Chapter 34
Swelteringly unbearable! Summer's main tune had even the cicadas too lazy to chirp, a testament to the scorching heat.
In the village store, Shen Lijuan and Shen Lihong, the two sisters, were frantic like ants on a hot pan, too consumed to care about the heat.
"Sis, we need to find Little Long, pack our things, and flee tonight!" Shen Lihong's face was etched with worry. She stomped her foot and gritted her teeth, her sweat-soaked shirt revealing a pair of large breasts jiggling. "We'll hide out at Erniu's place for a bit."
"If that doesn't work, we'll just settle there and never come back! Little Long broke the village secretary's leg—do you think we'll have a good life here anymore?"
Shen Lijuan's eyes nearly popped out with anxiety. How could she not grasp the gravity of the situation? Fleeing was an option, but where was Little Long now?
"Sis, this afternoon alone, that bastard Chen Tianyun came demanding money twice. We've already given him nearly ten thousand! How much more can we afford?" Seeing her sister hesitate, Shen Lihong pressed on.
"You know the Chen family—ruthless and cruel. Forget Chen Tianming or Chen Ergou; that tyrant Chen Tianyun is enough to ruin us. If we don't run, what are we waiting for?"
"But where do we find Little Long?" Shen Lijuan's panic surged, tears streaming down her face, unstoppable.
In the sisters' hearts, Little Long wasn't just a nephew—he was their man, having been intimate with them. Which woman wouldn't worry about her man?
"Find what? I'm back, aren't I?"
The backdoor curtain parted, and Long Gen's tall figure strode in.
