Chapter 131: Your Big Sis is the Legend

The old man looked at Fang Yuan and couldn’t help but want to laugh. The girl had a unique aura that always made people misunderstand: “Alright, it’s good that a young girl like you has a bit of a reputation and doesn’t get bullied.”

Lu Chuan was feeling frustrated. How did my perfectly normal wife suddenly become some big shot? And now I’m the ‘brother-in-law’? That’s a bit hard to accept.

Lu Chuan asked, “Sixth Sis, Sister Liu, what’s going on?”

Fang Yuan, with lawsuits hanging over her head, replied, “Who knows? I don’t even know myself. Am I really that capable?”

Lu Chuan echoed, “Yeah, are you really that capable?”

Fang Yuan, ever the carefree one, said, “It’s fine. Once my fifth brother comes over, I’ll be legit.”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation, “Seriously, there’s no need. We’re not in that line of business.” We have to move—this won’t do.

Fang Yuan said, “I’m not hanging out with those kids anymore. I helped them, and they still got me into trouble.”

Lu Chuan was worried his wife would get dragged into these things for no reason: “Yeah, you should have a word with them.”

That evening, when they got home, Lu Chuan bought some sunflower seeds and peanuts, and invited everyone out for a chat—mainly to introduce his wife.

Lu Chuan was polite and thoughtful, carefully introducing their situation: “I’m still in school, my wife has a job. She’s a good person, warm-hearted, but not very strong. If you need help with anything, you can come to me. Fights, heavy lifting, whatever—I’m your guy. My wife, that was all a misunderstanding.”

Fang Yuan wanted to give a shy smile, but just couldn’t pull it off. Standing there, her presence was undeniable. Everyone stared at her, not buying that it was a misunderstanding.

Lu Chuan sighed, “My wife’s job is a bit different, just wait a moment.”

Then he pulled Fang Yuan away to change clothes. And honestly, it did make a difference—at least she didn’t look like the local ‘Sixth Sis’ anymore.

Fang Yuan wasn’t thrilled about dressing up for others: “What’s this supposed to mean?”

Lu Chuan replied, “It’s just that no one’s seen our softer side.”

The auntie who gossiped about Fang Yuan the most immediately piped up, “Oh my, you really are a girl!”

Lu Chuan was instantly annoyed, “Auntie, that’s hurtful. Fang Yuan works hard, and I do more chores at home when I can. There’s no dividing things by gender.”

The auntie’s mouth was as sharp as ever: “Oh, please. I’ve never seen you do much. You’re a grown man, letting a woman support you. Aren’t you ashamed?”

Fang Yuan wouldn’t have it: “I may not be out there mixing it up, but I’m not someone you can push around either. What’s my man ever done to you?”

No matter what she wore, as soon as Fang Yuan spoke, her aura was undeniable.

The auntie immediately backed down, realizing it wasn’t about the clothes—it was about the presence.

She grabbed Fang Yuan’s hand: “Girl, I’m just feeling bad for you. He’s just a pretty boy, going to school while you work hard. When he graduates, will he still want you? I’m just worried for you.”

Lu Chuan was furious. What kind of neighbor tries to sow discord between a couple right in front of them?

Fang Yuan’s face darkened: “Hold it right there. What do you mean by that? Are you hoping we’ll break up? Do you have a daughter you want to marry off to him?”

That stunned the auntie—this girl really didn’t play by the usual rules.

The old man nearby couldn’t help but laugh: “No, you’ve got her wrong. She’s just got a son who doesn’t do anything proper, and she wants to find a hardworking wife like you for him.”

Everyone munching on Lu Chuan’s sunflower seeds burst out laughing. Turns out this couple wasn’t so mysterious after all.

The auntie huffed, “I’m done talking to you!” and grabbed a handful of seeds as she left.

Just then, a young man came in: “Grandpa, don’t make me sound so bad. I’m not that lazy. Don’t embarrass me in front of the girls.”

Lu Chuan quickly introduced Fang Yuan, worried there’d be more misunderstandings: “This is my wife.” No room for ambiguity here.

Everyone laughed, “We know! We came for your sunflower seeds just to meet your wife. Don’t worry, we’ll keep an eye on the kids and won’t let them spread rumors.”

The more easygoing sisters-in-law chimed in, “It was just a mess the kids got you into. Fang Yuan, right? Don’t take it to heart.”

Fang Yuan replied, “It’s fine, really. It’s not a big deal. But I probably can’t help out with this sort of thing in the future. It was kind of scary.”

The kids weren’t happy: “You’re our Sixth Sis! We all look up to you!”

Everyone saw Lu Chuan’s face change—these clueless kids couldn’t read the room. The adults quickly dragged their kids away.

Lu Chuan was still reflecting, “It’s my fault. I should’ve introduced you to everyone sooner. Then there wouldn’t have been so many misunderstandings.”

Everyone said, “It’s tough for all of us out here. We get it. It’s those kids who caused you trouble. Good thing nothing serious happened, or we’d feel terrible for you two.”

Fang Yuan added, “Exactly. They dragged me out there and even handed me a feather duster.”

The young man nearby couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s not much of a weapon!”

Fang Yuan wholeheartedly agreed, nodding, “Totally ruined my image.”

They exchanged a look and laughed—clearly on the same wavelength.

Lu Chuan quickly stepped in, blocking his wife’s view and wrapping up the gathering. That young man’s eyes were lingering on his wife a bit too much for his liking.

Lu Chuan looked at Fang Yuan: “Would’ve been better to let them keep misunderstanding. Why’d you bother changing clothes?” He’d just made things harder for himself.

In Lu Chuan’s eyes, Fang Yuan was perfect, but he still couldn’t help worrying about her.

Fang Yuan had no idea about Lu Chuan’s complicated thoughts. “Why do you keep changing your mind?”

Lu Chuan couldn’t explain his sensitive feelings.

Inside, Lu Chuan stared at Fang Yuan’s outfit, regretting his own meddling. Why let others see her like this?

Fang Yuan looked at the now-empty bag of sunflower seeds and felt a little regretful herself: “So what if they misunderstand? They call me Sixth Sis, but I’m not actually related to them. Look, the whole bag of seeds is gone. Why do you have to make things so complicated?”

Lu Chuan said, “I’m not worried about the seeds. I’m worried about them making you take the fall for them.”

Fang Yuan replied, “It’s just a few street kids—not exactly a big deal.”

Lu Chuan insisted, “Doesn’t matter what it is. At home, your brothers look out for you. Out here, you’ve got me.”

Fang Yuan was surprised—she didn’t even know why, but she couldn’t say a word.

Her heart fluttered a little as she looked at Lu Chuan, her mind going a bit blank. He seemed even more handsome today than before.

Lu Chuan said, “If you like eating them, I’ll buy more next time. Don’t worry about it.”

Fang Yuan coughed, “Ahem, shouldn’t Fifth Brother be here by now?”

For once, Lu Chuan let Fang Yuan change the subject and nodded, “Yeah, he should be here soon. Probably just finishing up some work.”

Fang Yuan said, “Once this batch of work is done, we’ll have a bit more money in our savings account.”

That topic made both of them happy. Lu Chuan leaned in, “How much?” He was interested in that too.
