Chapter 18: Does She Have X-Ray Vision?!**

As the large trunk was carried out, everyone present was stunned.

Sheng Lao’er’s mouth dropped open, and his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

This was from his house?

Why didn’t he remember having it?

He had lived in Sheng Fugui’s house for three years—even the mouse holes in the ground, he knew what was inside them.

A trunk that big—one that could hold over a hundred jin of grain—was he blind not to see it?!

“You’re framing me! You’re setting me up!”

“I didn’t do this! I’m not an enemy spy!”

Sheng Fuqiang screamed desperately.

Sheng Chunxiang scoffed, “The evidence is right here, and you’re still denying it? Brigade leader, people like this should be sent straight to the police station.”

“Professional matters should be handled by professionals.”

The brigade leader nodded repeatedly. “Chunxiang, you’re right.”

With a wave of his hand, the deputy brigade leader ran back to the brigade office to call the town’s police station.

Coincidentally, the police were already nearby handling another case, so they arrived in just a few minutes.

The officers worked efficiently—Sheng Fuqiang’s entire family was taken away!

Since Sheng Chunxiang’s family were witnesses, they had to go as well.

Sheng Chunxiang: “Brigade leader, without your guidance, I wouldn’t have discovered this. You should come with us.”

It was just a small favor—why not make the most of it?

The brigade leader was overwhelmed with emotion. This Sheng Chunxiang was worth associating with—when she had something good, she truly thought of him.

The whole village was thrown into turmoil.

“Sheng Fuqiang was actually an enemy spy?! Anyone who associated with his family is doomed!”

“Sheng Chunxiang has really made something of herself! People from Forty-Nine City are different, after all.”

“The man who came back with her must be her fiancé—he looks amazing, and his family must be well-off. Sheng Fugui’s finally getting his lucky break.”

…

The educated youth who had come with the brigade leader looked grim as he slunk back to the educated youth dormitory.

He had noticed something—Sheng Chunxia seemed… no longer stupid.

In fact, when she looked at him, her eyes were filled with hostility.

Had she… remembered something?

Would she take revenge on him?

Fear crept up his spine.

In just a few more months, he could return to the city. If he got stuck here because of this, he would be doomed.

That afternoon, the Sheng family returned.

The brigade leader spread the news.

The fate of an enemy spy? Execution!

The villagers collectively gasped.

Sheng Fuqiang and his wicked family had finally gotten their retribution!

Sheng Chunxiang asked the brigade leader for a letter of introduction, asking him to help sell the house—they planned to return to Forty-Nine City that very night.

During this time, traveling required an introduction letter; without it, one couldn’t go anywhere.

The brigade leader even gave Sheng Chunxiang a fifty-yuan red envelope as a token of appreciation.

If not for her putting in a good word for him, he wouldn’t have gotten such a major achievement.

Back at home, Sheng Chunxiang strolled around the yard.

She discreetly collected anything valuable into her space.

To her surprise, she could see five large trunks buried underground, all filled with treasures!

Since no one was around, she stashed them all.

Then she realized—did she have X-ray vision?!

She tried looking at other things, but the ability didn’t seem to work.

She figured it must be because she hadn’t drunk enough spiritual spring water. She’d have to drink more when she got back.

They had too many things to bring—pots, pans, even a large iron wok!

Sheng Chunxiang: “We’ll just mail everything back to Four-Nine City. There are thieves on the train…”

There really were thieves on the train—she wasn’t just making it up.

On the way here, she had already shot quite a few sharp glances at them.

Since the family had never traveled far in their entire lives, they simply listened to whatever she said and obediently followed her instructions.

Pei Qingyuan had returned in a small minivan. By now, it was already afternoon, and there were no more buses heading to the city.

With his supernatural abilities and the little bit of cleverness he had accumulated in his past life, he successfully hired the van for fifty yuan.

