Chapter 1 Becoming the cannon fodder ex-wife of the richest man

The sun was setting in the west, and the cutting light and shadow divided the yard into two halves. Smoke was rising from the chimneys, and the yard was half bright and half dark.

Zhou's mother was cutting vegetable leaves in the shade. The green rapeseed leaves turned into thin green threads under her knife skills. After cutting a bunch of them, she grabbed a handful and scattered them on the ground.

The old hen and a group of fluffy yellow chicks were chirping and scrambling to peck at the shredded vegetables scattered on the ground.

"Mom, I'll take Jiang Xia to the health center." The man's low and mellow voice broke the tranquility of the yard.

Mother Zhou almost cut off her own finger!

She put down the kitchen knife and frowned: "What's the matter? Isn't the person awake?"

She just heard the couple talking.

"She has a fever and is a little confused. I'll take her to the health center." What Zhou Chenglei didn't say was: he suspected that Jiang Xia's brain was damaged by the fever.

He was talking nonsense and even touching him.

When asked what his name was, he said something like "he became the cannon fodder ex-wife of the richest man."

…

It was all nonsense, he didn't understand a word of it.

I can't listen to it anymore.

Mother Zhou frowned: "Can't you give her a packet of antipyretic powder?"

Zhou Chenglei shook his head.

Mother Zhou felt annoyed and said, "Then go ahead!"

"What? Go to the hospital again? Fever won't kill you, why go to the hospital? Fourth brother, do you think we have too much money or do you think we have a mountain of gold and silver that we haven't mined yet?"

Tian Caihua came out of the kitchen holding a pair of smoking tongs, her mouth spewing out words like a machine gun: "She was discharged from the hospital yesterday after jumping into the sea to commit suicide, and she went to the hospital again today? What did she do today? Did she jump into the sea or hang herself? Did she hit her head against the wall or cut her wrists?"

"Fourth brother, do you know that I don't dare to go out now! When I go out, everyone I meet asks me, 'Did your Jiang Xia run away with a man and was caught by your Zhou Chenglei, who forced her to jump into the sea and commit suicide?' 'I heard that your fourth brother's new wife, who is as beautiful as a flower and well-educated, eloped with someone. Is it true?'"

"You said she has only been married for a few days? She cried, made a scene, tried to hang herself, eloped, jumped into the sea, and hit her head against the wall. What did she want? She brought shame to our Zhou family! You don't find it embarrassing, but I do. My four sons still need to go to school! Even the teachers at school couldn't help but be curious."

Mother Zhou was so upset that she said unhappily, "Okay, stop talking."

She was also very dissatisfied with her new daughter-in-law, but it was already depressing enough that her son had married such a thing.

It was all her fault for not asking around clearly. She thought her son's boss thought highly of her son and was willing to marry his daughter to him.

If she had known Jiang Xia was such a person, she would have found an excuse to reject the marriage.

She only thought that her son was a capable man. He joined the army before graduating from junior high school, passed the college entrance examination while in the army, fought on the battlefield, made countless military exploits, and even became a battalion commander. Although he was discharged from the army due to an injury, he was qualified to marry the daughter of a factory director.

I didn't expect to marry a self-righteous girl with big eyes on her forehead, who looked down on them because they were from the countryside and sold fish! Tian Caihua was even more unhappy, "She can do that, why can't I say anything? How can there be such a person? If she doesn't want to marry me, then don't marry me! If she marries me, she will be so desperate that my fourth brother can't even enter the door. What's this? Is this still considered marrying a wife? She thinks she is a princess!"

"Fourth brother, tell me a definite answer. When will your wife stop making trouble? Can we still live like this?"

Zhou Chenglei was silent for a moment: "Sister-in-law, I'll take her to see a doctor first, and we'll talk when I come back."

Tian Caihua was finally satisfied, but she couldn't help but ask, "Why should I go to the hospital if I have a fever? It doesn't cost money to go to the hospital? A pack of antipyretic medicine can make a dead person jump up and down! She is a rich lady, and she goes to the hospital every few days, spending more than ten or twenty yuan each time."

Zhou's mother chopped the kitchen knife hard into the chopping board made of wooden stakes.

Tian Caihua immediately shut her mouth.

Mother Zhou looked at Zhou Chenglei and said, "Take her to the health center and see if she is well. Then send her back home."

Zhou's mother just wanted to send the person away as soon as possible.

The Zhou family can’t afford this ancestor!

Zhou Chenglei said nothing and turned back to the house.

Tian Caihua couldn't help but say, "Mom, remember to get the betrothal gift and medical expenses back when we divorce. Don't lose out!"

Zhou's mother gave her a cold look and pulled out a kitchen knife.

Tian Caihua hurried back to the kitchen, muttering softly, "I'm not wrong. When she married me, my fourth brother never even touched her hand. If we divorce, he won't give us back the betrothal gift. Isn't that a loss?"

Two thousand yuan is almost enough to buy a wooden boat.

Zhou's mother ignored her and continued chopping the vegetables.

~In the festively decorated new house, Jiang Xia listened to the entire conversation outside.

She looked at several very old objects in the room: a Huanan brand sewing machine, wooden carved glass windows, light bulbs, an old-fashioned kettle with big red flowers, and an enamel pot. The conversation was too vivid, and the scene was too real.

It took her more than ten minutes to confirm that she was not dreaming but was traveling through a book.

Moreover, she was transmigrated into a period novel titled "Reborn in the 1980s, Loved by the Richest Husband Every Night", and became the cannon fodder ex-wife of the male protagonist.

The protagonist's ex-wife is also called Jiang Xia. She is an idiot and brainless character created by the author, and a cannon fodder female supporting role who ruins a good hand of cards.

The original owner had a good family background. His father was a retired soldier who worked in a government department, and his mother was the director of a garment factory. His family was well off.

Her marriage to the male protagonist was arranged by her parents. At that time, the male protagonist was still in the military camp. He was already a battalion commander at a young age and had a bright future. She was very satisfied with him.

Who would have known that the male protagonist would be seriously injured during a mission, become deaf in one ear, and have to retire from the army.

Forget about his retirement and transfer to civilian work. When he retired and transferred to civilian work, he was already the head of a regiment. He can still have a very good job even after retirement. I heard that he is at least a department-level cadre in the city, and if he is in the town, he is at the secretary level. How prestigious is that?

Everyone around the original owner envied her, which made her feel proud of herself.

Who knew that after getting the marriage certificate and marrying into the Zhou family, she found out that the male protagonist had given the job opportunity to his second brother. He was a restless person, did not like working in the system, did not like sitting in an office, and wanted to go into business.

What he meant by going to sea was fishing for a living.

Isn't this just being a fisherman selling fish? The original owner couldn't accept it. She couldn't accept being a fisherman's wife and living in the countryside, so on the wedding night she started to make a scene and refused to sleep in the same bed with the male protagonist, and wanted a divorce.

Later, she was deceived by the sweet words of the domestic violence male supporting role and eloped with him, but she was caught by the male protagonist before she even ran out of the village.

When the man saw the male protagonist, he was so scared that he ran away. In panic, he pushed her into the sea, which led to Jiang Xia coming through.

Jiang Xia looked at the man with a strong aura who pushed the door open.

The man's figure was as tall and majestic as an unshakable mountain, solemn, cold and handsome, with an imposing aura.

He is worthy of being the male lead! Absolutely amazing!
