Chapter 77 Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs
Two days later, after Su Tang had an afternoon off, he took the camp's car to find Lu Xiao.
But as luck would have it, the guard at the door said that Lu Xiao was on a mission these days and didn't know when he would be back.
Su Tang sighed and asked the guard to leave a message for Lu Xiao.
It seems that Lu Xiao will not be able to attend Sister Zhang Cui's wedding.
In the blink of an eye, on the wedding day, the tent set up on the open space behind the cafeteria was full of people.
The big red wedding characters were pasted on both sides of the makeshift platform, very eye-catching.
Li Haixin specially invited Lao Zhao, the loudest man in the cafeteria, to be the master of ceremonies. Lao Zhao was shouting at the top of his lungs: "Bow to Heaven and Earth."
Su Tang was talking to Lin Qian and looking at the stage.
Li Haixin, wearing a brand new blue cloth jacket, was holding Zhang Cui, who was also wearing new clothes and had slightly red cheeks, and was about to bow.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the back of the crowd.
"Zhang Cui! How dare you marry me!"
This familiar voice made everyone present stunned.
Wang Jianfeng took a few steps forward like a mad buffalo and snatched the child from Su Tang's arms.
Su Tang didn't dare to pull, for fear of breaking Mai Sui's bones. She had concerns, but Wang Jianfeng didn't.
He took out a knife and waved it around. Unfortunately, Su Tang was cut by him and his hand slipped away weakly.
Wang Jianfeng held Mai Sui, who was crying loudly in fear, tightly in his arms, and pushed through the crowd to rush to the front of the podium.
His hair was messy and his eyes were red.
At this moment, the cold tip of the knife was pressing tightly against the tender neck of the wheat ear.
Su Tang was about to go forward without caring about the injury on his arm, but was stopped by Lin Qian.
Wang Jianfeng is in this state now, and it is obvious that he is not willing to listen to anything.
If you get stabbed by him, you will die.
The guests were instantly excited and screamed everywhere.
Mai Sui's terrified cries were heartbreaking, and her small body struggled in vain in Wang Jianfeng's iron-like arms.
The tip of the knife had already left a glaring bloody mark on her tender skin!
"Wang Jianfeng! Are you crazy? Put the child down!"
Li Haixin's eyes were bloodshot, and almost instinctively he held Zhang Cui, who had collapsed instantly, tightly behind him to protect her.
He stared at Wang Jianfeng with red eyes like an enraged lion.
"If you have anything to say, come to me! Don't hurt the child!"
"Coming for you?"
Wang Jianfeng became even more jealous when he saw Li Haixin protecting Zhang Cui. He laughed wildly, and his laughter was even more unpleasant than crying.
"Hahaha! Coming for you? The woman I raised, the child I raised! Why should they be given away to a lousy cook like you?"
His arms trembled violently with excitement, and the tip of the knife against Mai Sui's neck moved closer!
"No! Wang Jianfeng! Please! Don't hurt Mai Sui!"
Zhang Cui cried out in despair behind Li Haixin, and her legs went weak as she was about to kneel down.
"Dad! Mom! Wuuwuwu..."
The crying of wheat ears almost tore everyone's heart.
The festive atmosphere in the shed disappeared, leaving only screams of terror, crying children and hysterical threats.
Everyone's heart was in their throat, and their eyes were fixed on the deadly knife.
"Wang Jianfeng! Put down the knife! That's your daughter!"
Zhang Cui struggled behind Li Haixin, her voice hoarse and desperate, tears smearing her bridal makeup.
She wanted to rush over, but was protected by Li Haixin.
"My dear daughter?"
Wang Jianfeng seemed to have heard a huge joke, and pressed the tip of the knife a little deeper into Mai Sui's delicate neck.
The scarlet bloodstain stung everyone's eyes.
"If she follows you, she'll have to call this lousy cook daddy from now on! I, Wang Jianfeng, can't afford to lose this guy! Zhang Cui, you either come back with me today, or..."
