Chapter 40: Bride Robbery

Xia Lanlan felt that her expression was irritating, but she still took the sugar cake and started eating. Halfway through, she sighed and said, "I just don't want to go to the countryside. Is that wrong?"

She sneered: "Nine out of ten things in life are not satisfactory. There will be many things you don't want to think about in the future. Slowly you will get used to it."

The sugar cake was soft and fluffy, but Xia Lanlan felt choked. She took a sip of soda and said quietly, "Is there really nothing we can do?"

"Not that there is no such thing." She crossed her arms and paced around Xia Lanlan for a few times: "If you have the ability, find a director or something to marry you, then you don't have to go to the countryside. If you can't find a director, you can find a director."

"But from what I can see, either you saved his life, or you have something that could kill him. Otherwise, the director or whatever, unless he's blind, probably won't agree to it."

Xia Zhizhi patted her shoulder and said, "Someone in the family must go to the countryside. My eldest brother won't go. I'm getting married soon, so it can only be you. Go to the countryside and work hard. In the future, if I have old clothes that I don't wear anymore, I will send them to you, so that you won't suffer too much."

After she finished speaking, she put her hands behind her back and walked home happily.

Xia Lanlan looked at her back, tightened her grip on the sugar cake, broke the cake into pieces, threw it hard on the ground, and stepped on it a few times.

Someone in the family needs to get married, someone needs to carry on the family line, and she is the only one who can go to the countryside, so why can't she be the one who gets married!

In the past, when Xia Ruhai and his wife were plotting against Xia Zhizhi, they always brought Xia Lanlan and Xia Jianguo along. However, Xia Lanlan had not performed well recently, so they excluded her. However, that does not mean that Xia Lanlan did not know about their plan.

They felt that they had a hard time controlling Xia Zhizhi and wanted to make it a fait accompli so that Xia Zhizhi would have to admit it and wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Does that mean she can also make the matter a fait accompli? If Lu Weiguang doesn't take responsibility, he'll be a hooligan and will be shot, so he will definitely take responsibility!

I'll see if Xia Zhizhi can still be so arrogant at that moment. Wasn't it because she relied on this status that she mocked and humiliated me before?

Xia Lanlan had a plan in mind, but she didn't show it on her face. She followed her home and as soon as she got home she spontaneously started to help with cooking.

Xia Ruhai and Lu Weiguang sat in the living room and had an awkward chat. Xia Zhizhi pried open the canned fruit that Lu Weiguang had brought, and ate the egg cakes he had brought, crossing her legs, and ate them one bite at a time, looking very happy.

Soon the food was served. Li Dongmei invited Lu Weiguang to eat. She wanted to give him a chicken drumstick. She quickly handed the bowl over and said to Lu Weiguang, "Eat less and lose weight. Look at your belly!"

After saying that, she put the two chicken legs, chicken gizzards and chicken wings into her own bowl. In the big bowl, everyone was stirring it around with chopsticks, and she couldn't eat any more.

Lu Weiguang smiled and picked some greens to eat: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Eat more and replenish yourself."

Since Lu Weiguang had said so, Xia Ruhai and his wife didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that Xia Zhizhi might go crazy and flip the table.

Xia Ruhai invited Lu Weiguang to drink.

After finishing her meal, Xia Zhizhi threw away her bowl, wiped her mouth, stood up and said, "I'm full, you guys take your time."

Then he said to Li Dongmei, "Mom, Li Ling wants to see me for something. I'm going to their house. If you need anything, ask Lanlan to call me."

"Kid, can't you go another day?" Li Dongmei tried to persuade him to stay: "We have guests at home."

"What guests? Aren't they all my family?" Xia Zhizhi didn't care at all. She said to Lu Weiguang, "You stay here and have a good drink with my dad. I'm going out to play with my classmates."

Instead of stopping him, Lu Weiguang stood up and reached into his pocket: "Go have fun if you have nothing else to do. Do you want to go shopping? I'll give you some money."

"No, I'm not going to the mall today." Xia Zhizhi said, and ran away in a flash.

After Xia Zhizhi left, the Xia family's dinner table was not dull either. Xia Ruhai and Lu Weiguang, one with ulterior motives, urged people to drink, and the other wanted to show off in front of his father-in-law. After showing off a bottle of white wine, they felt unsatisfied and took out half a pound of bulk wine.

Lu Weiguang felt a little dizzy, and stood up with the help of the table. He wanted to say goodbye and go home, but Xia Ruhai pulled him back and said, "I'm worried about you going back like this. Zhizhi isn't home anyway, so you can rest in his room and go home after you sober up."

After saying this, he helped Lu Weiguang into the room and winked at Li Dongmei.

Li Dongmei made a bowl of maltose, added a packet of white unknown powder into it, mixed it evenly, and brought it in.

"Come on, Weiguang, drink a bowl of maltose before going to bed, or you'll feel uncomfortable later."

One of them held his head, and the other held the bowl, and poured the liquid into his mouth.

Then he called Xia Lanlan: "Go and call Xia Zhizhi back."

"I can go, but I have conditions," Xia Lanlan said.

Li Dongmei wanted to curse, but was afraid of wasting time, so she said angrily, "What conditions?"

"After I go to the countryside, you have to give me 10 yuan a month."

Li Dongmei frowned: "Too many."

"Then I won't go."

"Okay, I'll give you the subsidy, go ahead." Li Dongmei responded. She agreed first, but it was up to her to decide whether to give it or not in the future.

"Okay, you guys go out, I'll lock the door, and then I'll go find Xia Zhizhi." Xia Lanlan said.

"What are we going out for?" Li Dongmei asked suspiciously, "You don't want to call her, do you?"

"If you don't go out, do we have to watch from the sidelines?" Xia Lanlan rolled her eyes: "What will the people around think of us? How can you come back and catch the adulterer?"

This was all planned by the family, but recently their trust has been broken.

That makes sense.

Li Dongmei said, "Then your father and I will go downstairs and take a walk, and then go shopping in the department store. You call Xia Zhizhi back and ask her to lock the door after entering the house. It's done. When you go to the countryside, I will give you 20 yuan as pocket money."

It is necessary to add financial temptation to make it more secure.

"I know, I know." Xia Lanlan replied impatiently.

Xia Ruhai and Li Dongmei were chatting with someone downstairs. After watching Xia Lanlan go downstairs and head towards Li's house, they found an excuse to leave.

Xia Lanlan was quite smart at this time. She hid in the corner at the back and watched. She went home only after she saw Xia Ruhai and Li Dongmei walked away.

After returning home, he locked the door first and looked at Lu Weiguang lying on the bed, squirming non-stop because of the effect of the bowl of boar breeding powder he drank. He made up his mind and took off his clothes.

I comforted myself in my heart, thinking that it was no big deal, this time would come sooner or later, it didn't matter who I slept with, Lu Weiguang was powerful and influential, and if I married him I would never have to worry about food and drink, and I could spend money lavishly, it was worth it!

As for the pain, everyone has different physiques. She didn't think it was a big deal. It wasn't as painful as when Xia Zhizhi hit her. She just thought of it as a mosquito bite and could get over it by gritting her teeth.
