Chapter 116: She ran wildly in the rain
The forged report on the melon-eating system was quietly delivered to the Education Bureau, which clearly stated the time and place where Zhao Yaqing accepted the bribes, in such detail that there's nothing that could not be more detailed than this.
When Jiang Youtao came back from self-study, Gu Nianwei made her a midnight snack: a bowl of hot noodles with a poached egg and a handful of tender green vegetables, with chopped green onions floating on top.
Xu Manqiu came with Jiang Youtao. After having supper, Xu Manqiu and Jiang Youtao went to her dormitory to live together.
They have all become accustomed to this way of getting along. Gu Nianwei is of course very nice to Xu Manqiu, but in terms of accommodation, she is still used to living with Jiang Youtao like she did the first time she went to Gu Nianwei's dormitory.
Xu Manqiu had just talked about some of the problems she encountered at school at the dinner table. When they arrived at Jiang Youtao's place, they washed up and went to bed. Xu Manqiu lived in the second bedroom. Her bedding had all been washed by Gu Nianwei and had a faint scent of lotus leaves. Xu Manqiu rubbed herself on the soft quilt, closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
When Jiang Youtao finished washing up and went to bed, Zhao Yaqing next door also fell asleep.
She was dreaming again, and she dreamed of what happened more than four years ago.
After she told others about Qiu Fang's situation, Zhao Yaqing was also in great pain. She had nightmares for a long time. She also regretted doing something that would ruin someone's life.
While she regretted it, she also blamed Qiu Fang for not learning well at such a young age and learning to seduce men before her hair fully grown. She hated this kind of woman the most in her life.
After a long time, Zhao Yaqing forgot about Qiu Fang.
It was four years since she dreamed of Qiu Fang again, but Zhao Yaqing was not panicked.
But this time the method of dreaming was different. She became Qiu Fang, who was looking at the 'Teacher Zhao' in front of her with full expectation. She hoped that this 'Teacher Zhao' would find a way for her and tell her what to do. She trusted this 'Teacher Zhao' so much.
Unfortunately, she was disappointed, because the man of this 'Teacher Zhao' looked at her more, and also because her sister was the control group of this 'Teacher Zhao', this 'Teacher Zhao' opened her lips slightly and said words that were heartbreaking.
The scene changed, and she dreamed that she was pregnant and was forced to get married by her family, because that was the time when the word "discipline" was taken most seriously. If it was not handled properly, it might endanger her family.
She was forced to marry a man in his late thirties, a rapist who had raped her, and from then on, her life fell into dire straits.
Being beaten and scolded was commonplace. Even when she was pregnant, she was forced to endure the venting of anger from a middle-aged man.
She gave birth to children one by one, and at the end of the dream, she was sold by the man she married, the so-called "husband". This time, she was sold to an old bachelor, and she became a tool for giving birth to children again, until she was old, and the dream ended.
Zhao Yaqing suddenly sat up from the bed. There was a thunder outside and it started to rain.
Zhao Yaqing was startled and the lightning made her face pale.
Liu Shiyong was awakened by her startling noise. He happened to see this scene and was shocked: "Why are you scaring people in the middle of the night?"
Zhao Yaqing threw herself into Liu Shiyong's arms, and Liu Shiyong subconsciously pushed her away: "If you don't sleep, I will sleep, don't be a bitch and bother me."
Liu Shiyong turned over and continued to sleep.
But Zhao Yaqing couldn't fall asleep. She leaned against the head of the kang, thinking about Qiu Fang's matter. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
The dream was so real that she thought she was really Qiu Fang and was experiencing Qiu Fang's life.
She couldn't help but think of the sudden beginning. After changing the angle, she saw her ugly face. She reached out and touched her face.
The more Zhao Yaqing thought about it, the more she couldn't fall asleep. Liu Shiyong's snoring became louder.
There were thunders outside one after another. Zhao Yaqing felt guilty about doing something wrong and was afraid. She lay on the kang and hugged Liu Shiyong from behind. Liu Shiyong turned over and avoided her.
Zhao Yaqing felt extremely uncomfortable, and her discomfort immediately eliminated her fear of the dream she had just had.
She didn't sleep all night.
After following Jiang Youtao's instructions and applying the nightmare spell to Zhao Yaqing, the melon-eating system has been closely following Zhao Yaqing's situation.
Seeing this scene, the melon-eating system was speechless.
It didn't know what love brain was before, but after seeing Zhao Yaqing, the melon-eating system knew it. She felt that with Zhao Yaqing's love for Liu Shiyong, even if Liu Shiyong stabbed her parents today, she could generously forgive Liu Shiyong.
The next day was the weekend. After finishing the last class in the morning, Jiang Youtao went to the small courtyard in the west of the city wearing a sweater and a thick coat.
Qiu Fang still lives here. Zheng Zilong has taken money from Liu Shiyong. Before she gives birth to a child for Liu Shiyong and gets the second payment, if she goes back, she will be sold to someone else by Zheng Zilong.
The rent that Liu Shiyong paid here will be due in half a month. During this half month, she has to find a way out for herself.
She was having breakfast when Jiang Youtao knocked on the door. She came to open the door in the rain, and the smile on her face only appeared when she was almost at the yard gate.
"Yong..." She swallowed the words he hadn't finished saying when she saw the young woman holding an umbrella, and the smile on her face fell.
"Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for you, Qiu Fang." Jiang Youtao did not tell Gu Nianwei about Qiu Fang's affairs. She had been thinking about it for a long time from last night until now. She decided to come to Qiu Fang in person. She hoped that Qiu Fang would know.
In life, there are actually many choices.
She was willing to poison Zheng Zilong to death, and she was also willing to use herself to avenge Zhao Yaqing. She might not be afraid to uncover her scars and fight for herself.
Jiang Youtao understood her desire to take revenge on Zhao Yaqing. She did not comment on whether her method was right or wrong. She just felt that she had sacrificed herself in order to take revenge on Zhao Yaqing, which was not worth it.
Men like Liu Shiyong are as disgusting as a one-dollar coin dropped into a toilet.
"I know what you've been through. I don't mean to blame you or lecture you. I just want to tell you that the country takes women's safety very seriously. In your situation, you can go to the Women's Federation for help."
"Zhao Yaqing's mistakes are not worth your own revenge. The evidence of her crimes has been handed over to the Education Bureau. She will be punished after a while."
Jiang Youtao didn't give Qiu Fang a chance to speak. She stuffed a newspaper into Qiu Fang's arms. It was an article published by Director Li in the Capital Daily.
"You should read this article carefully." Jiang Youtao said, turned around and left.
Qiu Fang looked at her receding back, her eyes fixed on the newspaper in her hand.
She read it over and over again, confirming the words "Yangping County Women's Federation" over and over again.
Suddenly, tears flowed like rain and she couldn't speak. Regardless of the heavy rain outside, she ran towards the direction of the township government. The rain gradually stopped and a rainbow hung high in the sky.
Qiu Fang wiped her tears and walked into the Women's Federation office.
If one can live an upright life like a human being, who would want to linger on living in mud?
