One week later.
Jiang Zhiliu's ankle wound has almost healed.
No bones were injured, and he can walk normally now.
These past few days she has been trying to please Wu Zhuang every day.
Wu Zhuang gradually became more at ease with her.
"What's making the village so lively today?"
Jiang Zhiliu stopped Wu Zhuang, who was about to leave.
"My son is turning one year old, and I'm going to help out."
"You better stay home. There are traps set at every intersection in the village. If you dare to run away, you'll be sorry!"
After giving his warning, Wu Zhuang pushed Jiang Zhiliu's hand away.
"If you don't trust me, why don't I go and help you too?"
"It can also make you look good."
Jiang Zhiliu looked at Wu Zhuang expectantly as she spoke.
Wu Zhuang thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Okay, then come with me."
"Go to the kitchen and wash the vegetables or something."
Jiang Zhiliu nodded happily and followed Wu Zhuang's steps.
In the kitchen.
A dozen or so women were sitting inside, some washing vegetables, some washing dishes.
When those people saw Jiang Zhiliu arrive, their eyes were filled with ill intent.
Several women washing dishes around a large basin were glancing at Jiang Zhiliu and whispering among themselves.
Then came another burst of snickers.
It's obvious they're talking badly about Jiang Zhiliu.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Jiang Zhiliu took the initiative to speak.
But no one paid any attention to her.
She stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to do.
"You city girl, do you even know how to do housework?"
One of the aunties rolled her eyes at Jiang Zhiliu, her eyes full of disdain.
The person next to them covered their mouth and laughed, "She's good at it, this city girl is really good at it."
"It's that kind of work, the kind you do at night."
"Hahaha!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Upon hearing this, all the women in the kitchen burst into laughter."
Jiang Zhiliu felt extremely embarrassed upon hearing this.
But at the same time, I am also very indignant.
These days, she has indeed been trying to please Wu Zhuang every night.
She wanted to use this method to reduce the torment he was inflicting on her.
It can also increase his trust in himself.
This was the only way she could think of to survive.
"Yeah, what's wrong? Don't you guys work at night?"
Jiang Zhiliu retorted, then walked to the stove and squatted down to add firewood.
"Shameless."
"That's right!"
"These city women really don't know any shame."
"Vixen!"
"She's a vixen!"
"You didn't see it that day, Wu Ziqiang and her in the cowshed..."
"Shh, don't say that!"
"If Wu Qiang's wife hears this, they'll start arguing again."
"On such a joyous occasion, let's not cause trouble for others."
Listening to their discussion.
Jiang Zhiliu felt a chill run through her heart.
It turns out that her cries for help that day weren't ignored.
Instead, those people treated it like watching a monkey show.
Everyone in the village probably knows what she's been through these past few days.
Thinking about this...
The last shred of pity in her heart vanished in that instant.
He glanced at the women around him out of the corner of his eye.
The group was still whispering among themselves.
After waiting for about half an hour, the person who washed the vegetables finished and went out to set the table.
Only four or five people were left chopping vegetables in the kitchen.
Seeing that the time was right, Jiang Zhiliu opened the pot lid.
Then he poured in all the rat poison he had secretly hidden a few days earlier.
Her fingers trembled as she frantically stirred the pot with the spatula.
What are you doing?!
Suddenly a man's voice rang out.
He is the village's head chef.
"I……"
Jiang Zhiliu hurriedly put down the spatula in her hand.
Looking at the other person guiltily, she explained, "Well, I was afraid the food in the pot would burn, so..."
"What do you mean 'burnt'? Am I the chef or are you the chef?"
"This is soup, how could soup be cloudy!"
"Do you know how much I hate it when people touch my food?!"
"Get out! Get out!"
As the man spoke, he disdainfully pushed Jiang Zhiliu out the door.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhiliu felt relieved.
She gripped the plastic bag containing the medicine tightly in her hand.
It turns out they didn't discover she had drugged him.
That's good.
Just as he turned to walk back, Wu Zhuang came out of the house next door.
Where to?
He still seemed somewhat distrustful of Jiang Zhiliu.
I had been glancing out the window from time to time, and when I saw Jiang Zhiliu come out of the kitchen, I quickly followed him out.
Jiang Zhiliu looked at Wu Zhuang with a somewhat depressed expression.
"They think I'm in their way."
"There's nothing I can do to help here, so I thought I'd go home and wait for you."
As she spoke, Jiang Zhiliu lowered her head, looking rather aggrieved.
"Okay, I'll call you when it's time to eat."
Wu Zhuang knew the character of the women in the village, so he didn't try to persuade her any further.
Wu Ziqiang's home is not far from Wu Zhuang's home.
Wu Zhuang watched Jiang Zhiliu walk into the house before turning around and continuing with his work.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiliu was trembling all over after closing the door.
My body felt frozen stiff; my teeth were chattering and making a clattering sound as they chattered.
She wanted to calm herself down, so she went to get a drink of water.
Holding the water glass with both hands, the water kept gushing out.
I tilted my head back to drink some water, but found that I was too emotional to swallow.
