Chapter 42 Chance Encounter

With several days of holiday to spare, Lin Junhui went to his grandson Zitao's house to help build a house.

In his spare time, he also goes to bookstores to buy books and studies accounting on his own in the evenings. He wants to get an accounting certificate so that his salary can increase in the future.

The house in the vegetable garden is almost finished, but the roof beams haven't been put up and the walls haven't been plastered.

These past few days, Wang Yufeng and Zhou Haoran have been helping with the construction of the house. Sun Zitao offered them wages, but they refused to accept them no matter what.

Lin Junhui took a 7-day vacation and helped build the house. Kong Xiujuan and Sun Zitao liked the young man more and more and felt that he and Xiufang were a good match.

Sun Zitao and Kong Xiujuan felt grateful but also a little embarrassed. They couldn't bear to have delayed their earnings.

The two initially planned to build the house themselves without asking for help. They weren't in a hurry to move in anyway, and they just wanted it finished before Yunya came back.

It's not too late to ask for help when it comes to putting up the roof beam. Who would have thought that while they were helping to haul back the old bricks, they were already focused on building their own house.

They knew that Sun Zitao hadn't gone to wait for work, but had gone to build houses, so they volunteered to help.

These days, they helped build the house, and Kong Xiujuan generously bought a lot of meat to cook. Since they didn't want wages, they naturally ate well and were full.

After more than 10 days of intensive construction, the house is finished. We'll pick an auspicious day to put up the roof beams.

The date for raising the roof beam was set for May 10th, the sixth day of the fourth lunar month, which is an auspicious day. While waiting for the beam to be raised, everyone finished plastering the walls.

Once everything is done, let it air out for a month before you can move in.

After the holiday, Kong Xiufang returned to work at the factory.

This time when she came back, she brought many dried vegetables from her hometown and sweet potato rice for her sisters.

The sisters were very happy.

One day, Kong Xiufang worked overtime until late at night, and it was already quite dark. There was no one to be seen on the street.

She returned to the dormitory with her roommate, Tian Yanyan.

As I passed by the factory's garden, a small green snake darted out; its entire body was lush and green.

The little snake suddenly stood up, opened its mouth, and flicked its tongue at Kong Xiufang and the others, making a hissing sound as if warning them not to come closer.

Kong Xiufang and her roommate were so frightened that they backed away, their faces turning pale.

Just then, a figure flashed past and quickly used a tool in his hand to move the small snake aside.

The newcomer had a handsome face with well-defined features, a high nose, red lips and white teeth, and eyes that sparkled with intelligence. He was youthful and masculinely handsome.

Kong Xiufang looked closely and realized it was Lin Junhui.

"Are you alright?" Lin Junhui asked with concern. His voice was as soft as silk and possessed an irresistible magnetism, captivating all who heard it.

Kong Xiufang nodded with lingering fear, "Thank you, Lin Junhui. We really don't know what we would have done without you."

"No need to thank me, I just happened to be passing by. But it's so late, you should head back quickly, it's not safe here," Lin Junhui said.

Kong Xiufang and her roommate hurriedly left the garden after hearing his words.

Back in her dormitory, Kong Xiufang was unable to calm down for a long time.

She recalled Lin Junhui's handsome appearance, agile movements, and deep voice, and a ripple of emotion stirred within her.

Her roommate, Tian Yanyan, teased, "Xiufang, do you know this guy? Could he be your boyfriend? He looks at you in a very ambiguous way!"

Kong Xiufang's face flushed red, and she raised her hand as if to hit her. "Don't talk nonsense!"

Tian Yanyan laughed out loud, "Are you angry because you're embarrassed? I'm not making this up, there's definitely something going on between you two."

"He and I are just ordinary colleagues. I only met him once at my sister's house." Kong Xiufang lowered her head, but felt a little sweet inside.

"Come on, who would believe that?" Tian Yanyan said with a smile. "But Lin Junhui is indeed quite handsome, has such a nice voice, and is so kind-hearted. If he really is your boyfriend, that would be wonderful."

Kong Xiufang didn't say anything more; her thoughts had already drifted to Lin Junhui.

She wondered if she really had feelings for him. But they had only known each other for a short time; wasn't this too fast?

She decided to observe for a while to see what was really going on with her feelings.

Have a good night's sleep.

The next morning, after breakfast, she and her roommate went to work.

The factory is currently rushing to produce new styles, so several group leaders have to stay and work overtime.

