The next day, Li Da Zhu arrived at Jinsha Village in high spirits.
As soon as he reached the village entrance, many villagers noticed him.
"Is that... Da Zhu?"
"Heh heh, Uncle Gong, long time no see."
Li Da Zhu greeted the villagers.
In the past, he wished he could stay as far away from these people as possible. It wasn't until yesterday, when Lin Xiao Tian told him on the phone that all debts had been paid off, that Li Da Zhu finally felt at ease to return.
Li Da Zhu's appearance also attracted the attention of many people in the village, especially some of the women. Upon hearing that Li Da Zhu had returned, they began to gossip.
"Yo, Da Zhu, you're finally willing to come back? We thought you'd be hiding from your debts and never return."
Hearing this, Li Da Zhu was startled.
"Aunt Gui, didn't Xiao Tian already pay off the debt?"
The reason Li Da Zhu dared to return was because Lin Xiao Tian had told him that his debts were paid.
Now that Aunt Gui said this, could it be that Lin Xiao Tian had lied to him on the phone?
"What? You wouldn't have come back if Xiao Tian hadn't paid off your debt, would you?"
"Alas! Aunt Gui, you misunderstand me. When I went out, wasn't it to earn money to pay off the debt? It's just that Xiao Tian is capable and paid it off for me. I've come back this time specifically to thank him."
Li Da Zhu said with feigned sincerity.
"Who knows if what you're saying is true?" Aunt Gui persisted.
"Haha, look at what you're saying, Auntie. Why wouldn't what I'm saying be true?"
Hearing this, Li Da Zhu could only force a laugh, putting on an honest man's demeanor.
But how could Aunt Gui not know what he was thinking?
The fact that Li Da Zhu dared to flee on his wedding night was enough to show his determination to default on his debt.
News of Li Da Zhu's entry into the village quickly reached Qin Yu Xiang.
Yesterday, Lin Xiao Tian had already informed Qin Yu Xiang about this matter, and she had prepared herself mentally.
Before long, a familiar figure appeared at the doorstep.
Looking at the exquisite two-story house before him, Li Da Zhu was stunned.
Was this still the leaky tiled house he used to live in?
Beyond his shock, he couldn't help but admire Lin Xiao Tian.
If he had known this fool was so capable, he would have treated him better back then, and now he would surely be prosperous too.
Just then, Lin Xiao Tian and Qin Yu Xiang came out.
"Heh heh, Xiao Tian, we meet again." Li Da Zhu said with a smile.
Compared to their previous encounter, Li Da Zhu's attitude this time was a complete 180-degree reversal. With such affectionate eyes, if Lin Xiao Tian didn't remember how he used to mistreat him, he might have believed him.
Lin Xiao Tian gave a polite smile, not showing any displeasure.
At this moment, Li Da Zhu finally noticed Qin Yu Xiang.
"Yu Xiang." Li Da Zhu said tenderly.
"I have something to say to you." Qin Yu Xiang looked at him.
"Ah... yes, it's been so long, I have a lot to say to you too."
As Li Da Zhu spoke, he reached out to hold Qin Yu Xiang's hand.
But Qin Yu Xiang directly pulled it away.
At the same time, Qin Yu Xiang looked at Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian understood her intention, knowing that Qin Yu Xiang wished to handle this matter privately. Thus, he moved to the side.
Of course, Lin Xiao Tian didn't go too far, but watched from a distance. After all, it was Li Da Zhu who had come, and Lin Xiao Tian was still somewhat uneasy.
"Yu Xiang, it's such a hot day, why don't we go inside to talk?"
Seeing that Lin Xiao Tian had moved further away, Li Da Zhu's courage grew.
"No need. I just have a few words to say, and then I'll leave."
"Alas! Yu Xiang, why are you so cold? I know you have grievances against me, but I have my own difficulties!" Li Da Zhu put on a wronged expression. "For the sake of our marital bond, can't you give me a chance?"
"Yu Xiang, I promise, this time, I will definitely live with you properly. I swear to heaven, if I ever betray you again, I will die a horrible death!"
Looking at the pitiful Li Da Zhu before her, if it were the Qin Yu Xiang of the past, she might have softened by now.
But the Qin Yu Xiang of today had already made up her mind.
Li Da Zhu wanted to continue with his sob story. He knew Qin Yu Xiang was soft-hearted and wouldn't be able to resist this tactic, but before he could finish speaking, Qin Yu Xiang interrupted him.
"Li Da Zhu, let's get a divorce!"
Li Da Zhu froze.
"Yu Xiang, what nonsense are you talking about? Why should we divorce?"
"Why?" Qin Yu Xiang looked at the man before her with disappointment.
She had expected to curse Li Da Zhu furiously. Last night, she had even prepared words for an argument.
But at this moment, she suddenly realized that she had no desire to do so.
She no longer had any feelings for Li Da Zhu, and at this moment, she didn't even want to scold him.
"Li Da Zhu, you know exactly what you did." Qin Yu Xiang said coldly.
Seeing Qin Yu Xiang's decisiveness, Li Da Zhu became anxious.
If Qin Yu Xiang divorced him, how could he continue to curry favor with Lin Xiao Tian?
"I was wrong, Yu Xiang, please forgive me!" Li Da Zhu said with tears streaming down his face.
But Qin Yu Xiang was unmoved. "Li Da Zhu, stop pretending. If you don't divorce me, we'll go to court."
After speaking, Qin Yu Xiang turned and walked towards the house.
Li Da Zhu's heart sank, and he was about to chase after her when he was stopped from behind.
"Damn it, who is it? Are you looking for death?" Li Da Zhu roared.
But when he saw that it was Lin Xiao Tian, Li Da Zhu immediately shut his mouth.
"Li Da Zhu, this is my house now, and the property is registered in my name. Without my permission, you cannot enter."
Lin Xiao Tian seemed to be reminding him, but in reality, he was warning him.
"Xiao Tian, help me persuade Yu Xiang. She's too impulsive."
Lin Xiao Tian chuckled.
This Li Da Zhu was actually using the same tactics on him as he did on Qin Yu Xiang.
"Li Da Zhu, there's no need to pretend anymore, is there?"
Seeing that Lin Xiao Tian had seen through him, Li Da Zhu blushed.
In his understanding, he still treated Lin Xiao Tian as the fool he used to be, which was why he had spoken without thinking just now.
"Yu Xiang might still be a little confused. I'll come back another time?" Li Da Zhu said shamelessly.
"Another time? You want another time?" Lin Xiao Tian looked at him. "Li Da Zhu, let me tell you, if Yu Xiang Sister said today that she was willing to keep you, I wouldn't say anything more. But she has already expressed herself very clearly just now. Do you really want to take this to court?"
"Yu Xiang is just temporarily deluded. She'll accept me sooner or later." Li Da Zhu said.
"I think you're the one who's deluded?" Lin Xiao Tian looked him up and down. "Li Da Zhu, when exactly did you become a eunuch?"
Being asked this by Lin Xiao Tian, cold sweat broke out on Li Da Zhu's forehead.
Back in the factory, Lin Xiao Tian had already seen through his true identity.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm perfectly healthy!" Li Da Zhu continued to quibble.
But at this moment, Lin Xiao Tian felt his pulse.
"Judging by the time, it's only been one or two months."
"Was it before you got married?"
"Li Da Zhu, I don't understand. If you were healthy, why would you do this to yourself?"
Lin Xiao Tian stared at him.
