certainly the person who knew Song Yiren the best in this world.

Zhan Yihan thought about it for a while and said, “I have a friend who cultivates curses. How about I get him to put one on her?” To him, Song Yiren felt like a venomous snake, waiting for an opportunity to strike. If one is just a little off guard, they would be bitten by her.

He could not be by Jinyue’s side to protect her. If he could control Song Yiren with a curse, he would feel more at ease. Although this method was a bit ruthless, Song Yiren wanted Jinyue dead, so why should he be merciless to her.

“Are there really curses in this world?” Su Jinyue asked in surprise. She had heard of curses before. In her past life, she had even gone to Xiangxi to find the Miao people who cultivated curses out of curiosity. However, after asking around the entire Miao Village, she still did not find anyone who cultivated curses. She had thought that the cultivation of curses was just a legend and did not expect Yihan to know somebody who cultivated them.

Zhan Yihan nodded and said, “There are many kinds of curses. They can be large or small. The animal kind usually comes in a pair of two. There are also the plant types.”

“What’s the shortest time to get it? I’m worried that Song Yiren will run away,” Su Jinyue said. If Song Yiren found out that the man in black was dead, she would never sit back and wait for death.

Zhan Yihan thought for a while before saying, “Three days.” His friend liked to wander around, but he had a talisman that his friend had given him. At that time, his friend had told him that if he was looking for him, he simply needed to burn the talisman.

Su Jinyue’s brows furrowed and she said, “I’m afraid that’ll be too late.”

“I’ll leave a mark on Song Yiren, so that I can find her no matter where she goes,” Zhan Yihan said. Many a time, the military will put a mark on the spies who had been caught, then deliberately release them. In the end, they would find them based on the mark and wipe out the spies and his fellow forces in one fell swoop.

“Okay.” Su Jinyue nodded happily. If they could use a curse to control Song Yiren, that would be best.

“I’ll head back first, and come back again tonight,” Zhan Yihan said. He was going back to make a mark.

“Okay!” Su Jinyue walked Zhan Yihan out of the house. As she watched him gradually disappear into the distance, a slight smile formed on her face. It’s really great to have him!

When Zhan Yihan returned home, he saw that his younger brother and younger sister, whom he had not seen in a long time, had come back. He smiled at them and said, “You’re all back.”

“Big Brother!”

“Big Brother!” Zhan Yifeng and Zhan Yilin shouted at the same time. Their eldest brother was the person they admired and respected the most.

“Big Brother, you really forgot about your family after getting a wife,” Zhan Yiping grumbled in dissatisfaction. As soon as she came back, she heard that her eldest brother had gotten engaged to Su Jinyue, and that he had been with Su Jinyue the past few days and had not even come home.

“Don’t spout nonsense.” Wang Meizhen smacked Zhan Yiping. Yihan had already told her before that he was staying with Jinyue to protect her from danger. There were numerous beasts on the mountain and it was inevitable to encounter danger, when gathering medicinal herbs. Now that Yihan and Jinyue were engaged, it was his duty to protect Jinyue’s safety.

“I’m not spouting nonsense. Big Brother has been bewitched by Su Jinyue. Just look at how many days he has actually stayed at home since he came back. He came back after so many years, but instead of spending time with his family, he went to accompany an outsider.” Zhan Yiping grew more angry the more she thought about it. Compared to Su Jinyue, she preferred for Song Yiren to be her Big Sister-in-law.

“That’s your Big Sister-in-law. She’s not an outsider,” Zhan Yihan said with a solemn face. He knew that it was wrong of him not to spend time with his family, but Yiping’s words were too harsh. Jinyue and him were already engaged, so she was naturally one of them.

Zhan Yiping pouted in disdain, “I don’t acknowledge her as my Big Sister-in-law. What’s so good about Su Jinyue? Big Brother, is there something wrong with your eyes?”

“Yiping.” Wang Meizhen stretched out her hand to tug on Zhan Yiping, to get her to stop talking.

Zhan Yihan’s expression grew colder, “There’s no need for you to acknowledge her. It’s enough for me to acknowledge her.” If Yiping was not his sister, he would definitely throw her out.

Zhan Yiping shrank back in fear, but still bit the bullet and said, “Anyways, I just don’t like her. Song Yiren is much better than her.” Song Yiren would give her something to eat or some pocket money every time she saw her. In her heart, Song Yiren has long been her Big Sister-in-law.

“Shut up!” Zhan Dafeng bellowed angrily. Originally, he had also thought that Song Yiren was pretty good, but after that day, he had finally seen Song Yiren’s true colors. If his son married her, that would be the true misfortune for the family.

Zhan Yiping jumped in shock and tears of grievances trickled down from the corners of her eyes. It’s all Su Jinyue’s fault. If it weren’t for her, why would Dad and Big Brother treat me like that? Even if Big Brother really marries Su Jinyue, I will not acknowledge her as my Big Sister-in-law.

Wang Meizhen’s heart ached when she saw Zhan Yiping’s tears. This was her only daughter, so she naturally couldn’t bear to see her upset. She stretched out her hand to stroke Yiping’s back and comforted her, “Enough, don’t cry. Stay away from that Dr. Song in the future. She’s not a nice lady.”

Zhan Yiping sniffed and looked at Zhan Yihan as she stubbornly insisted, “I will never acknowledge Su Jinyue in my life. Even if you marry her, I won’t call her Big Sister-in-law. As for Song Yiren, I like hanging out with her. None of you can stop me.” She stood up and sprinted to her room.

Wang Meizhen shook her head helplessly and looked at Zhan Yihan, “Yihan, don’t mind Yiping, she’s still young. I’ll explain to her in a while. She’ll understand.” Yiping was really becoming more and more willful.

Zhan Yihan nodded, trying to suppress his anger. She was his only younger sister, so of course he doted on her, but he had never expected Yiping to be so immature.

“Big Brother, ignore her. She’s but a spoilt child. She’ll be fine in a while. Don’t be angry,” Zhan Yifeng said.

“Big Brother, you are going back to the army tomorrow. Let’s have a good meal tonight. I’ll go and buy the liquor and peanuts.” Zhan Yilin got up and walked out.

The sun gradually set, and the sky slowly darkened. The villagers, who had been busy in the field all day, put away their farm tools and walked towards their homes.

In the night, the lights were turned on in every house. From a distance, it felt like an entire different scenery.

Song Yiren felt a little uneasy. Putting down her bowl and chopsticks, she looked at Xu Tiansheng and Su Jinyue and said, “I’m done. I’ll go out for a walk.” She was going to find the man in black now and get him to postpone taking action. With Zhan Yihan still around, she just felt a little uneasy, as if something was going to happen.

Xu Tiansheng was a little surprised, but he still nodded and said, “Come home early.” Why does Yiren suddenly want to go for a walk? He really couldn’t figure her out more and more.

As Su Jinyue glanced at Song Yiren, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. Song Yiren must be going to look for the man in black now.. She might be on guard if the man in black did not show up.
