80s: The Rough Villain's Beautiful Wife is Reborn

Chapter 182 Psychological shadow
In Du Juan’s last defamation case, both defendants admitted their mistakes in court and expressed their acceptance of punishment.

The court ordered them to apologize in the newspaper, the newspaper's license was revoked, and the Du family was fined.

Although they accepted the punishment, the old couple of the Du family simply could not afford the money, so from time to time they would ask the driver from the town to bring some agricultural products to pay off the debt.

Du Juan just didn't want the two to continue to cause trouble for her. She wanted to learn a lesson, so the things didn't matter.

But since it was delivered to her, she accepted it with peace of mind and made a pot of mung bean soup in the afternoon to cool off.

The next day, Shang Xiaojun put aside all his work and accompanied Shang Rong to the village to visit the graves.

Before leaving, he told Du Juan to stay at home and not to wander around, and to use a loudspeaker to call for help if anything happened.

Ever since Hu Dong's brothers opened a franchise store in the nearby market, Shang Xiaojun got a small battery-powered loudspeaker from somewhere and placed it at home. When he is not at home, if anything happens, Du Juan and Shang Rong can use the small loudspeaker to call for help from the wall.

In fact, with Xiao Hei at home and neighbors watching over us, as long as we don’t go out, there will basically be no problem with safety.

It takes about 40 minutes by motorcycle to get from the merchant's yard to the village. The round trip, including tomb sweeping, will take at least three to four hours.

After Shang Xiaojun took Shang Rong away, Du Juan has been making small quilts at home.

The baby will be born in about three months. It will be autumn and winter then, so I need to prepare more clothes.

After ten o'clock in the morning, the owner of the chicken shop in the market came and gave Du Juan a freshly slaughtered chicken and some vegetables she grew at home.

Ever since he knew Du Juan was pregnant, Shang Xiaojun ordered chickens from the boss in the market, and had one delivered every two days, slaughtered and prepared before bringing them over.

The boss knew that they were going to the provincial capital, and thinking about the business he had taken care of for so long, he brought some dishes.

Du Juan thanked the proprietress, got the chicken, went to the kitchen to clean it up, and stewed it with red dates and lentils.

After she stewed the chicken, she washed the pot and steamed the rice, then cleaned the vegetables she was going to stir-fry later, thinking that she would be able to cook and eat as soon as Shang Xiaojun and Shang Rong came back.

But she waited and waited, and it was almost twelve o'clock, and the mother and son still hadn't returned.

"Why so long?"

Du Juan was a little puzzled and began to worry whether something had happened to the two of them.

In order to calm herself down, she sat under the eaves and started making a small quilt for her son. However, before she could sew a few strokes, the needle somehow pricked her finger and made it bleed.

Du Juan's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the blood oozing out of her fingertips, she didn't bother to deal with it. She put down her things and ran out of the yard.

At this moment, her heart was pounding and she had a very bad premonition.

Du Juan went to the public telephone booth across the street. She was lucky as there was no one in line in front of the phone. She picked up the phone and called the transport team.

In this day and age there are no mobile phones and the village has no telephone, so it is really difficult to find someone.

Du Juan could only check the transport team to see if there was any news about Shang Xiaojun, or to see if Fu Bo was there and ask him to go out and look for him.

The call was answered by the operator at the transport team.

When the operator heard that it was the boss's wife who wanted to see the boss, he said, "Sister-in-law, our car had an accident earlier, and Jun brought people over."

There was an accident with the car!

Du Juan: "What happened?"

"It seems like I hit someone."

Du Juan: "Where and when did the accident happen?"

"It was a little after nine in the morning. Brother Bo was here. He said he wanted to ask Brother Jun to go over and check on the situation. They should have gone there. The place is not far away, just over at Yuanqiao Town..."

Du Juan could hardly hear what was said afterwards.

Shang Xiaojun went to deal with the accident, which means Shang Rong was alone in the village.

Although there were some relatives of the businessmen in the village, Du Juan still felt cold in her heart.

She remembered what happened to Xie Simei who jumped off the bridge a few days ago.

In this life, Xie Simei's fate changed a lot, but due to various reasons, she still experienced a life-and-death crisis.

Then, what about Shang Rong who died in the previous life? Will she also repeat the fate of the previous life due to some coincidences?

What's more, Du Juan still doesn't know how she died in her previous life, but she just feels that it is related to Shang Zhenchuan.

The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became.

Du Juan hung up the phone and called the factory again.

She wants to find Hu Dong.

Hu Dong was at the factory receiving staff who came to inspect hygiene today, and did not go out to inspect the stores. He just happened to be here.

Du Juan said, "Take two people and find a car. Don't worry about the money, just find a fast one. I'm going to the station now, and we'll meet there."

Hu Dong was a little confused.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Du Juan wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I don't know either. It's hard to explain over the phone. Let's talk about it when we meet."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Du Juan paid the money and went straight to the station without going home.

They are not far from the station and there is a direct bus, but it takes about ten minutes to wait for the bus.

If she rode a bike, it would be more convenient, but her belly was big now and she was very anxious and afraid of accidents, so it would be safer to take a car.

Fortunately, the car came over soon.

Cars of that era didn't have air conditioning, so in the summer, with so many people inside, it was extremely hot and stuffy.

After Du Juan went up, sweat started dripping down her face.

Someone saw that she was pregnant and gave her a window seat.

Du Juan sat down and opened the window, and finally felt a little more comfortable.

Only then did she feel her heart beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest.

And the baby in her belly seemed to feel her emotions and was also making a fuss.

This won't do, she needs to calm down as soon as possible.

Du Juan took a deep breath, following the air in her chest.

The auntie sitting next to her asked with concern, "Comrade, are you okay?"

Du Juan shook her head, "Thank you, I'm fine."

The aunt asked again: "Where are you going at noon? Have you eaten yet?"

Du Juan: "My mother has returned to the countryside. I'll go pick her up."

"You are quite filial, running out even with a big belly..."

The two of them started chatting back and forth.

With an old lady chatting with her, Du Juan gradually calmed down.

In fact, she didn't know whether Shang Rong was okay or not, she just had this hunch.

The mother and son went out together in the morning, and the accident with the convoy happened after nine o'clock. By then, the two must have reached the village.

Even if Shang Xiaojun wanted to leave, he would ask someone to keep a good eye on Shang Rong.

Du Juan thought that perhaps all this was because she was overwhelmed by the heavy shadow in her heart and thought too much.

Of course, no matter what, she had to go over and confirm it. If nothing happened, that was a good thing. If there was something wrong...

Du Juan didn't dare to think about it. Her heart was beating too fast and she was afraid that the baby in her belly couldn't bear it.
