Chapter 175: Doubts

　　After hanging up the phone, Su Zhiyuan leaned against the wall, unable to speak for a long time.

　　His friend asked a lot of people for him, and everyone in the village could prove that Bai Yanlan had never given birth. But five years ago, when Bai Yanlan was pregnant, she suddenly gained some weight, and then slowly lost weight again.

　　Su Zhiyuan calmed himself down and went to school to ask for leave from his class teacher, then walked towards his rented house in Liushu Hutong.

　　Wang Yurong was playing with the kids in the alley, and Su Zhiyuan stood there watching him. He knew Wang Yurong looked like Bai Yanlan, but he had never thought about it in other ways. After all, there were many children who looked like their aunts. His eldest brother's nephew looked just like him.

　　But now that he think about it carefully, he feel that there are doubts everywhere. Bai Yanlan does not look like Bai Yulan, nor does she look like Old Lady Bai or Bai Yaozu. Bai Yanlan's appearance is much better than theirs.

　　Wang Yurong and Bai Yanlan were like two peas in a pod, especially those eyes. Su Zhiyuan recalled that in his previous life, Bai Yanlan loved Wang Yurong very much. She bought him clothes for all seasons, and she would satisfy him with whatever he wanted or wanted to eat as long as he asked her for it.

　　In the past, Su Zhiyuan thought that Bai Yanlan was so nice to Wang Yurong because she had no children. After all, she was not bad to her eldest brother's nephews. She just couldn't fulfill every request like she did to Wang Yurong.

　　Su Zhiyuan didn't blame her, everyone has selfish desires. Just like him, in his heart, his nephew is more important than Wang Yurong.

　　Wang Yurong was having a great time, and when he saw Su Zhiyuan, his eyes lit up and he stumbled towards Su Zhiyuan.

　　In his previous life, whenever this happened, Su Zhiyuan would have squatted down with his arms open, waiting for Wang Yurong to run over.

　　But now, he just stood there and watched coldly.

　　Wang Yurong, who was only four years old, knew nothing and just ran towards the man he liked.

　　Su Zhiyuan recalled that in his previous life, when Wang Yurong was 25, he had a girlfriend who got pregnant before marriage. His girlfriend's family was very angry and deliberately made things difficult for him, asking for a house and a car. Bai Yulan and Wang Linqiang were both people who lived for the moment, and they rented houses until they were 40 or 50 years old. Wang Yurong was mostly managed by Bai Yanlan and Su Zhiyuan.

　　The girl's family wanted a house and a car, and if they didn't give them, they would abort the child. Before Bai Yulan could do anything, Bai Yanlan couldn't stand it anymore. She took advantage of Su Zhiyuan's absence and sold the old house. The old house was allocated by Su Zhiyuan's company when he first started working, and he bought it later.

　　It didn't cost much, and the area is not big, with two bedrooms and a living room, but it has a good location in the central city area, with good transportation, and there are language schools, subway stations, and bus stops nearby. Even if it is old and small, it can still be sold for millions.

　　All the money was given to Wang Yurong to buy a car instead of a house. When Su Zhiyuan found out about this, the matter was already a foregone conclusion. He had a big fight with Bai Yanlan because of this matter. Wang Yurong felt that his uncle was stingy because of this matter, so he wrote a promissory note that had no legal effect and stopped having any contact with him afterwards.

　　Bai Yanlan kept apologizing to him. He and Bai Yanlan had spent their whole lives together, they were young couple and old companions. Su Zhiyuan also always remembered how Bai Yanlan used her thin body to rescue him from the mountains, so he thought of letting it go.

　　Su Zhiyuan felt that it was all retribution for his failure to judge people and for being too soft-hearted.

　　Wang Yurong wait for Su Zhiyuan to hug him, but he didn't hug him, so he burst into tears. Old Mrs. Bai was sitting in the room taking a nap, and she rushed out when she heard the cry.

　　Wang Linqiang is not a good person. If anything happens to her son, Wang Linqiang will eat her alive.

