The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Chapter 461: Chapter 457: A Man Needs Face, a Tree Needs Bark

"What is wrong with you people! You didn’t even ask how many Leng Yuan caught before you told him to get on his knees."

Someone who couldn’t stand it anymore countered.

Sun Yeshu’s happy expression froze. She turned her head to look at the man who had spoken.

She remembered that he seemed to have a crush on her. He’d even stolen several glances at her just now while watching her second brother pull up fish.

’Why is he speaking up for Leng Yuan now?’

Sun Yeshu was displeased.

"Whether we ask or not, the result is the same. You don’t really think Leng Yuan could have caught more fish than my second brother, do you?"

After she spoke, Sun Yeshu found the idea rather amusing.

She wasn’t the only one who laughed; many others did as well.

They were all sure Leng Yuan had lost.

Hearing this, a mocking expression crossed the man’s face. "Actually, Leng Yuan did win. He caught twenty fish."

And that was while he was explaining and demonstrating for everyone, deliberately slowing his movements. On top of that, he even threw back some of the small fish he caught.

He said it would be a shame to eat such small fish, and everyone felt a little ashamed when they heard that.

If it had been them, they definitely wouldn’t have let those little fish go, not if it meant winning the competition.

Compared to Leng Yuan’s conduct, the Sun siblings’ behavior just made everyone feel uncomfortable.

He used to have a bit of a crush on Sun Yeshu, but now he had absolutely no interest in her.

’With a personality like that, she’s bound to have a difficult life.’

The smiles on Sun Yeshu and Sun Yecheng’s faces froze. There was a moment of silence from their group, followed by murmurs of disbelief.

Chen JianShe couldn’t take it anymore.

"When you win, it’s perfectly normal, but when we win, suddenly the count is wrong? There was more than one person counting. Are you saying all half-dozen of them can’t see straight?"

Sun Yecheng still didn’t believe it. He strode over to Leng Yuan’s bucket, and with a single glance, he could tell there were far more than thirteen fish.

And they were all big ones, without a single small fish among them.

Sun Yecheng’s expression turned ugly.

Sun Yeshu ran over to look, too, and was dumbfounded.

’Her second brother had lost.’

The crowd looked on, confused, and anxiously asked Sun Yecheng for the result. But both Sun Yecheng and Sun Yeshu were frozen to the spot, neither of them saying a word.

It slowly dawned on the crowd: Leng Yuan had won.

No one had ever seen Leng Yuan fish before. To think that he was not only a great hunter, but also an expert angler.

Not to be outdone, Chen JianShe ran over to Sun Yecheng’s bucket and peered inside. There were only six or seven big fish; the rest were all small. He immediately snorted in contempt.

"Using such tiny fish to pad the count... you really have some nerve."

The outcome was obvious.

Sun Yeshu thought about feigning a faint.

But Gu Jiaojiao spoke first. "Someone isn’t thinking of fainting, are they? Your mother didn’t faint just now when she thought your second brother was dead and tried to shake us down for money. If you pass out now, I’ll just push you into the fishing hole to help you wake up."

’She wouldn’t go easy on people like this.’

Sun Yeshu had seen Gu Jiaojiao hit Chen Shulan, so how could she dare to faint now?

But if she didn’t faint, she would have to kowtow.

’And she didn’t want to kowtow, either!’

Sun Yeshu shot a pleading look at Sun Yecheng, who frowned. "The bet earlier was just a joke. Kowtowing isn’t necessary. How about you just apologize?"

’That was a compromise he could accept.’

Chen JianShe laughed. "You’ve really got some nerve. A joke? Just a minute ago, when you thought you’d won, you were shouting from dozens of feet away for my sister-in-law to get on her knees. And now you say it’s a joke? Who do you think you’re fooling?"

"Folks, you all saw it! When the Sun family wins, they force people to kowtow. When they lose, they go back on their word! You tell me, is there any justice in that?"

"No! If you lose, you own up to it!"

"A person needs their dignity just like a tree needs its bark! Words once spoken can’t be taken back!"
