Chapter 350: Chapter 338 Going into Business

The next day, Yang Banmei still got up at dawn, packed up her things, and took a thermos filled with congee and a boiled egg on the shuttle bus to the county hospital.

...

A few days later, Chen Qiuyu was brought back to Yushu Village by the Niu family, pridefully content with how she had used her "foresight" to change her fate from being abandoned in the hospital and having to gnaw on corn cakes in her previous life.

In contrast to her smugness, Niu Shan wished he could just hack her to pieces, but he didn’t have the guts to act on it. He couldn’t bear to trade his own life for Chen Qiuyu’s, so he hid away, out of sight out of mind.

Yang Banmei loathed Chen Qiuyu so much her teeth itched. During those days in the hospital, under the scornful and "knowing" stares of those around her, time passed painfully slowly. And Chen Qiuyu did not refrain from showing her two-faced nature to the extreme.

In front of others, she put on the guise of a compliant and submissive wife, frequently tearing up and using her pitiable appearance to garner sympathy, which led the patients and their families to criticize Yang Banmei for not being there to care for her, accusing her of acting high and mighty instead.

This left Yang Banmei, who Chen Qiuyu ordered about non-stop, in a constant state of wanting to explode but being unable to do so.

Finally returning home, and thinking she could catch her breath, she found, to her dismay, that her foolish son, Niu Dazhuang, had done an about-turn in his attitude towards Chen Qiuyu. He even cried to her, saying things like, "It’s our family who has wronged you...".

Then her nightmare continued as that wretched Chen Qiuyu brought her hospital act home, pretending to sob to her son, "In this life we are fated but not destined; let us continue our relationship in the next life."

Yang Banmei’s skin crawled, and she had a bad feeling. Sure enough, from that day on, her son began to show disgust at her for not taking proper care of Chen Qiuyu. The prior agreement of providing a chicken every three days turned into slaughtering one every two days. Besides chickens, her foolish son also bought nutritional supplements and various fish and meats to help that wretch recuperate.

The result of these actions was to directly draw the Chen family, a pair of locusts, to their door. On their first visit, they emptied the pot of chicken soup prepared for Chen Qiuyu without leaving a single drop for their own daughter.

After eating, they even wanted to take away nutritional supplements bought by her son for Chen Qiuyu, claiming she couldn’t finish them.

Pah, even if she couldn’t finish them, it would be better to feed them to the pigs than to let them take advantage. She boldly snatched the items back.

Fortunately, this time Chen Qiuyu didn’t overstep, and even cooperated by crying and saying she was lucky to have such kind-hearted in-laws who did not truly abandon her, begging her parents to go back and not to come again. Otherwise, she could have ended up being kicked out for not recuperating properly.

Encouraged by these words, Yang Banmei found the resolve to keep those two locusts out, never allowing them to enter a second time.

It made her liver ache to think about it, but thankfully, in just over half a month, she wouldn’t have to serve this ancestor any longer--

Yang Banmei was secretly relieved, unable to wait for the month to pass so she could tell Chen Qiuyu to get divorced and kick her out.

Damn it, how had she not seen through Chen Qiuyu’s cunning ways before?

A month later, Chen Qiuyu kept her promise and quietly got a divorce from Niu Dazhuang. Then she disappeared with the one thousand yuan she had obtained from the Niu family.

The incident at the Niu household didn’t cause much of a stir in Yushu Village.

Most villagers treated it as a joke for a few days, then sighed about the largesse of the Niu family, who even went so far as to replenish their daughter-in-law’s health so devotedly, while it was the Chen family who had gone too far... and then they let it go.

Each household had plenty of its own issues to deal with—who had the time to dwell on the misfortunes of others every day?

So naturally, no one in Yushu Village specifically went out of their way to inform Lu Yun about any of this.

At this moment, Lu Yun could not have possibly imagined that another person with a similar experience to hers had quietly emerged in the world, and that this person would even have a certain impact on those around her in the future.

--

In an uninhabited island somewhere in the South Sea.

After setting down Shitou, Lu Yun, several guard personnel, and various materials, the helicopter did not linger for long and soon ascended into the sky and left.

The group looked around and chose a suitable place to start moving their things. The guard personnel began to quickly set up a temporary camp.

After giving instructions, Lu Yun and Shitou, carrying the bags with the undersea protective suits, climbed up the highest cliff on the small island, facing the gusting sea breeze as they gazed into the distance.

Surrounding them was an endless expanse of ocean, the azure water rolling wave after wave, tossing up spray like mischievous children chasing and frolicking.

"This island is the closest to the ’Cosmic Spaceship,’ so descending from here is most appropriate. According to their explanation, we need to dive 13,000 meters, where there’s an undersea valley – the spaceship is parked there. Our goal today is to scout the path," Shitou said, looking downward, where he could see the waves striking the rocks below, sending up splashes of white foam.

"Then let’s hurry down, I can hardly wait. What do you think, if we could bring the spaceship into our space after we get down there?" Lu Yun asked.

Lu Yun also looked down into the depths, where the dark sea surface revealed nothing of the ocean floor 13,000 meters below, and even with the use of spiritual power, it was impossible to see.

"I’m afraid that won’t work, have you forgotten the spaceship is shielded?" Shitou reminded her.

"Alright, guess I was overthinking it," Lu Yun pouted. "Let’s go down and see the situation first, and then decide based on what we find."

Shitou couldn’t help but smile at Lu Yun’s words, taking her hand and walking toward a nearby boulder, "Let’s go over there and put on our protective suits first."

Lu Yun had Shitou pack up the protective suit that had been worn before from the luggage bag, then took out an identical set for Shitou, and quickly pulled out another suit of a different color for herself, slipping it on over her clothes.

The two, now wearing their protective suits, took the Elixir and returned to the cliff top, hand in hand, leaping straight down.

Upon their entry into the water, a splash rose from the surface, which quickly calmed. As they dove deeper, they occasionally saw an array of marine life—waving seaweed, beautiful coral reefs, colorful fishes of unknown names, sea cucumbers, oysters, various clams, shells...

The dazzling variety of the undersea world was far more beautiful than one could imagine, utterly mesmerizing.

Lu Yun was extremely excited, rejecting nothing that came her way, and took a portion of everything she saw into her own space.

Her enthusiastic collecting had a direct result, which was the slowing down of their pace.
