"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, my family is transplanting rice seedlings the day after tomorrow, and I'm planning to go to town to buy some meat tomorrow, so I'm going to dig bamboo shoots today."
Wei Yuyan explained.
"Oh, so I guess I'll have meat to eat the day after tomorrow."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law focused her attention on the meat.
"Of course, if I'm hiring you to work, I'll have to treat you to good food and drink."
Wei Yuyan thought that transplanting rice seedlings was hard work, and she couldn't do without eating some meat.
"Have you dried the bamboo shoots from last time?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua inquired, since it was impossible to eat all those bamboo shoots in such a short time.
"Yes, I washed them all clean, blanched them, and then dried them. I figured there were still bamboo shoots to dig up on the mountain anyway."
Last time, Wei Yuyan asked Sister-in-law Xiuhua to take some home to eat, but they refused, saying they could come back to the mountain to dig more.
"Hmm, it should have grown by now."
Two adults and two children went into the bamboo forest.
"Qianqian, help us look for a while, and then help Sister Xiuhua look for a while, okay?"
Wei Yuyan instructed Qian'er.
"Okay, I'll go then."
Qian'er happily skipped to the back. The two of them had been digging in opposite directions; otherwise, they definitely wouldn't have been able to dig much together.
Wu Lei just said he was going to check if there were any fish in the water, and Wei Yuyan went with him. If there were fish, they could add some vegetables to the dish.
"My dear lady, I've missed you so much."
Suddenly, a pair of large hands touched Wei Yuyan's waist. Wei Yuyan trembled, jumped up, and looked back.
There was a man in his thirties or forties. He looked stupid and sleazy, but his eyes were very lewd.
"Who are you? Are you looking to die?"
Wei Yuyan held the hoe up to him, her mind racing. She didn't seem to recognize this person. Was he from the village?
I know I can't beat him, but Sister-in-law Xiuhua is a bit far away and might not be able to hear me.
"Who am I? Oh dear, my wife doesn't even recognize me. What a pity. Wu Chen has been gone for a year. Aren't you lonely during this year? You won't be lonely anymore."
After saying that, the man grabbed Wei Yuyan's hoe and pulled hard.
Wei Yuyan lost her balance and almost fell. He had already snatched the hoe away. She hadn't expected this bastard to be so strong.
"Wu Lei~ Wu Lei~".
Wei Yuyan had no choice but to shout a couple of times since Wu Lei was closer to her.
Before she could finish shouting, the man pounced on her and covered Wei Yuyan's mouth with his hand.
"Shh, don't scream, my wife. If someone comes and sees us like this, do you think they'll still believe you're innocent? I'll make you feel good later, then you can scream."
After saying that, the man began to unbuckle his belt with one hand.
Wei Yuyan was holding back tears, but she was pinned down by the man and couldn't move, which made her feel a little desperate.
"Bang!"
The man was struck hard from behind.
"Ah~, who is it? Well, you little brat."
The man jumped up in pain and saw that Wu Lei was holding the hoe that had just been thrown aside. Wu Lei had used all his strength just now. The man felt like his back might be broken; it hurt so much.
"You dare to bully my sister-in-law? You're asking for death."
Wu Lei was certainly scared; if you looked closely, you would see that his hands were still trembling, but his eyes and tone showed no fear.
The man jumped away, and Wei Yuyan also got up. Ignoring her sentimentality, she rushed over and kicked him in his injured back.
The man collapsed to the ground in pain, but Wei Yuyan had no intention of letting him go. She picked up a stick from the ground.
They started targeting men, not hoes, because those things were too heavy and they were afraid of killing him.
Wu Lei held onto the hoe tightly, not daring to let go. Who knew if the man would retaliate?
"Oh dear, help me, grandma! I'll never do it again, I'll never do it again! Please, let me go! I was blind to your greatness!"
The man kept begging him to let him go, to let him go.
"What's wrong? Xiao Lei, sister-in-law, what happened?"
When Sister-in-law Xiuhua arrived, the man was already covered in wounds; his face, hands, and legs were all covered in injuries.
At first, Wu Qian heard the sound first, and Xiu Hua's sister-in-law thought someone had fallen into the river and was calling for help, but she didn't expect this to be the scene.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, he is a bad person."
Xiao Lei breathed a sigh of relief, still glaring at the man on the ground.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, he just tried to bully me. Luckily, Xiaolei was nearby, otherwise he would have succeeded. But I don't know him."
Wei Yuyan was also tired from fighting, so she sat down to rest. The man still held his head and dared not speak.
"What?! I'll beat you to death, you lecherous scoundrel! How dare you bully Wu Chen's woman? You're lawless!"
When Xiuhua's sister-in-law heard this, she was furious and immediately picked up the stick that Wei Yuyan had just dropped and started hitting the man.
"Oh dear sister-in-law, please, please forgive me, please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again."
The man immediately knelt down and begged them, mainly because Sister Xiuhua was even more ruthless than Wei Yuyan, and he was afraid they would beat him to death today.
"It's you, Liu Dong. You're such a shameless bastard."
When I get home, I'm going to tell your wife that you actually did something like this.
Sister-in-law Xiuhua could tell at a glance that this was someone from the village. She thought to herself, "Let's see if he has any shame, daring to do such a thing."
"No, no, please don't! That tigress! If she finds out, she'll definitely divorce me. I'll do whatever you want with me."
The man begged and pleaded on the ground, begging that his wife never be told.
Wei Yuyan was somewhat surprised to hear his words. Could he be a live-in son-in-law?
"Hmph, how much money do you have on you? Hand it over."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua rolled her eyes. She had already hit her and scolded her, and there was nothing else she could do to punish her.
But I'm not willing to let him go like this, so I might as well...
"Uh, I didn't have much money on me when I came up the mountain, just two strings of cash."
The man pulled two strings of coins out of his sleeve.
"Not enough, hurry up."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law hit the man with a stick again.
"Ouch, ouch, don't hit me, let me see, it seems there's still some left."
The man trembled and patted his body again, reluctantly taking out a silver coin from his chest. It was worth two coins.
"I don't think I have any left on me."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law stared at him with wide eyes.
"No, really, no more."
The man looked disheveled, and his expressions were quite varied.
"That's good. We won't tell your wife about this now."
But if there's a second chance, we won't tell your wife, because you'll be killed instantly.
"Think about it, in this desolate wilderness, if a few of us killed you and buried you, who would know?"
Xiuhua's sister-in-law picked up the money and then started to scare the man.
