Chapter 1: The Toilet's Strange Fate

  Luo Xiaotong was also a lucky one, graduating at the right time. The country's policy of assigning jobs to university students was in its final year. However, being lucky also meant being unlucky, as it was the last batch, and the government's intention was that if you could find a receiving unit on your own, they would assign you a job and give you a career position. Otherwise, you had to wait. This method had many advantages: first, it tested whether graduates had any talent; if you were talented, you would easily find a work unit. However, people with exceptional talent were in the minority, and even if you were talented, what could you do? In this era, there were connoisseurs who believed that discovering a thousand-mile horse required effort and sacrifice. Therefore, a thousand-mile horse had to repay them somehow; otherwise, the connoisseur would not consider you a thousand-mile horse. The second point was that you needed someone, someone willing to help you. This point seemed similar to the first, but there was still a difference: as long as you had someone, you could solve your job problem without spending money.

  Unfortunately, Luo Xiaotong's parents were farmers and had no savings to support his education. Therefore, spending money to find a job was out of the question. Moreover, the Luo family had been single-handedly passed down for generations, and their ancestral grave did not have good feng shui, so for several generations, they made a living by farming and never achieved anything remarkable. So, it was also impossible to rely on personal connections for help. As a result, Luo Xiaotong could only wait. Wait until those with money and connections found jobs, and finally, the high-ranking officials would give him a job out of policy considerations.

  In the second month after Luo Xiaotong graduated, his father Luo Huan's god-sister was having a wedding at her home, with her son getting married. The father and this god-sister had a very good relationship, they were lovers before marriage, but because of the father's poor family background, the god-sister's parents strongly disagreed. At that time, parental orders and matchmaker's words were very important. There was no way out, so the two people could only painfully part ways, losing the chance to grow old together for a lifetime. However, after both got married, their relationship remained very good. The two families often visited each other, as if they were close siblings.

  So his sister's family was having a wedding, and Luo Huan had to go. Moreover, he also wanted his son to go. At first, Luo Xiaotong didn't want to go, but seeing his father's persistence, thinking of his father's kindness, not wanting to make his father angry, he could only go.

  Luo Huan's sister-in-law, whose surname is Shen, has a beautiful name called Shen Qian. Although she is already in her forties, she still looks very pretty and has a lingering charm. If you didn't know her age, you would definitely believe she was thirty years old. As for the arrival of her brother-in-law, Shen Qian was naturally delighted. Despite being busy with Zhang Luo's wedding preparations, she still took out time to chat with Luo Huan for a long time.

  After Luo Xiaotong greeted the beautiful aunt, he strolled around the courtyard alone with nothing to do. Because it was the day before the wedding, there were only helpers in the courtyard, men and women either working or chatting. Luo Xiaotong didn't know them, and they naturally didn't know who Luo Xiaotong was, so everyone acted as if they hadn't seen each other, continuing to do their own things.

  Shen Qian's husband was a decorator, and this year the city was undergoing construction and development, with reforms and opening-up proceeding in full swing. As a result, these decorators became highly sought after, with extremely high incomes, so even a small house could be decorated to look luxurious. Luo Xiaotong thought to herself that it would be great if she could live in such a place. However, this was just a thought, and thinking about it was still possible. At this time, everyone hoped to live in a beautiful environment, and since it was impossible to achieve this wish, thinking about it could at least make her feel better.

  As Luo Xiaotong walked past the corner of the wall, he saw a house in front of him that was over 20 square meters in size and thought it was some kind of storage room. He didn't expect that this aunt's family, who were not related by blood, would have a storage room that was even better than his own home, and he couldn't help but go take a look.

  When he opened the door of the warehouse, he was stunned. A woman was squatting there, and when she heard a strange noise, she suddenly raised her head, with surprise in her eyes. Seeing that it was a man, the woman had forgotten that her pants were slipping down to her buttocks, and immediately stood up. Luo Xiaotong immediately saw her fluffy *hair*. However, this was only an instant matter, and the woman soon felt that she had exposed places that should not be exposed, and quickly pulled up her pants with a red face. Before she even tied her belt, she angrily asked Luo Xiaotong: "What are you doing?"

  Lu Xiaotong was at a loss for words and stuttered: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't know this was the restroom."

  The woman had just finished tying her pants and took a serious look at Luo Xiaotong, feeling that she was not much younger than herself, and looked gentle and polite, not like someone who would intentionally intrude. Moreover, Luo Xiaotong was nervously apologizing and turning to leave, which made the anger in her heart dissipate a lot. She hurried up to talk to Luo Xiaotong.

  "You're not from this village, are you?"

