Yun Duo planned to make the pole a little longer so she could stand a bit further from the water and drag the stunned wild duck over. But it couldn't be too long, because without a rope, Yun Duo was afraid she wouldn't be able to tie it properly and would end up dropping the net. Therefore, she only broke off a branch of Vitex negundo, about a meter long and as thick as an adult's thumb, to tie the net pole. She also specially selected long and soft grass stems to weave, and then bent down and carefully tied the Vitex negundo branch she had just broken off to the net pole.
Neither Yunduo nor Xiaojiu expected that while Yunduo was bending down to tie the thorn stick and net pole, a pair of red, swollen eyes filled with endless resentment were staring intently at her.
That person was Yang Erwa's older sister, Yang Damei—Yang Li. She was also the woman who almost ended up in the Yun family as Yun Shuisheng's wife.
In that marriage exchange scandal, no matter who looked at it, Yun Duo undeniably benefited. Not only did she escape her heartless biological parents and live with her loving grandparents, but she also prospered. The news that Yun Dazheng's family had become wealthy by beekeeping and selling royal jelly to Leopard had already spread throughout several nearby villages. Naturally, it also reached the ears of Yangjia Village and Yang Li.
Yang Li, who was also a 'victim' of that marriage exchange scandal, had an extremely difficult time compared to Yun Duo.
Although her parents didn't pamper her as much as Yang Erwa, she was still considered quite good compared to other girls in the village. At least she wasn't treated like a beast of burden, forced to do heavy labor, constantly beaten or scolded, or left to go hungry.
But! Ever since the marriage exchange failed, Yang Youfu was fined a large sum of money and lost his position as village chief, Yang Li's good days were over!
Yang Erwa cried, made a scene, and demanded a wife all day long, causing chaos in the house. Yang Youfu's temper also worsened day by day. Unable to vent his anger on his mentally challenged son, he could only take it out on her and Jiang Lanying. In recent months, she had been beaten and scolded at home, which had become a daily occurrence, and her chores had become many times heavier than before!
She could grit her teeth and endure it all.
But……
She overheard her parents talking a few days ago and learned that her father was going to marry an older man who wasn't much younger than him! The worst part was that the older man had an extremely violent temper and had beaten two of his wives to death... Who knew if she would become the third one to be beaten to death after marrying him?
Her mother couldn't bear it and said something in her defense, but her father kicked her off the bed. She saw it all clearly through a crack in the wall, and her mother couldn't get up for a long time.
She wanted to run, but she didn't have a penny and couldn't go far. Begging her mother was useless; her mother just cried and tried to comfort her, saying that men these days are older and more mature, and they certainly wouldn't beat their wives anymore, otherwise they would never find a wife and would be lifelong bachelors, so she shouldn't be afraid.
How could she not be afraid?!
She was absolutely terrified!
But there was nothing she could do. She could only secretly hide in this deserted Crescent Bay and cry.
But then... she heard a noise coming from the river. She was initially scared, fearing it was the work of a 'water ghost' in the river. If it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight, she definitely wouldn't have dared to look in the direction of the noise.
As it turned out, she only had to glance at him once before recognizing the person throwing mud into the river as the culprit who had 'harmed' her into this state! Clouds!!!
How could she not hate?
She practically wanted to push the cloud into the river and drown it!
Anyway, there are water ghosts here who come to claim lives...
Thinking of this, a fierce glint appeared in Yang Damei's eyes.
