Chapter 198: Chapter 198 Don’t Scratch your Face_1
The situation was embarrassing enough and He Rongxi had already lost face. The words the little boy said made him look like he’s been through a dye workshop.
The little rascal was crafty and with an innocent face, he said, “Uncle, your mother looks quite young! Although she has many wrinkles, her body shape is not bad at all.”
He Rongxi looked at Jing Tong’s eyes, the obvious wrinkles in the corners caused by anger, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.
Jing Tong was greatly jolted by his clear expression. She had been barely maintaining her composure and the grace of a high-class woman, but now she was seething with anger, burning up all her rationality.
“Do you wish to die! He’s my husband, my husband.”
“What?” The little rascal was surprised, his big black eyes wide open, and shouted, “Uncle, your wife looks about as old as your mother! Your city folk have such unusual tastes!”
The onlookers burst into laughter at the boy’s words.
“Hahahaha…Get out of here! Don’t come to our village seeking attention.”
“I think he’s seriously sick.”
“We may be rural people and poor, but we haven’t eaten your food or spent your money. Stop showing off, just scram!”
The villagers in Xiao Wang Village tended to compete and quarrel among themselves over their respective lives. It could be about neighbours, in-laws, or some kinship problems.
Watching such scuffles was almost like a festival for them, but that didn’t mean that outsiders could bully them. They could fight among themselves, but if outsiders intruded, they would unite and fight back.
“Shut up, all of you! A bunch dull peasants, quiet!” Huo Jinlan was furious, even more so than Jing Tong. She had been revered since childhood, and now being so insulted, she couldn’t bear to swallow her pride.
The little rascal rallied, taking a group of tykes who charged like cannonballs. They knocked Huo Jinlan and Jing Tong to the ground, a group of dirty little hands began clawing at the two women.
“Ah! Ah! Ah! Let go, you pests! Let me go.”
“So filthy! Scram… Scram…”
“Don’t mess with my face, whoever dares to touch my face, I will kill you.”
“Who the hell is pulling my hair?”
Other than Jing Tong and Huo Jinlan’s screams, the surroundings quieted down.
Guan Rufang was holding a rolling pin, uncertain whether to continue holding it or put it down.
Jiang Yang was holding a basin of water. He stared blankly at the two sisters. It was the basin he had prepared to catch fish in the morning.
Nan Fei silently complimented the little rascal in his mind and decided to treat him and his little pals to White Rabbit Creamy Candy the next day.
He Rongxi hadn’t expected things to escalate this way, but now it was out of control. He was a clean freak and immediately retreated from the chaos.
His face was full of disgust.
Huo Jinlan was unable to break free. Her face was fiery from the chubby hands gripping it. Huge panic overcame her. Her face… she couldn’t allow it to be scratched, even if it meant death.
Somehow, she found the strength to grab Jing Tong and use her as a shield. Instantly, a flurry of punches and kicks was diverted to Jing Tong.
