Chapter 22: Empty the House, Plan Ahead, Action Tonight
The wind in late spring brings with it the restlessness of approaching summer, rustling the leaves.
Gu Wanxing stood at the factory gate, watching the pedestrians rushing past on the street, his heart filled with infinite longing for the future.
In this life, she must stand on the top of the mountain and overlook the prosperity of the world.
She trampled under her feet all those who had hurt her and crushed her dignity.
Gu Wanxing put away his wandering thoughts, got on his bike and headed straight for the gas station.
She wants to buy a gas tank, a matching gas stove, and a few pots and pans.
Now that the national economy is developing rapidly, the shortage of materials no longer exists, so as long as she has money, she can buy anything.
There was more than 15,000 yuan in the space, and she spent it without any regret.
I bought a gas tank and a double gas stove.
The boss took a lot of effort to tie these two things to the back seat of the bicycle for her. She rode her bicycle to a secluded place, entered the space with the bicycle, and took a lot of effort to untie them.
Then, he put the things in the space and pushed the bicycle out.
I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two iron pots and a steamer. Nowadays, steamers are made of aluminum, and no matter whether they are healthy or not, people use them now.
I bought a big water tank, a few spoons and a pair of chopsticks.
She went back and forth between the space and various grocery stores several times before she managed to buy almost everything she wanted.
I bought rice, flour, grain, oil, soy sauce, and even a lot of seeds.
She bought so many things and spent less than four hundred yuan in total. She had to sigh that money nowadays is really valuable.
Finally, when she passed by the hardware store, she also picked up screwdrivers, pliers, and even various nails and wrenches, spending another twelve dollars.
It was already past five in the afternoon when Gu Wanxing finished all this.
She rode her bicycle towards home in a good mood, facing the orange sunset.
What she didn't see was that a figure not far away was looking at her thoughtfully.
Fu Zheng was actually almost home when he remembered that he had forgotten to bring something for his sister, so he went back the same way and planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the things for his sister.
Anyway, he has plenty of time when he goes home on vacation.
As luck would have it, he met Gu Wanxing, who was riding a bicycle back and forth between various stores. She seemed to have bought a lot of things.
But it seems like I didn’t buy anything.
Because every time she finished shopping, she would go to a small dead end alley near the steel plant.
There were no residents there, only collapsed ruins and a puddle, which was a big pit where the factory discharged wastewater.
Mosquitoes and flies are everywhere before summer even arrives.
But it was such a place that Gu Wanxing went there several times, and unloaded the things he bought every time.
He even went to check after she left, but there was nothing.
…
Gu Wanxing was in a good mood on the way, but she sneezed several times in a row, which made her think she was catching a cold.
The pain and suffering from illness in her previous life made her immunity very weak. She caught a cold easily, which caused her to have a stress reaction.
I'm afraid I'll catch a cold as soon as I have any symptoms.
Fortunately, she has pills and the top-quality medicinal herbs from Fang Hou. She must take good care of herself in the future. At the same time, she also hopes that the pills can change her physique and keep her away from lung cancer.
Thinking of this, Gu Wanxing entered the village.
As soon as she turned into the alley, groups of people came towards her, forcing her to jump off her bike.
"Wanxing, you're back. That Gu Yuerou from your village is here again."
"Exactly. I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as her."
"Your mother-in-law has been framed as a thief by Cheng Yan, and she still has the nerve to come and borrow money."
"Hey, hey, why are you saying that? Let's get to the point. Wanxing, you have to be careful of Cheng Yan. He might want to lend your mother-in-law's coffin to that ungrateful Gu Yuerou."
An aunt standing at the back, seeing that no one was talking about the main point, interrupted them and revealed what she thought was the most important information to Gu Wanxing.
Gu Wanxing didn't expect that Zhao Chengyan could do this. She had originally thought of implementing her plan after the divorce, but it seems that she has to do it earlier.
"Alas, I have no say in this family. I can't stop him from giving the money to anyone. I really can't live like this anymore." Gu Wanxing sighed as he pushed his bicycle into the alley.
A feeling of powerlessness emanated from my whole body.
