Chapter 368: Mr. Xiao Coughs Up Blood
Chapter 368 Mr. Xiao Spits Blood
After dealing with the dowry issue, Tian Xianhua turned to Mengyu: "Girl, come with your brother. I’ll treat you well, guarantee you’ll feast on delicacies, and no one will dare to bully you!"
Xiao Hua got angry and stood in front of Mengyu to block Tian Xianhua: "Tian Xianhua, you’ve already accepted my brother’s dowry, you can’t pester my elder sister anymore."
Tian Xianhua rolled his eyes: "You’re no longer a member of the Xiao Family, what does the Xiao Family’s dowry have to do with you? Or are you saying—" He sized up Xiao Hua from head to toe: "Actually, you can’t bear to leave me and still want to marry me? Fine, since you’ve already cut ties with the Xiao Family, come with me tonight."
Mr. Xiao’s complexion changed: "Uncle, since you’ve taken our family’s dowry, you shouldn’t be desiring my daughter anymore."
Tian Xianhua scoffed: "She likes me, what’s wrong with me marrying her?"
Mr. Xiao was furious: "Tian Xianhua, one must be honest and keep their word. You clearly promised not to find excuses to pester my Xiao Family’s daughter any longer."
Tian Xianhua’s face also turned sour: "I did say I wouldn’t find excuses to pester your Xiao Family’s daughter, but Xiao Hua has already severed ties with your family, she’s no longer your Xiao Family’s daughter."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao was filled with rage, and with a loud "Ah—", he spouted a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Mr. Xiao publicly disavowed his daughter with the goal of not letting Tian Xianhua use his son’s marriage to force his daughter into a marriage with him.
Previously, when his son’s life was threatened, he did not hesitate to push his daughter forward to save his son’s life.
But with Ru Yi forcibly revealing the truth, that she was still unspoiled and not pregnant, ensuring his son’s life was safe, he began to consider having the best of both worlds.
He didn’t want his son to miss out on having a wife, nor did he want to throw his daughter into the fire. Thus, in agony, he implemented the severance of ties with his daughter that she had declared in a fit of anger.
He thought that with his daughter cutting ties, there would be no more threats, and it was a good opportunity to use the money his daughter gave for severing ties to prepare the dowry and build a new house to marry a daughter-in-law.
But to his surprise, Tian Xianhua was so despicable. Even after giving 600 yuan for the dowry, his daughter still couldn’t escape from his clutches. How could he not spit blood in anger?
Seeing her father spit blood, Xiao Hua got furious.
She yelled, "Father—" and then charged at Tian Xianhua, punching him.
Mr. Xiao was so enraged that he spat blood and fainted, and even Tian Xianhua felt a bit guilty.
After all, he had only brought his sister to Red Stone Village, not even a single henchman. If the people of Red Stone Village turned angry, he, outnumbered, could likely suffer a loss.
What he didn’t expect was that the people of Red Stone Village didn’t lay hands on him; instead, Xiao Hua, a delicate girl, was the one who took the initiative to hit him.
Being a scoundrel with no scruples and without a code against hitting women, when he saw Xiao Hua coming at him, he immediately confronted her, throwing his fist out to meet Xiao Hua’s punch!
Both fists collided with a "bang".
Not only did Tian Xianhua not expect it, but other people from Red Stone Village also did not expect Xiao Hua to take the initiative to hit Tian Xianhua.
Seeing Tian Xianhua throwing a punch, they all widened their eyes: poor Hua, how could her small fists withstand those of Tian Xianhua, a big man?
Especially since this big man often gets into brawls and fights!
With this punch, poor Hua’s arm would probably break, wouldn’t it?
