Chapter 2

Under Shen Shuhao's shocked gaze, I slowly unbuttoned my collar, revealing a rather seductive polyester camisole worn close to my skin.

Like a meek little lamb, I lay softly by his feet.

Shen Shuhao was both astonished and embarrassed, the tips of his ears reddening to the point of bleeding, he angrily said: "Lin Shuyi, what are you doing? There's got to be a limit to how disgusting you can be! How can you be so shameless?"

Hearing Shen Shuhao curse at me, I became even more fearful, clutching his thigh tightly and pleading: "Please, master, don't send me to another family. I'm willing to bear children for you, until a boy is born. I beg you to keep me at home!"

Shen Shuhao forcefully shook off my hand, his face filled with anger, "Lin Shuyi, what nonsense are you spouting? Aren't you supposed to be a Chinese teacher at the village primary school? What about having children for someone else?"

Jiang Jingshu sighed upon hearing this, "Ah, Sister Shuyi has been used to living a pampered life, but Brother Shuhao, you made her stay in the countryside for reflection for three years, inevitably she feels disgruntled, which is why..."

She deliberately left her sentence unfinished, but Shen Shuhao understood.

"Alright, Lin Shuyi, I originally thought you had realized your mistake. Who would have thought you'd use such shameless methods to retaliate against me? Stop acting, get up!"

He changed from his previous cautiousness and started to pull at me roughly.

Just then, the door of the shabby wooden hut behind us was suddenly crashed open.

An old man with a stooped figure and a face full of black scars ran out, snatching me from Shen Shuhao's arms.

"You, what are you doing! She's my wife!"

"We agreed that she'd belong to me for these few months, I spent thirty bucks! No backing out!"

Shen Shuhao was shocked and furious, instinctively kicking the man: "What nonsense are you talking! Lin Shuyi is a female intellectual from the city, here to be a teacher at the school. How could she be your wife!"

The old man fell to the ground, rolling in pain, while cursing foully in his local dialect.

"What nonsense about female intellectuals, this cheap woman is a tool I bought to bear sons..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuhao turned and was about to go find the village head.

When he left, he specifically instructed the village head to treat Lin Shuyi well.

How could he sell her to an old bachelor?

Seeing Shen Shuhao clench his fists to go confront the village head, Jiang Jingshu hurriedly stopped him.

"Brother Shuhao, if today's events get out, what will happen to Sister Shuyi's reputation? Won't she have a future?"

Speaking to me, Jiang Jingshu looked at me with resentment.

"Sister Shuyi, you feel wronged, and you can take it out on us however you want. Even if you hit or curse me, I won't retaliate. But you shouldn't drag the villagers into this farce with you. How will they view us intellectuals in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuhao's face immediately darkened.

"Lin Shuyi, how can you do such shameless things..."

He raised his hand high in anger, like the old bachelor did when he was furious.

I was so frightened I knelt down immediately.

"No, don't hit me!"

"I beg you, don't hit me. I'll satisfy you in whatever way you want!"
