I heard that after I left, Xiuying was first jilted and then ridiculed by everyone. Eventually, unable to bear the blow, she lost her sanity and drowned in a lake on a rainy night.
Shock, anger, helplessness, and suffocation intertwined in my heart, making me feel worse than death.
Because of this incident, Panhu Village joined forces with several other villages to publicly declare that they did not welcome me. President Li's investment was collectively vetoed by the board, and even Qingshui Village, which took me in, faced malicious targeting from others.
I began to have nightmares night after night, and every time I picked up a pair of scissors, Xiuying's face would appear before me.
After isolating myself for half a month, I ultimately decided to leave this place of turmoil.
But Village Head Zhang, stubbornly held onto my luggage, refusing to let me go.
"Village Head, please let me leave. I really can't drag you down any longer."
"Nonsense! When have you ever dragged us down? If you run away now, that's what will drag us down. Don't pay attention to those rumors online; just focus on what you need to do!"
"Village Head, I..."
"Listen to me. Go back and get some sleep. Tomorrow morning, I'll find a way for you. Go!"
I was "escorted" back, and Zhang even moved a chair to sit in front of my bed to watch over me as I slept.
I don't know how long I slept that night when suddenly I heard a woman crying. The sound was mournful and sorrowful, just like Xiuying's.
In the next moment, Xiuying appeared right in front of me!
She was dripping wet and had a tight grip around my neck.
I wanted to run, but my legs wouldn't move at all.
My face turned red from her grip, and I couldn't make a sound.
She slowly released me, but the next second, she suddenly pushed me into the lake.
The icy water instantly jolted me awake from my bed!
I was drenched in sweat, gasping for breath.
Fortunately, it was just a dream.
But before I could collect myself, a female voice suddenly came from behind me: "Tell me, what did you just dream about?"
It was Zhang Xiaohong, the village head's daughter, who had been forced upon me as an apprentice by Village Head Zhang.
Even though I had sworn not to take on any more apprentices, I couldn't resist Village Head Zhang's insistence.
Given the previous experience, I demanded that she leave as soon as it got dark, absolutely no drinking, and she had to keep her distance at all times.
Despite my carefulness, I still found myself the subject of gossip from those with ill intentions.
"Brother Zhou Zheng, don't listen to their nonsense. Next time they talk about me, I'll tear their mouths apart!"
Xiaohong, the little girl, appeared delicate on the outside, but her personality was fiery and decisive—sometimes even more fierce than a man.
The key point was that she meant what she said; she really would tear apart those who gossiped about her!
While I was in the restroom, I saw her getting into a fight with a stout woman. Xiaohong shouted fiercely, "You spread rumors about me before, and now you dare to bully Brother Zhou Zheng? Just because you have some connection with Hua Xiaobei, you think you can disrespect me? Watch me tear your mouth apart today!"
It took a lot of effort from me and the villagers to pull them apart. The stout woman had her face scratched up by Zhang Xiaohong and was furious, shouting, "You bastards! You two adulterers better watch out! If I don't get my revenge today, I’ll be your grandson!"
Everyone laughed at her tough talk, but who would have thought that that very night, Hua Xiaobei would come with his men.
"Hua Xiaobei, you're someone of status now. Are you really going to lay hands on a little girl over some trivial remarks? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Heh, in Panhu Village, we value unity and loyalty. Since she dared to strike first, she shouldn't be afraid..."
"Not good! Not good! Hua Ge, your son fell into the lake!"
