Chapter 252 The Foolish Village
After Leng Ye left, I was the only one living in this small courtyard.
In this strange place, Shen Weiyang felt a little scared, so she locked the door early, washed up and prepared to go to bed. She also moved a large wardrobe to the door, so that she would feel much more at ease.
But when she was about to go to bed, a man knocked on the door: "Is Teacher Shen here?"
She was about to close her eyes, but after hearing the voice, she opened her eyes nervously and didn't dare to speak.
But the rapid knocking on the door outside did not stop: "Is Teacher Shen here? Is Teacher Shen home? Can you open the door?"
The rapid and tense knocks on the door seemed particularly terrifying in the silent night, and coupled with the voice of a strange man, Shen Weiyang clutched the quilt in fear.
She was a girl living alone in such a poor and backward place. When a strange man knocked on her door late at night, she had no idea what to do.
"Teacher Shen, someone delivered textbooks to the village entrance today. I'll help my dad pass the textbook list to you."
Someone from the Leng family did come today. The village chief asked him to come over, so he should be fine.
Shen Weiyang felt a little more at ease, then she got out of bed and opened the door.
But as soon as he opened the door, he was pressed against the wall by the man.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
Shen Weiyang's pupils constricted, and all the pores on her body tightened nervously in an instant. She suddenly pushed the man away from her.
In the dim light of the front room, she could see clearly that the man was the owner of the richest family in the village, named Ham. The tables and chairs in the yard were made on credit from the carpenter with his help.
But now, what does he mean by this?
"What's wrong with you? Are you drunk?"
When Ham was still trying to pull off his shirt and pounce on her, she slapped him in the face and said angrily.
Ham was even more excited after being beaten. He looked her up and down in a vulgar and obscene manner: "Very hot, were you also this hot when you served those young masters?"
"Those young masters looked decent, but they were actually rotten inside. Even a woman wouldn't obey them."
"What are you talking about?"
Shen Weiyang frowned in disgust, picked up the dagger that Leng Ye had just given her from the table beside her, and pointed it at Ham angrily.
"Get out of here now, and I won't bother with you about what happened tonight!"
"You bitch are quite aggressive," Ham stepped forward and kicked her against the wall, his face twisted with excitement and tinged with contempt. "You only served the young master for a few days, and you really think you're a human being. Now that the young master is gone and doesn't want you anymore, it's your good fortune that I'm willing to keep you."
He snatched the dagger from Shen Weiyang’s hand and threw it aside, then slapped her in the face.
"Such an expensive dagger was given to you by those young masters? You are only worth this much."
"Get out of here! Aren't you afraid your wife will be upset by treating me like this?"
Shen Weiyang struggled to shake off his dirty hand that was about to touch her.
Looking at the man with a distorted face in front of her, she felt that he was even more terrifying than the wild boar and poisonous snake she encountered that night.
"Wife? Are you talking about that yellow-faced woman in my family? She's just an old donkey in my family who works hard and never complains. Why should I care about her when I do anything?"
He pinned her to the ground with one hand and tore her clothes with the other. The beast in his eyes shone even brighter: "Mashiro, you're worthy of being a girl from a big city. You're really so tender that you can squeeze out water——!"
When he was about to attack, Shen Weiyang bit his wrist, then pushed him away, picked up the dagger on the ground and ran out.
"Help, is there anyone? Is there anyone?!"
She ran while trying to call for help.
"Aunt Nina, please open the door and help me, Ham is trying to bully me!"
She ran to Aunt Nina's house, who was closest to her, and knocked on the door desperately, wanting Nina to come out and save her.
But she almost clapped her hands until they were broken, because no one responded to the loud noise.
That could only mean that Nina didn't want to help her at all.
Shen Weiyang's heart went cold, and seeing that Ham was about to catch up, she immediately ran towards the village chief's house.
Aunt Nina might be afraid of offending Ham, so she could just go find the village chief, whose house is not far away.
"Stop right there, you bitch! I'm going to kill you today!"
Ham was chasing after him, and Shen Weiyang ran forward desperately with weak legs.
“Village chief! Uncle Hana, open the door! I’m Shen Weiyang, please help me, Ham is drunk and wants to bully me!”
Ham also rushed into the village chief's yard and knocked on the door desperately.
As long as the village chief opened the door, Ham would never dare to do anything to her again.
This matter must be resolved tonight, otherwise she will be in a worse situation in the next few days.
But the situation at the village chief's house was the same as that at Aunt Nina's house. No matter how she knocked or shouted, there was no response from inside.
"Why don't you scream?"
Ham pulled her off the door panel by her hair, sneering at her with satisfaction.
"Old man Hana won't care about you. He'd rather take you and make you stay here teaching those little brats!"
Is the village chief afraid that she will leave here like Leng Ye, so he wants to keep her in this way?
Shen Weiyang's scalp tingled and her whole body felt cold. She had never understood what indifference and cruelty meant like she did now.
She has no obligation to teach the children here, nor does she have any obligation to give up her opportunity to further her studies and stay here for the rest of her life.
Yes, some people are morally noble and are willing to stay in such a wild place for their whole lives and burn their lives, but she can't do that. She is not that great.
Her dream is to become a top designer and see her works shine under the spotlight, rather than gathering dust in a place where no one cares about them.
"Get away, don't touch me-!"
When Ham came up again, Shen Weiyang's eyes were red, and he thrust the dagger in his hand into Ham's chest without hesitation.
When Ham fell, his eyes were dazed, and he could hardly believe that this woman really dared to do that.
When he was about to fall on her, she kicked him away in disgust and told him to fall to the side.
The most terrifying time has passed, and now she is cold-blooded and without any emotion.
The door was opened, and she looked at the dull old man in front of her with a deep gaze, revealing a pale ghost-like smile: "He deserves it, you all deserve it--"
She raised her hand and was about to stab the dagger stained with Ham's blood into the village chief, but at the critical moment, a little girl's voice came from inside: "Teacher Weiyang is being bullied outside. Mom, why don't you let me go out? I want to save Teacher Weiyang!"
The dagger fell to the ground, but in the end she did not vent all her humiliation and hatred on the village chief.
"Children are indeed adorable, so do you think that if I have a child from your side, I can be trapped here for the rest of my life and contribute to your ignorant and barbaric society?"
