Chapter 237 Lu Yao, you coward!



Chapter 237 Lu Yao, you coward!

Zheng Wenli was so frightened by Hu Niu that he quickly backed away.

It almost scratched me.

With a panicked look, she said, "What are you doing, Ding Mei? Did you ask me to do something a man should do?"

Ding Mei glared at him angrily with her almond-shaped eyes: "Then tell me, what should a man do?"

Zheng Wenli said aggrievedly, "Isn't a man's job to protect girls? If we get married, we'll have children with our wives..."

Ding Mei blushed.

This guy is so creepy, he thinks I want to...

What kind of brain do you have!

Ding Mei admonished, "What I'm saying is, stop playing dirty tricks behind Lu Yao's back and slandering him. If you're a man, stand up to him face to face, make him fear you, make him respect you—that's what a man should do!"

"what?"

Zheng Wenli felt a chill run down his spine. This was not something a man should do; it was something only an idiot would do!

Lu Yao is a rough, uneducated man with a gun, a militiaman who only knows how to shout for battle, while I am an educated man!

He shook his head and said, "I'm not like Lu Yao. I don't know how to fight. All I know is how to teach and nurture people."

Ding Mei glanced at him disdainfully: "Is that so? Then you should educate him properly and teach him..."

I wanted to tell him to stop being so promiscuous, but I found it hard to bring up the subject.

He didn't want to say a bad word about Lu Yao in front of Zheng Wenli.

She lowered her head and continued to play with the tiger girl, ignoring him completely.

Zheng Wenli had nothing to say.

Of course, he couldn't leave either, so he came over and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), also playing with Tiger Girl.

Zheng Wenli tentatively started a conversation with her, talking about his work and saying that he wanted to arrange a job for Ding Mei, but Ding Mei needed to have a city household registration first.

He implied that he wanted Ding Mei to marry him in order to bring her into the city.

He also talked about how capable his father was and how wide his social circle was, saying that all his uncles and elders were in that circle.

His father is the next director of the cultural bureau.

He was talking so much that he was foaming at the mouth, but little did he know that Ding Mei wasn't listening to a word he said.

His eyes kept looking out the window.

What he was thinking was whether Tuwazi was really angry.

Why doesn't he come in and throw this incessantly nagging madman Zheng Wenli out?

Even when it was time to eat, Ding Dahu and Xie Chunfang came in to set the table, but Ding Mei didn't say a word to Zheng Wenli.

Ding Dahu, on the other hand, was having a pleasant chat with Zheng Wenli, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.

Zheng Wenli repeated the boast he had just told Ding Mei.

Ding Mei was completely bewildered.

But Ding Dahu found it very helpful.

If Ding Mei can change her fate through marriage, then it will not have been in vain for me to give birth to her.

Comparing Zheng Wenli and Lu Yao, I feel that the young man from the city is more reliable.

At the very least, he showed great respect for his elder, addressing him as "Uncle" repeatedly, never speaking without smiling, and always filling his own glass before pouring wine.

He felt that if Xiao Meizi married him, she would definitely be happier than if she stayed in the countryside with Lu Yao, that rough and uncultured man.

It makes me proud to say it out loud.

Therefore, Ding Dahu was exceptionally enthusiastic towards Zheng Wenli.

When he finally left, Ding Dahu personally saw him off at the door.

Fueled by alcohol, Zheng Wenli asked Ding Dahu somewhat nervously:

"Uncle, I think Xiao Meizi seems a little reluctant to talk to me. Could it be that she doesn't like me?"

Ding Dahu slapped him hard on the shoulder, intending to encourage him, but almost slapped him on the butt.

"Child, Xiao Meizi is a girl, she's never been in a relationship before, of course she's shy. It's impossible for her to start chatting with you endlessly the moment she meets you. The fact that she didn't kick you out shows that her opinion of you has changed!"

Zheng Wenli was pleased to hear this:

"Uncle, how about I have my dad come over sometime and we can finalize this marriage? What do you think?"

Ding Dahu scratched his head and looked out the window.

He forced himself to say, "It's fine, but I feel you should spend more time with Xiao Meizi."

"Okay! Thank you for your approval, Uncle!"

Zheng Wenli became extremely excited upon hearing the word "line".

Ding Dahu acknowledged his own abilities, and Ding Mei had already kicked him out without even meeting him, so the matter was already more than half settled.

When the time comes, I'll have my dad come and lay out all the conditions for the marriage. I don't believe they won't agree!

The thought of marrying my dream girl made me so happy my butt didn't hurt so much anymore.

When I turned around to push my bicycle, I found that both tires were flat.