Sheng Chunxiang didn’t hold back her praise. “Qingyuan, you’re really capable!”

Pei Qingyuan had lost count of how many times his wife had praised him today. The fireworks in his heart were already bursting into bloom.

“Once we’re married, you’ll see—I’m even more capable!”

Especially in that aspect.

In his past life, he had been fooled by that wretched Lü Bichi, and he had died a virgin!

This time around, he was determined to seize the opportunity and put on a good performance.

Sheng Chunxiang, however, wasn’t thinking about anything inappropriate. After this experience, she found Pei Qingyuan more and more pleasing to the eye.

“Alright, I’ll be waiting.”

After making sure the whole family got into the van, Pei Qingyuan was already feeling a rush of excitement, his thoughts running wild.

As they left the village, many villagers came to see them off.

“Min Yuanyang is really lucky. She’s finally going to have a good life.”

“I heard Sheng Fuqiang’s whole family is going to be executed—men, women, and children, not a single one left. Serves them right!”

“Exactly! They tormented Sheng Fuqi all this time. They totally deserved it!”

…

Listening to their words, Sheng Chunxiang’s lips curled into a smile.

Opportunists and fair-weather people were everywhere. Not all country folks were simple and kind.

If the original owner of this body had returned and hadn’t helped the family get justice, these people definitely wouldn’t be talking like this.

That male educated youth kept staring at Sheng Chunxia, his gaze burning with desire.

Sheng Chunxiang noticed it. Earlier, at the police station, her eldest sister had reported someone—it was probably him.

It was said that his family was from Four-Nine City. If they met again, she would make sure to deal with him properly!

The van drove off. Looking at the Sheng family, Pei Qingyuan couldn’t help but think about his past life.

Why had he been such a bleeding heart?

Before meeting Lü Bichi, he had clearly been a selfish, arrogant playboy.

But after meeting her, he lost all reason.

If he had just used a bit of his brain back then, his ending wouldn’t have been so miserable.

By nightfall, they had boarded the train.

Pei Qingyuan had bought the tickets and prepared food. After eating their fill, everyone climbed into their bunks and quickly fell asleep.

This time, they were taking a slow green train. It was very slow.

After a good night’s sleep, they would arrive in Four-Nine City the next morning.

However, some people couldn’t sleep at all.

Four-Nine City, People’s Hospital

Qian Meili had found Li Jianjian and told him the news brought by her eldest brother.

Tears of guilt streamed down her face. “Jianjian, I’m so sorry… This is all my fault. If I hadn’t been so impatient, Chunxiang wouldn’t have gotten so angry.”

“She’s even planning to marry Pei Qingyuan. This… this is ridiculous! Pei Qingyuan is just a spoiled playboy. Anyone who marries him will have a miserable life!”

But Li Jianjian simply chuckled. “Meili, don’t be upset. Sheng Chunxiang is just throwing a tantrum—this has nothing to do with you.”

“She wants to marry Pei Qingyuan? Heh… Meili, you must have forgotten—she’s my lapdog.”

“You’ve heard the saying, right? A dog can’t change its habit of eating shit!“

He firmly believed that Sheng Chunxiang was just acting up.

She had returned to her hometown, but her family would never approve.

After all, country folk valued honesty and stability. They liked men like him—steady and dependable.

Pei Qingyuan? He was nothing.

Anyone with eyes could tell at a glance that Pei Qingyuan was bad news.

Hearing his words, Qian Meili finally relaxed.

“Jianjian, you’re much wiser than me. I’ll listen to you.”

Sheng Chunxiang, that lapdog, must have been led astray by some bad idea.

But so what?

The moment Li Jianjian stepped in, Sheng Chunxiang wouldn’t be able to look away.

If Li Jianjian could keep controlling her, her family would be able to benefit from it too.

“Oh, right! Jianjian, your mother’s birthday is coming up in a few days. Do you think Sheng Chunxiang will still come?”
