When Xu Zhizhi returned home that evening, she could faintly hear hushed noises coming from the master bedroom.
It seems to be working; a rift has definitely formed, so let’s add an even bigger one.
The next morning, before Liang Fenglan left, Xu Zhizhi deliberately got up, pretending to casually drink water, and asked,
“Aunt Liang, did Dad take action yesterday?”
Liang Fenglan tugged at her hair, lowered her head to cover the bruise at the corner of her eye, and replied irritably.
“What’s it to you?”
Xu Zhizhi clicked her tongue twice and looked at Liang Fenglan with sympathy. “Aunt Liang, I’m speaking up for you. My dad is such a scumbag. He hooked up with you and then accused my mom of stealing money and hitting people.”
“Now it’s like this again, I’m really afraid this family will fall apart again.”
Liang Fenglan asked suspiciously, “What do you mean?”
Xu Zhizhi took out the evidence she had prepared yesterday, along with Old Xu’s shirt.
“Look at this, a lipstick mark, a guesthouse card…”
Liang Fenglan took the clothes, smelled them, and found they smelled like cheap perfume, along with lipstick marks and a card on them!
Subconsciously, I felt that Lao Xu shouldn’t have time, but then I thought about how he had hit me last night…
How did you know?
Xu Zhizhi pouted, “Accountant Wu told me yesterday that he often saw my dad going in and out of the Lotus Lake Guesthouse at noon, in room 201.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Fenglan spat.
She grabbed her things and headed out. What a bastard! She dared to cheat on her.
…
Liang Fenglan left at four o’clock in the morning.
Xu Changgui got up at eight o’clock in the morning. For the first time ever, Xu Zhizhi called out “Dad!” before Xu Changgui left.
Xu Changgui turned around, “What’s wrong?”
Xu Zhizhi repeated what she had said that morning.
“Dad, I’ve thought it through. I will marry Accountant Wu, but I really can’t stand Aunt Liang having an affair with someone else when she has such a good man like you. Look at this card, I found it next to our coal stove this morning.”
Xu Changgui’s eyes deepened when he heard the sound of the coal stove.
Liang Fenglan is the one who cooks at home.
You shameless woman! Yesterday you said your love for him was as clear as day and you would never steal anything from him, and today you’re spending your money on other men.
Xu Changgui slammed the wooden door shut with a loud bang.
At this point, only Liang An, who was fast asleep, remained in the room; he had no recollection of anything.
Clutching her train ticket, Xu Zhizhi planned to stay at the guesthouse next to the train station that day, as she had already taken care of all the household chores.
Before leaving, Xu Zhizhi stuffed everything she could into her room. After joining the army, she would have to buy cotton quilts and other quilts, so she would take whatever she could get.
I strolled around the living room and added two more wooden stools. As for the table, it was too unsightly, so I gave up on it.
They looted almost everything that could be moved.
After finishing these tasks, Xu Zhizhi walked out of the family dormitory and encountered Yang Yufen, who was rushing over.
Before she could even speak, a thick kraft paper envelope was shoved into her hand without explanation.
“Zhizhi, you’ve finally caught up. Take these. I asked someone to get a year’s salary from Lao Xu in advance from the factory. It’s signed in Liang Fenglan’s name. Don’t let it slip later.”
She was good friends with Liang Fenglan and Xiong Guimei when they were young.
However, they later fell out because they were disgusted by Liang Fenglan’s actions.
Xu Zhizhi was moved to tears. “Aunt Yang, my train leaves tonight. I’ll write to you after I’ve settled in.”
“Let’s go, Auntie will always be your strong support.”
That evening,
Xu Zhizhi then boarded a train heading north.
Meanwhile, in a hospital in a remote border town thousands of miles away, the doctor finished explaining the precautions and issued discharge certificates to Li Wenzhu and Gu Xiangbei.
As Gu Xiangbei packed his belongings, he muttered to himself.
“Old Li, you’re really not going back?”
It’s not right for a wife to stay at her parents’ house all the time while she’s pregnant!
“I’m going back to camp.”
Pick up that wicked woman who remarried?
Li Wenzhu was unhappy. The words from the phone call two days ago were still ringing in her ears. After learning of her sacrifice, she indeed couldn’t wait to remarry.
If we go back now, won’t we be just in time for the banquet?
Let’s go back to camp and file for divorce first.
