It Won't Work

He Yulan knew her brother did not take losses well. "Don't worry," she said, "Nothing happened to Su Xiu."

He Changming's expression took a turn for the worse. "It's as good as a loss if nothing happened!"

"Big brother..." He Yulan could not take it anymore and wailed, "You can't say something like that! She's not your wife yet, so why are you always taking her side?"

"She'll be mine; it's only a matter of time." Since he had set his sights on her, naturally, he would marry her in time.

He Yulan made a face, careful not to let her brother see it.

"That's not true. Plenty of women in the village like you, but that doesn't mean they're all going to become your wife. You're the best hunter in the village; it's a shame our Trinity village does not rely on hunting for our food."
