Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]
Chapter 52 "Half Life"
At this moment, Tao Shuobai is not in the hotel.
Uncle Mu was very quick in handling affairs, and he had enough money, so he easily rented a shop on West Nanjing Road.This house is an old-fashioned wooden building. There is a shop downstairs for business, and people live upstairs, and the rent is not cheap.The shop is not very big, but Uncle Mu has some experience, so he will set it up right away.
Tao Shuobai likes a house with a yard, but Shanghai has a lot of money, so he has to make do with it.
It wasn't until evening that Gu Manzhen waited for Tao Shuobai, and said anxiously: "Mr. Tao, that person has ulterior motives, I am really worried, please help, I can't let her mess around!"
"Let's see." Tao Shuobai was not so eager for this matter. Apart from the previous work experience that made him very relaxed, he was busy opening a shop and had other plans.Compared with work, he wants to see Junshi sooner.
Tao Shuobai hides his figure and takes Gu Manzhen to Gu's house.
Today Manlu has a guest, this person is called Zhu Hongcai, he was living with Mr. Wang at the stock exchange, and he has no money and ability.Zhu Hongcai came to Gu's house with Mr. Wang before, but now that Manlu is getting older, Mr. Wang doesn't like to come, but Zhu Hongcai is still courteous.
Manzhen saw this Zhu Hongcai, and she didn't like it very much, and was worried about her sister's current situation.She managed to survive until graduation and got a job. Originally, she wanted to take care of the family so that her sister would no longer have to work in this profession. Who would have thought that a cold and fever would lead to this situation.
When they came, they heard little brother Jiemin describing Zhu Hongcai to Gu Zhenzhen: "He looks like a cat when he smiles, but like a mouse when he doesn't."
Gu Zhenzhen knew it was Zhu Hongcai as soon as she heard it, and the contempt and gloating in her eyes could hardly be concealed, but fortunately she was only facing Jiemin.Jiemin was kicking the shuttlecock. He didn't look at her, and even if he did, he wouldn't understand.Gu Zhenzhen didn't want to get involved with Zhu Hongcai, so she immediately hid back in the house.
Gu's mother was sitting in the room while tidying up things and talking to Mrs. Gu. Gu Zhenzhen had always been too lazy to talk to the family, so she greeted her lightly, pretended to be tired, and lay down on the bed early to sleep.
Mother Gu originally planned to ask about the photos, but seeing her like this, she couldn't talk anymore.The photo that Gu's mother pointed to was pressed on the table. It was taken outside by the original Gu Manzhen, Shen Shijun, and Xu Shuhui a few days ago. Among them, she and Xu Shuhui took a group photo one day. Gu's mother obviously misunderstood.
Downstairs, Man Lu is very indifferent to Zhu Hongcai, but Zhu Hongcai is eager to be courteous. When Zhu Hongcai sees a photo album, he mistakes Man Lu's old photos for Manzhen, which makes Man Lu angry, and feels more and more regretful about the loss of youth.The two had a quarrel, and went to eat supper again, and they quarreled until midnight before Zhu Hongcai left.The maid A Bao warmed up the pan-fried buns, and Man Lu went upstairs while eating, seeing that Gu's mother was awake, she began to gossip.
Seeing the sleeping Manzhen, Man Lu sighed.She knew very well that she had no reputation in this line of work, and her younger sister was getting older, and it would not even be good to live with her, so when she talked about this, she thought it would be better for Manzhen to get married as soon as possible.
Gu's mother also said so, but then said: "Your sister is easy to talk about, but I worry about your affairs."
These words made Man Lu's face darken: "Don't worry about my affairs!"
Man Lu knew that her mother wanted her to marry, but she felt wronged.With her current state, how could she get married?Who can marry?She sacrificed herself back then to raise a family, but now the family not only doesn't understand her, but thinks she is ashamed, and even thinks a bit too much, thinking that the family doesn't need her anymore, so they want to send her out.
The atmosphere between the mother and daughter froze.
After a while, Mother Gu hesitated to say something: "I heard that Mu Jin is now the director of the county hospital, and she is not married yet."
Man Lu suddenly laughed: "So what if he's not married? He still wants me? Mom, why are you so unclear, and you're still thinking about him!" After speaking, she pushed the chair and kicked the slippers. Pata went downstairs, and when she returned to the room, she cried a lot under the quilt.
Zhang Mujin was Man Lu's original engagement partner, the two families were somewhat related, and they were childhood sweethearts, so it was a good marriage.But later, Gu's father passed away, and the burden on the family was so heavy. In order to earn a living for the family, Man Lu broke off the marriage with Zhang Mujin ruthlessly, and became a dancer. It has been seven years in a blink of an eye.
Gu Zhenzhen, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, listened to everything, and quietly curled the corners of her lips: It's good to be angry, the more stimulated, the more she will think about finding a way out, and the matter of marrying Zhu Hongcai will not change.
Gu Manzhen was standing by her sister's bed at this time, watching her sad but unable to comfort her.
When she was young, she and her younger siblings would be unhappy whenever seeing Zhang Mujin come to the house. They always felt that this brother Jin was here to rob his sister, and he did a lot of bad things because of it.For example, Zhang Mujin doesn't eat spicy food, so she helped to refill the rice, deliberately put hot sauce on the bottom of the bowl, hoping to see him make a fool of himself, but Zhang Mujin didn't care, and didn't point it out.Now that Zhang Mujin and her sister's marriage failed, thinking of her being the one who made trouble during their short and beautiful time, she couldn't help feeling very guilty and regretful.
