Chapter 141 Good Wife and Mother
Shen Wantang's face was pale and blue, and she looked a little embarrassed. She couldn't help but glare at Shen Zhuyi, but the power she could feel on her face became stronger.
"Don't think that just because you're here, I can't get rid of you. At the beach...if you accidentally fall into the sea, your body will be washed away. When someone finds you, who will be able to identify your body?"
Chen Zhu warned with a smile, and his tone was clearly quite calm, yet he said such a horrifying thing.
In an instant, Shen Wantang felt goosebumps all over her body, and she just wished she could escape immediately.
"You and I are sisters after all. I will make sure your funeral is decent."
After saying this with a smile, Chen Zhu waved his hand and left.
She just hoped that Chen Wantang could grow some brains and stop following her around all day and causing trouble.
"You!" Shen Wantang pointed at Shen Zhuyi's back and spoke with gritted teeth, then looked around, fearing that something would suddenly break out. She thought about it and trotted back to the Youth League compound.
For some reason, the Youth League compound was extremely quiet today, and one could almost feel the quiet footsteps of people around.
They shouldn't be so quiet.
Chen Wantang pondered, with a hint of caution in his dark eyes, and took the initiative to walk towards the place where Niu Chenggong and the others were resting to take a look. The male educated youth were gathered together, and it was unknown what they were discussing.
"What are you doing sneaking around?" Niu Chenggong noticed Shen Wantang peeking out of his mind and warned him coldly.
All the discussions stopped abruptly, and several eyes fell on Shen Wantang, seemingly with a hint of greed.
"I... just wanted to see if everyone was hungry. It's almost time to cook." Chen Wantang laughed dryly and explained reluctantly. He stood still with a forced smile in his eyes.
"Let's put the meal aside for now. Chen Wantang, you won't be here long. Have you ever thought about staying here forever?" Niu Chenggong waved his hand and said this lightly after looking at the people around him.
The slightly serious and low voice made Shen Wantang's heart tighten. She smiled and shook her head, having a bad premonition: "I'm actually married at home. I came here this time because I wanted to take refuge with my sister, but I didn't expect..."
She spoke incoherently, and her words portrayed herself as a very pitiful character.
Niu Chenggong narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but click his tongue.
The noise wasn't loud, but the pressure it conveyed made Shen Wantang a little more nervous.
"It would be better if we get married. We are considering buying a TV. Since you took the initiative to bring it up, why don't you pay a little more and we buy the tickets? How about that?" Dong Wencai also had a smiling face and spoke frankly.
The Zhao family is penniless. Shen Wantang came here because she didn't want to live a hard life. How could she afford the money?
"Stop joking. I didn't prepare anything when I came here. Asking for money at this time is no different from asking for my life." Chen Wantang explained with a dry laugh, trying his best not to be caught in any mistakes.
But this show of resistance still made Niu Chenggong and others look a little unhappy. He slammed the enamel teacup he had been holding on the table heavily. The force made people feel a little cold in their hearts.
"I always like obedient people. Chen Wantang, have you forgotten how you got in?" Niu Chenggong warned again, and the coldness in his black eyes was revealed bluntly.
These grown men also discussed it together before deciding to find a good way out.
Just as Shen Wantang said, they couldn't just keep working in the fields and wait for jobs to be assigned from above. Of course, they also had to try to do some speculation and profiteering. After all, those foreigners had a lot of good goods coming through this port.
If they bought a TV, everyone could learn English and communicate fluently with the devils sooner, but no one was willing to pay.
They want a TV, they are all trying to escape. A TV costs dozens of dollars, who has so much hard cash to spend on such a thing?
The looks from Niu Chenggong and the others added a hint of warning, making Shen Wantang's scalp tingle. She grinned bitterly, her heart in a mess: "I don't have any money either. I really have nothing."
She had already spent a lot of her savings just to find out where Chen Zhuyi was.
They took the train and then the boat. Chen Wantang was picky about food. She had forced herself to be able to survive here during this period.
"A beautiful girl is a kind of wealth in itself. With your beauty, you will succeed in everything you do." Dong Wencai touched her face with a smile.
Some frivolous actions made Shen Wantang's heart tremble. She understood the implied meaning of these men, but it was even more impossible for her to accept it.
Let her contribute her body for these men to spend money?
If she could really give up her face, she would have succeeded long ago. Now she comes here, isn't it just because she wants to eat for free?
"I really can't do it." Shen Wantang's voice trembled, and he closed his eyes in resistance.
The gentle caress turned into a ruthless slap on her face, leaving Shen Wantang with a bloody taste in her mouth, and her tears immediately fell.
"If you can't do it, then wait for death. A woman who is unwanted has very little value in itself. You don't really think that what you have done... can offset the cost of your food during this period, right?"
Niu Chenggong sighed. He was a little more honest than Dong Wencai, but the sinister threat in his words made people shudder.
At worst, everyone would stop providing food for Shen Wantang. If she wanted to survive, she would have no choice but to go out and beg for mercy. If she bowed her head now, her life would actually be a little better, wouldn't it?
This cold tone made Shen Wantang's tears flow unrestrainedly. She shook her head silently in resistance, but her face looked a little ugly.
"Then try it first. You get what you work for. If you dare to touch our food, I will beat you to death sooner or later." Dong Wencai snorted and threw Shen Wantang out.
For these men, the value of women is already very limited, and if they have to be useful to them, it further limits their scope.
Chen Wantang is not a good wife and mother, and the food she cooks is not very tasty. Apart from relying on others and causing trouble, she has no life of her own.
For the next few days, they seemed to be at a stalemate.
Chen Zhuyi had been seeing the ghostly figure near her yard for several days. She raised an eyebrow, and Zhou Siwei quickly told her what he had heard: "There's a conflict between the male and female educated youth, and the men won't give her food!"
