My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 94

Su Qixi was in a daze, trying to figure out the reason for Lin Mo’s sudden change, but she couldn’t get an answer and couldn’t be sure.

Meanwhile, Bai Jin, seeing that Su Qixi was in a daze, took over and asked Teacher Lin, “Do you remember who was involved in the fight with Lin Mo behind the school?”

The teacher smiled. She nodded and said, “I remember. I have the written reflections from everyone after that fight. Because the fight happened after they had already graduated from middle school, the school didn’t get involved much. I was their middle school teacher, and I stepped in to mediate. Asking them to write a reflection was just a small punishment.”

She remembered the scene at the time and couldn’t help but sigh. “Lin Mo must have been bullied really badly because she hit them very hard that day. Two of them had broken hands and were taken to the hospital. Luckily, it happened after the middle school entrance exam, or else this matter wouldn’t have been so easy to solve.”

With that, the teacher took out the reflection papers for Su Qixi to see. Su Qixi looked at each one on camera. It was simple. The reflections said that those people wanted to take Lin Mo to the back of the school to teach her a lesson, but Lin Mo fought back. These reflection papers indirectly became powerful evidence to prove that Lin Mo was only fighting back in the video.

So she didn’t bully them.

Oh my god, she was the one who was being bullied.

So the people who said she was a bully online were so shameless. What a bunch of jerks.

Heh, those people might be the bullies themselves. They’re thick-skinned and would say anything. They even blamed it on Lin Mo.

With the teacher’s attitude and the reflection papers, the viewers easily accepted the fact that Lin Mo had been wronged. And the related hot search naturally went up. But it wasn’t as popular as the previous hot search that had wronged Lin Mo. They say it only takes one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a thousand miles to run away from it. Now that so many days had passed, most people weren’t paying attention to this matter anymore. Fortunately, the live stream was popular, and with the Qilin fans’ efforts, the hot search slowly climbed up.

On the other side, as Su Qixi and Bai Jin walked out of the school, they were still thinking about the teacher’s words. The teacher said that Lin Mo’s life had been very hard.

Su Qixi asked the teacher in a daze, “How hard was it?”

The teacher said that when Lin Mo was in Grade 7, her grandfather brought her to register. The tuition and miscellaneous fees were a total of 80-something yuan. Her grandfather used a stack of small bills, all 50 cents and 1 yuan, to pay for the fees. After working so hard to register, she couldn’t live a peaceful life at school.

Then, they got Lin Mo’s address in Dingma Village from the teacher. Because it was already noon, she and Bai Jin ate lunch before taking a taxi to Dingma Village. You could tell from the name that Dingma Village was very close to Dingma Town. It took less than five minutes to get there by car.

Because of the new rural development policy that the country had implemented in the past two years, Dingma Village was no longer as poor, ruined, and dilapidated as it used to be. Instead, it had become picturesque and beautiful. The concrete roads were newly paved, there were trash cans every so often on the side of the road, and the houses were mostly renovated. Even the old houses had been painted with white walls and green tiles, making them look even more poetic and artistic.

There were also small paths from the main road that extended to the houses in the village. As they walked down the small path, their view widened, and they saw a beautiful landscape of lakes, mountains, and dense bamboo forests.

Bai Jin’s camera was following Su Qixi, and the viewers couldn’t help but sigh. Dingma Village is surprisingly beautiful!

It looks so suitable for retirement!

Wake up, up there. People like us who can’t live without our phones and order takeout every day aren’t suitable for this kind of meticulous life. You can’t even get takeout here.

I think it’s great. When you get old, you can wake up early and plant some vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks in the countryside. It’s so leisurely.

Su Qixi couldn’t see these comments. Based on the address the teacher gave her, she was looking for Lin Mo’s hometown, House No. 21 in Dingma Village. The house numbers in the countryside weren’t in order. Some of the numbers were out of sequence, so it wasn’t easy to find.

