Chapter 312: Beasts Worse than Pigs and Dogs
Di Yelei nearby shouted out, “Speak! Where are the other two children?”
Dong Chang shrank, but did not say a word.
“Everyone, please speak reasonably! Who are you all?”
The hastened group of people had already approached, seeing Di Yelei grabbing Dong Chang off the ground, they hurriedly came forward to stop him.
“Everyone, please let go. If you injure him, it will be a big problem, right?”
An old man stepped out from the crowd to stop them.
Di Yelei did not make things difficult for Dong Chang. Instead, he released him and looked at the newcomer up and down, “You are…?”
The old man scanned the crowd and saw Di Yelei and Zhang Peng both dressed as constables, so he hurriedly introduced himself with a smile and a fist greeting, “I am Dong Wu of the Dong family. I’m actually his fifth uncle. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me.”
“So, you are also Dong Chang’s elder. You’ve come just in time.”
Feeling as if he had found a pillow when he was sleepy, Di Yelei nodded and then kicked Dong Chang, causing him to cry out in pain, before turning to face the newcomers.
“We were just interrogating Dong Chang about the whereabouts of his other two children. Perhaps you, his fifth uncle, can give us an answer?”
“The other two children? Aren’t they with…”
Dong Wu clearly didn’t expect Di Yelei to ask such a question. His gaze swept over Dong Chang and then at the furious people around him. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Please don’t let it be what I think it is!
Never before had he regretted meddling in other people’s affairs as much as he did at this moment, “Dong Chang, where are the other two children?”
Dong Chang naturally curled up and said nothing.
Liu Zhi’er, who was holding Da Mao and sobbing, noticed something was wrong. She quickly let go of Da Mao and pounced on Dong Chang, shaking his body non-stop.
“Dong Chang! You dead man, why don’t you speak? Where are my Er Mao and San Mao? Give me back my children! Dong Chang, ah… my Er Mao and San Mao!”
Liu Zhi’er couldn’t stop crying.
“What exactly is going on here?”
Dong Wu was completely in the dark.
Liu Sisi, who was standing nearby, stepped forward with an icy face, “Let me tell you all how it happened.”
Who would have thought that the Dong family, which looked so dilapidated, actually had a big clan backing them!
Everyone was soon invited into the Dong family’s house. The clan leader was a majestic old man who sat at the head of the room and hardly said a word, just silently listening to the crowd’s account.
Liu Sisi stood below, talking, while Liu Zhi’er was supported by Ms. Xin, refusing to let go of Da Mao’s hand as she cried.
Di Yelei, Zhang Peng, and the others sat quietly to the side, listening to Liu Sisi recount the events.
“Clan Leader, I’ve told you everything that happened. I hope you can stand up and speak for us.”
Seeing the end of Liu Sisi’s words, the clan leader sipped on tea and put down the teacup. Only then did he raise his head and glance at everyone, finally landing his gaze on Dong Chang.
“Dong Chang, where are Er Mao and San Mao?”
The clan leader’s words frightened Dong Chang, causing him to fall directly to the ground, shivering, but unable to speak.
“Hmm? Why don’t you speak?”
The clan leader sternly stared at him.
This scared Dong Chang to the point where he started kowtowing non-stop, “Clan…Clan Leader, I…”
“Speak!”
The clan leader slapped the table.
Frightened, Dong Chang closed his eyes and hurriedly said, “I sold Er Mao and San Mao…”
“You sold them? You sold Er Mao and San Mao? Who did you sell them to? Dong Chang! You bastard, I’ll fight you!”
Liu Zhi’er couldn’t stand it any longer and quickly rushed forward, fighting fiercely with Dong Chang, “Dong Chang! You heartless beast! Ah… you actually sold your own children. Even a tiger doesn’t eat its children, but you’re worse than a beast! Give me back my children! My children…”
Liu Zhi’er fiercely attacked Dong Chang, who knew he was in the wrong and did not dare fight back. Soon, he was covered in injuries.
“Enough! In public, why are you making such a scene!”
The clan leader could not bear to watch any longer and slapped the table angrily.
People nearby quickly separated the two.
The clan leader was extremely troubled. His eyes moved between the silent Di Yelei and Liu Sisi. He could see that the decision-maker in this group of people was this woman.
“Just now you said that you are Little Sister from the Liu family, right? What do you want today?”
He also noticed that the other party was not leaving any room for Dong Chang, so he feared that their intentions might be malicious.
Liu Sisi’s smile was shallow, “Lord Clan Leader, you are overthinking. For such a man who does not treat his wife as a person, if my second sister continues to stay, she has to worry all the time about when the man next to her would harm her. Who would want such a husband? So, we only want something simple: the two of them divorce and never have anything to do with each other!”
“I do not want a divorce. I love Zhi’er. I don’t want a divorce!”
Dong Chang cried out in a heartbreaking tone, looking very pitiful.
“I swear! From now on, I will treat Zhi’er well and never let her suffer. Clan Leader, please help me! I love Zhi’er…”
While crying, Dong Chang moved forward on his knees, kowtowing at the clan leader’s feet, “Clan Leader, please help me, help Dong Chang! I beg you!”
The clan leader quite liked Dong Chang’s attitude of changing course with the wind at this moment.
He smiled and said, “Well… Miss Liu, Dong Chang is sincerely admitting his mistakes. What do you think…should we give them a chance? There’s a saying, ‘It’s better to tear down ten temples than regret one marriage,’ right?”
“There is such a saying! But there’s also one called ‘Mr. Dong Ge and the wolf,’ isn’t there?”
Liu Sisi’s smile became sweeter, but the storm in her eyes grew more intense, “Being kind also requires distinguishing between people and beasts; we can’t willingly walk into the wolf’s mouth, or then things would be bad. Clan Leader, isn’t that right?”
“This…”
The clan leader didn’t expect the woman in front of him not to give face to him in any way.
“Right! Clan Leader, you probably don’t know, do you? When we found Dong Chang earlier, he was gambling in the house, and this child was sleeping in the doghouse of that family, hugging a puppy!” Di Yelei nearby couldn’t help but speak up.
