Chapter 14 Mission 2: She Needs Your Help
Chu Yian couldn't figure it out, no matter how hard he tried.
He didn't care what Xiaofu said behind his back, and returned to his yard with his head down and a gloomy face.
Chu Yian rarely looked so unhappy, and Xiaofu didn't dare to say anything.
After returning, Chu Yian went straight back to his room and locked Xiaofu outside the door.
Xiao Fu felt that her young lady's behavior today might be a little bit rebellious. Although she seemed very brave in Zhuangyuan Building, she scolded the master so much that he fainted without saying a word.
But she was a girl after all, and no matter how brave she was, she couldn't be that brave.
As for what he said to Hua, it was just empty talk.
Actually, I was still scared.
So he hurried to the kitchen and asked someone to make a bowl of calming soup.
When Chu Yian entered the room, he saw a booklet on the table for no apparent reason. He frowned, picked it up and took a look, then his mouth twitched in silence.
This... that adulterer Qin Sheng delivered the album so quickly?
Just look at a few pages and you will be amazed by the variety of characters: gentle, domineering, youthful, playful, there really is everything.
How afraid is this person that she will miss Qin Sheng?
She admitted that Qin Sheng was very popular among men, but his special interests and hobbies were not so popular among women.
If a woman gets along with him, she can at most become a sister.
Chu Yian flipped through a few pages casually and threw the booklet back on the table. He threw himself onto the bed and couldn't feel happy at all.
Even if I had the right to choose a handsome man, I wouldn't be happy at all.
All she could think about was why she was deducted three hundred taels of silver?
Chu Yian really couldn't figure it out.
She went over the entire process from beginning to end. Could it be that she hadn't maximized Hua's emotional value yet?
So that's why the system deducted her money?
Chu Yian took out the system evaluation again and read it carefully without missing a word.
My attention finally fell on the big words "Responsibilities and Obligations of the Husband System".
Chu Yian narrowed his eyes and began to think about the meaning of these words.
Finally, I couldn't help but gasp.
No, this damn system wouldn't really let her seduce those ladies, right?
She's a little girl competing with a man for a woman?
Chu Yian touched his chin and fell into deep thought, so this husband... is he really a husband in the literal sense?
It's not just about providing emotional value, but also about taking actual action.
Quite interesting.
It's just... this behavior seems a bit dangerous. You know, in her previous life, she was just flirting with a very beautiful young lady, and said a few bad words to her toad girlfriend, and then she was hit to death by that stupid guy who stepped on the accelerator in his car.
Why did she have to go back to her old job in ancient times?
Moreover, she used to be just a bit of a green tea, always playing the role of a weak and delicate beauty.
He is not a husband either.
What is a husband like?
Chu Yian tried to understand the meaning of "husband" from the men he had met.
The attempt failed. There was no man around her who was so good that she would regret not meeting him and marry him sooner.
Even if there is, it is only on the surface. Behind the scenes, he spends more money than anyone else.
A husband could never be like this.
Chu Yian thought about it over and over again but couldn't find a reference, so she simply stopped thinking about it and decided to figure it out slowly.
So he immediately changed into men's clothes, climbed over the wall and quietly slipped out of the house.
When Xiaofu came back with the calming soup, Chu Yian was nowhere to be found in the room.
Xiao Fu was very sad because her mistress went out to play without her...
After leaving the Chu family, Chu Yian wandered around the streets of Shengjing, not going to any specific place.
The system's tasks are triggered, which means you must meet someone who needs help. Tasks will not come to you if you stay in the house.
Anyway, just go to crowded places, you might meet him someday.
After walking two blocks, Chu Yian was about to continue walking forward when her head suddenly made a buzzing sound. Her eyes lit up and she stopped immediately.
The system's voice rang in her mind: [Task triggered successfully. Task 2: Please help the woman named Zhuang Younan not far ahead of you. She is very scared and needs your help.]
[Task Reward: Depends on the degree of completion, up to 1,000 taels of silver.]
One thousand taels? !
