At this moment, Yang Wan was still lying on the pile of straw, covered with the tattered blanket, her gaze fixed on the direction of the door, hoping that the old lady would return soon.

Before leaving, the old lady asked the neighbor who was looking after her to have an emergency at home, as she had just rushed back to take care of her grandson.

The courtyard was quiet. Yang Wan was already feeling a bit tired, and as she looked around, she felt dizzy and started to feel sleepy.

She was completely unaware that danger was approaching.

Having learned their lesson from last time, Gu Fujin, Chen Youyu, and Yu Qingchun didn't dare to climb the wall directly this time. Instead, they first circled around Old Lady Yao's house from front to back.

After confirming that no one was guarding the place, the three of them felt safe and boldly pushed open the door and went inside.

Yang Wan had already fallen asleep, her eyes closed, and her once smooth and delicate skin was covered with many tiny wounds.

Perhaps due to his limited mobility, his face was covered in dust.

Even so, her beautiful features were still ethereal, like a pearl covered in dust, yet still possessing a hazy beauty.

Gu Fujin and Chen Youyu looked at it with increasing drooling.

"Why isn't this woman reacting? Is she sleeping in broad daylight?"

"It's so boring when you're asleep, it's much more fun when you're awake. I love seeing beautiful women panic and get scared, that's really exciting!"

Chen Youyu and Gu Fujin clearly shared the same idea. The two were birds of a feather, and without prior arrangement, they rubbed their hands together, deliberately making some noise, trying to put some pressure on Yang Wan and make her wake up quickly so that she could have some fun with them.

Yu Qingchun hesitated for a moment.

"Maybe we shouldn't wake her up? After all, she's not from our village; she's from out of town, and she looks like a city person. Her clothes and appearance are different from ours. She might even have some connections..."

"I think we should just do it secretly. She's sick now anyway, so even if she says something, we can just say she's just talking nonsense because she's sick, and it doesn't count."

Gu Fujin and Chen Youyu gave him an amused look.

"Look at you, so cowardly! She's just a woman, and now she's stranded here. What can she do to us?"

"This woman is different from the others in our village. Just playing around isn't enough. We should take her home as our wife and be with her every day for real fun!"

The two men exchanged lewd smiles as they spoke.

Yu Qingchun thought about it for a moment and felt that it made some sense, so he didn't say anything more, only whispered a reminder.

"You two must be very careful. City people eat well, so they're definitely stronger than us. If you accidentally wake her up, you'll have to find a way to subdue her and prevent her from struggling and escaping!"

Gu Fujin and Chen Youyu waved their hands impatiently.

"Okay, okay, stop rambling on."

The three of them talked as they pushed open the door, their eyes shining as they approached.

Suddenly, the person in front of them sat up, his back against the wall behind him, and raised a sharp blade that gleamed coldly, glaring dangerously at the three people in front of him.

"Stop right there! Take one more step forward, or I'll make you regret it!"

The knife in Yang Wan's hand was given to her by Old Lady Yao.

He said that he often had to go out to work and was not at home, so he was worried about Yang Wan being alone at home and that the old bachelor might climb over the wall and break into the yard before he left. Therefore, he specially found this kitchen knife for Yang Wan to defend herself.

Yang Wan appeared to be sleeping soundly, but having worked in the underground for many years, she was still quite alert.

She had actually heard the three men climbing into the yard, but she didn't want to alert them. Instead, she quietly reached under her pillow and gripped the handle of the kitchen knife, just in case.

I never expected these three to be so bold; they really wanted to do something bad to her.

Yang Wan forced herself to stay upright, struggling to maintain her composure, and glared angrily, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

Gu Fujin and Chen Youyu immediately stopped laughing.

"Who...who are you trying to scare with that kitchen knife? Do you even know how to use a knife?!"

They spoke arrogantly, but in reality, neither of them dared to get close to Yang Wan.

Needless to say, Yu Qingchun immediately shrank back as soon as Yang Wan brandished the kitchen knife, and didn't dare to utter a sound for a long time.

Chen Youyu couldn't help but mutter curses under her breath.

"Damn it, that cleaver must have been given to her by that mute old woman again!"

"That old hag is too meddlesome. Why does she care so much? She's not even our daughter. She keeps ruining our plans. She's such a jerk!"

"Gu Fujin, what do we do now?"

Gu Fujin was also very annoyed. He frowned and tried to think of a solution while glancing at Yang Wan out of the corner of his eye.

Just as the three of them were still trying to figure it out, a noise suddenly came from outside the door.

Yu Qingchun glanced back and immediately gasped.

"Run! That old hag is back!"

Before Gu Fujin and Chen Youyu could react, Old Lady Yao had already seen the situation inside the room. Without saying a word, she grabbed the broom leaning against the wall by the door and lashed it at the three of them.

The old woman couldn't speak, but her movements were sharper and more ruthless than ever before.

Gu Fujin was caught off guard and was hit on the head. It felt like a rake had scraped his head hard, and his scalp was burning.

He yelled "Aww!" and covered his head as he ran away.

The more he ran, the more the old woman chased, hitting him as she went.

The three of them were still unwilling to give up. Although they were running, they didn't run outside. Instead, they circled around in the courtyard, constantly looking in Yang Wan's direction.

Yang Wan nervously observed the room for a long time, then noticed something was wrong and quickly spoke up to warn others.

"Aunt Yao, these people are trying to wear you down. Don't get entangled with them, quickly find someone to help you... cough cough cough!"

Yang Wan was too exhausted and began to cough violently after only a few words.

Grandma Yao was someone who listened to advice, so she put down the broom and went to call for help.

The three of them panicked and rushed to the door to block it, preventing Grandma Yao from leaving.

Although the old lady was holding a broom, the three men were strong and healthy, younger and more agile than her.

The three of them attacked together, and Grandma Yao was struggling to keep up. She tried to break through several times but failed, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Yang Wan coughed while clutching her chest, and shouted desperately.

"Help! Sister Sun! Aunt Liu, come quick!"

She shouted intermittently for a long time. Seeing that the situation was not right, Gu Fujin immediately signaled Yu Qingchun to come into the house and shut Yang Wan up.

Things had come to this point, and even if Yu Qingchun was timid, he had no choice but to do it. He frowned and rushed into the house, heading towards Yang Wan in one go.

Yang Wan continued to shout for help while brandishing her knife to defend herself.

Yu Qingchun circled around Yang Wan, but couldn't get close to her. Just as he was getting anxious, he saw a bowl of water on the table next to her.
