Yunyi released Geng Erhong, crossed her arms, and stared at Qiu Baojuan struggling in the mire. "Are you trying to garner sympathy by floundering in the mud?"

A nearby auntie, who didn’t get along with Widow Qiu, imdiately chid in, "Qiu Baojuan, all the able-bodied n of the village are working in the Pond. Who are you trying to seduce here?

"Truly, like mother, like daughter. Acting so shalessly in front of everyone!"

Qiu Baojuan wanted to retort. However, when she had fallen earlier, one of her knees had struck a rock beneath the mud. The pain was so intense that when she opened her mouth, she swallowed a mouthful of muddy water, making her retch.

For a mont, the n clearing the silt began to joke crudely among themselves, "That Qiu girl might not be much to look at, but she’s nicely filled out. Look at that big backside—must be quite a ride!

"Yeah, and those two mounds on her chest, they’re enough to make a man drool!"

Soone who loved to fan the flas shouted, "What are you all waiting for? Go and help her up!"

Hearing this, several n started forward, heedless of the difficult footing in the mud, rubbing their hands with greedy, shining eyes.

In the middle of the Pond, a young man who had spent so ti playing with Qiu Baolin in the past called out, "Take it easy, guys. She’s still a girl from our village."

"You punk, you got a crush on that Qiu girl? If you do, get your mom to go propose right away! With her family’s reputation as it is now, it’s a sure thing."

"What Qiu girl? She’s no blood of the Qiu Family! Stop your damn nonsense, don’t you go ruining our Qiu Family’s reputation!"

"Right, right, my mistake! I forgot, she and her brother are Xu Wenchang’s offspring, surnad Xu."

At this, the nearby Xu family mbers also beca indignant. "If you can’t talk sense, then shut up! The Xu Family wants nothing to do with such an embarrassnt!"

Qiu Baojuan had just managed to kneel when she saw several n approaching. Her heart lurched with panic. They’re really going to pull up! I don’t know what rumors will spread then! "Don’t co over here!" she cried. "I can do it myself!"

Her potential seed limitless in that mont. No sooner had she spoken than she actually stood up. But as she lifted her foot, her shoe stayed lodged in the mud. Frantically, she bent over to feel for it.

Just then, the group of n who had co over reached her. "Little Sister Qiu, we’re here to help you."

Before she could refuse, they hauled her out of the mud. She didn’t even have ti to pull out the shoe she’d just found. "What are you doing?" she yelled. "My shoe!"

As she struggled, mud from her hands splattered onto them. Imdiately, the onlookers around the Pond burst into laughter.

The n who had co to ’help’ already harbored impure intentions. Now, with their faces and heads splattered with mud, their hands grew bolder and started to wander, as if to vent their frustration.

Angered, Qiu Baojuan thrashed wildly. "Let go of !"

Chapter 247: The Biter Bit

One of them, caught off guard, got scratched by her fingernails. He yelped in anger and let go.

The other n were unprepared. Qiu Baojuan tumbled back into the mire, landing flat on her back. She was now utterly caked in mud, a mud figure through and through.

Thinking of the days of panic and fear, contemplating her bleak future... I wanted to harm Chuyunyi, but in the end, I only hard myself! The crushing realization crashed over her, and she broke down, crying bitterly.

At that mont, the brigade leader happened to arrive. "What are you all doing? Didn’t you see the sky clouding over? Still got ti to slack off here?"

After scolding them, he glared disapprovingly at Qiu Baojuan, who looked like a mud monkey. "It’s freezing out! What do you think you’re doing, mucking about in the Pond?

"Still not getting out? Hurry ho and get yourself cleaned up!"
