Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child
Chapter 43 The Ex-Husband in the Historical Fiction 9
Inside the Shao family's old house.
After several disturbances during the day, the Shao family members lost their appetite for chatting after dinner and quietly returned to their rooms with droopy eyes.
He Xinlian suffered a double loss that day. Not only was her reputation ruined, but she also lost her job, and in the end, she didn't even get a good result.
She grew angrier the more she thought about it, and looking at the man sitting beside her, she wished she could kick him off the bed.
But she was still attached to the title of "wife of the richest man," so she clenched her fists and ultimately suppressed her temper.
With a slight raise of her eyebrows on her pretty face bearing a few scars, she lowered her waist, gently placing her slender fingers on the man's shoulder, and blowing air into his ear:
"Jianjun, please don't be angry with me..."
Unexpectedly, before she could finish speaking, the other person turned to the side, stood up with a straight face, walked to the cabinet, took out an old cotton quilt, wrapped it around their head, and lay straight on the bed to go to sleep.
"Shao Jianjun!"
"what do you mean?"
He Xinlian was so angry at the other party's actions that she felt like vomiting blood, and she stepped forward and started pulling and tugging at him.
She had a bad temper to begin with, and since everything had gone smoothly before, she could naturally put on a convincing act. But today, after being repeatedly humiliated, she couldn't suppress her temper anymore and immediately started arguing with the man.
As a result, the other person just closed his eyes as if he couldn't hear anything, and no matter how much He Xinlian pulled and dragged him, he could just lie on the bed and snore soundly.
"Get up and explain yourself, Shao Jianjun..."
Before He Xinlian could finish speaking, her mother-in-law Zhao Fang's cursing voice rang out from outside, forcing her to shut up.
"You little slut, what are you making such a racket in the middle of the night!"
"Who do you think is idle at home all day like you? If you keep spouting nonsense, believe me, I'll kick you out."
After he finished speaking, the courtyard fell silent.
Inside the room, He Xinlian's eyes were red with grievance, and her heart ached terribly.
She felt that this family was ungrateful and could never be properly tamed. All the good she had done for them before was for nothing. Today, they were already ostracizing her and threatening to kill her for making a small mistake.
'Thankfully, only I knew about the mustard seed space, otherwise I would have repeated the same mistake.'
'But my money and tickets were stored in my spatial storage, how could they disappear? Could there be something wrong with that thing?'
In the darkness, He Xinlian clutched her chest, pondering repeatedly. She was worried that if she continued to store things in her space, would they disappear again? Suddenly, she saw a flash of white light and her face was covered by a pile of fallen pieces of paper.
She was startled and hurriedly gathered the things into her palm. Before she could do anything else, she noticed that the kerosene lamp in the room had suddenly turned on, and her husband was standing by the bed with the lamp, looking at her expressionlessly as she held a large wad of banknotes in her hand.
He Xinlian trembled, not having time to think about where the money notes in her hand had come from, and quickly waved her hand to explain:
"Jianjun, it's not what you think. This money and tickets... I really didn't know where they went before. Just now... they... weren't..."
He Xinlian gestured with her hands, her tongue almost tied in knots, unable to explain what was going on.
But she didn't want to reveal the secret of the space, so in the end, she could only bite the bullet and make up a story:
"I'm sorry, Jianjun. Actually, I misremembered where I put the money. It only came to my attention when it fell down. I just remembered that I had put it on the roof beam."
Shao Jianjun didn't want to say another word to this woman who was full of lies. He silently gathered up the paper money scattered on the bed, hugged the quilt, and went out the door.
"Build an army!"
He Xinlian panicked completely and blocked the person's way barefoot. "Where are you going so late at night? I've already apologized to you, what more do you want?"
"Is it really such a small thing that you're going to make a fuss about sleeping in separate rooms?"
How will others perceive me?
He Xinlian was furious. She felt that she had been so accommodating to him, but this jerk was taking advantage of her and kept giving her attitude.
