Chen Tieshu, who had been a bachelor for more than 30 years, got a wife from somewhere and locked herself up in a cave every day, not even going out to play for money.

This is big news in Chenjialiang.

Every day, people would come to the door of the two dilapidated cave dwellings of Chen Tieshu's family to peek in and see what was going on.

Everyone speculated that this woman might have been abducted by Chen Tieshu from somewhere, but no one thought of reporting the case.

We are from the same village and have the same surname. We will meet each other every day. There is no need to offend Chen Tieshu for a stranger.

This old bachelor finally got a wife, and now he loses her. Who knows what he will do.

The gossip about Chen Jialiang did not spread to Haowan Village.

However, Zhao Ru came to report to Qin Hanshu as if she was seeking credit.

"...If nothing unexpected happens, she will have to stay in that poor place of Chenjialiang for the rest of her life, trapped by such a man!"

"She used to bully you at school. Are you happy now?"

"Qin Hanshu, I was blinded by greed before and listened to her instigation to go against you... This time, I have helped you to vent your anger. Let's write off our scores, shall we?"

Niu Quangen has gone to repair the dam and has to live at the construction site. Zhao Ru plans to go to the county in the next two days to get a train ticket.

Before leaving, Zhao Ru wanted to resolve the conflict with Qin Hanshu.

In case Qin Hanshu returns to the city in the future and they meet again, Qin Hanshu won’t still be thinking about her.

In short, Zhao Ru felt uneasy when she thought about having offended Qin Hanshu in the past.

Zhao Ru looked at Qin Hanshu expectantly.

Qin Han said slowly: "If no one offends me, I won't offend anyone."

Zhao Ru breathed a sigh of relief and went back briskly.

But soon, her good mood disappeared.

The money she had hidden in the box was gone.

Upon closer inspection, the lock had been pried open!

No need to think about who did it!

No wonder... No wonder Niu Quangen looked at her with a strange look when he left.

He must have discovered it a long time ago.

She thought she was perfect!

Zhao Ru broke out in cold sweat.

Niu Quangen, who looks like an honest man, is actually so scheming!

Although she was not tied up like Hu Wenwen, she seemed to be covered by an invisible net and could not break free.

Zhao Ru lost her strength and collapsed to the ground.

***

When Qin Hanshu was provoking Zhao Ru, he knew what Hu Wenwen would suffer.

She wanted to take revenge on Hu Wenwen, but she didn't have to do everything herself.

She had thought that if Zhao Ru was not helpful, she would have to go to the county train station in person to make sure Hu Wenwen was captured by the farm.

Zhao Ru is a good knife expert and she is very satisfied with the result.

Considering what Hu Wenwen did to Qin Feiyang's wife in her previous life, this outcome is not excessive at all.

Chenjialiang is poor, and girls from other villages are unwilling to marry there. It is a relatively isolated place.

Zhao Ru was right. Hu Wenwen would most likely spend the rest of her life in Chen Jialiang, a place that was hell to her.

In her previous life, she was a noble lady with a handsome and loving husband, a career, and endless wealth and glory.

In this life, she became a Xieyu machine for the lowest class of men, living the poorest life, without even personal freedom.

The meaning of Hu Wenwen's rebirth is to suffer.

Hatred is hatred, but Qin Hanshu did not let hatred occupy his entire life.

Knowing that Hu Wenwen was not doing well, she put the matter aside for the time being.

As the New Year approached, she received a letter from Qin Feiyang.

In this letter, Qin Feiyang finally talked about his girlfriend.

The relationship should be stable.

Qin Feiyang also said in the letter that if nothing unexpected happened, he would file a marriage report next summer and asked her to go to the army to attend the wedding.

Qin Feiyang didn't see Hu Wenwen face to face very often, and even less often with his wife.

Qin Hanshu had met this sister-in-law once when she followed Hu Wenwen in her previous life. She even heard her name, Cao Jing, only later.

It matched the Jingjing in Qin Feiyang's letter.

Qin Hanshu was sincerely happy for his brother and wrote back, saying that he would definitely attend the wedding...

On New Year's Eve, Zhou Ruilan came and asked Qin Hanshu to go to Zhou's house to celebrate New Year's Eve.

It’s okay on normal days, but New Year’s Eve is a holiday for family reunions, so it’s inappropriate to go to someone else’s house.

Qin Hanshu said he didn't go at all.

The educated youth celebrated the New Year together.

This time there was no division into new and old groups, and everyone had a reunion dinner together.

Early in the morning on New Year's Day, Qin Hanshu was still lying on the kang when Zhang Yao came knocking on her door, saying that someone from the Zhou family had come.

Qin Hanshu thought it was Zhou Ruilan.

When he went out to look, it turned out to be Zhou Weiguang.

He was wearing a military coat and holding something in his hands. He stood upright at the edge of the yard with a serious expression, as if he was standing at attention.

"Brother Zhou San?" Qin Hanshu tightened his coat and walked over. "What's the matter with you coming here so early?"

Zhou Weiguang turned around and handed the thing in his hand to Qin Hanshu.

It was a steaming grate, covered with flannel. Through the flannel, you could see that it was filled with big, white dumplings.

"Comrade Qin Hanshu."

Zhou Weiguang swallowed.

"I'm here to bring you dumplings, Happy New Year."

After a while, he finally added, "My mother asked me to come."
