Chapter 23 Unwilling
Su Yaoguang shook his head: "No."

"Su Yaoguang, if you delay any longer, what if something happens to Mu Tou?" Grandma Su threatened viciously.

"You deposit a hundred coins first. After my manure pit is filled up, I will return the money to you." Su Yaoguang negotiated the terms without changing his expression.

"Dad, Mom, please save Mu Tou and me." Su Guilan cried, "I really can't stand it anymore, please get us out of here quickly!"

"We don't have any money. This money belongs to your second brother. Remember to return it to him." Grandma Su reminded him worriedly and took out the money reluctantly.

Grandma Su paid Su Yaoguang a hundred coins, her eyes fierce as she paid. Then she paid another hundred coins, and the aunt led the villagers to rescue the man.

"Ugh..." Su Yaoguang covered her mouth and nose and took a few steps back.

Zhou Wangshu said, "You go out first. I'll keep an eye on them here."

"Okay, I'll leave this place to you. I'll clean up after they leave."

Su Yaoguang still had no strength left. The only reason she seemed fine was because she had acupuncture needles in all ten fingers, trying to hold on until now. In fact, if she stayed any longer, her true condition would be exposed.

After Su Yaoguang returned to her room, she drifted off to sleep. After an unknown amount of time, she felt someone touching her forehead and opened her eyes warily.

When he saw the person in front of him, he relaxed and said tiredly, "It's Wangshu!"

"What happened just now? You look unwell. Are you sick?" Zhou Wangshu asked.

"I was drugged and now I feel very weak." Su Yaoguang said, "Just now I..."

She told him about how she felt weak after drinking water and when she went back to her room to rest she met Mu Tou who broke in and took off his clothes and pounced on her.

"Since you were powerless, how did you throw the wood into the pit?" After hearing the whole story, Zhou Wangshu looked at Su Yaoguang with an even more complicated look.

The normally fierce little girl, when her own blood relatives plotted against her, her expression was so calm, as if she had already seen through everything. She didn't cry or make a fuss, but instead thought about how to turn the crisis into an opportunity, not only escaping danger but also making a killing.

"Even though the wood weighs two hundred pounds, it has no brains. I just need to coax him a few times, tell him to eat something delicious, lead him to the pit, and then kick him in, just like you kicked Su Guilan into the pit just now."

"We were lucky this time, but what about next time?" Zhou Wangshu said, "Don't take risks again. If you encounter this situation again, get out of here while you still have strength. Go to a crowded place. Do you think that mother and son would dare to drag you back?"

"Wangshu, thank you for your concern for me." Su Yaoguang looked at Zhou Wangshu with very warm eyes.

Zhou Wangshu helped her just now, otherwise, given her condition at that time, she would not have had the strength to kick Su Guilan away.

Zhou Wangshu's willingness to help her meant a lot to her. In her previous life, when she had fought against her grandparents, her second and third uncles and aunts, and Su Guilan's family, Xiao Yanci had simply called her a crude and shrewish woman, unworthy of public life. Xiao Yanci had never protected her, but Zhou Wangshu had done so upon his arrival.

Zhou Wangshu felt uncomfortable with her gaze.

When she was in the most danger, he didn't show up. What was she feeling moved by?
This village girl seems quite shrewd, so why is she so foolish? As long as someone treats her a little bit well, does she have to open up to them? With her like this, it's no wonder her blood relatives are plotting against her. After all, she's so foolish that she looks easy to bully.

"I'll go find Doctor Lin and ask him to see you."

"No need. This kind of medicine just makes people weak. After a long time, the effect will disappear." Su Yaoguang said, "I'll be fine after a while of sleep."

Zhou Wangshu knew she was right. He'd seen this happen many times. Especially during his trafficking, he'd been drugged countless times. At first, the effects lasted a few days, but after taking it so often, they wore off after half an hour. However, he'd pretend he wasn't awake yet, trying to find a way to escape.

After Su Yaoguang escaped danger, she fell into a deep sleep. While she slept, Zhou Wangshu cleaned the manure pit and lit mugwort, letting its scent dissipate and dispelling the strong smell of manure. When Su Yaoguang awoke, the simple house was cleaner and tidier than before, and Zhou Wangshu had even cleaned up the manure pit.

On the other side, Su Guilan and Mu Tou were smelly, and Uncle Su and Aunt Su would not allow them to enter their house.

Su Guilan smelled so bad that no one dared to get close to her.

After the wood was lifted up, someone pinched the wood's head and woke him up. At this time, he was sitting on the ground, throwing a tantrum and rolling around, saying that he wanted to eat something.

"Dad, Mom, how can Mu Tou and I go home like this? How will we save face when others ask us about it?" Su Guilan said dissatisfiedly.

"I don't care where you put it?" Second Aunt Su said dissatisfiedly, "If you have the guts to settle the score with the person who caused you to become like this, why bother us? Weren't you so confident before that you could definitely deal with that girl? Now forget about dealing with that girl, pay back the two hundred coins you owe us first."

"I will definitely pay it back. Let me clean up the dirt on myself first, so that the wood and I don't stink so badly, and then we can discuss the next plan."

"Let's go, let's go. We don't want to hear your plans today." Aunt Su covered her mouth and nose. "Forget about it, we definitely won't let you bathe in our house. Even if we did, we'd be disgusted to see you washing dozens of times, scrubbing your skin until it peeled off. Your stomachs are full of that disgusting stuff now. Ugh... Go away, and send us the two hundred coins another day."

Grandma Su and Grandpa Su didn't say anything, but they hid farther away than Aunt Su, and expressed their attitude with practical actions.

Su Guilan was furious, but there was nothing she could do. Unable to return to her parents' home, and having lost such a significant person, she had no desire to come to Anning Village for the time being.

However, the more Su Yaoguang offended her, the more she wanted to marry her as her daughter-in-law. When she fell into Mu Tou's hands, she would make sure she knew what it felt like to live a life worse than death.

Su Guilan left angrily.

Before leaving, she said to Mu Tou, "If you don't leave now, you won't be allowed to eat for three days."

When Mu Tou heard this, he quickly got up and said with his dirty fat face, "Mom, I want to eat meat."

Su Guilan had never hated her silly son as much as she did now.

If he wasn't a fool, why would she have to go to such lengths? She suffered humiliation for him, and all he could think about was eating.

Why is her life so miserable?
