Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

This time Li Chuntao was truly scared.

There were three people on the other side; she couldn’t escape, and there were no stones around to fight with.

At this moment, she could only shout, "Help, help, Yang Dong, come quick and save me..."

But before she could shout a few times, her mouth was covered, and tears streamed down as she struggled.

She regretted it immensely at that moment, feeling she had been foolish to the extreme. She didn’t know where she was going and wasn’t familiar with the roads in the County, so why did she run?

Li Chuntao’s cries for help greatly displeased the three villains. "What are you shouting for? No one can save you, behave yourself," one of them said.

Li Chuntao’s mouth was covered, so she could only struggle and cry with muffled sobs.

She watched as a hand reached out to grab her, and she closed her eyes in fear.

But what she expected didn’t happen; instead, she was released.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the three assailants surrounding someone.

On a closer look, it was Yang Dong! He came to rescue her.

She didn’t know why, but she was so moved that she cried tears of joy.

At that moment, she heard Yang Dong shout, "You go first."

Then he started fighting with those three. In fact, Yang Dong asked Li Chuntao to leave first mainly because he feared he wasn’t skilled enough to take on three people, but he had to buy her time to escape.

Li Chuntao couldn’t bring herself to leave first. She was terribly worried and kept thinking about how she could help, but she found there was nothing she could do but watch.

Seeing that Li Chuntao refused to leave, Yang Dong became frantic and could only fight with all his might.

"Perfect timing, we’ve been watching you two for a while now. Leave the jade hairpin and get lost," one of the thugs shouted.

These three thugs had seen Yang Dong and Li Chuntao obtain the jade hairpin at the lantern festival, which sparked their evil intentions, so they followed them. When they saw Li Chuntao alone, they seized the opportunity and surrounded her.

They merely wanted to rob them and hadn’t actually planned on violating Li Chuntao. They reached out only to snatch the jade hairpin from Li Chuntao’s head.

Hearing this, Li Chuntao suddenly realized and quickly said, "Stop fighting, I’ll give you the jade hairpin, just stop."

But when Yang Dong heard this, he wasn’t pleased. Even if it cost him his life, he wouldn’t give up the jade hairpin, as it symbolized him and Li Chuntao as a couple. So he was filled with energy, fighting fiercely as he said, "If you want the jade hairpin, there’s no way."

This made Li Chuntao anxious. The jade hairpin was just a material possession; their lives were more important. So she shouted to Yang Dong, "Give them the hairpin, stop fighting, stop it."

Yang Dong didn’t listen and continued in the chaotic brawl.

Seeing this, Li Chuntao had no choice but to run to the neighboring street to call for help.

Luckily, there were still people on the neighboring street.

Pleading earnestly with them,

everyone finally came over, causing the thugs to panic and flee when they saw people approaching.

Seeing Yang Dong sitting on the ground gasping for air, seemingly unhurt, Li Chuntao thanked the people who helped and then went to Yang Dong’s side.

"Are you stupid or what? I told you to give them the jade hairpin, but you wouldn’t listen and fought with them..."

Despite her incessant scolding, Yang Dong wasn’t angry. Instead, he was grinning because they managed to keep the jade hairpin symbolizing their relationship.

Seeing him smile, Li Chuntao was speechless. "Can you stand? If you can, let’s hurry back now."
