After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

Jiang Zhiyun closed her eyes, first trying to calm her body's discomfort. She was already somewhat numb from being hit.

These thugs were clearly hired by someone, and they came specifically to target them; it was very purposeful. Now, there's no escaping it.

There was only one big tree nearby, with vines hanging from it. It looked very sturdy, and we might be able to use it later.

Many people ran away, and the other vendors even wore gloating expressions.

"Look how arrogant and powerful they are! But they've only got these two tricks up their sleeves, haven't they?"

"Now that they've encountered such a terrible situation, the two of them are completely doomed. They have nothing left, and I'm afraid they won't be able to keep this little business afloat."

"Doesn't that give us a chance?"

"..."

Deep down, they were somewhat hoping that something would happen to the mother and daughter, so that one of their stalls would be vacant and everyone could sell noodles without them, allowing everyone to make money.

So even those who could help won't go right now.

He wanted to see Jiang Zhiyun get into trouble.

It wasn't for any other reason than that's human nature. When someone's down on their luck, everyone pushes them down, and coincidentally, the two of them were blocking someone else's path to wealth.

Thus, Zhang kept an eye on the tools and equipment; the driver of the oxcart had already run away. The things were left behind.

The burly man remembered the task the girl had given him: "Smash! Smash it as hard as you can!"

"What kind of junk is this? It's just stuff sold at street stalls, isn't it?"

"Young lady, don't blame us. We're just doing this for the money. That young lady who looks like you sent us to do it!"

Jiang Zhiyun had already thought of it before: who else besides Jiang Zhiwan could have a grudge against her?

I never expected that my older sister, with whom I grew up, even if we didn't get along, would do something so horrific.

Looking back now, I realize she had overestimated human nature.

This eldest sister still gave her a huge surprise.

Jiang Zhiyun stared blankly as the things she had carefully prepared were smashed to pieces by these burly men.

All around were clanging and rattling sounds, fragmented, noisy, and mostly jarring.

Zhang clenched her fists, her face filled with grief and indignation!

"Heavens above! We just wanted to do business, and you've all ruined us. How are we supposed to survive now?"

Everyone here is a small, struggling family. They've only been making money for about half a month, and now someone has overturned their business: "What time is this? What kind of junk is this?"

"I, Zhang, will fight you despicable people to the death."

Zhang Meiqing was not one to sit idly by and wait for death. She had managed to come this far from being exiled for three thousand miles. Even without martial arts skills, she had her own methods.

The burly man with a thick beard who was restraining her didn't take Zhang Meiqing, a weak woman who couldn't even kill a chicken, seriously at all.

With utter disdain, he grabbed it with only one hand: "What a piece of junk, and a chaste and virtuous woman at that."

"You guys are just casually setting up a street stall. You should go back home and be good wives and mothers. What kind of business are you trying to run?"

There was laughter around her after she finished speaking. Taking advantage of the fact that the burly man with the thick beard wasn't paying attention, Zhang quickly bit his hand.

This wasn't an ordinary bite; she deliberately targeted the spot that bled the most and bit down hard, leaving her mouth covered in blood.

The person immediately let go because of the pain.

"Damn it! You stinking woman!"

When he let go, he realized what was happening and tried to grab her with his other hand, but Zhang, who was fleeing for her life, seemed like a completely different person.

Their movements and agility were frightening.

The burly man with the thick beard reached up and grabbed, so she crawled on the ground. She crawled down to the burly man with the goatee who was grabbing Jiang Zhiyun, and then grabbed his foot and started gnawing on it.

"Ah!" The burly man with the goatee instinctively reached out to touch his wound.

Jiang Zhiyun escaped from his control. Jiang Zhiyun had already observed the surrounding environment.

She had been gathering her strength, and now she jumped with all her might, pulling herself up onto the vine beside her. She had planned out the exact angle for her jump, and now she was gripping the vine.

It only swayed once before the vines began to give way.

Just as she was about to fall, Jiang Zhiyun was prepared and threw the object at the end furthest from the group of strong men.

It doesn't matter if it's thrown a little further away, she needs to get out first and deal with these scumbags.

There's always a way; there's always a solution.

Jiang Zhiyun originally thought she would have a close encounter with the ground, and if she was lucky enough that her bones wouldn't break, she would ride back to save her mother.

As expected, my back slammed to the ground, but instead of feeling pain, I landed in a steady embrace.

Only when the horse neighed did Jiang Zhiyun realize that Xie Shuheng had come on horseback.

Originally, I was prepared to fight to the death, but now that I've seen Xie Shuheng, I feel more at ease than ever before.

He held the soft sword in his hand, as if it were his usual weapon.

He grabbed Yunniang's waist and turned her over, placing her in front of him.

He asked, "Are you scared?"

“I’m not afraid.” Jiang Zhiyun raised her eyebrows and said, “I can ride horses too.”

Then the two looked at each other and saw trust in each other's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Shuheng dismounted and walked towards them with his soft sword in hand.

Several burly men, their faces menacing, pressed closer. Then the man with the goatee punched him, but Xie Shuheng dodged to the side, skillfully avoiding the blow. At the same time, he swung his sword, the blade flashing coldly through the air.

His movements were swift and precise, each strike carrying a deadly threat. The burly man with the thick beard attempted to attack from behind, but he seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, quickly turning around, blocking the attack with the blade of his sword, and using the momentum to knock his opponent back.

Before long, the burly men were covered in wounds: "No, this guy seems to be toying with us. He's too strong."

Then Jiang Zhiyun rode his horse and found a long spear somewhere.

Seizing the opportunity, she steered her horse forward, her lance flashing like lightning, striking one of the burly men squarely in the groin. Then came the second, the third…

Xie Shuheng deliberately beat everyone to a pulp, and then Jiang Zhiyun came to finish them off.

Then the couple dismounted from their horse and helped Zhang up.

Zhang was shocked by Yunniang's appearance just now.

Zhang Shi never expected Yun Niang to be so capable. She had never seen her so heroic and determined before.

She was like a female general on the battlefield.

Xie Shuheng was a trained martial artist, and upon closer inspection, he noticed that Jiang Zhiyun's fingers were still trembling. He also noticed that she had used too much force earlier, and her hands felt strained, making it difficult for her to close them properly.

Xie Shuheng picked up her red and swollen hands to examine them: "Does it hurt?"

She shook her head stiffly, feeling that she hadn't been cared for like this in a long time.

I'm a little stunned now.

He rubbed it with his hand, then took her hand and said, "Let's boil some eggs and apply it when we get home."

"Oh... um." Jiang Zhiyun nodded. Zhang Shi stood to the side, "Yunniang, what happened to your hand?"
