Ling Chaofeng used only a little strength to throw Mu Wen Bao out. The child rolled on the ground crying in fear. Madam Xu turned around and carried her son from the ground as he screamed, ”Wen Bao, does it hurt! Wen Bao, let Mother see!”
Xiaowan ran over to her husband's side, and Ling Chaofeng held her hand. More and more bystanders gathered, but they did not come to pay attention to his and her. Instead, they saw the beautiful Ling Chaofeng and the beautiful young lady standing beside his.
The couple walked in the crowd. They were a very conspicuous couple, but when people came and went, everyone was focused on their business and playing. However, at this moment, they stopped and their gazes were locked on each other.
The familiar people whispered amongst themselves, trying to guess Ling Chaofeng's background, and why he had to go against a child.
”Let's go.” Xiaowan said.
Ling Chaofeng did not say anything, and held her hand as they left. Ling Chaofeng's aura was extraordinary, he did not need them to push aside the crowd, so wherever he went, the people passing by would naturally make way for him.
But after walking a few steps, he heard Madam Xu crying and cursing, ”Mu Xiaowan, I worked hard to raise you up so that you can eat and wear. ”Everyone, please give your judgment. I treated my stepdaughter as my own daughter and raised her as my own. In the end, she brought her son-in-law back to beat us up. Look, she threw our child into such a state …”
Within the crowd, there were many villagers of Qingling Village who recognized the Xiaowan and knew that the man beside her was the owner of the Ling Xiao Inn. So the legendary Manager Ling was like this, and not to mention his appearance, when they saw him treat the Xiaowan like this, they all secretly lamented that the bitter days of the Xiaowan had come to an end.
When they got further away, the Xiaowan's heart also calmed down. Looking at the direction of the sun, he said to his husband, ”Let's go find aunt and have a meal together. Hubby, I'm hungry.”
Ling Chaofeng nodded. ”Uncle Biao has reserved a private room in the teahouse.
”Yes.” Xiaowan smiled and looked at his husband with eyes full of gratitude, ”Husband, thank you.”
”What's there to thank me for? Stupid.” Ling Chaofeng laughed.
”As long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything. I will never be afraid of her again.” ”Even if I were to meet her alone in the future, I would not allow her to bully me again. I will eat a lot, and once I grow taller, I will be able to beat her.”
It was evident that what she feared were her past experiences, and not her stepmother's own. At the very least, she wouldn't need to fear that old woman now, but the hardships of the past were etched in her heart, so she was definitely very afraid that one day she would live like that again.
”Go home and I'll teach you a few moves to capture him, okay?” Ling Chaofeng laughed, but as he thought about it, his gaze turned perverted.
”Why do I feel like you want to bully others?” The Xiaowan smiled weakly, looking extremely pampered. ”You're not allowed to bully me.”
The moment he finished speaking, a woman's voice came from not too far away, shouting angrily: ”Wei Tengfei, I'm warning you, if you catch me again, I'll bite my tongue and commit suicide.”
The man calmly said, ”You asked for it yourself.”
After speaking, he hoisted the young girl onto his shoulder. Just like Xiaowan, the young lady wore a white dress, and the man carrying her was the one who had mistaken him just now.
”Let me go, let me go …” The girl punched and kicked the man's shoulders, and even desperately grabbed his hair. It looked painful and painful, but the man didn't budge. He carried the girl and quickly left.
Xiaowan was stunned. She glanced at Ling Chaofeng and saw him smiling. Then she asked weakly: ”If I don't listen, would you treat me like this?”
Ling Chaofeng shook his head, but said: ”You don't dare to disobey?”
Xiaowan raised her eyebrows and said: ”Why would I not dare? Anyway... You don't want to do this to me. ”
The two of them joked around as they went to find Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao. They completely forgot about the incident in Madam Xu, and after eating lunch and listening to the story in the teahouse, Ling Chaofeng felt that this beautiful wife who seemed to be in a daze was much more interesting than the story in the mouth of the storyteller.
During this time, Madam Xu brought her son and daughter back to Qingling Village, and along the way, they met some villagers who were secretly talking about how their mother and son were beaten up by their eldest son-in-law, causing her to be so angry that she almost went crazy.
In the past, she had beaten her stepdaughter to death. But now, when Aunt Wang pushed open the door and came in to persuade her, she only saw Madam Xu pulling the quilt off the brick bed with a bamboo ruler. Her son and daughter were not lightly frightened, but they did not even hit their bodies.
Aunt Wang curled her lips and came up to advise him: ”It's such a festival, why do you need it? Quickly drink some water to calm down.” ”Don't cry, go to my aunt's house and get some mooncakes.”
Madam Xu was so angry that she sat down on the brick bed and wiped away her tears as she said, ”In my entire life, when have I ever lost face like this? If I had known this earlier, I would have asked her father to send this evil creature away.”