Even, Manzhen naively fantasized that perhaps Zhang Mujin would never forget her sister if she hadn't married for many years, maybe he wouldn't despise her sister, after all he knew all about her sister's difficulties as a dancer.
At this time Tao Shuobai came over.
Seeing him, Manzhen hurriedly asked, "Mr. Tao, how is it?"
"It's not difficult to expel her, but she will definitely resist fiercely, so I'm afraid it will hurt your body. If the injury is severe, even if you go back, you may not be able to live." Tao Shuobai had carefully After investigating Gu Zhenzhen's soul, she finally discovered the strangeness in it.
Gu Zhenzhen is a foreign soul, even if she has the opportunity to be reborn here, but the original Gu Manzhen is not dead, how can outsiders easily squeeze out the deity?It's because there is another sojourner in Gu Zhenzhen's soul!
Back then, there were many evil spirits who escaped from hell. There was a female ghost named Meiji who practiced a technique to absorb people's luck.After Meiji fled, she lived on Gu Zhenzhen's body by her instinct, followed Gu Zhenzhen to come here through space, and stole Gu Manzhen's body.Firstly, because Gu Manzhen is the heroine, she has a certain amount of luck, and secondly, Gu Manzhen is sick and is the easiest to invade.
Normally, Meiji could change the host at any time according to her will, but something went wrong, Meiji seemed unable to separate from Gu Zhenzhen.Meiji didn't dare to expose herself, but subconsciously influenced Gu Zhenzhen, and according to this development, one day the souls of the two would merge into one, and Gu Zhenzhen would eventually be swallowed by Meiji.
"Then what should we do?" Manzhen was anxious.
"You can lure her out." Tao Shuobai already had an idea.
Evil ghosts like Meiji are the most greedy. If they find another person with more luck, they will definitely abandon Gu Manzhen. Anyway, Meiji can transfer at will as long as she has enough mana.As long as Meiji takes the bait, Tao Shuobai will attack, once Meiji leaves Gu Manzhen's body, he will have no worries, and it will be much easier to deal with Meiji.
The key now is to find someone to act as bait?
Tao Shuobai's eyes fell on Gu Manlu.
The original book said that Gu Manlu was lucky to help her husband. After marrying Zhu Hongcai, Zhu Hongcai became rich. After Manlu died, Zhu Hongcai's business failed.Although this is a bit of a coincidence, and because Zhu Hongcai speculated and was influenced by psychological factors, many people still believe it nowadays.If Tao Shuobai secretly moved her hands and feet, that Mei Ji met Man Lu every day, it was like seeing a big piece of delicious fat dangling in front of her eyes, how could she not resist eating it?
At that moment, he told Manzhen about the plan, without mentioning the existence of Meiji, which made Manzhen think that the soul from this other world was greedy for luck and had tricks.
Manzhen hesitated: "She won't hurt my sister?"
Now Manzhen has a deep prejudice against the occupiers and is full of vigilance, fearing that the other party will have some tricks.
"will not."
Manzhen thought of the other party's unpredictable means, and he didn't want his family to continue living with the occupant, so he finally agreed.
As expected, living under the same roof every day, Gu Zhenzhen sees Manlu almost every day, and the same is true of Meiji living in her body. Within a few days, Meiji discovers that Manlu's luck is gradually increasing, surpassing Gu Manzhen.From Gu Zhenzhen's memory, Meiji also knew the general story of this small world, and immediately thought of Manlu's original fate trajectory, thinking that this was the time when Manlu's luck flourished.At the beginning, I could bear it, but after half a month of hard work, Manlu was like a big cake exuding an incomparably rich aroma, which attracted Meiji's salivation. Compared with Manzhen's unwavering luck, Meiji finally made up her mind Abandoning Manzhen, instead detaining Manlu.
Mei Ji is very greedy, she not only wants to devour Man Lu's luck, but also Zhu Hongcai's luck.
At this time, Man Lu has confessed to her family that she wants to marry Zhu Hongcai!
Man Lu knew what kind of person Zhu Hongcai was, and knew that he had no money, but she was a dancer herself, so she was not an innocent person.She was getting old, and she just wanted to find someone reliable to marry and find a place for the rest of her life, so Zhu Hongcai came into her sight.She really didn't have anyone to choose from. Zhu Hongcai was willing to marry her, and she was confident that he could handle him. As for Zhu Hongcai's wife and children in the countryside...
Man Lu refused to be wronged after all, and insisted on having a formal banquet. Zhu Hongcai had no choice but to pay attention to her, so she agreed.Although the marriage was negotiated, both of them felt wronged.
Gu Zhenzhen didn't say a word about this matter, but she gloated secretly, and decided that when Man Lu got married, she should hurry up the progress of her relationship with Shen Shijun.She didn't need to do much, she just nodded when Shen Shijun proposed to get married, and then followed him to Nanjing after he resigned, leaving the Gu family without revealing anything, without breaking her own reserve.Shen Shijun, and even the Shen family, will never know about Gu Manlu, so they will never be able to dislike her. After a long time, even if the secret is revealed, it doesn't matter.
The night before Man Lu's wedding, Gu Zhenzhen was sitting in the house worrying.
Originally, she, Shen Shijun and Xu Shuhui ate together every day, but for some reason, Shen Shijun deliberately avoided her in the past few days, and often used excuses not to go together.She thinks her communication skills are not bad, and her conversation with Xu Shuhui is even better than before, but every time the conversation gets deep, Xu Shuhui will change the topic.This makes her very upset!This was completely different from what she had expected at the beginning, and she didn't even understand how she was worse than Gu Manzhen?Why can Shen Shijun fall in love with Gu Manzhen, but become more and more alienated from her who has Gu Manzhen's body and appearance?
