Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Zhou Hongwei gave Liu Xiaoli Wang Changgen's current phone number.

Liu Xiaoli dialed it immediately.

"Hello, who is this?"

The phone rang for a while before it was picked up, and Wang Changgen's voice came from the other end.

To Liu Xiaoli, that voice was both familiar and strange.

Thinking back to those days, she had followed Wang Changgen to Dongguan to work; if anyone said she didn't love Wang Changgen back then, that would be impossible.

It was just that at the time she saw Wang Changgen already had a family, felt that following him through life held no hope, and happened to meet Guo Zheng'an, this honest man, so she chose to hide it from Wang Changgen and got together with Guo Zheng'an.

These past events, right and wrong no longer mattered long ago.

They were merely a choice at a fork in life.

Back then Liu Xiaoli thought Guo Zheng'an was the better choice.

After all, Guo Zheng'an was honest, simple, hardworking, and capable.

What a pity, when Wang Changgen suddenly burst into Liu Xiaoli's home during Spring Festival, letting Guo Zheng'an discover Wang Changgen's existence, from that moment on everything changed, and Guo Zheng'an's attitude toward her also shifted.

In front of Wang Changgen, Guo Zheng'an naturally protected Liu Xiaoli, after all she was the woman he was about to marry.

But once Wang Changgen left, he turned ice-cold, interrogating Liu Xiaoli: who exactly was Wang Changgen, and what was their connection?

Liu Xiaoli knew she couldn't hide it, and knew that married life most needed honesty and trust.

So she confessed to Guo Zheng'an about her past with Wang Changgen.

Guo Zheng'an verbally chose to forgive at the time, but in his heart a knot had already taken root.

Back then he actually had no other way; after all, he had already come to Liu Xiaoli's home to visit, the marriage had already been agreed upon, the bride price had already been given, so naturally he couldn't go back on it at a time like this, otherwise the one losing face wouldn't just be Liu Xiaoli, but also him, Guo Zheng'an.

But after marriage, Guo Zheng'an's passion for Liu Xiaoli gradually dissipated, and he started picking faults with her, complaining about this and that; every time they quarreled he would drag up the past between Liu Xiaoli and Wang Changgen to stab at her.

Every time Liu Xiaoli was retorted into speechlessness, she could only swallow her shame and grievance in tears.

The cause she and Wang Changgen had planted back then finally bore bitter fruit.

And this bitter fruit was not limited to just quarreling.

Guo Zheng'an started hitting her, and even started seeing other women outside.

When Guo Zheng'an appeared before her swaggering with another woman, her heart finally turned dead ash; she bravely took that step and actively proposed divorce to Guo Zheng'an.

She thought life after divorce would climb out of the mud pit.

But she didn't know the next relationship would plunge her into yet another mud pit.

Because she was already older and had married twice, her later blind dates all ended in failure; she even lost confidence in herself, and finally chose to marry an older man she didn't love but whose attitude toward her was passable.

She thought this way she could live properly.

Unexpectedly, after several years together her belly showed no movement; a checkup revealed she had no possibility of pregnancy anymore, and that older man immediately changed face, furious and enraged.

"I fucking wasted so much time on you, and you can't even give me a child — wasn't I just jerking myself around? Divorce, must divorce!"

Liu Xiaoli could only weep silently; she knew this relationship had also reached its end.

This time it was her fault; she knew her infertility was caused by gynecological disease from her youth.

During that time in Dongguan, she hid from Wang Changgen and got together with Guo Zheng'an; after satisfying Wang Changgen's needs she secretly ran off to be intimate with Guo Zheng'an, plus she didn't pay attention to personal hygiene, causing her to contract gynecological disease.

And she didn't care much at the time, had no money to treat it, so she dragged it on and on until it became like this now — a woman who cannot bear children.

This was also a cause planted in her youth, bearing bitter fruit later.

And all this karma actually relates to Wang Changgen.

Liu Xiaoli often thinks: if back then she and Wang Changgen had no emotional entanglement, would she and Guo Zheng'an have been happy together?

Even if she hadn't met Guo Zheng'an, at least she wouldn't have gotten sick, would have kept her fertility, and no matter who she married later she could still have children; life wouldn't have fallen to such a wretched state.

Whenever she thinks of these things, the resentment in Liu Xiaoli's heart toward Wang Changgen accumulates a little more.

Day by day, month by month, to this day Liu Xiaoli's resentment toward Wang Changgen has reached a critical point.

Especially now that her life is going badly, Wang Changgen actually specifically instructed Zhou Hongwei not to let her do the small worker job.

Wang Changgen is trying to cut off even her last way to survive!

"It's me, Liu Xiaoli."

Liu Xiaoli was silent for a while, then answered Wang Changgen with a trembling, gloomy voice.

"Liu Xiaoli? How did you get this number of mine?"

Wang Changgen couldn't help but be stunned; his phone card had been changed several times long ago, he never expected Liu Xiaoli could still find his contact information.

"Wang Changgen, I really need this job right now; without this job I can't survive, I'll starve to death, do you understand?"

Liu Xiaoli didn't answer Wang Changgen's question, but suppressing the surging in her heart, with a trembling throat, she said this one sentence to Wang Changgen.

"What are you telling me this for?"

Wang Changgen acted very coldly, because he really didn't want to have more entanglements with Liu Xiaoli; ever since he came out of the Dongguan Zhangmutou shelter, he had given up on Liu Xiaoli.

"I'm not your boss, go tell your boss!"

Wang Changgen replied coldly.

Liu Xiaoli gritted her teeth:

"Don't play dumb; it was you who told Hongwei Ge not to take me. I'm telling you, Wang Changgen, if I lose this job I'll go raise hell at your house, raise hell in front of your wife, I'll let your family, even the whole village, know about those dirty things between you and me back then!"

"Liu Xiaoli, have you gone mad!"

Wang Zhanggen immediately lost his composure, suppressing his throat to scold one sentence.

Nervously looking up and around, he discovered Li Xiulan was not by his side, and only then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Li Xiulan found out about this matter, he wouldn't know how to face Li Xiulan.

"I'm crazy, but it's all you stinking men who drove me crazy!"

Liu Xiaoli threw caution to the wind.

She is now full of illness, living a very unhappy life, and has become an unreasonable shrew.

But this is not her fault; if blame is to be assigned, it can only be blamed on life being too merciless and fate too full of hardships.

"Don't get excited, isn't it just a Small Worker job? If you want to come, come; just don't mess things up for me."

In the end Wang Zhanggen was afraid and made a Compromise.

His heart was extremely depressed.

The more he feared something, the more it happened.

He had previously wanted Zhou Hongwei to fire Liu Xiaoli, precisely because he feared Liu Xiaoli would use old matters to Handle/manipulate him.

Who would have thought that now they haven't even officially started work, haven't even met yet, and Liu Xiaoli has already begun to Handle/manipulate him.
