Chapter 25 Something happened!
Bao Shanyan frowned, seemingly pondering the truthfulness of Gu Jianing's words.

Gu Jianing knew that her words weren't very reliable, but she was certain that Bao Shanyan would be moved.

Sure enough, the next second, Bao Shanyan asked, "How are you going to help me?"

A sly glint flashed in Gu Jianing's eyes. She took a step closer and whispered the plan.

Seeing that Bao Shanyan looked sullen after hearing this, seemingly not in agreement, Gu Jianing said, "If we're going to follow the normal marriage procedure, you should know that Wen Zhuqing can't marry you."

"Therefore, we have no choice but to resort to extraordinary measures."

"However, I think the process is not important; the result is the most important."

"Once you're married, and the person is in your home, you're the one who calls the shots."

Seeing Bao Shanyan's furrowed brows relax, Gu Jianing knew that she had touched a nerve with her.

However, Bao Shanyan did not agree immediately.

"Okay, I'll give you a day to think it over. Give me your answer by this time tomorrow."

Gu Jianing wasn't in a hurry for Bao Shanyan's reply, but she added a sense of urgency, "Of course, if you refuse, I'll find someone else to cooperate with."

After saying that, Gu Jianing turned and left.

She didn't turn around and kept walking forward, but she could feel Bao Shanyan's gaze fixed on her.

The intense gaze only disappeared when she turned the corner.

Gu Jianing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She thought that Bao Shanyan would most likely agree.

Because, having been reborn, she knew that Bao Shanyan's affection for Wen Zhuqing was a fanatical, even somewhat perverse, liking for someone like Wen Zhuqing.

However, in her previous life, Bao Shanyan was deterred from harming Wen Zhuqing, whom she had fallen for, because of the Gu family's influence in Huaihua Village.

After that, it became even more impossible for her to marry Wen Zhuqing.

but……

Bao Shanyan, settling for second best, targeted someone else.

In other words, that person was essentially a substitute for Wen Zhuqing in Bao Shanyan's eyes.

As Gu Jianing walked past the educated youth settlement, she happened to see a slender, handsome young male educated youth carrying a bundle of firewood as he walked in.

When he saw Gu Jianing, he nodded and gave a shy, polite smile.

Gu Jianing nodded, watching his retreating figure.

This young educated youth, seventeen years old this year, is named Lu Weixian.

In his previous life, not long after he married Wen Zhuqing, Lu Weixian somehow ended up marrying Bao Shanyan and even became an adopted son-in-law of the Bao family.

Lu Weixian was sent to Huaihua Village at the age of 15, and two years have passed since then.

It is said that after he went to the countryside, he kept reading books, always feeling that the college entrance examination would be reinstated and he wanted to work hard to get into university and return to the city.

Therefore, no one expected that he would marry Bao Shanyan, and even marry into her family.

What was the fate of Lu Weixian in his previous life?

He's dead...

He died shortly after the resumption of the college entrance examination; he was discovered to have died unexpectedly on the mountain.

It wasn't until much later that everyone learned that Lu Weixian had actually been killed by Bao Shanyan.

The Bao family has a history of bipolar disorder, making them prone to losing their temper and becoming violent when their condition flares up.

During the years of his marriage to Bao Shanyan, Lu Weixian was subjected to domestic violence by Bao Shanyan and her mother, Bao Yingzi.

Lu Weixian tried to resist, but he was no match for the fists of the Bao mother and daughter. He couldn't even find anyone to stand up for him.

The last time, because Lu Weixian expressed his desire to take the college entrance examination, Bao Shanyan was afraid that Lu Weixian would get into university and become out of control. In a fit of rage, Bao Shanyan lost control and beat Lu Weixian to death.

Fearing discovery, they carried the deceased Lu Weixian to the mountains and disguised it as an accident.

As for Lu Weixian, the reason he was sent to the countryside was because he was a pitiful kid who wasn't well-liked at home, so he went to the countryside in place of his older brother.

No one cares whether he goes back to the city or how he's doing.

Even when Lu Weixian died in the countryside, not a single member of the Lu family came to pay their respects.

Therefore, Lu Weixian's death was initially ruled an accident, until many years later when Bao Shanyan was arrested for committing another crime, at which point the truth was revealed.

The reason why Lu Weixian married into Bao Shanyan's family was also due to the latter's design.

Gu Jianing thought, Wen Zhuqing and Bao Shanyan are both scumbags.

If these two scumbags can get together, it's a way to resolve things internally and prevent them from harming others.

She was eager to see whether Wen Zhuqing would be beaten up by Bao Shanyan, or whether Bao Shanyan would be fooled by the cunning and hypocritical Wen Zhuqing.

Actually, Gu Jianing was conflicted before approaching Bao Shanyan today.

Although Wen Zhuqing was a complete scumbag for what he did to her and her family in her past life, in this life, none of that has happened yet.

Should she strike at Wen Zhuqing before anything even happens?
What if Wen Zhuqing in this life is different from the one in the previous life?

Gu Jianing wasn't being soft-hearted towards Wen Zhuqing, but ultimately had an extra layer of concerns.

But soon, something happened that made Gu Jianing no longer have any worries.

On the afternoon of the same day she finished looking for Bao Shanyan, her mother, Yao Chunhua, suddenly rushed home from outside.

At that moment, Gu Jianing had just finished acupuncture for her sister-in-law Yang Manman and had just come out of her sister-in-law's room when her mother grabbed her hand.

Yao Chunhua looked flustered and anxious, her brows furrowed with worry, and even her hands were trembling slightly. "Daughter, what should I do? Something's happened! Something's happened to the pigs I raised!"

Gu Jianing quickly stepped forward and patted her mother's back. "Mom, don't worry, catch your breath first, and tell me slowly, what happened to those pigs?"

Yao Chunhua took a breath, then grabbed her daughter's hand and recounted what had happened.

Huaihua Village has a small pig farm that raises about 10 pigs every year. Of course, these days, it doesn't belong to individuals, but to the Huaihua Village collective. At the end of each year, half of the pigs are handed over to the commune, and the other half are slaughtered or sold to give money to the villagers.

To be honest, raising pigs on a pig farm isn't considered heavy work. You can grow 10 centimeters every day, and you can get a few extra kilograms of pork when you slaughter the pigs at the end of the year.

That is, because Old Man Gu was the village chief, Yao Chunhua, as his wife, was able to get this task.

All Yao Chunhua needs to do is gather pig feed and clean the pigsty every day. The work isn't too tiring, and when she has free time, she can go home to cook or rest.

Back then, countless people envied Yao Chunhua's job of raising pigs.

Yao Chunhua has been working at the pig farm for three years. At first, some villagers had objections to her taking the job, but as the pigs grew plump and healthy by the end of the year, no one could find anything to complain about.

For the past three years, Yao Chunhua has been well cared for and there have been no accidents.

But today...

As soon as Yao Chunhua arrived at the pigsty, she noticed that something was wrong with the nine pigs inside.

The pigs were listless and not very lively. At first, Yao Chunhua thought they were hungry, so she quickly cut pig feed for them.

As a result, these pigs, who usually scramble to eat the pig feed, suddenly stopped eating it!

Some people managed to eat a few bites, but then vomited it all up.

If it were just that, Yao Chunhua wouldn't panic.
