Chapter 288 Karma
The desk lamp in the small villa illuminated almost the entire night. Song Tingnan held a pen tightly in her hand, meticulously working out math problems and repeatedly reciting tedious words and phrases. Even though her eyes were already dark, she was reluctant to rest, all for the sake of getting into the university of her dreams.
Gao Haoran looked at Ting Nan, who was working hard, and wanted to help her relax a bit, to balance work and rest. But Ting Nan refused; she felt a sense of urgency about time.
Song Yanchu raised an eyebrow and whispered in Ting Nan's ear, "Want to go get a sack?"
Song Tingnan was taken aback and immediately put down her pen. "Go? Where? Who?"
Then, the three of them took action while Ning Xueyan was asleep. Then, the Ning family's house was haunted all night.
Ning Tianbao, Ning Tianqi, Hou Guoguo, Ma Xiaolan, including Ning's father hiding in the factory and the lame pig-headed man, were all taken care of by 'Ning's mother'. They were all terrified and beaten until their bones were broken.
The Ning family was filled with wailing and howling all night, but not a single neighbor came out to check on them, which showed how unpopular they were. The neighbors said that good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and one should not be too cruel.
Ning Lingling went to bed early and slept soundly. 'Grandma' was great; she didn't disturb her while she was taking revenge.
Taking advantage of the Ning family's predicament, Ning Xueyan sold the house and quit her job.
Thanks to Master Cao for taking care of her over the past two years, Master Cao talked to her about the current plight of the Ning family—Ning Tianbao is so afraid of being alone that he's almost going crazy. Ning Tianqi and Ma Xiaolan are arguing about getting a divorce, saying it was all her idea that provoked Ning's mother. Ning's father was reprimanded by the factory leaders for failing to raise his son properly, and was told he could only come to work after settling his family affairs; he was kicked out of the factory.
Ning Xueyan scoffed at this, thinking that her two younger brothers were truly useless and lacked any sense of manhood.
She said calmly, "They lost their arms and legs because they committed evil deeds first, which led to the consequences. This is karma, and they deserved it."
Love can breed hatred, and Ning Xueyan was no longer moved by them. She had thought it through: she would leave this place and start afresh, and she trusted Gao Haoran.
After Gao Haoran and Ning Xueyan obtained their marriage certificate, they returned to Yunxiang County. Most people warmly welcomed them, helped prepare a grand wedding, and blessed the couple who had gone through so much hardship.
A spring rain brings forth new greenery. The willows and poplars that have sprouted without us even realizing it will steadily reveal their green spring attire after being watered by the rain.
Several months passed, and the two were still inseparable after their marriage. Ning Xueyan experienced the taste of 'love', but she found it difficult to resist at night. She had once thought she would be frigid, but it turned out she just hadn't met the right person yet.
Ning Xueyan experienced unprecedented happiness in her ordinary life. She loved her home on the mountaintop; Gao Haoran would take her to practice tai chi in the mornings and for walks in the evenings.
In the room, she had more and more things. Gao Haoran really loved her. Whenever he went out, he would always buy a lot of things. He wanted to make up for everything she had lacked before. He loved her as a wife and spoiled her as a daughter.
As for Gao Haoran? It was like an old house catching fire; all the energy he had stored up over the decades was released without reservation.
Some say that men are like explorers, always harboring a strong desire for the unknown in women, driven by a sense of novelty. But once they've won them over, they don't cherish them after marriage.
Gao Haoran, however, became increasingly attracted to Ning Xueyan, wishing he could be with her all the time. He would rush home as soon as he finished his errands. Li Yang was truly exasperated and could only continue to act as his laborer.
Although Ning Xueyan and her friends lived on the mountaintop, the kind-hearted villagers, worried that she might not be used to the place since she was new, would come over in groups of three or five to sit and introduce her to the village. When Gao Haoran was not at home, he would also take her for a walk around the village.
Of course, there are always some people who are just sour grapes, saying that Gao Haoran, such a great hero, ended up with such a woman who is neither talented nor beautiful. They wonder what kind of bewitching magic she used to make this seven-foot-tall man run around for her.
Many people had tried to set him up, but Gao Haoran had no interest in it and ignored them all, so he never went on any dates. It was fortunate that he didn't go on any dates, otherwise there would have been many devoted women who were "let down" by him.
Gao Haoran told Ning Xueyan not to feel pressured and not to care what others said. He didn't care at all if others laughed at him for being 'henpecked'.
It takes a thousand years of cultivation to share a pillow with someone, so naturally he should cherish it. He finally married a wife he was happy with, so he couldn't let anyone bully her, and he didn't believe that "a good man doesn't fight with a woman."
Hearing more and more gossip around him, Gao Haoran accelerated the renovation of his house in the county town while personally confronting those gossipy old women. His love was beyond question.
