Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 158 This punch caused Wen Zhuqing to cry out in pain.

A while ago, Gu Jianing called her family to share the good news that Sheng Zexi had been promoted to regimental-level cadre, so the Gu family knew about it.

At this moment, as soon as Gu Yunzhou brought Sheng Zexi out, he immediately intimidated those people.

The villagers also chimed in.

"Back then, Officer Sheng personally came to propose marriage and gave a lot of betrothal gifts, which shows that he valued the marriage between Ningning and the Gu family very much."

"Yes, if he knew the Gu family was being treated like this, he would be furious."

"A regimental-level cadre? That must be a very high-ranking official."

The people in the group hesitated, and as they looked hesitant, the leader stepped forward.

"But we also received an anonymous tip, and we still have to follow the proper procedures."

At this moment, Old Man Gu stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, we understand your difficulties and are willing to cooperate. We can go through the process, but please be gentle during the search."

In fact, Old Man Gu knew that once these people arrived, it would be unlikely that they would leave.

But Old Man Gu also knew, and had even seen, what these people were like when they searched—it was like a locust swarm or a bandit swarm.

He didn't want his perfectly good home to be turned into a mess.

The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Old Man Gu had agreed.

"Okay, that's settled then."

So, after Old Man Gu agreed and the Gu family made way for them, they immediately went inside to search.

At this moment, the villagers stepped forward one after another.

"Village chief, how could you let them in?"

"I don't know which scoundrel dared to harm you, village chief. They are truly heartless."

"We shouldn't have let them in. What if they find something..."

At this moment, Old Man Gu stepped forward and said to everyone, "Fellow villagers, everyone knows who I, Gu Chunsheng, am. I have a clear conscience." As he spoke, he walked towards his home, and the rest of the Gu family followed him.

Old Man Gu was open and honest, but the villagers still wondered if this really happened, then he had been framed.

However, no one said anything more and they all followed inside to see the results of the search.

Wen Zhuqing was also hidden in the crowd. Listening to Old Man Gu's words, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, full of sarcasm.

His eyes searched ahead and soon found Yang Manman's figure.

He held the packet of medicine in his hand and slowly walked forward.

Yang Manman followed her family inside, anxiously awaiting the results.

Although her family had anticipated this last night and knew there wouldn't be any problems, Yang Manman still couldn't help but feel nervous and uneasy in the face of this situation.

Just then, someone behind her seemed to be in a hurry to step forward and bumped into Yang Manman.

The impact wasn't very strong, but Yang Manman was caught off guard and still fell to the side.

"Manman!" A cry of surprise rang out, and Gu Yunting, who had been standing beside her, immediately helped Yang Manman up.

"Manman, are you alright?" Gu Yunting asked anxiously.

Yang Manman was startled, but thankfully, she was caught in time. When she looked up and saw that it was her husband, she felt relieved.

She knew that A-Ting had been by her side all morning.

"I'm okay."

After confirming that his wife was alright, Gu Yunting turned his anger on the person who hit her.

He stepped forward and shoved Wen Zhuqing to the ground, angrily asking, "Wen Zhiqing, why did you hit Manman? Did you do it on purpose? She's pregnant. Are you trying to kill her?"

Wen Zhuqing, who was pushed to the ground, was somewhat dazed.

He felt that his buttocks, which had been bruised when Liu Yuan pushed him down earlier, hadn't fully healed yet, and now he'd been bumped again, causing him excruciating pain. Before he could react, Gu Yunting grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up halfway, then a fist landed on his cheek.

Gu Yunting punched him squarely.

This punch caused Wen Zhuqing to cry out in pain.

At this moment, the people around also realized what was happening and rushed forward to stop them.

Bao Shanyan also stepped forward to stop him, saying, "What are you doing? Why are you hitting people?"

Although Bao Shanyan didn't know when Wen Zhuqing had run out, she also came to watch the excitement.

But Wen Zhuqing is her husband after all. Anyone else can hit him, otherwise it would be disrespecting Bao Shanyan.

Gu Yunting snorted coldly, "You should ask him properly what he did. Manman is pregnant, yet he deliberately bumped into her. What if Manman fell and something happened to her and the baby in her womb? Did Wen Zhuqing intend to murder Manman and the baby in her womb?"

"I saw it. It was indeed Wen Zhiqing who bumped into Manman just now."

"Yes, Manman almost fell."

"Oh dear, Manman's belly is so big, it would be dangerous if she fell."

Some people witnessed what just happened, and now they are all standing up to speak up for Gu Yunting.

Any man would be angry if his pregnant wife was almost hit by a car and put in danger.

It was only a light beating of Wen Zhuqing.

Bao Shanyan glared angrily at Wen Zhuqing.

Wen Zhuqing realized that not many people had seen it, so he could only say with a heavy heart, "I didn't mean to, it was an accident."

Bao Shanyan immediately said, "Yes, he did it by accident."

Gu Yunting snorted, "Just because he says it wasn't intentional doesn't mean it wasn't intentional. Luckily, Manman is alright, or I would have beaten him to death."

After saying that, Gu Yunting escorted Yang Manman to a less crowded area.

Others also rushed forward to see the results of the search.

Bao Shanyan kicked Wen Zhuqing in the buttocks. "Get up now! You're embarrassing yourself. Who told you to come out?"

Wen Zhuqing let out a soft cry, followed by another muffled pain.

Bao Shanyan kicked him right where he was injured, and she was strong; her kick was no joke.

Wen Zhuqing is now suffering from double injuries and double pain.

Fortunately, a male educated youth at the settlement saw this and helped him up.

As for the female educated youth, Liu Juan and others dared not do it.

If they had feelings for Wen Zhuqing before, now that he is married, and his wife is Bao Shanyan, who is like a bandit, even somewhat crazy, and very strong, they dare not confront her.

Therefore, he had long since given up on his feelings for Wen Zhuqing.

Although Wen Zhiqing was beautiful, they still needed to be alive to see her.

"Useless things."

After being helped up, Wen Zhuqing was scolded by Bao Shanyan again, but the latter ignored him and pushed her way through the crowd to see what was happening.

Wen Zhuqing watched Bao Shanyan's retreating figure, her peripheral vision then falling on Gu Yunting and Yang Manman in a corner, a shadow of gloom and ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.

Soon, soon.

If those people find any prohibited books, he'll see how arrogant the Gu family can be then.

He looked forward to seeing their fearful and apprehensive expressions.

And then there's Yang Manman...

Wen Zhuqing stuffed the empty paper into her pocket.
