Chapter 1430: Are You a Local?

Zhao Desan saw clearly and knew Zheng Jie was in a difficult position. He felt even more sorry for her; if he hadn't agreed to have dinner with her, he wouldn't have caused her such big trouble. Thinking of this, Zhao Desan poured all his resentment onto the homeless man. He knitted his brows, glared at the homeless man, and said, "You, a big man with hands and feet, why can't you do anything else? Why do you have to snatch people's things?"

"I... I..." The homeless man struggled to say two "I"s and couldn't say anything else.

"You, what's wrong with you?" Because he was a bit angry, Zhao Desan's tone was a bit harsh. But after saying this, he felt the homeless man's accent didn't sound like a local's, so he continued to ask, "You're not a local?"

"Yeah," the homeless man nodded and answered.

"Damn it, it's all because of you, you stinking hick, for getting me into this state." Zhao Desan seemed still not over his anger, his eyes widening a bit more.

"I... I really had no other way, I was at the end of my rope!" The homeless man said with a face full of grievance.

"Damn it, you're feeling quite aggrieved, aren't you?" Zhao Desan really couldn't hold back his temper. He reached out and slapped the homeless man on the forehead, then continued, "Tell us your name first!"

"I, I'm called Shuanzhu," the homeless man answered truthfully.

"Where are you from? Keep talking, don't just answer one question at a time." Zhao Desan asked as if he were interrogating a criminal.

At this moment, Zheng Jie, who was standing to the side, spoke up. She looked at the homeless man, who was nervous from being frightened by Zhao Desan, and said to Zhao Desan, "Alright, alright, stop scaring him. Just let him talk slowly."

The homeless man looked at Zheng Jie with deep affection, feeling a heavy sense of gratitude toward this beautiful young matron. Seeing Zheng Jie standing in the center of the living room, he stood up abruptly and said, "Big sister, you should sit here." But because he stood up too abruptly, the bed sheet wrapped around him slipped off, and his robust muscles were immediately exposed, showing themselves to Zheng Jie and Zhao Desan.

"Ah!" Zheng Jie screamed and quickly covered her eyes with both hands. Zhao Desan was stunned for a moment but immediately reacted. While shouting, "You stinking brat, how dare you act like a hooligan in broad daylight!" he lunged forward and pinned Shuanzhu onto the sofa.

Zhao Desan was so focused on the fact that the other guy was acting like a hooligan that he forgot he was also wrapped in a bed sheet. In his anger, he pinned Shuanzhu down, but he ended up just like Shuanzhu—exposed...

Zheng Jie was shocked by Zhao Desan's shouting. She took her hands away, wanting to see what was going on, but when she looked, it was terrible—two naked men were right in front of her. Ashamed, she shook her head, turned around, and ran into her bedroom...

"You... you..." Zhao Desan shouted at Shuanzhu in frustration, "I've been ruined by you this time!"

The two men stood up one after another, nimbly wrapped the bed sheets back on, and then looked at each other. Shuanzhu spoke first, "There's an aunt, but no older sister of an aunt. My family only has me as the only seedling."

Zhao Desan looked at Shuanzhu's naive and silly appearance and really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hand at Shuanzhu, signaling him to sit down, and then shouted toward the bedroom, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

After a long silence, the bedroom door creaked open, and Zheng Jie walked out with a flushed face. It was clear she was embarrassed to the extreme.

Seeing Zheng Jie walk out, Zhao Desan quickly explained, "It's all this kid's fault, don't mind it, sister-in-law!"

"It's... it's okay, I know neither of you did it on purpose," Zheng Jie said magnanimously.

Seeing that Zheng Jie had walked up to them, Zhao Desan intentionally moved his body to the side and said to Zheng Jie, "Sister-in-law, you sit down too. I really want to hear where this kid came from."

Zheng Jie didn't decline and sat sideways next to Zhao Desan. For a moment, Zhao Desan could clearly feel her soft body gently brushing against his shoulder, and at the same time, a faint scent with a woman's unique body fragrance slowly blended into his nostrils. Zhao Desan liked this scent very much...

To cover up his somewhat flustered mood, Zhao Desan quickly said to Shuanzhu, "Hurry up and talk. Why did you come here, and why did you take this path? Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. I'll kick you out right now." As he said this, Zhao Desan even glared at him intentionally.

Shuanzhu looked at Zhao Desan's fierce appearance, and a trace of disdain appeared on his face. He lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, "Kick me out then. It's not like it's my first time sleeping on the street."

"What did you say?" Zhao Desan seemed to have heard his low muttering and asked sternly.

"Hey, no need for you to force me. Since you are good people, I'll just tell you everything." Shuanzhu said this, turned his body, faced Zhao Desan and Zheng Jie, sighed deeply again, and said slowly, "I really don't know where I came from. I just know that where we are, there are mountains and water, green mountains and clear water, beautiful scenery, dozens of times better than here..."

"I say, big brother, can you say something useful? Stop jumping around with those stinking words, okay?" Zhao Desan said extremely helplessly.

"Xiao Zhao, don't be impatient. Let him talk slowly." Zheng Jie reached out and pulled Zhao Desan's arm. The feeling of being soft and boneless, with a hint of coolness, made Zhao Desan tremble. Shuanzhu looked at Zhao Desan, saw that he didn't speak anymore, and said, "Actually, I was also cheated by someone to come here..."
