Chapter 13: Going home to get the household registration book and facing childhood trauma
Gu Wanxing came to the bathroom and just turned on the light when he heard the sound of a door closing and footsteps in the north room.
I thought someone came out to look for something, but unexpectedly it was Zhao Chengyan who knocked on the toilet door.
The toilet in the countryside is very small, made of a few asbestos tiles, and is drafty everywhere.
Gu Wanxing peeked out from the gap and said, "Are you crazy? I'm going to the bathroom, so why don't you wait a while?"
You clearly saw her come in, but you still wanted to fight with her for the toilet. Is that crazy?
"Wanxing, go ahead and do your thing, and I'll talk to you."
Gu Wanxing: ...
She opened the door and walked out: "You go first."
After saying that, she walked towards the west room.
She now feels that her body has been marinated with the smell, and if she doesn't wash it, she will vomit.
"Wanxing, I don't want to go to the bathroom, I just want to talk to you." Zhao Chengyan followed her closely.
"Okay, come here."
Gu Wanxing paused, turned around, and sneered in his eyes.
As the evening breeze blew, Zhao Chengyan smelled the indescribable smell. He couldn't help but frown, and a strong urge to vomit came over him.
"Wanxing, did you really get a dead mouse?"
Gu Wanxing took a step forward and said, "Yeah, it smells good, doesn't it? Come on, I'm listening to what you have to say."
After saying that, she walked forward again.
Zhao Chengyan covered his nose and stepped back in disgust: "You should wash it first."
He turned and ran into the house, retching when he reached the door.
When Gu Wanxing saw his fleeing back, she thought of the time when she had just given birth to Zhao Chao.
He didn't even enter the bedroom, and the details confirmed everything.
The man didn't suddenly fall apart. The details that happened day after day had already proven that Zhao Chengyan was not trustworthy at all.
Without the annoying scumbag, Gu Wanxing went straight to the toilet again.
With an excited and nervous heart, she entered the space. As soon as she entered, a fresh breath hit her face.
To save time, she quickly went into the house and got a brand new large wooden basin.
The senior said in the letter that before she sealed this space, she replaced everything inside, even the clothes in the closet were new.
But she probably couldn't have guessed that times have changed, and those clothes have long been out of style and can no longer be worn.
Gu Wanxing came to the well behind the house and began to scoop water with the wooden ladle in the wooden barrel beside the well.
The temperature in the space should be constant. It feels about 25 or 26 degrees Celsius now. The well water is very cool. Normally, she wouldn't take a bath with cold water, but there's no such concern now. It's just too smelly.
Besides, there is no equipment to boil water here.
While cleaning, Gu Wanxing was thinking about going to the town to buy a set of gas tanks, pots and pans, etc.
I don’t know if it was the pills that improved her physical condition, or if the well water had some miraculous effect.
The imagined biting coldness did not happen, there was only a little bit of comfortable coolness.
Everything in the space is good, and Gu Wanxing is not a selfish person.
She couldn't help but think of Fu Zheng's legs again.
People cannot be ungrateful, otherwise God will not be able to bear it and take away everything from you.
Since she has such an opportunity in this life, she must help Fu Zheng keep his legs.
——
When she returned to the bedroom after washing up, Gu Wanxing glanced at the plates and bowls on the dining table. Only the residue of vegetables was left after the family of three had eaten, and they said it was the food left for her.
She was too lazy to argue and would go back home tomorrow. If she wanted a divorce, she would have to go back to get her household registration book. After she got married, her household registration had always been with her mother's family.
Thinking about that home, she also felt overwhelmed.
In the evening, Gu Wanxing drove the father and daughter out on the grounds that he was not feeling well.
Although Liu Xifeng cursed, she finally slept with Zhao Chao under the pressure of her son.
Zhao Chengyan originally wanted to sacrifice himself to appease Gu Wanxing.
Under the ruthless lock, he finally gave up. He still hadn't figured out the passbook issue and was too preoccupied to figure it out.
He looked at everyone in the house as a thief, and the most frightening thing was that his seal was also missing.
I waited anxiously until dawn and then went straight to the Agricultural Savings Bank.
When Zhao Chengyan heard what the bank teller said, he felt like the sky was falling.
People say that an old lady came to take the money from the voucher yesterday at noon.
After hearing the bank teller's description, Zhao Chengyan had to accept the fact that the person who took the money was his mother.
And his mother and sister happened to come to town yesterday.
She generously bought six dishes last night. All the evidence pointed to Liu Xifeng, which made Zhao Chengyan furious.
That’s my biological mother!
He would rummage through their cabinets all day long and take a few dollars, and he would just turn a blind eye.
How dare she take the savings book worth more than 10,000 yuan this time? I absolutely can't let it go like this.
Zhao Chengyan got on his bike and rushed home angrily.
…
Gu Wanxing had already expected all of this.
However, she did not expect Zhao Chengyan to go to the bank to inquire so soon.
At this time, she was preparing to go back to Gujia Village to get her household registration book.
So she packed up, avoided Liu Xifeng and Zhao Chao, and rode her bike out.
It takes about fifteen minutes to ride a bike back to Gujiazhuang, but the road is not easy to walk on and is bumpy.
Before leaving the village, she met several people who all looked at her with sympathy.
She ignored it because there was no need. There was no need to say unnecessary words to unnecessary people.
No matter how good a person is, he or she may be a bad person in other people's stories. She may be constrained by her own morals, but will not be trapped by other people's evaluations.
Today they sympathize with her, but tomorrow they might change their tune and scold her for being cruel and abandoning her family, because people only sympathize with the weak.
Now she is the weak one, and after the divorce, Zhao Chao will be the weak one.
So there is really no need to care about what others think of you. Just live your own life well and move forward.
As soon as he entered the village, Gu Wanxing met Gu Yuerou's mother, Li Guihua. She was almost fifty years old now, but she still wore rouge and powder all day long and dressed like a matchmaker.
She doesn't do any work in the fields. As the name suggests, her daughter has married and moved to the city, so why should she do any work? The bare fingers of her daughter are enough for her to live.
Li Guihua spotted Gu Wanxing from a distance and waved her hand with a smile: "Wanxing is back? Xiaorou is at home, go play."
When they met before, Gu Wanxing would call her "Third Aunt" out of politeness, but now? She just wanted to get the household registration book and leave quickly.
Gu Wanxing didn't respond. He focused his eyes on the front, ignoring the other person's existence, and rode past.
Li Guihua looked at the figure walking away and spat, "Bah—what the hell? Pauper."
Ever since Gu Wanxing took the pill, her ears and eyes have become sharper, so she naturally heard the other party's whispered curses.
But she didn't take it to heart, she... was home.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar gate, the rusty iron gate, and the old locust tree at the gate.
She was filled with infinite emotion. In her two lifetimes combined, she hadn't been back for thirty years.
This home has been the beginning of a nightmare for her since her mother died, so she didn't want to come back after escaping.
But now that she has been reborn, what is she afraid of?
Sun Huandi, Gu Zhenzhen, are you ready?
She raised the corner of her mouth, pushed her bicycle, and strode into the yard.
