Chapter 415: Chapter 411: Everyone is Against Her
Xu Wenwan’s gaze grew increasingly venomous. ’I swear, I’m going to make this family pay for this.’
Chen Xiumin struck her a few times, then stopped.
Xu Wenwan’s back injury hadn’t healed yet, and she couldn’t very well beat her to death, could she?
When Village Chief Xu saw his wife stop, he immediately ordered, "Lock her door. She is not to leave the house a single step until she is married."
Chen Xiumin didn’t say a word. She called her two sons over, and they carried Xu Wenwan into her room. The lock fell into place with a CLANG.
Now, surely Xu Wenwan couldn’t go out and embarrass the family anymore!
In her room, Xu Wenwan wiped away tears of anger.
As she cried, Xu Wenwan cursed them all to die horrible deaths.
’This whole family is just here to hold me back.’
’Ever since I transmigrated into this book, not a single thing has gone my way. If I weren’t so mentally tough, I probably would have broken down long ago.’
’Damn it. They want me to give in? Impossible.’
Even as she cursed, Xu Wenwan began to rally her spirits.
In the system space, the System was worried its host would get too depressed and was about to offer a few words of comfort when it heard her rally herself.
’Good. I can save the comforting words.’
’This host I’m bound to may be a slow, brainless wonder when it comes to completing missions, but her survivability is on par with a cockroach.’
’She knows how to comfort herself, how to hype herself up. I guess that counts as a strength.’
The System was relieved.
After the incident with Xu Wenwan, Village Chief Xu called his two sons into a room.
He didn’t call his daughters-in-law.
The matter was too disgraceful; Village Chief Xu was too embarrassed to even mention it in front of his daughters-in-law.
Xu Chongfeng and Xu Chongshan sat in their chairs. Village Chief Xu took a puff from his long-stemmed pipe before speaking slowly.
"You both know what your sister is thinking. You must watch her closely. I’ve already told Yun Hao to come make a formal proposal. Before he does, do not let her take a single step out of the house."
Xu Chongfeng and Xu Chongshan exchanged a look. It seemed they wanted to say something, but in the end, they said nothing and just acknowledged the order.
If Xu Wenwan were well-behaved and sensible, they might not have wanted her to marry so quickly. They might have even wanted to test Yun Hao first.
But now, after everything that had happened, they no longer had the heart for any of that.
’Since Xu Wenwan likes Yun Hao, just marry her off quickly!’
’As for Yun Hao, he was the one who ruined a girl’s reputation. He can only blame himself for not being more careful.’
「At the Educated Youth Quarters.」
Yun Hao agonized for a whole day but still couldn’t think of a solution. Finally, he hunched over his desk and wrote a letter to his parents.
He had never asked his parents for anything his entire life. This time, he hoped they could get him sent back to the city.
Although Yun Hao was an educated youth, he was still under the village’s jurisdiction. With Village Chief Xu as the head of the village, it would be all too easy for him to make trouble. The only way to get away from Xu Wenwan was to leave.
Yun Hao filled two whole pages, then sealed the letter in an envelope, ready to mail it from the County Town.
He didn’t tell anyone he was leaving, only giving Hu Ziqiang a heads-up.
Hu Ziqiang had mixed feelings.
He, Yun Hao, and Xu Wenwan had grown up together, and their relationship had always been great.
He had even witnessed the affection between Xu Wenwan and Yun Hao with his own eyes.
When they first came to the countryside, Gu Jiaojiao was so beautiful that he’d been stunned. Later, Gu Jiaojiao fell for Yun Hao and pursued him relentlessly, but Yun Hao always refused her.
Hu Ziqiang had thought that Yun Hao must have really liked Xu Wenwan to keep rejecting Gu Jiaojiao.
He had thought Yun Hao and Xu Wenwan would surely end up together. He never imagined that now, just to avoid marrying Xu Wenwan, Yun Hao would be willing to give up on his dreams.
He was avoiding Xu Wenwan like the plague.
’How did things ever get to this point?’
