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

Xu Manman pretended not to notice Fei Huainan's suspicion and continued eating.

Seeing that Xu Manman was eating with relish and that there was nothing wrong with the food, Fei Huainan then picked up his chopsticks.

He took a bite, chewed it twice, and was pleasantly surprised by the delicious taste on his tongue.

However, she quickly came to terms with it, since Xu Manman cooks at home all day long, so it's normal for her to cook well.

If the Xu family heard this, they would probably be spitting blood.

In the past, when Xu Manman cooked, she would at most just cook the food until it was cooked through, without considering the taste at all.

But everyone ate like that at the time, so it wasn't surprising.

After finishing their meal, Xu Manman was about to clear the dishes when Fei Huainan, limping, took the initiative to do so.

Xu Manman was exhausted after a long day. She told Fei Huainan and went back to her room.

Fei Huainan stared at Xu Manman's departing figure, his eyes filled with suspicion.

A few days ago, she was rude to him, called him a piece of trash, and was very mean and vicious.

But ever since she suffered heatstroke, she seems like a different person, becoming much gentler.

Can a person who is inherently despicable and calculating change for the better?

Fei Huainan didn't believe it; he thought Xu Manman was definitely planning something big.

However, his friend should have received the letter he sent, and he will soon be able to get rid of Xu Manman.

Thinking of this, Fei Huainan finally felt a little better.

……

In the room, Xu Manman was also pondering this matter.

If she wants to live a good life, she must stop Fei Huainan from turning evil.

But she had a gut feeling that Fei Huainan wouldn't easily change his fate; even without her letter of denunciation, there might have been other reasons.

If she wanted to help Fei Huainan, she had to dispel Fei Huainan's wariness of her.

Otherwise, Fei Huainan wouldn't believe anything she said.

Perhaps she should have an open and honest talk with Fei Huainan, and let him believe that she wouldn't hurt him. This would be a better way to prevent him from turning to the dark side.

Xu Manman decided to tell him the next day.

After a good night's sleep, Xu Manman got up early in the morning to make breakfast in order to impress everyone.

She even gently invited Fei Huainan out for dinner.

Two people sat on a rock, with a wooden plank supported by the rock in between serving as a table.

Xu Manman suddenly spoke up: "Anan."

Fei Huainan's calm eyes quietly looked at Xu Manman, wondering what kind of trouble she would cause this time.

Xu Manman thought about how calmly he looked at the corpses on the ground after he shot them in the head, and she felt a little uneasy.

She gave a dry laugh: "Now that we're married, we should work together to build our lives. It's better for both of us."

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Fei Huainan's eyes. He was living a good life, with his demobilization pension and no worries about food or clothing.

Ever since he married Xu Manman, he's been living hand to mouth, and isn't that all thanks to her?

"Want to live a good life? No problem. Just give me back the jade pendant, and I'll trust you!"

Xu Manman: "..."

It's not that she doesn't want to give, it's that she can't afford it.

Xu Manman had considered confessing, but she was unsure whether Fei Huainan, knowing about the existence of the spatial jade pendant, would dissect her like a guinea pig or imprison her.

Human nature is greedy, so she dared not gamble.

She skipped over the issue of the jade pendant and appealed to both emotion and reason.

"Since you also want to live a good life and believe in me, you should cheer up."

Fei Huainan almost laughed out loud. This nonsense is for fooling a three-year-old!

The doctors at the military hospital said there was nothing they could do about his leg; the bullet had damaged the veins, and it was impossible to repair.

From now on, he will only be a useless person.

Thinking of this, Fei Huainan turned dark: "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I'm a useless person with a ruined future. I can't go back to the army and am destined to live a mediocre life."

Xu Manman was startled. "Don't do that, it's scary."

Xu Manman was a little alarmed when she saw someone who was already on the verge of turning evil suddenly start wallowing in self-pity.

She couldn't let Fei Huainan be so negative. Xu Manman turned her stammering head and comforted him, "Don't think like that. You haven't disappointed me. On the contrary, I'm very proud."

"Because you are a soldier, a hero, and your leg is not entirely hopeless."

“I’ve inquired and found that there’s an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the county who is very skilled at treating this kind of external injury.”

"I heard that someone fell off the roof and broke their leg. Later, an incompetent doctor set it incorrectly. Other doctors said they couldn't cure it, but after three months in this doctor's hands, the person was able to walk and jump again."

Fei Huainan didn't immediately refute her. He just stared at Xu Manman's face for a while before speaking, "Are you telling the truth?"

Xu Manman patted her chest and promised, "If I lie to you, I'll be poor for the rest of my life."

That old Chinese medicine doctor was sent down to the county and is currently sweeping the streets. Nobody knows he is a national-level Chinese medicine doctor.

This is also a hint from Xu Manman's dream.

That old Chinese medicine doctor will be exonerated in another year.

In the dream, someone was injured even more severely than Fei Huainan, but that person healed him instantly.

Anyway, this matter can only benefit Fei Huainan and not harm him. Fei Huainan will not lose anything by trusting her once.

After receiving Xu Manman's assurance, Fei Huainan remained silent for a while before softly saying, "Let's eat!"

Xu Manman breathed a sigh of relief. Fei Huainan hadn't refused him, so that meant he was going to take action.

The two of them had the most harmonious breakfast ever.

In the afternoon, Xu Manman picked up a hoe and prepared to turn over her private plot of land.

She was quite efficient at her work and didn't suffer much hardship.

The original owner had a hard time in her stepmother's house, where she had to do a lot of chores. Even though she transmigrated, her physical constitution was still there, so the chores weren't as tiring.

However, she had only hoeed the ground a few times when she heard a group of people walking over in the distance, seemingly carrying something.

Xu Manman simply walked over. Without asking around, she could roughly understand what had happened from the conversations of the people around her.

An elderly man in the cowshed fainted while working, and another elderly man injured his leg.

This cowshed is full of people who have been sent down to the countryside. They are old and do the hardest and most tiring jobs in the village.

The old lady couldn't take it anymore and fainted today, almost passing out.

The villagers all sighed when they talked about it, feeling sorry for him because of his advanced age.

But some people were unhappy, saying that these people were all "stinking intellectuals" and should be beaten to death. The fact that they were still alive was because they were merciful.

If you dare to sympathize with these stinking intellectuals, then you have a problem with your ideological awareness, and be careful that the Revolutionary Committee comes to arrest you.

Upon hearing this, no one dared to say anything more, for fear of saying something wrong and getting themselves implicated.

There were also some people who were genuinely afraid of being arrested by the Revolutionary Committee, so they joined the others in cursing the old lady who had fainted.

The old woman's hair was all white, and her face was full of wrinkles. After she was carried into the cowshed, no one cared about her anymore; her life and death were left to fate.

Standing outside the cowshed, she heard a suppressed sob.

Xu Manman glanced at the people cursing around the cowshed, and at some who looked reluctant but dared not say a word.

At that time, anyone who got involved with the people in the cowshed would not have a good ending.

Xu Manman recalled that in her dream, Fei Huainan was arrested because of the original owner's whistleblower letter, and the old lady in the cowshed also did not survive.

Three days later, Fei Huainan was sent back, and while his fate was unknown, the old lady also died.

When Fei Huainan learned of this news, the way he looked at the original owner of the body was as if he wanted to devour him.

Xu Manman was glad that she had gotten the whistleblower letter back.

Perhaps if he hadn't been taken away by the Revolutionary Committee, he could have visited the old woman in the cowshed at night, and he wouldn't have turned evil and tried to take her down with him.