　　She rushed out and saw Su Zhiyuan, and she was immediately happy: "Zhiyuan is back?"

　　Old Mrs. Bai naturally picked up Wang Yurong, patted his butt and coaxed him, and Wang Yurong stopped crying.

　　Bai Yaozu was still playing with his toy car. When he saw Su Zhiyuan running over with the car in his arms, he asked, "Brother-in-law, do you think my car looks good?"

　　Without waiting for Su Zhiyuan to answer, he continued, "Brother-in-law, there are many trucks in the department store, and there are many colors. Come with me to have a look later. I also want to buy a green one with a long carriage."

　　Bai Yaozu said this while pushing the truck forward with his hands and humming in his mouth, imitating the sound of a car horn.

　　The more he got along with the Bai family, the more Su Zhiyuan realized how stupid he was in his previous life. Who in the Bai family took him seriously?

　　It was noon, Bai Yanlan must be at home, she was unfamiliar with the place and had nowhere to go. He came back, but she pretended to know nothing and was still waiting for him to coax her.

　　Su Zhiyuan sighed twice in his heart. He had been a sucker all his life and he must not do it again in this life.

　　He didn't think there was anything wrong with loving and respecting his wife. In his previous life, he loved Bai Yanlan all his life, but in return he got betrayals and lies one after another. In this life, he didn't want to be the scapegoat anymore.

　　"I came back to get something." Su Zhiyuan went straight to the west wing regardless of the situation of the Bai family.

　　Bai Yanlan was lying on the kang with her back against the door, a thin quilt covering her body. She didn't move at all when she heard the noise.

　　Su Zhiyuan ignored him, opened the second drawer of the chest of drawers on the table, and took out all the important documents inside. He had to take all these things away while the Bai family was not on guard.

　　A grain and oil register, a household registration certificate, a bank passbook and the stamp album he carried with him wherever he went since he was a child.

　　After taking the things, he turned around and left. From beginning to end, he didn't say a word to Bai Yanlan.

　　Seeing that he didn't come to comfort her, Bai Yanlan couldn't lie still. They had been married for a year or two, and every time she was unhappy, Su Zhiyuan would try every possible way to comfort her. This time, he didn't give her face, he didn't even want to give her money, and he was so rude in his words. He came back and didn't comfort her?

　　Bai Yanlan was still waiting for Su Zhiyuan to coax her before putting forward her conditions.

　　When she was shopping in the department store that day, she also saw a pink silk scarf, but she didn't have money at the time, so she didn't buy it. She planned to wait for Su Zhiyuan to coax her and ask him to agree to buy the scarf. Then she also wanted a pair of black leather shoes. She saw the two girls next door wearing them, and they looked good with pants and clothes. She wanted one too.

　　The most important thing is, there is no white magnolia yet.

　　At this moment, Su Zhiyuan left again without saying a word. Bai Yanlan put on her shoes and chased after him. Then she caught up with Su Zhiyuan when he was almost at the entrance of the alley.

　　"What on earth do you want to do, Su Zhiyuan? Can't you just say it to my face? Why are you acting like this?" Bai Yanlan had never suffered such injustice from Su Zhiyuan before, and tears flowed down her face.

　　Su Zhiyuan turned to look at her, and suddenly remembered what his father had taught him to say to his brother since he was a child. His father said that only incompetent men would make their women cry.

　　Su Zhiyuan took it to heart, but he might be really incompetent. Bai Yanlan had cried since the day she married him, but each time her tears were not for him. This was the first time, and Su Zhiyuan felt a little fresh, but he didn't feel distressed.

　　After getting the important documents, Su Zhiyuan didn't want to deal with the Bai family anymore.

　　He said, "Bai Yanlan, let's get a divorce."

　　In her previous life, Bai Yanlan often mentioned the word divorce, and divorce became her weapon to make Su Zhiyuan compromise. Su Zhiyuan had never mentioned divorce before, and this was the first time.

