Erniu was still somewhat afraid of Zhang Cuihua, a fear borne from countless beatings. She knew she would only get hit if she did something wrong.
Even a small child understood this.
However, Yun Hai overlooked this point, leading to unforeseeable consequences. But all that was to come later.
At Yun Leiâs house.
As Yun Hai had said, Zhao Fang was stingy when it came to outsiders. But to her own daughters and sons, her own husband, she was generous.
Zhao Fang stole a glance at Yun Lei, who was engrossed in his meal without saying a word. When she noticed her two children had finished eating, she told the eldest to take her brother outside to play.
A few married women passing by the Di Familyâs courtyard looked at her from a distance and whispered to each other.
âDo you think the Di familyâs new bride is not right? Her gaze is so straight, and she looks so foolish. Could it be because a high fever turned her into an idiot?â
âDonât you know, this new wife of Di Yelei isnât like any ordinary person. I heard that she had something going on with Businessman Zhang from the city⦠Anyway, she failed to escape marriage and jumped into the river on her wedding night. She ended up like this because of the cold she caught while having a high fever.â
âIf you ask me, whatâs the use of keeping such a shameless daughter-in-law? Better just tie her up and sell her to the brothel to save on medical expenses.â
âDi Yelei is pretty good actually. If it werenât for his two children, he wouldnât have married this disaster of a woman back homeâ¦â
The chirping in her ears made Liu Sisi gently close her eyes.
She had heard similar gossip over the past few days, but she simply did not pay attention to them!
Others thought she had caught a cold from escaping marriage and falling into the water, staying sick for several days. However, only she knew that she had changed her core by now, and she was no longer the same person.
The original her was just an orphan whose parents had died, grew up with her grandpa in their rural hometown. When she got her first monthâs salary after graduating from college, she bought a bottle of red wine to celebrate, but after getting drunk, she woke up as this Liu Sisi, who had attempted to escape her wedding and drowned in an accident.
The gossip from a few married women suddenly woke up her idle thoughts, and she realized that she had forgotten about the big problem waiting for her!
A hurried footsteps were heard, and soon, a big man appeared before her eyes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Di Yelei had just come back from the old house, and with a belly full of idle anger, he felt suffocated and irritable when he thought about his sickly wife lying in bed.
His biological mother passed away as soon as he was born, and tragedy struck his betrothed wife before their marriage. Years later, he finally found a new wife. Just when their lives were starting to improve, she had a fall and died, leaving him with two children and a mountain of debt.
Initially, Aunt Zhang had persuaded him, thinking about his young children, and hearing the matchmaker talking up the brideâs beauty and abilities. He gritted his teeth and agreed to the marriage, but in the end, it turned out like this.
Itâs for the bestânow his wife and sister-in-law wouldnât covet the third brotherâs meager stipend anymore.
Even more embarrassed, Zhao Fang said, âWell, of course, I told you first. But wouldnât anyone else do the same in that situation? Who could have known then that the third brother would wake up so soon? If I had known, I wouldnât have acted that way.â
Yun Lei directly exposed her lies, âCut it out! Even if you did know, you would have done the same.â
The smile on Zhao Fangâs face was on the brink of collapse, âShitou, I was only thinking of our family too.â
Yun Lei was tired of listening to her prattle. He put down his chopsticks and said, âIâve had enough. Iâm going out for a walk.â He then got up to leave.
Zhao Fang was so outraged she wanted to smash a bowl. But thinking about how much it cost, she could only settle for kicking a stool instead. The pain left her face contorted with pain.
Meng Yunhan was oblivious to all of this. By the time she and Yunhao returned home, the sun had already set.
Old Zhao thought they wouldnât be returning that day. So, when he saw the family, he appeared a little surprised. Seeing Yunhaoâs grim expression, he didnât ask anything but instead helped him to his room.
âWhat happened? I thought you folks were going to stay in the village for a few days.â The reluctance at their leaving was evident in Old Zhaoâs voice. He had grown used to having people around the house. The more, the merrierâhe loved the hustle and bustle.
âDad, donât ask Yunhao about it. Heâs in a bad mood. He fell down when we were coming back, which made his mood even worse.â Meng Yunhan quietly informed him.
Since the sun was out, Yun Hao was eager to get home quickly. And she knew that he couldnât be dissuaded unless he learned from his own bitter experience.
So she didnât try to stop him or offer help. In an area with a slight slope, he suffered a hard fall.
She did mention to him that he was still in rehab and needed to take things slow, but he didnât listen. The fall was a self-inflicted hardship.
He would no doubt think twice about being so hasty in the future.
She could empathize with his rush to return to his unit and his concern that his physical strength might not fully recover.
She understood all this and tried to subtly dissuade him. But he just wouldnât listen.