After walking through the bamboo forest, they saw a small playground. It was probably for the elderly to relax and take walks. Many elderly people were sitting on the stone benches, sunbathing and chatting. When they saw Su Qixi and Bai Jin coming, all the elderly people on the playground became quiet and looked at them curiously. In this kind of village, everyone had been neighbors for decades. Even if they didn’t know each other’s names, they would at least know their faces. Strangers like Su Qixi and Bai Jin would be easily identified as outsiders.

“Who are you looking for?” an old woman asked with a local accent.

Su Qixi smiled and walked over. She greeted them, “Hello, my name is Su Qixi.”

The old woman praised her. “What a beautiful young lady!”

“So pretty.”

“Are you married?”

The elderly people didn’t recognize Su Qixi. When they suddenly saw such a beautiful girl here, they even thought about setting her up. Su Qixi didn’t think it was rude. She smiled widely and said, “I have a partner.”

Hehe, is she talking about Lin Mo?

She must be.

Perhaps because of the twist in the bullying story, Lin Mo’s reputation suddenly got a lot better. And because Su Qixi had always insisted that she and Lin Mo were still a couple, the viewers had gotten used to it.

“Oh, that’s a shame! So, little sister, why are you here? I don’t think you’re from our village,” an old woman with silver hair asked.

Su Qixi nodded. “I’m not from here. I’m here to find someone. Do you know Lin Mo?”

The elderly people looked at each other with confusion and then shook their heads.

Su Qixi: “…”

Bai Jin: “…”

…

Looking at the old people’s sincere eyes, it seemed they weren’t joking.

Su Qixi choked up and asked again, “Do you know where House No. 21 is?”

The elderly people looked at each other again and then shook their heads.

Su Qixi: “…”

Bai Jin: “…”

…Are they even from here?

Su Qixi and Bai Jin were both stunned. They asked in confusion, “That doesn’t make sense! Teacher Lin didn’t lie to us, did she?”

Fortunately, someone in the comments guessed, This is like how young people don’t know the older generations in the village. The elderly probably don’t know the young people by name, but they would definitely recognize their faces if they saw them.

That’s true. When I go back home, they always ask me if I’m Can Ge’s kid.

And the houses, the numbers were added later. The elderly people wouldn’t remember them. They remember locations by the surrounding environment. They mostly use the owner’s name to identify a house.

Bai Jin showed the comments to Su Qixi, who suddenly understood. It must be like this. Fortunately, before they left, the teacher had written down Lin Mo’s information for her. Su Qixi took it out and looked at it. Teacher Lin had even thoughtfully written down Lin Mo’s grandfather’s name: Lin Ze.

Su Qixi asked the elderly people again, “Do you know Lin Ze?”

“Oh~” The old people finally understood and said, “You’re looking for Old Man Lin Ze? He passed away many years ago.”

Su Qixi smiled and said, “I’m a friend of his granddaughter. I’m here to find his granddaughter.”

The old people made a sound, clearly knowing who she was talking about. They looked Su Qixi up and down and asked, “Are you talking about Momo? We haven’t seen her in many years, have we?” The old woman’s memory was bad, so after she said that, she turned to her friend to confirm.

Another old woman nodded. “Yes, yes, she moved to the county to rent a house for school. She hasn’t come back since.”

Another old woman tugged on her hand and said, “She did come back. Did you forget? Momo came back once after her college entrance exam.”

“Did she come back? Let me think? I think she came back for a few days. Hahaha.”

Su Qixi was shocked. Her mind went blank. She asked with a trembling voice, “She came here after graduating from high school?” She had looked everywhere, but she had never looked for Lin Mo here. Su Qixi was so confused. Why hadn’t she thought of looking for her here?

“That’s right! Her father sold her house, and she came back to deal with it. Oh, Momo has changed so much! Before she went to high school, she was so dumb. School really does make people smart.”

