Bao Shan Yan furrowed her brows, seemingly pondering the truthfulness of Gu Jia Ning's words.
Actually, Gu Jia Ning also knew that her words weren't entirely reliable, but she was certain Bao Shan Yan would be moved.
Sure enough, the next second, she heard Bao Shan Yan ask, "How will you help me?"
A cunning glint flashed in Gu Jia Ning's eyes. She moved closer, leaned in, and whispered her plan.
Seeing Bao Shan Yan's grim expression and apparent disapproval, Gu Jia Ning said, "If you want to follow the normal marriage process, you should know that Wen Zhuqing is impossible to marry you."
"Therefore, extraordinary measures are necessary."
"However, I think the process is unimportant; the result is what matters most."
"As long as you're married, and he's in your house, won't everything be under your control?"
Seeing Bao Shan Yan's furrowed brows relax, Gu Jia Ning knew she had hit the right spot.
However, Bao Shan Yan didn't immediately agree.
"Okay, I'll give you a day to consider. Give me your answer before this time tomorrow."
Gu Jia Ning wasn't in a hurry for Bao Shan Yan's immediate reply, but she added a sense of urgency, "Of course, if you refuse, I'll cooperate with someone else."
After speaking, Gu Jia Ning turned and left.
She didn't look back as she walked forward, but she could feel Bao Shan Yan's gaze fixed on her.
Only after she turned the corner did that intense gaze disappear.
Gu Jia Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought Bao Shan Yan would most likely agree.
Because, she, reborn, knew that Bao Shan Yan's liking for Wen Zhuqing was a kind of fervent, almost abnormal obsession with Wen Zhuqing's type.
However, in her previous life, Bao Shan Yan, constrained by the Gu family's roots in Huaihua Village, didn't make a move on Wen Zhuqing, whom she liked.
Afterward, her marriage with Wen Zhuqing became even more impossible.
But…
Bao Shan Yan settled for second best and made a move on someone else.
In other words, that person was a substitute for Wen Zhuqing in Bao Shan Yan's eyes.
Gu Jia Ning passed the Intellectual Youth Point and happened to see a slender, fair-faced young male intellectual youth carrying a bundle of firewood walking inside.
Upon seeing Gu Jia Ning, he nodded and offered a shy, polite smile.
Gu Jia Ning also nodded, gazing at his back.
This young intellectual youth was seventeen years old and named Lu Weixian.
In her previous life, not long after she and Wen Zhuqing got married, Lu Weixian somehow married Bao Shan Yan, and he even became a son-in-law in the Bao family.
Lu Weixian went to Huaihua Village at the age of 15, and now two years had passed.
It is said that after he went to the countryside, he had been reading constantly, always believing that the College Entrance Examination would be reinstated, and he wanted to strive to get into university and return to the city.
Therefore, no one expected him to marry Bao Shan Yan, much less as a son-in-law.
What was Lu Weixian's ending in the previous life?
He died…
He died shortly after the College Entrance Examination was reinstated. He was found dead on the mountain, an accidental death.
Only much later did people learn that Lu Weixian had actually been beaten to death by Bao Shan Yan.
The Bao family had a history of manic-depressive illness, prone to uncontrolled tempers, and once they had an episode, they liked to beat people.
During their years of marriage, Lu Weixian had been subjected to domestic violence by Bao Shan Yan and her mother, Bao Yingzi.
Lu Weixian tried to fight back, but he couldn't withstand the fists of the Bao mother and daughter.
He couldn't even find anyone to stand up for him.
The last time, because Lu Weixian expressed his desire to take the College Entrance Examination—fearing Lu Weixian's escape from her control upon gaining admission to university—an enraged Bao Shan Yan lost control and directly beat Lu Weixian to death.
Afraid of being discovered, she carried Lu Weixian's body to the mountains and disguised it as an accident.
As for Lu Weixian, his initial assignment to the countryside was because he was an unfavored child, having replaced his older brother.
No one cared whether he returned to the city or how he was doing.
Even when Lu Weixian died in the countryside, not a single member of the Lu family came.
Thus, Lu Weixian's death was initially ruled an accident, until years later, when Bao Shan Yan committed another crime and was arrested, and the truth was revealed.
And Lu Weixian's decision to become Bao Shan Yan's son-in-law was also the latter's design.
Gu Jia Ning thought, Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shan Yan, two scumbags.
If these two scumbags could be together, it would be a case of internal consumption, preventing them from harming others.
She really wanted to see whether Wen Zhuqing would be beaten up by Bao Shan Yan, or whether Bao Shan Yan would be deceived by the cunning and hypocritical Wen Zhuqing.
Actually, before approaching Bao Shan Yan today, Gu Jia Ning had some conflict.
Although Wen Zhuqing's actions toward her and her family in her previous life made him a complete scumbag, this life hadn't happened yet.
Should she strike first against Wen Zhuqing for something that hadn't happened yet?
What if this life's Wen Zhuqing was different from the last?
Gu Jia Ning wasn't soft-hearted toward Wen Zhuqing, but she still had reservations.
But soon, something happened that removed Gu Jia Ning's reservations.
On the very afternoon she visited Bao Shan Yan, her mother, Yao Chunhua, suddenly rushed home from outside.
At that time, Gu Jia Ning had just finished giving her sister-in-law, Yang Manman, acupuncture and was coming out of her sister-in-law's house when her mother grabbed her hand.
Yao Chunhua's expression was panicked and anxious, her brows filled with worry, and even her hands were trembling slightly. "Daughter, what do we do? Something's happened. My pigs… something happened to my pigs."
Gu Jia Ning quickly went to her mother's side, patting her back. "Mother, don't worry. Take a deep breath. Tell me slowly, what happened to the pigs?"
Yao Chunhua took a deep breath and then, grabbing her daughter's hand, told her what had happened.
Huaihua Village had a small pig farm. Every year, about ten pigs were raised. Of course, in recent years, they weren't privately owned but belonged to the Huaihua Village collective. At the end of each year, half of them were handed over to the commune, and the remaining half would be slaughtered or sold, with the money given to the villagers.
Raising pigs in the pig farm wasn't considered heavy work; there were ten work points daily, and at the end of the year, you could get a few extra pounds of pork.
It was because Father Gu was the village chief that his wife, Yao Chunhua, could get this job.
Yao Chunhua's job was to feed the pigs pigweed and clean the pigpen every day. The work wasn't tiring, and she had free time to cook or rest at home.
Many people had envied Yao Chunhua for this pig-raising job.
Yao Chunhua had worked at the pig farm for three years. Initially, the villagers had some objections to her getting the job, but as the pigs became fat and strong at the end of the year, they couldn't find any reason to complain.
For three years, Yao Chunhua had raised the pigs very well; nothing had gone wrong.
But today…
As soon as Yao Chunhua arrived at the pigpen, she noticed that nine of the pigs were acting strangely.
They seemed listless and not very lively. Yao Chunhua initially thought they were hungry, so she quickly gathered pigweed for them to eat.
As a result, the pigs, who usually scrambled to eat pigweed, didn't eat it!
Some ate a few mouthfuls reluctantly, then vomited.
If that were all, Yao Chunhua wouldn't have panicked.
