Chapter 174 I'll Make You Kneel Down and Beg Me

Qin Haifeng coughed lightly, a blush creeping onto his ears, his lips unconsciously tightening. The soft, warm touch from before seemed still etched on his skin, lingering and disturbing his peace of mind, making it difficult for him to find a place to look.

"Such important words..."

His voice was deep, with a hint of self-righteous hoarseness: "If we don't get closer, what if someone overhears us?"

The two were whispering when suddenly a cry of pain and a thud of something heavy hitting the ground came from the side!

"Ouch—!!"

The two looked in the direction of the sound—and saw Bi Yuntao and Zhao Xiaoyu tumbling and falling to the ground in a sorry state! Zhao Xiaoyu's face, which was already covered in blood and grime, was now even more gruesome, with her skin torn and bleeding.

Some villagers who hadn't gone far saw this and shook their heads and clicked their tongues in disapproval.

"Tsk! Look at him, so tall and strong, yet he can't even hold his own wife properly! His physique... is so weak!"

“Exactly! If you can’t do it, just find a door panel and carry it away! Don’t make a fool of yourself here!” another villager chimed in.

"I have a door panel ready, let them use it!" shouted a spectator, but he didn't move an inch.

Lin Baozhu beamed with delight, nudging Qin Haifeng beside her with her elbow in a clear, loud voice, making sure everyone else around could hear her clearly:

"See that? Even Zhao Xiaoyu, a leper, can't be lifted up! Tsk tsk, some people... are really... useless!"

She deliberately dragged out the words "really no good," enunciating each word clearly, with undisguised schadenfreude.

She wouldn't let any opportunity slip by to embarrass the Bi family! Especially that stupid, wicked, and utterly despicable Bi Yuntao! Seeing him suffer would make her feel as refreshed and delighted as drinking ice water on a sweltering summer day!

Bi Yuntao was startled by the sound and turned his head sharply!

In the soft light of dawn, the girl's hair was slightly disheveled, and her cheeks had a healthy flush from exercise, making her small face appear even whiter, more delicate, and radiant. Her dark, jade-like eyes were now filled with subtle smiles and undisguised disdain, shining with an astonishing brightness.

The man standing beside her was as tall and straight as a pine tree, with handsome features and a calm, mountain-like demeanor. The two of them standing side by side resembled a meticulously painted picture, strikingly well-matched!

This glaring scene, like a poisoned needle, pierced Bi Yuntao's heart! Whether it was burning jealousy or unbearable resentment, a cold and malevolent aura instantly enveloped his entire body.

'It's all that scoundrel's fault!' Bi Yuntao roared inwardly. 'If it weren't for that bitch Lin Baozhu threatening him with his job! If it weren't for her heartless betrayal! How could he have reconnected with those bandits? How could the Bi family have fallen to this state?!'

'She used to say she liked me? Bah! That was all bullshit!' Twisted hatred churned in his chest, almost breaking free of the cage of reason.

Qin Haifeng's sharp gaze swept over the sinister glint in Bi Yuntao's eyes. Without making a sound, he stepped to the side, completely shielding Lin Baozhu behind him.

Bi Yuntao glared at Lin Baozhu, who was peeking out from behind Qin Haifeng's shoulder with a gloating expression. His eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were clenched so tightly they were grinding together.

"Lin Baozhu! Don't be so smug! One day, I'll make you kneel down and beg me!!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Baozhu bent down, picked up a stone from the side of her feet, and smashed it hard against Bi Yuntao's head without saying a word!

"I beg you? Fine! I beg you to 'die and be reincarnated as soon as possible,' okay?!" Her voice was crisp, filled with undisguised contempt. "A whole family of heartless rotten bastards! You really think Zhao Xiaoyu can get you out of here through some crooked means and everything will be fine? Let me tell you, your 'good days' are yet to come! Just wait and see!"