Gu Zhenzhen didn't understand, it was she who thought she was generous and eloquent, which made Shen Shijun and Xu Shuhui disagree. Many of her words and deeds were not tolerated in this era, and in the eyes of Shen Shijun and others, they were even frivolous.A woman, no matter how beautiful she is, once the word frivolous is used, men will no longer respect her.
Xu Shuhui has known Gu Manzhen for a long time. He was surprised at Gu Manzhen's sudden change, and then remembered Gu Manzhen's eager eyes towards Shen Shijun, his over-the-top movements, and realized that he regarded Gu Manzhen as a girl who clings to frivolity and is not prudent.Since then, the chats are still there, but the mentality has changed. Every time there are some jokes in the jokes that are very disrespectful to women. The partiality Gu Zhenzhen is from a later life.
Shen Shijun had a good impression of Manzhen at first, and he lost one of Manzhen's gloves when he went out, and even went to find it by himself in the rain.But all of a sudden, for some reason, Manzhen changed, Shen Shijun became more and more disliked, and the confused Shijun could only escape temporarily.
Meiji has been watching with cold eyes, seeing Gu Zhenzhen being stupid because of her inexplicable sense of superiority and overconfidence, she really sneered.
As the night darkened, Gu Zhenzhen was already sound asleep, and Mei Ji started to move quietly.
When Gu Zhenzhen woke up, she opened her eyes and felt something was wrong, as if the room was wrong.He sat up abruptly, looked around, and finally found her in Manlu's room.How is this going?Gu Zhenzhen opened her mouth and called out "Sister". As soon as the words came out, she covered her mouth in shock. Why did she make a Manlu voice?
Gu Zhenzhen looked down at the black satin nightgown with big white flowers on her body, then stretched out her arms to look at the bright red Kodan in her hand, trembling, she touched her head, and it turned out that she had permed curly hair.With a scream of "ah", she fell off the bed, lay down in front of the dressing table and grabbed the mirror, and when she looked at it, it was almost dark.
She, how did she become Gu Manlu? !
At this time, there were three people standing opposite her: Tao Shuobai, Gu Manzhen, and Gu Manlu.
Last night, Tao Shuobai wanted to take advantage of Meiji leaving Manzhen's body to cast a spell, but for some reason Manlu's soul floated out, he was surprised, his hands stopped, and Meiji had already entered Manlu's body.
Gu Manzhen was surprised and happy when he saw Manlu, and then burst into tears. He mistakenly thought that his sister, like her, was occupied and could not survive. Gu Manzhen always felt ashamed of her sister, but now that her body was free, she refused to go up. Instead, give Manlu the chance.Naturally, Manlu refused, fearing that delaying the timing would affect her health and longevity, she urged Manzhen to return to her genitals as soon as possible, but Manzhen couldn't bear to let her sister suffer alone, she just shouldn't.
In the end, Tao Shuobai cast a spell to "keep fresh" Gu Manzhen's body for a short time, and outsiders just fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Manzhen didn't notice it, but Tao Shuobai noticed Man Lu's abnormality, and he was afraid that this Man Lu was not that "Man Lu".After a little calculation, it's clear.It turned out that on the night before her wedding, Man Lu didn't have the shyness, nervousness, and longing of the newlyweds at all, only dazed, no matter how strong she usually said, she didn't know how Zhu Hongcai would treat her in the future.Looking back on the previous 24 years, her happiest days were when Gu’s father was with her. At that time, the family was happy and happy. She was still a simple girl like Manzhen, with a childhood sweetheart fiancé, who originally thought she would be Mrs. Zhang in the future...
Tomorrow and beyond, I will be Mrs. Zhu.
Man Lu was thinking wildly in a trance, her mind sank for some reason, and when she opened her eyes again, she turned into a ghost, and it came from Man Lu who died of illness four or five years later.Man Lu found herself back in the Gu family, and everything was as it used to be. Before she died, apart from worrying about Rong Bao, Manzhen felt the most guilty. She regretted designing her own sister.As if in a dream, she went upstairs and came to Manzhen's room, but in the end she really saw Manzhen!
Man Lu has been flattering in Fengyue for seven years, and has been Mrs. Zhu for a few more years. Naturally, she is more scheming than Manzhen.
It turned out that it was not a dream, she really came back, back to four or five years ago, when nothing happened.He also learned that there is a soul from another world who has occupied Manzhen's body, and now he wants to covet her luck, so he can't help laughing.She is such a dirty person, but also has a coveted luck?Since people like it, let it out!
Man Lu never dared to look directly at Tao Shuobai, even if Manzhen didn't tell her, she could tell that this strange man was extraordinary.Behind Manzhen's back, she begged the other party not to tell Manzhen the truth, what the truth refers to, and each other knew it well.In addition, Man Lu asked Qing how to pay back the sun, secretly planning in her heart.
"It's your fate to be able to do it again, so you can do it yourself." Tao Shuobai is not a nosy character, not to mention that it is inconvenient for outsiders to intervene in this kind of housework.
Tao Shuobai asked her about their plans again.
Man Lu first said: "I don't think this Gu Zhenzhen is a good-tempered person. Marrying Zhu Hong will make trouble. Let them be lively, and when Zhu Hongcai gets annoyed, I will go back and solve this mess."
Naturally, she hated Zhu Hongcai, so she used Gu Zhenzhen's hand to vent her anger first.
