A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
Chen Chong's business is booming, everything is going well, he has paid back all the money he borrowed, and he is quite comfortable now.
He plans to earn more money, buy a house in the city, and eventually marry a virtuous wife, then his life will be perfect!
However, just when he was living a comfortable life, trouble came knocking on his door again.
The person who came to cause him trouble was indeed an old acquaintance, the woman he had previously broken off his engagement with, his former fiancée.
His ex-fiancée's family had gone through many hardships to finally arrive here. With heavy snow falling, they were too exhausted to walk any further and had to stop to find a place to stay temporarily.
Because he had no skills, he couldn't find good work, and there were no job openings. He was also unfamiliar with the area and had no one to help him, so he was living a very difficult life!
They fled the famine and had eaten everything they could find. They had almost nothing left to eat. In order to survive, they had no choice but to abandon their dignity and face and beg on the streets. At least they could have something to eat and not starve to death!
However, due to the freezing weather, not many people came out, and most of them passed by in a hurry. They could not beg for much, and they were not even full!
Later, they went to the street where there were many people and food stalls all around, so they could always find something to eat. As long as it was edible, they didn't care if it was dirty.
And Chen Chong happened to be setting up a pancake stall on that bustling food street!
Sure enough, one day his ex-fiancée came begging at his stall, bowing humbly and asking him for some food. He was too busy to pay attention to her.
It was Chen Chong's reply that made his ex-fiancée look up and recognize him.
This is nothing to begin with. We're not even related. Isn't it normal to see each other on the street?
This street doesn't belong to anyone, and there are rules that prevent anyone from coming here, right?
If she recognizes you, so be it. If she's smart enough to wait aside, Chen Chong might give her some food.
But then, looking at the long queue, smelling the delicious aroma of pancakes, and seeing the money constantly flowing into his pocket, this man suddenly had a plan.
If only all of these were hers!
Then their family won't have to beg anymore, and they won't have to live at the mercy of others!
And she can stand tall with dignity and help collect money here; this is the life she wants!
Chen Chong was incompetent, her family was poor, and she had many brothers, so they couldn't give her the life she wanted. Her family also advised her that it would be better to marry into a wealthy family as a concubine than to marry into the Chen family!
She listened to her family and broke off the engagement, but later they met again on the road to escape famine. Unexpectedly, the Chen family had stumbled upon a dog's poop and were living so well, with meat and grain to eat!
She tried to appease them several times, but Chen Chong refused each time. Later, she simply shook them off and ran away!
I never expected to run into you again!
That must mean that her fate with Chen Chong was not over, indicating that they could reconcile. Chen Chong must have always had her in his heart, but he had no choice but to give her up temporarily!
With so many people present, Chen Chong couldn't make the decision, and there was nothing she could do about it!
But now that Chen Chong has started her own small business and it's thriving, she can definitely make her own decisions. So wouldn't she be able to come back to him?
Zou Taohua was happily daydreaming to herself, her mouth practically watering.
However, there were always many people at the pancake stall, so she couldn't get a word in edgewise. Her outfit also displeased many people, and she stood there awkwardly, which affected other people's appetites. In the end, she was chased away.
However, she wouldn't give up easily. This was a golden opportunity. In this place where she had no relatives or friends, she couldn't possibly live a good life on her own. She could only place her hopes on others.
When they got back, they were so excited that they let it slip, and the whole family found out. They all got excited too, as if they would soon no longer have to beg and would be living a good life.
Zou Taohua's whole family advised her to lower her stance and be more docile, saying that men love that kind of woman and that she must seize this opportunity to make money!
The family stopped begging and gathered together to brainstorm ideas, with the ultimate goal of helping Zou Taohua get Chen Chong to accept her back.
Zou Taohua was deeply moved by the family's words. She already thought she was quite good, and Chen Chong had always treated her very well, so she was quite confident in herself!
But after waiting another day, he still couldn't find a chance to speak with Chen Chong.
As soon as she approached the food stall, she was driven away by the people next to her, because she would not only affect Chen Chong's stall, but also the other stalls!
On the third day, she finally couldn't stand it anymore. This couldn't go on. There were never any customers at that stall. Was she really going to never have a chance to recognize him?
If there's no opportunity, then create one!
With so many people around, they might be able to garner some sympathy and even use public opinion to suppress Chen Chong!
So in the end, Zou Taohua didn't think too much about it and went straight to Chen Chong's pancake stall. Her arrogant attitude told Chen Chong who she was and what she was doing there. In the end, she even turned the tables and cried that Chen Chong had abandoned her!
Zou Taohua cried and made a scene. When she was chased away, she threw a tantrum and rolled around on the ground, causing chaos at the scene.
Chen Chong recognized her and was very angry and indifferent. They had no relationship anymore, but seeing that he was doing well, she came running over to him as his fiancée, demanding things from him, suing him, ruining his business and damaging his reputation!
Given what happened last time, the Green Dragon Gang members were much more vigilant and paid much more attention to Chen Chong. So, they came over immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.
Chen Chong recognized them and had even taken them out for drinks before, so they had some connection. Therefore, he immediately asked them to help him report the matter to the authorities.
He couldn't be bothered to argue with them; it was pointless to quarrel with these scoundrels, since whatever they said was always right!
He simply stopped doing business, apologized to the customers behind him, then stood aside, arms crossed, coldly watching Zou Taohua perform.
Long time no see, your acting skills have improved again!
It's a good thing they broke off the engagement early, otherwise, if they had married her, they probably would have divorced anyway!
What kind of behavior is this? Aren't you ashamed?!
"Who reported it to the authorities? What happened?"
The police arrived quickly and stood there, shouting, "Arrest all the troublemakers and lock them up!"
Upon hearing this, everyone scurried away, fearing they would be implicated. Was being thrown in jail a joke?
Zou Taohua was completely unprepared for the arrival of the police. She panicked and immediately stopped rolling on the ground, obediently getting up.
But he harbored resentment towards Chen Chong. Wasn't this a family matter? Why did he report it to the authorities?
Getting into a lawsuit is something fun, isn't it?
"Um, officer, my wife and I are just arguing, we're not causing any trouble!"
"I don't know her! She came in yelling and crying, and even hit people, scaring all my customers away! Officer, shouldn't someone who deliberately causes trouble and disrupts order be punished?"
"Chen Chong, how dare you! I'm your fiancée! You abandoned me, and now you want to send me to jail. Do you have any conscience?"
