What was there to explain? The villagers had no interest in hearing excuses from a child trafficker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jiandong’s face was ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was supposed to be the village’s good old boy, yet he’d just wet his pants in front of everyone. How could he ever show his face in public again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought made him wish he could just pass out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Leng Yuan was standing right there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had stopped hitting him out of sheer disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Lin Jiandong dared to pass out, Leng Yuan would just kick him awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jiandong didn’t dare to move a muscle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farce wasn’t over yet. Chen JianShe soon arrived with the brigade leader and the village chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the crowd saw the brigade leader and village chief, they immediately parted to make way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way over, Chen JianShe had already explained the whole situation to Chen Beiguo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He couldn’t believe Lin Jiandong had been audacious enough to sell Xiao Yang to traffickers.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And this was supposed to be the village’s resident good guy!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The man was an animal!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived with his men, he saw that the entrance to the Lin Family’s home was surrounded by a massive crowd, packed several layers deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the villagers were there to watch the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the strong winds, heavy snow, and freezing cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were packed together for warmth, none of them bothering to brush the snowflakes from their clothes. They craned their necks, straining to see inside, afraid they might miss a single detail of the drama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t much entertainment in the village. Most days were just filled with idle gossip, and they were sick of hearing about the trivial, everyday squabbles of their neighbors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today’s events? This was a real shocker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the gossiping aunties had even made a special trip home to grab a handful of sunflower seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She usually saved them for a special occasion, and this spectacle was exactly that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even kindly shared them with a few other aunties she knew nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Chen Beiguo came over, he happened to walk right into the seed-sharing and had about twenty of them pressed into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Beiguo...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face darkened and he snapped,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a full-blown fight going on in there and none of you think to break it up? All you know how to do is gawk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he shoved the sunflower seeds back into her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auntie didn’t seem to mind being scolded. Seeing the brigade leader return the seeds, she just beamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If it wasn’t for having a good time watching the show, she wouldn’t have been willing to share them in the first place!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brigade leader couldn’t bear to look at them. With a grim expression, he pushed his way to the front of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, he saw Lin Jiandong sprawled on the ground, a large, dark patch soaking his pants where the falling snow melted on contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shulan was hiding in the courtyard, her head ducked as she tried to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers were gathered outside, enjoying the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan stood to the side, protectively shielding Gu Jiaojiao. Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang were with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two children clung tightly to Gu Jiaojiao. One side of Sweet Girl’s face was swollen up like a bun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brigade leader was furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Jiandong, you’ve really done it now! You were the one who wanted to adopt Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang. Is this how you treat them after taking them in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forgetting he was being reprimanded, Lin Jiandong lunged forward and grabbed onto Chen Beiguo’s leg, tears instantly streaming down his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt so wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That butcher Leng Yuan beat me half to death! I nearly died!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was freezing in his wet pants and wanted to get up to change, but Leng Yuan’s unblinking stare kept him pinned to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he couldn’t care less about being scolded by the brigade leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the brigade leader felt more reassuring than seeing his own mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wiping away his tears, he tattled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brigade Leader, you have to help me! Leng Yuan is trying to kill me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m an honest man! How dare Leng Yuan treat me like this? It’s outrageous! Couldn’t they have just talked things out? Why did he have to get violent?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Beiguo shot Lin Jiandong a disgusted look and kicked him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that’s enough. None of you are going anywhere. You’re all coming back to the brigade headquarters with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a cold expression, Chen Beiguo ordered a few men to haul them to the brigade headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing things were going south, Chen Shulan tried to sneak away, but Aunt Zhao grabbed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhao family didn’t live far from the Lin Family, so Aunt Zhao had rushed over as soon as she heard the commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She’d seen the whole thing from start to finish, and what a show it had been.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught, Chen Shulan gave a hollow laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister-in-law Zhao! I was just about to head over there myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Zhao didn’t call her out on the lie, instead pointing behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The brigade headquarters is this way. I’m just letting you know, you were walking in the wrong direction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the epitome of seeing the truth and not saying it aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew, but no one said a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other choice, Chen Shulan resigned herself to her fate and followed the brigade cadres.\u003C\u002Fp>",929,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.759Z",1,"novelbin.me","ef0db8ed8688c384f909ff1b95aa91a80f9e73d48c85bf9bee3a5b8976745edc","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-235","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-233",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
