Chapter 146: Expose

　　Lu Feizhang walked out of the alley and saw Jiang Youtao and the others. He nodded to them and left.

　　He was holding a piece of meat in his hand. He was going out to buy meat, but just as he entered the alley, he was blocked by Ning Lei.

　　During this period, Ning Lei always did these little tricks, overtly or covertly, and Lu Feizhang felt annoyed whenever he saw her.

　　He really hoped that this woman named Ning Lei would get married soon, otherwise he would not be able to bear it any longer.

　　Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei walked past the alley. Ning Lei didn't see them. She squatted with her head down, hugged her knees, and cried heartbreakingly.

　　The affair between Du Xun'an and Ning Lei was widely spread in the school. Some people even saw Ning Lei and Du Xun'an walking through the school woods. Even so, Ning Lei was still able to hook up with Lu Feizhang without telling Du Xun'an.

　　She have to say that Ning Lei is really smart and courageous.

　　Even Gu Nianwei admires her.

　　Ning Lei is too stupid, Jiang Youtao doesn't even want to talk to her anymore. Without the halo of the heroine in the plot, Ning's father, who dotes on her, has realized his mistake in time and stopped covering up for her. With her IQ, can she beat Du Xun'an?

　　Doesn't she love to forgive others? Then let her continue to forgive others in this life. With Du Xun'an's character, he will definitely cheat at that time. Ning Lei will have plenty of opportunities to show her generosity and kindness.

　　The book belonging to Ning Lei on the bookshelf has turned gray to the top, and it looks like it will be completely gray soon. Jiang Youtao thinks that when Ning Lei and Du Xun'an get married, they will be entangled with each other like in the first life, and this book will probably become completely gray as well.

　　There was someone selling roasted sweet potatoes at the entrance of the next alley. Surprisingly, the seller was a girl in her twenties. She was very pretty, with a small face the size of a palm, eyes like autumn water, and two small canine teeth when she smiled.

　　Jiang Youtao and her friends bought some roasted sweet potatoes and left. Behind them they heard the girl talking to someone else.

　　"Hey, Jiaobao'er, why did you come out? It's cold outside. Listen to your mother and go inside quickly. Grandma Yang is waiting for you."

　　"I was feeding Jiao Bao'er, and she insisted on coming out to look for you. So I brought her out. Don't worry, I dressed her warmly. By the way, Xiao Zhu, you haven't found your partner yet?"

　　"Not yet. I just heard that he is studying at a university in the capital. It is said to be the best university in the country. I am selling roasted sweet potatoes here. The people who come and go are all students. When the time comes, I will ask them to help find out about him. There will definitely be results."

　　The voices behind her became quieter and quieter. Jiang Youtao only heard the last words of the person called Grandma Yang: "This He Xunrao is really a piece of shit. He came here to study, but why did he take away all the money from home? Don't worry, girl. Just stay here with your aunt. You can pay the rent whenever you have money."

　　"Thank you, Aunt Yang."

　　Jiang Youtao and the others walked away, but she looked at Gu Nianwei and said, "Let's eat roasted sweet potatoes more often in the future. These sweet potatoes are quite delicious."

　　It is really delicious. The sweet potato skin falls off easily, and the sweet potato flesh inside is very sweet. Some honey juice seeps out of the skin.

　　In such a cold day, eating a roasted sweet potato while walking on the road tastes really great.

　　Gu Nianwei also heard their conversation. She had no objection and nodded.

　　When they returned to the dormitory, Fu Shaohua was already waiting for Jiang Youtao downstairs, holding a thermos bucket in his hand.

　　He went home again this morning. His mother stewed a pot of old hen soup and asked Fu Shaohua to bring some to Jiang Youtao.

　　Fu Shaohua brought the thermos bottle with him hidden in his clothes, and it was still warm.

　　"It will be cold soon, you go upstairs and eat first." Fu Shaohua urged Jiang Youtao.

　　Jiang Youtao still had half of a sweet potato in her hand, and she stuffed it directly into Fu Shaohua's hand: "Okay, then I'll go upstairs first, and I'll wait for you at the door of the men's dormitory later. Let's go to the evening self-study together."

