My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty
Chapter 156 Too Much Ha

Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Too Much Ha

If there’s anything that could make Tang Chuxia feel as if her world view has been shattered, it’s what’s in front of her right now.

She had only heard about the concept of wife rental from some historical records, but the notion of renting out one’s womb... it seemed not impossible, more of a reality for the future.

A bitter smile crept onto her lips.

She felt the impact of the era on women.

Why do they have to suffer these things?

"Does she even know she has given birth to a child?"

Tang Chuxia felt a pang of heartache looking at the mad woman’s eyes that had lost their brightness.

Xiuxiu shook her head. "Everyone says she’s crazy, how could she tell?"

When they returned to the old house, Xiuxiu pointed to a man among a group of men and said to Tang Chuxia, "That’s the mad woman’s husband!"

Tang Chuxia glanced at him; he looked very ordinary.

"He rented out his wife’s womb. Does he have his own children?"

Xiuxiu nodded. "Before she went mad, the mad woman had two children!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

What a scumbag.

A fire of anger surged within her.

How could such scum still exist?

Fortunately, she was rational enough to realize that killing a scumbag was easy, but it wouldn’t change anything.

But she wouldn’t do nothing at all. Having seen these things, she needed to talk to the relevant authorities.

Xiuxiu mentioned it casually, not expecting Tang Chuxia to do much. She just gossiped while the men folk returned home for a lively mealtime.

Tang Chuxia had just had breakfast, so she wouldn’t eat again. She found Tang Jianjun in the crowd. "What did you find out yesterday?"

Tang Jianjun shook his head. "Very honest and straightforward, just a rural man. He just doesn’t like talking to others. The only special thing is he goes out of town for a month every year, saying it’s to visit relatives at his grandma’s!"

Tang Chuxia uttered a sound of acknowledgment.

It seemed flawless, yet the embroidery and the calluses on his hands still felt off to her.

Tang Jianjun did have some findings.

"While chatting, the matchmaker’s husband mentioned that the kid proactively sought the matchmaker to have Xiuxiu considered!"

Tang Chuxia became even more puzzled.

"It’s not just Xiuxiu; he specifically looks for someone from Tang Village, preferably related to our grandfather!"

Even Tang Jianbing, who had been listening, noticed the issue.

"So he’s determined to marry into our family!"

Tang Chuxia decided to find her great-grandma since this clue seemed important.

Great-grandma, after listening, took it seriously and had her daughter-in-law investigate.

Her daughter-in-law was the village women’s director, well-informed, and gathered information over dinner.

"They say someone from Tang Village is educated, thinking that the girls from our family must be well-mannered!"

The women’s director’s words made Tang Chuxia feel absurd.

Her father was indeed an educated man, but what did that have to do with the family girls?

Apart from her going to school outside, most of the girls in the clan were still illiterate; only Tang Wanqiu attended school.

So, was the target aiming for Tang Wanqiu?

Great-grandma chuckled, saying the young man had good taste.

Tang Chuxia decided not to voice her speculation and, after sharing the information with her second brother, made a request, "Take me to the area near that man’s house for a look later!"

Tang Jianjun disagreed. "What are you planning to do?"

Tang Chuxia smiled, "I’m doing some fieldwork. After all, I’m also a marrying-age girl in our family!"

Tang Jianjun got a headache from her words.

"If you dare mess around, see if I punish you!"

What kind of man couldn’t measure up to his sister? And considering such a man...

If she dared think so, he dared beat her.

Tang Chuxia stuck out her tongue; she was just kidding.

Her second brother was too serious.

Tang Jianbing beside her also warned, "You didn’t fancy Gu Beihuai, and you’d consider such a man? Are you out of your mind?"

Tang Chuxia: ...

Why the personal attacks for no reason?

"When did I say I didn’t fancy Gu Beihuai? I’ll bring Gu Beihuai back as your brother-in-law when I return!"

Tang Chuxia spoke earnestly, yet her two brothers snorted, not believing a word.

Absolutely infuriating.

"I’m serious, I want to marry Gu Beihuai!"

Tang Chuxia reiterated, and Madam Tang subtly smacked her from behind, "Don’t mess with little Huai! Such a good child gets bullied by you every day, so much so that Aunt Hong said he might prefer men over choosing a girl!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

Then who was that guy who reacted to her?

Doesn’t like women, huh?

She would definitely go and ask properly.

Kisses and hugs were exchanged, they even slept in the same bed. Whether he liked women, Tang Chuxia wasn’t sure, but he was definitely a normal man.

At least there was some chemistry between them.

Tang Chuxia gritted her teeth, internally ranting about Gu Beihuai, while Gu Beihuai, far away in Quan City, couldn’t stop sneezing.

Wu Haipeng yawned, "Got a cold?"

Gu Beihuai thought more likely he was being cursed, but he did not say it out loud.

"If you’re sleepy, go home and sleep. Your leg isn’t fully recovered yet; don’t mess around!" Gu Beihuai glanced at Wu Haipeng’s leg. Regardless of his fantastic recovery ability, an injury was an injury and needed proper care.

Wu Haipeng waved his hand, "With a murder case in our compound, how could I sleep?"

Gu Beihuai sighed, clearly, he wanted a chance to meet up with Dangdang under the guise of a just cause.

Men! Ha!

He stopped paying attention to Wu Haipeng and started studying the body.

The coroner had performed a preliminary autopsy already; there was nothing useful, but none of them were familiar with the deceased.

Initially, Gu Beihuai thought it was Hu Mingcheng, but upon seeing the man, he realized it was a very inconspicuous middle-aged man in the compound, who had no known enemies and almost no reason to be murdered.

This case ended up as a mystery.

They weren’t police officers, aside from taking Wu Haipeng’s witness statement, who had seen a suspected killer.

Once out of the police station, both felt a bit weary.

"Let’s sleep first, then visit Qin Zhan at the hospital afterwards."

After Gu Beihuai suggested this, Wu Haipeng agreed, but upon returning home, they found Qin Zhan waiting in the courtyard.

"What’s up? Did something happen to Auntie?"

Gu Beihuai asked hurriedly, and Qin Zhan excitedly shouted, "My mom woke up, she’s awake!"

Gu Beihuai let out a breath. He was truly afraid something would happen to Mrs. Qin, which would be the end of Qin Zhan as well.

"So why aren’t you at the hospital with Auntie, and what are you doing at my place?"

Gu Beihuai led him inside, but Qin Zhan was still too excited to calm down.

"My mom said she woke up after eating something Xiaxia fed her while she was in a coma. Once awake, she told me to find Xiaxia and thank her. So, I came to consult you on what to give Xiaxia as a token of gratitude!"

Gu Beihuai was dumbfounded.

"Tang Chuxia fed your mom something?"

"Could it be poison?"

Qin Zhan: ...

How deep is the hatred and the grudge?
