More and more villagers gathered around to watch. The bonfire in the middle of the field swayed in the evening breeze, occasionally reflecting the silhouettes of several people.
Su Yunqiu's face was pale, and he looked aggrieved, as if he was deeply hurt by Lin Mo's words, and he was on the verge of collapse.
However, where outsiders could not see, she held the silk handkerchief tightly in her hand, and she did not care that her nails were deeply embedded in the flesh of her palm.
"Yun'er, what's wrong with you?"
A mellow male voice interrupted, and everyone turned around. Two people squeezed out of the crowd. The leading man looked worried and anxious as he walked towards Su Yunqiu.
Su Yunqiu paused, quickly collected himself, and smiled, "Husband, Yun'er is fine. She just saw her brother and came over to say hello."
Lin Mo glanced at the two people walking forward, observing them subtly. He had heard before that not long after Su Yunqiu broke off her engagement with him, she married the wealthy Wang family from the next village. He glanced at the man whom Su Yunqiu called her husband, and felt inexplicably happy.
The family that Su Yunqiu's mother found for her was indeed the best family in the surrounding villages. Although Lin Mo was a rising star and made a lot of money, he was still a little behind the Wang family.
In addition to owning a shop in the town and a large house in the village, the Wang family also has a scholar who is still studying. It is said that the teachers in the academy have guaranteed that this scholar from the Wang family will be among the top three in the next academy examination. In other words, sooner or later, the Wang family will have an official.
If Su Yunqiu marries into the Wang family, she will become the official's cousin's wife. Who knows how much blessing she will enjoy in the future. Just for this reason, no matter how rich Lin Mo is, he can't compare to her.
Wang Lao Er raised his eyes and looked at Su Mu unscrupulously. He sneered and said with disdain: "No wonder your mother was willing to sell it into slavery to my family. It's too ugly. If you hadn't said he was a boy, I would have thought he was a man of iron bones."
He glanced at Lin Mo, and seemed to know Lin Mo's identity. He deliberately straightened his back, puffed out his chest, and said loudly: "Fortunately, he was not sent to my house at that time, otherwise I would be nervous just looking at him. Fortunately, there is someone who is so blind as to be willing to marry him. Madam, don't worry about whether he becomes a concubine or not. Anyway, he has nothing to do with the Su family anymore."
Wang Lao Er's words were not subtle at all. He deliberately said that Su Mu was ugly in front of Lin Mo. On the surface, he was attacking Su Mu, but in fact, wasn't he mocking Lin Mo?
Lin Mo snorted coldly, his voice cold and gloomy, "I always heard people say that the uglier a person is, the stinkier their mouth is. Now I see that it is indeed true. If it weren't for the fact that Big Brother looks so decent, I would have thought someone's toilet had exploded and the feces were sprayed everywhere."
“Puff…”
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, he caused a burst of laughter from the people around him. Wang Laoer was even more furious. The atmosphere at this moment was anxious and tense, and those who laughed out loud hurriedly covered their mouths.
Lin Mo continued, "After I broke off my engagement with Su Yunqiu, I heard that her mother had found her a perfect husband. I was wondering, since I'm so handsome, what kind of man could compare to me? Now that I see him, it's truly unbelievable."
Lin Mo raised his head, puffed out his chest, and revealed a meaningful sneer: "I am taller than you, more muscular than you, and more handsome than you. As for houses and shops, my Lin family also has them. Moreover, as far as I know, the scholar from your Wang family is your cousin, not your biological brother. I don't know what you are bragging about every day."
As he said that, Lin Mo turned around and pulled Su Mu, asking flatteringly: "Mu Mu, am I more handsome than Wang Lao Er?"
Meeting Lin Mo's sparkling eyes, Su Mu nodded blankly. Wang Laoer was thin and small. Although he was dressed luxuriously, his shriveled figure made him look like a child who had stolen adult clothes. Not to mention his facial features, each of them had its own characteristics. When put together on a face, although he was not too ugly, he was definitely not good-looking.
Wang Lao Er was extremely embarrassed and gasped in anger. He pointed at Lin Mo and finally managed to say something after a long while: "So what if you are a little more beautiful than me? I still married your fiancée, and now you can only marry an ugly guy who no one wants."
Lin Mo glared with thick eyebrows, took a few steps forward, and grabbed Wang Laoer's collar. Wang Laoer was only half a head taller than Su Mu, at most 1.7 meters tall. Lin Mo was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and he lifted him up easily.
"Stop calling me ugly. What's so ugly about Mu? Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge. Is that considered ugly? Then what about you with short eyebrows, small eyes, and a big nose? Aren't you just too ugly to be seen in public?"
Lin Mo said with gritted teeth, this guy with yellow bean eyes kept calling him ugly, he really couldn't help it, if there weren't so many people watching, he would definitely beat this guy half to death!
Wang Laoer was also frightened at this moment. Lin Mo's entire body was covering him, and he could lift him up with just a light lift of his big hands. The strength of those hands was so great that he couldn't pry them apart no matter how hard he tried. What was even more terrifying was those eyes that were full of hostility.
It stared at him like a poisonous snake, as if it would take his life in the next moment. Wang Laoer had never seen such a look before, and he was so scared that his legs and feet became weak.
He was sure that if this continued, Lin Mo would beat him to death!
"Don't be like this, Brother Lin, please spare me and don't hurt the relationship. It was my cousin who was rude, and I apologize to you on his behalf."
A man rushed out from behind Wang Laoer. He pulled Lin Mo and kept urging Wang Laoer to apologize. His words were sincere and humble.
Lin Mo stood still as a mountain, holding Wang Laoer's neck and looking at the elegant man in front of him. This man should be the scholar from the Wang family.
He sneered. He could have stepped in to stop Wang Laoer from the beginning, but he had to wait until he got angry before speaking.
"Lin Mo, let go, he... he can't breathe!" Su Mu hurriedly hugged Lin Mo's waist and pulled him back.
He was so anxious that sweat covered his forehead. He had seen Lin Mo's most angry expression, which was just louder. This was the first time he saw him so cruel as to pick up a man like a chicken.
Seeing the young husband's eyes turn red with anxiety, Lin Mo's face immediately changed, and he looked at Su Mu aggrievedly: "He was the one who was mean to me first, and he also said you were ugly, when you are so handsome."
Su Mu's heart softened, and he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. He was born ugly, and as a boy, he looked like a man, which was ugly. But Lin Mo actually fought with others for such a sentence. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
"Then... let go quickly, he already knows he's wrong..." Su Mu grabbed Lin Mo in panic, fearing that Wang Laoer would be strangled to death by Lin Mo.
Lin Mo pretended to be confused, loosened his grip on Wang Lao Er's neck, and asked nonchalantly, "Do you know you're wrong?"