　　"Okay." Fu Shaohua took the sweet potato and started eating it without any disgust.

　　Jiang Youtao took the thermos upstairs. Everyone in the dormitory was there except Zhang Linxi. There was a lot of chicken and chicken soup in the thermos, and it was obviously not enough for Jiang Youtao to finish alone. She shared the chicken with the people in the dormitory.

　　He Shuangxi was also in the dormitory today, which was rare. One of her classmates was admitted to Capital University, and her dormitory was on the third floor. She disliked Zhang Linxi for being too pretentious, so she moved in with her classmate, carrying her quilt.

　　Jiang Youtao thought that she and her classmates had not expected the capital to be so cold. Their blankets were thin, and although the school had a boiler, it was obviously not very warm. Especially in the second half of the night, when the boiler room stopped burning, it was even colder.

　　It would be warmer if she went to live with her classmates.

　　Normally she seldom came back to the dormitory, and now that Zhang Linxi was not there, she stayed a little longer.

　　After eating the chicken, He Shuangxi went to find her classmates. After a while, she came back with a small bag of walnuts and chestnuts.

　　Jiang Youtao went downstairs to the men's dormitory after washing the thermos bucket.

　　After saying something to the dormitory manager, she went up to the third floor and Fu Shaohua came down soon. With him came a man wearing glasses and looking gentle and refined.

　　Seeing Jiang Youtao, he patted Fu Shaohua on the shoulder and said, "I'm leaving first."

　　Fu Shaohua nodded: "Slow down."

　　The man waved his hand and walked away.

　　Fu Shaohua met Jiang Youtao's puzzled look and said, "He is a classmate in our class. His last name is He. Shall we go?"

　　Fu Shaohua took the bag from Jiang Youtao's shoulder, put his own book into her bag, then put it over his shoulder and followed Jiang Youtao to the library.

　　There were already many people sitting in the library, and the two of them skillfully went to their usual seats.

　　After opening the book, they each started reading without speaking.

　　In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Youtao was actually reading a book, but in front of her was a watermelon system display screen that was shrunk to the size of a mobile phone screen. What she was watching now was the real-time broadcast of Zhang Linxi being taken away.

　　The guesthouse run by Zhang Ziqiang's family was near the school. After entering the house, Zhang Ziqiang locked the door. Zhang Linnan took a small stool and sat by the door.

　　When Zhang Linxi saw this situation, she felt her heart tighten.

　　Lin Shufeng looked at Zhang Linxi for a long while before she said, "You are not my Xiaoxi. Who are you? Where is my Xiaoxi?"

　　She raised her daughter Xiaoxi by herself. When it comes to familiarity with Zhang Linxi, no one is more familiar than her as a mother.

　　Although Zhang Linxi was occupying Zhang Linxi's body, her movements and expressions were nothing like Zhang Linxi's.

　　Zhang Linxi's face turned pale. She looked left and right, "Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand. If I'm not your daughter. Who am I?"

　　Zhang Linxi couldn't admit it, nor did she dare to admit it. How could people in the 1970s know what time travel and rebirth meant? She's afraid that in the eyes of these people, she's just a wandering ghost.

　　But she didn't want to travel through time. She lived well in the 21st century, but she traveled to the 1970s after sleeping. Who could she complain to?

　　Lin Shufeng shook her head: "You are not my daughter. My daughter is generous, self-respecting, and has her own ambitions. She will not marry a security chief who is ten years older than her, nor will she endure the many difficulties posed by her in-laws."

　　When Lin Shufeng talked about this, her eyes were filled with tears. Her niece had a very bad life after getting married, and no matter how much support her family gave her, it was useless. At that time, her daughter Xiaoxi said that she would either not get married in her life, or if she did, she would marry someone from a good family.

　　Moreover, Zhang Linxi knew her family was wronged when she went to the countryside. It was impossible for her to change her place of work after she went there, and it was even more impossible for her not to contact them once in all these years. They gave her the address of the relocation.

　　But Lin Shufeng also knew that the address where they were sent to was torn up by Zhang Linxi and thrown into the trash can on the train after she arrived.

