Qiu Jiadong pointed Chu Yu out to his group of buddies, none of whom were good people. Seeing Chu Yu's bulging chest, they grinned lewdly with ill intent.
"Brother Qiu, when you're done, don't forget about us. Let us have a taste of this good stuff."
The gang of thugs following Qiu Jiadong were not locals from Deyang. With the recent crackdown on crime, families in Deyang with any standing kept a close eye on their children, fearing they might run into trouble. Those who dared to associate with Qiu Jiadong and defy the law were all children from poor families. They had come back from the countryside after the Cultural Revolution, and their parents were not employees, so they had no choice but to follow Qiu Jiadong as unemployed vagrants.
Qiu Jiadong was generous, buying cigarettes and alcohol for his brothers and even paying for them to find women. These men were very loyal to him.
"Brother Qiu, let Li Mingtang have a taste too. Li Gou has been following you for almost three years, but he's still a virgin who's never tasted a woman," Zhao Wu suggested.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Qiu Jiadong flicked his cigarette ash dismissively.
Li Mingtang bent over and caught the cigarette with his hand, and Qiu Jiadong pressed the cigarette butt into his palm, but he didn't say a word.
The crowd laughed even harder, glancing at Li Mingtang's lower body and saying he was no good, but Li Mingtang remained in a meditative state.
After they left, Li Mingtang numbly flicked the cigarette from his palm.
He turned to look at the girl Qiu Jiadong was staring at. Li Mingtang had some impression of her. In the second week of school, a transfer student came to the school and surpassed Jiang Qilue to become the top student in the senior year of Dezhong High School. The students were talking about her beauty and good grades. Li Mingtang came out of the toilet and glanced at her from a distance.
She wore a clean white shirt and pleated skirt, exuding a sense of aloofness, a kind of superiority that differed from Mao Xia's arrogance, but rather from a purity of spirit.
During break, Li Mingtang was carrying his English notebook to the office when someone deliberately bumped into him on the stairs. People around him laughed maliciously, but Chu Yu squatted down and helped him pick up the scattered English notebook.
Li Mingtang is only 1.5 meters tall and lives in the countryside on the outskirts of Deyang. His parents were swept away by a flood while working on a river project, leaving him to live with his widowed and blind grandmother. He was a good student and hardworking, and he worked his hardest to get into Deyang Middle School. However, he was short and always wore black pants that exposed his buttocks.
His classmates all bullied him, and the one who bullied him the most was Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu brought him to Qiu Jiadong's side.
He became Qiu Jiadong's dog.
Li Mingtang was unwilling to accept this, but he was powerless to do anything about it. He had resisted, but Qiu Jiadong set fire to his kitchen. His grandmother was so frightened that she almost couldn't escape while using her cane.
Qiu Jiadong is a beast. He took a liking to the ticket seller and raped her. The girl threatened to jump into the river, but the Qiu family threatened her father and gave her stepmother a large sum of money. The girl went to the police station to report the crime, but her father withdrew the case, saying that she had mental problems, was mentally ill, and that the incident of being defiled by Qiu Jiadong was just her imagination.
The police had no choice but to drop the case.
After the girl returned home, she was locked in the house by her family and not released for several months. Li Mingtang knew this because the girl lived in the next village to his, and he could hear her screams every time he returned home.
He wasn't crazy before, but now he's probably really crazy.
How many girls has Qiu Jiadong defiled? Li Mingtang alone knows of at least five or six.
However, the Qiu family is a local power in Deyang. They are a large and influential family with many relatives in important departments in Deyang. With the Qiu family protecting him, Qiu Jiadong has the right to act arrogantly in Deyang!
I heard that Chu Yu is a girl from Rongtai's rural area. Qiu Jiadong has taken a liking to her. How can she escape?
Li Mingtang was a little sad. He wanted to help her, but he could barely protect himself. If he helped Chu Yu and Qiu Jiadong found out, his grandmother would be burned to death. He had relied on his grandmother since he was a child, how could he watch her suffer such a great torment?
Li Mingtang walked slowly. By the time he came out of the mutton shop, Dai Donglin had just seen Chu Yu and Shen Zhuyu into the car. He was driving a Beijing-plated Jeep. Qiu Jiadong had asked around several times but hadn't been able to find out who the owner of the car was.
It's not that nobody knows, but those who do keep quiet. Qiu Jiadong is brainless; he categorized Dai Donglin as powerless and insignificant. But Dai Donglin's demeanor is nothing like that of an ordinary person. Li Mingtang himself lives like a vermin and knows what it's like to be truly at the bottom of society. Dai Donglin is from a completely different world; he's not someone who can be bullied as easily as he is.
However, Li Mingtang was still unsure just how difficult Dai Donglin was to bully.
Chu Yu was unaware that she was being watched. She was exhausted these past few days, so she said goodbye to Dai Donglin and wanted to go home to rest as soon as possible.
Dai Donglin knew she was having a hard time, so he didn't have the heart to bother her. It seemed there was no hope of living a good life with her.
Dai Donglin patted her head and handed her a glass of milk. "From now on, drink a glass of milk every day and go to bed early after you finish it."
Chu Yu had never been taken care of like this before in her entire life.
"I don't like drinking milk."
A few days ago, Lao Ma, one of Dai Donglin's subordinates, had his daughter take the high school entrance exam. Lao Ma asked someone to buy two boxes of brain-boosting pills from Guangdong Province, saying that they would help students improve their brains and score a few more points after taking them.
This stuff is hard to buy; in Guangdong province, you practically have to fight for it. Old Ma bought two boxes at a high price and was overjoyed.
Dai Donglin thought to himself that his daughter was also a test taker, so shouldn't she also pay attention to nutrition?
He had inquired with the doctor and learned that the brain-boosting pills were not legitimate at all. They claimed to improve brain function, but they were actually just vitamins. Dai Donglin didn't dare let Chu Yu take any medicine casually, so he had to ask the doctor how to supplement nutrition.
The doctor thought he was raising a daughter and told him to give her some milk and more meat and eggs. Dai Donglin listened and decided to give Chu Yu a glass of milk every day starting today.
