Huh?
So that’s how it is?
With that hint, Miao Miaomiao understood instantly.
Miao Qingqing was actually a reborn person!
She thought such baseless words wouldn’t be believed even if she told others — but Miao Miaomiao wasn’t an ordinary person. If she herself could transmigrate here, what was strange about Miao Qingqing being reborn?
Miao Miaomiao bit her lip and stayed silent for a long time.
So long that Miao Qingqing lost patience and shoved her hard. “Hey, why are you playing dead?”
“Oh, I get it.”
Miao Miaomiao suddenly raised her head and stared straight at her.
Miao Qingqing was momentarily intimidated by her deep gaze.
She snapped out of it and quickly asked, “What do you understand?”
Miao Miaomiao curled her lips slightly and said slowly, “I understand. The reason you hate me so much must be because you know Li Sanchuan actually liked me first, right? The reason you viciously plotted against me and wanted Huang Ergou to violate me was because you were afraid that after I returned, I’d steal him away again, right? As long as I lost my innocence and married Huang Ergou, you wouldn’t have to worry about Li Sanchuan thinking about me anymore, and your marriage would be secured. Am I right?”
“Hehehe…”
Miao Qingqing burst into laughter.
Miao Miaomiao, you idiot — so you still know nothing.
Your self-righteous cleverness is hilarious.
Idiot, you’ll never guess the real reason in your life.
Take your doubts to the grave!
After laughing for a long time, she nodded. “That’s right. You’re really smart.”
Miao Miaomiao narrowed her eyes and smiled.
“Maybe you didn’t expect that I’m even smarter than you imagined.”
“Look…”
She pointed lightly behind her with a smile. “See who’s here?”
Miao Qingqing quickly turned around, only to see Li Sanchuan standing quietly outside the fence, who knew how long he had been there.
“S-Sanchuan… brother, why are you here?”
Her expression trembled, and even her voice became unsteady.
Li Sanchuan stared at her silently, his cold face showing he had heard everything.
At first he half-believed the hooligan’s words.
Until later Miao Miaomiao told him — if he still didn’t believe it, he could follow her home and wait outside; she would definitely give him the complete truth.
That was why Li Sanchuan appeared here.
The result left him utterly disappointed.
The girl he had always liked was actually so vicious. If today she dared harm her own sister, who knew whether tomorrow she might harm his family?
For a moment, Li Sanchuan felt chills down his spine.
“Miao Qingqing, let’s break off the engagement.”
After speaking, he turned and left.
“How… how can this be?…”
Miao Qingqing’s pupils shook violently. She couldn’t process it at all.
No — impossible!
Li Sanchuan was her only stepping stone into the city, the source and guarantee of all her happiness.
Everything her second sister once had — she got it because she married him!
No!
She couldn’t lose him!
“Sanchuan… don’t go… it’s not like that…”
Gone was her earlier arrogance; now she was humble like a pitiful puppy, hurriedly chasing after him.
Soon both figures disappeared.
Only Miao Miaomiao remained, a smile slowly forming at the corner of her lips.
At this moment, Liang Junjie, who had been hiding behind the haystack watching the show, finally came out.
Arms folded, he walked beside her and sighed. “Ah… never thought love could change a person so completely…”
Miao Miaomiao looked into the distance, her long lashes fluttering.
Was it because of love?
No — it was dogs fighting over a bone in their past life.
“By the way…” Liang Junjie turned to comfort her. “Don’t be too sad. Things are never perfectly complete.”
“Mm, I know.”
She replied calmly.
She wasn’t sad. She never let her revenge wait overnight.
Making Miao Qingqing lose this marriage would hurt her more than losing her life.
This would count as her temporary punishment.
…
After Huang Ergou was jailed, the police later summoned Miao Qingqing once, but she cried pitifully and lied her way through it.
She said Huang Ergou was slandering her — he had previously tried to grope her and was severely beaten by her, so he held a grudge and, after being arrested, deliberately dragged her into it.
Moreover, Zhang Cuiying and Miao Tianli also strongly testified for her.
Seeing that Huang Ergou already had a notorious record and such behavior wasn’t surprising, the police questioned them and then left.
The whole matter temporarily came to an end…
At least the villain being arrested was good — the village no longer lived in fear.
…
That day, Miao Miaomiao finally boarded the bus. She could finally leave the town.
Buses in this era were small vehicles — not many seats and many people had to stand squeezed together. Fortunately, she grabbed a seat beside a girl with a neat short haircut.
“Oh? Sister Daniu, what a coincidence!”
The short-haired girl smiled the moment she saw her.
“Mm, yes. You are?…”
Miao Miaomiao felt her face looked unfamiliar. She only knew she boarded at the same stop, probably from the same village.
“I’m Song Aidi. My dad is the brigade leader.”
When Song Aidi smiled, two small dimples appeared — very cute.
“Ah? So you’re Captain Song Weibing’s daughter. Nice to meet you.” Miao Miaomiao vaguely remembered seeing her a few times but had little interaction.
“Not at all. Sister Daniu, your sharp tongue is famous in our village. My dad says you’re the best arguer in the whole village.”
Song Aidi praised her with a smile.
“Uh… haha…”
Miao Miaomiao laughed awkwardly.
She could do without that title.
“By the way, what are you going to the provincial city for?” she changed the topic and asked.
“Me? I’m going to play… My mom said the fabrics there are pretty and told me to use cloth coupons to buy some. You know, the supply cooperative in the village only has dull cloth — either black or blue, no vitality at all.”
“Oh, I see.”
Hearing that, Miao Miaomiao felt extremely envious.
She herself was still struggling to survive, while other people’s children could freely go to the city for fun.
Life really is unfair.
Why didn’t Miao Qingqing envy someone like her instead of envying a penniless rural widow like her? What terrible taste.
“By the way, Daniu, what are you going out of town for?” Song Aidi blinked her innocent eyes. “Are you going to play too?”
“Uh… haha…”
She wished.
“I’m going to the city… to see if I can find a job…” her voice grew softer toward the end.
“Ah?”
Unexpectedly, Song Aidi exclaimed loudly, “Wow, Sister Daniu, you’re so motivated!”
“Are you serious?”
Miao Miaomiao looked at her in disbelief.
Was she praising her?
In the village, whenever people heard she wanted to find work, they either mocked her, ridiculed her for overestimating herself, or told her to stop being foolish and hurry to marry a man.
Rarely did anyone praise her.
At that moment, Miao Miaomiao sincerely felt Song Aidi was someone worth befriending.
