Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

After finishing breakfast, because there wasn't much salt left at home, Li Xiulan had Wang Zhanggen go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy some coarse salt grains.

Wang Zhanggen went to the village entrance Supply and Marketing Cooperative in a gloomy mood.

Arriving at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, he discovered quite a few villagers gathered around the propaganda bulletin board at the village entrance, everyone looking at a notice posted on it, pointing and discussing animatedly.

Wang Zhanggen was very curious what notice had been posted, so he also walked over to take a look.

"Fellow villagers, what are you looking at?"

As Wang Zhanggen walked over, the villagers surrounding the bulletin board all turned back to look at him with strange eyes.

The sound of discussion also came to an abrupt halt.

No one spoke much anymore.

Wang Zhanggen didn't understand why, feeling it was inexplicable.

When he fixed his eyes to look closely at the bulletin board, he then understood what was going on.

It turned out what was posted on the bulletin board wasn't some notice at all!

Rather, it was a declaration personally signed and fingerprinted by his wife, the declaration clearly stating that it was his wife Li Xiulan who took the initiative to seduce Yang Dafu!

Wang Zhanggen immediately trembled all over, as if struck by five thunderbolts!

Only now did he understand why everyone would look at him with strange eyes.

It turned out they were looking at the green hat on his head!

"Who the fuck posted this notice randomly!"

Wang Zhanggen was furious, viciously tearing the declaration off the bulletin board and shredding it to pieces.

The villagers cast sympathetic glances at Wang Zhanggen, starting to chatter:

"Changgen, this was posted by the Village Committee, and it even has the Police Station's official seal on it."

"This is probably real."

"Changgen, take it easy, don't ruin your health with anger."

It turned out, after Yang Dafu got Li Xiulan's declaration, the first thing he did upon returning to the village was hand it to Village Committee Secretary Liang Yuanchao, asking Liang Yuanchao to help post it on the village entrance bulletin board.

Yang Dafu's action, while not illegal, was very immoral.

This declaration posted on the village entrance bulletin board brought nothing short of a devastating disaster to the couple Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan.

Wang Zhanggen picked up one of the small scraps of the declaration he had just shredded, examined it carefully, and sure enough it bore the official seal of the Town Police Station!

This is real!

Wang Zhanggen was as if struck by five thunderbolts!

His head buzzed, his body involuntarily swaying.

If not for a villager beside him supporting him, he might have directly collapsed on the ground.

Only now did Wang Zhanggen suddenly realize why that gambling ghost He Dashu had smiled at him this morning saying the whole village was talking about how his wife's vegetable plot had been plowed by Yang Dafu several times — it turned out the notice had been posted all the way at the village entrance bulletin board!

Villagers began to feel it wasn't worth it for Wang Zhanggen:

"Changgen, that slutty wife of yours went too far, pregnant yet still going to seduce Yang Dafu, simply promiscuous, not worth you treating her so well, if you ask me, you might as well divorce her!"

Wang Zhanggen immediately rebuked angrily:

"Don't talk nonsense! My wife isn't that kind of person!"

That villager stopped speaking, just looking at Wang Zhanggen with eyes full of sympathy.

Although Wang Zhanggen verbally defended his wife, under the villagers' strange gazes, he felt spiritually as if subjected to death by a thousand cuts, and his heart also began to waver.

Could it really be that Li Xiulan went to seduce Yang Dafu?

If not, then why did she sign this declaration?

And not long ago Liao Chunhua even called him to complain that his wife seduced He Dazhu!

Could it be that this wife who seems so virtuous and gentle actually has another side he doesn't know about, transforming into a promiscuous Pan Jinlian of Mountain Gully Village during the times he left home to work elsewhere?

Wang Zhanggen's heart was in chaos, losing his most basic judgment, many chaotic thoughts surging up.

Making him not even have the mind to buy salt, turning around and sprinting madly toward home.

He wanted to personally go ask Li Xiulan, to have Li Xiulan explain this matter clearly!

However, what Wang Zhanggen didn't expect was, before he could run home, only halfway there, he ran into Yang Dafu.

Yang Dafu's injuries had already healed seven or eight parts, but the scars left behind could never be removed.

Seeing Wang Zhanggen's towering rage, he immediately revealed a trace of fear, thinking Wang Zhanggen had specially come to intercept him halfway.

"Wang Zhanggen, let's talk nicely, don't act rashly!"

Before Wang Zhanggen could speak, Yang Dafu spoke this line first.

Wang Zhanggen originally didn't want to pay attention to Yang Dafu, but since Yang Dafu opened his mouth now, he instead wanted to ask Yang Dafu a few questions.

"That declaration on the village entrance bulletin board, what exactly is going on?"

Wang Zhanggen furiously grabbed Yang Dafu's collar, questioning him with a ferocious appearance.

"You should know better than me what's going on. Not only does it have your wife's personal signature, but also the Police Station's official seal. If you don't believe it, you can go ask the Town Police Station if that seal was stamped by them!"

Yang Dafu's eyeballs rolled, speaking this sentence that seemed innocent but was actually vicious.

Every sentence he said was true, but put together they had extremely strong deceptiveness.

Wang Zhanggen's face twisted in pain, he found it difficult to accept this fact:

"You're lying! It's clearly you who tried to rape my wife and failed — how could it be her seducing you!"

Yang Dafu said tremulously:

"I'm still saying the same thing — your wife didn't just seduce me, she also seduced He Dazhu. Liao Chunhua even called you to complain about it, and this isn't something you don't know!

Who knows how many other men in the village she's seduced too. You're barely home a few days all year — how would you know what kind of person she is?"

Wang Zhanggen was left speechless, only a face full of anguish remaining.

Indeed, he worked away from home year-round, returning only two or three times a year, each stay lasting just three to five days!

People's hearts change. With him and his wife separated more than together, how could he know whether his wife had changed?

"Don't come beat me again. I admit I couldn't resist your wife's seduction, and I was wrong too. But the primary responsibility lies with your wife — you agree, don't you? She's so beautiful, and she took the initiative to seduce me. How could I withstand the temptation? Now I've already received the punishment I deserved. Not only did you slash me several times and I nearly lost my life, I was also fired from my post as Women's Federation Director. Most fatal of all, my own wife divorced me. I've been unlucky enough — just let me go!"

Seeing Wang Zhanggen not speaking, Yang Dafu feigned a pitiful appearance again and spoke this whole string of words.

Finally Wang Zhanggen shoved Yang Dafu away viciously, then strode off toward home with endless fury.

After this series of events, he became even more convinced his wife had a problem.

But he didn't know that, watching his angry retreating figure, the corner of Yang Dafu's mouth curled into a petty villain's triumphant sneer.

The reason Yang Dafu had Village Committee Secretary Liang Yuanchao help post that statement on the bulletin board was precisely to achieve this very effect.

Poor Wang Zhanggen — he still didn't know he had already fallen into the villain's trap.