They've practically jumped right onto her face in a provocation. If Lin Baozhu were to swallow her anger, she'd be a coward, not a proper Lin!

Bi Yuntao was so shocked by the barrage of curses and the flying stone that his pupils shrank sharply and his face turned deathly pale!

'That bitch...does she know something?!' A huge panic gripped him instantly, his heart pounding like a drum!

Looking at his cowardly appearance, Lin Baozhu sneered inwardly: He really is a hopeless case. Even if he climbs up a big tree, he can't change his cowardly nature!

Getting entangled with this kind of person is simply beneath your dignity! So...

Her eyes darted around, and her hand swiftly reached into her small bag, pulling out another small pebble she had prepared beforehand—one she had secretly smeared with something "good." With a flick of her wrist—

"Whoosh!"

The pebble hit Bi Yuntao squarely on the forehead again!

"Ah—!" Bi Yuntao cried out in pain.

He crouched down, clutching his head, blood dripping from between his fingers.

"Lin Baozhu, do you really think I have no temper? That I'll let you hit me time and time again?"

"If you're so capable, then fight back. Anyone can talk big."

Faced with Lin Baozhu's provocation, Bi Yuntao was both anxious and angry, but he couldn't really do anything to her. The main problem was that this woman was stronger than an ox. If he really had the ability to confront her head-on, he wouldn't have had to join forces with bandits to deal with her.

Compared to Bi Yuntao's composure, You Yongsheng was far more brainless...

Seeing her son being beaten again, she instantly flew into a rage! Her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes bulged like saucers, and she lunged at Lin Baozhu with bared teeth and claws:

"You little slut! My family suffered for you, and instead of being grateful, you dare to hit my son?! If you don't pay me five hundred yuan today, I'll make a scene at your factory and make sure you lose your job!"

"Bullshit!"

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother, who had been watching intently from the sidelines, rolled up her sleeves even higher and rushed forward like a mother hen protecting her chicks. She grabbed You Yongsheng's hair with one hand, pinched and twisted her body with the other, and unleashed a barrage of verbal abuse:

"You old hag! You're really good at framing me! Maybe you were trying to harm my daughter and got your comeuppance as bandits! Now you want to turn the tables? Demand compensation? Fine! After your whole family is wiped out, I'll buy plenty of joss paper and burn it all for you!"

These days, nourished by the spiritual spring, Lin's mother has grown stronger, and with the good food at home, she beat You Yongsheng so badly that he could only howl in pain.

Only after You Yongsheng was beaten to the ground, groaning, did the brigade leader slowly speak, his tone full of impatience towards the Bi family:

"Have you made enough trouble?! You Bi family members, you can't stand not causing trouble every day, can you? Are you all just standing there watching the show? Hurry up and pull these people away!"

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother reluctantly released her grip, tidied her slightly disheveled hair, and before leaving, didn't forget to give You Yongsheng's plump buttocks a good kick! Then, like a victorious rooster, she walked proudly to Lin Baozhu:

"Come on! Daughter, come home with your mother! Staying with these filthy things will bring bad luck!" After saying that, she spat in Bi Yuntao's direction.

"Alright, Mother!"

Lin Baozhu responded crisply, turned her head and waved to Qin Haifeng, her eyes sparkling, "Haifeng, let's go! Let's go home!"

"Okay!" Qin Haifeng's eyes lit up with a smile. He happily carried a basket in each hand, his heavy harvest in hand, and followed the mother and daughter with a bouncy gait.

As soon as the three entered the house, Lin Baozhu's sensitive nose detected a faint... strange smell?

"Huh? What's that smell?"

She wrinkled her delicate nose and looked around suspiciously—

As far as the eye could see, Tiger was squatting in the corner of the yard, his little bottom sticking up, carefully holding a small cardboard "boat" in his hands, and inside the "boat"... was a fresh, warm, golden-yellow lump of...

Lin Baozhu: "..."

Lin's mother: "..."

Qin Haifeng: "..."
