Replacing My Cousin for Down to the Countryside? I'll Empty Your House and Dance on Your Ancestors' Graves

In her previous life, Ruan Xianxian, who took her cousin's place to go down to the countryside, returned to the city and took over the fiancé her cousin didn't want. She thought she had fo...

Chapter 289 Compensation for the Bicycle

The analogy of using an object to represent a person didn't initially appeal to Ye Guo, but after Hu Heshuo left, he stared blankly at the hoe in the corner, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him...

If Hu Bin can manipulate Hu Dabao to rape him, can he also use Hu Dabao, this violent fool, to get rid of the Hu family father and daughter?

A complete plan gradually emerged in his mind, and Ye Guo's expression turned crazy. He bent over, opened his mouth in an exaggerated arc, and laughed silently.

In the shadows behind the back door, Hu Heshuo watched Ye Guoshen's unsteady retreating figure, then looked up in the direction where his wife and daughter were buried, remaining silent.

...

When Ruan Xianxian returned to the educated youth settlement, Jin Fei, who was repairing cars, was no longer calm. His hands and face were covered in dirt, and he had obviously discovered that some parts were missing.

"It's still not fixed. Did you two do calisthenics in my car?" Ruan Xianxian frowned, her tone clearly showing her displeasure.

Jin Fei paused for a moment, then chose to keep it a secret, "Sorry! It's my first time assembling, so I'm still a bit rusty. I'll be fine soon."

Ruan Xianxian clicked her tongue. With a character like that, how did she pass the promotion assessment?

"Comrade Jin, I bought this bike less than four months ago and have ridden it less than five times in total. Your act of taking it without asking is already very infuriating."

"If my bike breaks and can't be repaired, am I just supposed to bear the loss?"

The phrase "taken without asking" embarrassed Jin Fei. He wanted to say something, but Ruan Xianxian raised her hand to stop him. "You want to say the car was borrowed by my cousin?"

Tell me, were you there when she cut the bike lock?

Was there any advice or admonition?

With such character, I really don't know who passed your political vetting when you enlisted.

With each word she spoke, Jin Fei's face grew increasingly grim. At this moment, the educated youth who had gone to work returned one after another, and the doors to the girls' dormitory opened.

Wenrou stood behind the door with red eyes, "We spent most of our newlywed life fixing your car, what more do you want?"

Why didn't you stop me from lending the car in the first place? If the car breaks down, doesn't Ruan Zhiqing bear any responsibility whatsoever?

The shocking remarks left the two newly arrived educated youth, who had just stepped through the door, frozen in mid-air, unsure whether to go forward or back.

Jin Fei remained silent, even finding Wenrou's words reasonable. If Ruan Xianxian had simply said she didn't want to lend them the car when she returned early in the morning, who could have forced her? The current situation wouldn't have occurred.

Wenrou, leaning against the door frame, swayed precariously. "Ruan Zhiqing, please let us go. We have to see our in-laws tomorrow morning."

"If you're so capable, can't you take your bicycle to be repaired yourself?"

"Wait a minute, let me sort this out." Ruan Xianxian rubbed her forehead. "So you guys damaged my bike without asking, and now the victim has to bear the consequences and pay for the repairs?"

This is simply unacceptable anywhere, isn't it?

Wenrou looked completely innocent. "No one took it without asking. Your cousin agreed to push it over herself. You should ask her for compensation."

This matter has become a family affair even if it involves the police; the cousins' family did not commit theft.

If Jin Fei simply revealed his identity and said that his holiday was about to end and he needed to return home, would the police still dare to force him to stay and repair his car?

They just try to smooth things over, making Jin Fei pay for the car repairs while the aggrieved party has to take responsibility for the repairs themselves.

Gentleness is precisely what it takes advantage of.

No one can stop soldiers from returning to their posts.

But the person standing in front of her is the most unpredictable person, and she's not about to fall into a trap and end up in a three-way mess.

With a smirk, he readily agreed, "Sure! My Uncle Lin, Colonel Lin, is the best at repairing bicycles!"

I'll just accept my bad luck and pack up this pile of parts and send it to the First Division tomorrow..."

