Seeing Chen Yansheng’s actions and his aggressive gaze, Yu Bingjie panicked.
She knew that expression all too well.
That night in the mountain god temple, Chen Yansheng was in this state after being drugged.
So many days have passed, why is Chen Yansheng still acting this way?
“Could it be that the animal drug was too potent, and some residue remained in their bodies, causing it to take effect only now?”
Yu Bingjie thought to herself.
But it’s daytime now, and people can come and go at any time in the lakeside park.
If Chen Yansheng and I were to do something here and get caught, even if we were a couple, we would still be arrested for the impact of the incident.
“Yansheng, wake up! We can’t stay here…”
Thinking of this, Yu Bingjie quickly patted Chen Yansheng’s face, trying to bring him back to his senses.
However, Chen Yansheng’s mind had already been affected by the side effects of the Mountain God’s Decree, and it was not something that Yu Bingjie could awaken with just a few words.
Chen Yansheng’s eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed Yu Bingjie and tried to force a kiss on her.
Upon seeing this, Yu Bingjie bit her lip and slapped Chen Yansheng across the face with her fair hand: “Yansheng, wake up!”
“I don’t want to be forced!”
Yu Bingjie’s voice was choked with emotion.
If it were in the mountain god temple before, she wanted to give her first time to Chen Yansheng, so she didn’t care that Chen Yansheng had taken the drug.
But now, in front of so many people, she really didn’t want to do it.
It was as if she didn’t want to be forced to marry Wang Mazi.
Hearing Yu Bingjie’s cries, Chen Yansheng suddenly came to his senses and released Yu Bingjie.
“Bingjie, I…”
Seeing Yu Bingjie’s eyes filled with tears and her frightened appearance, Chen Yansheng felt a pang of guilt.
“Yansheng, I know you didn’t do it on purpose. You were just controlled by the effects of the animal drug that remained in your body.”
Yu Bingjie said softly: “Shall we wash our faces and calm down first?”
Seeing that Yu Bingjie didn’t blame herself, but instead advised her to wash her face and clear her head.
Chen Yansheng felt that his actions just now were utterly beastly!
He secretly vowed that he would avoid using the power of the Mountain God’s Decree if possible in the future.
You must never let it control your desires and make mistakes again.
After washing his face, Chen Yansheng finally felt completely relaxed.
“Yansheng, are you alright?”
At this moment, Yu Bingjie walked over and asked with concern.
Chen Yansheng shook his head and said apologetically, “Bingjie, I’m fine. I was out of my mind just now and I frightened you.”
Yu Bingjie shook her head and took his hand: “I’m fine, I just didn’t want to be with you in that situation…”
Hearing Yu Bingjie’s gentle and sensible demeanor, Chen Yansheng tenderly stroked her hair.
In this lifetime, I must never let down such a wonderful girl.
“Let’s go back to the village.”
“Um!”
…
In the courtyard of the Yu family in Stone Village.
A group of Yu family relatives gathered there, eyeing Aunt Mei with predatory intent.
“Yu Lao’er’s wife, it’s not that we’re heartless, it’s just that these days, everyone’s life is tough.”
“Now that Yu Lao’er is gone, he should hand over those plots of land so we can cultivate them. That way, we can share some of the harvest with Yu Lao Tai and show our filial piety on behalf of your Yu Lao’er.”
These relatives of the Yu family have come to our door today in order to divide up Yu Lao’er’s land and property.
In their view, with Yu Lao’er dead, the Yu family would be left with only Aunt Mei, the widow, and Yu Jie, the mentally challenged son.
Yu Bingjie will get married sooner or later, so she won’t be considered a member of the Yu family.
Such families deserve to be exploited to the point of extinction.
Among these relatives of the Yu family, Yu Guang, the eldest son of the Yu family, is the most prominent.
“Uncle, do you feel the same way as them?”
Aunt Mei looked at her uncle Yu Guang and said angrily.
Yu Guang is a gentle person, but he can’t stand up to his fierce wife.
His wife and other relatives in the Yu family all shared the same idea: they all wanted a share of their second brother’s land.
He couldn’t go against everyone’s wishes.
“Second son’s wife, we’re all doing this for your own good. You’re just a woman, and you can’t farm this much land. Why don’t you give us the land and we’ll farm it?”
Yu Guang chuckled and said to Aunt Mei:
“The land cultivated this way can be used to support the old lady, help you pay the grain tax, and you can still have some left over.”
“You can support yourself and Xiao Jie without having to work, isn’t that great?”
Hearing her uncle’s words, Aunt Mei’s face turned ashen, and she said coldly:
“No need, my family’s land is meant for Xiao Jie.”
“My daughter and I can farm the land; we don’t need your help!”
Seeing that Aunt Mei wouldn’t listen to their advice, the Yu family relatives became even less polite.
“Yu Lao’er’s wife, don’t be so stubborn. You know your son’s condition. He’s mentally challenged. Even if you give him this land, he won’t be able to keep it!”
“That’s right. Give us so much land, and after you leave, we can help take care of your son. Otherwise, if he starves to death at home after you’re gone, no one will even know.”
“Second son’s wife, we’re all doing this for your own good. Even if you can farm with Bingjie now, she’ll get married sooner or later. Who will help you farm then?”
Hearing the increasingly harsh words spoken by Yu’s relatives, Aunt Mei’s face turned pale, and her eyes reddened.
Upon seeing his mother cry, Yu Jie immediately became anxious. He grabbed a shovel, stood in front of Aunt Mei, and addressed the surrounding Yu family relatives:
“You’re bullying my mother, get out of here! You’re not welcome in our house.”
As he spoke, Yu Jie brandished a shovel and waved it around, trying to drive away the Yu family relatives in front of him.
The Yu family’s relatives came for the Yu family’s land; they wouldn’t leave without getting the land.
Immediately, a strong relative snatched the shovel from Yu Jie’s hand and then held him tightly.
“You brat, you dare to lay a hand on us? You have no respect for your elders, you deserve a beating!”
After saying that, the relative prepared to take a shovel and hit Yu Jie’s leg.
“What are you doing? Don’t hurt my son!”
Seeing this, Aunt Mei rushed forward, trying to pull Yu Jie back.
But how could anyone else let Aunt Mei have her way?
Knowing that Aunt Mei was worried about her son’s safety, they all stepped in front of Yu Jie and said to Aunt Mei:
“Second son’s wife, give up your land and we’ll release Xiao Jie.”
“Otherwise, don’t blame us elders for disciplining him for you!”
Yu Jie struggled in his relative’s grasp, and the relative, growing impatient, slapped him across the face.
“Behave yourself, you’re so noisy. If you move again, I’ll break your legs.”
Yu Jie’s mental capacity is only that of a few years old, and he was so frightened that he immediately burst into tears.
When Aunt Mei saw her son crying, she panicked and immediately knelt down, saying:
“Please, give me back my son.”
“He is also a member of your Yu family.”
Upon hearing this, the Yu family relatives all showed disdain on their faces and cursed:
“Who shares the same bloodline as this idiot?”
“Exactly, he’s just an idiot. Does he even deserve to be considered one of our family members?”
At this point, these relatives kicked Aunt Mei away.
Aunt Mei quickly scrambled to her feet and crawled on her knees to her uncle’s side: “Uncle, please… for the sake of your deceased brother…”
