When she woke up again, Chen Yunyun was lying in the county hospital.
Xia Lan was afraid of noise, so she asked someone to arrange a private room for her.
She couldn't eat and had an IV drip in the back of her hand.
Xia Lan sat by her bedside and talked to her, "Xu Jingsheng has been at the team leader's house for days, making a fuss about wanting to see you."
Chen Yunyun lowered her eyes. "He's still missing. Please ask my aunt to take good care of him."
Xia Lan said irritably, "Don't worry about those things. Your Jingsheng is a real character. When Huzi is away at school, your auntie really dotes on him."
"I'll go find you a caregiver this afternoon to take care of you."
"Eat more, and you'll get better no matter what illness you have."
Chen Yunyun nodded in agreement, unwilling to say anything more.
After Xia Lan left, Chen Yunyun calculated the money she had left.
After deducting the money for buying a house in the province and other miscellaneous expenses from last year's dividends and salary, I still had a little over a thousand yuan left.
Courtyard houses in Beijing cannot be sold.
How can I support three children with just over a thousand dollars?
She wrote a long letter and had someone mail it.
Not long after, in the dirty and smelly cowshed of Xujia Village, a boy of about ten years old opened the envelope.
Upon reading the contents of the letter, the boy was stunned for a moment, then quickly burned it.
A few days later, the boy changed into clean clothes and knocked on Chen Yunyun's hospital room door.
As expected of the male protagonist in the book, even after being stranded in a cowshed for a year or two, he still couldn't hide his charisma.
"come over."
The caregiver placed two pillows behind Chen Yunyun to make her more comfortable.
The boy remained silent, his eyes filled with inquiry.
Chen Yunyun waved her hand, and the caregiver left, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.
Her voice was a little hoarse, and she spoke slowly.
"Everything in the letter is true."
"If you do as I say."
“You can stay at my house with your grandfather, and you won’t have to live in the cowshed anymore.”
"When you're not working, you can read books at my house."
The boy's fingers, hidden beneath his sleeves, were turning slightly white from the force he was applying. He looked at Chen Yunyun with suspicion in his eyes.
Why should I believe you?
"The things you've asked me to do are no small matters."
Any one of these things, if taken out of context, would be a capital offense.
Chen Yunyun smiled, her pale face devoid of color. "Do you have any other choice?"
"Do you want to spend your whole life in the cowshed?"
"Your grandfather is not young, is he? When old people get sick, they don't recover so easily."
Chen Yunyun is skilled at using coercion and enticement.
Lu Changting knew that the woman in front of him had hit his weak spot.
Every word he said resonated deeply with him.
He gritted his teeth, having no other choice, and said, "I promise you."
Chen Yunyun took out 1,000 yuan from her bag and handed it to him.
Lu Changting raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you afraid I'll embezzle it?"
The woman smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust."
She extended her hand to him.
His gaze fell on his thin, calloused hands. This was the first time anyone had shown him respect since he was labeled one of the "Five Black Categories."
Lu Changting pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then offered his hand.
Hands clasped together.
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
After Lu Changting left, Chen Yunyun lay on the bed, feeling somewhat exhausted.
Just saying a few words took a lot of her energy.
But she burst out laughing.
Isn't Heaven going to punish her?
So, how should Heaven decide when someone as unlucky as her is bound to the male protagonist, who is the chosen one?
When the truth comes out, the male protagonist goes to jail?
Ah, this little world wouldn't dare risk collapsing.
Chen Yunyun laughed until tears streamed down her face. She had tricked Tiandao, and all the resentment she had been holding in was swept away.
The system observed this and secretly sighed at the host's cunning and treacherous nature.
This seemingly hopeless situation might actually be something she can turn around!
Rong Yan left in a huff, knowing full well that Chen Yunyun's words were all said in anger.
But it's hard to avoid getting angry at such words.
He took a train to the port overnight, and then took a ferry to Hong Kong.
The first thing I did upon returning was to go find Rong Yu.
With his reputation as a master, Rong Yu was doing very well in Hong Kong.
The villa he lives in now was a gift from a wealthy man.
Rong Yan walked to the door and barged into the villa before the servants could open it.
His younger brother was surrounded by bikini-clad beauties, having a great time by the pool.
Rong Yan stormed in and lifted Rong Yu out of the water with one hand, startling the women into screaming.
Rong Yu looked impatient. "What are you doing? Don't think that just because you're my brother you can tell me what to do."
"Let's have a fight."
"What?"
Rong Yan didn't say much, but dragged Rong Yu to the back garden of the villa. "I want your Heart-Protecting Scale."
Rong Yu's eyes widened. "Are you sick in the head?"
"You already pulled out my tendons and shaved my bones, wasn't that enough? You want my protective scales? You might as well let me die!"
All his remaining spiritual power was in the Heart-Protecting Scale, which was essentially his second life.
He would never take it out.
"If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me, even if you cut my tendons and bones."
Rong Yan's expression was indifferent, but his tone was not joking.
Rong Yu dropped his nonchalant demeanor, his eyes turning sinister. "You said it yourself."
The two agreed to a duel three days later in a deserted area of the sea.
The day had been sunny after the rain, but soon a storm broke out with heavy rain and dark clouds.
The rain was heavy, accompanied by flashes of lightning and constant booming.
