[The Return of Fate] (A Common Man's Loss of Will) Chapter 121

The Fox's Tail
Ma Hongli was very worried. She hadn't seen Cao Laosan for a while; she wondered which slut
he was off gallivanting with. She had initially been attracted to his boldness and daring, the fact that no one dared to mess with him and that his words carried weight in the area. He had won her heart, and she thought she could be
proud and protected. But every gain has its loss. These kinds of men are inherently incapable of tenderness and romance.
In their eyes, women are merely tools for sexual gratification. When they're aroused, they grab them and want to have sex, then ignore them completely afterward. This
became increasingly apparent the longer they were married. At first, he was attracted to her beauty, but as time went on, he grew tired of her. Haven't you heard
the saying, "Behind every goddess is a man who's had enough of her"? Don't say men are heartless; it's
human nature. Feelings can deepen over time, but sex is inherently fickle. This is related to ancient reproductive genes: males
need to spread their seed as widely as possible, while females need to find superior genes.
As time passed, the feelings between the couple had long since faded. For a man like Cao Laosan, home
was more like an inn, a place he occasionally returned to rest. His wife was dispensable; she seemed to exist, but he never
felt she was of any use. Only his beloved daughter remained a concern, but since her pregnancy, she had been heartbroken. He had never
imagined that his daughter would become a slut despised and played with by his brothers. Don't let Cao Laosan's
promiscuous behavior fool you; his views were actually more conservative than the average person.
He defined any sexual relationship outside of designated times and spaces as promiscuity, and
all women involved in such affairs were considered sluts and promiscuous. He often engaged in promiscuity, and while he enjoyed sluts
, it didn't mean he respected or approved of them. Many Chinese people are so divided; on one hand, they enjoy
having sex with sluts, yet on the other hand, they utterly despise them. He was oblivious to his own lack of self-control, yet he was incredibly perceptive of others—
in short, a double standard where one side allows the other to do as they please.
He was in immense pain after the incident; the inner torment was unimaginable to outsiders. Like many parents,
his most immediate reaction to an emergency was to use drastic measures to control the situation. While he grieved for his daughter, he couldn't
bring himself to use harsh methods, so he targeted those around her, warning all men who might approach her.
The effect was immediate, but the side effects were significant: the conflict with his daughter became irreconcilable
.
Although he had angrily reprimanded her at the time, and she was frightened, what happened next? When
she learned what her father had done to her, resentment and rebellion began, and the power struggle between father and daughter commenced
. Despite the outward calm, the atmosphere, every expression, every word, and every tone of voice conveyed the tension
. Although the father's domineering power seemed strong, defeat was inevitable in the long run, because
paternal love couldn't withstand such a prolonged cold war.
Amidst Cao Laosan's increasingly softening and ingratiating attitude, and Cao Lihong's somewhat indifferent yet hesitant
demeanor, a temporary, albeit disharmonious, balance was achieved. Cao
Laosan's defeat in his contest with Pang Si left him somewhat disheartened and depressed for a while. Unexpectedly, a nationwide crackdown erupted, its severity
rivaling the suppression of counter-revolutionaries in the early years of the People's Republic. Cao Laosan, with his keen political sense, immediately went into hiding, only
occasionally venturing out to see his daughter, though she didn't seem to reciprocate his feelings.
His elusive nature worried Ma Hongli greatly. Now, her daughter's conversations were filled with emotion, which Ma
Hongli couldn't control. Moreover, the unusually proactive approach of men towards Cao Lihong made her nervous, unsure how to react
. Ignoring it was impossible, but dealing with the girl was futile; she was afraid to intervene with the young men—who
knew what kind of people they were? With Cao Laosan away, she felt uncertain.
She went out to inquire but couldn't find anything, further troubling this woman who already lacked assertiveness. But
for her daughter, she was willing to go all out. That's the greatness of maternal love—it transcends wealth and status.
The next day, Tiedan was indeed waiting at the door early to take Cao Lihong to school. Ma Hongli, seeing this from inside,
became even more worried. When school ended, they didn't come home on time, making Ma Hongli
even more restless and strengthening her resolve to confront Tiedan. So where were the two of them? Why didn't they come home on time?
