002: Divorce!_1

The man and the woman were very close to each other, able to clearly see each other's faces.

The man's hand was tight around her waist and with a flip, their positions were changed.

The man was now below, and she was on top.

The only thing that did not change was his hand, still clenching at her slim waist.

The girl had really white skin, she had perfect peach blossom eyes that were clear and flawless. Her long eyelashes, like little fans, fluttered, easily able to hook the souls of people with a casual glance.

Although her left cheek bore a clear handprint, it did not detract from her beauty, but instead added a unique charm.

Fortunately, Ni Yang was wearing a green dress today, hidden within the dense grass. With the green color as camouflage, there was no trace to be found.

"Thud thud thud!"

Neat footsteps rang from the slope, the sound of boots stepping on the grassfield.

No need to think, the people above were definitely searching for the man.

In such a strict situation, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she couldn't wash away the fact that she was hiding with a man if she were spotted.

Ni Yang bit her lip, her face turned ghastly pale, her heart beat quickened.

What should she do now?

At that moment, a loud voice rang from the slope, "He disappeared just around here, search everywhere!"

The footsteps immediately scattered.

"Nothing here!"

"Nothing here either!"

The person slightly furrowed his brows, asking, "Have you searched down below?"

"No!"

"Then go down there and check!"

"Okay!"

They are coming down!

What should she do?

Ni Yang almost lost her mind in anxiety.

"Chirp!"

"Hiss hiss--"

Suddenly, sounds of fluttering bird wings echoed in the air, along with the hissing noise of a snake.

There's a snake below!

A snake can bite people!

The approaching steps, at this point, halted--

"Hiss!"

"Chirp...chirp..." the chirping of the bird weakened.

The snake's hisses became increasingly forceful!

And, if the sound was any indication, the snake didn't seem small either, if bitten, a person could die, right?

The person who originally intended to go down immediately retreated, heading upwards, "There's no one down below!"

"Let's check over there!"

"Swish-swish!" The steady footsteps moved further and further away.

However, Ni Yang was still holding her breath, fearing the others might double back, careful to listen to the movement above.

The man beneath her slightly narrowed his eyes, just watching on.

The person who had made those sounds just now was none other than this village girl.

He truly couldn't believe that a simple village girl could have such superb mimicry skills.

These sort of skills would take decades to perfect under the guidance of a master.

But the girl in front of him, she looked no more than sixteen or seventeen.

Even if there had been a genuine snake and bird present, one wouldn't have been able to tell the difference!

She was that convincing!

Truly impressive!

Ni Yang didn't have the leisure to pay attention to his expressions. She only stepped off him after all the men above had left completely.

Sitting on the ground, she was panting heavily.

She was very smart.

Extremely smart and at the same time, very calm.

How should she put it?

She didn't really seem like a typical sixteen or seventeen-year-old village girl.

Her appearance was exceptional.

Could an ordinary village girl possess such looks and adaptability?

The man stood up from the ground, squinting his eyes, "What's your name?"

"Yangyang." Ni Yang lied about her name.

She wasn't stupid, she could tell that this man, with his vicious demeanor, wasn't someone good to deal with. She wasn't going to reveal her real name to him.

Anyway, Yingying and Yangyang are quite similar.

"What's your surname?" The man continued to ask.

"Mu," Ni Yang replied.

Indeed, her surname is Mu now, she wasn't lying this time.

"How did you learn to mimic voices?" The man's gaze was firmly locked on her, like a giant beast, making it somewhat suffocating.

Ni Yang said, "This is the countryside, we have all sorts of animals around. I learned it growing up."

Ni Yang had always been smart, and had a great memory.

The man narrowed his eyes as if to question the truth of her words. Then, he took out a wallet from his pocket and pulled out a bundle of cash, "This is my thanks. I'm from Beijing, if you ever run into trouble, you can come find me in Beijing."

"Alright." Ni Yang reached out to take the money, her expression obedient but a flash of mockery passed through her downcast eyes.

How could she ever seek out this kind of man that she wanted to avoid so badly?

As for the money, of course she wouldn't refuse. It was rightfully hers after all.

At the very least, she did save his life.

If it weren't for her, this man might have been nabbed a long time ago.

