Chapter 293: Tsk tsk, these idiot mother and daughter

Li Huan felt the most regretful when Cao Ziqi came back two days later. At that time, she decided to go to the state-owned restaurant to have a good meal to celebrate the success of her first revenge plan.

Since Zhang Chunmei could talk nonsense to a pregnant woman, she would just give Li Huan a taste of her own medicine. It was Li Huan's bad luck to be pregnant, and it was Li Huan's bad luck to be a good-for-nothing. So don't blame her for being involved.

The rumor I just heard is almost true. Li Huan is similar to her mother. She thinks she is the most beautiful woman in the world and hangs out with gangsters all day long.

Li Huan's previous boyfriend's family conditions were not good, but he was very good-looking. Li Huan soon got together with that man. She didn't even know she was pregnant until her belly started to grow bigger.

Someone like Zhang Chunmei would definitely not let her give birth to the child. Unfortunately, the child was already five months old. If an induced abortion was performed, Li Huan's physical condition might make her unable to give birth in the future. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and give birth to the child.

Zhang Chunmei was used to enjoying the benefits from her elder brother. She felt confident having her elder brother, who was the factory director, to support her, especially since the other party's family was poor. Even if she didn't marry her daughter, she could still get compensation and have a place to raise her children.

What can the family do? There are not many boys in the family, and they can't just give up this son. They can only go out and borrow money to settle the matter. It is better than being forced to stay in seclusion, and they can also get a grandson, which is a good thing.

Li Huan took the money and returned the child. As long as she doesn't tell her mother and she doesn't tell her mother, who would know that she had given birth to a child?

However, what people do will leave traces. Their family did not do this in a very secretive way. In any case, there are still many people who know about it secretly, otherwise Chen Ye would not have been able to investigate it so easily.

Since someone knows about this, there will be a second one if there is a first one, it’s just that people didn’t say it out loud. Now that someone knows this gossip, and Zhang Chunmei is not a popular person, Li Huan’s marriage has become a problem.

Even if there are suitable candidates, their conditions are not very good. They are either older and married for the second time, or there are some problems with the young man himself, or the family is very poor and they hope to find a capable in-law to help their family.

The mother and daughter discussed and decided to pick one and use some tricks to marry him/her, and Cao Ziqi became the unlucky guy.

Cao Ziqi is really a good person. He has a gentle personality, doesn't smoke or drink, and has a formal job. The most important thing is that he is fair and handsome. Many people are thinking of having him as their son-in-law.

Who could have thought that this young man would eventually be plotted against by Zhang Chunmei and Li Huan? But what can he do? It is better to marry someone he doesn't like than to be forced to stay in seclusion. So Zhang Chunmei and her mother got what they wanted.

In fact, the best way to deal with this matter is to wait until Cao Ziqi is found. If you remarry after he is gone, no one will say anything. If he is fine, and you lose your child because of Cao Ziqi, at least your in-laws will be much more restrained even if they dislike you for not being able to have children.

But who can blame Li Huan for being as selfish as Zhang Chunmei? He only wanted to find the next partner as soon as possible, so he arranged for a divorce just a few days later and was not even willing to wait for Cao Ziqi to come back.

After Cao Ziqi came back safely, Chen Ye really wanted to see Li Huan's expression on the spot. Unfortunately, it was hard for her to predict when Cao Ziqi would be back, so she couldn't see him in person.

However, she did help Cao Ziqi a lot this time. She helped their Cao family get rid of a troublemaker and also gave them a gentle and virtuous girl. Of course, the last point depends on Cao Ziqi's own thoughts.

This was also what she discovered when she went to scout the area. There was a small village behind the mountain. There were not many residents and they all had the same surname. The small village was called Xiaogu Village and everyone in the village had the surname Gu.

The girl who picked up Cao Ziqi that day was a rare top student in the village. She graduated from high school this year, but she couldn't find a job so she went back home to farm after graduation.

That family treats their daughter very well, otherwise a rural girl would not be able to study all the way to high school. It’s just that because of her studies, her family didn’t arrange a marriage for her early on. She is already 18 years old this year and still hasn’t found a suitable marriage partner.

In rural areas, a girl who is still single at the age of 18 is considered an old maid. Generally, if she is not married by the age of 18, she is already engaged.

She had actually inquired about it, and found out that the girl would have no trouble finding a husband, but her family didn't want to find an ordinary boy for her in the countryside. They always hoped that she could marry in the city, which was why the marriage was delayed.

That girl has a good personality and is pretty. She may just be a little dark, but she's better than Li Huan in every other way. It would be nice if she could be together with Cao Ziqi.

Of course, she was just giving him a chance. She didn't know whether the two of them could succeed. She would wait for Cao Ziqi to come back and know about the divorce, and then see what choice he would make next.

Why was she so sure that Cao Ziqi would not be back for seven days? Of course, it was because of the trick she had done, and that trick was the needle she had stuck in Cao Ziqi's head.

The acupuncture point can cause Cao Ziqi to suffer from temporary amnesia for seven days. During these seven days, Cao Ziqi will not be able to remember who he is. These seven days are used for Cao Ziqi to cultivate feelings with the girl.

Moreover, Cao Ziqi's memory loss cannot be recovered, which can also give Chen Ye some time difference to make trouble, just like when her own mother was fooled by Zhang Chunmei. She also spread the news that Cao Ziqi is gone to see if Li Huan can bear it.

The result was better than she expected. Before she could continue to attack Li Huan, he lost his balance and fell down. The child she had planned to have was gone. It didn't matter if she didn't preserve the bloodline of that kind of person. She didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.

After all, the child in Li Huan's belly was not born naturally, but was the result of Li Huan drugging Cao Ziqi. The Cao family did not like the child in Li Huan's belly, but they had to accept it.

Chen Ye burped loudly, she was really full. She hummed a little tune while washing up, set up the stove, and planned to start renovating the room with the kang today.

As for Zhang Chunmei's family, they have to take it slow. Cutting meat with a blunt knife is very tiring, so it's a good opportunity for them to take a break.

She also planned to build a second floor for this house, but she didn't plan to make it a living place. She planned to make a small warehouse to store some sundries.

After the spring, we will separate a bathroom in this house to make it more convenient to take a shower. The toilet can only be renovated after the land thaws in the spring, as the land cannot be dug in the winter.

But it is good to have a toilet. Many houses in the city do not have toilets, so people have to go to public toilets. There is a long queue at the door of the public toilets early in the morning, which has almost become a strange sight.
