In her previous life, Qin Hanshu couldn't cope and took her own life when her stepfather forced her to the countryside. After her death, her soul attached itself to a prayer bead that her steps...
A migrant worker who hitched a ride on a train from the Loess Plateau to Wuhan arrived unnoticed, and his disappearance will also go unnoticed.
Apart from the landlord who rented the cabin to Hu Wenwen, no one knew that Hu Wenwen had disappeared.
Although everything in the house was still there, the person was missing, which was suspicious. However, the landlord preferred to avoid trouble and didn't intend to do anything.
The only person who still knows Hu Wenwen is Qin Hanshu.
Huo Zhenduo knew about the relationship between Hu Wenwen and Qin Hanshu, and he also knew that they had a conflict, but he was not clear about the extent of the conflict.
When Huo Zhenduo came to see her, Qin Hanshu knew very well that he wanted to test her.
This means Hu Wenwen is finished.
Qin Hanshu simply cut to the chase: "Hu Wenwen? Ha, I have a deep-seated hatred for her. Even if she dies, it has nothing to do with me."
Huo Zhenduo's eyelids twitched, wondering how much truth Qin Hanshu had in his words.
Qin Hanshu pretended not to know Huo Zhenduo's purpose and said, "I have already told you everything I know about her. Don't mention her again, it's bad luck."
As he spoke, he even showed a look of disgust.
Huo Zhenduo nodded readily in agreement.
Actually, he wasn't afraid of Qin Hanshu investigating Hu Wenwen's whereabouts. He handled the matter cleanly and efficiently, and even the police couldn't find any trace of it, let alone Qin Hanshu.
He was just a little worried that Qin Hanshu would develop a rift with him because of Hu Wenwen.
Ru Mei considered Qin Hanshu one of her best friends, so if they had a falling out, he wouldn't know how to explain it to Ru Mei.
Qin Hanshu glanced at Huo Zhenduo, wanting to ask about Hu Wenwen's situation, but it wasn't convenient to ask. Even if she did ask, Huo Zhenduo certainly wouldn't tell her directly.
However, she knew what kind of person Huo Zhenduo was.
Hu Wenwen's foolish attempt to use the same methods she used on Cao Jing against Ru Mei was undoubtedly a blatant attempt to rip out Huo Zhenduo's heart and soul.
Even if I don't kill her, I'll make her wish she were dead.
Qin Hanshu had a feeling that she would never see Hu Wenwen again in her life.
***
As winter break approached, Qin Hanshu received a letter from Beijing.
It was sent by Ma Chaoyang.
In the first two years after Qin Hanshu arrived in Jiangcheng, she exchanged two letters with Ma Chaoyang, but they didn't have much to say to each other, and gradually lost contact.
This time, Ma Chaoyang suddenly wrote to say that he would be coming to Jiangcheng during the winter vacation and asked if we could have a meal together.
Qin Hanshu glanced at the time Ma Chaoyang wrote the letter and guessed that she didn't need to reply.
"Whose letter is this?"
Zhou Weiguang was soaking his feet when he saw her sitting at her desk, engrossed in reading, and casually asked her a question.
Qin Hanshu casually replied, "Ma Chaoyang."
The moment he stepped on the ground, an alarm bell rang in Zhou Weiguang's mind.
Ma Chaoyang remembered that he was also an educated youth who had been sent to work in Haowan Village.
Male!
Zhou Weiguang coughed lightly, pretending to ask casually, "You two have been in contact all along?"
Qin Hanshu answered casually, "Yes."
Zhou Weiguang unconsciously rubbed his two big feet in the foot basin, his mind wandering.
Are she and Ma Chaoyang close? He remembers that her relationships with all the other educated youth were neither close nor distant, so why is it that she only keeps in touch with this guy surnamed Ma, and they've been corresponding for so many years...?
Qin Hanshu folded the letter and put it in the drawer.
Turning around, I saw Zhou Weiguang still soaking in the water and asked, "Is the water getting cold? Do you want me to add some hot water for you?"
As he spoke, he went to get the kettle.
Zhou Weiguang did not stop it.
Qin Hanshu told him to lift his feet, then poured boiling water in, causing a cloud of white steam to rise.
Zhou Weiguang pulled her along, "Want to soak in the water with me?"
Qin Hanshu refused with disdain, "Your stinky feet, soak them yourself."
Zhou Weiguang clicked his tongue regretfully. He loved his wife's two little feet the most; they were white and tender, with almost no calluses on the soles. They looked so cute that he wanted to take a bite.
With that on my mind, I did just that.
When Qin Hanshu changed the water and soaked her feet, Zhou Weiguang volunteered to wash his wife's feet.
While washing, I suddenly picked it up and took a bite.
It wasn't too painful, but it startled Qin Hanshu, causing her to cry out.
Gu Yan quickly appeared at the door and asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong?"
The door was open, and Gu Yan immediately saw Zhou Weiguang washing Qin Hanshu's feet.
Good heavens! If word got out that a man was washing a woman's feet, he would be ridiculed from the first day of the lunar month to the fifteenth.
Fortunately, Zhou Weiguang's mouth had already left Qin Hanshu's feet, otherwise Gu Yan's worldview would have been even more shattered.
Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "It's alright, you can go ahead and do your work."
Gu Yan suppressed a laugh, nodded, and said, "Zhou Sheng is a bit restless, I'll take him down for a walk."
Qin Hanshu reminded him, "Be back before lights out."
Gu Yan agreed.
Qin Hanshu turned her head and saw the teeth marks on the back of her foot. She kicked Zhou Weiguang in the face in anger and smeared his face with foot bath water.
It wasn't that she kicked him in the face on purpose, but Zhou Weiguang was squatting down, and his kick just happened to hit his face.
Whether you're a man or a woman, being kicked in the face is never a good thing.
Qin Hanshu glanced at Zhou Weiguang's face, thinking that if he was angry, she would quickly make her escape and go downstairs for a walk with Gu Yan.
Zhou Weiguang, however, surprised everyone by smiling and saying, "Kick it again."
He certainly didn't seem angry; on the contrary, he made an unreasonable request.
Qin Hanshu: "......"
Qin Hanshu simply complied with his request.
After a while, Zhou Weiguang got so excited that he jumped up and pounced on the foot bath, overturning it.
...What a strange hobby!
Zhou Weiguang was different today than usual. I don't know if it was because he had enjoyed being kicked earlier, or for some other reason, but he was particularly excessive and had to make a scene.
Gu Yan and Zhou Sheng weren't home, and there was no one else at the house. Qin Hanshu wanted him to finish quickly, so she complied...
After they finished, the man suddenly asked, "What did Ma Chaoyang say to you in the letter?"
ah?
Qin Hanshu almost didn't react.
Why did Ma Chaoyang suddenly do that?
Qin Hanshu glanced at Zhou Weiguang and saw that he was half-closing his eyes, patting her back casually with one hand, looking relaxed, as if he had just asked casually.
Qin Hanshu replied, "It's nothing, I just said I'd be coming to Jiangcheng during winter break, so we can meet up and have a meal together."
"oh......"
Qin Hanshu didn't think much of it. She didn't have much experience in relationships to begin with, and Zhou Weiguang was particularly good at pretending. Little did she know that this man was secretly feeling very jealous.
Meeting up? Having a meal?
Is it necessary?
whispering sound!