But Manzhen worried: "What if Gu Zhenzhen eats my sister's luck? It's better to go back early." On the other hand, it was her sister's body, and Manzhen didn't want to see Gu Zhenzhen occupying the magpie's nest with disgust. , and feared that Gu Zhenzhen would not cherish her and make her sister's body worse.
"What's the matter, my body is already like that." Pian Manlu didn't take it seriously.
Tao Shuobai said: "This Gu Zhenzhen is quite capable, you two should not get too close to her, in case something happens."
Originally relying on Meiji's ability, even the little ghosts would not dare to get close to her, but now... perhaps because of the injury, Meiji's soul and body are incomplete, and her mana has declined, so that she can only be entangled with Gu Zhenzhen.However, Meiji has swallowed some of Manzhen's anger, if she doesn't care, it's only a matter of time before she recovers.Of course Tao Shuobai would not let it go, she missed the opportunity this time, in order to protect Man Lu from damage, she had to wait for the next woman with strong luck to appear.
Meiji's skills are limited, she can only possess women.
After explaining the matter, Tao Shuobai left.
Man Lu dragged Manzhen upstairs, not to look at Gu Zhenzhen who seemed to be insane.
"Sister?" Gu Manzhen vaguely felt that her sister was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, maybe it was her temper.According to common sense, Man Lu would jump up and scold her when she encountered this kind of thing, and Zhu Hongcai was the one she was willing to marry, so why did her attitude change so quickly?But Manzhen didn't ask, even if her sister became a dancer, in her eyes, Zhu Hongcai was not good enough for her sister.
Man Lu didn't speak, and dragged her into the room, and walked to the bed. Gu Manzhen lying on the bed had a peaceful breath and a peaceful face, as if she had fallen asleep normally.Because Man Lu is getting married tomorrow, Mother Gu is talking to Mrs. Gu, worrying about trivial matters, so there is no one else in this room.
Without waiting for Manzhen to ask again, Manlu suddenly grabbed her and pushed her. Manzhen fell down with an "ah" sound, and when she opened her eyes again, the room was empty, but she had already returned to her body.
"Sister? Sister, are you there? Sister!" Manzhen yelled several times, and suddenly remembered that people and ghosts have different paths, can't see or hear, and couldn't help crying.
Man Lu looked at her sister who was so worried about her, and her guilt and remorse deepened: "Manzhen, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you."
Man Lu wanted to make amends wholeheartedly, and after thinking for a long time, all she could do was try her best to facilitate the marriage between Manzhen and Shen Shijun.She also knew that although the obstacles to the marriage of the two were related to each other, the most criticized was her sister's identity - a dancing girl!How many innocent dancers are the breadwinners?Even if he was really innocent, he would not be innocent if he stayed in such a place.
In the morning, Ah Bao came to deliver the face wash, and found "Manlu" with a haggard look. He was surprised and hurriedly called Gu's mother and others.Except for Gu Manzhen, no one knew that the person in front of him was no longer Man Lu.
Manzhen was going to get dressed and go downstairs, but she felt dizzy, heavy and weak, so she couldn't stand up for a long time.She suddenly remembered what Tao Shuobai had said, she knew that the qi in her body had been replenished, so her body would be weak, and she was afraid that she would have to heal her wounds carefully for a period of time.
It's fine if she doesn't go down, but she's also afraid that the fake Man Lu will show her mistakes, and it's not good to offend him.
Across the floor, Manzhen heard shouts coming from downstairs: "No! I won't marry Zhu Hongcai! Then what is Zhu Hongcai, I won't marry! Get out! Get out!"
The old lady Gu and the others were stunned. They looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.
Gu's mother saw that the time was almost up, Zhu Hongcai was about to come to pick him up, and she was afraid that the trouble would be bad, so she wanted Manzhen to persuade her.Unexpectedly, when I went upstairs to see Manzhen's face was pale, sweating profusely, and looked seriously ill, I was really shocked again.
"Weimin, Weimin, your second sister is sick, go see a doctor!" Mother Gu shouted anxiously.
Although Manzhen wanted to comfort her mother, but she couldn't do what she wanted, so she stopped talking altogether.
Weimin didn't go to ask for a doctor. He was standing in Manlu's room at this time, and said angrily, "Eldest sister, what are you doing? You are the one who wants to get married, and you choose the person. You are going out soon. But you say you don’t want to get married, so Zhu Hong can just let it go? You are clamoring for him to hold a serious banquet, and all the guests on his side are full. Our neighbors here also know that you are going to get married. If you change your mind, you have to Let our family lose face!"
Wei Min is 14 years old and in the middle of puberty. He already felt that his eldest sister was ashamed of being a dancer, and he was even more afraid that his eldest sister would cause trouble. He couldn't hold his head up when he went out.Weimin didn't know how to be considerate, and he didn't think about being grateful. He just wished he could not have such an embarrassing elder sister, so when his temper came up, he didn't care about what he said.
Although Gu Zhenzhen is not the original owner, she is not a tempered person, not to mention that the Gu family has no good things in her eyes.This Gu Zhenzhen was already angry, and when she saw Weimin say these words, she went up and slapped her face twice, cursing: "Unconscionable thing! You think I'm ashamed? Without me, what would you eat, drink? What would you take?" Going to school? Now you know how to dislike me? That's fine, you have a backbone, if you really have a backbone, don't use my money, my money is dirty!"
This slap stunned Weimin, and he blushed from being scolded by the phone call again. As soon as he got angry, he shouted: "If you don't use it, don't use it. I won't use your dirty money from now on!" Granny Gu stopped her, and ran out of the house sullenly.
