Xia Baozhu went backstage and confirmed that there were three kidnapped girls. She tied up the human traffickers and went out.
She turned on her flashlight and shone it; this was her secret signal with Sun Xingyan.
Sun Xingyan responded quickly, which meant he was going to find the police.
The police station is right next to the temple fair. When Sun Xingyan called the police, he said that he heard crying coming from a tent when he passed by, which startled him.
After confirming that the police had arrived, Xia Baozhu left.
The two met at the entrance of the temple fair and walked back slowly, hand in hand.
"Wife, you're so smart." Lying in bed, Sun Xingyan hugged Xia Baozhu tightly and kissed her again and again.
"It was just a coincidence." It just so happened that the family who lost their child was staying in the same guesthouse and on the same floor.
"Wife, you're too modest." Sun Xingyan admired Xia Baozhu's calm and collected attitude, which gave him a peculiar narcissistic complex.
He often had the thought, "My wife is so amazing that she chose me, which proves that I am amazing too."
The next day, Xia Baozhu and Sun Xingyan slept until late morning, having gone to bed too late the night before.
The two had breakfast at the temple fair and then went to the temple.
The temple was crowded, with the most devout worshippers being elderly, while most people just came in for a look and then left.
Sun Xingyan bought two sticks of incense, one for each person.
After the kneeling ceremony ended, the two smiled at each other, and Sun Xingyan led Xia Baozhu out.
"Baozhu, what did you wish for just now?"
"Can I speak?" Xia Baozhu turned to look at the temple with its wisps of incense smoke, where the statues of deities stood solemnly.
She didn't believe in these things before, but after transmigrating here, she started to believe. However, she didn't know who to believe in, and she couldn't just worship anyone randomly.
Moreover, it's obvious that bringing her here was meant to make her suffer. Should she be grateful or resentful?
“Okay.” Sun Xingyan was eager to know if Xia Baozhu’s wish was the same as his.
"I promise you that you will return safely and healthily when you go out," Xia Baozhu said with a smile.
She didn't make too many wishes, because she was afraid the gods would be too busy.
"Wife, you're so good to me." Sun Xingyan was deeply moved. He hugged Xia Baozhu and kissed her forehead hard, which attracted the pointing and whispering of passersby.
"Let's go, let's continue exploring the temple fair." Xia Baozhu now takes other people's advice in stride; she's developed a thick skin from following Sun Xingyan.
Thick-skinned people don't care about other people's opinions and live a carefree life.
Rather than enduring it yourself, it's better to let others endure it.
If you can't stand it, just keep it to yourself.
"Wife, aren't you going to ask me what I wished for?" Sun Xingyan was holding back, waiting for Xia Baozhu to ask him, but she just wouldn't, making him anxious.
Didn't you tell me before you came?
"Okay." Sun Xingyan's confession lingered in his mouth before he swallowed it back.
Back in Taicheng, Xia Baozhu summoned Li Wenbin, who had volunteered to work, and asked him to find out which factories had closed down.
At this moment, Xia Laidi was arguing with Liu Guangjun. She wanted to go back to Taicheng to work and earn money as soon as possible.
Now that Liu Guangjun has money, he's been flattered by his old cronies for the past few days and has been going out to gamble every day, losing almost a hundred yuan.
Xia Laidi found a fifty-yuan IOU while washing his clothes, and her anger flared up immediately.
When Liu Guangjun returned, she questioned him about the IOU.
Liu Guangjun didn't take it seriously. He earns a lot of money every month now, so what's wrong with taking a trip once a year?
"If it weren't for my sister taking us in, do you think you could have earned so much money?" Xia Laidi's words angered Liu Guangjun, who then started hitting her repeatedly.
"Ah! Liu Guangjun, you bastard!" Xia Laidi picked up the ceramic jar on the table and hit Liu Guangjun with it.
A ceramic jar is not heavy enough to hurt Liu Guangjun; it would only enrage him further.
He kicked Xia Laidi to the ground and kicked her hard.
"Damn it, you think you're something just because you have a sister? You dare to hit me? If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll start riding on my head." Liu Guangjun cursed and hit him with all his might.
"Mom! Mom!" Liu Runan screamed in fright. She ran over and pushed Liu Guangjun, but he shoved her to the ground.
The elderly couple from the Liu family came out and watched their son teach their daughter-in-law a lesson, feeling very pleased.
A wife needs to be taught a lesson like this. She went out for a while and suddenly thinks she's a city person, daring to boss them around. Doesn't she even know if she has any say in this family?
Liu Guangjun vented all the frustration he had accumulated at work over the past six months by kicking Xia Laidi repeatedly until he was exhausted.
"Remember this, Xia Laidi, in this house, I'm the one who calls the shots. Don't think you can ride roughshod over me just because you have a few stinking bucks!"
After venting his anger, Liu Guangjun ignored Liu Runan's wailing cries, took all the money from Xia Laidi's bag, stuffed it in his pocket, and left.
Xia Laidi was beaten so badly she couldn't get up, and her eyes showed intense hatred.
Without her sister, she's a good-for-nothing, completely incompetent.
Since she's incapable, she'll stay where she is and not go anywhere else.
This is not her home, it's a wolf's den.
It's ridiculous that she thought she could make money and that the Liu family would respect her.
She was wrong, terribly wrong.
A person like Liu Guangjun will never change his ways.
She wants a divorce too!
Ru Nan would definitely be beaten and scolded frequently if she followed Liu Guangjun, so she wanted to take Ru Nan with her.
She can't do it, but her sister can.
"Mommy, Mommy." Liu Runan scrambled to her feet and threw herself into her mother's arms, her eyes brimming with tears. "I'm scared."
In the six months of happiness she had lived, she had never seen anything so terrible. Her father was beating her mother like a monster, and she was going to tell her aunt.
Xia Laidi was pressed on a sore spot by her daughter, and she clenched her teeth in pain without making a sound.
Thanks to this pain, she finally understood her current situation.
Even if they don't divorce now, they'll still divorce once they have more money.
People like Liu Guangjun are not the type to settle down and live a peaceful life.
The funny thing is, she even wants to have a second child after buying a house. That's ridiculous.
She's so shameless to have a child with a man like that!
Xia Laidi lay on the cold ground, holding her daughter, and let out a series of cold laughs.
Xia Baozhu received a call from her sister, who said that she had been beaten by Liu Guangjun and wanted to return to Taicheng, but Liu Guangjun refused.
Upon hearing that Xia Laidi had been beaten, Sun Xingyan immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily: "That Liu Guangjun is a real scoundrel, he doesn't know what's good for him. Come on, Baozhu, let's go and bring your sister and Ru Nan back."
“No, call Liu Guangjun back as well,” Xia Baozhu said coldly. “I was too polite to him before.”
She wanted to ensure that Liu Guangjun would be haunted by this place for the rest of his life.
Sun Xingyan asked a friend who drove a van to take him to Liu Guangjun's house.