After learning about the situation, Deng Yiyao planned to send a message to her brother, telling him that Kong Xiufang had been getting off work very late recently and that they should prepare to take action against her.

Kong Xiufang and her roommate Tian Yanyan arrived at the workshop as usual and began their day's work.

In the evening, after the other workers had left one after another, Kong Xiufang and several team leaders were still busy.

Suddenly, the workshop lights went out, plunging the surroundings into darkness. Kong Xiufang was startled; she realized something might be about to happen.

Just then, she heard footsteps approaching, and then a dark figure appeared in front of her.

By the dim moonlight, she could see the face of the person who had come; it was Deng Yiyao. Caught off guard, Kong Xiufang was drugged.

Deng Yiyao, holding a handkerchief, quickly blocked her neck and covered her mouth and nose.

"Ugh... Help..." Kong Xiufang struggled a few times before fainting. At that moment, she couldn't understand why Yi Yao had done this.

Deng Yiyao dragged Kong Xiufang's body toward the toilet. There was a back door near the toilet, which was used to transport garbage and waste; no one usually paid attention to this place.

Trucks only come in to collect garbage and waste during the afternoon rush hour.

She dragged Kong Xiufang's body to the back door and covered her from head to toe with a large woven bag.

They secretly opened the back door, and Cao Renjie and several gamblers met them outside. Together, they carried the person away on bicycles.

Deng Yiyao clapped her hands, as if dismissing a bag of trash, and turned to go home.

She was in a great mood, thinking that she could finally teach that brat a lesson. She was just waiting to see the show.

Let's see who will dare to marry Kong Xiufang when she becomes a "loose woman" (a derogatory term for a woman who has lost her virtue). She'll only be able to marry her older brother.

Cao Renjie and his companions carried Kong Xiufang to an abandoned, dilapidated thatched hut in the suburbs outside the city.

Deng Yifei was sleeping when he heard a noise and opened the door. He saw his gambling buddies carrying a large bag and asked in surprise, "What are you guys carrying? It's so big."

"Hehe! Brother Fei, there's a fresh-faced beauty in here, it's Kong Xiufang," Cao Renjie said lewdly.

"What's going on with you guys? Weren't you supposed to be doing a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scene? Why are you doing this again?" he asked suspiciously.

"Oh! Brother Fei, your sister changed her mind. She said that this girl never leaves the factory after get off work, so we have no chance to make a move. Why don't we let her make a move and then pick her up, bring her back, and force her into marriage? If she doesn't want to marry you, there'll be nothing she can do about it then," Cao Renjie explained.

Deng Yifei licked his lips excitedly and praised with a smile, "Good, not bad, this is a great idea. My sister always has so many clever ideas. Well then, I'll enjoy the taste of this beauty... hehehe..."

Then he moved the person from the bag to the bed. He ordered everyone to leave and wait.

Several people went out and closed the wooden door. They stood guard at the doorway, as if afraid Kong Xiujuan might escape.

A few people were chatting outside. "Hey Renjie, what do you think of Deng Yifei's sister? Even though it's dark, I can see she's very pretty! Why didn't you pursue her?"

Cao Renjie scratched his head. "I'd like to too, but how could I dare? His older brother is no pushover. Besides, I probably wouldn't be able to control this woman if I married her. Just look at her methods; she can even get her hands on sleeping pills. Aren't you afraid to share a bed with her? I wouldn't dare."

The group exchanged glances. "Indeed, a woman like that is a femme fatale, capable of taking lives!"

The room fell silent instantly, the flickering candlelight illuminating the beauty on the bed, making her even more stunning and ethereal.

Deng Yifei stared intently at the beauty, his mouth dry, his blood churning like boiling water.

He couldn't wait to take off his own clothes, climb onto the bed, and tear off Kong Xiufang's top and pants.

After taking off her work jacket, she was wearing thermal underwear underneath.

The stretchy, tight-fitting thermal top accentuated her alluring figure. She had bought it while working in a coastal city.

He was panting heavily as he tried to pull at his close-fitting thermal underwear.

Her thermal underwear was torn, revealing her fair swan neck. The bright red bodice bulged and clung to a hint of spring, which also stung his eyes.

He took a deep breath, and blood gushed from his nose into his mouth.

He looked up, covered his nose, grabbed a piece of clothing, and wiped the blood away.

He turned around and eagerly mounted Kong Xiufang...