For a moment, he blurted out without thinking:
"Do you think you're something special just because you're going to become a worker? Don't forget, you haven't even got the job yet."
“If you don’t want to live like this anymore, then let’s get a divorce. I, He Xinlian, am not the kind of person who clings on desperately.”
He Xinlian regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.
She spoke her mind freely, but immediately realized she shouldn't have, and was about to make amends when she heard the man opposite her say with a slightly sarcastic expression:
"Finally, I can say what's on my mind."
His mother was right after all; this woman had ulterior motives and never intended to live a good life with him.
Shao Jianjun felt a tightness in his chest.
How could he possibly believe that this woman genuinely liked him and was so eager to marry him?
My cousin, though idle and lazy, is at least handsome and quick-witted. Compared to him, he also has a junior high school diploma.
How could he have believed this woman's nonsense and thought that she valued his reliability and hard work?
He wasn't the only strong young man like him in the village!
Shao Jianjun felt increasingly uneasy, realizing that the woman in front of him was terribly unfamiliar.
It seems I've never truly understood it.
"I think we should calm down. If you keep causing trouble, then we shouldn't continue this relationship."
As for the job, he couldn't bring himself to say no, so he just pulled away from the other person's hand, took the quilt, and went to his brother's room.
He Xinlian felt utterly dejected, unable to comprehend how things had turned out this way. She slumped onto the edge of the bed, wide awake.
The other end.
Inside a dilapidated house near the village entrance.
Shao Linshen had no idea that his brilliant move had caused another mess at the old house.
The moon was high in the sky, and the snoring of Shao's parents from the next room could be clearly heard by Shao Linshen through the earthen wall.
He opened his eyes, silently sat up from the haystack, put on his shoes, and tiptoed into the yard. Without even opening the gate, he stepped over the bamboo fence.
Before leaving, I also observed the height of the fence and planned to collect some stones and mud another day to raise the fence a bit.
'Luckily, there's nothing of value in the house, otherwise this fence would be practically useless; it could only keep out a few chickens and ducks at best.'
As Shao Linshen walked, he pondered and nimbly left the village, heading straight towards the county town.
He had insisted on choosing the more dilapidated thatched hut at the village entrance because of its advantageous location, which allowed him to leave the village at any time without attracting attention.
"Brother Shen, why are you going to the county so late at night instead of sleeping?" Pangu Banner asked curiously in his mind.
As Shao Linshen walked by in the moonlight, he said, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years'?"
"Yeah, I've heard of it. What's up?"
"I am not a gentleman, I cannot wait that long."
Recalling the plot, Shao Linshen knew that in the life before He Xinlian was reborn, the temporary job at the grain station was arranged for him by the original owner after he saved someone, out of gratitude for the original owner's kindness.
The original owner had his own ways of making money on the side, so he didn't care about the salary and gave it to his cousin Shao Jianjun. That's why Shao Jianjun had to give half of the money he earned to Shao Linshen every month.
After being reborn, He Xinlian, though unaware of the exact details of how Shao Linshen saved the person, used this incident to deliberately mislead the rescued individual into believing she was Shao Linshen's wife, thus easily securing the job.
The poor original owner had no idea of the inside story and actually thought that He Xinlian had bought the job with her own money. After all, in the eyes of the Shao family, this woman's parents loved their daughter very much, so it was reasonable for them to spend money to find her a job.
Shao Lin scoffed: "It's my business if I want to give my things to others."
If I'm unwilling to give it up, and someone else tries to take it, I'd rather throw it away than let anyone have even a tiny bit of it.
Shao Linshen was unaware of what had happened at the old house, and even if he did, he would only say, "It's just dogs fighting each other."
He simply doesn't like being taken advantage of; it makes it impossible for him to sleep well.
After listening to this guy's complaints for a while, Pangu Banner finally realized and said:
"Oh, I see, Brother Shen, so you were just saying that you're a petty person."
"After all, only a villain takes revenge from morning till night."
