The scumbag reborn to choose Bai Yueguang: He regretted it

When Chen Jidong rushed back after learning the news of Xia Hongmei and Chen Lingling's disappearance, it had been a week since they disappeared.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the people of Jingyang Village are in panic because of a missing person incident.

It was previously rumored that Qiao Zhixia was missing, but it turned out that she was picking peaches in the orchard and caused a misunderstanding.

Unexpectedly, the mother and daughter of the Chen family disappeared again. No one in the village paid attention to it at first. It was not until they had not been seen for three days that the whole village started looking for them.

As a result, they searched the entire village but still couldn't find the person.

Chen Wenge went to attend training, and Chen Jidong started a small business in the county town with several of his former brothers, but he was not able to contact them until a week later.

Wang Ruoqiu was crying anxiously while holding her son at home. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth, she would have looked really sad.

The police have already filed a case, but no one can say when they will find the person.

Only Qiao Zhixia knew that once they entered that village, they would never be able to return until they died...

One afternoon ten days later, Chen Lingling and Xia Hongmei were finally sent to a closed and backward mountain village more than 3,000 kilometers away from Jingyang Village.

The economy here is backward, transportation is blocked, and the villagers' thoughts are corrupt and feudal.

The purpose of women here is to carry on the family line and serve men. Because they value boys over girls, most baby girls are strangled at birth, so there are more boys than girls here.

Even the custom of polyandry emerged.

A girl can be a sexual gratification tool for all the men in a family.

Chen Lingling was sold to a family with four brothers. Their mother died of illness two years ago, leaving only four brothers and an old father in the family.

According to custom, all four brothers would be her husbands.

She looked at the four black and smelly men and screamed in fear. She turned around and tried to run away, but one of her legs was broken by two sticks. Then she was tied up with a rope and spent her bridal chamber with the four grooms that night.

Although Xia Hongmei is over 50 years old, she looks like she is in her early 40s because she takes good care of herself.

In this village where there was a shortage of women, she would not be despised. An old bachelor in his sixties took a fancy to her and bought her away.

This old bachelor has a weird personality and quirks. Xia Hongmei's screams that night were like the sound of a pig being slaughtered...

The New Year has arrived again, and Qiao Zhixia's company in the provincial capital has officially started operations.

Xu Xiaolan is now the sales manager of Sunyang Group. The sales department has hired nearly 30 sales staff and started to promote Sunyang's products nationwide.

Ji Pingan serves as the marketing manager, overseeing the formulation of long-term market strategic planning, annual implementation plans, and new product planning.

Qiao Chudong served as the financial director, in charge of the company's financial power.

As for other departments, they are also being planned and improved step by step.

With a professional team responsible for each related task, she only needs to check and sign off on major decisions.

Her most important responsibility is to ensure the supply of raw materials and constantly update new products.

Before the Chinese New Year, she took some time off to take her parents to the provincial capital, one to visit her company, and the other to cover up a lie about going to the city to hold a wedding.

She is now almost five months pregnant, but it is not obvious because the loose coat covers her belly well.

Apart from a few close relatives, no one else knew about her pregnancy.

They stayed in the provincial capital for five days and returned to Jingyang Village three days before the New Year.

This trip to the city allowed Qiao Xinguo and his wife to gain a lot of knowledge and broaden their horizons. The inferiority and timidity they had before were almost gone from them.

Qiao Chudong and Xu Xiaolan also came back with them to celebrate the New Year.

The Qiao family's new house made Xu Xiaolan's eyes light up, and what surprised her most were the two-color roses blooming in the courtyard.

Although Jingyang Village is not in the north, it is not in the south either. The four seasons here are distinct, and the temperature in winter can be several degrees below zero.

How can such a delicate rose withstand the severe cold without withering?

Xu Xiaolan sighed with envy: "Zhizhi, I found that you are that kind of person. You get what you sow, and you grow what you raise... So can I pick a bunch of these roses?"

"No." Qiao Zhixia refused flatly.

"(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~ so stingy! Will the baby in my belly recognize me as its godmother?" Xu Xiaolan blinked her beautiful eyes.

"As long as the red envelope is thick enough, you can have this."

"It depends on whether the boss gives me a raise..." Xu Xiaolan put her ear to Qiao Zhixia's bulging belly and clearly felt the baby's movement.

She was so excited that she kept shouting that her baby was kicking her.

When Xu Xiaolan learned that Qiao Zhixia was pregnant a few days ago, she was completely stunned, but she quickly guessed that it was something that happened on the night when the two of them were drunk.

So she felt that she had an obligation to be responsible for the child. After all, it was she who persuaded Qiao Zhixia to drink and lost her for a night.

She strongly supported Qiao Zhixia's decision to raise her child on her own. Although the idea was bold, it was not difficult for Qiao Zhixia given her current financial situation.

You can live without a man. You can raise a child to experience the joy of being a mother and leave the seeds of continuation of your own life. Having money, a child and no man is simply perfect.

It has to be said that the reason why some people can become friends has nothing to do with other things, but because they are highly compatible in their ideas.

The first New Year in the new house was still lively. Li Aizhen prepared window decorations and couplets, and Qiao Xinguo even bought a set of 100-shot firecrackers.

In previous years, they were reluctant to buy these things during the Spring Festival. Even if they wanted to buy firecrackers, they would partner with others to buy a small amount.

This year we live in a new house and the economy is better, so we can have a lively New Year.

It snowed on New Year's Day. Qiao Xinguo was pasting Spring Festival couplets, Qiao Zhixia and her sister were helping their mother in the kitchen, and Xu Xiaolan was playing with Yaya on the toy slide made by grandpa in the yard.

The wheels rolled over the snow that had just fallen to the ground, leaving two wheel marks in the yard.

In the kitchen, Qiao Zhixia looked at the New Year's Eve dinner her mother had prepared and pouted in dissatisfaction.

There were dishes like old hen stewed with pork belly, sweet and sour fish, fried river shrimp with leeks, steamed pork with rice flour, and spiced braised beef...but not a single dish was appetizing.

"Mom, I want to eat hot pot, the spicy kind."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was unsurprisingly met with a cold stare from her mother.

"Are you thinking you're having a baby for fun? Eating hot pot will cause uterine heat, and the baby will be born with a face full of rashes."

"But I don't want to eat these bland foods. I want to eat something spicy."

"Hold on for another two years, and you'll be able to eat spicy food in two years."

"Why two years? Not five months?"

"You don't want to observe confinement and breastfeed?"

Her mother's words silenced Qiao Zhixia. She never thought that having a child would require so much sacrifice.

"Sister, when you were pregnant with Yaya, couldn't you eat anything?" Qiao Zhixia asked somewhat depressed.

Qiao Chudong smiled faintly: "Almost, but I wanted to eat sour and sweet at that time."

Qiao Zhixia sat in front of the stove and added firewood: "Don't they say sour boys and spicy girls? It seems that judging a boy's gender based on his taste is not accurate."

"When I was pregnant with you, I wanted to eat sour, spicy, and occasionally sweet food, so I can't tell what the taste is." Li Aizhen said as she quickly closed the lid of the steamer.

"Do you want to have a daughter or a son?" Qiao Chudong sat over and asked.

Qiao Zhixia smiled innocently: "Only fools make choices. If possible, I want them all..."
