Chapter 148: No. 16 Male Lead (End)

　　When Zhang Linxi and her family left the capital, the fifteenth book on the bookshelf had turned gray.

　　Thousands of miles away, at a mine in Liaoning Province, Wei Jianfeng had already asked for leave and was ready to head north with his luggage. However, standing at the busy train station, Wei Jianfeng suddenly forgot where he was going.

　　He turned around and went back home. His home was as small and poor as ever. He was already thirty years old, and his brothers and sisters had both sons and daughters, but he was still single.

　　He always felt that things shouldn't be like this, he should have a beautiful, virtuous, capable wife who regards him as her heaven.

　　Unfortunately, he never found that person in this life. In this life, without Zhang Linxi, he still went to the capital to develop after the reform and opening up, and he also met the true love with whom he had cheated.

　　Unfortunately, without the Siheyuan (TL's Note: it is a Chinese words that refers to a traditional courtyard house or compound.) in the capital, his true love didn't want to be with him. Wei Jianfeng was still a bachelor until his death. He was addicted to the red-light district, and later contracted a disease and died in a snowy night when no one knew about it. When he was found, he had no vital signs.

　　After watching the broadcast from the melon-eating system, Jiang Youtao closed the window. She really didn't have any good feelings towards Wei Jianfeng. This kind of man was the kind who lived off his wife.

　　He wants to be a gigolo, but he also wants the self-esteem of a man. After Zhang Linxi, the bootlicker, is gone, what normal woman would not hide away when seeing a man like him who is so frivolous and incompetent?

　　It is only natural that he will die alone on the roadside. Every cheating man deserves a bad death.

　　Without the melon on the 15th, Jiang Youtao's campus life was peaceful and satisfying. In the second month of school, before the Spring Festival, Ning Lei finally married Du Xun'an. Although Du Xun'an was given a serious punishment, he did not drop out of school and still stubbornly attended classes in school.

　　Ning Lei came to school less and less. Lu Feizhang's wife Li Rong was beautiful, and their relationship was a bit dramatic. Unknowingly, their love story was passed around among the students.

　　And just as Jiang Youtao guessed, after Ning Lei married Du Xun'an, the cornerstones of this small world collapsed, but after being repaired, the small world can now function normally.

　　After the two small worlds ended, Jiang Youtao's melon coins increased a lot, and she also saved up one or two thousand kilograms of melon seeds of various flavors.

　　If the school had not been closed for the Chinese New Year this year and she was not so short of money, Jiang Youtao would have gone out to sell melon seeds a long time ago.

　　The lawsuit was a long process, and it was not until the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month that the lawsuit they filed was accepted by the court.

　　So stacks of court summonses were delivered to the four courtyards bought by Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei.

　　The residents in the courtyard were all stunned when they received the court summons.

　　They dare to confront the street office and the police because they know that the people in the street office are paper tigers and they dare not do anything to them. The police enforce the law impartially, but at most they are just causing trouble and have not broken the law.

　　Even if the police came, they would mainly mediate, and they couldn't arrest them. Everyone did this, as long as they didn't fight or cause trouble, even the police couldn't do anything to them.

　　But the court is different. It is a place where things are handled according to the official seal system. In this case, the law comes before reason. What's the point of them making a fuss? Could it be that the court are like the police, and they will not make a judgment if they make a fuss?

　　Just like the round-faced old lady in Jiang Youtao's courtyard, she was the leader of the courtyard. After receiving the court summons, she moved out spontaneously.

　　Her son and daughter both have jobs and have been allocated housing at their workplaces. She previously lived alone in a slum, but that was only because she had lived there for decades and was used to it. Besides, she lived alone in the house, so it was so spacious. Why did she have to squeeze in with her son and daughter-in-law? That would only make her unhappy.

　　The round-faced old lady packed her things while sighing.

　　It was ok to just cheat before, but now she will be sued in court. She will have a criminal record, which will affect her children's work. What should she do if the children resent her?

　　Her old man is gone, and her children are her support for the rest of her life. She knows clearly what is more important, and her sons also know clearly. They all came to help her on the day she moved.

　　With the round-faced old lady taking the lead, some timid families quickly moved away, and only a few stubborn ones continued to fight to the end.