She seemed to remember something and patted her forehead. "I forgot, Uncle Lin went to the Second Division for a joint military exercise. In order to fix it as soon as possible, the parts should be sent to the Second Division."

"It doesn't matter where we send it, the goal is the same: get the car fixed, right, Platoon Leader Jin?"

Send it to the Second Division? You should just send it there with a bang, and spread the word that Jin Fei took it without asking so everyone knows.

If it were someone else who was the victim, they might really have to suffer the consequences. Who told them to ignore the right path and insist on flirting with that brat Ruan Xianxian?

As the saying goes, it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings.

Jin Fei bit his cheek, his voice hard, "No need, we'll definitely fix the car for you before we leave, or we'll replace it with a new one."

He looked up at Wenrou with a cold gaze and said, "Take out the bicycle ticket I gave you and put it in Comrade Ruan's hand."

From the moment I started dating this woman, one bad thing after another happened. Not only did I have to help her pay off her debts, but I also lost face on my big day.

I don't know how to explain this to my brother-in-law when I get back. My cousin and brother-in-law's marriage was originally a business deal made before the Jin family's downfall.

Over the years, the brother-in-law, who is now a deputy division commander, has become increasingly impatient with the siblings.

Now that he has made such a huge mess, he can hardly imagine what kind of scolding and abuse he will face when he returns to his unit.

The idea came from Wenhe and her cousin Ruan Xianxian, so the two of them should bear the consequences.

The dowry included a bicycle ticket, which, to prevent Ruan Xianxian from catching him and squeezing out his powder, forced him to make Wenrou hand it over.

"What?" Wenrou looked incredulous. The train ticket was her betrothal gift, why should she hand it over?

"I don't……"

She was speaking when she met her new husband's cold and indifferent gaze, and her heart panicked completely. She knew that if she continued to act recklessly, he would definitely divorce her.

She had already caused him too much trouble, and Jin Fei's tolerance and patience for her were about to run out.

She believed that if these things had happened before they got their marriage certificate, Jin Fei would definitely have broken up with her; this was just a helpless compromise.

If things continue to escalate, he wouldn't mind going all the way to the end.

Realizing this, Wenrou swallowed back her reluctance and grievances at the upcoming crossing, ran back into the house crying, took out the bicycle ticket, and stuffed it into Ruan Xianxian's palm.

Sobbing between sobs, she cried, "Satisfied now? Most of my dowry went into your pocket, are you satisfied now?"

Indeed, Ruan Xianxian took the rooster to add to the dishes, and the bicycle ticket from the "Three Turns and One Ring" lottery also ended up in this guy's pocket. Wenrou looked a little pitiful.

People often sympathize with the weak, regardless of right or wrong.

Even Ruan Xianxian felt sorry for her and reached out to pat the poor little dog's head, but then immediately withdrew her hand when she remembered that the dog had lice on its head, and spoke to her earnestly.

"Child, don't be silly."

The bride price is supposed to be given to you, but the ticket is in your hands. Don't you have to pay for the car? The new car is brought home and ridden by the men in the family, and in the end, it's all supposed to be your bride price.

What did you get?

"You'll get nothing in return. Whether you compensate me for the car or Jinfeiqi, does it make any difference to you?"

The gentle sobs faltered, and suddenly I didn't feel so sad anymore.

"It's so pitiful. The so-called 'three turns and one sound' of the bride price are used to make clothes for the men, children and parents-in-law. The men ride bicycles, and the women finally get two bolts of cloth. The sewing machine is used to make clothes for the men, children and parents-in-law first."

After years of hard work and frugality, I dug out the watch receipts from the depths of my drawer, only to find that most of them were men's models when I got to the mall.

So you thought of your husband who was busy with social engagements, and used the last of your watch tickets to buy him a watch to save face.

The most tragic thing is that when couples have disagreements and quarrels, the husband will point fingers and bring up old grievances, saying how much he spent on the dowry when he married you, you spendthrift woman.

You recall that when you got married, the dowry was the most impressive in the surrounding villages. You comforted yourself and continued to serve your husband and in-laws diligently and without complaint...