Li Wenzhu strode out of the ward, and behind her, Gu Xiangbei, who was so excited that his mouth was practically splitting into a wide grin, jogged to catch up.
“Hey, wait for me! Just because you have long legs doesn’t mean you can’t have them!”
The two were on a mission at the border, where there were no trains. They had to take a bus to Qiqihar, where the camp was located, and then transfer to a train.
Gu Xiangbei felt sorry for his wife taking the child on the train alone, so he asked her to wait for him at the transfer station, and then the two of them took the train back to the camp together.
Shortly after the two left, Zhou Tian, a young doctor interning at the hospital, woke up from her emergency room bed.
“Tian Tian, you’re finally awake…”
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before her, Zhou Tian was suddenly struck by a piercing pain in her head. Ignoring her injured head, she abruptly sat up in bed.
“Miss, what year is it now?”
The nurse looked puzzled. “Autumn of ’83, what happened? You didn’t really fall and lose your mind, did you?”
Zhou Tian looked at her clothes, then at everything in the ward, and listened to the conversations coming and going outside. She was certain that she had transmigrated into the male-oriented historical fiction she had written.
She even became the final female lead in this historical novel.
Why is it called the final female lead?
Because this is a male-oriented historical fiction novel, the male protagonist Li Wenzhu rises step by step from a lowly soldier to a high-ranking official in the military region.
And along the way, you’ll encounter quite a few vicious female supporting characters.
The first one is Li Wenzhu’s ex-wife, who died young after their divorce, and she is also the only white moonlight in Li Wenzhu’s heart.
After divorcing his first wife, Li Wenzhu gained many female fans with his image of being a devoted lover, but they all suffer from unrequited love and are in unbearable pain.
Only she could defeat her white moonlight and become the cinnabar mole in the male protagonist Li Wenzhu’s heart.
The thought of the second half of the story describing the two of them in a well-paced and engaging relationship made Zhou Tian feel incredibly aroused.
That’s quite a variety of ideas!
Now that she’s awake, she should have been transferred to the same military region as the male lead to work as a military doctor.
“Tian Tian, you fainted from working the night shift. Maybe you shouldn’t go to the military region for now; they’re probably short of medical staff there…”
Zhou Tian waved her hand weakly, “No, I’m like a brick, I’ll be moved wherever I’m needed.”
Male lead, here I come!
Xu Zhizhi boarded the train in the middle of the night, and after taking a nap, she found that it was already noon.
She ate a lot of food at the space before getting into the car.
I’m not hungry right now, so I’m lying on the lower bunk humming a song, treating it as early childhood education.
This baby is a treasure; he’s not making any noise in my belly at all. I estimate he’s been pregnant for about three and a half months.
She thought she should be a quiet and gentle girl.
Whether it’s a boy or a girl, she will love this child dearly.
Before boarding the train, she specially put on old-age makeup to make herself look less conspicuous. Yes, she even had makeup products in her room.
Moreover, all of them are pure natural products without any chemical additives, so Space Salt Selection is truly impressive.
To the other people in the same private room, her actions made her seem like an odd old lady.
The woman next door, who had a little girl with her, became increasingly anxious. Her husband had told her to be careful when traveling, especially around elderly women on trains.
Seeing the old woman give Daya a malicious look, Zhang Chun’e was so frightened that she hugged the child tightly.
Zhang Chun’e: She must be a human trafficker; she wanted to steal my daughter.
Xu Zhizhi’s eyes met Zhang Chun’e’s, and she thought to herself, “This young lady is really pretty. I’ll take a second look.”
My gaze shifted downwards, and wow, her daughter is beautiful too! I kept looking at her, really staring at her!
Having seen enough of today’s looks, Xu Zhizhi, to thank the mother and daughter for their kindness in looking at her face, took out an apple and a peach shortbread from her spatial storage while she went to the restroom.
Back in the private room, he handed over the things with a smile.
“Little sister, this is something Grandma gave you to eat…”
Daya blinked her innocent eyes and stretched out her delicate, white hand, “Thank you, Grandma!”
Zhang Chun’e, who had been tense all along, was startled when she saw the apple.
Oh my god, the apple is poisonous!
He grabbed Da Ya, tucked her under his arm, and ran out of the carriage.
“Police officer, there’s a human trafficker here, come and catch her!”
