Jiang Qi'an saw that although the little girl in front of him was dressed in ordinary linen clothes, with a wooden hairpin holding up her black hair, and one or two small patches on the hem of her clothes, she could still attract people's attention at a glance.
As long as the men Zhou Renjiang sent aren't blind, they certainly won't let such a beautiful woman go.
"Let's go without delay." Su Ruojin couldn't wait a moment longer.
She didn't know the other party's purpose in kidnapping her grandmother, and the longer she delayed, the more dangerous it would be for her grandmother.
Xiangyang Village is the largest village in the suburbs of Beijing.
A distant niece named Cui Ni came to visit Wang Ergen's family in the village.
Cui Ni was very diligent, helping with farm work and delivering meals to her "uncle" in the fields.
This pretty and capable young girl instantly became the best daughter-in-law candidate in the eyes of the village women. They would often pull her aside to chat and ask if she was engaged.
Watching Su Ruojin so at ease from the shadows, Jiang Qi'an would have thought she was just a country girl born and raised in the village if he didn't know her.
They were very skilled at those farm chores, not at all like something a novice could do.
No matter what, Su Ruojin was once the eldest daughter of the Lin family. How could she be so familiar with farm work?
He never imagined that when Su Ruojin traveled around, she would often stay in some simple and honest villages, do farm work with everyone, and enjoy that peaceful rural life.
Although Jiang Qi'an was puzzled, he had to admit that if he were to send someone to impersonate a peasant girl, they would definitely not be as good as Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin tried every means to make her presence known in the village and attract the attention of the people at Cuiyun Villa.
There are several villages in the suburbs of Beijing, and no one can guarantee that the people from Cuiyun Villa will arrive at Xiangyang Village today.
Su Ruojin was a little anxious. When she was carrying the clothes she had just washed by the river home, she was suddenly blocked by someone.
Looking up, she saw a man with a pointed face, monkey-like cheeks, and triangular eyes staring lewdly at Su Ruojin.
"Oh, whose young lady is this? I've never seen her before. In this blazing sun, you're still washing clothes by the river? Look at your little hands, they're all white from being in the water, it's heartbreaking. Come, let me see if your face is tanned." With that, the man reached out to touch Su Ruojin's face.
The man was Niu Dajun, a notorious local thug. He was idle and lazy all day long. Whenever he had a little money, he would either buy alcohol or spend the whole day gambling in the city. He would also harass the village's older women, young wives, and girls whenever he had nothing to do.
He had just lost all his money at the gambling den that day, and when he returned to the village, he ran into Su Ruojin, which made his eyes light up.
Is this the legendary case of being unlucky in gambling but lucky in love?
Niu Dajun is quite lucky with women; his frustration from losing money has lessened considerably.
Su Ruojin took a few steps back, avoiding Niu Dajun's outstretched hand, and turned to leave.
Niu Dajun quickly stepped forward and blocked her way again: "Little lady, don't be shy, your brother Jun will take good care of you." After saying that, he reached out to pull Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin was pondering how to deal with Niu Dajun so that no one would suspect her and ruin her plans.
Then Uncle Gen charged toward Niu Dajun, wielding a wooden stick as thick as an arm: "Niu Dajun, you dare to make a move on my Cui Ni? I'll beat you to death!"
Uncle Gen was Su Ruojin's nominal uncle in the village.
As the stick came flying towards him, Niu Dajun tried to dodge to the side, but his foot felt like it had been hit by something and went numb instantly. He couldn't move and took a solid hit from Uncle Gen's stick, falling to the ground on the spot.
After the first blow, the second blow, and the third blow were continuously delivered to Niu Dajun.
"Ouch, Uncle Gen, stop hitting her! I didn't know she was from your family! Uncle Gen, please stop hitting her! I was wrong, I'll never do it again!" Niu Dajun pleaded, holding his head.
Uncle Gen was also tired of beating her. He slammed the stick on the ground and cursed breathlessly, "Niu Dajun, if you dare to make a move on my Cui Ni again, I'll beat you to death!"
Niu Dajun clutched his stomach and quickly got up, repeatedly saying, "I won't do it again, Uncle Gen, I won't do it again." Then he stumbled away.
After running a distance, Niu Dajun looked back at Su Ruojin and Uncle Gen with a sinister look in his eyes, which Su Ruojin happened to see.
Such thugs are like rats in the gutter; once they suffer a loss, they retreat back into the gutter and wait for another chance to retaliate.
She had to come up with a foolproof plan to ensure the safety of Uncle Gen's family.
At this moment, Su Ruojin did not expect that Niu Dajun would offer her the opportunity himself and become her "helper".
As the sun began to set, Su Ruojin wandered around the village for most of the day without feeling like she was being watched.
