Chapter 73 Chapter 73

Jia Guoye said, "Something happened at home, I sent Xiaorui back to stay for one night."

"What's the matter?" Jia Kaiqian asked with concern.

Lin Fei said, "Come in first, let's talk."

She took her daughter's hand and snatched Xiaorui from Jia Guoye's side, looking distressed: "Hey, hey, what's wrong, Ruirui? Mother's darling, your eyes are still red?"

Jia Yourui held her mother's hand and was about to speak when she saw Chen Bingwen sitting at the dining table.

She was stunned.

Chen Bingwen smiled at her.

Jia Yourui was speechless for a moment. Suddenly seeing Chen Bingwen, she felt that time and space overlapped, and she forgot everything she was going to say to her mother.

Jia Guoye also glanced at Chen Bingwen, but soon, he felt that Xiaorui was not in a good mood and looked at her.

Seeing Xiaorui looking at Chen Bingwen without saying anything, Lin Fei introduced her: "This is Chen Bingwen. He was robbed of his money in a black car and had nowhere to go. He stayed in our house for a few days and waited for his family to pick him up."

She patted her daughter's hand and said, "He is a college student. He can help Liangliang with his homework while living in our house."

Jia Yourui was more sober and managed to calm down.

"Hello." She forced a smile.

Jia Yourui seemed calm and could even laugh, but her mind was filled with painful memories that she didn't want to recall:

Jia Yourui and Chen Bingwen's divorce seemed calm on the surface, just like any other couple who chose to separate due to emotional fatigue in middle age.

The whispers behind her back were mostly similar to:

"Professor Chen finally couldn't stand her anymore."

"I've said it a long time ago that they should get divorced sooner or later. A university professor and a rural girl who graduated from junior high school, who is just a little pretty but has no substance, I don't know how they could have fallen in love with each other."

"I heard that Professor Chen brought her out of the countryside, but she still makes trouble at home every day, always with a gloomy face, who knows who to show it to." ...

Probably everyone thinks that she is marrying up to Chen Bingwen, and she is not knowing what's good for her by not cooking for him, her attitude is always cold when she talks, and her relationship with her mother-in-law is very stiff.

But who knows, she was the first one to propose a divorce.

Jia Yourui really loved Chen Bingwen.

At that time, she was still troubled by the rumors about Jia Wenqing and completely ignored her nominal husband, Jia Guoye. Her life was gloomy day after day. She flirted with men who admired her beauty, but her heart was not moved at all.

Just when she was most vulnerable, Chen Bingwen appeared.

He was not from the village, but from a big city. He was humorous, knowledgeable, and had very gentle eyes. He behaved in a measured manner and did not say or do anything frivolous. He slowly opened her heart.

Jia Yourui once regarded Chen Bingwen as a man who could pull her out of the quagmire. She was full of love for him and was extremely lucky that he loved her. After experiencing great pain, she could still have a mutual love. He was even willing to take her away from the village, away from all the cold eyes and gossip. She thought she was lucky and wanted to grow old with Chen Bingwen. Who knew that her future life would be so dramatic.

Chen Bingwen's family was well-off, and he worked hard to be promoted to full professor and the vice dean of a key university. But she was just a girl who had nothing when he brought her out of the countryside. The only asset she had was that she had an overly beautiful face.

When she was in the village, her beauty was amazing. Even in the big city, she had never met anyone prettier than her, including many movie stars.

…

Jia Yourui said to herself in her heart: It doesn’t matter, the things of the last life are all in the past, just treat Chen Bingwen as a stranger.

But it is really difficult to do it. After all, in the last life, Chen Bingwen treated her shamelessly. He married her only because she had no family background and was completely dependent on him. She left her hometown and followed him to the city, so she was very easy to control.

Jia Yourui was a girl who grew up in the countryside and had no roots in Youjiang City. She was a wife that Chen Bingwen could completely control.

Before the divorce, she hated him very much because he didn't love her and didn't agree to separate. He even slept in separate rooms and transferred the property to her name, but Chen Bingwen just didn't agree to the divorce. The abnormal marriage made her suffer.

Jia had helped her, and he didn't know what method he used, but finally made Chen Bingwen sign the divorce with hatred.

After divorcing Chen Bingwen, Jia Yourui lived a happier life, so her hatred for him gradually faded. Although she still hated him at first sight, she could tolerate him.

...

Chen Bingwen walked up to her, stretched out his hand, and wanted to shake hands with her: "Hello." He smiled a little shyly, scratched his neck, and said: "No wonder Mingyu always said that my aunt is beautiful, it really lives up to her reputation."

He knew at a glance that he had found the right person. The seventeen-year-old girl had a pair of round almond eyes, full of spirit, and her facial features were not only delicate but also perfectly combined. When she smiled, she looked a little young, a very innocent smile.

...

A college student in his twenties, with a clean temperament and a pair of clear and innocent eyes, he looked at her with unsparing appreciation.

Jia Yourui, however, acted cold, ignored his hand, turned to find Lin Fei, and said aggrievedly: "Mom, I was scared today." The girl was acting coquettishly, and it was rare that she still had a childishness.