Mrs. Gu and Mother Gu were anxious and angry, but they didn't dare to speak to Man Lu, so they could only hurry after Weimin, fearing that something would happen to Weimin.The other three little ones Xuemin, Jiemin and Manya were also frightened, and stayed outside the door, not daring to say anything.
The surroundings quieted down, and Gu Zhenzhen gradually calmed down. No matter how unwilling she was, she had already become Manlu.She knew Zhu Hongcai's character, he was bragging, he loved face, if he dared to lose his face, he would definitely lose face, how could she, a woman, compete against her?Don't count on the Gu family.
Gu Zhenzhen is not reconciled, she feels disgusted when she thinks of Zhu Hongcai's appearance, how can she marry him.
How to do?
Uncle Mu was very quick in handling affairs, and he had enough money, so he easily rented a shop on West Nanjing Road.This house is an old-fashioned wooden building. There is a shop downstairs for business, and people live upstairs, and the rent is not cheap.The shop is not very big, but Uncle Mu has some experience, so he will set it up right away.
Tao Shuobai likes a house with a yard, but Shanghai has a lot of money, so he has to make do with it.
It wasn't until evening that Gu Manzhen waited for Tao Shuobai, and said anxiously: "Mr. Tao, that person has ulterior motives, I am really worried, please help, I can't let her mess around!"
"Let's see." Tao Shuobai was not so eager for this matter. Apart from the previous work experience that made him very relaxed, he was busy opening a shop and had other plans.Compared with work, he wants to see Junshi sooner.
Tao Shuobai hides his figure and takes Gu Manzhen to Gu's house.
Today Manlu has a guest, this person is called Zhu Hongcai, he was living with Mr. Wang at the stock exchange, and he has no money and ability.Zhu Hongcai came to Gu's house with Mr. Wang before, but now that Manlu is getting older, Mr. Wang doesn't like to come, but Zhu Hongcai is still courteous.
Manzhen saw this Zhu Hongcai, and she didn't like it very much, and was worried about her sister's current situation.She managed to survive until graduation and got a job. Originally, she wanted to take care of the family so that her sister would no longer have to work in this profession. Who would have thought that a cold and fever would lead to this situation.
When they came, they heard little brother Jiemin describing Zhu Hongcai to Gu Zhenzhen: "He looks like a cat when he smiles, but like a mouse when he doesn't."
Gu Zhenzhen knew it was Zhu Hongcai as soon as she heard it, and the contempt and gloating in her eyes could hardly be concealed, but fortunately she was only facing Jiemin.Jiemin was kicking the shuttlecock. He didn't look at her, and even if he did, he wouldn't understand.Gu Zhenzhen didn't want to get involved with Zhu Hongcai, so she immediately hid back in the house.
Gu's mother was sitting in the room while tidying up things and talking to Mrs. Gu. Gu Zhenzhen had always been too lazy to talk to the family, so she greeted her lightly, pretended to be tired, and lay down on the bed early to sleep.
Mother Gu originally planned to ask about the photos, but seeing her like this, she couldn't talk anymore.The photo that Gu's mother pointed to was pressed on the table.

Gu's mother also said so, but then said: "Your sister is easy to talk about, but I worry about your affairs."
These words made Man Lu's face darken: "Don't worry about my affairs!"
Man Lu knew that her mother wanted her to marry, but she felt wronged.With her current state, how could she get married?Who can marry?She sacrificed herself back then to raise a family, but now the family not only doesn't understand her, but thinks she is ashamed, and even thinks a bit too much, thinking that the family doesn't need her anymore, so they want to send her out.
The atmosphere between the mother and daughter froze.
After a while, Mother Gu hesitated to say something: "I heard that Mu Jin is now the director of the county hospital, and she is not married yet."
Man Lu suddenly laughed: "So what if he's not married? He still wants me? Mom, why are you so unclear, and you're still thinking about him!" After speaking, she pushed the chair and kicked the slippers. Pata went downstairs, and when she returned to the room, she cried a lot under the quilt.
Zhang Mujin was Man Lu's original engagement partner, the two families were somewhat related, and they were childhood sweethearts, so it was a good marriage.But later, Gu's father passed away, and the burden on the family was so heavy. In order to earn a living for the family, Man Lu broke off the marriage with Zhang Mujin ruthlessly, and became a dancer. It has been seven years in a blink of an eye.

Gu Manzhen was standing by her sister's bed at this time, watching her sad but unable to comfort her.
When she was young, she and her younger siblings would be unhappy whenever seeing Zhang Mujin come to the house. They always felt that this brother Jin was here to rob his sister, and he did a lot of bad things because of it.For example, Zhang Mujin doesn't eat spicy food, so she helped to refill the rice, deliberately put hot sauce on the bottom of the bowl, hoping to see him make a fool of himself, but Zhang Mujin didn't care, and didn't point it out.Now that Zhang Mujin and her sister's marriage failed, thinking of her being the one who made trouble during their short and beautiful time, she couldn't help feeling very guilty and regretful.
Even, Manzhen naively fantasized that perhaps Zhang Mujin would never forget her sister if she hadn't married for many years, maybe he wouldn't despise her sister, after all he knew all about her sister's difficulties as a dancer.
At this time Tao Shuobai came over.
Seeing him, Manzhen hurriedly asked, "Mr. Tao, how is it?"
"It's not difficult to expel her, but she will definitely resist fiercely, so I'm afraid it will hurt your body. If the injury is severe, even if you go back, you may not be able to live." Tao Shuobai had carefully After investigating Gu Zhenzhen's soul, she finally discovered the strangeness in it.
