Originally, he had planned to get some medicine to force Xiao Xie to abort the child, but unexpectedly, Xiao Xie threw herself into the river that very night.
Thinking of Xiao Xie, Wang Jianjun thought of Wang Lihua.
Both were widows who had lost their husbands. Although Wang Lihua was older, she carried a unique charm belonging to her age, and she was good-looking. More importantly, Wang Lihua had cut ties with the Su family and brought her two daughters with her, meaning there was no wicked mother-in-law to oppress her, and they wouldn’t have to meet in secret.
If he could get Wang Lihua into his hands… In a few years, Su Dabao would be grown up, so maybe he could…
“Brother Jianjun? What are you spacing out for?” Seeing him staring at the dilapidated courtyard for a long time without responding, Liu Jinbao couldn’t help but wave a hand in front of his eyes.
Wang Jianjun snapped out of his thoughts and cleared his throat. “Nothing, just thinking about some things.”
He glanced at the sky. “Why worry about all that? Let’s hurry to the supply and marketing cooperative, or we won’t make it back before dark.”
Mentioning the supply and marketing cooperative, which they were most eager to visit, Liu Jinbao and Liu Yinbao quickly nodded in agreement. “Alright, let’s walk faster.”
Su Erbao watched as Wang Jianjun left the village with two half-grown boys along the main road, her eyes darkening slightly.
In her previous life, this Wang Jianjun had often harassed her and her sister late at night. During that time, her sister even slept with a kitchen knife in her arms.
It wasn’t until shortly after Old Lady Wang died that he was found drowned in the water, finally freeing the two sisters.
Back then, everyone said that even after Old Lady Wang passed away, she couldn’t let go of her grandson and simply took him along.
Just now, he had been standing outside for so long, probably plotting something bad.
Watching the three figures grow farther away, Su Erbao opened the Pin-Xi-Xi System Mall.
She bought three 90-centimeter-long pig-driving sticks but still felt uneasy. After browsing the mall further, she also bought three 50,000w anti-wolf devices.
Her sister always liked chasing people with a knife, which was far too dangerous. What if she slipped and cut herself? These anti-wolf devices were much better—they could instantly incapacitate someone.
When making the purchase, she specifically left a note asking the seller to fully charge the devices. That way, even if they couldn’t recharge at home now, the devices would still be usable, with a standby time of a full month!
If they hadn’t left the village within a month, they could always buy a power bank to recharge them.
Su Dabao had been reading for quite a while when she noticed Su Erbao standing outside in the cold wind. She quickly put down her book and went out.
As she walked, she scolded herself inwardly for being too absorbed in her book and failing to notice her younger sister standing outside in the cold—it was truly irresponsible.
“Little sister, what are you doing? Come inside quickly, it’s cold out here with the wind blowing.”
Su Erbao let herself be pulled inside obediently and placed the newly purchased pig-driving sticks and anti-wolf devices on the bed.
“What are these things?” Su Dabao curiously picked up the long pig-driving stick and swung it, finding it surprisingly handy.
Su Erbao showed her how to turn it on and had her gently tap it against the compacted ground. With a crisp “snap,” two small pits appeared on the ground.
“Little sister! What is this? It looks so powerful!”
As she said this, she was about to tap it against herself, nearly giving Su Erbao a heart attack.
“Sister, you can’t poke this at yourself! If it touches your body, half of it could go numb from the shock!”
The commotion between the two sisters caught the attention of Wang Lihua, who was sewing clothes. She turned her head and asked with a smile, “What are you two sisters playing with now?”
Su Dabao excitedly raised the pig-driving stick in her hand. “Mom! Little sister gave me this! It’s so powerful! It’s electric!”
Seeing Wang Lihua’s puzzled look, Su Erbao quickly flashed a grin, revealing her small white teeth, and also raised a pig-driving stick. “Mom, let me show you how to use this.”
Wang Jianjun returned from town with Liu Jinbao and Liu Yinbao. As they passed the village entrance, they happened to see Wang Lihua standing in the main room, taking a breath of fresh air.
Wang Lihua had been sitting at the sewing machine all day and needed to stretch her limbs.
“Aunt Lihua, if you ever need help with anything, just let me know.”
Hearing this sleazy voice, Wang Lihua looked up expressionlessly.
Earlier, when she asked Su Erbao why she had suddenly bought pig-driving sticks and electric batons, she learned about what Wang Jianjun had done to the sisters in their previous lives.
If she hadn’t known about their past lives, she wouldn’t have thought much of it. But now she knew.
As a mother, facing such a scoundrel who had harassed her daughters, the only reason she didn’t immediately rush over and give him an electric shock was that the situation didn’t allow it.
Seeing that Wang Lihua ignored him, Wang Jianjun shrugged and led the two clueless boys into the village.
Su Dabao walked out of the adjacent room, fiddling with the anti-wolf device in her hand. She met Wang Lihua’s gaze, and both mother and daughter curled their lips into a faint smile.
They understood each other perfectly—if that scoundrel dared to come, they would make sure he regretted it!
When Liu Juanzi returned home, the flush on her face hadn’t faded. In her pocket, she carried the two yuan Su Wen had given her, telling her to take good care of herself.
Su Wen escorted the three siblings home. As they passed the village entrance, Su Erbao watched Liu Juanzi, her nails nearly digging into her palms.
This sister-in-law was ten thousand times more disgusting than Su Wen!
It was she who had suggested selling Su Erbao to the old widower in her previous life!
Back then, Liu Jinbao and Liu Yinbao were idle and couldn’t find wives. Liu Jinbao finally found a match, but the woman demanded a bride price of three thousand yuan.
The Su family refused to pay, so she set her sights on Su Erbao.
Su Erbao hadn’t known any of this originally. It was only before her death, after seeing those scenes, that she understood. Moreover, it was Liu Juanzi who stole Su Dabao’s admission letter and gave it to Su Xiuxiu.
Su Erbao watched the four figures walking farther away, her gaze growing colder and colder.
In this life, the pension money had fallen into Old Mrs. Su’s hands. Given that old woman’s nature, she would never give the money to Su Wen for a bride price.
So, what means would the Su family use to marry Liu Juanzi into their household?
How intriguing to guess.
A week later, in Wutongshi.
Early in the morning, several police officers went to the residential area of the steel factory.
The door was knocked. Deng Xinru, still half-asleep, nudged Su Dagui beside her. “Go answer the door.”
Su Dagui climbed out of bed, rubbed his arms, grabbed a black woolen overcoat from nearby, draped it over himself, and grumbled as he walked out of the room.
On the first day he followed Deng Xinru to Wutongshi, she took him to a shopping mall and bought him the woolen overcoat he had been longing for. The next day, he wore it to take photos and register their marriage.
“Who is it? Knocking so early in the morning.”
He had just pulled open the door when he saw several men in police uniforms. Instinctively, he tried to slam it shut, but his speed was no match for that of the well-trained people’s police. The middle-aged officer leading the group immediately raised his foot and blocked the door.
“Su Dagui, is it?”
