Turning Antagonist to Protagonist: He is Both Soft and Fierce-Chapter 239 - 234: The Villain’s Pride as a Man

"Sister-in-law, you go out first."

Song Tingfan gave her a push, letting her go out first, then he climbed out of the carriage too and quickly ran to the front, exerting all his strength to lift the front part of the carriage.

The veins on his arms bulged, showing how much effort he was using.

Lin Qiao hurried over to help lift, seeing the people inside were scared stiff and not moving. She shouted angrily, "Hurry up and come out."

Only then did the crowd crawl out one by one. Fortunately, they lifted it early, as the child’s face was already half-pressed red. Any later and something might have happened, "Wah wah wah..."

The child’s mother was heartbroken, patting and scolding the driver, "Driver! How were you driving, can’t you see the road with your eyes?"

The others were also very angry, and after looking around, they couldn’t find the driver. Suddenly, someone said furiously, "The driver ran away!!"

The horse and carriage were still there, so the driver certainly hadn’t run away. Lin Qiao glanced at them and then said to Song Tingfan, "Little uncle, look around nearby."

Song Tingfan nodded.

The two looked around and found him in the thorn bush next to the ditch; he had already fainted.

Song Tingfan quickly went down the nearby path, struggled for a while in the thorn bush before carrying him out. His face was already scratched by the thorns.

He pinched the space between his nose for quite a while but didn’t wake up, yet his complexion was normal, probably just fainted from the fall.

The people prepared to demand compensation, but seeing the driver did not wake up, feared getting involved, so they all left, leaving Lin Qiao with the three of them at the scene.

Watching them leave, Lin Qiao sighed in her heart, then looked around; no carriages were coming.

"Sister-in-law, you go stand under the tree, I’ll go fix the carriage."

Song Tingfan carried the driver to the tree, then quickly ran to the distant woods, soon bringing back large leaves for Lin Qiao, gesturing for her to fan.

"I’ll help you."

As Lin Qiao was about to go over, Song Tingfan shook his head, "I can do it alone, Sister-in-law, you mustn’t come over."

The sun was very scorching now, easy to get heatstroke.

He wouldn’t let her, so Lin Qiao stood under the tree, feeling a bit of chest pain for some reason. She glanced at Song Tingfan, saw he didn’t notice her side, so she reached out to rub it.

Must have bumped into something earlier.

Song Tingfan inspected the carriage thoroughly, found the carriage was intact but the rope connecting the horse had broken.

This area was far from villages or shops, it was hard to find a rope. Song Tingfan hesitated but took off his cloth garment, tore it into strips, and twisted them into a rope.

When he finished tying it up, his undershirt was completely soaked, clinging tightly to his body, he pulled it a couple of times.

Then joyfully called out to the woman under the tree, "Sister-in-law, it’s fixed." Talking as he moved the carriage over.

The young man was flushed red, beads of sweat covered his face. Lin Qiao hurriedly fanned him a few times.

Song Tingfan could smell the stink of sweat on himself, not wanting her to smell it, he stepped back one or two steps, "I’m not hot."

Then he carried the driver into the carriage, and Lin Qiao got into the carriage, watching Song Tingfan driving it seriously, "Little uncle, you can drive?"

"I can’t, but I’ve seen it, shouldn’t be too hard."

Song Tingfan licked his dry lips, thinking she was afraid, turned his head to reassure her again, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I won’t let you fall."

"I’m not scared."

Well, even if Lin Qiao was scared inside, she couldn’t say it out loud, couldn’t crush his manly spirit.

After spending so much time together, she realized Song Tingfan actually cared a lot about his manly pride.

Song Tingfan didn’t know what she was thinking, hearing her say she’s not scared, he giggled twice, then clapped the horse’s butt,

The carriage jolted a few times but soon stabilized.

Lin Qiao watched the youth in front through the half-open curtain, his back was straight, shoulders broad and thick, resembling a grown man.

No wonder others mistook him as her husband.

The carriage soon caught up with those walking ahead, the woman carrying the child saw them, quickly waved and shouted, "The carriage is fixed? We want to get on."

Lin Qiao wasn’t a saint, she was about to tell Song Tingfan not to stop when he clapped the horse’s rear, speeding away.

The people behind tried to catch up but couldn’t, immediately cursed aloud, "May you die childless..."

"Just hope I don’t run into you..."

Song Tingfan’s actions surprised Lin Qiao, she tentatively asked, "Why didn’t little uncle stop?"

"The rope isn’t sturdy."

Song Tingfan didn’t want to risk his sister-in-law’s safety; if he fell it was fine, but not her.

Besides, those people earlier hadn’t lent a hand, if he and his sister-in-law got hurt, they surely wouldn’t care either.

The naive and kind youth began to change, no longer naïve.

At last, he was a little less overly kind, Lin Qiao felt a mother’s relief.

Upon reaching the county town, they headed straight to the pharmacy. After the doctor’s diagnosis, he said the driver had no serious issues, just fainted from the fall.

Then used medicine under his nose, the sharp smell made one nauseous.

After a while, the driver woke up remembering the carriage accident, suddenly sprang up shouting, "Where’s my carriage?"

"Outside, now that you’re awake, we’re leaving. Next time, don’t load too many people, not everyone gets lucky like this." Lin Qiao said as the driver woke up, ready to leave.

The driver saw the carriage at the door and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, that thing was his livelihood, "Thank you, you don’t owe me anything for the carriage, take it, I’ll never charge you for using a carriage in the future."

He was at least grateful, Lin Qiao shook her head, "No need, if you want to thank then thank him." She glanced at Song Tingfan while speaking.

Upon hearing, the driver immediately thanked Song Tingfan, "Thank you, little brother, you and your wife are good people with good fortune."

Lin Qiao: "..."

Well, she was used to hearing it.

Song Tingfan quickly waved his hand, stammering, "No...no...it’s, she’s my sister-in-law."

"I thought you were a couple, sorry." The driver said awkwardly.

After exchanging a few more words, Lin Qiao and Song Tingfan left the pharmacy. There were many pedestrians on the road, Song Tingfan worried his sister-in-law might get lost, stuck closely beside her, someone tried to squeeze through, but he stood firm.

A woman saw they didn’t make way, angrily walked around them, "Why stick so close in the hot weather, not giving birth!"

Song Tingfan was both angry and embarrassed, struck dumb and not knowing what to say.

Lin Qiao wanted to laugh but felt warm-hearted, worried he would tire himself out, she reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "Too many people, I’ll hold onto you."

"Okay."

Even so, Song Tingfan frequently turned his head to check if she was still by his side, afraid of losing his ’wife.’

The two maneuvered through the crowd for quite a while before arriving at Ruyi Shop; it was as bustling as always, the waiter already recognized them and immediately led them inside to find Manager Li.

Manager Li was busy and couldn’t attend to Lin Qiao, but luckily the boss was there so he led them to see the boss.