Gu Zhenzhen is a foreign soul, even if she has the opportunity to be reborn here, but the original Gu Manzhen is not dead, how can outsiders easily squeeze out the deity?It's because there is another sojourner in Gu Zhenzhen's soul!
Back then, there were many evil spirits who escaped from hell. There was a female ghost named Meiji who practiced a technique to absorb people's luck.After Meiji fled, she lived on Gu Zhenzhen's body by her instinct, followed Gu Zhenzhen to come here through space, and stole Gu Manzhen's body.Firstly, because Gu Manzhen is the heroine, she has a certain amount of luck, and secondly, Gu Manzhen is sick and is the easiest to invade.
Normally, Meiji could change the host at any time according to her will, but something went wrong, Meiji seemed unable to separate from Gu Zhenzhen.Meiji didn't dare to expose herself, but subconsciously influenced Gu Zhenzhen, and according to this development, one day the souls of the two would merge into one, and Gu Zhenzhen would eventually be swallowed by Meiji.
"Then what should we do?" Manzhen was anxious.
"You can lure her out." Tao Shuobai already had an idea.
Evil ghosts like Meiji are the most greedy. If they find another person with more luck, they will definitely abandon Gu Manzhen. Anyway, Meiji can transfer at will as long as she has enough mana.As long as Meiji takes the bait, Tao Shuobai will attack, once Meiji leaves Gu Manzhen's body, he will have no worries, and it will be much easier to deal with Meiji.
The key now is to find someone to act as bait?
Tao Shuobai's eyes fell on Gu Manlu.
The original book said that Gu Manlu was lucky to help her husband. After marrying Zhu Hongcai, Zhu Hongcai became rich. After Manlu died, Zhu Hongcai's business failed.Although this is a bit of a coincidence, and because Zhu Hongcai speculated and was influenced by psychological factors, many people still believe it nowadays.If Tao Shuobai secretly moved her hands and feet, that Mei Ji met Man Lu every day, it was like seeing a big piece of delicious fat dangling in front of her eyes, how could she not resist eating it?
At that moment, he told Manzhen about the plan, without mentioning the existence of Meiji, which made Manzhen think that the soul from this other world was greedy for luck and had tricks.
Manzhen hesitated: "She won't hurt my sister?"
Now Manzhen has a deep prejudice against the occupiers and is full of vigilance, fearing that the other party will have some tricks.
"will not."
Manzhen thought of the other party's unpredictable means, and he didn't want his family to continue living with the occupant, so he finally agreed.
As expected, living under the same roof every day, Gu Zhenzhen sees Manlu almost every day, and the same is true of Meiji living in her body. Within a few days, Meiji discovers that Manlu's luck is gradually increasing, surpassing Gu Manzhen.From Gu Zhenzhen's memory, Meiji also knew the general story of this small world, and immediately thought of Manlu's original fate trajectory, thinking that this was the time when Manlu's luck flourished.At the beginning, I could bear it, but after half a month of hard work, Manlu was like a big cake exuding an incomparably rich aroma, which attracted Meiji's salivation. Compared with Manzhen's unwavering luck, Meiji finally made up her mind Abandoning Manzhen, instead detaining Manlu.
Mei Ji is very greedy, she not only wants to devour Man Lu's luck, but also Zhu Hongcai's luck.
At this time, Man Lu has confessed to her family that she wants to marry Zhu Hongcai!
Man Lu knew what kind of person Zhu Hongcai was, and knew that he had no money, but she was a dancer herself, so she was not an innocent person.She was getting old, and she just wanted to find someone reliable to marry and find a place for the rest of her life, so Zhu Hongcai came into her sight.She really didn't have anyone to choose from. Zhu Hongcai was willing to marry her, and she was confident that he could handle him. As for Zhu Hongcai's wife and children in the countryside...
Man Lu refused to be wronged after all, and insisted on having a formal banquet. Zhu Hongcai had no choice but to pay attention to her, so she agreed.Although the marriage was negotiated, both of them felt wronged.
Gu Zhenzhen didn't say a word about this matter, but she gloated secretly, and decided that when Man Lu got married, she should hurry up the progress of her relationship with Shen Shijun.She didn't need to do much, she just nodded when Shen Shijun proposed to get married, and then followed him to Nanjing after he resigned, leaving the Gu family without revealing anything, without breaking her own reserve.Shen Shijun, and even the Shen family, will never know about Gu Manlu, so they will never be able to dislike her. After a long time, even if the secret is revealed, it doesn't matter.
The night before Man Lu's wedding, Gu Zhenzhen was sitting in the house worrying.
Originally, she, Shen Shijun and Xu Shuhui ate together every day, but for some reason, Shen Shijun deliberately avoided her in the past few days, and often used excuses not to go together.She thinks her communication skills are not bad, and her conversation with Xu Shuhui is even better than before, but every time the conversation gets deep, Xu Shuhui will change the topic.This makes her very upset!This was completely different from what she had expected at the beginning, and she didn't even understand how she was worse than Gu Manzhen?Why can Shen Shijun fall in love with Gu Manzhen, but become more and more alienated from her who has Gu Manzhen's body and appearance?
Gu Zhenzhen didn't understand, it was she who thought she was generous and eloquent, which made Shen Shijun and Xu Shuhui disagree. Many of her words and deeds were not tolerated in this era, and in the eyes of Shen Shijun and others, they were even frivolous.A woman, no matter how beautiful she is, once the word frivolous is used, men will no longer respect her.
