Chapter Six

  "What's going on? How did he suddenly faint?" In the village clinic, Cheng Hai was worried.

  Cheng Zihan had just recovered from a serious illness, and he was worried that his body still had some underlying health problems.

  "It's nothing, just a bit of stimulation, the emotional fluctuation is too big, it's fine after a good rest, just be careful not to stimulate her." The doctor pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said slowly.

  Cheng Zihan woke up and found herself already at home. The living room outside was noisy, but she didn't know what they were arguing about.

  His head was aching from being scolded, and he could hear Qin Kexiu chattering incessantly in his ear.

  "Cheng Zihan, I really don't want to look down on you, aren't you just a man? Look at your behavior! You've been through so much and still can't grow up? Zhou Ziran's family has always been in the official circle, how could he be simple? Don't be so naive, now it's time to focus on making money and building a career." Qin Kexiu also didn't understand why, but every time he saw Cheng Zihan facing Zhou Ziran, he had a strange feeling in his heart that made him very uncomfortable.

  Cheng Zihan opened her eyes and stared at the dark canopy above, as if she could see a flower there. After a long time, she let out a faint sigh. "Qin Kexiu, I thought that after being reborn, many things would become clearer and different, but I found that whenever I face Zhou Ziran again, my emotions can't calm down. Am I useless? No matter how much I suffer, I don't know how to learn from it."

  Cheng Zihan said with some disappointment.

  She also liked to watch when she was bored in her previous life, seeing those female protagonists cross over or be reborn after death, all of whom became incredibly powerful, shining brightly, and no one could bully them anymore, becoming so strong that they seemed almost superhuman.

  She thought she could catch up with the new trend, and like those female protagonists, thoroughly change herself, become a different person, and live a different life.

  But now, she has discovered that many things are easier said than done. She can't do as she wishes, seeing through everything, and even facing the man she once deeply loved, she can remain unmoved.

  It's all about deceiving people inside. As the saying goes, "it's easy to change the dynasty but hard to change one's nature", how can changing be such a simple thing that can be done overnight?

  From the moment she saw Zhou Ziran again, she realized that even if she had been reborn once, when facing this man, she was still the same as in her previous life and couldn't change.

  Qin Kexiu listened to Cheng Zihan's words with a helpless expression, after all, Cheng Zihan was Cheng Zihan, he could only remind and suggest, but couldn't replace her in making decisions.

  "Useless! Cheng Zihan, I don't want to look down on you at all! Can't you be a bit more capable? After all, we're both people who have been reborn. Ah, Cheng Zihan, don't blame me for saying this, but Zhou Ziran is not suitable for you." As he said this, Qin Kexiu felt a sour feeling in his heart.

  Cheng Zihan's eyes lit up as she listened to Qin Kexiu's words, and her spirit also lifted. "En, I won't think about it anymore! No matter what Zhou Ziruo is like, it has nothing to do with me. I won't continue to like him."

  After deceiving herself into feeling better, Cheng Zihan sprang out of bed with renewed energy, put on her cotton-padded jacket and headed to the living room.

  The noise in the living room continued, it was Xiao Gu's wife Cheng Huiling arguing with Li Lan for some reason.

  Cheng Zihan stood by silently listening for a while and also understood the whole story.

  It turned out that Lai Ying discovered that her bank deposit slip was lost, and the money inside was also gone. Cheng Hui Ling immediately accused Li Lan of taking it, coincidentally, Li Lan had taken some money from home when she went back to her mother's house recently, and was falsely accused of stealing it from Lai Ying.

  Cheng Hai was working outside and would only return at night, Li Lan was full of grievances, Cheng Zixi was now nestled in her arms, perhaps frightened, crying softly, looking particularly pitiful.

  Cheng Zihan coldly looked at Cheng Huiling, whose eyebrows and eyes were filled with a hint of complacency. This woman always seemed to be afraid that the world was not chaotic enough, and had often bullied Cheng Zihan in the past.

  Cheng Zihan was helpless against Zhou Ziran, but it was different with this little girl. In her past life, she hadn't even had the chance to teach her a lesson before she died. Now, however, she finally had the opportunity.

  Cheng Zihan walked out of the room and sat down beside Li Lan, then coldly looked at Cheng Huiling and asked: "You said it was my mom who took that money, can you tell me how much she took? Why could she get grandma's bankbook, and why did she know the password? Was it grandma herself who told her, or is she so capable that she can guess correctly even if she's just randomly trying?"

  Cheng Huiling didn't expect Cheng Zihan to suddenly ask this, and was first stunned, then burst out scolding: "You little brat! You're getting bolder! Is there anyone else who dares to talk to me like that? This is what happens when you have no family education! Only your mother, an uneducated country bumpkin, would raise a wild girl like you!"

  Listening to Cheng Huiling's words, Cheng Zihan frowned and asked coldly, "You haven't answered the question I just asked you."

  Cheng Huiling didn't expect Cheng Zihan to not be afraid of her now, and she was so angry that she couldn't bear it. She raised her hand and wanted to hit her, but Cheng Zihan dodged to the side and avoided it. With a cold hum, she looked up at Cheng Huiling with a small face: "How? Can't answer, getting angry and wanting to hit people? I'll tell you, don't think I don't know anything. The grandma's bankbook was clearly taken by you, wasn't it used to support your wild man outside? You're not afraid of being laughed at, you've already married but still linger in the house and refuse to leave, going out every day to find a man, when the time comes, my uncle will know, won't he divorce this shameless woman? When the time comes, Grandpa and Grandma's face will be lost because of you!

  In rural areas, the most important thing is face. They consider face more important than anything else. Cheng Huiling had an affair with a man outside of her marriage, but because she kept it hidden well, outsiders didn't know about it, so no one said anything about it. Now that Cheng Zihan has bluntly exposed it, everyone's expression changed in an instant.

  Cheng Huiling was about to get angry and reached out to grab Cheng Zihan to hit her, but as soon as her hand touched Cheng Zihan, Cheng Zihan's body suddenly fell backwards, hitting her forehead heavily on the wooden sofa. At the same time, she loudly cried out: "Young aunt, you're so heartless! Although I shouldn't have said your embarrassing secrets out loud without fear of taboo, you don't need to use such a ruthless hand either. Are you trying to kill me to silence me?"

  Cheng Hui Ling was about to retort when she saw Cheng Hai's figure appearing at the door, his face full of anger, as if he had "witnessed" the process of her attacking Cheng Zi Han just now.
