Chapter 957: What Are You Thinking? Just Feeling Satisfied
Liu Zhiyuan wore a look of schadenfreude; seeing Liu Chuxue still waiting for the rest of the story, she quickly added, "But do you know? On New Year's Eve afternoon, Xiao Fu caught his own wife meeting a man in secret. In a rage, he beat Ding Surong until she miscarried. If not for the village cadres pulling him off to prevent a disaster, Ding Zhiqing might not have even survived."
Liu Chuxue's mind raced: "How did he find out?"
Liu Zhiyuan patted Liu Chuxue's shoulder: "No wonder they say you're smart; you hit the nail on the head immediately."
"It was only afterwards that everyone learned this was Chen Weiping's doing; he had leaked the news to Xiao Fu in advance."
"Then how did Chen Weiping know about Ding Zhiqing's affair?"
Liu Zhiyuan lowered her voice: "I heard my grandpa say that Ding Zhiqing knew Chen Weiping's wife's lover. He suspected that from the start, Ding Zhiqing knew the child in his wife's belly wasn't his own seed and thought Ding Zhiqing was laughing at him."
"By chance, Chen Weiping met Ding Zhiqing with the man who came to find her on New Year's Eve while out on the street. At the time, he didn't take it to heart, but not long ago, while playing mahjong with his drinking buddies, he happened to see the two of them pulling and tugging at each other. He secretly followed them and learned that Ding Surong wasn't any better, so he formed a desire for revenge."
"He followed the man who was pulling and tugging with Ding Zhiqing, learned the address, and then sent a note to that man the day before New Year's Eve, inviting him to meet in the village. The man suspected nothing and came over that very day."
"Seeing that the man had truly come, Chen Weiping used his old trick again: he had a village child secretly deliver a message to Ding Zhiqing, then played the oriole waiting behind the green tree by finding Xiao Fu. He also said some this-and-that, making Xiao Fu burn with rage so that he went up and dealt a fatal blow."
"He beat that man badly. When Ding Zhiqing rushed up to try to stop him, it only enraged the man further. In a slip of the hand, the child in Ding Zhiqing's belly was lost. Moreover, I heard my grandpa say that Ding Zhiqing probably won't be able to bear children again."
Liu Chuxue's face showed nothing, but her heart was blooming with joy: This was truly the way of Heaven; who does the heavens spare?
"I had originally planned to keep them around to play with slowly, but I didn't expect them to wipe each other out. Not only did the male and female leads of the book turn against each other, but the supporting characters also ended up half-dead early on. Without Xiao Fu, this unfortunate soul, it seems the original book's plot has already fallen apart."
"Thinking of the book's plot, now only the family that killed Chun Xiao remains to be dealt with. Naturally, since we've reached this point, that family must be arranged as well; the characters in the plot should all be present and accounted for, shouldn't they?"
"With this, she and the original owner are even, and from now on, she is Xiao Chuxue."
While she was lost in thought, Liu Zhiyuan reached out her hand in front of her: "Chuxue, what are you thinking about? You're so absorbed."
Liu Chuxue snapped back to reality: "I wasn't thinking of anything; I just feel quite satisfied."
"Thinking of the matter mentioned earlier: 'How did things turn out afterwards?'"
Liu Zhiyuan glanced outside again: "Ding Zhiqing is still at the township hospital. If not for the fear that her parents in the city would find out and cause trouble, even Liu Shangang Bo probably wouldn't want to manage it. He only gave an order, but in the end, it was the innocent Qu Aihua, Jianqiang's wife, who took on the care."
Liu Chuxue was somewhat surprised: "Could she agree to that?"
Liu Zhiyuan pouted: "How could she disagree? Ge Xiulan was in a rush to avenge her son that day and got hurt herself, and it was her leg, so naturally she couldn't go. Sister Aihua naturally didn't want to; they had already split the household. But they used filial piety to pressure the couple, and Liu Shangang Bo probably made some promise, so the couple agreed."
"However, a grown man like Liu Jianqiang couldn't go to care for his sister-in-law, so Sister Aihua had to take on this duty."