Xu Shuhui has known Gu Manzhen for a long time. He was surprised at Gu Manzhen's sudden change, and then remembered Gu Manzhen's eager eyes towards Shen Shijun, his over-the-top movements, and realized that he regarded Gu Manzhen as a girl who clings to frivolity and is not prudent.Since then, the chats are still there, but the mentality has changed. Every time there are some jokes in the jokes that are very disrespectful to women. The partiality Gu Zhenzhen is from a later life.
Shen Shijun had a good impression of Manzhen at first, and he lost one of Manzhen's gloves when he went out, and even went to find it by himself in the rain.But all of a sudden, for some reason, Manzhen changed, Shen Shijun became more and more disliked, and the confused Shijun could only escape temporarily.
Meiji has been watching with cold eyes, seeing Gu Zhenzhen being stupid because of her inexplicable sense of superiority and overconfidence, she really sneered.
As the night darkened, Gu Zhenzhen was already sound asleep, and Mei Ji started to move quietly.
When Gu Zhenzhen woke up, she opened her eyes and felt something was wrong, as if the room was wrong.He sat up abruptly, looked around, and finally found her in Manlu's room.How is this going?Gu Zhenzhen opened her mouth and called out "Sister". As soon as the words came out, she covered her mouth in shock. Why did she make a Manlu voice?
Gu Zhenzhen looked down at the black satin nightgown with big white flowers on her body, then stretched out her arms to look at the bright red Kodan in her hand, trembling, she touched her head, and it turned out that she had permed curly hair.With a scream of "ah", she fell off the bed, lay down in front of the dressing table and grabbed the mirror, and when she looked at it, it was almost dark.
She, how did she become Gu Manlu? !
At this time, there were three people standing opposite her: Tao Shuobai, Gu Manzhen, and Gu Manlu.
Last night, Tao Shuobai wanted to take advantage of Meiji leaving Manzhen's body to cast a spell, but for some reason Manlu's soul floated out, he was surprised, his hands stopped, and Meiji had already entered Manlu's body.
Gu Manzhen was surprised and happy when he saw Manlu, and then burst into tears. He mistakenly thought that his sister, like her, was occupied and could not survive. Gu Manzhen always felt ashamed of her sister, but now that her body was free, she refused to go up. Instead, give Manlu the chance.Naturally, Manlu refused, fearing that delaying the timing would affect her health and longevity, she urged Manzhen to return to her genitals as soon as possible, but Manzhen couldn't bear to let her sister suffer alone, she just shouldn't.
In the end, Tao Shuobai cast a spell to "keep fresh" Gu Manzhen's body for a short time, and outsiders just fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Manzhen didn't notice it, but Tao Shuobai noticed Man Lu's abnormality, and he was afraid that this Man Lu was not that "Man Lu".After a little calculation, it's clear.It turned out that on the night before her wedding, Man Lu didn't have the shyness, nervousness, and longing of the newlyweds at all, only dazed, no matter how strong she usually said, she didn't know how Zhu Hongcai would treat her in the future.Looking back on the previous 24 years, her happiest days were when Gu’s father was with her. At that time, the family was happy and happy. She was still a simple girl like Manzhen, with a childhood sweetheart fiancé, who originally thought she would be Mrs. Zhang in the future...
Tomorrow and beyond, I will be Mrs. Zhu.
Man Lu was thinking wildly in a trance, her mind sank for some reason, and when she opened her eyes again, she turned into a ghost, and it came from Man Lu who died of illness four or five years later.Man Lu found herself back in the Gu family, and everything was as it used to be. Before she died, apart from worrying about Rong Bao, Manzhen felt the most guilty. She regretted designing her own sister.As if in a dream, she went upstairs and came to Manzhen's room, but in the end she really saw Manzhen!
Man Lu has been flattering in Fengyue for seven years, and has been Mrs. Zhu for a few more years. Naturally, she is more scheming than Manzhen.
It turned out that it was not a dream, she really came back, back to four or five years ago, when nothing happened.He also learned that there is a soul from another world who has occupied Manzhen's body, and now he wants to covet her luck, so he can't help laughing.She is such a dirty person, but also has a coveted luck?Since people like it, let it out!
Man Lu never dared to look directly at Tao Shuobai, even if Manzhen didn't tell her, she could tell that this strange man was extraordinary.Behind Manzhen's back, she begged the other party not to tell Manzhen the truth, what the truth refers to, and each other knew it well.In addition, Man Lu asked Qing how to pay back the sun, secretly planning in her heart.
"It's your fate to be able to do it again, so you can do it yourself." Tao Shuobai is not a nosy character, not to mention that it is inconvenient for outsiders to intervene in this kind of housework.
Tao Shuobai asked her about their plans again.
Man Lu first said: "I don't think this Gu Zhenzhen is a good-tempered person. Marrying Zhu Hong will make trouble. Let them be lively, and when Zhu Hongcai gets annoyed, I will go back and solve this mess."
Naturally, she hated Zhu Hongcai, so she used Gu Zhenzhen's hand to vent her anger first.
But Manzhen worried: "What if Gu Zhenzhen eats my sister's luck? It's better to go back early." On the other hand, it was her sister's body, and Manzhen didn't want to see Gu Zhenzhen occupying the magpie's nest with disgust. , and feared that Gu Zhenzhen would not cherish her and make her sister's body worse.
"What's the matter, my body is already like that." Pian Manlu didn't take it seriously.
Tao Shuobai said: "This Gu Zhenzhen is quite capable, you two should not get too close to her, in case something happens."
Originally relying on Meiji's ability, even the little ghosts would not dare to get close to her, but now... perhaps because of the injury, Meiji's soul and body are incomplete, and her mana has declined, so that she can only be entangled with Gu Zhenzhen.However, Meiji has swallowed some of Manzhen's anger, if she doesn't care, it's only a matter of time before she recovers.Of course Tao Shuobai would not let it go, she missed the opportunity this time, in order to protect Man Lu from damage, she had to wait for the next woman with strong luck to appear.