The madness in his eyes almost overflowed: "Or I will let Mai Sui be buried with me! Let everyone see how you, Zhang Cui, forced your own daughter to death!"
"You're fucking farting!"
Li Haixin's forehead was bulging with veins and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made crackling sounds.
He wanted to rush up and tear Wang Jianfeng into pieces immediately, but the knife against the child's neck was like a cold chain that bound all his movements.
He could only stand in front of Zhang Cui like a wall, staring at the deadly knife.
At this moment, a clear voice with undeniable calmness pierced through the chaos.
"Wang Jianfeng!"
The crowd automatically parted, Su Tang pushed aside the people in front of him, and walked quickly to the front of the stage.
There was no panic on her face, only a calm sharpness, and her eyes were fixed on Wang Jianfeng's wrist holding the knife.
"Look at the wheat ears."
Su Tang's voice was not loud, but it reached Wang Jianfeng's ears clearly.
"She's only two years old! She's your daughter, and you're scaring her so much she's shaking all over! Look at the blood on her neck!"
Wang Jianfeng subconsciously lowered his head and met Mai Sui's eyes, which were filled with great fear and tears.
The child's tiny body was sobbing violently in his arms. Because he was too frightened, even his crying became intermittent, and his little face turned blue and purple.
The bright red bloodstain was extremely glaring on Mai Sui's snow-white skin.
Wang Jianfeng's arm trembled almost imperceptibly.
Su Tang seized the moment of hesitation, spoke faster, and spoke clearly.
"Wang Jianfeng, you keep saying she's your daughter, what are you doing now? You're threatening her mother with her life!
Are you a man? You looked down on your sister-in-law, beat her and scolded her, and even after the divorce, you still can't bear to see her live a good life!
Now you're threatening me with my child's life? Ask all the fathers here, who would do such a cruel thing to their own flesh and blood?
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of all the men present.
Several people with hot tempers had clenched their fists. Someone quietly picked up the shovel handle beside them and stared at Wang Jianfeng's back with unfriendly eyes.
Murmurs and accusations began to rise from the crowd.
"What a piece of shit..."
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs!"
"Put the child down!"
Invisible pressure surged towards Wang Jianfeng like a tide.
Su Tang's words, the contemptuous and angry looks from the people around him, and the increasingly weak sobs of the child in his arms were like countless needles piercing his confused mind.
The hand holding the knife began to tremble violently and uncontrollably, and the tip of the fruit knife, which had been pressed tightly against the wheat ear, moved slightly away from the skin.
"Dad...it hurts..."
The ears of wheat whimpered weakly, and this call was like the last straw.
"Wheat ears!"
Zhang Cui caught the tiny deviation of the knife tip, and the motherhood that had been overwhelmed by fear and despair burst out with amazing power at this moment.
She suddenly broke free from Li Haixin and rushed towards Wang Jianfeng desperately!
The target was not Wang Jianfeng, but the small, fragile figure in his arms!
"Get out of here!"
Wang Jianfeng was so frightened by Zhang Cui's desperate action that he subconsciously shrank back and his arms instinctively loosened.
Now is the time!
Li Haixin, who had been ready to pounce like a cheetah, finally moved.
He was faster than Zhang Cui! Instead of lunging at Wang Jianfeng, he moved sideways like a shadow, cutting in between them, aiming directly at the wrist of Wang Jianfeng's knife-holding hand.
"Let go!"
Li Haixin shouted loudly, and the strength and accuracy he had practiced from years of flipping the wok were brought to the extreme at this moment.
His rough big hands were like iron pliers, tightly gripping Wang Jianfeng's wrist.
"ah!"
Wang Jianfeng only felt a sharp pain and numbness in his wrist, as if he was hit by an electric current, and his five fingers instantly lost strength.
"Bang!"
The fruit knife, which was shining with a cold light and stained with blood from wheat ears, slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Mai Sui's small body slid down softly as Wang Jianfeng's arms lost strength.