Su Qixi listened to the information they were unintentionally revealing and thought it was a good opportunity. So, she sat down next to them. “Momo is working outside now. Her parents came looking for her and scolded her for being unfilial. But Momo didn’t pay attention to them. Do you know what’s going on?”

The silver-haired woman exclaimed, “Momo’s father came to her?” After exclaiming, she showed a look of contempt and said, “How shameless.”

Su Qixi’s heart sank. There was a problem, as expected.

Bai Jin quickly aimed the live stream camera at the old people. This was the first hot search that ruined Lin Mo’s reputation! Ever since they found out that slandering Lin Mo could get them money, her parents were still slandering her online.

??? It looks like something’s going on!

Oh my god, is this also going to be a twist?

Bullying and unfilialness. If both of these are twists, then why was Lin Mo harassed online all this time? It’s so unfair!

I told you! Lin Mo seems so gentle. How could she have such a terrible reputation? She must have been framed!

That’s right! She was so popular during that time! She was obviously being attacked by capitalists.

Exactly, those internet trolls are so obvious.

Even though the truth wasn’t clear yet, the old people’s attitude toward Lin Mo’s father already gave a good indication. This was the same as this morning at school. When they talked about the hot search of Lin Mo beating people, the teacher’s attitude was clearly on Lin Mo’s side. She had even prepared the evidence a long time ago. It was clear that she had been waiting for someone to come and ask. But the reporters were too lazy to investigate and didn’t even come here. After all, the news of Lin Mo using her relationship with Su Qixi to get a loan came out, which overshadowed the previous hot search. So, no one went to find out the truth. But the truth could have been easily found with just a simple interview. If Su Qixi hadn’t come here, would Lin Mo have been wronged for the rest of her life?

This is so sad. Only Su Su came here for Lin Mo.

If Su Su hadn’t insisted, would Lin Mo have been slandered for the rest of her life?

Su Qixi: “Excuse me, what’s going on with Momo and her parents?” She was afraid that the old people wouldn’t explain clearly, so she pointed at Bai Jin and said, “We’re here to help Momo. Her father is ruining her reputation outside. We are Momo’s friends, and we don’t believe she’s that kind of person. That’s why we came here.”

The old woman smiled and held Su Qixi’s hand. “That’s so great! Momo has a friend like you. No one knows Momo’s story better than us old ladies.”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

The old people, one after another, slowly unfolded Lin Mo’s life in front of everyone.

Little Momo’s parents got married through a blind date in the village. They didn’t love each other and could be said to be enemies. But even so, they had Lin Mo. But in order not to be tied down by a child, they left Lin Mo with her grandparents and went to work in another city. But because their relationship was bad, they went to two different places. They never sent any money back, and Lin Mo was raised by her grandparents. Lin Mo was born a little slow. She was very quiet as a baby and didn’t talk until she was three. Her grandparents loved her very much and always said that their granddaughter was so well-behaved because she cared for them.

Unfortunately, when Lin Mo was three years old, her parents, even though they hadn’t seen each other, had found new lovers. Their marriage had come to an end, and they came back to get a divorce. Lin Mo was like a football, kicked back and forth between them. In the end, her grandparents couldn’t bear to let her go and took her in. After the couple divorced, they left again. So, Lin Mo grew up with her grandparents. The older Lin Mo got, the more she realized that she was different from her peers. She was a bit slow and dull. But she was a filial, well-behaved, and diligent person. When she was at home, she would help her grandparents with chores, and even with farming. She never complained about her life, and even when her grandparents were struggling, she never felt unfortunate.

But she was truly unfortunate. When she was in Grade 3, her grandmother fell into a ditch and no one found her. She passed away. When she was in Grade 8, her grandfather passed away from an illness. By the time she was in Grade 9, Lin Mo was all alone.

The old woman, with her aged voice and the weight of time, slowly revealed Lin Mo’s past. It struck Su Qixi’s heart. Even so, she was already starting to doubt if the Lin Mo from before middle school was her Lin Mo?

