After coming out of the government office, Huang Mazi clutched his buttocks, swearing vengeance; he wouldn't let the Liu Family off the hook!
Huang Mazi also spread rumors everywhere, claiming Liu Xianglian was nothing but a whore, always stripping naked to seduce him.
He said he had touched every part of her body and that Liu Xianglian should marry him if she knew what was good for her.
The Liu Family was furious but overwhelmed with their own issues, let alone seeking trouble with Xiao Yuchuan.
However, the Liu Family also swore a fierce oath: they would rather die than let their daughter marry a landless vagrant.
A few days later, the Liu Family's firewood ran out.
The Liu Family's Parents were injured, recuperating from their wounds.
Liu Xianglian, a village girl used to farming, also went up the mountain to chop firewood.
Unbeknownst to her, Xiao Yuchuan also quietly followed her up the mountain.
