Before Wen Xi's rebirth, she only knew that the world she lived in was a novel.
But she wasn't the female lead; she was just a passerby with few scenes. Her elder sister, while their ...
Of course, he didn't want to seek justice for Wenrou. He just wanted to beat up Yang Lianghui. The Pei family had been so good to him, providing him with a place to live, ensuring he had food to eat whenever he came home, and even helping him save money to buy a house. Yet, Yang Lianghui had quietly gotten a divorce.
Wenrou pulled Pei Jingzhou back, stopping him, "Jingzhou, Yang Lianghui promised me forty yuan a month. If you beat him up, wouldn't that give him a chance to go back on his word? His monthly salary is so low. If he gives me so much, he won't have much left. No matter which woman he marries, that woman won't have a good life. Watching that poor couple torment each other is a better way to get revenge on him than beating him up."
"Are you sure he'll really pay me every month?" Pei Jingzhou asked in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, every month when he gets paid, I'll have my parents come with me to his factory. If he doesn't give it to me, I'll make a scene." Wenrou wasn't planning to let Yang Lianghui off the hook, unless she finally got her revenge.
Who told Yang Lianghui to scheme against her from the very beginning, making her support the family and children while he didn't contribute anything? She's been schemed against for years, and he won't have an easy time for the next few years either.
Let's see which woman in this world would be willing to marry him.
After getting off work at noon, Yang Lianghui immediately went to find Lin Xiaorou and told her that he had gotten divorced. He happily hugged her and said, "Xiaorou, let's get married in a month, okay?"
"Why do we have to wait a month?" Lin Xiaorou asked, puzzled.
She thought Yang Lianghui would be eager to marry her!
“I just got divorced. If I marry you now, people will definitely think you are… So let’s wait a month before we get married. Then we can say that we were introduced by someone else. Xiaorou, I don’t want you to suffer any grievances.”
Lin Xiaorou nodded, "Brother Hui, thank you for thinking of me."
After learning that Yang Lianghui had promised to give Wenrou forty yuan a month, Lin Xiaorou immediately gave up the idea of marrying him. No matter how high Yang Lianghui's salary was, after giving Wenrou forty yuan, there wouldn't be much left, probably less than thirty yuan. If the two of them earned thirty yuan a month and split it equally, she would only have fifteen yuan a month, which was less than what she had earned before.
Forget it, I'd rather not get married.
What can she do with this little money? She can't even buy nice clothes and delicious food often anymore.
The key issue is that it's uncertain whether Yang Lianghui will have any money left after giving Wenrou the money. It might only be ten or twenty yuan. Yang Lianghui also has to give money to his parents for their retirement, right? This means she'll have even less money to spend. It's really not as good as before, when everyone gave her a little, and she wouldn't have that much in a month.
However, Lin Xiaorou still acted as if she loved him very much. After all, there was still a month left, and there was no need to make a scene now. Yang Lianghui had just gotten divorced. What if she made a scene and pushed him to the edge, causing him to do something extreme?
She still has time to escape unscathed.
A few days later, the train finally arrived at the Kaiming County train station. However, the locomotive was changed, which delayed the train by several hours. So the train arrived at night. There were no buses back to the town at night, so the three of them went to stay at a guesthouse in the county town.
Each person has their own room. Wenxi plans to quietly go back and put the furniture out, otherwise, by the time Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue arrive home, there won't be time to put the furniture out, and they might think a thief broke into the house.
After settling into their rooms at the guesthouse, Wenxi took some malted milk powder and biscuits to Shen Jiaojiao's room. The three of them ate the biscuits soaked in malted milk powder, then returned to their respective rooms to wash up and rest.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Wenxi quietly left the guesthouse, went to the roadside, took out her electric bicycle, and sped off towards the Fengshou Brigade.
Wenxi was very fast, arriving at the Fengshou Brigade in just two hours. She put everything she had packed away before going home back in its place and then quickly locked the door and left.
She had to get back before dawn so that Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue wouldn't worry about her.
Upon arriving in the county town, Wenxi thought that since she was already there and not far from Brother Qin, she should first deliver the local specialties she had brought back from Beijing to Brother Qin so that she wouldn't have to make another special trip.
After spending several days on the train, Wenxi really doesn't want to take any kind of vehicle for the foreseeable future.
Arriving at the gate of Qin Mi's residence, Wen Xi handed the basket to Xiao Wei for inspection. After the inspection, Xiao Wei let Wen Xi in, and Wen Xi put down a box of Beijing delicacies for Xiao Wei before carrying the heavy basket inside.
Arriving at the gate of Qin Mi's house, Wen Xi knocked on the door. In the early hours of the morning, when all was quiet, the knocking sounded particularly loud and clear, and Wen Xi was afraid of attracting attention.
However, Qin Mi soon came out to open the door. Every time Wen Xi saw Qin Mi's mature face, she felt a little dazed.
Qin Mi wasn't fully awake yet, still a little dazed, but as soon as she saw Wen Xi, she snapped back to reality. "Xi, you're back?"
Wen Xi smiled slightly, "Yes, I'm back."
"Come in quickly, it's too cold outside," Qin Mi hurriedly called out.
Wen Xi shook her head and refused, "No need, Jiao Jiao and Xiao Yue are still waiting for me at the guesthouse. I can't keep them waiting too long. I brought you roast duck and Beijing eight delicacies. I heated up the roast duck for you at the guesthouse. Eat it quickly!"
Wen Xi stuffed the basket into Qin Mi's arms, waved her hand, and quickly turned to leave.
Wenxi thought it was still early, so she decided to go and take a look at the house He Chen'an had bought. She took out the address He Chen'an had given her and went there. When she was a few steps away from the house, she saw a woman in her twenties with a mature charm walk out of the house, which surprised Wenxi.
How could a woman walk out of He Chen'an's newly bought house?
This house was jointly funded by her and He Chen'an, so why is there a third person involved?
Wen Xi glanced down at the address He Chen'an had written for her. It was indeed this address, no mistake. So what was going on? Had He Chen'an already moved in? Was this woman He Chen'an's colleague, here to deliver local specialties from his hometown?
Just like when she delivered local specialties to Qin Mi, she didn't go into Qin Mi's house in the middle of the night, but when this woman came out of her and He Chen'an's house, she acted as if she were the mistress of the house.
To avoid misunderstanding, Wen Xi quickly grabbed another piece of paper and wrote down the address next to He Chen'an's house. As the woman passed by, Wen Xi hurriedly called out, "Sister, excuse me, could I have a few seconds of your time? I'm here to visit relatives on behalf of my parents, but the train was delayed and we didn't arrive until midnight. It's so dark now, and I don't know where my relatives live. Could you please help me find this address?"