Chen Bingwen put down his hand awkwardly. He thought secretly that although she lived in the village, her life was not bad.

Lin Fei quickly put his arm around his daughter's shoulders and sat at the dining table. He asked his son to go to the kitchen to add two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and asked his wife to steam another bowl of dried chicken. He asked anxiously and softly, "What happened? Tell mother."

"A thief broke into the house. I don't know when he got in." Jia Yourui said, "He messed up my closet."

"What? Is this true?" Jia Kaiqian asked in shock, "Ruirui, are you okay?"

Jia Yourui shook her head, "Nothing."

"Guoye, how are you?" he asked again.

Jia Guoye said, "I'm fine. Send Ruirui home for one night. I'll go back tonight to check the house and nail up the window in Ruirui's room. The window faces the bamboo forest, which might be where the thief crawled in."

Jia Kaiqian said, "I'll go with you after dinner."

Jia Guoye said, "No, I can go alone."

Jia Kaiqian said: "No, I'm worried. What if the thief is still hiding in your house? At least our grandfather and I have someone to take care of him." He thought for a while and said: "Youkai, you should go with us. What kind of thief is it? Even if the three of us meet him with a knife, we are not afraid."

Jia Youkai said: "I know. I'll go after I finish my meal."

If it was for Jia Guoye, he would definitely not go, but the damn thief scared his sister. If he met him, just wait and see!

Jia Yourui had her mother picking up vegetables for her, Mingyu sitting next to her breaking cakes for her, her sister-in-law holding a small bowl of steamed chicken in front of her, and her father and brother were going to Dongjia Village to catch thieves for her.

Chen Bingwen saw it all. Although he knew in advance that Jia Yourui was very favored at home, he didn't expect it to be this way. In his opinion, rural areas mostly favored boys over girls. Even if the information said that the Jia family treated Jia Yourui very well, he didn't believe it was that good.

Because of time constraints, there was not much information, and even Jia Yourui's face was not photographed. It only said that the villagers said she was very beautiful, but the man she married was disfigured and had an ugly face. Chen Bingwen prepared himself mentally, but he was still stunned after seeing Jia Yourui.

But after meeting her husband, he was not too surprised. He had watched many TV series and movies, as well as books, and this was what the face looked like after being disfigured by fire.

It's just a pity, a flower stuck in cow dung. If a girl with such a beautiful face grows up in a wealthy family in the city, she will definitely have a prosperous future and be spoiled by everyone.

Everyone at the dinner table was talking to Jia Yourui, and he also wanted to talk to her, but he didn't know if it was a coincidence or she deliberately ignored him, Jia Yourui always took over the conversation as if she didn't hear his voice.

After a while, Chen Bingwen shut up.

He was also thin-skinned, and the many times he was ignored made him look like a little clown who attracted attention. He felt that her husband seemed to look at him twice.

......

"Ms. Chen, let's go do our homework." This time Jia Mingliang was really full, and she wiped her mouth with satisfaction.

"Okay." Chen Bingwen finished the last mouthful of porridge and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Have you eaten enough, Teacher Chen?" Liu Xiuli asked, "Are you tired these days? Do you want another bowl? Let Liangliang do her homework first."

Chen Bingwen shook his head, smiled slightly, and said, "No, my stomach will feel uncomfortable if I eat too much at night."

Liu Xiuli said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Thank you, Teacher Chen. If Liangliang doesn't listen, just tell me and I will teach her a lesson."

"Mom~" Jia Mingliang was a little dissatisfied.

Chen Bingwen glanced at Jia Mingliang and said, "No, Liangliang is very obedient."

"That's right, I am very obedient." Jia Mingliang happily put his hands on his waist.

...

Chen Bingwen took Jia Mingliang into the house to do his homework.

Liu Xiuli's smile had not yet faded as she turned around and said, "I don't know how long Teacher Chen can stay at our house. It would be great if his family could reply to our letters later, so that he can stay with us longer. I think Liangliang's grades will improve sooner or later if he studies with him."

"Of course he is a college student after all." Lin Fei said enviously, "I don't know how many years it will take for our village to produce one."

...

In Xijia village, the best student and the one with the highest cultural level is undoubtedly Jia Wenqing, who was admitted to the secondary teachers' college. After graduation, he was assigned to teach in the county school. His parents were very famous for a while and walked around the village with their heads held high. He could actually go to high school, but his family conditions were not good, and his parents did not support him to take the high school entrance exam. Jia Wenqing himself also felt that instead of fighting for the college entrance examination, which might not have much hope, it would be better to go directly to a technical secondary school and become a teacher after graduation, which is definitely a good job.

...

After dinner, Jia Kaiqian and his son and Jia Guoye went to Dongjia Village together.

Usually, Lin Fei and Liu Xiuli, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, cleaned up the dishes and boiled water to wash the dishes together, but today, Liu Xiuli saw that her mother-in-law was reluctant to let go of Xiaorui's hand, smiled helplessly, and said: "Mom, I will do the housework tonight, you can have a good talk with my little sister."

Jia Mingyu also took a small stool and sat next to Jia Yourui. He likes to be close to his aunt the most.
