Chapter 712: Hao Donglian Gets Angry "Brother, why don't you go back first? I'll talk to Xiao Yun and have him send Lin Shu back to you tomorrow—what do you think?" But after Hao Donglian had said those soft words, Er-Tu immediately regained his composure, rising up and blowing his nose, glaring at her with fierce eyes: "You talk so easily! Tomorrow, tomorrow I want her sent back. What if she's harmed by your little one tonight? Can you bear that responsibility?" Hao Donglian was furious and protested: "Er-Tu, don't speak to me so harshly. You've treated Lin Shu so well—how could anyone else, even if it were any other woman, stay with you? Our little Yun is kind-hearted; she simply can't bear to see a man like you whip a woman. That's why she saved Lin Shu. Today, she's not even available—she's seriously injured and needs to rest. Either you leave on your own, or let Yun and her uncle drive you out. This content is from Chapter 712 of 'Rural Beauty of the Village'. Ha Donglian just wanted to prefer fewer matters to more—this was why she kept tolerating the second-son again and again. She hadn't expected this bald-headed fellow to grow more demanding with every passing day, now driving Ha Donglian to be furious. She glanced at Lu Yun, signaling to him that if he didn't leave right away, she'd smash his bald head with a stick. Lu Yun hadn't anticipated that his third aunt would ever get so heated. Now, with both his third uncle and third aunt supporting him, he felt more confident and less restrained—only waiting for the second-son to speak. As soon as the man said a single "no," Lu Yun would immediately charge in and beat him senseless. Lu Yun hadn't expected it, nor had the second-son himself. In the village, Zhao Lao San and Ha Donglian were well-known for their calm temperaments—never having had a serious disagreement with any family before. Now, first Zhao Lao San had pointed a gun at him, and now Ha Donglian, this woman, was coming at him with such fierce determination to beat him up—was the sky about to fall? Er-dux is fiery by nature, a natural fighter in his youth. Even if Lu Yun and Zhao Lao San teamed up against him, he wouldn't have much to fear. Yet he's afraid of dying—afraid that, when Zhao Lao San is truly incensed, he might actually shoot him dead. He simply wouldn't risk his life for a woman he'd bought! With a sharp glare at Ha Donglian, Er-dux coldly remarked, "Today I'm giving Zhao Lao San a face, but this matter is far from over. If your little one dares to touch my wife with even a fingertip, and I find out, neither of us will ever make it through this." After delivering these firm words, Er-dux turned and walked away. It's precisely because they have no families of their own that they've always been able to command respect in the village—without anyone daring to challenge them. Even though Er-dux had brought Lin Shu home as his wife, he never truly regarded her as his wife in heart. To him, she remained merely a means to satisfy his physical desires, a tool for release. If the second-plain-haired man had treated Lin Shu a little better—say, even if he liked to tie up Lin Shu during their intimate moments—Lin Shu would never have repeatedly felt the urge to escape. After the second-plain-haired man left, Hao Donglian exhaled deeply in relief, and Lu Yun held her close, smiling, "Uncle, you were so fierce just now. Didn't you often scold Uncle Li when I wasn't around?" Though it had been just a casual remark, Hao Donglian suddenly straightened her face and said, "All the good things you've done—now see how you'll manage to handle them." Lu Yun remained unconcerned and replied, "What's the matter? At worst, I'll personally see Lin Shu off. Who's going to stop me then?" "Hao Donglian shook her head helplessly, saying, "Youn, I know you're sympathetic to Lin Shu, but this has gone a bit too far. No matter how poorly Er-tu treats Lin Shu, she's still his wife—how can you, a stranger, especially a young, inexperienced one, step in and interfere? The content is from Chapter 712 of 'Rural Beauty.' " Lu Yun nodded, gently holding one of Hao Donglian's full curves, and said, "Uncle, the matter has already come to light—there must be a resolution. Besides, if I don't save Lin Shu, what will I do but watch her die at Er-tu's hands? At the end of the day, it's all been caused by those one thousand yuan. If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have given her the money in the first place—then she wouldn't have gone through all this suffering." "Let's not talk about this anymore. With Er-er gone, we'll finally have some peace tonight. You, my dear, I've been so careful—locked you in the room, even—and still you can't settle down. I truly don't know what kind of trouble you'll get into if neither I nor your uncle are around." Hao Donglian gently stroked Lu Yun's cheek, her face full of concern. "Hey, Uncle and Aunt will surely live long and healthy lives..." Hao Donglian sighed, cutting in before Lu Yun could speak. "Let's not talk about that. By the way, where did you send Lin Shu?" Lu Yun smiled. "She's in my room. Xiao Ying and Xinrou are giving her treatments now. You wouldn't believe how badly Er-er hit her. I was so furious, I almost strangled him with a rope right then." Hao Donglian scoffed. "If you strangle him, what will we do? We still count on you to be dutiful to us. When did you two come back? I didn't hear a single sound at all." “Lu Yun smiled, ‘I came back right when you and your third uncle were facing off against Er Tu. Once I’ve settled Lin Shu, I’ll be right over to lend a hand. Third aunt, just say the word—“I’ll definitely knock Er Tu’s bald head right off!” He raised his right fist as he spoke. “What’s wrong with your hand?” It wasn’t until now that Ha Donglian noticed Lu Yun’s injured right arm. Lu Yun was momentarily stunned, quickly tucked his hand behind his back and said, “Third aunt, let me take you to see Lin Shu.” Then he dashed off. “Stubborn boy—never knows how to make things easy for others,” Ha Donglian chided, following him. At Lu Yun’s room, Lin Shu had already regained consciousness. Her wounds had been cleaned and treated well. When Lu Yun burst in, Lin Shu was being helped by Xiao Ying to put on her final garment—the one that had been torn and stained with blood by Er Tu’s whip. The room itself seemed to carry a strong scent of blood. "I'll go get you a few clothes to change into." Seeing the clothes Lin Shu was wearing, Hao Donglian felt a pang of sadness in her heart, silently lamenting—what kind of world is this? How hard it is to be a woman! ...
