Stay Home Daddy: I Was Reborn After My Daughter Passed Away-Chapter 52 - Fifty-two Gu Chen is here _1

“Yo, you’re not going to explain? Quite bold, aren’t you? I won’t hit you, but in today’s matter, you won’t get away without one hundred yuan, nobody can.”

“Two hundred, two hundred!”

Dong Qingfang yelled from behind, desperation filling her eyes.

This damn man, are those two slaps really worth a hundred yuan?

Did she get hit for nothing?

“Right! Two hundred, not a cent less!”

“If you really can’t come up with the money, let my wife slap you twice as well, to get some revenge.”

Lei Bo snorted coldly, looking towards Ji Pianran.

He was aware of Gu Chen’s family situation, they were so poor they were nearly starving.

To be honest, his own women were really cruel; he even thought a hundred was too much.

Ji Pianran looked at him coldly, not uttering a word.

At this, Dong Qingfang felt rather smug.

“What now? Not so tough anymore? You can, can’t you? Upset when I call you a meat seller? Can you bring out the two hundred without selling meat?”

“Today I won’t hit you either. Bring out the money, and there’s no issue. If no money, then sell the house, the land, the daughter. Even if Gu Chen has to go out to sell blood, you must come up with the money!”

Ji Pianran looked at Dong Qingfang’s shameless face and felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.

Not to mention that the money was hard-earned by Gu Chen, even if it had fallen from the sky, she wouldn’t give these rogues a single cent!

“Lost your mind over money? Let me tell you plainly, not a single cent—you shouldn’t even think about it.”

She, Ji Pianran, had never been one to submit easily, not in the past, and certainly not in the future.

Dong Qingfang could never have imagined that this woman could be so tough when speaking.

Angered, she yanked on Lei Bo’s sleeve forcefully, “Good! You hit someone and won’t pay up, where’s the justice in that? We’ll take this matter to the county and it’ll still be our word against yours. If you don’t pay up, I’ll call the police and have this crazy woman arrested! Lei Bo, say something, will you? Just look at this woman!”

Lei Bo: “…”

Look at her, what then?

This Ji Pianran, he had only known before that this woman was good-looking, but he hadn’t realized she was also so stubborn. What was most important was, what did her calm demeanor mean?

Was it contempt?

Or did she simply not take him seriously at all?

Lei Bo was someone with a reputation in the village after all; his father was an official there, and his family wasn’t poor.

And yet she dared not to take him seriously!

He took two steps forward, his tone growing harsher.

“Ji Pianran, don’t dishonor the wine only to be forced to drink a penalty one!”

Ji Pianran chuckled coldly, her hand already quietly clutching the wooden handle of the broom.

“Don’t come any closer!”

Although she was ready to counterattack, to tell the truth, Ji Pianran had no confidence at all.

After all, Lei Bo was a man, and Dong Qingfang stood behind him.

By herself, if it really came to blows, there was a good chance she would lose.

With that thought, she felt somewhat nervous.

Seeing a change in Ji Pianran’s expression at last, Lei Bo was delighted.

“What now? You’re finally afraid? Then bring out the money. Several days have gone by, you must’ve saved up quite a bit, right?”

No sooner had his words fallen than they heard the door outside creak, pushed open from the outside.

It was Gu Chen!

He had come back early today, originally returning home early, but upon arriving he discovered Ji Pianran wasn’t there and remembered she said she was going to Li You’e’s house.

So, he prepared to pick her up and go home together.

Unexpectedly, just as he walked to Li You’e’s doorstep, he heard Ji Pianran having an argument with a man inside the house.

The voice sounded like Lei Bo.

Moreover, they were talking about Ji Pianran saving money!

He decisively pushed open the door and walked towards Lei Bo.

Without saying a word, he punched him, “Go to hell, what’s it to you if she saves money or not!”

In her previous life, Ji Pianran had also saved up money, only to have it taken away by Gu Chen himself, which led to her complete despair and disappointment in him.

What was Lei Bo implying by bringing this up now?

He wasn’t mocking Ji Pianran; he was laughing at the incompetence and cowardice of Gu Chen.

Having been punched, Lei Bo staggered backward.

Then he finally steadied himself.

The punch landed on Lei Bo’s nose, causing it to bleed immediately.

He touched the blood on his face, “Well done, Gu Chen, you actually hit me!”

Did he think Lei Bo was a pushover?

Just as Lei Bo stretched out his hand, his punch not even fully extended, Gu Chen countered with a grappling move and pinned him to the ground.

In his previous life, Gu Chen had worked as a security guard in a neighborhood to make ends meet.

That’s where he learned the grappling technique.

Lei Bo was in so much pain he cried out, “Gu Chen, have you gone mad?”

Gu Chen sneered, was he the one who was mad?

“I think you’re the one who’s gone mad, or maybe it’s madness from poverty!”

Not sparing even a woman, if it wasn’t madness from poverty, then what was it?

Dong Qingfang saw her husband being pinned to the ground and hurried over, “You little thug, I warn you to let go of Lei Bo right now, or you’ll face the consequences!”

Gu Chen sneered, did he look like he indulged in good consequences?

He had already resorted to violence, so why would he care for such threats?

The moment Ji Pianran saw Gu Chen, the tightly wound nerve in her brain instantly relaxed.

A hint of moisture shimmered in her beautiful almond eyes.

Heaven knows that for a moment just now, she really missed Gu Chen, even though she was helpless.

But now, Gu Chen was standing right in front of her.

No matter how one looked at it, the scene seemed unreal.

Yet in her heart, warmth flooded in for real.

It was as if she had found a reliance in an instant.

Yes, that was the feeling.

She swallowed and hurriedly let go of the broom in her hand and walked towards Gu Chen.

“Let go, don’t hurt him too badly,” she said.

Gu Chen remained silent, grabbing her hand that had just clutched the broom, clearly seeing how tightly she had been holding on to it as if that was her only support.

Now that he was here, he was her true support.

“Alright, I’ll listen to my wife,” he said.

Having said that, Gu Chen finally let go, and Lei Bo felt as though his arm had almost been twisted off by Gu Chen.

As soon as Gu Chen released his grip, Lei Bo immediately stood up, “You little bastard, how dare you hit me?”

Gu Chen ignored him and turned to look at Ji Pianran.

“Why was he asking you for money?” he asked.

Ji Pianran pursed her lips, holding her head down, looking very much like a child who had done something wrong.

Dong Qingfang, as if she had found some justification, was screaming, “Because she hit someone!”

Pointing to her own face, she added, “Look at this handprint! Two hundred bucks, it’s only fair!”
