Dizzy...... Where is this......

How do I lie on the ground......

Zhang Xiaodong sat up, shook his head, and looked at the scene in front of him, feeling strange and familiar.

The room was dim and hazy, with a cracked wooden table and two broken benches in front of it. The only source of light are two large red candles placed on the table. The candlelight flickered on and off, reflecting the walls covered in newspaper and his shadow on the dirt floor.

Here it is......

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaodong's heart was shocked, and he remembered what kind of place this was.

This is my hometown, where I lived thirty years ago, in the hall of that old house in a poor mountain village!

But how did I come back here?

Feeling the dizziness coming from his head and the unrealness in his sight, Zhang Xiaodong came to a conclusion in his heart, he must be dreaming!

Looking carefully at the old mansion in this dream through the candlelight, there was a big red word "囍" pasted on the opposite wall, although the wall was pasted with newspapers, but there was still wind that would leak in, blowing the candles into flames. The ground was littered with the remnants of red firecrackers, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.

There was an old-fashioned calendar hanging on the wall, and Zhang Xiaodong looked over and was instantly stunned.

October 17, 1994!

This day is the day of his wedding!

Even though nearly 30 years have passed, this day is still imprinted in his heart like a knife. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a heart-piercing colic, accompanied by remorse and regret. This pain came so real that it made his whole body much more sober.

Is it possible that this is not a dream?

With a hint of apprehension, he rose from the ground, walked through the hall, carefully lifted the curtain, and walked into the only inner room.

In the back room, a kerosene lamp was lit and hung on the wall, and a bed was placed at the farthest point from the vent.

The bed is covered with a bright red futon with a pattern of mandarin ducks embroidered on it, symbolizing joy. On the walls and windows next to it, there are also the words "Xi".

But in sharp contrast, on the quilt, a woman lying on her side is sobbing.

The woman was slender and dressed in a well-made white sweater and blue jeans, but at the moment she was covered in dust, her hands and feet were firmly tied, and her mouth was stuffed with a ball of cloth. His eyes were red, and his beautiful face was covered with stains from tears.

Seeing Zhang Xiaodong come in, her eyes widened instantly, her eyes were full of horror and fear, she writhed all over her body and tried to break free from the restraints, and after another attempt to no avail, her eyes turned into pleading, and the mouth that was plugged by the cloth made a whining sound, and the tears that had dried up passed through her cheeks again.

And the moment he saw her, Zhang Xiaodong also lost his mind and froze in place.

It's not a dream!

I was born again, back to the wedding night!

The wedding night is the happiest and most unforgettable memory in the hearts of many people. But for Zhang Xiaodong, this day made his whole life live in regret and self-blame.

Because, his wife was not willing to marry, but was "taken" back to the mountains by the matchmaker at the cost of a bride price of 5,000 yuan!

Zhang Xiaodong plucked up his courage and looked straight at these poignant eyes, looking at the most important woman in his life, and his heart was turbulent.

Yan Ruohua......

I owe her, and I can't pay it back!

……

When Zhang Xiaodong was born, the umbilical cord was around his neck, and his brain was deprived of oxygen, so he was a little silly when he was young. In order to save money for their stupid son to marry a daughter-in-law, his parents went out of the mountains and worked in other places all the year round. But when he was fifteen years old, the couple unfortunately died in a construction site accident, and the joint compensation finally left Zhang Xiaodong with 30,000 yuan.

His fourth uncle took a fancy to the money and succeeded him as his nominal guardian.

After Zhang Xiaodong became an adult, saying that he was close to him was put on the agenda. But there are too few girls in the small mountain village, even if there is the right age, with Zhang Xiaodong's silly reputation in the village, no one is willing to marry her daughter in.

So, the fourth uncle asked the famous matchmaker Li in the town to help match the bridge. Within two months, Mrs. Li negotiated with a family in other places, and personally took Yan Ruohua back to the mountains on the selected auspicious day.

In his previous life, Zhang Xiaodong was drunk by several relatives on this night, and he didn't even remember how to go back to the old house. He only remembered that when he woke up the next morning, he had slept in a quilt with Yan Ruohua, whose face was full of tears.

After that, Yan Ruohua was depressed for a while, but slowly accepted his fate and lived with him in style. The two planted a few acres of land, and every day Zhang Xiaodong came back from the field, Yan Ruohua also taught him to read and write, and told him about the outside world. Slowly, everyone found that Zhang Xiaodong was no longer as stupid as he was when he was a child, but because he had never received enlightenment education, he looked demented and stupid.

