Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Li Xiulan still held Wang Zhanggen's phone, which he had already hung up. Outside at the village entrance, the old men and women whispered and gossiped, their gazes toward Li Xiulan all carrying strange looks.

After Liao Chunhua made such a scene, Li Xiulan was afraid that even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she could not wash herself clean.

The most fatal thing was that this matter would surely spread through the old men and women's word of mouth, quickly circulating through the entire village.

Li Xiulan felt she had no face to meet people.

After leaving the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, she kept her head down, buried her face, and hurried home.

And that crazy woman Liao Chunhua, after paying the Supply and Marketing Cooperative boss the long-distance phone bill, left with a triumphant air, smug and pleased.

She wanted exactly this effect; she wanted everyone in the village to know this matter.

She wanted Li Xiulan and He Dazhu, that pair of shameless man and woman, to never again be able to hold their heads up in the village!

Because of this matter, when Li Xiulan went to pick mulberry leaves in the afternoon, she was absent-minded and did not pick enough mulberry leaves to fill four snake skin bags all afternoon.

Her husband said he would be back in a few days. Was this distrust of her? Her husband did not trust her, so would all kinds of conflicts arise in the future?

How should she explain things clearly?

Li Xiulan picked mulberry leaves and returned. While feeding mulberry leaves to the silkworm babies in the silkworm room, she indulged in such wild thoughts.

This made her very miserable, more miserable than morning sickness.

She never would have thought that simply going to ask He Dazhu for help with some things would cause such trouble.

Even more ridiculous was that He Dazhu had not helped her at all from beginning to end!

If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to find He Dazhu!

It's just a pity there is no regret medicine to take in this world.

"Li Xiulan, feeding silkworms?"

At this moment, a middle-aged greasy voice came from outside the silkworm room.

Li Xiulan put away her wild thoughts, looked up, and discovered that Yang Dafu had somehow walked in.

"Yang Dafu, get the hell out!"

Li Xiulan said nothing more and directly told Yang Dafu to get lost.

This middle-aged greasy man, although he was the Women's Federation Director of the village, had never provided her, a weak woman, with the slightest help, but instead wanted to use her illegal pregnancy to manipulate her and take advantage of her!

"Don't be so angry. If He Dazhu can play around, why can't I, Yang Dafu?"

Yang Dafu's face was full of lewd and wanton smiles.

Li Xiulan's delicate body trembled, her face turning white with anger:

"What nonsense are you talking!"

Yang Dafu sneered:

"Stop pretending. Now everyone in the village knows that you and He Dazhu are having an affair. I didn't expect you to look so chaste, but it's all an act. Inside, you're actually more wanton than anyone! Here's what I'll do: I'll give you one more chance. At ten o'clock tonight, I'll come to your home to find you. If you don't satisfy my wishes by then, then next time when I bring the Family Planning Office people over, it won't be as simple as a raid. I'll also have them take you for a forced abortion!"

Hearing this, Li Xiulan was immediately struck as if by lightning.

At that moment, she was truly afraid.

Because she knew that Yang Dafu, the Women's Federation Director of the village, really had the ability to have the Family Planning Office people come and arrest her for a forced abortion.

After all, she had already given birth over the quota, and now family planning enforcement was so strict.

"At ten o'clock tonight, I hope you can voluntarily wash yourself clean and wait for me!"

After saying this, Yang Dafu turned and left with a smug and pleased face.

This time, he had Li Xiulan in his grasp.

After Yang Dafu left, Li Xiulan stood there blankly for a long time.

Facing this situation, she truly did not know what to do!

Originally she could have asked He Dazhu to help her deal with Yang Dafu, but now the rumors about her and He Dazhu had spread throughout the entire village. If she asked He Dazhu for help at this time, wouldn't that just further confirm that they had an impure relationship?

But if she didn't ask He Dazhu for help, who should she ask?

She was a pregnant woman and simply could not deal with Yang Dafu!

Did she really have to submit to Yang Dafu tonight?

Li Xiulan was in utter despair.

She didn't know what to do, truly didn't know what to do!

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

Li Xiulan finally cried out.

Her crying was full of helplessness.

Life was already not easy, why did she have to encounter these rotten things?

Li Xiulan truly did not know what she had done wrong, for the heavens to punish her like this!

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it was ten o'clock at night.

Li Xiulan sat anxiously in the living room.

She did not turn on the light. Dim moonlight streamed through the broken window, falling just on her face, adding a few shades of gloomy paleness to her face.

The two children had already been put to sleep by her.

The large old house was silent and quiet.

She locked the courtyard gate tightly, bolted the living room door, and placed a kitchen knife on the table.

She had already made up her mind: if Yang Dafu truly dared to forcibly break in and violate her, she would hack him to death with the knife!

No matter what, she absolutely could not let Yang Dafu succeed!

Just then, a faint sound of a door being pushed came from the courtyard gate outside.

It was clearly Yang Dafu arriving.

Yang Dafu arrived at Li Xiulan's front gate, pushed the courtyard main gate, discovered it would not open, and immediately his face showed displeasure:

"This stinking woman, putting on noble airs for me! She actually dares to lock the door against me — truly outrageous!"

Yang Dafu kicked the courtyard main gate with force; the door let out a "Boom—" sound, the door did not open, but he was instead bounced back by the door, staggered backward, and fell flat on his buttocks.

"Li Xiulan, I know you're inside, you hurry up and open the door for me!"

Yang Dafu scrambled up in a sorry state, patted the dust off his buttocks, and shouted.

Yet no response came from inside the house.

Li Xiulan gripped the kitchen knife tightly, her face pale, her eyes full of fear.

Yang Dafu was so angry he gritted his teeth, his face twisted and ferocious.

Immediately afterward he climbed over the wall to get in.

A rural courtyard's surrounding wall was originally not very high, merely meant to keep chickens, ducks, and dogs from running loose; it could not stop a thief at all, let alone a lecher like Yang Dafu.

So Yang Dafu quickly climbed into the courtyard and arrived at the living room main gate.

He pushed the door.

The living room door was also locked from inside.

"Your grandmother's!"

Yang Dafu cursed.

This time he had learned his lesson; he did not use his foot to directly kick the door.

Instead he fetched from the courtyard a thick log as thick as a bowl's mouth and over two meters long, hugged the log, and rammed it against the door.

With a "Boom—", the living room main gate was smashed open.

Yang Dafu groped his way inside; just as he stepped over the threshold, he saw a figure, holding a kitchen knife flashing with cold light, chopping down at him!

Yang Dafu was greatly alarmed and lost all color!

In haste he barely managed to dodge.

Scared him into a full-body shiver!

Li Xiulan was with child, originally already inconvenient to move.

As a result this slash of hers cut empty air, and she immediately stumbled forward.

Nearly fell to the ground.

After Yang Dafu reacted, quick-eyed and quick-handed, he seized Li Xiulan's wrist in one grab and knocked the kitchen knife from her hand at once.

Then from behind he pinned her neck, pressing her head against the door panel.

"Stinking woman, you actually dare to hack me — you're courting death!"

Li Xiulan, wrist seized and neck pinned, trembled all over, simply could not resist.

Yang Dafu roughly tore at her clothes, tore at her wedding dress.

He had already been completely enraged, throwing all caution aside, wanting to forcibly have his way with Li Xiulan right then.

"No, please, no..."

Li Xiulan could only weep and bitterly beg.

At that moment, she even had the thought of wanting to die.
