My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

The young woman said that her in-laws didn't say anything to her, but the villagers started gossiping, saying that she had been married for several months but had no baby, and that she was a barren hen.

The key issue is that once you go to your husband's family home, you still have to work from dawn till dusk.

The young woman said, "I really don't understand why people get married. It's not like my family doesn't have work to do, so why do I have to marry into my husband's family?"

Shen Yu couldn't help but think of herself.

Although she disliked her mother-in-law and husband's behavior, they had never scolded her since they got married. When people in the village wentssiped, her mother-in-law scolded them back.

She worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk at her parents' home, but at the Zhou family's house, she could sleep until noon without anyone saying a bad word about her.

Compared to others, she married well?

but……

She doesn't like Zhou Jingyi.

Thinking of her ideal type, Shen Yu pursed her lips, a faint smile appearing on her face.

Lost in her own world, Shen Yu didn't notice at all that the people returning home from the market had disappeared.

The trees hadn't sprouted any new leaves; most of them were bare.

There wasn't even the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.

It was eerily quiet.

"That woman has a nice figure. I wonder which family she belongs to. If I could get my hands on her, my life would be worth it." A disgusting voice came from behind.

"Hehe, Dog Bro, are you feeling all lovey-dovey?" came another disgusting voice.

Shen Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked around.

Behind me were two lewd-looking men whispering amongst themselves.

And there was no one else around except her.

Those disgusting words were clearly directed at her.

Shen Yu immediately panicked and quickened her pace.

"Look, that butt is swaying back and forth, it's trying to seduce me."

The two sleazy-looking men quickened their pace.

With no one around, Shen Yu was afraid that the two people would do something reckless.

If I fall into their hands, my life will be ruined.

She took off running.

The two people behind him also ran.

Shen Yu was sweating profusely and was about to give up, but they hadn't even reached Qingshui Village yet.

In a panic, I stepped into a ditch and twisted my ankle badly.

"Ah—" Shen Yu fell to the ground, and the pain in her ankle prevented her from standing up.

"Girl, girl, are you alright?" Two lewd men surrounded her.

Shen Yu stared at them warily. "What do you want?"

"I want to help you," one of them said with a wicked grin, revealing a frightening array of yellow teeth.

"do not come!"

At this moment, Shen Yu was like a lone little white rabbit, and everyone who saw her wanted to catch her.

Just as the two men were about to take advantage of her, a ray of sunlight broke through the dark clouds in Shen Yuxin's heart.

"What are you doing!" A man in a blue robe ran over, carrying a large rock.

The two sleazy men immediately fled in panic like rats.

"Miss Shen, are you alright?" the man asked gently, having dropped the stone.

Shen Yu burst into tears, but when he saw that the person who saved him was Gu Ming, he smiled through his tears.

Her face flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly. "Brother Gu, thank you for saving me."

"It's best for a young lady like you not to go out alone." Gu Ming squatted down, patted Shen Yu's dusty clothes, and then reached out his hand to her.

Shen Yu's heart raced, and she slowly reached out her hand.

"are you OK?"

"Oh no," Shen Yu said, her voice trembling with tears. "I twisted my ankle, it's really bad."

"Let me see?" Gu Ming asked.

Shen Yu nodded, then shook her head, "That's not appropriate."

"Can you walk?"

Shen Yu shook her head.

"I...I'll carry you back?"

Shen Yu's heart raced again; it wasn't appropriate for a man and a woman to be together.

However, there is no more suitable solution at the moment.

She couldn't very well have Gu Ming help her back; she had to hop back on one foot.

However, Shen Yu was afraid of being seen by others.

She could use this to get the Zhou family to divorce her, but that would damage her reputation.

When Shen Yu hesitated, Gu Ming squatted down in front of her and said, "Take the back path. I'll put you down outside the village so no one can see you."

Shen Yu pursed her lips and reached out to wrap her arms around Gu Ming's neck.

He was thin but strong; even when carrying her, he didn't wobble or pant.