A few months later, Yan Ruohua found out that she was pregnant, and the day of the marriage happened to be the day of the wedding. Zhang Xiaodong was very happy, and worked harder to learn cultural knowledge on his own, thinking that he would go out to earn more money in the future and give the mother and son a better life.

But on the contrary, after learning that she was pregnant, Yan Ruohua has been depressed, she doesn't think about tea and dinner, and from time to time she has an emotional out-of-control situation, and the seven aunts and eight aunts in the village all say that this woman is crazy. In the end, the sky was not as expected, Yan Ruohua was born prematurely at the age of eight months, not only did the child not be saved, but she also died in childbirth.

……

"Ugh." Zhang Xiaodong sighed in his heart.

This is a memory buried in the depths of his memory, which he has always been reluctant to recall.

Two years later, Zhang Xiaodong, who was studying while farming, said goodbye to his silly image. He resolutely chose to walk out of the mountains and came to the city.

After more than 20 years of ups and downs, he has become a wealthy boss, and he has also seen all kinds of deceit and power temptations in society, but he has never touched a woman again.

For him, Yan Ruohua is not only the only woman in his life, but also the enlightener who brought him new life. And she is the root of ruining her beautiful life.

But about Yan Ruohua, there is one thing that has always puzzled him. When I first met, I saw that she didn't dress like a poor person, and she had a high level of education, so why did her mother's family marry her to the mountains after receiving a bride price of 5,000 yuan.

He was stupid at the beginning, Yan Ruohua didn't tell him about her family, and the only person who knew about it might be Mrs. Li. But later, he returned to his hometown several times to inquire about Mrs. Li, but he couldn't find the whereabouts of the other party. This confusion has accompanied him all his life......

……

"I was a fool at this time in my previous life, and I couldn't change anything. But now I am different, I must give you back the life that belongs to you, so that you can be happy for a lifetime. ”

Looking at the woman lying on the bed with pear blossoms and rain again, Zhang Xiaodong made a decision in his heart.

Facing Yan Ruohua's frightened and pleading gaze, he slowly walked to the side of the bed, bent down and said seriously:

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. I'll find a way to get you out of here, but only if you do everything from now on, and you nod if you can. ”

Although Zhang Xiaodong was full of wine in his mouth, hearing the standard Mandarin spoken out of his mouth, Yan Ruohua was stunned for a moment, and then nodded excitedly, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes again.

"Okay, I'll take the strip of cloth out of your mouth now, but don't shout! I nodded again when I understood. ”

This time, before Zhang Xiaodong finished speaking, Yan Ruohua obediently nodded in advance like a chicken pecking rice, and moved his body towards him.

Great, the first step to build trust went smoothly!

Zhang Xiaodong stretched out his hand and was about to pull the strip of cloth out of her mouth, when suddenly, not far from the window, there was a sound of small and approaching footsteps, accompanied by the sound of conversation in the village dialect.

"Uncle Zhang, are you sure that stupid winter has already slept to death?"

"Big nephew, don't worry. I just asked Tengzi and Xiaohuzi to send him back, and as soon as he entered the door, he fell to the ground, and neither of them could stand it. Coupled with the three mengzi I put in his wine, you can't wake up even if you try to make him. ”

"Hehe, that's good. I watched it when Aunt Meng and they came back yesterday, this time this girl is really smart, it's a fucking waste to be a daughter-in-law for this fool. ”

"Eldest nephew, if you like it, I will take Dongzi away from time to time in the future, and you will fix it."

"That's not necessary, let's just take a fresh bite, and then let this fool touch it, and it won't taste right. But if I hadn't had this habit, would I still have the opportunity for you to touch my family's light? ”

"Yes, thank you, eldest nephew."

"Hahaha."

……

In the inner room, Zhang Xiaodong, who heard the conversation clearly, tried his best to control his facial expression, not letting Yan Ruohua see his anger at the moment.

He could distinguish the voices of the people in the village, and the two people outside were all too familiar. One of them is his fourth uncle Zhang Chunlei, and the other is Wang Xu, the son of the village chief.

In his previous life, he never understood why Yan Ruohua seemed to be a different person before and after learning about her pregnancy, thinking that it was pregnancy depression caused by the rise in hormones, just like what he saw in the book later.

It was only at this moment that he finally understood the truth of the night.

It turned out that it was because the child was born of this beast!

His hands clenched into fists, and the back of his hand was bruised.

If you want to blame, just blame me for being stupid for too long!

Now that I've been given another chance, I'll sort everything out, both openly and secretly. All the accounts must be settled!
