"It hurts!"
Cheng Xiao Kui rubbed her stomach, which was aching so badly it felt like it was going to explode, and muttered to herself.
Suddenly, an old woman's voice rang in her ears, "Oh dear! She's alive!! Thank goodness!"
Two cold, mocking laughs followed.
"She's alive? Cheng Xiao Kui actually came back to life! Heaven really has no eyes!"
"She cheated on her husband, stole a whole batch of soybeans, and robbed children of their food rations! Even the King of Hell wouldn't bother taking her! Bah!!"
Cheng Xiao Kui?!
Isn't Cheng Xiao Kui the name of a cannon fodder female supporting character in a very popular period novel?!
The cannon fodder female supporting character is an educated youth sent to the countryside. In order to return to the capital with the army, she took advantage of the fact that the officer Si Muyang was drunk when he came back to the village to visit his relatives. She climbed into Si Muyang's bed and then made a scene, threatening to hang herself, saying that Si Muyang had raped her!
She demanded that Si Muyang take responsibility, or she would sue him for indecent assault and rape!
In this day and age, issues of conduct are far more important than any other!
If someone makes a mistake in conduct, they will be discharged from the military in no time.
For the sake of her son's future, Si Muyang's mother forced him to marry Cheng Xiaokui.
Cheng Xiao Kui was lazy and shirked her duties. She was always hardworking and could not find anyone to do the work. She had to fight for food, and she even snatched food from the hands of children!
The entire village loathed her; even the dogs wanted to slap her when they saw her!
She had been married to Si Muyang for two years when he refused to let her join him in the army. So she cheated on her husband with another man, hoping to force herself on a young educated youth in the village who had a return quota, so that he could take her back to the capital.
Who knew that as soon as she sneaked into the educated youth's room under the cover of darkness, she was caught by the educated youth who were already on guard and taken to the village branch.
Her affair reached the ears of Si Muyang in the capital, who returned to the village to discuss divorce with her.
Knowing she was in the wrong, she ran up the mountain to hide, stole soybeans planted by the brigade, roasted them, and ate them. She ended up eating too many and almost choked to death.
Two children herding sheep on the mountain found her and ran back to the village to get people to carry her back.
According to the book, she got her just deserts and died at best; they didn't even need to sign a divorce agreement.
Cheng Xiao Kui was jolted awake, her mind reeling as if struck by lightning. Could she have transmigrated into a historical romance novel and become this cannon fodder female supporting character?!
She slightly opened her eyes. The mud-brick house, the old, yellowed, and incomplete New Year pictures, the blackened table with peeling paint...
Wow! What a handsome man!
This kind of male beauty...
Huh! No wonder Cheng Xiao Kui insisted on blaming Si Mu Yang and wanted to go back to the capital with him.
The text describes Si Muyang's handsomeness, but fails to capture his heroic aura and domineering presence.
The man stood there silently, hands behind his back, exuding an aura of overwhelming power and a chilling, domineering presence.
She was momentarily stunned...
The guard jumped up and shouted, "I told you she was faking her death! Look, look, she opened her eyes! God has no eyes, how could there be such a thing as her!"
"Even a pig would be better than her, Chief! Get up and sign the divorce papers! Go ahead and die if you dare!"
"Oh! Die already!"
"Living wastes air, dying makes the ground stink!"
The villagers gathered outside the window cursed indignantly!
They've seen bad women, but they've never seen a woman as bad as Cheng Xiao Kui!
Standing anxiously by the kang (a heated brick bed), Lin Qiuru saw that Cheng Xiaokui had woken up and reached out to help her sit up.
She asked softly, "Are you thirsty? But you can't drink water now, or your stomach will burst and you'll die! I'll get you some water to moisten your lips."
Lin Qiuru is Si Muyang's mother, a kind mother-in-law who has never made things difficult for her.
He was also the only person who shed tears for her after her death!
Cheng Xiao Kui felt a mix of emotions. How did she end up in the body of a female supporting character who wouldn't even last an episode?
She truly let down Lin Qiuru's kindness; Lin Qiuru was the only person in the entire book who cared about her life or death.
She obediently nodded, took the little bit of water that Lin Qiuru poured for her, and moistened her lips with it.
She took a moment to calm herself and looked around at the house, which was so poor that it was practically bare.
Logically speaking, an officer of Si Muyang's rank, although not well-paid, shouldn't be this poor.
However, Si Muyang used all the money to support the families of his fallen comrades and also cared for two orphans left behind by his comrades.
She looked down at her slightly plump figure. In this village where everyone was starving and looked like a chick, the fact that she had managed to eat so much food that she had become like this was quite remarkable!
"Sign the divorce papers! Get a divorce now! Or I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Count me in!
"Me too!"
The shouts and curses outside the window grew increasingly louder, and the angry villagers were itching to rush in and force Cheng Xiao Kui to sign the divorce papers.
Si Muyang gave the guard a wink.
The two guards reluctantly left the room and drove the villagers who had been watching out of the yard.
Seeing that it was finally quiet outside, Si Muyang took out a prepared divorce agreement and handed it to Cheng Xiaokui.
He could tolerate Cheng Xiao Kui climbing into his bed and clinging to him, he could tolerate all the evil deeds Cheng Xiao Kui committed in the village, but Cheng Xiao Kui actually cheated on her husband with another man...
Cheng Xiao Kui took the divorce agreement and pen and signed her name on it without hesitation.
She was destined to transmigrate into Cheng Xiao Kui's body, and she knew she was so wicked that even dogs hated her...
How could she possibly stay by Si Muyang's side any longer? She should just let him live and grant him his happiness!
Si Muyang stared at Cheng Xiaokui in astonishment. Cheng Xiaokui had actually signed the divorce papers!
Moreover, she was so fresh and didn't hesitate at all...
The next moment, he gave a helpless, bitter smile. He figured that Cheng Xiao Kui probably liked the educated youth she had tried to force herself on now.
But that educated youth would never marry Cheng Xiao Kui...
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although we have signed a divorce agreement, you can continue to live here. Xiaolongbao will take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die."
Cheng Xiao Kui looked up in surprise and glanced at the man gratefully!
What a handsome man! If I don't take a second look, he'll be someone else's!
Si Muyang's gaze met Cheng Xiaokui's. It was a clear look in her eyes that he had never seen before, and it was also a side of Cheng Xiaokui that he had never seen before.
His brow furrowed slightly. He clearly hated the woman who had forced herself on him, but once he actually signed the divorce papers, he didn't seem to hate her as much anymore...
He asked with a stern face, "What are you looking at? Never seen this before?"
Cheng Xiao Kui swallowed hard, unable to resist the urge to do so. Of course, she'd never seen anything like it before!
She managed to say, "Um... well, I'm sorry, you're free! I wish you and Song Yalan a long and happy marriage!"
Si Muyang's face darkened. "She and I are just ordinary colleagues. Don't talk nonsense!"
Cheng Xiao Kui quickly nodded her head, "Yes, yes, I was just talking nonsense! You don't have anything else to say, right? Bye!"
She quickly changed the subject. How could she have let something slip? Song Yalan was the female lead of this book. She was smart, capable, virtuous, and gentle. She was full of virtues and brilliance. In everyone's eyes, only Song Yalan was worthy of her boss, Mu Yang.
Si Muyang was indeed leaving. He and Song Yalan were going to a secret base in the county town for a meeting, and they were coming back on the way to sign the divorce agreement. He didn't have much time.
He put the divorce agreement in the document folder. The agreement only needed his signature before they could get their divorce certificate...
