Chapter 328: Chapter 329 Teach You a Lesson on Being Human
Seeing Song Xiaodong scolded by her father like that, Lin Suâerâs face turned very ugly. She grabbed Song Xiaodongâs arm and said, "Brother Dongzi, letâs go." She didnât want to see Song Xiaodong being humiliated here and she didnât want him to have a conflict with her father. Even though she knew her father was a bastard, he was still her father. She couldnât let Song Xiaodong fight with him.
"Go? Heâs going to get the hell out of here, but youâre staying." Lin Gang stared at them with fierce, leopard-like eyes.
"What else do you want?" Lin Suâer really began to get angry, her tone becoming somewhat assertive.
Lin Gang glared at Lin Suâer and said angrily, "What do I want? You little wench, just because you have a boyfriend now, you think you have the confidence to talk back to your father?"
Lin Suâer said with a mix of anger and distress, "Heâs my friend, and no matter what, you canât be so violent to him."
"So what if Iâm violent to him? Not only will I be violent, but Iâll also beat him. Damn it, how dare he woo Laoziâs daughter; he must have the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard." With that, Lin Gang raised his hand and struck at Song Xiaodong, his slap swift and heavy, the mark of someone accustomed to slapping others.
Song Xiaodong caught Lin Gangâs wrist as soon as he raised his hand. This was only because Lin Gang was Lin Suâerâs father; otherwise, Song Xiaodong would have retaliated. But he was indeed angry. Even though he had anticipated Lin Suâerâs father to be no good, he hadnât expected him to be this awful.
Lin Gangâs wrist was caught. He shouted, "You little bastard, youâve got some skills, huh? Die!" With that, he kicked towards Song Xiaodongâs abdomen with full force.
Song Xiaodongâs face darkened, he swept his hand to the side, causing Lin Gangâs body to involuntarily tilt, missing his kick and nearly stumbling and falling.
Lin Gang bent down and grabbed a shovel, which scared Lin Suâer pale, and she quickly rushed to block her father, shouting, "Dad, have you gone mad?"
Lin Gang barked, "Get out of the way. Laoziâs going to split him open today!"
"No, no! Brother Dongzi, run!" Lin Suâer screamed urgently.
Song Xiaodong really couldnât understand why Lin Suâerâs father would have such an extreme reaction and resort to such violence, completely devoid of reason.
To someone like Lin Gang, even ten of him wouldnât be enough for Song Xiaodong to deal with; not to mention, a shovel as a weapon held no threat to him. Naturally, he wouldnât just run away.
At this moment, Lin Gang seemed like a madman. Seeing Lin Suâer blocking him, he harshly swung his hand, striking Lin Suâer across the face, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground, while he swung the shovel towards Song Xiaodongâs head.
"Ah!" Even as Lin Suâer fell, she watched the two with a sharp scream.
Song Xiaodong was now furious. It was only their first meeting, and there was no deep grudge between him and Lin Gang, so why was Lin Gang trying to hurt him so viciously? Above all, he was enraged because this man showed no mercy to his daughter, the slap leaving Lin Suâerâs mouth bloody.
With a quick motion, Song Xiaodong caught the descending shovel handle and with a sideward pull, Lin Gang was flung onto the vegetable patch nearby, with the shovel now in Song Xiaodongâs hands.
Song Xiaodong gripped the shovel handle and, with a sudden exertion of shoulder strength, forcefully snapped it, breaking the solid wooden handle in two with a crisp crack.
"I warn you, youâd better not lay hands on me again, or Iâll not be polite to you," Song Xiaodong glared at Lin Gang with eyes as sharp as arrows, then went over and helped Lin Suâer up.
"Suâer," Song Xiaodong said as he saw that the left side of Lin Suâerâs face was swollen, with blood at the corner of her mouth. He felt both heartache and anger, and really wanted to give her father a good beating, but he knew that doing so would only make things more difficult for Lin Suâer.
"Itâs nothing, itâs nothing," Lin Suâer quickly shook her head, then pushed Song Xiaodong slightly and said urgently, "Dongzi, letâs go."
At that moment, Lin Gang struggled up from the ground, looking at the broken hoe handle on the floor, he also felt a bit intimidated. He was a thug at heart, and hadnât changed much over the years, having fought countless fights, but he had never encountered such a ruthless person before.
If Song Xiaodong hadnât been breaking the hoe handle but had instead been twisting his arm, he feared his arm would have been broken, as he believed his bones definitely werenât as hard as that hoe handle.
"You can go! But my daughter cannot!" Even though he was a bit scared of Song Xiaodong, Lin Gang still bellowed.
Song Xiaodong turned around to look at Lin Gang and said coldly, "Iâm taking Suâer with me, and no one can stop me, but out of respect that you are her father, Iâll ask you one question."
"Kid, who do you think you are to ask me a question?" Lin Gang glared.
Song Xiaodong snorted and said, "Iâm with Suâer, and you, her father, refuse without even asking why. Can you give me a reason?"
Lin Gang said belligerently, "Reason? Sheâs my daughter, and I donât approve of her being with you, itâs as simple as that."
Song Xiaodong chuckled coldly and said, "Is that so? Well then, Iâll tell you, sheâs now my woman, and Iâm going to take her with me. Iâd like to see who is going to stop me."
Lin Gangâs expression stiffened, and as he was about to curse, Song Xiaodong stared at him and said slowly, "My patience is limited, and out of regard that Suâer is your daughter, I can tolerate you twice, but not a third time. If you insult me again, I wonât mind teaching you a lesson on how to behave."
"Brother Dongzi..." Lin Suâerâs face turned to one of distress, but then Song Xiaodong gently pinched her hand twice, and she paused, understanding his intention to intimidate her father.
This made Lin Suâer feel uneasy, but if Song Xiaodong didnât assert himself, her father would definitely not let the matter rest, so she held back from speaking, as she also trusted Song Xiaodong.
"Now letâs talk about it, why exactly do you disagree with us being together? And why are you giving me this attitude? If you donât tell me, Iâll take Suâer right now, and she will never give you a penny again."
Lin Gang twitched at the corner of his mouth and said, "Youâve got guts, kid. But I warn you, Iâve already agreed to Suâerâs marriage arrangement, and the other party is not someone to be trifed with. If he finds out youâre with Suâer, youâre dead."
Song Xiaodong realized right away that Lin Gang must have sold Lin Suâer.