　　The court session will not be held until after the Chinese New Year, but Jiang Youtao and her friends are not in a hurry. After all, the school does not have a holiday during the Chinese New Year, and in the middle of winter, the decoration team is not working, so the decoration will have to wait until next year. It is really hard to live in an undecorated house.

　　After class that afternoon, Jiang Youtao and her classmates had just arrived downstairs of the dormitory building when Han Yanqing had already arrived. Standing next to him was a girl wearing a bright red cotton jacket.

　　Jiang Youtao and the others looked at each other and hurried over. It was indeed Han Taorui.

　　Han Taoruichao also looked at them and ran towards them: "Sister Taotao, Sister Weiwei, Manqiu!"

　　Han Taorui smiled as sweetly as ever.

　　Four girls with different styles but equally beautiful looks standing together were particularly pleasing to the eye. Not only men, but even women passing by looked at them several more times.

　　Jiang Youtao and the others hadn't seen Han Taorui for almost a year. Compared to the last time they met, she had grown a little taller, and because singers have training in their posture, her back was straighter and she looked particularly energetic.

　　"When is the holiday?"

　　"I was supposed to have a holiday some time ago, but I thought that I haven't celebrated the New Year with my grandparents in several years, so I worked overtime and took a day off with my comrades. I just had a holiday this afternoon. I came directly to see you." Han Taorui sings soprano in the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe.

　　"That's great. Have you eaten? Sister Weiwei will treat you to a delicious meal." From a friend to Han Taorui's sister-in-law, Gu Nianwei's relationship with Han Taorui has not changed. The two of them write one or two letters every month, so they are not strangers at all.

　　Han Taorui liked Gu Nianwei very much. She held Jiang Youtao on her left and Gu Nianwei on her right. She also turned around and called out to Xu Manqiu: "Qiu'er, follow us. We are having a big meal today."

　　There is a Muslim restaurant near the school. The clear soup beef hotpot there is a specialty. Gu Nianwei is craving for beef, so they plan to have hotpot today.

　　After waiting for Fu Shaohua, the group walked out.

　　Passing by the alley where sweet potatoes were sold, the young woman selling sweet potatoes was still standing there. The weather was getting colder, and she stamped her feet and rubbed her hands from time to time.

　　Jiang Youtao touched her belly and said, "Let's go buy some sweet potatoes."

　　During this period of time, Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei have often visited the roasted sweet potato stall, and they can be considered acquaintances of the young woman.

　　"Student Jiang, Student Gu, how many sweet potatoes do you want today?"

　　"I want six." When they arrived in the capital, the price of roasted sweet potatoes also went up. One sweet potato was five cents, and a larger one was eight cents. But since her roasted sweet potatoes were delicious, people who could afford them didn't care about the few cents.

　　The young woman skillfully picked out six large sweet potatoes from the oven and wrapped them in cut newspaper for them.

　　Jiang Youtao paid and was about to leave when the young woman stopped them: "Classmate Jiang, Classmate Gu, do you know a man named He Xunrao?"

　　Jiang Youtao shook her head: "There is no such person in our class. But I will ask around for you."

　　The young woman was disappointed at first, then she smiled.

　　The two of them walked out of the alley and distributed the sweet potatoes to Han Taorui and the others.

　　Han Taorui kept looking back: "Sister Weiwei, the girl selling roasted sweet potatoes is so pretty, prettier than many girls in our group."

　　Jiang Youtao said, "Her name is Xu Qingqing, and she is from Guxian County, Ji Province. She is the only daughter in the family, and her family was reluctant to let her marry someone from another village, so they found a son-in-law for her. The man who came to her house was an educated youth from their village."

　　"The college entrance examination was resumed this year, so her husband went to take the exam. She didn't say anything to stop him from going, and she even supported him very much. Although her parents and brothers were afraid that he wouldn't come back, they didn't stop him. But the man was not a good person. Before he left, he went to her parents' room and took away all their belongings."

　　"Her family is just ordinary villagers. They don't even know what university he went to when they asked people. They just know that he went to the two best universities in the capital. That money is their life savings. Her grandfather is still waiting for medicine. Look, she brought her child here to inquire about it?"

　　"She now survives by selling roasted sweet potatoes."

