The village tyrant was just annoyed that Wen Ruhua was always criticizing him as if he had done something to greatly outrage the world. He disliked the way Wen Ruhua judged him as if he was some righteous hero that was refusing to yield to the forces of evil.
The village tyrant only tried to obtain Mu Yanmeng to annoy Wen Ruhua and warn him not to be so arrogant on his territory.
However, Wen Ruhua was angered to death and took this out on Mu Yanmeng. That very night, he raped Mu Yanmeng, saying something like, since you want a man so much, I’ll kindly fulfill you.
He felt a lot of contempt for Mu Yanmeng. When he discovered that she wasn’t a virgin, he disdained her even more and finished up the job quick. As he pulled his pants back on, he continued to hurl abuse at Mu Yanmeng, who at that point, already wanted to die.
After he raped Mu Yanmeng, Wen Ruhua faced the village tyrant with his chest lifted like justice was on his side as he said, so what if you were the village tyrant? Even if you got Mu Yanmeng, all you were getting was my used shoes.
Mu Yanmeng never thought that she would still encounter this sort of fate even after she had been disfigured. When it occurred to her that she would have to continue facing this kind of treatment, she decided to commit suicide.
So she hung herself, but Wen Ruhua rescued her. Wen Ruhua threatened her and said that if she tried to kill herself again, he’d give her to the village tyrant. Even if all there was left was a corpse, he’d still send her over for the village tyrant to abuse.
Mu Yanmeng was so frightened that she didn’t dare to try and commit suicide again. Thus, they continued living together.
The result when a man and a woman lived below the same roof was obvious, especially if they had already passed fourth base. From time to time, Wen Ruhua would tumble with Mu Yanmeng. He found the sensation refreshing, but in his heart, Mu Yanmeng was just a convenient prostitute for him to relieve his physiologic desires. He didn’t consider her as an equal at all.
Ning Shu sucked in a breath like she felt a toothache. Mu Yanmeng really was pitiful. She was implicated in things for no reason wherever she went, and she always ended up with the bad end of the stick.
Wen Ruhua was a beast in human skin. How could he feel proud to bully a disfigured woman? As he forced himself on her, he still had the nerve to show contempt for her? It was ridiculous.
And this was nothing compared to later. Even the village tyrant felt pity for Mu Yanmeng with the way Wen Ruhua treated her, so he offered to help send her away.
When Wen Ruhua, who was heading back from the school, saw the village tyrant and Mu Yanmeng together, he immediately took the situation the wrong way and rushed into his home to pull out his ancestral sword. He swung it haphazardly at the village tyrant without even asking about the situation, and in the end, accidently stabbed it into Mu Yanmeng’s stomach.
It turned out that Mu Yanmeng had been pregnant and she started bleeding everywhere. Wen Ruhua was dumbstruck. Mu Yanmeng’s heart turned to ash and she jumped straight into the river in front of the house. All the villagers searched the river for several days, but they couldn’t find her corpse.
Wen Ruhua became extremely dispirited. He only realized that he had fallen in love with Mu Yanmeng after she had disappeared. After suffering another big blow from life, he felt the urge to throw himself in the river as well.
However, the village chief stopped him and spouted a huge ton about how the school’s children needed him, how they wouldn’t be able to do anything without him.
So then, Wen Ruhua said in his heart, Yanmeng, because people need me, I have no choice but to continue living. When the time comes, I’ll go find you. I love you, and blah blah blah…
Ning Shu wasn’t just breathing hard now, she had to keep wiping away cold sweat. When Yue Lan saw that Ning Shu’s forehead was covered with cold sweat, she hastily pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her face as she asked, “Miss, what’s wrong?”
#comment: gross. kill. The only plus is that Ning Shu’s narration is easy to type up.
