Chapter 603: Episode 321 You Have to Stand as a Punishment_2
"I won’t sell, are you satisfied now? Heartless, all of you!"
Chun Xi, leading the group of women, spit in his face again and sneered, "Don’t think you can deceive anyone here. With so many witnesses present today, we all have eyes on you. If you dare do such filthy deeds again, you won’t get away with it!"
Wen Huaren picked up the paper, carefully put it back into his chest, clenched his teeth, lifted his chin, and said, "I know today’s affairs are not right, and it’s inevitable that it will leave a bad name. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the officials. I will confront you in the court, in front of the County Magistrate, and we will clarify everything. Even if I end up in jail, I won’t let you have it easy."
Before Zhou Qing could speak, he continued, "Furthermore, from today onwards, Zhou Yunyun’s earned wages are yours to take, and if not given, you are not to come knocking for them. She is now a part of Daoxiang Garden, and if you wish to trouble her, you must consult me first."
His words were forceful, and among the hundred or so onlookers behind him, some started applauding, loudly exclaiming, "Scholar Wen, well said, you are a real man!"
"...What do you mean ’like’ a real man, he clearly is, genuine and exchangeable if not as promised."
Behind a large tree not far away, Hua Xiaomai couldn’t help but mutter to herself.
Wen Huaren usually looked weak and appeared incapable of even trussing a chicken, yet at the critical moment, he could truly show courage and provide reassurance.
She felt that Wen Huaren’s seemingly fragile silhouette had suddenly grown taller, and after quietly admiring him in her heart, she turned her head only to see Zhou Yunyun’s face smeared with tears from sobbing.
"I know today’s event is rather improper, and if you reproach me, I would understand." She sighed, patted the girl’s shoulder.