　　Su Zhiyuan still felt a little uncomfortable. He had loved Bai Yanlan before. Falling in love with someone who saved you is not just a for a woman's experience. Men can also fall in love with someone who saved them.

　　Su Zhiyuan will never forget that when he was waiting to die at the foot of the hillside, Bai Yanlan walked up to him with a hatchet and a wooden stick.

　　But after the discomfort, Su Zhiyuan felt relieved, and even the blue sky and sunshine in autumn became a little brighter.

　　When Bai Yanlan heard Su Zhiyuan talking about divorce, her face turned pale. She took a step back, then raised her head, and her voice, which had become a little sharp because of her questioning, softened.

　　"What are you talking about, Zhiyuan? Did I do something wrong?" Bai Yanlan's toughness in front of Su Zhiyuan was all based on Su Zhiyuan's indulgence of her.

　　Now that Su Zhiyuan wants a divorce, she has lost her confidence. She is not really a fool. If she changes a man, the Bai family will not care at all. If they have a bad temper, she will be beaten.

　　She had been married for two years and still had no children. Su Zhiyuan had never despised her, but in their place, it was normal for a couple to be beaten and scolded by their in-laws if they didn't have a child within six months of marriage. She was the first one who didn't have children and yet was comforted by her husband in various ways.

　　Su Zhiyuan no longer wanted to say anything to her. Bai Yanlan was a very stubborn person who only listened to the opinions she wanted to hear. He had learned not to explain the facts to her.

　　As soon as Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei arrived at the entrance of the alley, they heard Su Zhiyuan talking to Bai Yanlan about divorce.

　　Both of them were a little embarrassed. They looked at each other. Gu Nianwei touched her belly and walked into the alley first.

　　She has her period, and if she doesn't go home and change her pants, her pants will be exposed. She doesn't know these two people, so what does it have to do with her whether they get divorced or not?

　　Jiang Youtao followed closely behind, and the two of them walked through them without looking at them. In addition to fear, Bai Yanlan's face was also filled with embarrassment.

　　Su Zhiyuan is not afraid of his private affairs being known. In his previous life, everyone in his workplace knew about his family's affairs. How many times has Mrs. Bai gone to his workplace to cause trouble?

　　Were there not many people who laughed at Bai Yanlan when he sold the house to Wang Yurong?

　　Su Zhiyuan was a little tired, especially in his heart: "Bai Yanlan, tell me the truth, whose child is Wang Yurong?"

　　Bai Yanlan's forehead was twitching. She opened her mouth but found that she couldn't say a word.

　　Su Zhiyuan said: "You didn't get married with me at the beginning, so we don't need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get divorced now. I paid the rent for this house for half a year. After half a year, you need to pay the rent yourself."

　　Such a house is not big, and the rent is 12 yuan a month, which is the price after his classmate used his connections. After renting it for half a year, he spent 72 of the more than 100 yuan given by his grandparents and gave Bai Yanlan 20, so only a dozen yuan was left of the 100 yuan.

　　Su Zhiyuan remembered that in his previous life, Bai Yanlan asked him for money, and he asked his classmates to lend it to him. From that time on, until he graduated from university, he had to borrow money several times a year for emergencies.

　　"Don't even think about making trouble with me. Let your mother take care of herself. I don't want to tell anyone about your family's ugly deeds. Don't force me. My good temper doesn't mean I don't have a temper."

　　Su Zhiyuan turned and left. Bai Yanlan held onto the wall and slid down along the wall.

　　She wanted to chase after him and tell Su Zhiyuan that she was wrong, but she didn't dare to go up.

　　Wang Yurong was something she wanted to hide for the rest of her life. She had thought that Su Zhiyuan would find out about this, but as soon as she had the beginning of the thought, she suppressed the idea.

　　Their original plan was flawless. After she became pregnant, Bai Yulan immediately started pretending to be pregnant. The size of Bai Yulan's fake belly was as big as her belly. She was pregnant in the summer, and by the time her belly grew bigger, it was already autumn. She wore loose and thick clothes, so no one could tell that she was pregnant.

