Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 200 Are we eating your rice or digging up your ancestral graves?

Miao Yu handed the key to Zhang Changyao, leaning against him as she waited for him to open the door.

Zhang Changyao unlocked the door, pushed it open, helped Miao Yu straight up, stretched out her arms, and pushed her forward.

Miao Yu, as expected of the director of the family planning office, hadn't even glanced at the furnishings in her home.

There are two stone houses, and the courtyard and the ground floor of the houses are paved with red bricks.

Inside the room were a pair of dark red chests, a tall cabinet with glass doors, and a kangqin (a type of traditional Chinese stringed instrument) with colorful porcelain tiles.

Instead of a mat, a silk quilt was laid out on the kang (heated brick bed), covering the entire kang neatly.

The stove on the floor of the outer room wasn't an ordinary stove either; it looked like cement but wasn't. It was smooth and had a pattern on it, so smooth that you could see your face reflected in it.

The cupboard and the tall and short cabinets should be a set, with identical patterns and designs.

There wasn't a single blade of grass in the house, and the coal in the coal bunker outside gleamed in the orange glow of the setting sun.

"Zhang Changyao, what are you doing? I'm hot, give me some cool water to drink." Miao Yu lay down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

He raised his hand and patted the empty space above his head, calling out to Zhang Changyao.

"Coming, coming, Miao Yu, where's the radio? I need to hurry back, it'll be dark and the roads will be difficult to travel later."

Looking at the furnishings in the room—furnishings he never dared to dream of—Zhang Changyao felt dejected and wanted to escape.

"Zhang Changyao, I have a terrible headache. This wine must have been diluted with water. I can't go to this restaurant again."

Miao Yu unbuttoned her shirt and forcefully pulled open the collar.

"Miao Yu, I'm putting water on your head. Get up and drink it in a little while."

I'm going back now; my wife will be worried about me when it gets dark.

Zhang Changyao wasn't stupid; he knew that if they didn't evacuate quickly, the consequences would be uncontrollable.

"Zhang Changyao, if you dare to leave this room, I'll bring men to arrest your wife tomorrow."

"I, Miao Yu, have no other skills, but making Zhang Changyao infertile is as easy as waving my hand."

Miao Yu propped herself up on one arm, lying on her side, and said to Zhang Changyao.

"Director Miao, you are abusing your power. I can report you to the township head."

We're old classmates, why did you have to go to such extremes?

"I don't need you to raise my children, and it's none of your business how many I have."

Enraged by Miao Yu's words, Zhang Changyao opened the door and was about to leave the room.

"Zhang Changyao, let me guess, who has such great power to help you forge documents?"

Liao Zhi really has connections in our village; I need to investigate this matter thoroughly.

"If he dares to exploit loopholes in the policy, I think he's done with his job and needs to spend a few years in prison to reform himself."

Miao Yu sat up straight, a fierce look in her eyes.

"Miao Yu, what do you want in return for letting me go? I've done nothing to you, why are you targeting me?"

Fearing that Meng Lizhi would be implicated, Zhang Changyao had no choice but to turn around and beg Miao Yu.

"Zhang Changyao, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. I just want to be with you and have a child. What's wrong with that?"

I will find Lin Qiu, make him divorce Liao Zhi, and then I will marry Liao Zhi.

As long as Liao Zhi and I get married and I get pregnant, our child will enjoy endless wealth and luxury.

When the children grow up, we, as their parents, will go to the big city with them.

"I want to experience the life of the upper class!" Miao Yu shouted excitedly, pounding the quilt on the bed.

"Miao Yu, didn't you say you didn't like Liao Zhi? Why are you going to such lengths to break him up with Lin Qiu?"

Liao Zhi has already suffered enough, why would you want to take advantage of him?

Who can compare to your life now? Isn't this heavenly life?

You know Liao Zhi can't move. Even if you marry him, who would believe you'd get pregnant with his child?

You're not only hurting yourself and Liao Zhi, but you're also dragging me into this mess.

There's no woman like you in this world. You're so vicious!

Zhang Changyao relentlessly questioned Miao Yu, hoping she would realize that her thinking was wrong and that she had kicked him out in a fit of anger.

"Zhang Changyao, my mind is made up, and there's no point in you saying anything."

Liao Zhi is too good-looking; any child I have with someone else will definitely not look like him.

If you agree to this, then agree; if you don't, I'll make sure your wife can't have children.

I, Miao Yu, cannot remain trapped in this small village forever. I must go out and see the world outside.

Once I, Liao Zhi, have our "child," that Director Liao will be completely subservient to me.

In addition, given my relationship with the township head, no one in the township dared to disobey me.

Whether I get Liao Zhi to take me to live in his high-rise building or get promoted, it's all just a matter of time.

As long as you cooperate with me, everything else is under my control.

"When I have boundless wealth and power, you can do whatever you want in this village."

Seeing that Zhang Changyao would not compromise, Miao Yu had no choice but to reveal her entire plan.

She thought Zhang Changyao would be impressed by her ideas and envision climbing the social ladder and enjoying wealth with her.

"Miao Yu, I cannot agree with your grand ambitions. I'm afraid I'll be struck by lightning."

I have a wife and children, and I want to accumulate good karma for my children.

You wouldn't know Liao Zhi's suffering unless you were by his side.

It's already pitiful enough that it fell from the sky to the ground, why do you have to go up and stomp on it?

Please let him live a couple more days, don't harm him, I beg you.

Zhang Changyao bowed to Miao Yu, his voice choked with sobs, almost on the verge of tears.

"Zhang Changyao, I can leave Liao Zhi alone and I won't go after your wife."

But I have one condition: if you agree to my condition, I will not bother your family.

If you keep resisting me, then I'll have no choice but to do things my own way.

Marrying Liao Zhi and having your child is something I only thought of after seeing you and Liao Zhi.

Before that, I had another idea that could also allow me to leave this wretched place and achieve great success.

However, the prerequisite is the same: you must conceive a child.

I dare not approach anyone else; those guys all harbor ill intentions towards me, and I'm afraid they'll blackmail me.

Only someone like you, honest, kind-hearted, and with a good heart, is my best choice.

Before Zhang Changyao could react, Miao Yu pulled a quilt off the kang (heated brick bed) and spread it on top of the kang.

"Miao Yu, just because I'm honest, kind, and simple-minded, does that mean you can take advantage of me?"

What do you take me for? A breeding animal? Or an insect that only knows how to mate?

I am a man who is over 1.7 meters tall, a living person who walks upright and has the ability to think.

I have a family, a wife and children. After having an affair with you, how am I supposed to face them?

When I was dirt poor, I was short a hundred dollars and couldn't get married.

Where were you hiding back then? Why didn't you come looking for me?

You're just like Lin Qiu, trying to take advantage of me and find all sorts of ways to trick me.

So what if I'm good-looking? Do I eat your grain, your rice, or did I dig up your ancestral graves?

"You're not afraid of looking bad, but I am. You're shameless, but I am!"
