When I went home for Chinese New Year, I spent a million times more money on my foreign wife.

In the early morning, white smoke billowed from the chimneys of Kaoshantun.

In the yard, Katyusha was wielding a large shovel, trying to compact the pile of snow she had just swept.

She wants to build a bigger snowman today, preferably one that can outshine the one at Er Gou's house next door.

Chen Yang stood under the eaves with his hands in his pockets, watching his wife's incredible strength. The shovel in her hands felt as light as a chopstick.

"Brother Yang..."

A sound, tinged with sobs, came from the front door.

Tie Niu hung his head, looking like a defeated rooster. Before he even entered the door, his dark face was already scrunched up like a rag.

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow and handed over a cigarette he had just taken out.

"Mourning someone first thing in the morning? What's the point?"

Tie Niu took the cigarette, but his hands were trembling so much that he couldn't even light it. He plopped down on the snow, tears streaming down his face, leaving craters in the snow.

"Brother Yang, Xiao Fang... Xiao Fang is getting married."

Chen Yang frowned: "If you're getting married, then get married. Didn't you two agree to have the wedding banquet next year? Why did you bring it up?"

"She's not marrying me!" Tie Niu yelled, snot bubbles coming out of his nose. "Her parents want to marry her off to a rich man in the city, breaking us up! They say I'm poor and can't afford the bride price, and they've even locked Xiao Fang up and taken away her phone!"

In the yard, Katyusha, who had been wielding a shovel, stopped.

She couldn't understand the complicated Chinese and turned to look at Chen Yue, who had just come out of the house.

Chen Yue had just gotten up. She casually tied her hair into a ponytail, her face pale, and leaned close to Katyusha's ear to explain the situation using the Russian words she had just learned and gestures.

The film highlights "bad guys," "wife-stealing," and "bullying brothers."

"Snap!"

Katyusha broke the large iron shovel with its solid wooden handle in two with one hand.

The foreign bride's blue eyes widened, her expression colder than the north wind outside. She threw away the broken handle, walked a few steps to Tie Niu, and slapped his broad back.

"Suka!" Katyusha blurted out a Russian curse, followed by a shout in broken Northeastern Mandarin, "Don't cry! We'll take him down! We have to!"

This ruthlessness is even more intense than Chen Yang's.

Chen Yang threw the cigarette butt under his feet and stomped it out, then picked Tie Niu up from the ground and brushed the snow off his buttocks.

"Who is this rich person? Do you know anything about him?"

Tie Niu sniffed and gritted his teeth: "Xiao Fang secretly told me that his name is Liu Jinbao, his family owns a building materials company, and he can do whatever he wants in the county with a little money."

Liu Jinbao?

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes.

This name sounds familiar.

He went through it in his mind and remembered.

He had just returned when he ran into his ex-girlfriend in the county town. Wasn't that bald guy who was holding his ex-girlfriend's arm and driving a beat-up BMW, acting all high and mighty?

This is a classic case of bad luck; we ran right into each other's crossfire.

"Lei Zi!" Chen Yang called out towards the side room.

"arrive!"

Lei Zi appeared in the courtyard instantly with ten bodyguards in black, and his imposing presence startled Tie Niu so much that he hiccuped.

"Get the car ready. Everyone, follow me into the city." Chen Yang's tone was calm, but Lei Zi could sense the barely suppressed tension in his voice.

"Yes!" Lei Zi turned around and ran to open the garage door.

Hearing the commotion, Chen Ma ran out of the house, holding a rice spoon in her hand.

After hearing Chen Yue's words, she immediately became furious.

Tie Niu was someone she watched grow up. This child grew up without a father and was practically inseparable from Chen Yang, so he was practically a son to him.

"This is outrageous!" Chen's mother slammed her rice spoon against the doorframe. "Yangzi, get your wife back from Tie Niu! We, the Chen family, can't stand this humiliation! If you don't have enough money, I have some. Take the 100,000 yuan I just withdrew and use it to smash things!"

Chen Yang smiled and straightened his mother's collar: "Mom, you don't need to spend your money. I'll see this through to the end."

Hearing the commotion, a large group of villagers rushed over.

Er Gou, carrying a brick, and Wang Dana, from the east end of the village, carrying a pig-slaughtering knife, both of them loudly proclaimed their intention to go and fight.

"Go back, all of you." Chen Yang waved his hand, stopping the group of hot-blooded villagers. "What kind of scene is this with so many people? People who don't know the situation might think it's a gang fight. I'm going to reason with them."

Reasoning?

Er Gou glanced at the row of menacing bodyguards, then at Katyusha who was tucking a fruit knife into her waistband, and shrank back.

This "reasoning" is probably a bit too strong.

Chen Yang pulled Tie Niu into the house, opened his wardrobe, and picked out a bespoke suit that had just arrived a few days ago.

"Take off that tattered cotton-padded coat of yours," Chen Yang pointed to the clothes, "and put this on."

Tie Niu looked at the clothes, the fabric of which seemed to gleam, and hesitated to reach out: "Brother Yang, this is too expensive, I..."

"Put it on!" Chen Yang kicked him in the butt. "You're the star today. Stand up straight. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."

Ten minutes later, the brand-new Iron Bull came out.

Although his face was still dark, clothes make the man, and with this makeover, he had gained a bit of a tough guy vibe.

At the village entrance, engines roared.

The Mercedes-Benz G500, resembling an armored monster, led the way, followed by five pure black Land Rover Defenders—these were the ones Chen Yang had just provided to the security team a couple of days ago (the sedans have low chassis and can't carry much).

The car body was painted black, reflecting a cold light in the snow.

Chen Yang opened the car door, and Katyusha was already sitting in the passenger seat, excitedly shouting, "Hurrah! A wedding robbery! This is fun!"

These tiger girls, they think this is some kind of thrilling game.

Helpless, Chen Yang confiscated her bottle, took out his phone, and found a number.

That was the private phone number left by County Chief Wang, who had come to inspect the area before.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, and a text message was sent: "County Chief Wang, I need to go to the county town to take care of some personal business. It might be a bit noisy, so I'm just letting you know."

Less than three seconds later, the other end replied: "I will arrange for someone to go over there."

Chen Yang put his phone back in his pocket, a cold smile playing on his lips.

The convoy had just left the village and hadn't even reached the national highway when Tie Niu's tightly gripped phone suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at the screen, his face turned pale instantly, and his hands trembled so much that he almost dropped his phone.

"Yang-ge! Something terrible has happened!"

Tie Niu's voice trembled: "Xiao Fang sent a text message saying that Liu Jinbao is bringing people to her house to pick up his bride today!"

Liu Jinbao?

Chen Yang suddenly pressed down on the accelerator.

Last time, this bastard stole his ex-girlfriend. He was just throwing away trash because he didn't like that gold digger.

Is he trying to mess with his brother's woman this time?

"Lei Zi." Chen Yang grabbed the walkie-talkie, his voice as cold as ice shards outside the car window.

"Boss, please give me your instructions."

"Full speed ahead! I need the county town within twenty minutes!"

"receive!"

boom--!

The twelve-cylinder engine roared like a beast, the front of the G-Class suddenly lifted up, the tires kicked up a cloud of snow, like a black cannonball, with the momentum to crush everything, heading straight for the county town.

Katyusha excitedly patted the dial: "Faster! Faster!"
