The Blessed

Getting so mad, Han Fei had already forgotten that Tiewa was behind them. He pushed Zhao Dalong aside and yelled back at them, hands holding around the waist. Having stayed by Ling Jingxuan’s side for so long, he more or less had seen something through. The more timidly you showed, the further the other side would have gone. So, only fighting back in the front would the other side get scared and no longer come to make trouble again and again. Heaven knows how regretted he felt now!

“You...”

“Ignore him. We're here to see our grandson.”

The old woman was furious. As she was about to argue back, the old man timely pulled her, at the same time, Ling Jingxuan and others also arrived. Seeing Tiewa in Ling Jingxuan’s arms, the smile of those four was full of calculation, but not a slice of affection.

“Oh my big grandson, let grandma hold you... Ouch...”

With an exaggerating cry, the old woman threw herself at them, trying to snatch the kid from Ling Jingxuan. But with a dodge sideways of Ling Jingxuan, the old woman failed and nearly hit the ground with her face. Seeing that he looked not weak, and the few people behind him also wore silk clothes, looking quite noble, the old woman who held her feet tightly kind of flinched, and then shrank back behind the old man embarrassedly.

“Who are you? Give us our grandson.”

The old man tried to straighten his stooped back, made a tiger face to bluff. Tiewa who got frightened by them last time reflectively held Ling Jingxuan’s neck and buried his face in his shoulder. Ling Jingxuan raised a hand to pat on his back. After casting a cold glance at those people, he directly walked before Zhao Dalong and Han Fei, “Brother Zhao, Brother Han, I will take the kid to my place. And you come to grab some food later. Having been busy a whole day, don’t cook yourselves.”

Being completely ignored, that whole family got so mad, but no one took any notice of them. Zhao Dalong nodded and touched Tiewa's head, “Be good. Go to adoptive daddy’s place. We’ll go over soon.”

“Hmm.”

The hands holding Ling Jingxuan’s neck tightened a little, Tiewa did not look up, just replied an ‘hmm’ sullenly. Zhao Dalong and Han Fei felt so sorry on seeing that. This time, they would never make any concession!

“Oh right, this afternoon Lord Magistrate asked Qingzi and others to go the yamen. Brother Zhao, you are a friend of the lord, so, you take them over torrow.”

After a few steps, Ling Jingxuan suddenly looked back and said so, out of the corner of his eyes caught a trace of horror flashing across those people’s eyes. He couldn’t help sneering in the heart. With such little huts, how dare they come to blackmail them again? It was the ultimate stupidity.

“Hmm.”

Although Zhao Dalong was not ineloquent, he was not stupid. As Ling Jingxuan opened his mouth, he knew he was trying to imply him that he should not forget to use all the advantage he could, in the face of the kind of pushy scoundrels, it was no use talking some sense with them. Only if he let them scared would they dare not come again.

“Let's go.”

Seeing that he seemed to understand, Ling Jing Xuan nodded to Yan Shengrui and led the others toward their Yuehua Manor not far away.

“I don't care whether you really miss the children, or think that you easily took a hundred taels from me last time, think that my money is easy to take, and plan to come more times, I don't care to know, if you want to make trouble, we can go to the county government tomorrow, I want to see if the county magistrate will help you or me.

After watching them enter the manor, Zhao Dalong just pulled Han Fei and turned around to face them, the expression was indescribably distant, under the eyes was faintly showing the determination, which told them he was serious this time.

“You...”

The old couple pointed at him, shaking with anger, their son and daughter-in-law behind them w timely went forward to hold them. As early as when they heard the word magistrate, their legs already turned soft. Never expected that Zhao Dalong even got related to the magistrate now! For a moment, they didn’t know how to respond.

One had to say, compared with those unbelievable people of the old Ling family, these people were as timid as a hare. What made them think they could succeed blackmailing them?

“Please! You are not welcomed in our house. Don't let me see you again, or...”

The next words, Zhao Dalong did not continue to say, just coldly cast a glance at them, then turned around and walked inside with Han Fei.

“Dad, just let them go like that?”

Looking at their back, the middle-aged man said reluctantly, they still planned to ask for a few more hundred taels.

“What else can we do? You want to go to jail? I didn't expect he has anything to do with the magistrate. Let's go home first and come back after we get clear of the situation.”

The old man mercilessly stared at him, took the lead to go out angrily, the old woman hurried to catch up, seeing that, the couple left looked at each other, then had to move. Before leaving, the couple both looked back at the Yuehua Manor not far away, under the eyes coincidently revealing the envious light.

“Brother Long, do you think they’d come again?”

After making sure they had left, Han Fei asked with a sob, eyes reddened. Tiewa was growing up day by day. If it hadn’t been that they were afraid it might break Tiewa’s heart, why would he be so worried?

“I'm sorry. It's all my fault.”

Stopping his steps to seize his hand, Zhao Dalong said apologetically, if possible, he really didn't want to see him sad.

“What are you talking about? It has nothing to do with you. It’s them…Forget it. Enough of them. Brother Long, I guess we should let Tiewa and Dashan live in Jingxuan’s place for some time. If they come again, we should figure out a solution for it, or I’m really worried that they may hurt the kid’s feelings some day.”

In the end, tears eventually rolled out, it was not he was not afraid of them, but he was worried about the kid.

“Hmm you decide. Don't cry.”

Pulling him into his arms, Zhao Dalong’s face was as soft as water, with only determination and resolution in the eyes. He would never allow anyone bully his wife and son, never!
