304 Pretending to Be a Couple

It was easy for people to be alarmed when five men entered the village, but a man and a woman weren’t that suspicious. When the time came, they would cooperate from the inside out!

Xiao Sheng’s first reaction was that he couldn’t take the risk with Yu Bing. Just as he was about to object, Yu Bing agreed before him. “No problem. I’ll help if I can! I definitely won’t expose the plan.”

Yu Bing didn’t overlook the worry in Xiao Sheng’s eyes. She wasn’t stupid and it was because there were so many people on their side that she agreed, so she whispered to Xiao Sheng, “It’s fine. Don’t I still have you? There are still so many people outside. If we only observe from the periphery, there will definitely be people who will move the victims quickly and hide them.”

Xiao Sheng was silent, but there was still disapproval on his face.

Yu Bing touched her nose and said sheepishly, “I’ll run as soon as I see any danger. I promise I’ll follow you closely.”

Zhao Xing also said, “There are so many of us, so we definitely won’t let anything happen to you!”

Xiao Sheng looked at Yu Bing and Zhao Xing. He could only compromise, so he took out a dagger from his lower back and handed it to Yu Bing. “Wear it on your pants.”

Yu Bing immediately obeyed.

Because Yu Bing had a wound on her face, and in order to make it easier for her to infiltrate the village, after discussion, they decided to let Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng use the ruse of helping the food factory purchase items and masquerade as husband and wife. Moreover, Xiao Sheng had the persona of a domestic abuser.

Most of these men who bought wives treated women as objects. They would beat them up and scold them often. They didn’t treat women as humans at all. Xiao Sheng’s image as a domestic abuser could make them lower their guard.

Because she had been escaping all night, Yu Bing was in a sorry state. The two of them first found a place with a stream to wash up before entering the village.

Tunli Village’s fields were not concentrated in front of the village, like those of He Mountain Village. Their land was distributed in two places in front and behind the village. When Xiao Sheng and Yu Bing walked to the field at the entrance of the village, they realized that the women in the fields were all over 30 years old. There were no young women.

When someone realized that Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng were not from their village, they immediately walked to the field and asked loudly, “Who are you guys? Which family are you guys from?”

Xiao Sheng smiled as he took out the recommendation letter. Then, he handed it forward. “We’re from the Food Factory in City H. We’re here to set up an office in City T. I heard that your village is rich in chili, so I wanted to come over to take a look at the quality. If it’s good, our office will purchase it.”

At this time, it was the season for the chili harvest. This was a side hustle of the village, so they didn’t have to report to the government. Therefore, the villagers who surrounded them didn’t suspect anything.

“Great. This way, we won’t have to go all the way over there to sell it!”

“I know right? It’s simply delaying me from spending time with my woman!”

“Who’s Yu Bing?” the person holding the recommendation letter asked.

Xiao Sheng introduced, “Yu Bing is my wife. My name is Xiao Sheng.”

The person holding the recommendation letter was the village chief of Tunli Village, Chen Jiang. He sized up the timid Yu Bing, who was following closely behind Xiao Sheng. “You only manage the business, but your wife is the factory director?”

Xiao Sheng smiled in disdain. “The factory director position is just an empty title. I have the final say at home.”

Everyone hooted. “That’s how it should be. How can we let a woman surpass us, men?”

Chen Jiang didn’t immediately lose his vigilance as the villagers did. He looked at Yu Bing’s face and asked, “Miss Yu, what’s with your face?”

Xiao Sheng turned around and glanced at her indifferently as he said, “I taught her a lesson for being insensible. This morning, she told me that she wanted to eat meat for lunch. This is my hard-earned money?!”

“Isn’t this the same as the Liu family? So what if Mr. Liu’s wife is the female director? She still gets beaten up by Mr. Liu when she gets home. If she dares to disobey, she’ll be taught a lesson!”

“That’s right. If it weren’t for the fact that the higher-ups insisted on choosing a woman to take this position, a mere woman wouldn’t have had anything to do with this position! Mr. Liu beat her up a lot because of this.”

“Hahaha, Mr. Liu is just a farmer, so it would be strange if he wasn’t angry that his wife is an official. He has to beat her up every day to relieve his envy! She probably gets tortured even more in bed at night!”

“I’ll testify to this. I heard his wife begging for mercy at night. Isn’t he afraid of torturing her to death?”

“What’s the big deal? Hasn’t his daughter grown up already? He can use his daughter to exchange for a new wife. If not, he can save up money and buy a new one…”

Before the man could finish speaking, he heard the village chief cough twice, so the man shut up.

When Yu Bing heard their disrespect for women and their utter disregard for the lives of others, she was so angry that she could only grab her bag tightly to suppress her anger. She had to act respectful and virtuous, as well as keep up the impression that Xiao Sheng beat and scold her often.