Meiji's skills are limited, she can only possess women.
After explaining the matter, Tao Shuobai left.
Man Lu dragged Manzhen upstairs, not to look at Gu Zhenzhen who seemed to be insane.
"Sister?" Gu Manzhen vaguely felt that her sister was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, maybe it was her temper.According to common sense, Man Lu would jump up and scold her when she encountered this kind of thing, and Zhu Hongcai was the one she was willing to marry, so why did her attitude change so quickly?But Manzhen didn't ask, even if her sister became a dancer, in her eyes, Zhu Hongcai was not good enough for her sister.
Man Lu didn't speak, and dragged her into the room, and walked to the bed. Gu Manzhen lying on the bed had a peaceful breath and a peaceful face, as if she had fallen asleep normally.Because Man Lu is getting married tomorrow, Mother Gu is talking to Mrs. Gu, worrying about trivial matters, so there is no one else in this room.
Without waiting for Manzhen to ask again, Manlu suddenly grabbed her and pushed her. Manzhen fell down with an "ah" sound, and when she opened her eyes again, the room was empty, but she had already returned to her body.
"Sister? Sister, are you there? Sister!" Manzhen yelled several times, and suddenly remembered that people and ghosts have different paths, can't see or hear, and couldn't help crying.
Man Lu looked at her sister who was so worried about her, and her guilt and remorse deepened: "Manzhen, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you."
Man Lu wanted to make amends wholeheartedly, and after thinking for a long time, all she could do was try her best to facilitate the marriage between Manzhen and Shen Shijun.She also knew that although the obstacles to the marriage of the two were related to each other, the most criticized was her sister's identity - a dancing girl!How many innocent dancers are the breadwinners?Even if he was really innocent, he would not be innocent if he stayed in such a place.
In the morning, Ah Bao came to deliver the face wash, and found "Manlu" with a haggard look. He was surprised and hurriedly called Gu's mother and others.Except for Gu Manzhen, no one knew that the person in front of him was no longer Man Lu.
Manzhen was going to get dressed and go downstairs, but she felt dizzy, heavy and weak, so she couldn't stand up for a long time.She suddenly remembered what Tao Shuobai had said, she knew that the qi in her body had been replenished, so her body would be weak, and she was afraid that she would have to heal her wounds carefully for a period of time.
It's fine if she doesn't go down, but she's also afraid that the fake Man Lu will show her mistakes, and it's not good to offend him.
Across the floor, Manzhen heard shouts coming from downstairs: "No! I won't marry Zhu Hongcai! Then what is Zhu Hongcai, I won't marry! Get out! Get out!"
The old lady Gu and the others were stunned. They looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.
Gu's mother saw that the time was almost up, Zhu Hongcai was about to come to pick him up, and she was afraid that the trouble would be bad, so she wanted Manzhen to persuade her.Unexpectedly, when I went upstairs to see Manzhen's face was pale, sweating profusely, and looked seriously ill, I was really shocked again.
"Weimin, Weimin, your second sister is sick, go see a doctor!" Mother Gu shouted anxiously.
Although Manzhen wanted to comfort her mother, but she couldn't do what she wanted, so she stopped talking altogether.
Weimin didn't go to ask for a doctor. He was standing in Manlu's room at this time, and said angrily, "Eldest sister, what are you doing? You are the one who wants to get married, and you choose the person. You are going out soon. But you say you don’t want to get married, so Zhu Hong can just let it go? You are clamoring for him to hold a serious banquet, and all the guests on his side are full. Our neighbors here also know that you are going to get married. If you change your mind, you have to Let our family lose face!"
Wei Min is 14 years old and in the middle of puberty. He already felt that his eldest sister was ashamed of being a dancer, and he was even more afraid that his eldest sister would cause trouble. He couldn't hold his head up when he went out.Weimin didn't know how to be considerate, and he didn't think about being grateful. He just wished he could not have such an embarrassing elder sister, so when his temper came up, he didn't care about what he said.
Although Gu Zhenzhen is not the original owner, she is not a tempered person, not to mention that the Gu family has no good things in her eyes.This Gu Zhenzhen was already angry, and when she saw Weimin say these words, she went up and slapped her face twice, cursing: "Unconscionable thing! You think I'm ashamed? Without me, what would you eat, drink? What would you take?" Going to school? Now you know how to dislike me? That's fine, you have a backbone, if you really have a backbone, don't use my money, my money is dirty!"
This slap stunned Weimin, and he blushed from being scolded by the phone call again. As soon as he got angry, he shouted: "If you don't use it, don't use it. I won't use your dirty money from now on!" Granny Gu stopped her, and ran out of the house sullenly.
Mrs. Gu and Mother Gu were anxious and angry, but they didn't dare to speak to Man Lu, so they could only hurry after Weimin, fearing that something would happen to Weimin.The other three little ones Xuemin, Jiemin and Manya were also frightened, and stayed outside the door, not daring to say anything.
The surroundings quieted down, and Gu Zhenzhen gradually calmed down. No matter how unwilling she was, she had already become Manlu.She knew Zhu Hongcai's character, he was bragging, he loved face, if he dared to lose his face, he would definitely lose face, how could she, a woman, compete against her?Don't count on the Gu family.
Gu Zhenzhen is not reconciled, she feels disgusted when she thinks of Zhu Hongcai's appearance, how can she marry him.
