Just at this time, Wang Sheng got into trouble, and the Wang Family’s reputation was completely ruined. The Tian Family, which used to turn a blind eye, turned their back on them. Although Tian Gouzi still wanted to marry her, Tian Jinhua wouldn’t let Tian Gouzi come to see her anymore. The few times he came were all in secret, and whenever he saw her, all he knew was to take off his pants, fool around for a bit, and then he’d hurriedly run back home. She was not pleased with this. She had to find another capable man.
Who was a capable man?
Lady Baozhu knew not to count on her unreliable parents, so she began scouting around by herself. Eventually, she realized that Gu Yao wasn’t bad at all—handsome and able to hunt to earn money, especially with that sturdy physique, clearly better than Tian Gouzi. Hence, she contrived to run into him on the road several times, but Gu Yao didn’t even glance at her. Although she couldn’t accept it, she didn’t dare to make a move, why? Because she was afraid of being beaten by Yang Ruxin.
Just as she was considering who to target next, she received good news—the village had suddenly produced two Scholars. So Lady Baozhu began plotting again. Marrying either of them would do, for she would then be the wife of a Scholar. If they were to pass the higher examinations in the future, she would definitely become a prestigious official’s wife.
However, she wasn’t invited to the banquet Yang Dani was hosting today. What to do?
Lady Baozhu loitered around the outskirts. Knowing how her mother had married her father, she was convinced that if she could just get either of the two Scholars into a haystack or the woods, and if they touched her, they would definitely fall for her, and her marriage would be set. Tian Gouzi had said that her breasts were the most comfortable to touch, and he almost wished he could die on top of her.
Of course, if both Scholars took a fancy to her, so much the better. She would marry the one who offered the larger bride price.
After wandering around for half a day, her chance finally came. She found that Yang Rusong was leaving the village alone, so she stealthily followed him from a distance. Although she couldn’t hear what Yang Rusong was saying to Yang Ruxin, she saw Yang Rusong get thrown to the ground, and then Yang Ruxin left. She felt her opportunity had arrived.
Although Yang Rusong was scolded by Yang Ruxin as worthless, there was one thing he was good at—he was quite disciplined in matters between men and women, not at all like his lecherous father. He’d encountered girls showing interest in him in town but always looked straight ahead.
Suddenly, he was hugged by a girl. He was actually stunned, but the Yang Family were actually quite clever; it’s just that some of them didn’t use their wits in the right way.
At this moment, Yang Rusong’s mind sparked with the realization—Wang Baozhu was trying to latch onto him. Forget that he was now a Scholar, even if he wasn’t, he wouldn’t fancy such a woman. So, the instant he was embraced, after a fleeting thought, he quickly regained his composure, pushed her away, and turned to run.
Wang Baozhu stumbled back a couple steps after being pushed, stepped on a rock and with a cry, fell to the ground. Especially upon seeing him run even faster than a rabbit, she was instantly frustrated to no end. She picked up a rock and threw it, and tears started falling.
"Isn’t that Treasure Bead? What are you doing sitting here?" Meanwhile, a person carrying two fish walked over.
