"What? You're taking it out on me now that you can't get anything from Brother Dashan? You say I'm selling my body for money? Well, you can have your daughter learn from me. Maybe she can even snag you a rich husband so you can live a life of luxury and wear gold and silver!"
"You! You..." Zhang Dashan's aunt, Li, was so angry that her face turned red.
Except for one or two people who didn't like to join in the fun, everyone else on the oxcart pointed at Su Ruanruan and cursed her incessantly.
Su Ruanruan swept her gaze across their ugly faces, especially Wen Shi, who had just spoken ill of her, and was the most smug.
Su Ruanruan found these people extremely annoying, and in the original owner's memories, she hated them to the core.
The original owner's mother was gentle and kind, and in her youth she was a beautiful and graceful young woman.
Since marrying into this village, I've become a beautiful sight to behold, but I've also incurred their jealousy and been bullied quite a bit.
Now that her mother is dead, they come to humiliate her daughter.
Su Ruanruan immediately sneered, "Go ahead and curse me, it's perfect for me to see your ugly faces. I'll show you how the shameless person you call me seduces your man."
Those people fell silent instantly. They knew that Su Ruanruan was plain-looking, but she was used to pretending to be weak in front of men. Coupled with her slender waist and full bust, she was more alluring than these burly women.
They know very well what men are.
They know their husbands' character better than anyone else.
If Su Ruanruan keeps her word, and her own man is bewitched, then they'll never have a good time.
Seeing that these people were intimidated, Su Ruanruan brushed the messy stray hairs from her forehead and said, "If any of you provoke me again, I'll take it out on the men in her family. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try."
...I am a dividing line
Su Ruanruan sat on the road in a disheveled state, with dust flying in the strong wind.
She waved her hand, almost choking on her own.
Only after the dust settled did she dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
But not long after, the sound of horses' hooves clattered, raising another cloud of dust.
Su Ruanruan was about to curse, she was all dirty again.
That's right, those people didn't dare to curse her, but they worked together to pull her off the oxcart.
Especially that Wen woman, who took the opportunity to pinch her chest hard, and it still hurts to this day.
The rider stopped as he passed her. Su Ruanruan sat down on the road, covered in dust and dirt. Looking up at the crimson horse beside her, she saw someone staring at her with icy eyes.
She squinted slightly and realized that the person was none other than the man she had given the middle finger to.
That cold-faced constable.
What is he doing here?
Thinking of the gem she had lost, Su Ruanruan lowered her head in a panic once again.
She didn't want others to see her in such a disheveled state.
Huo Yan glanced down at her a few times before looking away, somewhat curious about how she had gotten so dirty.
However, her affairs are none of his business.
With a flick of the whip, the horse galloped happily away.
The dust was billowing, and Su Ruanruan choked a few more times.
She gritted her teeth and coldly watched the figure grow smaller and smaller in the distance.
After a long while, he patted the dust off his head and looked up at the sky.
She was still quite a distance from the village, and the sun was about to set. She would start to feel afraid once it got completely dark.
But I felt really bad and didn't want to walk another step.
After sitting and resting for a while, a donkey cart slowly passed by.
Su Ruanruan, who was snoring with her head down, looked up when she heard the noise and saw the donkey cart suddenly accelerate as it passed her.
She brushed aside the messy hair on her forehead and saw that the driver was Gu Yong, the village's barefoot doctor, and his son Gu Ji was sitting in the donkey cart.
The boy was looking down, weaving something with reeds, and didn't even glance in her direction.
"Gu Ji, Gu Ji".
As she watched the donkey cart drive away, she quickly stood up.
Su Ruanruan called out a few times, but it was unclear whether he heard her or not. However, the donkey cart visibly sped up.
Su Ruanruan's throat was dry and sore, and she knew that the barefoot doctor had done it on purpose.
Knowing it was hopeless, he sullenly sat down on the ground again.
"Dad, stop! I think I see Ruan Ruan."
Gu Yong didn't even turn his head. "You bastard, all you ever do is talk about soft, soft, soft, soft, soft."
"Dad, if you don't stop, I'm jumping off the cart. From now on, you can go with the donkey."
Seeing that his father didn't react, he actually pretended to jump down, which scared Gu Yong so much that he quickly grabbed the rope.
Before the donkey cart had even come to a complete stop, the boy had already jumped off and happily ran towards the grimy-looking man.
"Soft."
Su Ruanruan looked at Gu Ji, who had suddenly appeared, in disbelief, after all, her voice had been barely audible.
But to my surprise, this guy actually heard it.
Gu Ji was unaware of Su Ruanruan's ordeal. He and his father had been extremely busy these past few days, delivering calves in one village, breeding pigs in another, and even treating several patients. They only managed to return home today.
Seeing Su Ruanruan like this, he felt even more heartbroken. He patted the dust off her body and then helped her step by step toward the donkey cart.
"What happened? Did someone bully you while you were selling tofu today? How come your wrist is injured and your ankle is sprained?"
He helped Su Ruanruan sit down, and then sat down next to her, waiting for her answer.
Su Ruanruan glanced at the boy who was only a few years older than her, but did not respond.
Seeing this, Gu Ji became even more anxious.
In the past, when she was wronged, she would shed tears, looking so pitiful and soft-hearted.