Chu Yian opened his eyes wide, trying to comfort Hua that it was only five hundred taels, but now there is actually one thousand taels to take?
I didn't expect that I could get such a great bargain just by walking around the street.
Chu Yian was extremely excited. Wouldn't that mean she would soon become a rich woman with a thousand taels of silver in her pocket?
Her eyes suddenly became sharp and she looked forward suddenly.
I saw a group of people gathered not far ahead, making a lot of noise, and I had no idea what they were looking at.
And the target person of her thousand taels of silver is right there!
Chu Yian immediately stepped forward and squeezed into the crowd, and saw a short man wearing coarse linen clothes and with shifty eyes holding a young girl's hand and dragging her out of the city.
The man looked to be at least forty years old, but the girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a beautiful green skirt.
The man pulled the young girl while cursing: "Damn it, your parents have already sold you to me, you are my wife."
"Why are you running around all day instead of serving me properly? Do you despise me because I'm poor and incompetent?"
"I'm telling you, no matter how poor or incompetent I am, I'm still your man!"
"Your parents have already sold you to me, so even if you die, you are still a member of my Chen family."
"You want to get rid of me and live a comfortable life as a concubine in a wealthy family? Don't even think about it!"
Hearing the man's words, the young girl struggled hard and shook her head. Her big watery eyes were full of fear and tears kept falling.
She pleaded with the onlookers as if trying to prove something: "I am not, my parents did not sell me, and he is not my man."
"Please, please help me, he's really not my man, I have nothing to do with him..."
“Bang!”
Before the young girl could finish her words, the man turned around and slapped her hard, pointing at her nose and angrily cursing, "Bitch, I think you've been in the city for two days and you've forgotten even your last name."
"You stole my money and ran away. If someone hadn't told me they saw you in the city, I wouldn't know where you ran off to."
"I didn't even bother with you about stealing money, and you actually said I'm not your man?"
"Come on, come home with me now. I want to ask your parents how they raised their daughter to raise such a cruel person like you."
After saying that, he grabbed the girl and was about to leave.
The girl struggled hard, but she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and judging from the clothes she was wearing, she didn't look like someone who had much strength, so she couldn't break free at all.
Seeing that the girl was about to be dragged away by the man, no one stepped forward to stop him. Instead, the onlookers talked a lot and scolded the girl for being immoral, saying that she should live a good life after getting married.
They also said that people like this in their village would be put into pig cages.
He ignored the young girl's pleas, as if she had really done something like abandoning her husband and children.
Chu Yian didn't care what the onlookers were talking about, and looked at the old man with fiery eyes!
This man! This damn man! What was he doing with her one thousand taels?
And this is such an obvious trick, are these people crazy? They can't even see it?
Seeing that the man was about to leave with his men, Chu Yian didn't dare to think about what would happen to the girl if she was taken away.
It seems that she has a good family background and is still young. Why should she serve an old man who has started to lose his teeth?
And once she is taken away by this man, even if nothing happens, the girl's innocence will be ruined.
In this era, everyone regards a woman's chastity as more important than her life. Even if this girl is rescued, she will be criticized for the rest of her life. If she becomes unable to bear it one day, she might commit suicide.
Unforgivable!
Unacceptable!
Chu Yian was furious. When the man was about to leave with the girl, he rushed through the crowd without thinking, grabbed the man's hand that was holding the girl and tried to pull the girl behind him.
But she was only 15 years old, and had been raised by others. How could she be that strong? How could she compare to farmers who worked all year round?
But this does not affect Chu Yian's performance at all.
She grabbed the girl's hand and didn't give the man time to react. She yelled at him, "What are you doing? Who are you? What are you going to do to my sister?"
"You old beast with shifty eyes and a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Why would my parents sell my sister to someone like you?"
"And what makes you think you can afford my sister? My sister's random piece of clothing can buy your life, and you still dare to speak so shamelessly?"
"I'm warning you to let go immediately, or I'll report you to the police. With my connections, I can make you walk in horizontally or vertically and walk out horizontally. Do you believe me?"
