Chapter 122 The Little Beauty of the 7s (5)
Bai Ruofu shook her head.
She pulled her hand back from Jiang Yunqi's grasp, who was gripping it in his excitement.
"Jiang Yunqi, thank you for saving me from Bai Dashi. I will repay you in other ways in the future."
"But let's call off our marriage."
“I don’t want to break up your family, and my relationship with your mother can never be good again… Jiang Yunqi, please let me go.”
Bai Ruofu left Jiang Yunqi.
Upon returning to the Bai family home, they found the main gate locked from the inside.
Wang Hongxia's voice rang out: "Shameless slut! Now the whole village knows you've been messing around! You still have the nerve to come back? Get as far away from me as you can die!"
Bai Dashi's lewd voice followed closely: "Afu, if all else fails, go to the cowshed. Dad will come see you in a bit..."
Go to the cowshed to see her?
It's probably more than just "looking" at it!
Bai Qiangzhuang, who went to town a few days ago, has returned today.
Fat and lazy.
He was out of breath when he spoke.
I've known since I was little that my older sister was an adopted child, someone I could boss around however I wanted.
Bai Ruofu even witnessed him stealing her clothes...
She did not answer.
The reason I returned to the Bai family home was not because I missed the place so much.
But because...
Not entering the Bai family's residence is tantamount to leaving her with no one behind her.
The men in the village, especially those in their thirties who were still unmarried, would not let her go.
Once you leave the dragon's den, you enter the tiger's lair.
With the blessing of jade dew, she can protect her innocence.
But if a frail woman takes on so many adult men single-handedly and doesn't get hurt, she'll be seen as a monster...
In case we alert the higher-ups again...
Just as she was pondering what to do next, a voice interrupted her.
"Little girl, if you don't mind, come and stay with this old woman..."
Bai Ruofu turned around.
I saw Grandma Yu from the village.
She was once the village's "shaman".
She had predicted the fates of many people, and later events proved that her words were absolutely accurate.
However, there is now a crackdown on feudal superstition.
So everyone kept quiet about it.
But Grandma Yu still held a certain degree of prestige in the village.
No one dared to mess with her, for fear of attracting something unclean.
But Bai Ruofu often brought her wild vegetables or game.
She handled everything in the mountains.
She remembered Grandma Yu's kindness—
When Wang Hongxia became pregnant, she wanted to get rid of Bai Ruofu.
Grandma Yu said that Bai Ruofu was the Bai family's lucky star and had brought her younger brother, so Wang Hongxia and Bai Dashi gave up.
but.
As time passed and feudal superstitions gradually faded from people's view, and Bai Qiangzhuang had grown up, Bai Dashi and Wang Hongxia stopped taking Grandma Yu's words to heart.
If Bai Ruofu hadn't grown up and was able to help with many chores around the house, even plowing the fields...
They won't keep Bai Ruofu.
Bai Ruofu also considered running away.
But beyond the mountains are more mountains, and deeper in those mountains live clever bears that prey on people.
She can't escape.
Bai Ruofu nodded, her eyes moist.
"Thank you, Grandma Yu..."
She could tell that Grandma Yu was walking with an increasingly unsteady gait.
She wanted to go back with Grandma Yu, add the jade dew to the water, and feed it to Grandma Yu.
We'll find a way to leave once Grandma Yu's legs are healed.
We can't stay with Grandma Yu forever; it will cause her trouble.
-
Grandma Yu's house is at the east end of the village. The two of them walked hand in hand along the main road of the village.
With Grandma Yu around, those gossiping people quieted down a bit.