　　Thinking about how much her daughter's body had suffered over the years, Lin Shufeng's heart ached.

　　When Zhang Linxi heard Lin Shufeng's undisguised distrust in her, her heart felt like it was soaked in sour water, bitter and astringent.

　　She looked at Zhang Ziqiang and Zhang Linnan. Zhang Linnan's face, which looked 70% like her, was full of indifference, while Zhang Ziqiang's eyes were ruthless when he looked at her.

　　It was as if if she was not using Zhang Linxi's body now, he would eat her alive.

　　Zhang Linxi also realized that no matter how much she pretended, she was different from Zhang Linxi.

　　How could they be the same? One was a child disliked by her parents, and the other was a child who grew up being loved by her parents. Because she was going to be sent down to the countryside, she was given most of the family property in advance.

　　Zhang Linxi was envious and jealous, so she cut off her ties with the Zhang family, fearing that she would be discovered.

　　Zhang Linxi didn't know what went wrong. There was nothing wrong in her previous life. Zhang Linxi's parents had never appeared in her life.

　　Could this be a side effect of her time travel and rebirth?

　　Zhang Linxi wanted to curse.

　　She sat down on the bed and decided to throw the can down the drain: "I don't know how it happened to your daughter. I just slept on the bed and woke up on the train."

　　"I don't know you guys. I'm sorry for traveling from the 21st century to the 1970s, okay? I was just too angry and aggrieved, so I didn't contact you."

　　"I have spent a lot of the money you prepared for your daughter, but don't worry, when I graduate and make money, I will definitely pay you back. As for the rest, it's none of my business. As for retirement and so on, you didn't raise me, so I believe that your retirement issues have nothing to do with me."

　　Zhang Linxi planned to use the tactic of procrastination. She did not intend to pay the money back. She planned to keep procrastinating until the end, and the money would naturally be forgotten. She was not afraid even if they made trouble outside. She had never heard of anyone asking for money back after giving it to their children.

　　These shameless words made Lin Shufeng's chest heave and rage surge up her body. She raised her hand and was about to hit Zhang Linxi, but was stopped by Zhang Ziqiang.

　　Zhang Ziqiang looked at Zhang Linxi and said, "Since you said that, I feel relieved. I hope you can come to the temple with us tomorrow. When the time comes, don't occupy my daughter's body and not come out."

　　Zhang Linxi had read a lot of novels before she traveled through time, but she had never seen anyone who could give up their body after traveling through time. Moreover, she lived for more than sixty years in her previous life, but there was no sign of Zhang Linxi appearing.

　　Zhang Linxi was full of confidence: "Okay, whoever stays here is a coward."

　　Zhang Linxi was not afraid of going to temples. In her previous life, she went to many temples, but no one could tell that she was a time traveler. Zhang Linxi felt that those monks and Taoist priests were all liars. They were all just bluffs.

　　After a pause, she continued, "But if nothing is found in the temple, then we will have nothing to do with each other, and all previous accounts will be written off, and we will not recognize each other in the future."

　　Lin Shufeng's hands were shaking, she bit her lips tightly, and said nothing, letting Zhang Ziqiang reply with a good word.

　　Zhang Linnan, who was sitting by the door, had already begun wiping away tears.

　　The three members of the Zhang family all knew that their daughter was most likely gone. If they didn't break off their relationship with Zhang Linxi, they could still see her more when they missed her. But they also knew that if their Xiaoxi was still alive, she would not allow herself to live like this.

　　Zhang Linxi was being watched by the Zhang family.

　　Jiang Youtao clicked the × at the top of the screen and suddenly remembered the topic about cultivators that she had discussed with the melon-eating system when she was in Yangping County.

　　The melon-eating system said that the spiritual energy of this world gradually disappeared after World War II, and those elderly cultivators were the last batch of cultivators in this world. They are still alive.

　　Jiang Youtao sincerely hoped that there would be these cultivators in the temple that Zhang Ziqiang would go to tomorrow.

　　She sincerely hoped that the original Zhang Linxi was still there and could come back.
