Chapter 6: The Little Village Girl of the 1970s

Yao Yunzhen was so shocked that she stared wide-eyed.

What is he saying?

Are they that close? Why are they saying they're together?

She was too inexperienced; this was the first time she had met someone like this, and she was a little taken aback.

In Li Yunqi's eyes, this appearance was simply too delightful.

He proudly raised his chin.

"Of course I'm good to you, but you have to be sensible and not take advantage of my kindness to do whatever you want. You also have to act like a proper woman."

Li Yunqi felt that the Yao family spoiled her too much, and she didn't act like a proper woman at all.

She liked him but never showed any remorse, always eating alone.

That's so inconsiderate!

These good things are never for women; they're all for the men in the family.

So he decided to give her a good talking-to and make her realize her place.

This was the first time Yao Yunzhen had ever heard such disgusting and offensive words come out of a person's mouth.

What disgusting remarks! They're suffocating her!

Yao Yunzhen looked around but didn't see a single person.

It was work time, and everyone had gone to work. Even the children had the task of cutting pig feed and digging wild vegetables. Apart from village vagrants like her, no one was wandering around outside.

Yao Yunzhen planned to leave first and then find someone to deal with him later.

However, she was unhappy, so her tone wasn't very friendly.

"Get out of the way, a good dog doesn't block the way."

Li Yunqi was still talking eloquently when he suddenly heard Yao Yunzhen's words. He was a little taken aback and thought he had misheard.

"What did you say?"

"I said, a good dog doesn't block the way, get out of my way!"

Yao Yunzhen repeated each word carefully, her eyes filled with disgust.

Li Yunqi frowned and warned, "Even if you're being willful, there's a limit. If you keep this up, I'm going to get angry."

The Yao family really doesn't know how to raise their daughter. She's timid and can't stand up to anyone, and they even use the fact that he hugged someone as leverage to force her to marry him.

Even though he was the one who saved the other person, the other person still tried to blackmail him. Although he didn't intentionally go into the water to save the person, he accidentally slipped and fell in. There were people watching nearby, so he had no choice but to pull the person out.

But he did save people after all, and the Yao family not only didn't thank him, they actually repaid kindness with enmity.

The other one is so dull-witted that he can't even express shyness, and is so vulgar.

Yao Yunzhen originally didn't want to get entangled with him any longer, but she couldn't help herself at this moment.

Unable to hold back her anger any longer, Yao Yunzhen started cursing.

"Who do you think you are, still angry? Angry at your father? Take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror. Look at your toad-like appearance, do you think you're good enough for me? You dare to say you want to be with me? Do you think you're so great or that you can live off a woman? Get out of here!"

Spoiled by his parents and pampered by his sisters since childhood, Li Yunqi had never been scolded like this before, especially by a woman he looked down upon.

The insults were so harsh that Li Yunqi, with his exceptionally strong sense of self-respect, could hardly bear it.

In that instant, he was blinded by rage and, without thinking, raised his hand and slapped her.

"You filthy woman, you ugly monster, I'm only speaking to you out of respect, and you actually tell me to get lost?"

That damn bitch needs to be taught a lesson so she'll know her place, or she'll start getting all over him.

Yao Yunzhen was prepared when the scolding started. She had been well-fed since childhood, had excellent health, and naturally reacted quickly.

Seeing this, she dodged the attack by shifting her body, then raised her right leg and kicked out hard.

It hits the bullseye.

"ah--"

Li Yunqi screamed and knelt down, clutching his hands.

Yao Yunzhen pressed her advantage, kicking Li Yunqi in the side of the face, knocking him down into the nearby weeds. Before he could get up, she quickly ran away.

No matter how good her body was, her strength was still limited and she couldn't compare to a grown man. She was only able to defeat him because she caught him off guard. She couldn't linger any longer; if he recovered, she would definitely not gain the upper hand.

Yao Yunzhen ran home quickly, leaving Li Yunqi's insults far behind.

As soon as she ran into the yard, she heard a questioning voice: "Zhenzhen, why are you running?"

Yao Yun looked up and saw Yao Sheng walking towards her with a concerned expression. She was immediately delighted and exclaimed:

"Dad, you're back?"

Yes, today is her dad's day off.

Her father and second uncle have one day off each week, and they always come home on that day.

Yao Sheng nodded, but then continued to press for an answer:

"Zhenzhen, why were you running so fast just now? Did someone bully you?"

This daughter, whom he had after several years of marriage, was his precious darling. He had always spoiled and pampered her, and he could never love her enough.

Upon seeing Yao Sheng, Yao Yunzhen felt much more at ease, realizing she had a powerful backer. She pouted her rosy lips and began to complain.

"Dad, someone is bullying me."

Yao Sheng was immediately enraged. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a muscular arm.

"Who? Who bullied you? Tell Dad, and Dad will go teach him a lesson!"

We should seek revenge as soon as possible, and now that we have help, what are we hesitating for?

Yao Yunzhen waved her fair fist: "That educated youth named Li Yunqi actually said he wanted to marry me and that I should listen to him in everything. Not only that, he also cursed at me and tried to hit me. If I hadn't run away quickly, I probably would have been beaten. Dad, please help me get revenge and give him a good beating."

"What?! He actually dared to say such a thing to you?! And he even wanted to attack?!"

Yao Sheng was even angrier. He raised his foot to rush out, but stopped abruptly. He turned around and walked towards the second room, banging on the door and saying, "Second brother, come out quickly."

The loud knocking woke Yao Hai up, and he came out of his room yawning.

"Big brother, what's the matter?"

“Your niece was bullied by an educated youth. Come with me and teach him a lesson.”

Because the educated youth were outsiders, they were quite united when facing the villagers. Yao Sheng was afraid that he couldn't fight alone, so he thought of calling for help.

How could anyone have the heart to bully his niece, who is as beautiful as an angel?

Yao Hai was a little surprised, but he agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, sure."

He wasn't very good to his own daughters, always shirking his responsibilities, but he treated his niece quite well.

In his mind, this niece was extraordinary from birth. Despite eating the same simple food, she was so beautiful. Perhaps, just as his mother said, she was a fairy reincarnated.

He believed that no man could resist his niece.

Once she marries into the capital, the Yao family will prosper.

Therefore, Yao Hai always thought highly of Yao Yunzhen, treated her very well, and would occasionally give her some pocket money or snacks. He was also willing to help her when needed.

"Come on, let's wait for Dad to call a few more people and give those who bullied you a good beating."

Yao Yunzhen quickly stopped her father: "No need, Dad, no need. Only one person bullied me. The other educated youths weren't there. They probably didn't know anything about it."

There's only one Li Yunqi, why would we need so many people? Besides, Yao Yunzhen doesn't want to make a big fuss about it.

Not to mention that if the villagers and the educated youth got into a fight, it would make things difficult for the brigade leader and cause him trouble. Li Yunqi and Yao Kemei are still the talk of the village.

If Li Yunqi's words were to get out, Yao Yunzhen could imagine that the rumors circulating in the village would be even more unpleasant.

Sisters fighting over one husband, urban educated youth cheating on each other, twin beauties...

Yao Yunzhen didn't want to get involved with these two people, or have her name appear in the mouths of gossipy relatives along with the other two; it was disgusting.
