Chapter 328: Chapter 329 Teach You a Lesson on Being Human

Seeing Song Xiaodong scolded by her father like that, Lin Su’er’s face turned very ugly. She grabbed Song Xiaodong’s arm and said, "Brother Dongzi, let’s go." She didn’t want to see Song Xiaodong being humiliated here and she didn’t want him to have a conflict with her father. Even though she knew her father was a bastard, he was still her father. She couldn’t let Song Xiaodong fight with him.

"Go? He’s going to get the hell out of here, but you’re staying." Lin Gang stared at them with fierce, leopard-like eyes.

"What else do you want?" Lin Su’er really began to get angry, her tone becoming somewhat assertive.

Lin Gang glared at Lin Su’er and said angrily, "What do I want? You little wench, just because you have a boyfriend now, you think you have the confidence to talk back to your father?"

Lin Su’er said with a mix of anger and distress, "He’s my friend, and no matter what, you can’t be so violent to him."

"So what if I’m violent to him? Not only will I be violent, but I’ll also beat him. Damn it, how dare he woo Laozi’s daughter; he must have the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard." With that, Lin Gang raised his hand and struck at Song Xiaodong, his slap swift and heavy, the mark of someone accustomed to slapping others.

Song Xiaodong caught Lin Gang’s wrist as soon as he raised his hand. This was only because Lin Gang was Lin Su’er’s father; otherwise, Song Xiaodong would have retaliated. But he was indeed angry. Even though he had anticipated Lin Su’er’s father to be no good, he hadn’t expected him to be this awful.

Lin Gang’s wrist was caught. He shouted, "You little bastard, you’ve got some skills, huh? Die!" With that, he kicked towards Song Xiaodong’s abdomen with full force.

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, he swept his hand to the side, causing Lin Gang’s body to involuntarily tilt, missing his kick and nearly stumbling and falling.

Lin Gang bent down and grabbed a shovel, which scared Lin Su’er pale, and she quickly rushed to block her father, shouting, "Dad, have you gone mad?"

Lin Gang barked, "Get out of the way. Laozi’s going to split him open today!"

"No, no! Brother Dongzi, run!" Lin Su’er screamed urgently.

Song Xiaodong really couldn’t understand why Lin Su’er’s father would have such an extreme reaction and resort to such violence, completely devoid of reason.

To someone like Lin Gang, even ten of him wouldn’t be enough for Song Xiaodong to deal with; not to mention, a shovel as a weapon held no threat to him. Naturally, he wouldn’t just run away.

At this moment, Lin Gang seemed like a madman. Seeing Lin Su’er blocking him, he harshly swung his hand, striking Lin Su’er across the face, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground, while he swung the shovel towards Song Xiaodong’s head.

"Ah!" Even as Lin Su’er fell, she watched the two with a sharp scream.

Song Xiaodong was now furious. It was only their first meeting, and there was no deep grudge between him and Lin Gang, so why was Lin Gang trying to hurt him so viciously? Above all, he was enraged because this man showed no mercy to his daughter, the slap leaving Lin Su’er’s mouth bloody.

With a quick motion, Song Xiaodong caught the descending shovel handle and with a sideward pull, Lin Gang was flung onto the vegetable patch nearby, with the shovel now in Song Xiaodong’s hands.

Song Xiaodong gripped the shovel handle and, with a sudden exertion of shoulder strength, forcefully snapped it, breaking the solid wooden handle in two with a crisp crack.

"I warn you, you’d better not lay hands on me again, or I’ll not be polite to you," Song Xiaodong glared at Lin Gang with eyes as sharp as arrows, then went over and helped Lin Su’er up.

"Su’er," Song Xiaodong said as he saw that the left side of Lin Su’er’s face was swollen, with blood at the corner of her mouth. He felt both heartache and anger, and really wanted to give her father a good beating, but he knew that doing so would only make things more difficult for Lin Su’er.

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing," Lin Su’er quickly shook her head, then pushed Song Xiaodong slightly and said urgently, "Dongzi, let’s go."

At that moment, Lin Gang struggled up from the ground, looking at the broken hoe handle on the floor, he also felt a bit intimidated. He was a thug at heart, and hadn’t changed much over the years, having fought countless fights, but he had never encountered such a ruthless person before.

If Song Xiaodong hadn’t been breaking the hoe handle but had instead been twisting his arm, he feared his arm would have been broken, as he believed his bones definitely weren’t as hard as that hoe handle.

"You can go! But my daughter cannot!" Even though he was a bit scared of Song Xiaodong, Lin Gang still bellowed.

Song Xiaodong turned around to look at Lin Gang and said coldly, "I’m taking Su’er with me, and no one can stop me, but out of respect that you are her father, I’ll ask you one question."

"Kid, who do you think you are to ask me a question?" Lin Gang glared.

Song Xiaodong snorted and said, "I’m with Su’er, and you, her father, refuse without even asking why. Can you give me a reason?"

Lin Gang said belligerently, "Reason? She’s my daughter, and I don’t approve of her being with you, it’s as simple as that."

Song Xiaodong chuckled coldly and said, "Is that so? Well then, I’ll tell you, she’s now my woman, and I’m going to take her with me. I’d like to see who is going to stop me."

Lin Gang’s expression stiffened, and as he was about to curse, Song Xiaodong stared at him and said slowly, "My patience is limited, and out of regard that Su’er is your daughter, I can tolerate you twice, but not a third time. If you insult me again, I won’t mind teaching you a lesson on how to behave."

"Brother Dongzi..." Lin Su’er’s face turned to one of distress, but then Song Xiaodong gently pinched her hand twice, and she paused, understanding his intention to intimidate her father.

This made Lin Su’er feel uneasy, but if Song Xiaodong didn’t assert himself, her father would definitely not let the matter rest, so she held back from speaking, as she also trusted Song Xiaodong.

"Now let’s talk about it, why exactly do you disagree with us being together? And why are you giving me this attitude? If you don’t tell me, I’ll take Su’er right now, and she will never give you a penny again."

Lin Gang twitched at the corner of his mouth and said, "You’ve got guts, kid. But I warn you, I’ve already agreed to Su’er’s marriage arrangement, and the other party is not someone to be trifed with. If he finds out you’re with Su’er, you’re dead."

Song Xiaodong realized right away that Lin Gang must have sold Lin Su’er.
