The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Chapter 242: Willing to Compensate

The team leader saw the wound was rather serious, so he couldn’t just ignore it.

He slowly rose to his feet, glared at the villagers outside, and demanded angrily,

"Who threw that?"

No one outside made a sound.

"Whoever threw it, step forward."

It was still dead silent outside.

Seeing that he couldn’t get an answer, the team leader had no choice but to drop it.

"No more throwing things."

With that, he sat back down.

Lin Jiandong: ...

He wanted to erupt in anger.

’These people are going too far, picking on an honest man like me.’

’But everyone in the Qingshan Team hates me now, and I still have to live here in the future... Forget it!’

’I won’t stoop to their level.’

Lin Jiandong touched his head again, his eyes welling up.

’If I weren’t so strong, I would’ve burst into tears.’

’But I can’t. A man sheds blood, not tears.’

The crowd: ...

They hadn’t expected to actually make the man cry.

You know, he actually looked quite pitiful.

He had an honest-looking face to begin with. Now, with blood streaming from his head and tears from his eyes, he looked both wretched and pitiable.

The villagers looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, they felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Jiandong knew he had provoked the crowd’s anger. Wiping away his tears, he spoke up first.

"Sweet Girl, I really know I was wrong. I’m willing to compensate you."

"I’ll compensate you until you’re satisfied, alright? Can we just terminate the adoption and you’ll let me off the hook?"

This was because Lin Jiandong truly didn’t understand the law and thought he was actually going to be executed.

In reality, even if she had reported him to the police, he would have been detained for a few days at most.

It was just as Lin Jiandong himself had said.

His children were only living in the house that belonged to Sweet Girl. All they had to do was move out.

As for the beatings, he’d get a lecture at most.

At the time, there were no explicit laws against disciplining one’s children.

At this point, he didn’t dare refuse.

’I don’t want to be executed.’

Sweet Girl smiled.

’Finally, I can be free of them.’

’And I can get back the things Mom and Dad left for me. I’m so happy.’

Chen Shulan hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.

After all this trouble, not only had they gained nothing, but they were about to lose a great deal. Staring at Sweet Girl’s smile, she spoke viciously.

"What are you so smug about? Once this is over, you’ll be nothing but a dirty little orphan again. No one to dote on you, no one to love you. What’s there to be proud of?"

The previously easing atmosphere instantly plunged to a freezing point because of Chen Shulan’s words.

Chen Beiguo slammed his hand on the table and shot to his feet.

"Chen Shulan, shut your mouth! Are you even listening to yourself? Is that something a human being would say?"

Chen Shulan’s face was injured, so she didn’t dare to speak loudly, but every word was as sharp as a knife.

"I’m not wrong. They’re just unwanted little beggars. And they want to go to school? That’s hilarious. I’ll bet you two beggars won’t see the inside of a school for the rest of your lives!"

’School costs money. Those two little beggars can barely feed themselves. Where would they get the money for school?’

Since she was about to suffer a major loss, Chen Shulan didn’t want Sweet Girl to have an easy time either.
