Liu Ye was Chen Fang's former husband. The two had a wedding banquet but never received a marriage license. Within three days of the wedding, the bride ran away, making Liu Ye the laughingstock of the entire village. Villagers either sighed or mocked him for his incompetence, which led to Liu Ye becoming somewhat introverted.

Later, because Chen Fang returned with Li Baozhu, she not only refused to return Liu Ye's dowry but also spread rumors that he was incapable and unsuitable for marriage.

Now, the townsfolk have blamed all of Chen Fang's past mistakes on Liu Ye, which led him to harbor resentment and become completely corrupted.

However, the villainization is useless. Besides being embarrassing, it doesn't have any impact on the male and female leads at all. That's the author's strength.

Gu Qian understood a little better now. No wonder the Book Spirit didn't put any restrictions on her. It seemed to allow her free rein, but in reality, if she wanted to complete the mission, she had to follow the plot.

It seems she had overestimated the laziness of the protagonists.

"Who cares what hat you wear, hurry up and tell me what your wish is."

Liu Ye's ears were still ringing with Gu Qian's words. He stared blankly as she mounted her bicycle, her movements not at all like those of a rural woman, but rather like a female warrior from a movie, so dashing and carefree.

What could a farmer possibly desire? Does he hope that the woman who tricked him into giving her a dowry and then abandoned him doesn't have a good ending either?

"What a strange person."

Gu Qian didn't know that she had already become a weirdo in many people's eyes, and knowing this, she wouldn't mind.

Although she returned late, she was still much faster than Lee Sung-hwai who walked all the way home.

As Gu Qianshen approached Li's house, he saw a crowd gathered around the entrance from afar. A familiar booming voice could be heard cutting through the commotion.

"You make everyone judge, my son got beaten by your grandson, so you have to pay! Your eldest daughter-in-law Feng Xiaoqian personally promised me, hurry up and give the money, or I'll go to the village head and complain!"

"Tsk! Liu Fengzhi, you're swindling money and coming to my doorstep? Do you have any shame left?! You and your son are like clumsy bears. My grandson could beat both of you!"

"You dare insult me? I won't let this go!"

"Ouch, you dare to hit someone!"

"I'm hitting you, you old geezer! You think you can insult me? I'll show you!"

Oh! I'll fight you to the death!

"Wang Changlian, are you dead? Come over and help!"

"Don't think that because you have more people, I'm afraid of you!"

The sun hadn't set yet, hanging low in the west. The men from the village were still working in the fields and hadn't come back. Most of those watching were women from the households.

Seeing Li Guilan and Liu Fengzhi fighting, no one thought of stepping forward to stop them. They just shouted a few words to tell them to stop fighting and stood aside watching the commotion.

It's no wonder the neighbors don't want to help. Liu Fengzhi is sharp-tongued and unpleasant, and Li Guilan isn't much better either. They'd rather see the two of them tear each other apart.

Gu Qiansha happened to think the same way, so she got off her bicycle and watched the commotion from afar.

There are too few entertainment options here. Although televisions have arrived in town, only the village head and a few households in the countryside have black-and-white TVs, and there aren't many programs available.

Growing up in an environment of information overload, Gu Qian started to get bored and began counting ants with the snotty kid next door. Since there was a live performance, of course, it was worth watching carefully.

As soon as Li Chenghuai arrived home, he saw Gu Qian leaning against the wall with a smiling face. He had heard the commotion at his own house from afar, and he immediately recognized Li Gui Lan's voice, but instead of going over right away, he walked towards Gu Qian.
