Fortunate Eighties: The Bewitching Female Rival Who Tamed Her Husband with Skill-Chapter 100 - Tragic Destiny

Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Tragic Destiny

Chapter 100 -100 Tragic Destiny

For various reasons, the relationship between the two deteriorated rapidly and finally ended in divorce.

Lu Xiaomei’s health also declined, and she eventually became despondent. She died young, not even reaching the age of 40, and her passing dealt a severe blow to Lu Family’s elderly parents; they fell ill and never recovered.

Susu’s heart pounded fiercely, worried about waking the man next to her. Clenching her fists tightly, she controlled her breathing until it became even again.

No! She couldn’t let Xiaomei suffer the tragic fate of her original story. She had to devise a plan to break the two of them up.

At the same time, she couldn’t let Xiaomei be too heartbroken; she had to think it over carefully.

All night her mind was cluttered with a mess of thoughts, all about Xiaomei’s latter half of life. It was almost dawn when Susu finally managed to fall asleep with great difficulty.

When she woke up in the morning, her eyes were bloodshot, and she felt dizzy and groggy; it was terribly uncomfortable.

“Mother, I feel a bit dizzy. I’ll sleep a bit more. Call me if An’an and Lele are hungry.”

“Fine, fine, you sleep. The kids have their mother and your Little Aunt.”

After a bit more sleep, Susu felt much more alert. Her head wasn’t as heavy, and her eyes weren’t sore anymore.

Her stomach, however, was growling, singing a vacant tune. She drank a bowl of barley essence and ate a couple of peach pastries to fill up.

Only then did she truly come back to life.

After feeding her son and daughter, she carefully recalled the original story’s plot concerning Xiaomei.

In the original story, Xiaomei and Huang Chengzu had a sweet romance that began in college and lasted all the way to their marriage after graduation.

The Huang Family’s parents and siblings were all farmers in their village, and they were overjoyed to learn that their son had found a girlfriend from the city. Whenever they met Xiaomei, they lavished her with praise, not sparing any compliments.

The Lu Family was also deceived by the Huang Family, who were good at putting on a show, and believed that they found a reasonable and understanding family for Xiaomei.

The young couple was assigned to a public service unit in Provincial City after graduation and became official employees. Their life was happy and fulfilling for the first half of the year.

Other than the occasional requests for favors from Huang Chengzu’s siblings, things were tolerable, and Xiaomei would bear it in silence.

Later, the Huang Family began pressuring them to have children. Xiaomei was under intense mental stress, but she remained childless. The Huangs made innuendos and sarcastic comments, implying that Xiaomei was like a hen that couldn’t lay eggs.

They also recommended various traditional remedies for Xiaomei to drink. Being soft-hearted by nature, she felt somewhat responsible for not being able to conceive after being badgered so much and complied with drinking all the unpleasant remedies.

As a result, her health deteriorated from these concoctions, while the Phoenix Man enjoyed the money and items from the Lu Family and impregnated another woman on the side.

The Lu Family immediately arranged for Xiaomei’s divorce upon finding out, stripping the Phoenix Man and his family bare, only just managing to get even.

Xiaomei’s health had suffered from all the traditional remedies, and she became despondent after the divorce. She left this world too soon, not even reaching 40.

Father Lu and Mrs. Lu were deeply affected, their hair turned white overnight, they fell ill, and eventually passed away one after another.

Thinking about Xiaomei’s tragic fate in the book made Susu tremble with anger, wishing she could beat the Phoenix Man to death.

Mrs. Lu was startled as she walked in, her face full of urgency. “What’s wrong, Susu? Why are you so upset? Did Lu Xiaoting upset you?”

“A woman should never get angry; it’s not good for your health. Don’t be mad, I’ll deal with Lu Xiaoting when he comes back,” Mrs. Lu reassured her, ready to discipline her son.

Susu took a deep breath. She certainly couldn’t reveal that she knew the future events from the book, so she had to pretend she had a nightmare.

Looking at her kindly-faced, smiling mother-in-law, Susu hesitated again and again before tentatively saying.

“Mother, would you like to hear about the nightmare I had?”

Mrs. Lu, finding her daughter-in-law as adorable as a child, smiled warmly and nodded. “Go ahead, I’m listening.”

Susu pursed her lips and said word by word, “Yesterday, I dreamt that Xiaomei found a partner, and the two of them settled down right after graduation.

After marrying, the husband’s family would frequently come to mooch off of them, and later she was pressured by her mother-in-faw to drink dubious remedies… her health was ruined, the man cheated and got another woman pregnant, and in the end… they divorced.”

Susu dared not mention that Xiaomei had passed away young, for fear that Mrs. Lu would be too distressed to handle it. After speaking, she carefully observed her mother-in-law’s expression.

Mrs. Lu’s brows furrowed into a deep frown, she sighed and comforted her daughter-in-law, “Don’t be scared; it’s just a dream. With your father-in-law and me around, we definitely won’t let Xiaomei marry into such a family.”

Susu was somewhat anxious, she couldn’t just say that was Xiaomei’s fate in a past life.

“Mom, I won’t hide it from you, Xiaomei just told me yesterday that she’s seeing someone, and then today I have this dream. My heart really doesn’t feel at ease.”

“What? She’s seeing someone?” Mrs. Lu was a bit anxious.

“Yes, and there’s an old saying, what one thinks during the day, one dreams at night. Maybe this dream is a warning for our family to keep a closer eye on Xiaomei.”

A sudden inspiration struck Susu, and she quickly said, “Isn’t Old Blind Man known for his accurate predictions? Why don’t we take their birth information to him for a reading?

If the fortune is good, we can be assured, but if it’s not… we can’t let Xiaomei jump into a pit of fire.”

Mrs. Lu nodded repeatedly, “Susu, you are right, we should definitely have it calculated.”

Seeing her mother-in-law treat the matter seriously, Susu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

That very afternoon, she carried things to the Provincial Finance College, relying on her memory of when she accompanied Xiaomei to enroll, and found Xiaomei’s dormitory.

“Knock knock knock.”

“Who is it? I’m coming.”

The door was opened by a trendy young girl who was startled upon seeing the visitor, “Hello, may I ask whom you are looking for?”

Susu revealed a standardized smile, “Hi, classmate, I’m looking for Lu Yuewan, I’m her sister-in-law. I’ve brought her some food.”

Qiao Nian glanced at the assorted fruits and pastries in the net bag, smiled, and stepped aside to clear the door.

“Sister-in-law, hello, I’m Qiao Nian, come on in and wait for Wanwan. She went to the library and should be back soon.”

“Hello, Qiao Nian.”

Susu followed inside, surveyed the dormitory which now appeared more lively and homely than the first time.

She placed the items on Xiaomei’s desk, “I’ll leave the things here, then. I should wait downstairs; there are kids waiting for me at home, I can’t be out for too long.”

Qiao Nian was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Wanwan’s sister-in-law to be so young and beautiful to already have children. She had thought she was a just-married young lady.

Susu had only waited a few minutes when she saw Xiaomei from a distance, chatting and laughing with a scholarly-looking male classmate as they walked toward the dormitory.

“Xiaomei.”

“Sis-in-law?”

Xiaomei hurried over, her face full of joy, “Sis-in-law, what brings you here?”

“I brought you some food, it’s all on your desk. Remember to share with your roommates.”

After Susu spoke, her gaze shifted to the clean-cut male student.

Huang Chengzu stood stiffly and managed to say, “Hello, sister-in-law.”

Susu responded coolly, with a polite nod, “Hello, classmate.”