The aunts and sisters all felt particularly sympathetic towards the young wife in front of them. Since she married into Zhaowangtun, she had indeed been bullied by Liu Xifeng.
Suddenly, one of them caught the key point of what Gu Wanxing said.
"Wanxing, if you can't make it, what do you want to do?"
"Yes."
Gu Wanxing smiled bitterly: "I want a divorce."
After hearing this, several people stood there in a daze.
Gu Wanxing took the opportunity to ride his bicycle and rode away.
Divorces are rare in rural areas nowadays, unless the couple really can't live together anymore. But Gu Wanxing's current situation is obviously not at that level for them.
As the saying goes, you will never feel pain unless you cut yourself.
Who could understand the pain that Gu Wanxing felt when her own daughter pulled out the tubes from her body?
So don't be so presumptuous as to judge other people's lives because you have not experienced their suffering.
When he returned home, Gu Wanxing saw Zhao Chengyan sitting next to the well in the yard with a dejected look on his face.
She simply ignored him and went into the house.
Zhao Chengyan was so angry when he saw that she ignored him.
He followed him into the house angrily.
"Gu Wanxing—do you still have a heart?"
Zhao Chengyan was like a resentful husband, glaring at Gu Wanxing who had just entered the bedroom and had not even had time to put down his bag.
Gu Wanxing glanced at him indifferently: "Do I have the heart to care about you?"
"Don't you care what happens at home?"
Zhao Chengyan really wanted to find someone to talk to about his mother's bad behavior. It was really unreasonable.
But the woman in front of him seemed to be completely oblivious to what was happening at home.
She wasn't like this before. In the past, everything revolved around him and the children. She would occasionally complain about his mother, but he would always brush her off.
But now, it seems that Gu Wanxing has become a completely different person, especially towards Chaochao and herself. Cold is not enough to describe her attitude.
Gu Wanxing sneered, her tone still light and casual: "I don't care. By the way, when are you going to divorce me? There is absolutely no point in wasting time like this, and it's not good for you either."
Zhao Chengyan was stunned, and then his anger shot up to his head. "Divorce, divorce, is that all you want? I now suspect that you took my money. You want a divorce because you feel guilty."
"You can think whatever you want. All we need is a divorce."
After Gu Wanxing finished speaking, she ignored him and went to the kitchen. She took four eggs from the dish rack and fried them directly.
I haven't seen Liu Xifeng and Zhao Chao since I came back. They haven't come back yet at this time. I guess they went to Zhao Chengfang's house.
Her guess was right. Liu Xifeng was indeed angry and went to her daughter's house with her granddaughter, who was almost crying to death.
After eating the eggs, Gu Wanxing threw the bowl directly into the basin, not even bothering to wash it.
When she returned to the bedroom, Zhao Chengyan was not in the room. She simply locked the bedroom door and lay on the bed with her eyes closed. In fact, the scene in front of her eyes was the scene in the space. She checked the things she bought one by one, and now they were basically all there. She thought of making a simple kitchen under the stairs on the first floor.
Zhao Chengyan, who was next door, looked at the closed door and couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He always felt that something was getting farther and farther away from him, but when he looked carefully, he could not catch anything.
The night gradually deepened. Since Gu Wanxing entered the bedroom, she heard Zhao Chengyan go out once and lock the door.
No sound was heard from then on. She was holding a bottle of concentrated anesthetic powder in her hand. According to the records in the space book, this was the earliest inhalation anesthetic.
Once dispersed, all living things within a hundred meters will fall into a deep sleep and will not wake up even if the thunder is startled.
Even though Zhao Chengyan was the only one at home, she didn't dare to act rashly, so it was better to take some measures.
Gu Wanxing took the resistance drug in advance.
Tonight, she was going to deal a soul-destroying blow to the Zhao family and use space to empty out all the things in the house.
Liu Xifeng and her son had exploited her for so many years, and if they didn't steal five hundred yuan from her, they must have stolen at least four hundred yuan...
Zhao Chengyan was even more confused. He thought that all the things in his house would be stolen by Gu Yuerou in the future.
She works so hard and gives so much, why should she let others take the fruits of her labor?
So, plan ahead and act tonight.
