"This position is nice, I like it. It seems your wife likes it very much too, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of throwing herself at us. In that case, we brothers will satisfy you today, so you won't have to stay up all night alone."
Ye Lan recognized the two people in front of her.
The village's local thugs, Er Gou and Gou Dan.
The two of them did nothing but eat, drink, gamble, and whore.
She noticed very early on that the way they looked at her made her uncomfortable.
So she has always tried to avoid them.
Surprisingly, even with the outer walls raised, they still couldn't stop them!
"Let me go! If you dare touch me, my man will make sure you pay when he gets back in a few days!"
Lin Yu was still fast asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Ye Lan dared not make a loud noise, and could only suppress her voice and desperately resist.
"Everyone in this village knows your husband dotes on his wife, but if he finds out we've touched you, do you think he'll still want you? I advise you to be sensible, otherwise my brother and I will kill your little girl right now and go out shouting that you seduced us because you were lonely! Your daughter and son have gone into the mountains and won't be back until at least noon. That's enough time for us to do it a few times! You're not a virgin anymore, what are you resisting for?"
Er Gou couldn't help but snuggle up to Ye Lan's neck, the fragrance wafting from her nostrils making his heart flutter.
Lin Zhenghong dotes on his wife.
Ye Lan was never allowed to work in the fields.
Therefore, although she was a peasant woman, her skin was more delicate than that of a prostitute in the city.
Under his coercion, Ye Lan's resistance gradually diminished.
The light in his eyes was gradually fading.
Er Gou seized the opportunity and dragged her to the east room.
Once on the kang (heated brick bed), he couldn't wait to show off his big yellow teeth and move closer to her face...
At that time, Lin Zhenghong was working in the town.
Because he was not very literate, he could not do easy work and could only do hard labor such as carrying bags.
Although carrying bags is hard work.
But he could earn more by working harder, and he could earn forty coins a day.
The host also provides food and lodging.
And they never delay paying wages, so many people are eager to do this job.
He was chosen by the family because of his tall stature.
He was very grateful for this opportunity and is usually very serious and conscientious in his work.
I just don't know why.
He was restless all day and couldn't muster the energy to work.
Given that he usually behaves very honestly and never cheats or slacks.
Seeing that he had made several mistakes today, his employer gave him a day off so he could go home and rest, and paid him half of his salary.
Lin Zhenghong was very grateful to the family for this.
But when he wanted to go back to his place to rest, he was suddenly blocked by several people as he passed through an alley.
He looked at them cautiously.
Who are you?
"Brother Lin, Master Wu invites you to come with us."
Facing several tall and strong men, Lin Zhenghong had no chance of winning.
I had no choice but to go with them to the Wu residence.
After being led to the front hall by a servant, he waited for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before the belated arrival of Master Wu.
Lin Zhenghong quietly observed the seemingly refined but actually despicable Master Wu in front of him.
The disgust in one's heart cannot be hidden.
Even when he was under someone else's roof, he didn't give the old man who coveted his daughter a kind look.
"Brother Lin, don't be afraid. I invited you here only because I have a question to ask. Did your daughter reject my marriage proposal because she thought the betrothal gifts were insufficient? Don't worry, this is all negotiable."
Master Wu couldn't think of any other reason why they would refuse his marriage proposal.
After all, he was one of the most prominent figures in the town.
He didn't think any woman would want to be his second wife.
“My daughter will be eighteen in two months. She’s not young anymore. Her mother and I can’t bear to see her get married, so we can only keep her at home and find a son-in-law to live with us.”
"That's easy. Why bother with a son-in-law? If your daughter is willing to marry me, I'll buy you a house in town, how about that?"
He has plenty of money.
It's just a small house; as long as I can get married, that's all that matters.
In fact, Master Wu noticed Lin Yan the first time she carried a wild boar into the town.
Her beautiful appearance and astonishing strength were such a striking contrast that they were incredibly captivating.
Subsequent follow-up proved that his judgment was indeed excellent.
It's astonishing that a woman could obtain such precious medicinal materials as bear bile and deer antler.
It truly gave him a huge surprise!
After all, his business also includes medicinal herbs.
If you were to marry a woman like that, wouldn't it be like marrying a treasure trove?
“Master Wu is indeed outstanding, with such a large business in town, but the age gap between you and my daughter is simply too great. We will not agree to your marriage proposal under any circumstances, please understand our feelings as parents. You also have a daughter; would you want her to marry a man old enough to be her father?”
Despite facing a wealthy and powerful man, Lin Zhenghong showed no fear for the sake of his daughter's happiness, meeting Wu's gaze with neither arrogance nor servility.
"Heh, too bad your daughter doesn't have a father like me! I'm not asking you before I marry your daughter; you're just a farmer, don't push your luck!"
The refined smile that had been on Master Wu's face quickly turned gloomy.
The weather changes faster than the weather in June.
Now that things have been brought up, he's not going to keep pretending anymore.
They didn't care at all and revealed their true colors.
"I'm telling you, forcibly taking something is illegal. If you dare touch my daughter, I'll risk my life to prevent you from succeeding!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, then we'll wait and see. Considering you're my future father-in-law, I'll forgive your great disrespect today."
"If he acts so recklessly again, I can't guarantee what I might do. Guards, show him out! Remember to take good care of your father-in-law."
Master Wu leisurely sipped his tea, watching Lin Zhenghong being "invited" out of the house.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and a playful, expectant smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
Lin Zhenghong, who was escorted out by several thugs, could not escape their gang attack.
After the thugs left, he trembled as he leaned against the wall to keep himself from falling.
The bruises on his face were very noticeable.
Thinking of Master Wu's threat earlier, he felt a slight pang in his heart and gave a self-deprecating bitter laugh.
It's all because he's useless!
He can't even protect his own daughter!
Lin Yan was unaware of what had happened in town and at home.
But blood relations are amazing.
She suddenly felt a strange unease in her heart.
Moreover, this unease was getting worse, making it impossible for her to calm down!
She could only tell her younger brother to wait for her at the Xie family's house, while she dropped her basket and ran home quickly.
When she arrived at her doorstep, she noticed two messy footprints under the wall, and she knew something was wrong.
To avoid alerting the enemy, she braced herself against the wall with one hand and easily scaled the wall.
When the half-closed door of the east room was pushed open, the scene inside deeply stung Lin Yan's eyes!
Her anger was also rising!
