Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

Deep in the northwestern province of Su, there is a quiet and remote mountain village.

This small mountain village seems to be isolated from the world, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, and has picturesque scenery.

However, in such a seemingly beautiful place, a heart-wrenching thing happened.

Duan Qingzheng was imprisoned in a simple farmhouse. She had not had a drop of water or a grain of rice for two days.

Hunger and thirst eroded her body like demons, causing her already fragile consciousness to gradually become blurred.

Duan Qing opened his eyes with difficulty, trying to keep himself awake, and kept thinking in his mind what exactly had caused him to fall into such a miserable situation.

In fact, she already suffered from some chronic diseases, especially anemia problem which was quite serious.

Whenever she overworked, she would feel dizzy and weak.

When she came to this county town four years ago, she never expected that endless hard work was waiting for her.

From morning to night every day, there seemed to be endless things piling up like mountains, which made her feel breathless.

But the strong Duan Qing gritted his teeth, endured the extreme fatigue of his body, and persisted day after day.

Looking back on the past four years, the hardships and difficulties are beyond words.

During those days, she wanted to give up countless times, but when she thought of the pressure and responsibilities of life, she mustered up the courage to move forward.

Even she herself did not dare to recall the hardships she had experienced in the past, for fear that once she fell into the vortex of memories, she would never be able to break free.

Once, when he was in the most difficult and helpless time, Duan Qing also thought about getting in touch with Cao Xing.

After all, it was Cao Xing who rescued her from distress at the train station.

But she knew very well what hidden meaning lay behind what Cao Xing said to her at the train station that day.

If you want to be redeemed, you have to become Cao Xing's woman!

Such conditions were undoubtedly an insult and trampling to Duan Qing, and she could never accept them.

Therefore, for Duan Qing, as long as she can survive, no matter how much pain and torture she has to endure, she will never easily take a step that goes against her principles and bottom line.

However, fate always seems to play tricks on people.

Now Ma Sande, the director of the county party committee, has set his sights on her.

In Wei County, the reason why Ma Sande, a married man, was able to hold the important position of director of the Wei County Committee was entirely due to the support and assistance of his father-in-law, who held a high position of power in the province.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire Wei County, Ma Sande has the power to cover the sky with one hand.

By chance, Ma Sande went to the commune to inspect work as a routine matter.

On this seemingly ordinary day, the gears of fate turned quietly.

He accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure, that was Duan Qing, a woman from the capital.

Although Duan Qing has become thin due to long-term heavy physical labor, her innate unique temperament has never been erased. She still exudes charming charm, like an orchid in a deep valley, independent and detached from the world.

From that day on, Ma Sande, who had evil intentions, frequently went to the village under the pretext of work, trying to get closer to Duan Qing.

At first, Ma Sande was quite gentlemanly and acted kindly towards women.

As soon as he gave the order, the heavy physical work that Duan Qing had to undertake was instantly reduced by half.

Duan Qing was deeply grateful for Ma Sande's "care".

However, what Duan Qing did not expect was that after just a week or so, Ma Sande finally could not suppress his inner evil desires, and his hideous and ugly true face gradually revealed.

He began to swear and said some disgusting words to Duan Qing.

Seeing that Duan Qing was unmoved, Ma Sande became more and more unscrupulous and even made direct moves on her in an attempt to molest her.

But Ma Sande never expected that Duan Qing, who looked weak, actually had an extremely strong character. Facing his shameless behavior, Duan Qing would rather die than surrender and even threatened with his own life.

This action made Ma Sande feel fearful. After all, Duan Qing came from the capital. If he really caused something serious involving life and death, he might get into trouble.

After weighing the pros and cons, he had to give up for the time being and let Duan Qing go in disappointment.

However, he found out later that although Duan Qing had held a high position in the past, he had no connections now that he had fallen into such a state.

It makes sense. In the old city, people with connections simply cannot leave. Even if they have to go to the countryside, they will not come to such remote places.

Therefore, Ma Sande started to target Duan Qing again.

Ma Sande's situation in Wei County is not as simple as it seems. He has secretly organized a group of thugs and is ruthless.

He first ordered this group of hooligans to rob Duan Qing's house, and then ordered Duan Qing's physical workload to be increased by more than three times.

Due to the intense physical labor and the occasional harassment from the hooligans, Duan Qing was tortured to the point of lying in bed seriously ill.

Even so, she still did not agree to Ma Sande's conditions.

Fortunately, there were many kind people in the small mountain village who secretly gave her herbal medicine, which helped her survive.

Seeing that she refused to submit to him even in this situation, Ma Sande got angry.

He ordered the thugs to break the legs of the man who delivered medicine to Duan Qing, and then locked Duan Qing up in a farmhouse in a small mountain village.

No food or drink will be sent. If Duan Qing doesn't agree, he will starve to death.

Ma Sande had a bad reputation and given previous experience, no one dared to help Duan Qing this time.

Duan Qing has been locked in the farmhouse for two days now.

To be frank, she can't even speak now.

"Who can come and save me? I don't know if that girl Yang Ru received my letter. What will happen to my parents if I die?"

She couldn't help mumbling something, but I couldn't hear what she was saying.

Suddenly, she seemed to hear a scolding coming from outside the door.

"Stop, who are you? No one can come near here without the director's order, otherwise I will break your legs..."

Then there was a sound of fighting, which ended quickly. Soon the door was opened, and Duan Qing didn't have the strength to raise his eyes, but he saw a woman coming in from the corner of his eye.

This woman was none other than Wang Suxia, who had come here from afar.

Wang Suxia did not come here specifically to rescue Duan Qing, but as the number of people going to the countryside increased during this period, Sijiu City needed to connect with these remote areas, and people were needed to come for on-site inspections.

Wang Suxia didn't have to do this kind of business trip, but the location happened to be Wei County in Su Province, so she applied to come directly.
