Chapter 576: The Original Female Lead’s Counterattack 11
Cao Meng, the round-faced girl with big eyes who shared a room with Yuan Chun.
She had a very good relationship with the original protagonist.
In the past life, when the original protagonist was forced to marry by the village chief’s wife after being embraced by Sha Er, the only people in the Knowledge Youth Courtyard who spoke up for her were Cao Meng and Yan Hui.
However, a strong dragon cannot capture a local snake.
One day, taking advantage that Yan Hui had gone to the county and Cao Meng had gone to the neighboring village to visit a friend, the village chief’s wife forcibly dragged the original protagonist, who had just finished washing clothes by the river, to the Wang family’s house.
By the time Yan Hui and Cao Meng returned, the original protagonist had already been violated by Sha Er.
The original protagonist lost her chastity, felt life was worse than death, and had no face to see Yan Hui again.
Cao Meng once advised the original protagonist to report Sha Er for rape, but after losing her chastity, she seemed to have lost hope in life. Her heart was ashes, like a living corpse, allowing the Wang family to bully her.
After that, Cao Meng often visited the original protagonist.
Seeing the original protagonist’s body covered in wounds, Cao Meng even reported it to the team leader, but the team leader was hesitant to intervene in marital affairs. Moreover, in rural areas, it’s normal for husbands to beat their wives.
Yan Hui knew the original protagonist was living poorly, getting beaten every day, he also went to the commune and the police station to report, but in the countryside, it’s common for men to beat their wives, and even the comrades from the police station could do nothing about the Wang family.
Over time, Cao Meng and Yan Hui, apart from feeling heartbroken for the original protagonist, couldn’t really help her at all.
Back to reality.
Cao Meng smiled, "Congratulations to you and Yan Hui. You two have been together for so long, you’re finally getting married. You must buy wedding candies then, I haven’t had sweets for a long time, can’t wait for your wedding candies to sweeten my mouth."
"Sure, I’ve saved up two pounds of sugar tickets just for this day." Yuan Chun threw a freshly washed shirt into the basin, then picked up a pair of pants to wash.
Cao Meng teased, "You’re eager to get married, if Yan Hui knew, he’d definitely regret not marrying you sooner."
"By the way, Yuan Chun, after you and Yan Hui get married, where do you plan to live? You’re not planning to sleep apart after marriage, are you?"
There were no vacant rooms in the Knowledge Youth Courtyard, and Yuan Chun didn’t plan to live there after getting married.
She said, "I want to build two adobe houses on the vacant land next to the Knowledge Youth Courtyard. I calculated, it won’t cost much, and with Yan Hui, we can scrape together the money."
Cao Meng said, "Yuan Chun, we’re Knowledge Youth from the city, we’ll return to the city sooner or later. If you build a house, you can’t take it with you, it’ll just benefit the villagers."
"We have no choice. Eldest Brother Yan and I want to get married, we can only build a new house or rent an empty house in the village, but the only empty house in the village has collapsed beyond recognition. The repair costs are better spent building two new ones."
"That’s true, we can’t get married and still sleep apart all the time, what would be the point of getting married then." This time, Cao Meng agreed with her viewpoint.
At this moment, Wang Shufang also came with a basin of dirty clothes to wash.
Cao Meng said, "Wang Shufang, why are you only coming now? There’s only half an hour left before work starts."
"I was in the toilet for a while, that’s why I’m late, but I wash quickly, I can make it in time for work." Wang Shufang raised her cold eyes, disdainfully glanced at Yuan Chun who was doing the laundry.
Suddenly, Yuan Chun felt a force pushing her towards the river.
Already prepared, Yuan Chun immediately used her spiritual power to weave into a rope, grabbing the force and violently flinging it, only to hear Wang Shufang’s sharp scream followed by the sound of water splashing, and Wang Shufang fell into the river.
