As soon as I got home, Lin Yu returned from outside.
Upon seeing me, he called a few people over and gave me a beating. “You really dared to run away!”
I pretended to be angry and looked at him. “Lin Yu, I didn’t want to escape; I’ve been at home all along.”
“You’re lying! Wang Qiang said you stole the keys to run away.”
Wang Qiang also arrived, looking smug as he stared at me. “Xu Kun, you dog! I told you not to escape, but you insisted. Now look, you’ve been caught red-handed!”
I stepped up to him, grabbed his shirt, and shoved him hard. “Wang Qiang, stop slandering me! If I wanted to run, I would have done it long ago—why would I wait until now?”
I turned my gaze to the women in the village. “I don’t have the keys on me; you can search me if you want. But you should also check Wang Qiang—maybe the keys are with him. He’s the one who wants to escape!”
Wang Qiang looked at me incredulously. “What nonsense are you spouting? Where would I have the keys?”
Lin Yu also looked at me in confusion.
I spoke confidently, “Last time you wanted to run away, I kindly helped you, and now you’re slandering me? And now this again—are you trying to run away and make me your scapegoat?”
Jiang Li, having heard my words, grabbed Wang Qiang and insisted on searching him.
Sure enough, they found the keys in Wang Qiang’s pocket.
Wang Qiang panicked and said, “No, it’s not like that!”
But Jiang Li didn’t listen; he led the village women to beat Wang Qiang mercilessly. “Beat him to death and then throw him out for the wolves.”
Wang Qiang was dragged away, wailing.
I shot a cold glance at Lin Yu before leaving.
Realizing he had misunderstood me, Lin Yu chased after me. “Xu Kun, let me explain! I didn’t know it was like this.”
Behind us came Wang Qiang’s cries and the excited voices of the women. “Another one trying to escape—he deserves it.”
"Deserved it, dying is for the best."
I quietly walked into the house, wiping the sweat from my forehead. A sigh escaped my lips; thankfully, I had been quick enough to slip the key into Wang Qiang's pocket. Otherwise, it would have been me taking the beating.
But even if Wang Qiang got caught, he had a thousand excuses to brush Jiang Li off. Yet, he chose to betray me!
The next day, I ran into Jiang Li. She was pushing a cart with a bulging black bag on it. I pretended not to see her, but she blocked my path.
"Xu Kun, out wandering again?"
I responded with a nonchalant "mm." I couldn't be bothered to engage with her and tried to walk around her, but then I caught sight of what was inside the black bag.
It was… Wang Qiang.
"What… what happened?"
She chuckled, "He went down without a fight."
"Is he dead?!" I looked at Zhang Li in shock.
She shrugged, "Yeah! No money, so I need to find a new husband."
I glanced at Wang Qiang's lifeless body and gritted my teeth. "I have a way for you to get pregnant without having to buy a man."
"What method?"
She excitedly stepped closer and grabbed my arm.
I whispered, "Isn't there still a ready man in the village?"
She released me and pondered as she pushed the cart away.
The next day, Jiang Li dragged me to her house for dinner. She got straight to the point and asked how I planned to win over Yang Fan.
She pushed the chicken leg in front of me and asked with a grin, “Xu Kun, how do I go about that Yang Fan you mentioned?”
I took a bite of the chicken leg and replied, “Just give Yang Fan some soft bone powder and a little aphrodisiac. Then he’ll be yours, and you’ll have a child in no time.”
Jiang Li looked a bit worried. “But what if the women in the village can’t find any men? Won’t they have objections?”
“Just tie him up first. Once the deed is done, it’s too late to turn back. Later on, we can find another man to send over. Who wouldn’t want to earn some money? Don’t you think?”
