Chapter 180: Chapter 177: Negotiating with a Tiger for Its Hide

When Hehua, who was sent to the commune clinic, woke up, the room was empty. It was as if without her child, she had lost all value. This time, her last bit of affection for Jiang Beihua vanished.

She thought she’d never forget the kick Jiang Beihua gave her from behind, as if wanting her dead, even though the child was truly his. Yet, he believed those rumors.

Liu Yinghe probably doesn’t understand how actions define a person. In other people’s eyes, you’ve already lost credibility, so naturally, everything you say or do will be doubted by others.

It’s simply that these two are of the same kind, the only difference is who’s more sinister.

"Oh! Isn’t this our famous beauty Hehua from ten miles and eight villages? Tsk tsk tsk, seeing you like this, it really makes one’s heart ache!"

The sudden voice pulled back Hehua’s wandering thoughts. When she met the person’s gaze, an idea formed in her mind.

The visitor was Liu Siyuan, from Liu Village, a middle school classmate and good friend of Jiang Beihua until they turned against each other because of that incident.

However, before Hehua could propose anything, Liu Siyuan spoke first.

"Alright, I won’t laugh at you. I have a proposal: get a divorce. After the divorce, let’s work together to get revenge. What he owed me back then, what he owes you and your child now, let’s settle all the scores. How about it?"

This didn’t need much thought, but Hehua still pretended to consider it.

Liu Siyuan’s offer of collaboration was advantageous to her. He knew many people in the neighboring villages, had an extensive network, and borrowing his hand could definitely work. She had been worried about how to make Jiang Beihua pay on her own.

Indeed, she was conscious when she was pushed out of the operating room, fully aware that her child was gone, kicked to death by his own father. From that moment, she thought about how to make that person suffer and also that bitch Zheng Honglian. She wanted all these people to pay.

But she also knew that the second branch of the Jiang family was full of villains. It wouldn’t be easy to get revenge, but now she had a partner with shared goals.

"Alright, I agree! Are there any conditions? What should I do?"

"There are, and you’ll naturally know after I help you get your revenge."

Hehua didn’t hear the trap in this, and she probably couldn’t remember what she had done to Liu Siyuan’s sister, Liu Sixia. However, she could forget, but her brother remembered, waiting for the chance to take revenge. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

One could only say, "The heavens have their cycles, no one is spared."

So, the woman who once refused to divorce at all costs decided to get a divorce at this moment and eagerly anticipated how to ruin her ex-husband.

Meanwhile, Jiang Mingyue, sent home by Shu Wenquan, was surrounded by her family, as if she had survived a wolf’s den.

"Mom, I’m fine. I really just went to see my teacher."

Mrs. Jiang sneered: "We can’t be blamed for worrying. It was all because of Wang Guihua, who said she saw you running off with a man."

Jiang Mingyue: "... But you all saw, it was Wenquan who went with me." Also, why would running off with a man require checking where she got hurt?

"I guessed as much. Wasn’t it Wenquan who took leave with your big brother? I tore Wang Guihua a new one when she dared to spread rumors about my daughter. She even had the nerve to say she wanted to marry her daughter off to your second brother. I always said, even if your second brother never marries, he shouldn’t take Wang Yazi, the crooked melon."

Jiang Mingyue: "..."

The affected Jiang Jianjun: "..." He was just a tool man.

Jiang Mingyue looked around, not seeing Yan Jinzhi. But the atmosphere was quite lively, rather inappropriate, as she didn’t think it was because of her return. Upon asking, she learned that Yan Jinzhi had done something big again.

She had only woken up this afternoon, but Yan Jinzhi had gone out early in the morning and installed a solar street lamp in the center of the drying field. That night, all the villagers went to the drying field to see the light.

Jiang Mingyue: "..." Of course it was him. In the modern world, he’d be a trending topic daily.

"The equipment was ready before, and it didn’t take long to install. Where is he?"

Mrs. Jiang almost wanted to laugh: Her daughter finally couldn’t resist asking about Jin Zhi’s whereabouts—this was a good sign.

"We used to fetch water from the old ghost cave, right? Jin Zhi said it’s too far and laborious, and wanted to dig a well outside our home. Jin Zhi said he could make a pump himself. I thought we should dig in our yard for personal use, but Jin Zhi wanted it outside so everyone could fetch water, building goodwill for your brothers. He’s thoughtful; I was narrow-minded. After all, our family isn’t like it used to be."

Jiang Mingyue: "..." Where did that person go?

Jiang Mingyue believed her mother was still immersed in happiness, losing the focus in her words.

With her singular focus, Jiang Mingyue claimed tiredness and went back to her room, immediately entering a space to find someone.

"Yan Jinzhi..."

No response.

Jiang Mingyue felt a bit irritated, recalling how just yesterday they held each other, yet his temper changed like flipping a page.

Luckily, she had things to do, quickly distracting her.

Soaking in the hot spring, harvesting sweet potatoes, planting corn.

Afterwards, she called out again.

"Yan Jinzhi, are you busy?"

This time before she finished speaking, she fell into an embrace. With her back against someone, she didn’t need to look back to know who it was. It could only be him.

"Where did you go this afternoon?"

"Oh! Went to Liu Village to see Mr. Yang." As this came up, Jiang Mingyue recalled something important.

"Yan Jinzhi, I met someone at the cattle pen..."

After listening, Yan Jinzhi got interested, "Hmm, I’ll have someone look into it later. If it is him, I’ll negotiate with him."

The matter with Shen Bo was basically temporarily resolved.

"Yan Jinzhi, don’t hold me like this."

Yan Jinzhi turned her around, kissed her hair: "What about this?" But this kiss stirred desires, making the bamboos behind rustle constantly, and a new layer of withered yellow bamboo leaves spread on the ground.

"You, you..." Too addictive, this person seemed gentle and refined, but kissed with tenderness. But the duration was quite overwhelming.
