The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Early in the morning, the sun couldn't wait to peek out.

With good weather and easy roads, Huang Yanqiu remembered what her husband had reminded her of and went back to the village to get rice.

This year's rice harvest was bountiful, and my parents-in-law dried, husked, and packed their share, telling them to come back to the village to pick it up when they had time.

Huang Yanqiu drove out the yellow minivan that hadn't been driven for a long time.

With the intention of earning some money for gas, he first drove to several busy bus stops in the county town, planning to pick up a few passengers before heading back.

A person got into the passenger seat.

Huang Yanqiu put down the thermos, turned her head and looked at it, raising her eyebrows in surprise.

Ouyang Yan smiled and nodded at her, then looked ahead.

Her hands were clasped tightly together, revealing that she was not at peace with herself.

Four more people boarded the bus one after another. Seeing that it was almost time, Huang Yanqiu did not wait any longer, closed the door, and set off for Shanghe Village.

An hour later, the four people in the back seat got off the bus one after another, leaving only Ouyang Yan as the passenger.

Huang Yanqiu then asked, "Are you going to Shanghe Village too?"

Ouyang Yan nodded. "Mm."

"Where are your children?" Huang Yanqiu asked.

"She's with her maternal grandmother."

"What are you doing back?"

"Take my things."

"Oh."

Silence fell inside the car, broken only by the dry smoke blowing through.

Huang Yanqiu drove directly to the Zhou family's house. Before Ouyang Yan got out of the car, she asked her if she was going back to the city today.

Huang Yanqiu was taken aback for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Shall I come pick you up in a bit?"

"Thank you." Ouyang Yan smiled at her, pushed open the half-closed door of the Zhou family's house, and went inside.

Soon, Guihua's surprised voice and Chunhua's sarcastic tone echoed from the courtyard.

Huang Yanqiu felt that she had probably lived in the city for too long and was finding it hard to tolerate such a jarring sound.

She turned the car around, couldn't help but curse under her breath, jumped out of the car, and rushed into the Zhou family's courtyard.

Chunfang and Guihua, who were stopping Ouyang Yan from packing her things, were both startled.

"Huang Yanqiu, what are you doing!" Guihua shouted, her voice trembling with fear.

Huang Yanqiu leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed and scoffed, "Are you two even women? You've been eating and using other people's things for years, haven't you? You've taken advantage of them enough, haven't you!"

"We're two families now. It's none of your business if they come to take their own things. If you interfere again, I'll beat you both to death!"

Having been a taxi company owner for three years, I've encountered all sorts of people, from the lowest to the highest ranks.
Huang Yanqiu now exudes a thuggish air; when she says she's going to kill someone, she's not joking at all.

Guihua and Chunfang exchanged a glance, glared at Ouyang Yan, and then released the radio and the only 12-inch black and white television in the house that they were holding tightly.

"When did you two become so close?"

Chunfang glanced at Huang Yanqiu, who looked like a bandit at the door, and asked Ouyang Yan in an annoyed tone.

Ouyang Yan nodded gratefully to Huang Yanqiu without replying, and simply quickened her pace in packing her things.

My daughter's toys and clothes, her own clothes, and the small appliances she brought from her parents' house over the past two years.

The spring sofa in the main room was also returned by her family; one person couldn't move it, so they got it for free.

Except for things she couldn't move, Ouyang Yan moved all the other things she had brought with her to Huang Yanqiu's car.

Not even a small stool was spared!

The entire rear compartment was packed full.

Meeting Huang Yanqiu's surprised gaze, Ouyang Yan said apologetically, "I'll give you more money."

One thing at a time, Huang Yanqiu didn't mince words with her, "Sixty for a one-way chartered car." "Okay," Ouyang Yan readily agreed.

After checking again to make sure nothing was missed, Ouyang Yan said to Huang Yanqiu, "Okay, let's go."

Huang Yanqiu tilted her head to signal her to get in the car, then glanced at Chunfang and the other woman before driving to her in-laws' house.

They took the rice and went straight back to the county town without lingering.

Chunfang and Guihua were so angry that their lungs ached when they saw the suddenly empty courtyard.

Strangely enough, before Ouyang Yan married into the family, the house was empty and there was nothing wrong with it.

Why can't I stand it now? It feels like a big chunk of my heart has been ripped out.

Chunfang's insults were so vile that within an afternoon, the whole village knew that Zhou Zhenghua's wife in the city didn't want him anymore and had even emptied the Zhou family's house.

Guihua said nothing, but let Chunfang spread the word everywhere.

Since she's now raising someone else's daughter, and Zhou Laoda can't have children, and she can't borrow sperm from someone else, the only solution is to adopt the second son's daughter.

Fortunately, they now have a son and don't care about daughters anymore.

However, Chunfang didn't care, but Guihua did. The couple doted on their niece like the apple of their eye, thinking that they would rely on this girl for the rest of their lives, and dared not offend Chunfang and her husband.

Ouyang Yan told Huang Yanqiu everything about the Zhou family on the way.

Huang Yanqiu wouldn't let go of such a great opportunity for gossip, and immediately asked Ouyang Yan if she had really broken up with Hao Huaping.

Ouyang Yan gave a cold snort and recounted all the things Hao Huaping had done to interfere in her family's affairs over the past few years.

Perhaps because these things couldn't be discussed with outsiders or even with her mother, Huang Yanqiu became Ouyang Yan's outlet for venting.

Anyway, Huang Yanqiu knew all about her family's background, so she wasn't afraid of being laughed at by her.

Besides, it's not her who's shameful, but Zhou Zhenghua and Hao Huaping, that despicable couple!

Ouyang Yan's words were filled with deep resentment and hatred.

When she got to the exciting parts, Huang Yanqiu thought she was going to grab a knife and kill Zhou Zhenghua and his mother.

Fortunately, after venting, she finally returned to normal.

"I'm sorry to have forced you to listen to so much of my ramblings." Ouyang Yan resumed her polite smile.

Huang Yanqiu glanced at her quickly, "You got a divorce so easily, I thought you weren't angry at all."

Ouyang Yan gave an awkward smile. "How could there not be?"

But she doesn't hate herself the way she is now.

This is her motivation. She wants to hold her breath and see that Zhou Zhenghua will never be able to turn his life around and will only get worse and worse!
"You've changed a lot," Huang Yanqiu exclaimed.

Ouyang Yan gave a wry smile. "I don't know if you've ever had that feeling, where at a certain moment, your mind suddenly becomes clear, and you realize that you've been living a muddled life before."

"I suspect my brain is only just maturing."

Huang Yanqiu said with a laugh, "This shows that you are constantly growing."

"By the way, you wrote the whistleblower letter, didn't you?"

Ouyang Yan looked over in surprise, "How did you know?!"

"It was obvious."

Ouyang Yan was speechless. Indeed, who else but her would do such a thing?

Huang Yanqiu asked her, "Do you know that Hao Huaping is the vice mayor's daughter? Your letter of complaint probably won't cause her any real harm. At most, it will cause her to lose her reputation at school for a few months, but soon everyone will probably forget about it."

"What did you say?" Ouyang Yan interrupted Huang Yanqiu excitedly, asking in surprise, "Whose daughter is she?"

Huang Yanqiu: "The deputy mayor's daughter, didn't you know?"

Ouyang Yan only found out now!

In an instant, countless details flooded her mind, and she suddenly realized, no wonder, no wonder!
It turns out that Zhong Yunxiu already knew Hao Huaping's identity, which is why she was so eager to force her to divorce her son. (End of Chapter)
