The sudden appearance of Dao San, and the large knife that appeared at her neck, terrified Luo Yanfen so much that her legs went weak!
That's right, the person staring at Yang Cui with resentment was Luo Yanfen!
"I...I...I didn't have any purpose, I just...I just wanted to ask if Miss Yang buys earthworms?" Afraid Dao San wouldn't believe her, Luo Yanfen immediately opened the bamboo basket for him to inspect; the basket was teeming with earthworms. "I used to beg for water here, Miss Yang...Miss Yang knows me. I saw you were eating, so I..."
"Come in with me."
Dao San sheathed his knife and led Luo Yanfen into the Yang family home.
Yang Cui was quite puzzled when she saw Dao San bring in a woman, but she quickly recognized Luo Yanfen. She remembered that Luo Yanfen had come to her place to ask for water before.
But... today she wore makeup and looked radiant, completely different from the average woman in the village.
When Yang Cui first saw Luo Yanfen's appearance, she was shocked. In fact, it is normal for women to love beauty and dressing up. However, none of the women in the village wear makeup or dress up. This is mainly because they are poor and do not have the economic means or awareness to do so. When they see others dressed up nicely, there are a lot of rumors in the village.
Luo Yanfen loves beauty and has the courage to put on makeup and dress up, which Yang Cui admires.
Upon entering the Yang family home and seeing Cen Xiao, whom she had been longing to see, Luo Yanfen felt extremely nervous.
She dressed up deliberately today. In terms of facial features, she felt that she was more outstanding than Yang Cui, and she hoped that she could attract Cen Xiao's attention.
However, in reality, Cen Xiao never even glanced at her.
Yang Cui, of course, had no idea of Luo Yanfen's plans. She got up, went inside, took out a scale, weighed the earthworms that Luo Yanfen had brought, and finally gave her six copper coins, saying, "My family needs a lot of earthworms. If you have time, you can dig up some more and send them over."
After selling the first batch of ducks, Yang Cui bought another 500 ducklings. She still has more than 600 half-grown ducks at home, and the daily demand is quite large. People in the village also dig for them, but Yang Cui is worried about encountering unexpected situations, so she thought of preparing more. Anyway, boiled and dried earthworms can be stored for a long time.
Luo Yanfen was worried about not having a chance to get close to them when Yang Cui took the initiative to suggest that she deliver earthworms to sell every day, so that she could see Cen Xiao every day.
It's like someone just brings you a pillow when you're about to fall asleep.
"Then I'll come again tomorrow afternoon. You're such a kind person. My family is worried about not having enough rice to cook. Thank you, Miss Yang." Luo Yanfen looked grateful.
As soon as Luo Yanfen left, Cen Xiao immediately instructed Dao San: "Go and follow her."
"Yes." Dao San accepted the order and turned to follow.
Yang Cui frowned slightly: "You suspect this woman has a problem?"
Cen Xiao nodded.
"But I don't know her! We shouldn't have any grudges or hatred between us, so where did you get the idea that there's something wrong with her?"
"Have you ever seen any woman in the village with lips like hers, as if they've been smeared with chicken blood?"
Yang Cui rolled her eyes at him: "You're such a straight man. That's called lip rouge, okay? Besides, loving beauty is a woman's nature. You can't be like those gossipy women in the village and think that it's improper for someone to dress up. I even bought a whole box of that color of lip rouge."
She hadn't applied the makeup yet, afraid the gossipers in the village would say she was improper. Yang Cui didn't care about such so-called reputation, but she had to think about the children.
Cen Xiao hadn't expected Yang Cui to buy a box of chicken blood. Imagining Yang Cui dressed up, he thought she would definitely be very attractive. Then Cen Xiao whispered, "You're already very beautiful, you don't need to put on chicken blood."
Good heavens! Their master can actually say sweet words now!!!
The sun is rising in the west!
Dao Ba stared at Cen Xiao with a look of horror.
Upon seeing Dao Ba's expression, Cen Xiao immediately shot him a glare, which scared Dao Ba so much that he immediately ran away to urinate.
Cen Xiao coughed a few times and said, "That woman kept saying she couldn't make ends meet, but she was also smearing chicken blood on herself. There must be something wrong with her. Let Dao San go over there. It won't be a problem."
Actually, Cen Xiao felt that he had seen Luo Yanfen somewhere before, and Luo Yanfen's unusual behavior of putting on makeup was what prompted him to do this.
Hearing Cen Xiao say this, Yang Cui also felt a little strange. The last time this woman came to ask for water, her appearance was completely different from now. There might really be something strange about her.
Luo Yanfen never expected that her elaborate dressing up in an attempt to attract Cen Xiao would arouse his suspicion.
At this moment, she was still thinking about how to outshine Yang Cui, how to get close to Cen Xiao, and how to make him fall in love with her...
"Oh, isn't this my dear cousin?" A female voice suddenly rang out. Luo Yanfen would never forget this voice, the one that had killed her in her past life—her cousin, Zhao Jiajia!
Zhao Jiajia never expected that she would run into Luo Yanfen just by going to the temple to burn incense.
Luo Yanfen glared at Zhao Jiajia, the events of her past life still vivid in her mind, and she wished she could drink her blood and tear her flesh apart!
Ignoring Luo Yanfen's angry glare, Zhao Jiajia swayed her slender waist triumphantly as she walked up to her and mocked, "Still wearing lipstick, dressed so flamboyantly, she's obviously not a decent woman, probably running off with a lover somewhere! Zhang Ma, tie her up and send her to Zhuangjiagou, tell that widower that this kind of restless woman should have her legs broken and be locked in the cattle pen!"
At this time, Zhao Jiajia was unaware that Luo Yanfen had already killed the widower who bought her!
Zhang Ma, who was standing next to Zhao Jiajia, immediately led her men to arrest Luo Yanfen.
"You slut! Zhao Jiajia, you slut, you ingrate! If it weren't for my Luo family taking you in, you would have long ago ended up in a brothel, a whore ridden by a thousand men and slept with by ten thousand! You repay kindness with enmity, may you die a horrible death! Let me go, let me go!"
Hearing Luo Yanfen's insults, Zhao Jiajia's face turned ashen. Recalling the days when she lived under the Luo family's roof, she coldly ordered the servants around her, "You few go over there and teach this once high and mighty Luo family girl how to behave. After you're done, send her to Zhuangjiagou and tell her widower to 'treat her well' from now on." Zhao Jiajia deliberately emphasized the words "treat her well."
After saying that, Zhao Jiajia left with her people. She only wanted her to suffer, but she had no interest in hearing them do that kind of thing.
Upon receiving the order, the three servants immediately began to drag Luo Yanfen into the bushes with a smirk. Luo Yanfen struggled desperately and cried out for help.
Dao San never expected that Zhao Jiajia, who looked so sweet, would have such a vicious heart!
Judging from their words, they seem to be cousins. They actually sent someone to try to rape Luo Yanfen. Their intentions are truly vicious!
Just as Luo Yanfen's clothes were about to be lost, Dao San used a dart to hit the three servants, who screamed in pain.
Luo Yanfen clutched her chest and quickly took the opportunity to escape.
The three servants were terrified and, ignoring their injuries, hurriedly fled.
Zhao Jiajia was terrified and panicked. She immediately got into the carriage and ordered her men to head back.
She ran a long way before finally stopping to catch her breath, making sure the man wasn't chasing her. But little did she know, she had escaped one danger only to fall into another...