“That child was so bitter! The tuition fees for school were all earned by her grandparents from farming and picking up trash. Then I heard that she was bullied in middle school. Old Man Lin Ze went to the school to ask for an explanation, but it wasn’t much use. The school didn’t want to keep Momo. The principal told him to take Momo home. Old Man Lin Ze didn’t want Momo to come back and farm, so he had to come back with his tail between his legs.”

Bai Jin was shocked. “What did he say? It’s a 9-year compulsory education. How can he tell her to go home?”

The old woman didn’t know what compulsory education was. She only said, “He’s the principal!” At school, the principal was the boss.

Su Qixi didn’t get too hung up on this. It was in the past, and she couldn’t find the people from back then to right the wrong. Su Qixi asked, “So, she lived alone after she was in Grade 8?”

The old woman pointed to the half-collapsed house behind the bamboo forest. “That’s right! That’s the house. Old Man Lin Ze told the village chief that the house would be Momo’s before he left.”

The old woman didn’t have a will, but the village land was managed by the village chief. So, he made arrangements for his inheritance with the village chief. Actually, he didn’t have much to inherit, just this house and a few pieces of land. The old man held the village chief’s hand and cried. “This child is so bitter. Her father has no conscience. If her father comes back, please protect this house for Momo. This is the only place she can go. Don’t let her father bully her.”

The village chief nodded and agreed. Many villagers were at the bedside at the time. They all sighed and secretly wiped away tears. Momo was dumb, and Lin Ze was gone. Who would protect her?

When she got to this part, the old woman was angry again. “Later, the village chief didn’t survive the winter when Momo was in Grade 12 and passed away. Momo was already renting a place near the school. Her father came back secretly and sold the house. Tsk tsk tsk, how unjust!”

So she no longer had a home.

Oh my god! He gave birth to her but never raised her, and he even sold her only home.

He never raised her since she was born, and now he has the audacity to make a video and ask Lin Mo to support him! Even by law, Lin Mo doesn’t have to support a parent who never raised her.

Come on, they’re both remarried and probably have their own children. They’re just latching on to Lin Mo because she’s famous and making money.

Oh my god! I’m so angry!!!

Wuwuwuwu, I’m so sad. Why didn’t Lin Mo say anything!

She probably knew that she was being targeted by capitalists. She had so many hot searches during that time, one after another. She probably thought it wouldn’t matter even if she said something.

Everyone was discussing, and Su Qixi asked a question that she was very concerned about. “I heard that after she graduated from Grade 9, she had an accident at the reservoir when she was asked to go there to play?”

The old woman nodded. “That’s right! Those little brats dared to take people to the reservoir. They said it was an accident, but I heard that Momo was pushed in. But it couldn’t be helped. She didn’t have her parents, and her grandparents had passed away. She was rescued and wasn’t dead, so no one pursued it.”

Another old woman smiled and said, “Oh, it wasn’t a bad thing. I heard that Momo later beat them up. Two of those kids had broken hands. I knew right away it was the two who pushed her. So what if they sued her later?”

“Hahaha, that’s right, that’s right. How did Momo get so smart later? She used the fact that she was pushed into the reservoir to get their parents to back off.”

“I heard that they also gave Momo some money, and that’s how the matter was settled.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Without that money, where would Momo have gotten the money to rent a place to live for high school? I heard it was the settlement fee? Is that what you call it, little sister?”

The old woman didn’t know much about the law. She only vaguely remembered this.

When she saw Su Qixi nod, the old woman happily said, “The dumb have their own blessings. After the reservoir incident, Momo became so smart! Not only did she beat them up, but she also solved her tuition problem. I heard that she was very smart in high school!”

Everyone was discussing, but Su Qixi was certain. Before the reservoir incident, Lin Mo was clearly a slow person. She only suddenly became smart after the reservoir incident.

Su Qixi slowly clenched her hands by her side.

…She didn’t lie to me. I was the one who didn’t believe her.
