Chapter 193: The Girl in the 8s Who Was Schemed by Her Stepmother and Stepdaughter (2)
But after getting married, she found that Liu Chengjie was always lukewarm towards her, neither close nor distant.
He always acted as if he had to marry the original owner out of gratitude.
This made the original owner very angry, and she asked for a divorce many times.
But Liu Chengjie was unwilling, and then he coaxed her with sweet words in a nervous manner.
A few years passed like this. During this period, the original owner repeatedly asked to go back to his hometown to visit his grandparents, but Liu Chengjie refused on the grounds that he had no time.
It was not until Qin Xiao'e graduated from university that Liu Chengjie used his connections to help her return to work at the local People's Hospital.
Once, the original owner accidentally discovered that the two of them were meeting secretly.
And what Liu Chengjie said, "I helped you tie her to me for so many years, and now you have graduated from college.
Even if she knew that the admission letter was hers, there was nothing she could do.
Isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise and marry me?"
The original owner then realized that letting her come to the military region was a conspiracy by Zhu Guifen and her daughter.
How can I not hate them for being so shameless and ruining my life for my own selfish interests?
The original owner had been an orphan since childhood and lived with an elderly grandparent.
Being able to grow up safely in the village and live a good life is not something that can be achieved solely by relying on the compassion and kindness of the villagers.
So she gritted her teeth and endured the two of them, and made a silent decision in her heart.
On the surface, I pretended to know nothing and continued to live my life as before.
However, during this Chinese New Year, the original owner acted more assertive than ever and went straight to Liu Chengjie.
Ask him to buy a ticket for me, I must go back this year!
Otherwise, she would go to the military region to ask the leaders whether it was because her father-in-law was the regiment commander that the daughter-in-law was not allowed to return to her parents' home.
Seeing that the original owner was so strong, Liu Chengjie had no choice but to buy her a ticket and even attentively accompany her back in person.
The original owner knew what he meant and did not stop him.
As a result, on the first night after returning to his hometown, Liu Chengjie was drunk by some young men in the village on the pretext of welcoming the new son-in-law.
Shuangshuang then went to the branch secretary's house, and the branch secretary sighed when he saw her.
“You are also confused, although your father did find you a good job.
But it would be a shame if you didn’t go to such a good university after getting into it.”
The original owner didn't say anything. She also asked the branch secretary to keep her mouth shut and never tell anyone about this. Then she went back as if nothing had happened.
The next day, he took the sober Liu Chengjie to stroll in the mountains.
From time to time, you can pick a few mushrooms to take home as a snack.
Children who grew up in the countryside know all the animals and plants in the mountains.
When they returned home after the Chinese New Year, Shuangshuang didn't ask for anything, but only took away a big bag of local specialties.
Inside were some mushrooms and other mountain products that her grandparents usually picked up in the mountains.
With the local specialties from her hometown, the original owner, as a filial daughter, naturally wanted to send some back for her good stepmother to try.
Taking advantage of the fact that the whole family was together during the Lantern Festival, the original owner, as she did before, took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help Zhu Guifen cut and wash vegetables, and was very busy.
He also specially showed everyone his specialty dish, "Mushroom Stewed Old Hen".
The original owner was busy in and out, deliberately ignoring the disdain and complacency in Qin Xiaoe's eyes.
From time to time, he would act as if he envied her for being a college student, which made Qin Xiao'e even more proud.
Until the food was served, everyone sat around.
Then, after everyone in the house had drunk the mushroom and chicken soup she had added ingredients to, the original owner burst into laughter.
Only then did he speak out about the grievances he had suffered over the years amidst everyone's surprised and puzzled eyes.
The original owner's father looked incredulous and questioned Zhu Guifen whether the story was true or not.
Zhu Guifen naturally denied it, but Shuangshuang was not a law enforcement agency, so there was no need for her confession.
As for the original owner's father, the original owner didn't believe him at all.
What she actually hates the most is her father's inaction!
Otherwise, how could Zhu Guifen, a stepmother, dare to treat her like this?
Therefore, she simply refused to listen to her father's explanation, which claimed that he didn't know the inside story, and just kept complaining about her grievances.
"You were able to raise someone else's bastard as your own child, but you abandoned my own daughter back home. You are not a good person!
So today you don’t have to pretend you don’t know!
She has been sleeping in the same bed with you for so many years, how could you not know what kind of person she is?"
The ingredients added by the original owner were poisonous mushrooms that she and Liu Chengjie picked up in the mountains during the Chinese New Year.
That mushroom is very similar to an edible mushroom, and sometimes even locals may not be able to tell the difference.
Not to mention Liu Chengjie, a foreigner who had never been to the mountains.
The poisonous mushrooms took effect very quickly. By the time everyone heard what the original owner said and realized they wanted to run away, their legs were already shaking as they walked.
Only the original owner held on with his last breath and blocked the door with a thick wooden stick.
"Don't even think about escaping! There's no one in this world who can take advantage of me, Qin Yushuang, and still live in peace!"
Only then did Liu Chengjie realize what kind of madman he had offended.
After all, the original owner drank the bowl of chicken soup first. Who would have thought that she would be so cruel to herself?
He could only beg bitterly, "Wife, I am willing to give everything I have in exchange for your forgiveness, and I will live a good life with you in the future!"
The original owner was dismissive, "Bah! If it weren't for you shameless guys, you would have such dirty thoughts and plotted against me.
I am a college student now, how can you be worthy of me!
You have been acting like I am repaying you for your kindness and forcing you to marry me all these years.
But I want to divorce you, why don’t you just do it honestly?
If I had gone back to my hometown, repeated my senior year and taken the college entrance exam, maybe there wouldn’t have been this disaster today!
Besides, it’s useless even if you escape!
Let me tell you, there's no cure for this medicine in the hospital! Didn't you see Qin Mingze couldn't even get up?
So all of you stay here and confess your sins to me!"
Finally, the original owner appeared and bowed to both of them before speaking.
"Immortal, please don't let them succeed this time. I must go to college!
I want to prove to everyone that even if you come from the countryside, you can still make a name for yourself without relying on anyone!
It would be better to tie Qin Xiao'e and Liu Chengjie together to prevent them from disgusting others!
And my father, I used to really think he was in trouble, so he had to leave me back home.
But since I went to the family compound, I realized that there might be difficulties, but it is also certain that I am not in his heart.
Otherwise, he himself came from the countryside, how could he not know the hardships of rural people?
Could you leave me in my hometown and ignore me for 18 years?
I don't want this kind of family relationship anymore. I'll stay away from you and try not to bother each other in the future."
They were silent for a while, and when they saw that the original owner had no other requests, they nodded.
"alright."