Moreover, she was in dire need of money right now.

The man didn't linger around after giving the money. He left hurriedly.

Just as he was about to disappear from Ni Yang's sight, he suddenly turned back to look at Ni Yang.

Under the sunlight, the young girl stood there, slender and beautiful with skin as white as snow, as if she had just stepped out of a painting. Even the rich young ladies in the city couldn't compare to her.

After one last glance, the man left.

Once the man's figure disappeared out of sight, Ni Yang exhaled. At this moment, a dazzling reflection caught her eye. When she looked closely, she realized it was a watch in the grass.

Ni Yang picked up the watch, casually putting it into her basket and returned home with the green grass.

When Ni Yang returned home to the Mu Family, a faint aroma of food wafted from the courtyard.

Naturally, the one cooking was Ni Cuihua.

Though Ni Cuihua had just given birth, she didn't have a moment to rest.

"Mom, let me help you. You go and check on my little sister." Ni Yang picked up the spatula and skillfully flipped the potato pancake in the pan.

"Yangyang, I can handle this." Ni Cuihua watched Ni Yang and suddenly realized that her daughter had grown up quite a lot.

The Ni Yang of the past was extremely timid, scared half to death at the sight of a mouse. But today, she dares to challenge both Jinbao and the Mu matriarch!

After flipping the potato pancake, Ni Yang looked up at Ni Cuihua, "Mom, do you want to continue living like this?"

Ni Cuihua was taken aback, "What do you mean, Yangyang?"

Ni Yang sighed, "Mom, divorce him!"

Divorce?

Such a thing is unheard of in this age!

Furthermore, this is a secluded rural area. How could Ni Cuihua, a traditional rural woman, even consider such a thing? In Ni Cuihua's eyes, divorcees are immoral, flirtatious, bad women!

What good woman would divorce?

Ni Cuihua's voice turned cold, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Ni Yang took a deep breath, "Mom, think about it, what kind of life have you been leading in the Mu Family? Do grandma and dad treat you like a human being? To them, you're just a tool for reproduction, only doing all the dirty and exhausting work! Mom, think carefully, what's the point of staying in this family? If this continues, it's not just my three younger sisters who will be thrown out, we might all end up dead!"

Ni Yang hoped that her mother would come to her senses soon.

But she didn't.

Ni Cuihua simply couldn't accept these words because she was used to enduring hardships.

She immediately covered Ni Yang's mouth and said angrily, "Who allowed you to slander your dad and grandma! You are just a child! If you dare to say such things again, I'll tear your mouth to pieces!"

Although Ni Cuihua knew Ni Yang was trying to defend her and everything Ni Yang said was true.

But the old-fashioned education Ni Cuihua received from a young age had taught her that children shouldn't criticize their elders behind their backs.

Such behavior was unfeeling.

Besides, women were meant to obey their husbands after all.

She couldn't resist.

Ni Yang sighed, she understood her mother's thinking and knew what her mother was worried about. Let's just wait a little longer until mother sees the truth. Then she will willingly leave this place where people are being consumed.

Ni Yang had a plan in her heart.

Ni Cuihua gently touched Ni Yang's reddened face and said hoarsely, "Does it hurt? Yangyang, does your face still hurt? Your grandma hit you too hard. Yangyang, listen to me, don't confront your grandma next time, it won't be as simple as a slap next time..."

Ni Yang slightly lifted her eyes and smiled, "It's okay, Mom, it doesn't hurt, not at all."

"Really?" Ni Cuihua asked incredulously.

"Yes," Ni Yang nodded faintly.

She had suffered so much in her previous life, what was a little pain to her now?

Just at this moment, there came a sound of footsteps from the courtyard.

The Mu matriarch put on an affected demeanor and yelled, "Where are you people? Dead? Ni Cuihua! Get out here, don't you know we have guests?"

Ni Cuihua immediately ran out, "Mother, Jinbao. Who is this?"

Standing between the Mu matriarch and Jinbao was a plump, good-looking middle-aged woman.

The Mu matriarch said, "This is my niece Ashu from my mother's side, Ashu is nine months pregnant now. Remember to take good care of her. Since Ashu is expecting, any good food or drink in our house should be given to her first! Understand?"
