The Factory Flower Blooms Again
Lan Shan, a wealthy city woman, and her husband of ten years, Wu Chi, visited Widow Village to explore a business venture. Lan Shan tasked Wu Chi with inspecting a pond they planned to lease while she went to a textile factory in neighboring Qingshui Town to deliver a new phone to her twin sister, Lan Yue. During his inspection, Wu Chi met Xu Manman, the owner of the hundred-acre pond—a widow desperate to marry into the city. She proposed a deal: she would transfer the pond’s rights if he married her. Wu Chi, seeing her as naive and legally ignorant, agreed without hesitation, plotting to abandon her in some remote place once the project was underway. After finalizing the pond deal, Wu Chi met Lan Shan at the factory. Thrilled by his success, she handed him her 5-million-yuan dowry to fund the development. Unbeknownst to her, Wu Chi had married her a decade ago solely for this fortune. Now on the verge of securing the money, he coldly resolved to sell off both Lan Shan and Xu Manman later. Meanwhile, Xu Manman’s friend Zhou Nana arrived at the factory for work and spotted Wu Chi with Lan Shan. Mistaking them for Lan Yue (the factory’s rising star) and Xu Manman’s fiancé, she saw a chance to exploit her jealousy of both women. She rushed back to Xu Manman, fueling her suspicions. Though initially doubtful, Xu Manman—gullible and obsessed with urban life—grew furious at the thought of losing her ticket to the city. She rallied the village widows to "catch the mistress" at the factory. By then, Lan Shan and Wu Chi had already left, leaving only Lan Yue, the factory’s prized beauty. The widows mistook Lan Yue for the mistress, ignoring her frantic explanations. During the chaotic chase, Lan Shan returned to deliver the forgotten phone. After a violent scuffle, the truth finally emerged. As for Wu Chi? Karma struck instantly—the decade-long deceiver was struck dead by lightning for his sins.
