Wang Ge's attitude was clearly perfunctory, lacking the enthusiasm he used to have, and he seemed determined to distance himself from her. Bai Yazhu's heart sank immediately.
It seems she's in a very bad situation right now...
Damn it! Who on earth is messing with her?
"Brother Wang, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. We were husband and wife before, how can you be so heartless? Besides, I'm not asking for much. Just tell people who's trying to frame me."
She also wanted him to protect her, but if the opponent was too powerful, it would be asking too much, and Brother Wang wouldn't agree. If she got angry, he wouldn't even tell her who the opponent was.
As she spoke, her expression was gentle and pitiful, but what she took out made Brother Wang feel cold all over.
Those were children's shoes, with a tiger's head embroidered on them; the embroidery was clearly of excellent quality.
When Brother Wang saw the adorable shoes, he felt no joy, but rather as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
She jumped up, snatched the shoes, and spoke again, her voice cracking, "Bai Yazhu!!!! What did you do???"
His expression was terrifying, but Bai Yazhu was not afraid at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "What's the rush? As long as you tell me, he will be fine!"
That child was the only son of the Wang family; she only traded a piece of candy for that little brat's shoes.
This was also because she was afraid that Brother Wang would get tired of her one day and stop covering for her, so she kept this as leverage for any eventuality.
As long as his children live on the farm, it's easy for her to do whatever she wants.
See, it's coming in handy now.
Brother Wang looked at her with a somber expression. Even though he knew the child should be alright at the moment, he was still filled with lingering fear.
His child was his Achilles' heel, and Bai Yazhu dared to have designs on his child; she had no choice but to retaliate...
He pulled the woman close and put his old smile back on his face. "What are you saying? You're my woman. If I mess with you, I'm messing with myself."
"You're too spoiled. This newly appointed Secretary Liu isn't someone to be easily fooled. He hates people who disrupt order and break the rules, and you've just walked right into his line of fire!"
As for the fact that she offended someone powerful, he couldn't be bothered to mention it. That woman deserves to die!
Bai Yazhu was truly furious at this moment.
"Hmph, what's it to him! I didn't cause any trouble. What else could I do to survive? Those men were all there willingly, so why are they targeting me? If they're so capable, why don't they arrest them too!"
She's so angry!
Brother Wang twitched his lips. Having illicit relationships was strictly forbidden, but it was commonplace on the farm. The higher-ups had tried to stop it before, but the same thing would always happen again soon after.
This was unavoidable; it was a distorted relationship created by the environment. After all, not everyone can endure suffering and hunger.
So, over time, the higher-ups got too lazy to care. After all, the punishment was still on the farm, so where else could they punish them?
"Alright, alright, keep it to yourself, let's talk about it after things calm down."
He just wants to get rid of her now; he needs to go back to see his child. Only when he's sure the child is alright can he feel at ease. Besides, this woman doesn't live much longer anyway...
Bai Yazhu knew he was getting impatient, so she wisely left.
Unfortunately, as soon as she returned to the house, people came and arrested her.
"Bai Yazhu, you have been having illicit relationships, bribing officers to cover up your crimes, and refusing to undergo labor reform. Please come with us."
Given her crimes, she shouldn't be doing any easy clerical work; everything she did was against regulations, and now it's time for her to face the consequences.
Before Bai Yazhu could even struggle, she was gagged and taken to the square.
