In her previous life, Liu Zhixia was a paragon of virtue, yet she was also the biggest joke in the village. She slaved away for her childhood sweetheart, Lu Huaiyuan, draining her family's reso...
Chapter 93 He went mad at a young age
The educated youth who had been watching the commotion couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
Lu Huaiyuan's face turned a deep purplish-red, and he roared angrily, "What are you laughing at! I was just teasing her on purpose! I'm a high school student, do you think I don't know this?"
The educated youth didn't expose him and dispersed laughing and joking.
Lu Huaiyuan watched Liu Zhixia's retreating figure and roared angrily, "Liu Zhixia! Your man is gone, so hurry up and divorce him and come live with me! Once I become a primary school teacher and then a director, you won't be able to reach me!"
Liu Zhixia ignored him and quickened her pace.
She couldn't help but whisper to her mother, "Mom, is Grandma Lu's illness hereditary? How could Lu Huaiyuan, so young, have gone crazy like this?"
Zhang Xiuying was laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight and couldn't even speak.
Zhang Xiuying was laughing happily when she looked up, but her smile instantly froze on her face.
"What's wrong, Mother?" Liu Zhixia followed her mother's astonished gaze.
Gu Mansheng swaggered over from the main road, acting as if she had just come out of jail, not like someone who had just taken a stroll in the city.
She walked up to Lu Huaiyuan, put her hands on her hips, and roared, "Lu Huaiyuan! We're married! You're my man!"
Lu Huaiyuan shuddered in fright, his face turning deathly pale, as if he had seen a ghost: "You... how did you get out?!"
The villagers who hadn't gone far also gathered around, discussing the matter.
"Hey! Gu Zhiqing, what brings you back?"
"Wasn't she arrested for assaulting educated youth? How come she's been released?"
"Could it have escaped? That would be a death sentence!"
Lu Huaiyuan's legs went weak, and his voice trembled as he listened: "Grandma... if you want to die, don't drag our Lu family down with you! I've had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to marry a jinx like you!"
Gu Mansheng let out a smug sneer and, with a "slap," spread a document in her hand in front of everyone.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly! The higher-ups have already investigated and found that the attack on the educated youth had nothing to do with me! Therefore, I have been released without charge!"
"What?! How is this possible?!"
Zhao Dongmei, who had just arrived, was so shocked by these words that she almost jumped up.
Gu Mansheng shoved the document in front of her, her tone arrogant: "It's all in black and white, and it even has the official seal! Take a good look! If you dare to slander me in the brigade again, I'll sue you for defamation!"
Liu Zhixia and Zhang Xiuying also joined in.
Although I am illiterate, this bright red official seal cannot be faked.
"How could this be..." Liu Zhixia frowned and murmured, "Could it be that Wang Laizi took all the blame?"
But she simply didn't believe that Wang Laizi would sacrifice himself for a woman.
Looking at Gu Mansheng's smug face, Liu Zhixia knew that there must be something fishy going on behind the scenes!
"Congratulations, Gu Zhiqing." Liu Zhixia looked at her with a half-smile. "You just got out of prison and you can't wait to jump back into another fire pit. You have quite the courage."
Gu Mansheng's smug expression froze instantly, and she glared at her fiercely: "Stop being so sour! Your man is gone, isn't he? So what if you're married? What's the difference between that and being a widow?"
“The difference is huge,” Liu Zhixia blinked, looking relaxed. “I don’t have to serve my in-laws, and I don’t have to be beaten by my husband.”
She turned to look at Lu Huaiyuan and said sarcastically, "Oh dear, I almost forgot. Marrying a woman with a bad family background, does he even qualify to take the elementary school teacher exam? What do you think, future 'grade head'?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water, directly extinguishing Lu Huaiyuan's hopes.
His heart skipped a beat.
The reason I was able to register before was because Gu Mansheng got in.
Now that she's been released, and they're still legally married, does that mean she can't be a teacher anymore?
Anger surged to his head instantly, and he rushed up to Gu Mansheng, raising his hand to slap her!
"You jinx! How come you're still alive in there! Now that you're out, can't you go somewhere else? Why do you have to come back and wreak havoc on me!"
Gu Mansheng covered her face, looking at the man in front of her in disbelief.
The gentle words of the past have now turned into fists and kicks.
Just as the second slap was about to land, Gu Mansheng had a sudden inspiration. She pulled out a thick wad of ten-yuan notes from her bag and held them high!
Lu Huaiyuan's hand froze in mid-air, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
"Where...where did this money come from?"
The onlookers around gasped in astonishment.
This stack must contain at least several hundred pieces!
Gu Mansheng snorted coldly, looking smug: "When I went in this time, I ran into a relative I hadn't seen in a long time. Hearing that I wasn't doing well, he specially gave me some pocket money."
She leaned close to Lu Huaiyuan's ear and whispered seductively, "He has connections at the police station. Even if you can't become a primary school teacher, he can arrange for you to work there!"
Lu Huaiyuan's eyes lit up instantly.
"Wife! You are truly my lucky star!"
Gu Mansheng casually stuffed the money into his hand, feigning a virtuous demeanor: "Honey, it's not safe for a woman like me to carry so much money. You keep it! We can't let others outdo us!"
Lu Huaiyuan held the thick wad of money, feeling like he was dreaming.
This was the first time in his life he had ever seen so much money, and now it was all his!
He stared at the money in his hand, grinning from ear to ear, and looked up at Liu Zhixia smugly, saying, "See? This is real money! Liu Zhixia, it's too late to regret it now! I'm not divorcing my wife! You can go back and cry!"
Watching Lu Huaiyuan's face change faster than flipping through a book, Liu Zhixia couldn't help but sigh, "Lu Huaiyuan, you're really wasting your talent by not acting in Sichuan opera. Don't worry, I have no regrets! I wish you a long and happy marriage, and may you stay together forever, and please don't go out and cause trouble for others!"
Lu Huaiyuan, however, took this as jealousy and said to Gu Mansheng in a flattering tone, "Wife, look, she's getting anxious! She's just jealous! But don't worry, you're the only one in my heart! Come on, let's go home!"
He can't wait to take the money home and show it off, to let his parents see what he's capable of!
Everyone was stunned as they watched the two "affectionately" walk away. The plot twist was too fast!
Zhang Xiuying's face darkened, and she lowered her voice: "Gu Mansheng was able to get out because she must have made connections inside and shifted all the blame onto Wang Laizi. This guy is quite capable. It seems that Xiao Kai's letter of complaint has probably been ignored."
Liu Zhixia remained calm and comforted her mother, "Mother, don't worry. Good will prevail over evil. Since someone is pulling strings behind the scenes, let's investigate and find out who is backing Gu Mansheng!"
"Damn it!" Zhao Dongmei gritted her teeth in anger. "I have some connections in the city, I'll go and find out! I want to see which big shot dares to be so lawless!"
After saying that, she called two educated youths and rushed into the city.
Liu Zhixia held her mother's hand, her eyes clear: "Mother, let's go back first. This can't be rushed. The good news is that at least Lu Huaiyuan, that troublemaker, won't be interfering with Fourth Brother's exam."
