Chapter 287 Extra 7 This is what a sweet romance novel heroine should be like 2
A few years later, another child, Tong Jiaming, started attending school. Tong Linsheng would pick up and drop off both of them together, and the siblings relied on and loved their older brother very much.
The neighborhood kids all know they have a tough older brother. If anyone bullies Tong Jiahui and Tong Jiaming, that kid will take revenge without holding back for a night. Sometimes he'll even go to their door and drag the kids away to "reason with them"!
Everyone says that Tong Linsheng was Tong Jiahui's childhood sweetheart, and that he was her son-in-law who moved into her family's home. The Tong family doesn't pay any attention to this and doesn't offer any further explanation.
On the one hand, it's true that if they're not meant to be, forcing them together isn't a good thing; on the other hand, if the two children are meant to be, the neighbors will laugh at them.
Years later, Tong Lin grew into a handsome young man, while Tong Jiahui was already very beautiful when she was twelve or thirteen years old.
Jia Hui had been well-nourished since childhood and was taller than most girls. Standing among a group of classmates who were two or three years older than her, she stood out.
Looking at her eldest granddaughter, Tong Yuqing felt a sense of pride, like a daughter growing up.
Tong Jiahui grew up happily under the protection of her family. However, some malice would suddenly appear around her without asking any questions.
Huang Chaoyuan, the son of a puppet army commander, accidentally saw Jia Hui dressed in a school uniform. He was attracted by her innocent and sunny smile and set his sights on her!
That guy's a born scoundrel; he's interested in girls around twelve or thirteen. Because his father's a lackey of the Japanese, he's ruined several young girls!
The Tong family kept a close watch on their children, and Jia Hui was always accompanied by a boy who was rumored to be her "childhood sweetheart," so he never had a chance to make a move. Finally, one day, Tong Jia Hui went to the park with two girls from her class, and he, along with two thugs, kidnapped her!
Tong Linsheng was nearby at the time. He was worried about Jia Hui and the other girls going out, but it wouldn't be appropriate for him to follow them openly, so he secretly followed behind them.
These past few days, he's felt like someone is watching Jia Hui, and he has a very bad feeling about it. He thinks he has to break up with Jia Hui.
Arriving at the lakeside woods in the park, Jia Hui and her friends began to choose a good angle, set up their easels, and prepare to sketch. At this moment, Huang Chaoyuan and his henchmen rushed up, used handkerchiefs smeared with sleeping pills to knock out the three girls, and each carried one girl on their backs and ran towards their house.
Tong Linsheng immediately rushed over, pulled Jia Hui off Huang Chaoyuan's back, held her in his arms, and then gently placed her on the grass.
He was filled with rage, so he rushed forward and punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground! What followed was a barrage of punches and kicks, making Huang Chaoyuan howl loudly!
The two lackeys put down the man they were carrying and joined the fight between the two. At first, Tong Linsheng was at a disadvantage and was beaten bloody by the three of them! But he didn't utter a sound and just kept attacking Huang Chaoyuan!
At this moment, some people nearby heard the noise and ran over. The three scoundrels were also frightened. It was clear that their goal for today could not be achieved.
"Kid, you're going to die!"
They made some threats and turned to run away. Tong Linsheng didn't chase after them. Instead, he picked up a fist-sized rock and threw it at one of the boys, breaking his head! The boy covered his head and ran away like a rabbit.
Tong Linsheng woke the two girls and told them to go home quickly and stay home as much as possible for the time being. He carried Jia Hui home on his back, just like when they were children. He didn't wake her up, afraid that she would be frightened and cry because of what had just happened.
Tong Linsheng carried Jia Hui home and hurriedly told Grandma Tong what had just happened. Grandma Tong knew something bad was going to happen; that fake army commander would probably cause trouble!
That man, nicknamed "Weasel," is cunning and treacherous. He's been trying to prey on people like them who do business for a long time! This time, he'll definitely turn the tables and falsely accuse Lin Sheng of injuring his son!
Sure enough, not long after, the house was surrounded by "weasels" and their soldiers. Old Mrs. Tong had already told Tong Linsheng to hide outside. She stood calmly in the yard, watching them ransack the house.
"Old lady, where did your grandson run off to? He hit my son and ran away? Do you think the Huang family is easy to bully?" The weasel couldn't find anyone and hadn't found anything valuable in the house, so it started shouting.
"Commander Huang, did you ask why your son was beaten? Look at my granddaughter, she was drugged by your son and almost kidnapped. You couldn't possibly not know about this!"
"Hmph, don't give me that crap. Who can testify that my son was infatuated with your granddaughter? My son was beaten so badly he can't get out of bed, but lots of people saw it! You need to give me an explanation!"
So they're planning to negotiate, they just want money!
"Although I don't think my child has done anything wrong, the common people can't fight with the officials. I'm also a businessman, and I value harmony. Commander Huang, just tell me what you want to hear."
"Give me three thousand silver dollars and I'll teach that kid to beat him up, and that'll be the end of it!" Huang Pizi knew that anyone who could make a living had connections behind them. His son had caused trouble first, but he had only suffered some physical pain. It would be better to make a killing off this old woman!
"Commander Huang, my family runs a small business and doesn't have that much cash. I only have a thousand on hand at most, enough to find a good doctor to examine your son's injuries. As for my grandson, he's not even my biological son. He got into trouble and ran away, and I can't catch him. Why don't you just arrest me and put me in jail instead!"
The old lady also gave him a "dead pig doesn't fear boiling water" attitude.
"Old woman, you've got some nerve! You dare to haggle with me?" He pressed a pistol against the old woman's head, which startled Zhao Ningshuang, who ran out of the house and stood in front of her mother-in-law.
"No, don't hurt my mother-in-law! She's not lying, we really don't have that much money!"
She trembled as she recalled the bullets that whizzed past her ears and the innocent civilians who fell beside her when her whole family fled.
No, she doesn't want to lose her mother again! If you want to beat her, just beat her to death. Anyway, her husband saved her life, and all the extra years she's lived are a bonus!
"Ning Shuang! Go back and take care of the children! Don't cause trouble!" Old Mrs. Tong's gaze fell on her daughter-in-law as she looked at the weasel. A sly glint flashed in his beady little eyes, and she became even more nervous.
My daughter-in-law is in her early thirties, beautiful and petite, a typical Southern beauty. If she catches someone's eye, it won't be something money can buy; I'm afraid they might want both her and their money!
In previous years, her son used chemicals that made her face dark and yellow, making her look nothing like a woman. People would believe she was an immature boy!
No, we must keep the weasel in check before we can think of another way!
"Oh, is this your daughter-in-law? No wonder my son has taken a liking to your granddaughter. The mother is beautiful, so the daughter must be just as good!"
"Haha, grandma, how about we arrange a marriage between the children? That way we'll be in-laws, and I won't hold it against the kids for fighting!"
