Chapter 156: Chapter 158: Nan Feng is Blocked_1

Without even granting Liu Chang a single glance, Nan Feng responded coldly, "No need, thank you!"

"Actually, you don’t have to be formal with me. It’s just you and I here, it’s no trouble to give you a lift. We’re all going the same way, it would be nice to go together," Liu Chang followed Nan Feng.

"No need, you go ahead."

Liu Chang was anxious, barely stopping himself from pleading with Nan Feng to get in the cart: "Lady Feng, I mean no harm."

Nan Feng finally looked at Liu Chang: "Exactly what I fear, that you have ill intentions. What if you take me to some other place and demand a ransom, wouldn’t that just be a waste of my time? Or you might drive me to my town, and then expect me to pay ten taels of silver as fare. If I don’t pay, you’ll call me a welcher. Where would I go to reason then?"

She walked on.

Liu Chang was practically hopping in frustration. He quickly dismounted, standing in Nan Feng’s way: "Lady Feng, I swear I won’t take your money."

"So you want to rob me instead?" Nan Feng asked.

"I do want to... but..." Liu Chang usually loved to joke around but seeing Nan Feng so serious, immediately corrected, "No, I wouldn’t rob either. I just want to give you a ride."

Nan Feng didn’t pause her steps at all and kept walking as she replied, "A weasel greeting the hen; no good will come of it!"

Liu Chang continued running after Nan Feng, but also had to keep an eye on his mule cart, in fear that the mule would run around uncontrolled, he had to go back to guide it.

Grabbing hold of his mule cart, Liu Chang continued his pursuit of Nan Feng.

Under the big old tree at the entrance of the village, a shifty figure was observing the two.

That woman was none other than the old boss Zhou’s wife, Mrs. Wang.

Watching, Mrs. Wang muttered to herself resentfully, "This brazen girl just had a fling with a wild boy, and now she’s leading on Liu Chang’s son."

After her rant, however, a plan took shape in her mind.

...

Liu Chang chased Nan Feng all the way to the highway leading to the town, but Nan Feng was still unmoved.

She was already convinced that Liu Chang was up to no good. Even if he offered a free ride, she wouldn’t accept to go in his mule cart.

Just at this moment, another cart arrived from behind. Nan Feng recognised the driver as a peddler from the neighbouring village who was going to town to buy goods. Nan Feng beckoned to him: "Uncle, good morning."

"Lady, are you selling game again today?"

"Yes, the ones I caught yesterday. I kept a bamboo rat especially for you."

"Oh, my favourite! Come, get on the cart, let’s talk."

Nan Feng hopped onto the peddler’s cart and said, "Uncle, we can go now."

The peddler only noticed Liu Chang then: "Huh, he is ...?"

Nan Feng replied, "A hooligan from my village. I don’t know him, but he insists on having me ride his cart. I have no idea what he’s up to."

Liu Chang: "Hey, Lady Feng, that’s not fair, I was genuinely trying to help."

Nan Feng urged the peddler to hurry.

Once they were sure Liu Chang couldn’t catch up anymore, the peddler kindly advised, "A lady should be more cautious when she is outside. You can’t just get on anyone’s cart."

"That’s why, Uncle, I only ride your cart," Nan Feng said with a smile.

"Ha ha ha ..."

As Liu Chang watched Nan Feng’s figure disappear into the distance, he felt a wave of defeat and stood rooted to the spot, making no move to head towards the town.

Her prejudice against him was too deep, not something he could resolve quickly.

But ... sigh, why had he always sided with Mo Wenxuan to bully her in the past?

Liu Chang regretted it deeply.

...

Feeling downcast, Liu Chang drove his mule cart back to the village. When he arrived at the old tree, he saw a person standing in front.

Recognizing Mrs. Wang, Liu Chang chose to ignore her. For one, his family was of a higher social status than Mrs. Wang and they looked down on such a woman. Secondly, due to an issue with Mister Zhou, Mrs. Wang had a bad reputation in the village.
