Han Juhua didn't dare to fight back; she was no match for Liu Dajiao.
Now Yan Gang has the final say in everything in the village. Although she is not the village head, she does the work of one.
Han Xiaochuan knew that Yan Gang might not help him, but he had no choice but to go to Yan Gang's house to talk to him.
"Han Xiaochuan, I can't help you with this! Everyone in the village knows your family's situation. Liu Dajiao does all the farming and housework by herself. If it weren't for Liu Dajiao, you would have starved to death long ago! You two broke up, and she took the grain. Nobody can say anything about that!"
Yan Gang ignored him, but Han Xiaochuan grew anxious: "Yan Gang, I know I'm not very strong and I don't do much farm work. But that woman can't have everything. Now she's taken all the edible things. How are Juhua and I supposed to survive?"
"Besides, even if Chrysanthemum did bad things in the past, she is still your niece. Can you bear to watch her starve to death?"
Han Xiaochuan was very anxious.
He never expected that the first problem after driving Liu Dajiao away would be having no food to eat.
“We have nothing to do with Chrysanthemum anymore. Even if you are with her, don’t even think about getting involved with us.”
Yan Gang's face darkened: "What you eat is none of my business. You'd better go back now. I don't have a very good temper either, and you don't want me to get rough with you, do you?"
Han Xiaochuan chickened out again. He was no match for Yan Gang, and he dared not lay a hand on him.
Han Xiaochuan returned home in a huff, with Han Juhua following behind him, looking aggrieved.
"Brother Xiaochuan, what should we do now? There's nothing to eat, I..."
With a loud slap, as soon as Han Juhua finished speaking, a slap landed on her: "You shameless woman, all you know is eating! Go out and get me some food!"
Han Juhua touched her face, which had been slapped again. She thought she was living a good life with Han Xiaochuan, but... it seemed to be a little different from what she had imagined.
...
"I will take responsibility for you!" After a passionate encounter, Zhou Jun finally felt the burning desire in his body subside as the sun set.
She didn't know what kind of medicine Mu Yurou had given her, but the medicine was just too strong.
She simply couldn't control herself.
Then look at the woman lying on the bed, curled up, her body covered in bruises, a shocking sight!
Zhou Jun felt deeply guilty and carefully helped her pull the blanket up.
"Wang Yan, I'm sorry!"
Wang Yan did not open her eyes; she remained with her back to Zhou Jun.
"Don't worry, I'll come to your house to propose marriage as soon as possible!"
Zhou Jun gave Wang Yan a deep look, his tone sincere.
Tears welled in Wang Yan's eyes; she was finally going to marry this man, albeit in such an unexpected way.
She got what she wanted, but why did she feel a little awkward?
"You rest for a bit, I'm going out to buy something!"
After Zhou Jun finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. He had suffered such a great loss today, and he never intended to let it go.
Zhou Jun went directly to the neighboring courtyard.
...
When Mu Yurou and Xiaoqing were taken away, they were very worried, thinking that Zhou Jie and the others would not let them go easily.
But to her surprise, she was only detained for a short while before being released! The two hurriedly returned home.
Xiaoqing looked worried: "Miss, what should we do now?"
Although they were released, Zhou Jie's words still echoed in their ears. If the Zhou family were to retaliate, the two weak women would have no way to resist.
"What's your rush!" Mu Yurou was also very scared at first, but after they were released, she calmed down a lot.
When a person is too panicked, they will actually become calmer!
Mu Yurou's mind raced: "The fact that they released us means they won't pursue the matter! But what about Young Master Zhou..."
She turned to Xiaoqing and said, "Xiaoqing, you have to take the blame for me no matter what, you know? I promise you, I won't take your life. After this is over, I'll let you go home and prepare a dowry for you!"
Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment. After arriving in the capital, she learned what kind of family the Zhou family was.
Even the Mu family, to which their young lady belongs, is nothing compared to the Zhou family.
Can they really get away unscathed after offending such people?
If the young lady pushes herself out, will it cost her her life?
Xiaoqing was not entirely reassured; she felt that the young lady was trying to fool her!
"Miss, this servant..."
Xiaoqing wasn't stupid; she had a vague unease in her heart, a feeling that if she admitted it, something terrible might happen.
For example, one might feel that life would be worse than death.
For example, you might get beaten to death.
She's not a slave; she just wants to make money, not risk her life.
"Xiaoqing, when have I ever mistreated you?"
"Trust me, I will definitely save you!"
"If you don't listen to me, and I get dragged back to marry that old man, I won't mind sending you to his bed first!"
Xiaoqing...
The thought that the old man was older than her grandfather made her feel inexplicably nauseous!
"I……"
"Listen to me, after this is over, I'll give you a dowry of one hundred taels of silver!"
Xiaoqing's eyes widened in disbelief. One hundred taels of silver was no small sum; she could never earn that much money in her entire life.
"Miss, but you must remember your promise to me: to save my life."
Seeing that the girl had finally agreed, Mu Yurou was relieved!
What is a hundred taels of silver to this fool?
How utterly foolish! They agreed to take the blame for such a paltry sum.
However, once the medicine issue was resolved, Mu Yurou felt relieved.
Although Han Luoxue and the others didn't pursue the matter, she still had to pretend to be a victim with Zhou Jun.
But... the thought that Zhou Jun might have already had a relationship with Wang Yan caused Mu Yurou immense heartache. He was the man she had set her sights on, and her only hope.
Her father will probably find out she's in the capital soon, and he might already be on his way there.
If she were caught and taken back, Mu Yurou would rather die.
"Miss, do you think the Zhou family will really let us go?"
Although Xiaoqing had decided to take responsibility for her young mistress, she was still a little uneasy. She was afraid of dying!
Don't worry, nothing will happen!
"Mu Yurou!" Hearing Zhou Jun's voice outside the courtyard, Mu Yurou trembled in fright. Fortunately, she had locked the gate, otherwise, if Zhou Jun had come in directly, she wouldn't know how to face him.
"Young Master Zhou, I'm a little tired today. I'll treat you another day."
Mu Yurou dared not go out now, for fear that Zhou Jun would beat her to death.
Zhou Jun is angry right now, so she needs to hide for a few days until his anger subsides. Then she can come out and apologize, push the culprit out, and she'll still be the same weak and vulnerable little thing she was.
"Mu Yurou, you'd better open the door for me!"