　　This is the kind of person Jiang Youtao despises the most. He got into college and returned to the city, and no one stopped him, right? But on the way back to the city, he stole all their money. He didn't leave them any way out, he is simply the worst of the worst.

　　They often come to Xu Qingqing to buy sweet potatoes. They have also seen Xu Qingqing's child. The child is really good-looking, fair and tender, well-behaved and cute. When her big eyes blink at people, even the fiercest person can be melted by her cuteness.

　　Jiang Youtao felt that the man was even more hateful.

　　Fu Shaohua peeled the sweet potato and handed it to Jiang Youtao, then took the unpeeled one from her.

　　"Do you know the name of that person?" Fu Shaohua peeled it hastily and put it in his mouth. The baked sweet potato just out of the oven was very hot and sweet. He couldn't spit it out, so he could only open his mouth and blow air to cool the baked sweet potato in his mouth.

　　Jiang Youtao couldn't bear to look at it. Sometimes Fu Shaohua didn't even look like a beautiful boy or a handsome guy. Sometimes he looked so sloppy that Jiang Youtao couldn't bear to look at him.

　　"His name is He Xunrao." Gu Nianwei took over the conversation from the side.

　　Fu Shaohua stopped and asked: "He Xunrao?"

　　Jiang Youtao hummed, realizing something: "Do you know him?"

　　Fu Shaohua didn't expect that the scumbag would be next to her: "We live in a mixed dormitory. I have a roommate named He Xunrao, who is from the medical department. You have seen him, wearing glasses, tall and thin, and looks pretty good. Do you remember him?"

　　After Fu Shaohua said this, Jiang Youtao remembered who it was. It was the male classmate who followed Fu Shaohua down the same day when Zhang Linxi was taken away and Fu Shaohua gave her chicken soup.

　　Jiang Youtao didn't pay attention to what they looked like. Anyway, the men and women in the small world were all good-looking.

　　Having seen so many handsome men and beautiful women, He Xunrao's looks really don't rank high in Jiang Youtao's eyes. At best, he can be considered just okay.

　　So the question is, what should they do now? It's already afternoon, and the Huimin Restaurant is very popular. If they go too late, they won't be able to find a seat.

　　Everyone looked at Han Taorui, who was the protagonist today. She made the decision, "Let's go tell Xu Qingqing, anyway we can eat anytime. If she finds He Xunrao one day later, she and her child will have to suffer one more day."

　　"Okay, let's go now."

　　Several people walked back in a mighty manner.

　　Xu Qingqing is already closing up her stall. She sells until five in the afternoon every day and then goes back to eat. She doesn't go out to sell at night because she wants to spend time with her children.

　　Seeing Jiang Youtao and the others coming back, Xu Qingqing was stunned for a moment: "Classmate Jiang, do you want more roasted sweet potatoes? Today's ones are sold out."

　　Xu Qingqing felt a little embarrassed and her face was full of apology.

　　Jiang Youtao shook her head and said, "Aren't you asking us for information about He Xunrao? My boyfriend said he had a roommate with this name."

　　The wooden clamp in Xu Qingqing's hand fell to the ground with a snap. She quickly bent down to pick it up, her hand tightly holding the wooden clamp.

　　She organized her words and asked quickly, "He is about 1.8 meters tall, wears glasses, and was an educated youth in Guxian County, Hebei Province."

　　Every time she said something, Fu Shaohua nodded: "That's right, it matches my roommate."

　　Xu Qingqing had thought countless times about what she would do after finding He Xunrao, but when that day finally came, Xu Qingqing found herself very calm.

　　Her marriage to He Xunrao was initiated by He Xunrao. When she first announced her intention to marry a son-in-law, matchmakers came to her house to propose marriage and walked through the doorstep.

　　Because her father is the team leader, her mother is the women's director, she has three older brothers who are strong and healthy, and her sisters-in-law are capable and don't have to do much.

　　Her family has many strong laborers, and she promised that as long as they get married, she would build a house in the village for them to live in.

　　With such conditions, many people want to come.

　　He Xunrao came directly to her. He Xunrao could write books and play the harmonica. He was a well-known figure among the educated youth. Which girl of the same age in the village didn't like her?

