?Chapter 146: Chapter 147 Xia Bing’s Weakness_1 Chapter 146: Chapter 147 Xia Bing’s Weakness_1 Qiao Dalang didn’t give Xia Bing a chance to utter a sound before dragging her into the room. But Xia Bing was also not easy to provoke, and she fiercely slapped him, “What are you doing? Do you believe that I’ll shout and let the whole village know that you dare to accost me?”

Qiao Dalang was a bit dazed by the slap, but as he regained his composure, he spat out, “You dare to hit me?”

Xia Bing glared, unafraid, “What about it? You dare to harbor inappropriate thoughts about me? Really think I’m easy to bully?”

Qiao Dalang’s tone softened a bit, indeed everyone is afraid of the tough ones, “Oh, my Bing’er, what do you mean by that? After all, we grew up together like childhood sweethearts, there should be some affection between us, shouldn’t there? What’s so great about that Tofu Zhang, I heard he’s just a simpleton with a stupid look, how does that compare to me? If you change your mind now, just say the word, and I’ll marry you straight away.”

“Who has affection with you? You still want to marry me with that attitude? Shameless, make way for me this instant!” Xia Bing was a clever person, and she had obviously been aware of Qiao Dalang’s intentions for a while, but it was a pity that she didn’t consider him at all.

That Qiao Dalang was poor was one thing, but he was also an idle good-for-nothing, and Xia Bing would have to be blind to marry such a person and shorten her own life for nothing.

Qiao Dalang’s face suddenly changed, “What’s that? I’m not good enough for you? What do you think you are? I looked your way, and that was already showing mercy!”

Qiao Dalang was indeed showing mercy. He had long coveted beauties like Li Qinghe, but after Li Qinghe married Qiao Yuanzhen, Mrs. Ji had initially intended to arrange a marriage for him with a girl who, although not comparable to Li Qinghe, was also quite delicate and lovely. However, after that incident with Qiao Yuanshan stealing the family’s silver to keep a mistress, their household was nearly broke, with no money left for him to marry. A good marriage proposal just fizzled out like that.

Qiao Dalang was at the peak of his hormonal surge; how could he endure days without a woman? He was already sixteen and hadn’t yet tasted what a woman was like. Mrs. Ji said she’d find him a wife next year, but he couldn’t wait any longer with his physiological needs; he wanted a woman right now.

Therefore, his gaze fell on Xia Bing. Her family’s circumstances weren’t great, but she had a decent figure. Her face really was ordinary and even tan, but that figure… it really was quite nice.

Qiao Dalang leered at Xia Bing’s figure as if he were stripping her with his eyes.

Xia Bing felt disgusted and cursed, “Get lost! I’m not someone you can bully; if you don’t get out of the way, I’ll shout right now. Do you believe I’ll make the whole village listen?”

But Qiao Dalang was not frightened in the slightest; his face showed a hint of a sinister smile, “Are you sure you want to shout? Isn’t your marriage not yet set in stone? Don’t think that only my sister can whisper in my aunt’s ear and blow up your marriage—I am even more persuasive with my aunt. Tell me, if you provoke me today, do you think your marriage with Tofu Zhang will still happen?”

Xia Bing’s face turned instantly pale, furious that he was actually threatening her!

Qiao Dalang had actually seen Qiao Lianhua use the marriage with Tofu Zhang to blackmail Xia Bing and take her anger out on her. The usually hot-tempered Xia Bing unexpectedly complied obediently, allowing Qiao Lianhua to hit and scold her, and that’s when Qiao Dalang found Xia Bing’s weak spot.

Xia Bing’s marriage was already halfway arranged, but since it hadn’t been finalized, it could be called off at any time. It was said that Tofu Zhang had already given the Xia family betrothal gifts of twenty taels of silver, an astronomical figure for the impoverished Xia family.

Having tasted the benefits of marrying Tofu Zhang, Xia Bing, who had been poor all her life, naturally wanted to live a better life. Hence, she would bear any humiliation and not resist at all.

Seeing such a good opportunity, would Qiao Dalang let it pass? If he couldn’t marry her, why not have a little fun? Either way, he had her weak spot in his grip; how could he be afraid she wouldn’t comply?

Qiao Dalang, with a leisurely air, crossed his arms and watched Xia Bing while laughing carelessly, “What’s the matter? Not talking anymore? Just think, such a good marriage, and once you marry into it, you’ll never have to worry again for the rest of your life. It’d be such a pity if this were to fall through halfway, tsk tsk.”

Xia Bing’s fists were clenched tight. In the past, she had only thought the Qiao siblings were cunning; she had even been convinced to act as their pawn once. But now she realized just how adept they were at kicking someone when they were down. Pinching her at her most vulnerable spot, her sister abused her, and her brother wanted to sleep with her. And she truly didn’t dare to resist; she couldn’t afford to lose this marriage.

Indeed, it was karma; what goes around comes around.

“Have you thought it through? Do you want to be a virtuous and chaste heroine? Hey, brother isn’t someone who doesn’t know how to cherish a person. As long as you submit to me and bring me joy, I’ll make sure you also experience some happiness. What if Tofu Zhang turns out to be incapable? Then you might be begging me to sleep with you,” Qiao Dalang said with a lecherous tone.

Xia Bing gritted her teeth and said, “Fine.”

Although Qiao Dalang had calculated that Xia Bing wouldn’t refuse, he couldn’t help but get excited when he actually heard her consent. He quickly bolted the door lock and pounced on Xia Bing onto the bed, starting to nibble on her neck while his hands clumsily stripped off her clothes.

It was summer, and Xia Bing was wearing only an outer garment over a red dudou. Qiao Dalang, in his eagerness, tore off her clothes and felt her chest, kissing her messily.

Xia Bing shuddered with hatred, yet she also found herself lost in the numbing sensory stimulation.

Just as Qiao Dalang was about to spring into action, he heard Mrs. Ji’s voice from outside the door, “Dalang, what are you doing in there? Aren’t you going to work in the fields?”

Qiao Dalang cursed, “I’ll go in a bit, don’t bother me!”

“Hey, why do you talk like that? The weeds in the field are growing like mad and you are lazing around here. I tell you a few words and you think you’re in the right, is that it?” Mrs. Ji scolded.

Qiao Dalang’s face turned green with rage, “I said I’ll go! What are you ranting about!”

Mrs. Ji was startled by his yelling and shut her mouth meekly, “I was just saying, this child, becoming more and more unruly.”

Although Mrs. Ji was curious about what Qiao Dalang was doing inside, seeing that he was indeed quite annoyed, she had no choice but to walk away, muttering to herself.

Once it was over inside, Xia Bing dressed and came out, then headed to Qiao Lianhua’s room to “visit her good sister.”

Unsurprisingly, Qiao Lianhua was furious, “Why are you only coming now? Are you annoyed with me for losing my temper with you? Or did you go off and badmouth me to someone else again?”

Just as Xia Bing was about to explain, Qiao Dalang came in, “Lianhua, I was just speaking with Xia Bing. We got so engrossed in conversation that we lost track of time. My apologies. With the hard work Xia Bing puts in day after day to take care of you, she wouldn’t dare harbor any ill intentions towards you.”
