Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating

Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Dong Wenzhong Disgusts People

“Daughter, what’s going on?” Mrs. Xu cried out in shock, tears streaming down her face as she quickly ran to Xu Ying, snatching her daughter from Huo Chen’s embrace.

This bastard, daring to hold her daughter, clearly tired of living.

Mr. Xu’s face was also grim.

Sobbing, Xu Ying, looking timid with her doe eyes, quietly explained the whole story. “Dong Wenzhong asked to meet because he had something to say to me, so I went.

He blurted out that he wanted to marry me. I wasn’t willing at all. Just look at him now, so ugly, I don’t want to be with him.

Who knew he would suddenly try to undress me? I got scared and ran, but he accidentally tripped and fell.

Then Huo Chen and his wolf came, and it was Huo Chen and his wolf who saved me, preventing me from being bullied, woohoo, if I had been bullied, I wouldn’t want to live.”

Xu Ying cried so pitifully, it was heartbreaking to watch.

Dong Wenzhong, with a swollen face, lay on the ground. Hearing what Xu Ying said, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, desperately trying to explain through his swollen mouth, “It’s not like that, she trapped me.”

Unfortunately, his face and mouth were so swollen that his words were unclear, and nobody could hear what he was trying to say.

Off in the distance by the Youth Corps, Chen Yanran watched Dong Wenzhong be inexplicably discredited and felt somewhat relieved. This guy had ruined her and now wanted to discard her to be with Xu Ying. Now, he got his retribution.

Chen Yanran was almost delighted, not intending to help him at all.

The villagers of Xujia Village would surely take their own side, looking at Dong Wenzhong with shared animosity, “Dong Wenzhong, you are truly despicable. Take a look at yourself, daring to fancy Xu Ying, why don’t you just die.”

The three Xu brothers, faces full of anger, rolled up their sleeves ready to strike.

Xu Ying, afraid that they might actually kill someone, quickly tugged at Mrs. Xu’s cuff and whispered, “Mom, if they keep hitting, he might die.”

Hearing this, how could Mrs. Xu let her sons carry the burden of manslaughter, and quickly intervened, “Enough, don’t hit him anymore. Thankfully my daughter is fine, or I would have killed this bastard myself.”

Xu Ying was carried back home by Xu Shengwu.

In the end, Dong Wenzhong was carried back by people from the Youth Corps.

Given the recent events, Dong Wenzhong’s reputation in both the Youth Corps and Xujia Village had become extremely poor.

Mentioning him made everyone feel disgusted.

Looking neat and scholarly on the outside, but harboring such filthy thoughts and engaging in vile deeds.

Once Xu Ying was back home, Mrs. Xu thoroughly checked her daughter for any injuries.

“Ah, how could Dong Wenzhong be such a scoundrel? Fortunately, Huo Chen showed up in time, else our daughter would have suffered terribly.

Xu, you must not let that scoundrel off easily; he likes cleanliness, make him shovel pig dung in the pigsty,” Mrs. Xu said angrily.

Mr. Xu, smoking his cigarette, nodded in agreement.

“Eldest Son, later take some eggs to Huo Chen’s house as your sister owes them for their help.”

Mrs. Xu had the same thought, “I still have a bottle of Malt Milk Essence in the cupboard, take that to the Huo Family as well, for Granny Huo to drink.

At her age, she needs something to nourish her body.”

Eldest Xu nodded quickly and ran to the kitchen to gather all the eggs.

Mrs. Xu went inside the house, took the Malt Milk Essence, and even got the canned meat that the youngest son sent a few days earlier, “Send these all to the Huo Family as well!”

Such a profound debt of gratitude—Mr. Xu sat in the courtyard, his face obscured by smoke, contemplating that in the past, such a life-saving grace would have been reciprocated with a promise of marriage.

“Guiying, come inside the house with me!” Mr. Xu called out to his wife.

Mrs. Xu, still busy advising her son, glanced at her husband, saw his serious expression, and after quickly speaking to Eldest Son, she hurried back inside the house.

Inside the house, Mrs. Xu curiously asked her husband, “Jianguo, what’s wrong? Is something the matter?”

Mr. Xu replied, worry clouding his features, “Our daughter was saved by Huo Chen twice today, and she even ended up in his arms. Many people saw it.

What should we do about this? I think that young man Huo Chen is not too bad.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu exploded, “No way! The Huo family is too poor. Our daughter would suffer if she married into their family!”

Mr. Xu glared at her, “Lower your voice. You’re not young anymore, stop making such a fuss.”

But Mrs. Xu insisted, determined that her daughter could not marry Huo Chen.

With the condition of the Huo family, and the character of Granny Huo’s sons, it just wouldn’t do.

Besides, Granny Huo is already old. Who knows how long she could live?

What if Granny Huo passed away soon after our daughter got married? What then would her days with Huo Chen be like afterward?

The Huo family’s house is rundown and shabby. Who knows if it might leak when it rains.

“I simply won’t agree.”

Mr. Xu furrowed his brow, “You women and your ways, what do you know? If our daughter really ends up with Huo Chen, we will still be in the same village, close enough to help them out.

Granny Huo is old; our daughter might not have to deal with her for long. You know how our daughter’s temperament is, having an elder around might just stir up trouble.

But if Granny Huo passes away, it will just be her and Huo Chen, and with us looking after them, how could their life not be good?

You saw it yourself today, Huo Chen made over ten yuan just selling mountain goods. In a month, that’s several hundred. They could start building a house immediately.

If they keep this up every day, soon they’ll be the richest in the village. Do you still think they will struggle?”

Mrs. Xu, swayed by Mr. Xu’s argument, suddenly saw his point.

Yet she still hesitated, “But our daughter is still young, I was hoping to keep her with us for a few more years!”

“We could engage them first, and have the wedding a year or two later. Besides, even if they get married, it’s still within our village. She’d be just a few minutes’ walk away,” replied Mr. Xu.

Mrs. Xu nodded.

Xu Ying had no idea she had just been promised away.

She was lying on her bed, chuckling to herself, finding great relief in the thought of Dong Wenzhong being beaten half to death by her.

She wasn’t going to let it end there. She wanted Dong Wenzhong to watch as each of her family members succeeded more than the last; he wouldn’t get his wish of returning to the city. She would make sure he stayed in the countryside forever, never able to leave.

“Little sister, dinner’s ready,” called out Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, and Xu Ying quickly climbed out of bed.

Dinner consisted of a roast chicken that Xu Ying had brought back; Eldest Sister-in-law Xu tore the meat into pieces and dressed it lightly.

The staple food was steamed buns and a thin rice porridge with boiled pumpkin, accompanied by a stir-fried vegetable dish.

Perhaps it was her good mood, but Xu Ying ate heartily, finishing a full bowl of porridge and two buns, leaving her stomach satisfyingly full.

As night descended slowly, inside Huo Chen’s house, Huo Chen lay in bed, already asleep.

Xu Ying lay in his arms, her soft body and gentle warmth pressed against his chest, their bodies cuddling closely, her slightly warm breath caressing his neck.

His brows furrowed with a sexual tension*, he struggled to control the agitation in his heart when suddenly the girl in his arms lifted her face and smiled at him.

Her eyes sparkled flirtatiously, cheeks rosy like peach blossoms, she slowly sat up and leaned in to kiss his lips…
