"What do you want?" Luo Xudong asked calmly. The phrase "What do you want?" is usually said when feeling threatened, carrying a sense of insecurity and lack of confidence. Zhang Shunfu felt it too upon hearing these words. No matter how indifferent Luo Xudong pretended to be, he was still afraid of getting beaten up. After all, his old Zhang Family had nearly ten cousins, with seven or eight currently in the village! Zhang Shunfu felt that Beisitian wouldn’t intervene in this matter. If it were an issue between the Luo couple, he certainly wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant. Everyone knew Beisitian would protect them, but since Luo Xudong went outside to find someone, she’s not foolish enough to still help him. From the moment Luo Xudong arrived, Beisitian hadn’t spoken a word, obviously feeling upset. She wasn’t helping, nor calling those big dogs, so Zhang Shunfu was no longer afraid. "If you dare to abandon her, we brothers won’t stand aside and do nothing!" Zhang Shunfu threateningly declared. Zhang Qiao Niang couldn’t hold back anymore and rolled her eyes. The term ’abandoning her’ shouldn’t apply to Zhang Lianqiao here, she’s been glorifying herself the whole time, as if Little Tian’er were the one ruining others’ relationships. Truly quite twisted! "Abandon her? Does she even deserve it?" Luo Xudong replied calmly. Zhang Lianqiao staggered, almost falling backward. Her face turned pale as she looked at Luo Xudong—how could Brother Xudong speak ! "Say it again!" Zhang Shunfu glared, although he wasn’t as tall as Luo Xudong, he was much broader, giving him an imposing presence. Seeing this, Mrs. Qin quickly stepped in front of Luo Xudong, worried about the Zhang brothers causing trouble. "What are you doing over there? Come this side!" Luo Anguo said to Mrs. Qin. If this kid gets hit like that, he’ll have grown for nothing! Mrs. Qin was scolded by Luo Anguo but still refused to move. Beisitian stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and said, "Mom, this matter he should handle himself." Mrs. Qin hesitantly looked at Beisitian, seeing her with a gentle smile and clarity in her eyes, not carrying resentment or showing distance towards them. Mrs. Qin ultimately nodded and listened to Beisitian, who pulled her aside. Luo Xudong turned to Beisitian upon hearing this, seeing her look back with clear eyes. Deep within those eyes was trust, and sensing this trust, warmth spread through Luo Xudong’s heart, and a smile naturally approached his lips. From Zhang Lianqiao’s angle, she could see this smile from Luo Xudong to Beisitian, and jealousy grew like wild grass in spring, gazing at Beisitian she wished she could eat her alive! Anyway, the stone was given by Luo Xudong. If he doesn’t fulfill his promise, she’ll smash herself to death at their home—better die than marry Huo Laosan. Zhang Shunfu frowned when Mrs. Qin stepped in, fearing Luo Xudong but not daring to cross Mrs. Qin. Watching Beisitian pull her away, he was more certain that she wouldn’t intervene, relaxing completely. After all, if your man cheated, caring about the parents is already decent, let alone about his fate. "Luo Xudong, don’t refuse the toast only to drink a penalty! Are you a man? You want to escape responsibility after what you’ve done?" Zhang Shunfu, self-assured, spoke boldly. Nearby, Zhang Lianqiao wished she could shut Brother San’s mouth. She’d barely dodged this issue, and he brought it up again! Afraid Luo Xudong would ask further, she proactively spoke, "Brother San, stop talking... it’s my bad luck. I don’t blame Brother Xudong, after all, these things happened before he went to join the army. It’s inevitable he’d forget... sob sob..." she started sobbing lightly. Hearing her tears, Luo Xudong furrowed his brows slightly, and behind him, Li Yajiang and Zhang Qingming also felt a headache—women are women, always ready to cry! "How can we not speak about this? He’s taken everything, now wants to walk away wiping his mouth? How’s that fair! Rest assured, brother will take care of anything for you. If Luo Xudong dares not marry you, we’ll beat him dead!" Zhang Shunfu boasted boldly. Zhang Lianqiao bit her lip in frustration! If her older brothers were here, they’d surely understand her intentions; Brother San was a talking pig! "Marry her?" Luo Xudong raised his eyebrows, "Even if all the women in the world were dead, I wouldn’t marry her." As soon as Luo Xudong finished speaking, Zhang Lianqiao couldn’t hold back anymore and wailed loudly. Li Yajiang and Zhang Qingming exchanged a glance; those words were harsh, but not excessive towards the Zhang Family! Zhang Shunfu didn’t expect him to speak so clearly, still daring to say such things, so he was instantly enraged, "You’re looking for death!" With that, he swung a punch! Zhang Qiao Niang hadn’t recovered from his words yet and immediately saw Zhang Shunfu moving to punch, quickly avoiding far away. Mrs. Qin covered her mouth in shock, wanting to step forward instinctively but was held back by Beisitian, while Luo Anguo remained seated, staring with a stern face throughout. Li Yajiang and Zhang Qingming stood behind Luo Xudong and moved to assist as soon as Zhang Shunfu launched the attack. The scene started to become chaotic, expecting it to get messier with two people fighting. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shunfu’s punch stopped in mid-air. Or rather, it stopped in Luo Xudong’s slightly raised palm! Luo Xudong steadily caught the punch without a flicker in expression, his body unmoved! Despite Zhang Shunfu’s large build, much of that was fat. To ordinary people, he was formidable, but to Luo Xudong, he was just a bag of wine and food. Zhang Shunfu froze when his punch hit Luo Xudong’s palm, feeling solid as if he struck an iron wall. And he had a feeling that no matter how hard he hit, it wouldn’t budge! This update ıs available on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥 This feeling made him uneasy, and in the next second, his suspicion turned real! Luo Xudong pressed down slightly, and Zhang Shunfu felt sharp pain in his wrist, screaming ’Ah’ miserably. "Don’t you have many brothers? Call them over." Luo Xudong’s gaze appeared deep, and when a chance was delivered to your door, how could one not seize it! "Let go, damn it! Ouch, ouch, ouch! If I call my brothers over, you won’t be able to handle it!" Zhang Shunfu felt pain and rage, didn’t expect Luo Xudong’s strength. He barely finished speaking when the pain eased as Luo Xudong released him, then said, "I’ll be waiting." Zhang Shunfu recognized his intent—he wanted him to call for help. Grinning and massaging his wrist, carefully eyeing him, was there some plot? Luo Xudong’s expression was cold and clear, giving nothing away. Zhang Shunfu glanced at Beisitian before saying to Luo Xudong, "You wouldn’t have called those big dogs, right? You’re a man, solve problems like a man. If you rely on women to protect you, I despise you for it!" Zhang Shunfu provoked him.
