The two arrived at the ferry at 3 p.m., and just as the boatman, Zhu Lao Da, was about to set sail, he saw Village Chief Xu walking towards them, supporting Old Man Shu's ugly daughter. Although he was curious, he urged them, "Village Chief, hurry up... I'm going to start the boat!"
"Here we are, here we are... Boss Zhu, don't rush to sail so quickly, wait for us."
Although he really wanted to jog, Village Chief Xu felt that Shu Jiaying seemed to be sweating, so he slowed down his pace.
When the two men got on the boat, they heard Boss Zhu's dissatisfied voice.
"Village head, it's only a few steps away. You guys are walking leisurely, but it's hard on the villagers on the boat who are rushing back to the village."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Boss Zhu, you can drive the boat now."
After placing Shu Jiaying in an empty seat at the bow, Village Chief Xu gave the boat fare to Boss Zhu.
After receiving the money, Boss Zhu shut up, adjusted the direction of the boat and started heading towards Guangming Village.
Along the way, the villagers sitting in the boat were relatively quiet, and only from the middle of the hold could the voices of a villager talking with his companions be heard from time to time.
At the bow, Shu Jiaying, whose back was still aching, stared silently at the waves rolling on the water. Seeing that she was silent, Captain Xu did not dare to disturb her. He just felt that this girl had a terrible life. She disappeared and was kidnapped to the inn. Although she looked neatly dressed, her sad expression could not be concealed.
maybe--
In just one or two hours, Jiaying had already lost her virginity to the criminal who kidnapped her. Otherwise, why would he give her ten taels of silver as compensation in one lump sum?
Alas... these days a woman's reputation is more important than anything else.
Village Chief Xu thought to himself: Jiaying girl, I hope nothing happens to you!
Compared to the passionate heart of Xu Lichang, Shu Jiaying seemed much calmer at the moment. Although she was still digesting the series of blows after her rebirth, since things had become a foregone conclusion, she was powerless to change anything. Now she only thought about how to get out of this mess, otherwise she would continue to be exploited.
Shu Jiaying felt fortunate about the accident that happened today. Although the accident caused her injuries, she also received ten taels of silver in compensation. After deducting the one tael given to Village Chief Xu, she still had nine taels of silver on her.
Shu Jiaying understood that the house where her father and stepmother lived was indeed in her name, but she couldn't drive away all the family members who bullied her at once. If she really did that, then suffering from gossip would be a small matter, but she would be isolated by the whole village, and then she really wouldn't be able to stay in Guangming Village. It seemed that this matter needed to be considered carefully.
She suddenly raised her head because Shu Jiaying always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching her from the stern. She wanted to know who was secretly watching her, but in the end what she saw were figures standing up from the cabin and preparing to get off the boat.
Shu Jiaying originally wanted to wait for everyone to get off the boat, but Village Chief Xu stopped her.
"Jiaying, the boat has already docked. Let's go quickly, otherwise we'll be in big trouble if all those people behind us squeeze out."
"oh!"
Just as she stood up, the boat suddenly shook. Shu Jiaying staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Village Chief Xu was quick to support her.
With this help, Shu Jiaying fell squarely into the arms of Village Chief Xu.
"Ah...I'm sorry, Uncle Xu."
Shu Jiaying endured the pain in her back and quickly escaped from the arms of Village Chief Xu. Although she was very quick, she still received strange looks from the villagers.
