The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Chapter 232: Unable to Strike

Before Lin Jiandong could even register the pain in his teeth,

Leng Yuan’s fist came down again, this time on his body.

He was so frightened he pissed his pants.

"Leng Yuan... I was wrong... Owww, I was really wrong... Owww..."

Leng Yuan only threw two punches before he couldn’t bring himself to hit him anymore.

He frowned, looking at Lin Jiandong and his wet pants on the ground, his expression dark and unreadable.

Sweet Girl stood to the side, tightly gripping Gu Jiaojiao’s hand, while Xiao Yang clung directly to Gu Jiaojiao’s leg, his small body trembling uncontrollably.

He was so small and hadn’t been eating properly lately, so he had no strength at all.

But he understood fear, and he knew he had almost been sold.

Gu Jiaojiao softly comforted him, but Xiao Yang didn’t say a word, only hugging her tighter.

"Sister, is he going to try and sell us again?"

Gu Jiaojiao fell silent.

Then, she called Chen JianShe over and whispered a few words to him.

Chen JianShe’s eyes lit up. He rushed straight into the Lin Family’s kitchen, emerging with their pot lid and grabbing a broom from the corner.

He started banging the lid with the broom as he walked outside.

"Everyone, come quick! Someone’s house is on fire!"

Fire!

As soon as that one word rang out, all the neighbors threw open their doors and ran outside.

Heedless of the heavy snow, they all ran to their doorways to see what was happening.

"JianShe, what’s going on? Whose house is on fire?"

Chen JianShe hadn’t expected this trick to be so effective. Everyone who heard him had come running out.

He immediately pointed to the Lin Family’s entrance and gave everyone the juicy gossip.

"Aunties, listen up! This Lin Jiandong here was about to sell Xiao Yang to human traffickers, but my Brother Leng caught him! He’s teaching him a lesson right now! You all should hurry over and take a look!"

What?

’Lin Jiandong was going to sell Xiao Yang?’

’No way!’

The couple was utterly dumbfounded. ’Human traffickers?’

’They were workers from the County Town.’

’In this day and age, being a worker was a glorious thing—they were the object of everyone’s envy.’

’What the hell was a human trafficker? How could they be compared to that?’

’It was a complete insult.’

Li Aihong couldn’t help but explain indignantly, "We’re not human traffickers! We’re relatives of the Lin Family."

None of the villagers believed her.

’Chen JianShe already told us these two were human traffickers, and now they’re trying to lie to us.’

’Do they really think we were born yesterday?!’

"You’re human traffickers still trying to sweet-talk your way out of this! Tie them up! We’ll hand them over to the Team Leader to handle later."

That’s how it was in those days; everyone hated evil as if it were a personal foe.

They would absolutely never let a single bad element escape.

Li Aihong and her man desperately tried to explain, but the villagers grew tired of listening and simply stuffed socks in their mouths to shut them up.
