In the middle of the night. A street corner in the village. Li Zhihua held the infant child in her arms, standing in the cold wind and shivering from the cold.

I asked her similarly to a question:

"Whose child is in your arms?"

Li Zhihua lowered her head. A sigh. It seems to express a lot of suffering in life. She looked off with tears in her eyes. Say:

"Kids. It's yours," she finished. But suddenly laughed. Seems. It's too tiring for her to carry this secret alone.

I listened to this. I was so shocked that I couldn't say a word. In silence. I slapped myself in the mouth. She was holding the child in her arms. Can't stop me. Until. I saw her crying in distress. Blood was spilling from the corners of my mouth. I'm just going to stop.

"The child is yours. But. You can't admit it. His surname is Zhang. It's called Zhang Gazi. Although the nickname is 'Egg'. But it has nothing to do with you. He can only be Zhang Sanhu's son in this life......"

"I'll definitely give you child support"

"No, I don't. I will raise my children alone" Li Zhihua shows the strength of a weak woman.

"Twig-flower. I did what I did to be sorry for your whole family. All the consequences are on me. After all, children are innocent. I don't want him to be wronged."

"Don't blame yourself so much. I want to thank you. ”

"Thank me for what." I was very distressed and confused.

"Thank you for making me a complete woman. Otherwise......"

"I'm just a brute. I'm sorry for my brother Three Tigers. Two, I'm sorry for you two. Three. I'm sorry Aunt Zhang. Don't you think I've hurt your whole family? ”

"I never thought so. It was you who saved me. Otherwise. I don't know what I'm supposed to be like to live or die."

"Yes. It hurts you deeply. You and the Three Tigers will not be happy at all."

"We orphans and widows can live. Not only to live well. And you'll live your own life."

"Are they good to you. You've been wronged," I burst into tears. Very heartbroken.

"Mother-in-law. My father-in-law was very kind to our mother. And the man was still the same as he was. Ignore me. I thought he was just air. Be indifference to. And it doesn't matter."

"He's the best brother I've ever had. And you're my woman. Whereas. You're husband and wife again......"

"You say. I'm your woman......" Li Zhihua fell with tears when she heard my words:

"There is a man in this world who treats me as his woman. It's enough to have your words. Or even say. Die without regrets"

"You have to live well. With the strength you deserve. Raise our children to adulthood."

"Hmm. I can do it."

"Brother Erdan. I. I have one more request. I'm not the wife you took into the house. But for your first wife."

"I know. You're still the most important woman in my heart."

"Yes. I don't believe it. Because. You're about to marry that girl named Jing Lin. She is a woman who is a little more beautiful than Wang Qingyu. It's really envious, jealous and hateful to watch."

"She's the woman I bought back from Wolf Ridge with my life. Just when I was about to die in the belly of a wolf. She still snuggles up to me all the time."

"This kind of woman who is inseparable from my life and death. I have to marry her. There is no reason for this."

"You don't wait for Wang Qingyu."

"Don't wait"

"When did you give up?"

"She's married. And already have children. I followed the city people to live the city people's life. What other reason do I have to wait here stupidly"

"Wang Qingyu is not that kind of person. She must have had her struggles. If. It wasn't the accident in which her father was forced to die. The two of you will definitely be together in the end."

"Perhaps. But life doesn't have so many assumptions. Nothing can be done all over again. The origin is long gone."

"Yes. I should be the most touching person. Life may be as ironic as ever. Whatever you do, it will make fun of you. Mock you. Set a trap for you. Deliberately embarrassing you."

"Twig-flower. Don't talk about it. The more you talk about it, the more heartache I get. The more distressed ......"

Li Zhihua smiled on her face. There were tears in his eyes. She suddenly said:

"Sister-in-law. When will you cross the door? ”

"I don't know. It's hard to say. It depends on what Jing Lin means."

"Why do you think God created such an opportunity for you to be together," Li Zhihua said as if she was very confused.

"That place should be yours," I said, hiding my face and grieving.

Li Zhihua listened to the tears of emotion, and the starlight fell like beads with broken threads.

"I don't have extravagant expectations. It's enough to have your words. It's really enough."

"I'm never resentful. But why would I play such a big joke on us? A person who could have been together well. It's all coming. Just a stone's throw away. But they want to draw a clear line. The cruelest thing in the world. That's it."

The word "yes" is enough to make people feel distressed.

"I keep thinking about it. How many years did we cultivate in our previous life? I can meet you. And willingly give birth to a child for you. We rarely meet each other in this life. But it's hard to get along with. Is this a punishment for me? ”

"You're not wrong. You are not guilty. Who will punish you. It's not so much that there is. It's better to say it's me. I'm the one who hurt you. If. That's right. I am willing to atone for my sins."