  Lu Xiaotong nodded and said, "I'm from Beicun." After speaking, he lowered his head, still feeling a lingering sense of regret for his earlier recklessness. Seeing Lu Xiaotong's bashful appearance, the woman actually smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to feel bad about what happened earlier. I know it wasn't intentional." She stretched out her hand. Lu Xiaotong naturally understood that she wanted to shake hands with him. Being treated so magnanimously by someone he had accidentally seen in a private moment made Lu Xiaotong feel somewhat moved. Moreover, the woman standing before him was about his age and could be considered a standard beauty. Shaking hands with a beautiful woman was also a kind of enjoyment, so he grasped her hand very willingly. Of course, he didn't forget to introduce himself: "I'm Lu Xiaotong, what about you?"

  The beautiful woman's eyes gazed at Luo Xiaotong with a smile, and two pretty dimples appeared. She quickly replied: "Lang Siyu"

  The name sounds good, the name is like a person, it gives people a very comfortable feeling. The two people got to know each other in this special situation. Lang Siyu waited for Luo Xiaotong to ask, and then introduced his own situation. She was a villager here, Shen Qian's neighbor, saying that she was a neighbor, but actually not living very close, at least 200 meters away from here. She pointed with her hand to a place that couldn't be seen at all, saying that was her home. At this point, Lang Siyu lowered his voice and said: "Luo Xiaotong, can I ask you for something?"

  At their first meeting, Luo Xiaotong was taken aback and couldn't think of anything she could help her with, so she stared at her in surprise and said: "Don't say that, what can I possibly do to help you? But I'm curious, what do you want from me?"

  Lang Siyu's face turned red and said: "Don't tell others what you saw about my body."

  Lu Xiaotong understood as soon as he heard it. It turned out to be the case. He hastily replied, "Don't worry, I didn't see anything from the start! What would I say to others?"

  Lang Siyu smiled and said, "I also know that you haven't seen anything, I'm just reminding you. Because the first time I saw you, I had a good impression of you, this is a feeling I've never had before, so I don't want you to get hurt because of what you see in me."

  Lu Xiaotong was confused by her words, what did she mean? Did she see something unlucky? She wasn't a plague god, looking at such a beautiful woman could only be a pleasure. So I'm a bit curious: "What do you mean by this sentence?"

  At this time, someone walked by and spoke to Lang Siyu. After the two greeted each other, Lang Siyu waited for that person to leave before turning to Luo Xiaotong and saying: "You've heard of Bai Laowang, right?" Luo Xiaotong nodded; he had indeed heard of him. In town, Bai Laowang was quite famous, a big shot among the local thugs. Even the police officers at the station would give him some face. This wasn't anything out of the ordinary - in this era and society, that's just how things were. The police usually bullied ordinary citizens and got along with small-time hooligans, as long as they didn't cause too much trouble. And Bai Laowang was the leader of these small-time hooligans, so his status in town was naturally quite significant. But why did Lang Siyu bring up Bai Laowang? With this question in mind, Luo Xiaotong couldn't help but ask: "Do you know Bai Laowang?"

  Lang Siyu said, "Of course I do." She used the word "of course" when she spoke. Luo Xiaotong was a college student and naturally sensed something unusual, which piqued her curiosity: "Why say 'of course'? Is he your brother?" After saying this, she couldn't help but laugh awkwardly. No way, Lang Siyu's surname is Lang, while Bai Laowang's surname is Bai; unless they were distant relatives or something like that.

  Lang Siyu quickly untied the knot, saying: "I am his woman." As soon as these words came out, Luo Xiaotong was stunned. The feeling at that time was panic, and that kind of panic was simply fear after the fact. The woman in front of her was actually Bai Laowang's, and she said that she had seen Bai Laowang's woman's body. Those rascals didn't do good things all day, seeing who had a few points of charm in their family's women would think of ways to get them. But one's own woman was absolutely not allowed to be touched by others, otherwise, he would fight with you to the death. And yet, she had looked at places that shouldn't have been seen, which was simply fatal.

  But this idea did not show up, just pretending to be surprised and said: "So you're married?"

  "Of course," Lang Siyu said with a sly smile, "otherwise, how could she be called his woman?"

  "Isn't it too early to get married?" Luo Xiaotong was obviously flattering. His current idea is that no matter what, he wants to make this woman happy, so she might not mind his rudeness and won't tell Bai Laowang about the incident, and he won't have any trouble afterwards. This trick really worked, and Lang Siyu's smile blossomed. "You're good at talking, I'm still young, 25 years old." Luo Xiaotong continued: "Twenty-five? Doesn't look like it, not one bit, are you joking with me?"