　　She didn't go out to give birth. Old Lady Bai delivered her child. She gave birth at night. When her acquaintances came to her house to congratulate her the next day, she had already given birth. Bai Yulan pretended to do the confinement. She just rested a little after giving birth and then started to take care of the child.

　　Apart from Old Lady Bai, Bai Yulan and Wang Linqiang, no one knew that she was pregnant, not even Bai Yaozu.

　　Bai Yanlan never thought that the truth would be exposed and Su Zhiyuan would find out.

　　Mrs. Bai found out when she saw that Bai Yanlan hadn't returned. She pulled up Bai Yanlan who was sitting on the ground and said, "What happened to you? Are you pregnant? You can't be pregnant now. If you are pregnant, what if Zhiyuan treats Yurong badly? Yurong's father is not an easy person to get along with. When he comes out and finds out that Yurong has been wronged, will you and I still have a chance to survive?"

　　Bai Yanlan looked at Old Lady Bai with lifeless eyes: "Mom, Zhiyuan knows, Zhiyuan knows, he knows about Yurong."

　　Old Mrs. Bai was so shocked that she let go of her hand. Bai Yanlan sat back on the ground, fell flat on her face, and hit her head against the wall. Stars appeared in front of her eyes, but Old Mrs. Bai acted as if she didn't see anything: "How could he know? Did you tell him? Didn't I tell you to coax him? How come you just listen to me but didn't do anything?"

　　Old Lady Bai slapped Bai Yanlan in the face, and Bai Yanlan hit her head. Her eyes went dark and she fainted.

　　Jiang Youtao opened the door and saw this scene. Old Mrs. Bai was still cursing, and Bai Yanlan didn't move. Jiang Youtao didn't intend to care about it, but two minutes had passed and Old Mrs. Bai was still talking on the microphone passionately, but Bai Yanlan still didn't move.

　　Jiang Youtao looked at Bai Yanlan again. She read the entire book and flipped through all the content about Bai Yanlan in Small World No. 19.

　　Bai Yanlan's biggest problem is that she is confused and has no opinion. She tries her best to please people who treat her badly, such as Mrs. Bai, and she hurts people who treat her well without restraint, just like Su Zhiyuan said.

　　"Well, old lady, why don't you go check on your daughter first? She has been lying on the ground for a long time." After saying this, Jiang Youtao went to Gu Nianwei's house.

　　As for the Bai family, she would try not to get involved. From what she knew, this family was like taffy, once you got involved, you couldn't get rid of them.

　　Yu Daya's previous experience taught Jiang Youtao that sometimes people should not be too kind.

　　Only then did Old Mrs. Bai realize that Bai Yanlan was motionless. She kicked her with her toes and reached under her philtrum for a long time before she dragged Bai Yanlan home numbly.

　　It is impossible to go to the hospital. No matter how serious the problem is, they won't go to the hospital. Even if they have money, she won't use it for the hospital fees.

　　When Jiang Youtao came out of Gu Nianwei's house, the Bai mother and daughter were no longer in the alley. Jiang Youtao pushed the door and went home, reviewing what happened on the 19th as she walked. Before entering the room, Jiang Youtao finally figured out what was wrong.

　　[ Tongzi, are you sure that No. 19 really has nothing to hide from you? Has it really been sleeping since it became conscious? Then the question is, judging from Su Zhiyuan's various behaviors after his rebirth, Su Zhiyuan is definitely not stupid, and he definitely has brains. ]

　　[ Then why do you think he was so stupid in his previous life? Don't you think it's strange that he was not influenced by the consciousness of the small world No. 19? ]

　　[ Also, the main perspective of this book is Wang Yurong. Logically speaking, Wang Yurong should also be the protagonist of the small world, right? Why didn't you give any reminders when I saw Wang Yurong? ]

　　[ It is true that Su Zhiyuan is the victim, and it is also true that he is the male protagonist. So here comes the question: when I first met Su Zhiyuan, you said he was the male protagonist, right? Then what about the female protagonist? Who is the female protagonist? ]