It wasn't really Tiedan's fault; Cao Lihong had asked him to take her for a drive. Tiedan couldn't bear to refuse
; in fact, he was more than happy to oblige. Cao Lihong deliberately sent Yu Lili away, but she was somewhat disappointed.
Tiedan, despite his rather masculine appearance, was very shy in her presence, barely daring to look her in the eye, and blushing easily when speaking.
While disappointed, she also found him quite amusing. After their drive, the two strolled along the riverbank. Once Tie Dan felt more comfortable,
he started to relax and chatted about everyday life. While not particularly interesting, it suited Cao Lihong's
tastes.
As darkness fell, Tie Dan, worried about neglecting their business—not wanting to bring a girl out and risk her parents' disapproval, which would
negatively impact their future relationship—persuaded her to go home. He dropped her off at the door, turned his bike around, and started riding back. Before he
could even refuel, he saw a woman waving from the roadside. Tie Dan looked around; no one was there. Was she looking for him
?
He slowed down, looking at the beautiful woman ahead of him, a woman who was still quite attractive, with a youthful charm: "You wanted to see me?
Is there something you need?"
Ma Hongli: "I'm Cao Lihong's mother." Tie Dan was surprised. He hadn't expected Cao Lihong's mother to be so beautiful,
and even less that she would contact him the very next day.
Tie Dan: "Oh, Auntie, I've already taken her home. Hehe, don't worry." Tie Dan was a little nervous
and quickly got off his bike. However, his use of "Auntie" definitely made Ma Hongli uncomfortable. At first, she was even more nervous than Tiedan,
but upon closer inspection, the young man seemed quite honest and kind, with a bright white smile and a shy demeanor, which immediately put her at ease
.
"I know, I just wanted to talk to you. Our Lihong is still young, and we don't want her to date, especially
her father, who's extremely opposed to it. A couple of years ago, one of her classmates was quite close to her, and her father beat him up,
and his family even had to pay compensation. Young man, you seem quite honest, and I'm only doing this for your own good. Stay away from Lihong;
it'll be too late if her father finds out."
Tiedan's true feelings were that he was afraid her father wouldn't know: "Auntie, don't worry, I don't mean anything by it. I just
think it's really unsafe for her to go to and from school. The other day, those two hooligans intercepted them, didn't they? I absolutely didn't mean anything by it. "
"You see, your family doesn't even pick her up or drop her off; it's so dangerous." Tie Dan's words weren't necessarily
feigned. He might have initially approached Cao Lihong with a purpose, but things changed after they met.
Tie Dan had never been the type of person girls liked; pretty girls ignored him. But unexpectedly
, Cao Lihong was so enthusiastic and favored him, which boosted his confidence and gave him an
unprecedented sense of satisfaction. Being appreciated and relied upon, especially by a beautiful woman, made him feel that the world was truly
wonderful, the air fresher, and the colors of the world richer and brighter.
Ma Hongli, of course, wouldn't easily believe his nonsense, but Tie Dan's sincere promise
not to harm Cao Lihong and to pick her up and drop her off on time made it
difficult for Ma Hongli to say anything more. She wouldn't hit a smiling face, after all. Although she didn't completely break her promise, her attitude was clearly less resolute.
Tie Dan, being adept at handling things, quickly escorted Ma Hongli home, telling her to call him if she needed anything or needed any help. He
then reported the situation to Ye Nanfei, whose guiding principle was that more contact was better than less.
He assigned Chouqiu and Maorou to keep an eye on Ma Hongli, observing her daily activities and looking for opportunities to get closer.
After two days of observation, they made some progress. Those living in single-story houses in the city needed to remove coal briquettes in the summer, otherwise
heating in the winter would be a problem. When Cao Laosan was home, many of his underlings would come and finish the job in a day or two, but in recent months, they
had rarely caught him. The crackdown had created a climate of fear, so who would bother helping with coal briquettes? Ma Hongli had bought
coal dust, but she was worried about where to get the yellow mud and how to remove the briquettes. Few people used gas cylinders, but her family
had been using one for a long time. It had run out of gas, but she couldn't carry it herself.
On the third day, Tiedan escorted Cao Lihong home. Seeing the pile of coal dust at the door, he deliberately went inside and asked Ma Hongli
if they needed to make coal briquettes. Ma Hongli, who was looking worried, immediately looked at Tiedan with hope: "Yes, yes,
I don't know how to do that."