The valve core was pulled out.

Zheng Wenli immediately realized it was Lu Yao and cursed angrily.

Ding Dahu found two air valves for him from his own home, installed them, and then helped him inflate the tires.

Seeing how much Ding Dahu respected him, Zheng Wenli was able to pedal while sitting down when he rode back.

We've just arrived at the village entrance.

Then a big man drew a bow and shot an arrow that flew over and stuck into a tree behind him.

The arrow flew past Zheng Wenli's head at a distance of only a foot, startling him so much that he twisted the handlebars several times, almost plunging headfirst into a snowdrift.

When I get angry, I start cursing:

"Lu Yao, you bastard, are you trying to kill me? Are you jealous that I'm with Ding Mei? Not only did you rip me out of my life, but you're trying to murder me here. Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you even if you kill me. I will never leave Ding Mei!"

Lu Yao's usual playful and smiling expression was completely different.

He drew his bow, nocked a second arrow, took a few steps forward, and the sharp arrowhead gleamed coldly.

"Zheng Wenli, I forbid you from ever seeing Ding Mei again, or I'll shoot you right now!"

Zheng Wenli took a step forward.

"Go ahead and kill me if you dare. I'll be waiting for Ding Mei even after I'm dead!"

Lu Yao's hand trembled, and Zheng Wenli shuddered as well.

However, he didn't dodge and glared angrily at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao was just trying to scare him.

He put the arrow away, sighed, and said, "Well, it seems you really like Ding Mei. You'd better treat her well from now on."

"Do you think you can lecture me? Who do you think you are to Ding Mei?!"

Lu Yao went over and pulled out the arrow, then put it away.

"Get the hell out of here before I lose my temper. If you ever dare to bully Ding Mei again, I'll rip your dick off!"

Zheng Wenli smiled contemptuously: "Hmph, I know you like Ding Mei too. But what do you have to compete with me? What good conditions can you offer Ding Mei? My time at the commune is just a formality; I'll be going back to work in the city afterward. As for you, you'll never be able to shake off your rural household registration in this lifetime."

Lu Yao watched him brag and felt his breath tingle.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings.

I just sat here and smoked half a pack of cigarettes.

Knowing that Zheng Wenli hadn't left for so long, Ding Dahu had invited him to stay for dinner.

Lu Yao sat there, asking himself why he, who had previously encouraged Ding Mei and Zheng Wenli to be together, now felt a tightness in his chest.

Could it be that he has actually fallen for Ding Mei?

So Zheng Shuang doesn't want it anymore?

Zheng Shuang's voice, appearance, and smile are flashing before my eyes again.

The little girl is so adorable. Her attachment to me is so strong that I would be willing to die for her.

Despite his womanizing ways, Lu Yao's care for Zheng Shuang is like that of a father caring for his little daughter!

Those women outside were just for fun; he never developed any real feelings for them.

If anyone dares to harm Zheng Shuang, Lu Yao will not hesitate to kill her.

If he were to be with Ding Mei, the girl who haunted his dreams, it would be tantamount to blocking her birth and forcing her back into the world.

Lu Yao struggled to figure out what he really wanted, burning six cigarette burns on his arm with a cigarette butt.

When I saw Zheng Wenli coming over, my first thought was to beat him up.

But now that Zheng Wenli is spitting at him, Lu Yao is holding back and hasn't made a move.

It's because I haven't resolved this inner conflict yet.

"Hurry up and run, or I'm afraid I won't be able to stop you from getting beaten up, and I might accidentally kill you!"

"Hey, hey, hey, look how powerful you are! Which grave did you kill? Try hitting me!"

At this moment, emboldened by alcohol, Zheng Wenli remembered Ding Mei saying that he wasn't manly enough.

I really wish Ding Mei were here with me right now, so I could see how I would talk back to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao didn't say anything and started walking back.

Zheng Wenli has shown his true colors.

"Hmph, coward. He only fooled Xiao Meizi with a facade."

After saying that, he turned around to get into the car.

I pedaled the bike twice but it didn't move.

Sensing something was wrong, I turned around and saw Lu Yao lifting the drive wheels by the car rack.

The rear wheels spun along the ground, unable to move an inch further.

Lu Yao glared angrily.

"You sissy, I'm not beating you up because of anyone else, but because of Zheng Shuang. You dare treat me like a coward?"

Zheng Wenli was unconvinced.

He was filled with arrogance as he drank two and a half ounces of strong liquor at Ding Dahu's house.

"What, go ahead and hit me if you dare!"

Suddenly, the way he looked at Lu Yao changed. Why did this guy's eyes seem to be spitting fire?