A word or two. I didn't finish it. Babies in swaddling clothes. 'Wow wow' began to cry. Li Zhihua lifted the baby's small quilt. The face that had been clouded for a long time suddenly. A happy smile spreads. She said:

"Come and see our kids. You see how much he looks like you."

I can't wait to get up there. A crying baby in swaddling clothes. Suddenly. Be quiet. Open your eyes. Revealing dark eyes. I held out my fingers and teased him gently. He smiled.

I gently stroked his delicate and smooth skin with my fingers. And then. Kiss his little forehead. Say:

"Kids. It's dad who is incompetent. Let you two be wronged. From now until you grow up and even become an adult. I can only be your uncle. Child. I'm sorry. Daddy, I'm sorry you two. I don't seek peace of mind. But I beg your forgiveness. I hope you can live a healthy and safe life. As long as I can live one day. I'll be waiting for you two for the day."

I knelt down in front of Li Zhihua and the two of them and kowtowed three times. Signifies atonement. Salvation. The sins I committed against Li Zhihua.

Li Zhihua was instantly flustered when she saw me like this. She quickly lifted a hand to help me up. Say:

"Brother Erdan. What are you doing here? Hurry up. Something I willingly do. Don't be so yourself. We will definitely live well. I will definitely raise our children to adulthood. for him to go to college. Out of the mountains. Give him a family and a career. Don't let him repeat the tragedy of my youth"

"He'll sit down. Because. He is my Shao Erdan's child. He grew up to be a human spirit. He's going to be very good."

I cried 'suddenly'. I can't help myself. I trembled and said, "Zhihua." Later. Not only can't we be together. And it will be far away. Because there are already rumors in the village. Say that the child is not the Three Tigers. Say it's mine."

"You think the Three Tigers don't know. In fact. He is the one who knows best. Because. He never touched me. How could I have given birth to his child? ”

"Actually. The one who lost the most was him. The woman in the city parted ways with him. Broke up. Back home. I gave birth to someone else's child. He's not going to be blamed overnight."

"He thought I was the one who was hurt the most. Outcome. It must have been a surprise to him. This kind of negative person. The man who ruined my life. God should make him pay such a price."

"He's a good guy. It's just not good at words. If. You from the very beginning. There can be very good communication. I think. This moment. We are all innocent."

"There are no innocent people in this world. It's all a dirty relationship. Did he think he could get me dirty. Heartless people must not know. I am his curse. I'm going to be his curse for the rest of my life."

"I hope you don't hate him. If. You must hate. Then hate me. I am the one who caused your tragedy."

"Huh. Brother Erdan. You're underestimating me too much. If. Hate can set me free. I hate it. But now I don't hate. Because. I still live in a prison that I can't see or touch. I had nowhere to break free. So why not go with it. Take time to numb yourself. “

"Thankfully. I still have my flesh and blood. My baby. Only he is the most loyal to me. I will never leave me. Sticking to me every day. When you don't see me, you'll cry. Can you experience this kind of happiness that is needed? “

"He's the only person I can rely on in this world"

"Nope. And me. I'm also someone you can rely on. After all. We used to love. It was a good time. There was no betrayal. Or steal the sun. At that time, it was as if you were still alone. I'm single too. Wang Qingyu is gone. Jing Lin didn't show up yet. Recollect. It was a happy day."

"That's right. At that time. We're always glued together. It doesn't matter day or night. As long as there is you, there is me. We could have been in one bed. Affectionate blending. It can also be glue-like when holding hands."

"I still think about it a lot. Then. The way you scolded me. Now that I think about it. At that time. Oh, oh, I'm stupid. It's so stupid that you can happily hold the freshly steamed rice cake and give it to you to eat. Don't say anything about it. I was also scolded by you. Stupid. Now that I think about it. It's naïve. But at that time. We are most authentic to each other. The real I can touch you, I can touch you...... So happy."

"I'm a happy woman," Li Zhihua put away her tears. Said.

'You're my woman'

She smiled. Bright as the stars in the dark night. Her persistence. It will not be disappointed. I must be the one who is going to repay her.

"That's right. Brother Erdan. I have an idea now."

"You say"

"I want to wait for my children to be older. Go to the town and make a tailor shop. Sell cloth. And then make clothes for other people."

"Good. I'll help you rent a shop when the time comes. And then. Help you get your store up and running."

Li Zhihua didn't just say it. And it did. Who would have thought. Years. More than ten years later. She was able to turn a tailor's shop into a foreign trade garment factory. A factory specializing in making kimonos for Japanese people. Who would have thought that a woman who had been abandoned by her own man could be so successful.

Maybe. I guess I answered that. God makes you sad. There must be joy too......
