A few years later, when the Reform and Opening-up policy began, Guo Changming sold his job, intending—just as he had in his previous life—to head south and seek his fortune.
On the very day he sold his position, Yuanchun applied an Invisibility Talisman to herself, went to his home, and gave him a sound thrashing. She then took every cent of the savings he had accumulated.
Like the Zhao family before him, Guo Changming assumed he had been beaten by a ghost. He was scared out of his wits, and his mental state began to deteriorate. Lacking money and traumatized by the incident, he never made it south. Later, he had to rely on his father-in-law’s old connections to secure a temporary position at the steel mill.