　　Xu Qingqing was the same. So when He Xunrao came to her and proposed to her, Xu Qingqing agreed.

　　She was out of her mind at the time, so she was abandoned by He Xunrao. She believed that He Xunrao could even leave and never come back. She would be able to live a better life raising the child alone without this useless person dragging her down.

　　But He Xunrao should never steal her family's money. That was all her family's savings, and her grandfather's money to buy medicine.

　　He Xunrao has no conscience. When he was at home, her grandfather loved him the most. When her grandfather went out to brag to other old men, he would always talk about how good his grandson-in-law is.

　　"Wait for me, I'll pack my things and tell Aunt Yang." Xu Qingqing said and went into the house with her things. After a while, she came out wearing a cleaner set of clothes.

　　The clothes she wore when selling sweet potatoes were old clothes that Aunt Yang had given her. They had several patches on them, and were a little dirty from being around the oven all day.

　　Xu Qingqing didn't plan to stay with He Xunrao. Some betrayals are enough once. As a girl who grew up pampered by her family, Xu Qingqing had many advantages, one of which was that she never acted like a slut.

　　The group took Xu Qingqing to the school.

　　Arriving at the men's dormitory, Fu Shaohua went upstairs to look for He Xunrao, while Jiang Youtao and the others were waiting downstairs. No one spoke, mainly because they didn't know what to say.

　　Fu Shaohua came down quickly, alone: "He Xunrao went to the library, let's go to the library to find him."

　　He Xunrao studied in a medical school, where the courses were more difficult than those in other colleges. Most students in the medical school spent their time running around in classrooms and hanging out in the library, and He Xunrao was no exception.

　　The group walked towards the library again.

　　Han Taorui tried to hold back, but couldn't help herself: "Qingqing, what are you going to do?"

　　Han Taorui was very outgoing. In just a short while, she had already dropped Xu Qingqing's last name and started calling her by her first name.

　　Xu Qingqing glanced at her and said in a powerful voice: "Ask for compensation and divorce."

　　No matter how much money He Xunrao spent, he had to return it to her without missing a cent. Otherwise, she would kill He Xunrao even if it meant risking her life. Her grandfather was still waiting for the money to go to the hospital for treatment.

　　He Xunrao didn't spared her grandfather's life, so she wanted to kill He Xunrao. Two lives for one life, she was still at a disadvantage. But she had no choice. She had no power. Apart from her life, what else did she have?

　　They soon arrived at the library. Fu Shaohua was the only one who knew He Xunrao, so the task of finding him was given to Fu Shaohua. Fortunately, as soon as he entered the library, he met several roommates. When they heard that he was looking for He Xunrao, they all went to help.

　　At the same time, in an inconspicuous corner, a man stood up with a smile on his face.

　　"So, this is another compensation mission? The educated youth returned to the city, abandoned his wives and children, and then regretted it when he got old?"

　　After a while, he clicked his glasses and said, "These men want to be scumbags and have a good reputation. They are not pure at all. Unlike me, I am a scumbag to the end."

　　"Let's go, let's go meet the heroine of this world and look at the original owner's memory. His wife is quite pretty. This wave is not bad, not a loss."

　　The man straightened his clothes and looked up, his expression changed instantly. At this time, Fu Shaohua also found this place.

　　When he saw He Xunrao, he quickly came over and pulled him: "He Xunrao, someone is looking for you, let's go out quickly."

　　He Xunrao glanced at Fu Shaohua, recognized him as the original owner's roommate, and followed him out.

　　Along the way, he looked around from time to time, quickly memorizing the surrounding environment. Then he thought about how to complete this task and how to rationalize the original owner's scumbag behavior.

　　For him, this has become an essential skill at the beginning of every small world.

　　Who told him to bind to the scumbag transformation system? It's funny. He himself is a big scumbag. Letting a scumbag play another scumbag is probably a problem.

　　However, considering the generous rewards and the endless beauties, he didn't care about these details.

　　He was still feeling smug, but as soon as he walked out the door, he was slapped in the face.

　　At the same time, the notification sound of the melon-eating system also came: [ Ding ~~~ The male lead of No. 16 ~ "The Scumbag's Big Transformation" He Xunrao was detected, and the plot package is being transmitted~ ]