Tiedan said, "Don't worry about it, I'll find two people to do it for you."
The next morning, after seeing Cao Lihong off, he found a few friends, brought in some yellow soil, mixed it with the coal dust in the right proportions
, and then used molds to make coal briquettes. In his spare time, he also filled the gas cylinders and tidied up the front and back yards.
Ma Hongli saw this and her impression of him improved even more. Since marrying Cao Laosan, she had never experienced
what it was like to have a family-oriented man.
At noon, he prepared a few dishes to entertain them. After the friends finished eating, they went outside to smoke and chat. Tiedan stayed behind
to help clean the table and casually asked Cao Lihong's father why he was never home. Ma Hongli looked at Tiedan strangely.
So this little guy didn't know this was Cao Laosan's house; no wonder he was so bold. "Hehe, no wonder, you don't
know this is Cao Laosan's house?"
Tiedan's acting was pretty good: "Ah????????? No way? Wow,
Brother Cao is my idol! Ah, no wonder."
Ma Hongli: "Then do you still dare to pick up Lihong and bring her to my house?"
Tiedan: "Uh... I dare! I don't have any ulterior motives towards Lihong, what's there to be afraid of? Hehe, but I really want
to see my..." "Is your idol, Third Brother, never coming back?"
Ma Hongli thought Tiedan was kind of adorably silly. "I advise you, it's best to stay away from him. You
never really know when you'll see him, but the day after tomorrow is Lihong's birthday, he'll definitely be back. But he's not exactly known for his good temper
, so you'd better not see him. Stay away from Lihong in the future, it's all for your own good."
He didn't listen to anything else Ma Hongli said; his heart was pounding with
the joy of completing a task and achieving his goal. After that, he didn't care what Ma Hongli said; he accepted whatever she said without question.
He had tried asking Cao Lihong before, but it didn't work. As soon as Cao Lihong heard about her father, she would react badly: "Don't
mention him to me, it's best if I never see him again."
When the news came back, everyone was overjoyed but immediately tense. Now that Cao Laosan was about to show his face, the next step was how to arrest him. None of them had ever done this kind of work before; after all, they weren't law enforcement. How could 　　they arrest him
smoothly and without causing trouble? 　　Ye Nanfei hadn't been idle these past few days, having already devised several plans. However, plans couldn't keep up with changes. His first arrangement was for 　　Tiedan to continue taking Cao Lihong to school in the mornings to avoid further trouble, but to find an excuse not to pick her up in the evenings, otherwise, running into Cao 　　Laosan could lead to unforeseen circumstances. He also arranged for Chouqiu and Maorou to disguise themselves as a melon seed seller and a shoe repairman, respectively, 　　to keep watch near Cao Laosan's house. 　　As for the abduction, Ye Nanfei's first plan was to ambush them near the school gate, but Tiedan strongly objected 　　, saying that the school gate would be crowded and inconvenient during dismissal time. Ye Nanfei agreed. The second 　　plan was that they would definitely be at home celebrating their daughter's birthday that evening. Besides, this wasn't a short separation for the couple; it was a long 　　separation. A short separation is better than a honeymoon, so a long separation is better than a honeymoon. Why not take advantage of the night, when it's quiet and dark, and simply break into their home and abduct them 　　? 　　Looking at Tiedan, he again looked troubled. Ye Nanfei: "What's wrong, Tiedan? You're too scared to do it? I 　　don't want to either, but Mule's waiting for us to rescue him. Besides, Cao Laosan isn't exactly a saint. We're just doing what's right 　　." Tiedan mumbled incoherently, but didn't make a sound for a long time. With Mule gone, Tiedan was usually 　　someone we could discuss things with, but why was he being so hesitant today? 　　Ye Nanfei: "Just say what you want to say. Why are you acting like a woman?" 　　Tiedan: "No, well... you see, Cao Lihong and her mother have it tough. They finally get to celebrate a 　　birthday... the family finally gets together, and we're just going to ruin it like this, isn't that a bit... 　　hehe." 　　Ye Nanfei finally understood: "Oh ho, you little rascal, you've infiltrated the enemy, and you're starting to take it 　　seriously, aren't you? You haven't actually fallen for Cao Lihong?"
