Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

Liu Minhua was a little dazed; she couldn't understand how things had developed to this point.

She hurriedly followed him outside, where Cai Xin stood, his face extremely grim.

Just as Liu Minhua was about to speak, Cai Xin gave her a cold look: "We're not a good match. I'll make things clear to the matchmaker."

He's a man who cares a lot about his reputation, and today he was being threatened by a village girl to apologize. Liu Minhua saw him in this pathetic state.

Regardless of whether he was satisfied with Liu Minhua or not, Cai Xin could not be with her after she saw such a shameful side of him.

Cai Xin didn't care how late it was, how far it was from Liu Minhua's aunt's house, or what Liu Minhua might think. He turned away with a cold expression.

Liu Minhua stared blankly as Cai Xin left, leaving her all alone.

Her eyes reddened with anger, and she felt a pang of regret, wishing she hadn't provoked Xu Manman.

But how could she be content if she didn't do it?

After she learned about her childhood betrothal to Fei Huainan, she would write him two letters every month, expressing her thoughts, her joy, her happiness, and her love.

For five whole years, he sent two letters a month, rain or shine.

Over five years, these letters must have totaled more than a hundred.

Ke Fei Huainan didn't reply to a single letter.

At that time, Fei Huainan was a high-ranking military officer, and she eagerly flattered him, which she did willingly.

But now, Fei Huainan is just a useless piece of trash, his future ruined.

Liu Minhua felt an overwhelming sense of resentment when she thought about how she had fawned over a good-for-nothing for five years.

In particular, the good-for-nothing she already looked down on still looked down on her, which filled Liu Minhua with anger and resentment, with nowhere to vent it.

She just wanted Fei Huainan to regret his poor judgment in not replying to her letter, to hate his ignorance, and even to discover her good qualities and fall in love with her.

She had also gone through the same kind of torment that she had gone through, and only in this way could she feel at ease.

She knew that Cai Xin was well-off, had a bright future, healthy parents, and was capable himself.

Although he may not be as handsome as Fei Huainan, men value ability, not appearance.

She deliberately used Cai Xin to provoke Fei Huainan, hoping he would regret it. However, Fei Huainan didn't regret it; instead, she lost her blind date.

Liu Minhua walked towards her aunt's house in a daze, wondering how she would explain things to her mother when she returned tomorrow.

Xu Manman was unaware that Cai Xin had abandoned Liu Minhua and left.

She is still somewhat angry.

Who are these people? Are they crazy?!

And then there's Liu Minhua. It's really strange. When she spends money, Liu Minhua complains that she's being too extravagant and doesn't give any money to Fei Huainan, acting as if she's thinking of Fei Huainan's best interests.

But when she was looking for a man, she would go to Fei Huainan and tell him every little detail.

In other words, Fei Huainan has no feelings for Liu Minhua, otherwise, wouldn't this drive him crazy?

Xu Manman pondered for a while before she figured it out.

Liu Minhua and Fei Huainan were betrothed as children, but after Fei Huainan became disabled, Liu Minhua decisively abandoned him.

Subconsciously, she believed that Fei Huainan was a failure, and marrying him would only lead to a miserable life.

So, when Liu Minhua saw her spending money to buy a lot of things and being able to go to the county town every day, living a more carefree life than others, she was very excited.

Liu Minhua broke down.

Xu Manman understood Liu Minhua's thoughts and felt that this person's mind was truly twisted beyond belief.

In the dream, the Liu family's presence wasn't very strong; compared to others, the Liu family's affairs were insignificant.

But when you actually face the Liu family, you realize that small things are more annoying, torturous, and disgusting.

Fei Huainan's leg is healed; if it were crippled, he would suffer both psychological and physical torment.

Liu Minhua repeatedly told Fei Huainan about her potential partners, praising how wonderful, promising, and healthy they were. Whether Fei Huainan was being cunning or not is unknown, but Xu Manman would definitely turn to the dark side just thinking about it.

She must have wanted to drag the other person down with her to hell.

When Xu Manman had this thought, she was jolted awake. No, she wanted to stop Fei Huainan from turning evil, not turn evil herself.

Xu Manman banished the terrible thoughts from her mind; she absolutely could not turn evil.

She turned around, picked up the cloth bag that was placed to the side, which contained her newly written script.

Originally, I was thinking that if I could meet Lin Miaomiao or Commander Gao, I would sell the script to them.

It's a good opportunity to exchange some cloth coupons or something.

She doesn't even have a winter coat yet!

She was tricked by her stepmother into marrying Fei Huainan. When she arrived, she had nothing but the patched clothes she was wearing.

Two of the clothes she's wearing now are altered versions of Fei Huainan's old clothes.

The military green shirt and pants were patched up wherever they were torn.

The original owner was good at needlework; not necessarily excellent, but at least her stitches were quite sturdy. Xu Manman wore the same clothes after she arrived.

You don't have to worry about what to wear in summer, but you can't do that in winter.

Temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius in winter can be deadly.

We need to prepare cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

She had money but no tickets, so she couldn't buy anything. She thought of selling the script to get some tickets.

She was originally in a "whatever happens, happens" attitude. If she didn't run into Lin Miaomiao, she would disguise herself and go to the black market to buy some expensive fabric.

Now that she was certain she wouldn't see Lin Miaomiao, Xu Manman pushed Fei Huainan's wheelchair, preparing to leave.

Someone drew aside the curtain and came out.

Xu Manman turned around as if sensing something, and saw two unfamiliar yet familiar people.

It was the girl with the hat and braids I met at the bookstore last time; she called me poor and shabby.

Xu Manman glanced at it, then looked away and turned to leave.

When the woman with the braided hair saw Xu Manman, she recognized her immediately.

It's not that Xu Manman looks bad; after all, her skin is a bit dark, her features aren't very defined, and she looks rather dull and lacks distinctiveness.

He looked no different from the peasants she remembered.

The only thing that impressed Zheng Xue was the patches on her clothes; there were really quite a lot of them.

It's normal for an ordinary person to have two or three patches on their body, but Xu Manman had more than a dozen patches on her body, and the patches were all brightly colored.

Zheng Xue had seen it once before, just like the door curtains pieced together from scraps of cloth on rural gates, and it left a deep impression on her.

When I saw Xu Manman, I was drawn to the patches on her clothes.

So she didn't see anyone, but recognized Xu Manman by looking at the patches.

Zheng Xue frowned: "It's her again?"

"Dressed like a beggar, how dare they come to see a stage play? It's hilarious. The troupe leader shouldn't have agreed to let the county magistrate perform here."

Zheng Xue was a girl in the performing arts troupe. She had two or three suitors and was always fawned over, so she thought highly of herself.

Seeing that Xu Manman's conditions were obviously not good—she was so ordinary-looking, had no status, and no background—he looked down on her and directly mocked her.

Liu Xinyue, who was standing nearby, also noticed Xu Manman. She glanced at her again, her eyes involuntarily falling on the wheelchair in front of her, which seemed strangely familiar.

He seemed to resemble the person she longed for day and night.

However, it's just a resemblance. The person she likes is a special forces king, who has won countless honors. He is not only highly capable but also handsome, and is the darling of his superiors.

The person in front of her was in a wheelchair; he was definitely not the person she wanted to see.
