Rebirth: Don’t be a coward and be a mother’s baby

As soon as these words came out, it was Zhou Chunyan's turn to be surprised, "Why didn't you go?"

Zuo Liang talked about it bit by bit.

Zuo Liang was the child of Zuo's father and his first wife. In those days, whether a rural woman could survive giving birth to a child depended solely on whether the Lord of Hell wanted to take your life.

Zuo Liang's mother was very unfortunate and passed away after giving birth to Zuo Liang.

When Zuo Liang was one year old, Zuo's father married Zuo Liang's stepmother after being introduced by his fellow villagers. The next year, the stepmother gave birth to a son. In the third year, the stepmother gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, and in the fifth year, he gave birth to a younger son.

The Zuo family is an ordinary peasant family. Their children can become laborers when they grow up, but before they grow up, they are just a burden begging for food. The stepmother had difficulty feeding her own children, so there was no extra rice soup to feed Zuo Liang.

Fortunately, Zuo Liang was successful. After he could walk and talk, he used his eloquent mouth to visit the homes of the villagers in the collar, eating from house to house. He was truly a child who grew up eating the food of hundreds of families.

Later, I learned a lot of words from a distant uncle of the Zuo family who had been studying for several years, and began to help the folks in the village calculate some big accounts.

When he reached the age of primary school, he was sent to school with a little money raised by his neighbors. Fortunately, he kept up with his ambition and won first place every time. Except for the tuition fees in the previous years, he did not spend a penny in the future.

Zuo's father and stepmother saw that he didn't eat the food at home, didn't spend the family's money, and worked diligently at home during the holidays, so they went with him.

The turning point of things also came after the college entrance examination.

He estimated his scores and found that there was no problem in getting into Huzhou Normal University. He took a bus to a city restaurant and worked as a freelancer for two months. It was hard and tiring, but he earned his tuition. It was not just him, but also Zhou Chunyan's share. , he also collected more than half of it.

After returning home with a full load, he took out a portion of his tuition money and went to the next village to find Zhou Chunyan. Just before he left, his stepmother stopped him.

The stepmother said that he had graduated from high school and had used several connections to find a good marriage for him. After showing his face to his father-in-law's house, he could live directly with the bride at his father-in-law's house. She was familiar with that family. The man sold brine at home. He only has an only daughter, and he is reluctant to let his daughter get married and needs a descendant to inherit the exclusive secret brine recipe.

The meaning behind the words could not be more obvious.

He was sold by his stepmother to that family as a son-in-law.

He immediately wanted to rush out and escape from the Zuo family, but unfortunately he could avoid his stepmother, but he could not escape his strong father who had been working in the fields all year round, and his stepmother's three sons.

His hands and feet were tied up and he was dragged to his "father-in-law's" house.

It was exactly the same as Zhou Chunyan's experience back then. The only difference was that Zuo Liang was a man. He was not given anesthetics and was conscious and strong. When the bride entered the wedding room, he deceived the bride for a few words and then let the bride take care of him. The guards outside dismissed the person, and after the person left, they punched the bride and knocked the person unconscious, and then ran away.

Unable to return home, he took advantage of the darkness and ran to Zhou Chunyan's village. At dawn, he squatted in front of Zhou's house. People squatted there, but Zhou Chunyan was not there.

The Zhou family didn't say anything, they just told him to give up and never want to know Zhou Chunyan's whereabouts in this life.

He had no choice but to go to the village where the Zhou family lived and ask around, but he only got the news that Zhou Chunyan was married far away. He heard that she was married to a county seat. He didn't know which county seat, or whether it was the county seat of Yunlu City.

There are eight counties under Yunlu City. Zuo Liang ran around for several years with the tuition fees he planned to give to Zhou Chunyan, but could not find any sign of Zhou Chunyan.

Zhou Chunyan was shocked after hearing this.

What kind of strange fate is this? The two of them were forced to get married by their elders on the same day.

But Zuo Liang was lucky. He escaped, and he stayed in the Xie family prison for more than ten years.
  "Swallow, don't be sad. Like you said, it's all over."

Zuo Liang handed a clean tissue to Zhou Chunyan, and the latter realized that tears were already streaming down his face.

"Zuo Liang, I, I really didn't know that you not only helped me raise my tuition fees, but also had been looking for me for several years. I -"

"Swallow." Zuo Liang put his hands back on his knees, "Later I saw you from a distance, in the seventh year when I was looking for you."

Zhou Chunyan looked at him with tears in her eyes, confused, "Have you ever come to see me? Why don't I have any impression?"

Zuo Liang shook his head: "At that time, you were holding the little girl in your arms, and there was that man and an old woman standing next to you. It was difficult for me to come forward."

At that time, Zhou Chunyan had lost her youthfulness and was only in her twenties. However, she had her hair tied up and her daughter in her arms. He followed them all the way. The family talked and laughed, looking at harmony and tranquility, but he had nothing and no money. Wen looks like a homeless man. Who has the guts to destroy her marriage?

Zhou Chunyan pursed her lips, but finally said nothing and wiped her tears with a tissue.

Jiajia was still young at that time, and even if Zuo Liang showed up to take her away, she would not agree to leave her daughter with him.

Speaking of the little girl, Zuo Liang considered and tentatively spoke.

"On the first day of my senior year of high school, I asked you to go enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I mentioned your favorite poem. You said you liked "Jian Jia". If you have children in the future,"

"mom--"

Before Zuo Liang finished speaking, Xie Jianjia pushed open the door and walked in. Before the smile on his face could bloom, he saw Zhou Chunyan's eyes were red and her face was full of tears.

She strode forward and pushed Zuo Liang away, who was sitting beside the hospital bed, with a fierce tone.

"What did you do to my mother?!" His eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone.

Zuo Liang was unprepared and was pushed suddenly, causing him to fall to the ground with his chair.

He was not an eighteen-year-old boy now. He had a body that was tired from running around in his thirties. He fell suddenly and screamed in pain.

Zhou Chunyan didn't expect this, and her tone was panicked.

"Jiajia, he didn't do anything to me. Quick, help him up."

If she fell, she would be guilty.

As he said this, he was about to ring the call bell on the bedside, but Xie Jianjia held him down forcefully.

"Mom, you said it was nothing! You can't help hide it just because he is your high school classmate, right? You must be crying like this because he bullied you!" The tone was aggressive.

Zhou Chunyan could not move her legs and feet, and the nurse who had gone out had not returned yet. The only person in the ward who could support Zuoliang was Xie Jianjia.

"Jiajia!" Zhou Chunyan's tone was anxious, "Uncle Zuo was just telling me about things in high school. It reminded me of some touching places. I cried because I couldn't help it. Please help me up quickly. Shout."

Xie Jianjia looked suspicious, "Really?"

Zhou Chunyan held her daughter's hand several times and said, "Really, mom won't lie to Jia Jia."

After hearing her mother's assurance, Xie Jianjia reluctantly helped Zuo Liang up from the ground. Without her obstruction, Zhou Chunyan quickly pressed the call bell on the bedside.

After a while, several nurses rushed to the ward and took Zuo Liang away.

Xie Jianjia picked up the fallen chair and sat beside Zhou Chunyan's bed.

"Jiajia, you are too impulsive." Zhou Chunyan looked at her daughter with a serious expression.

Seeing her mother looking like she was trying to reprimand her for a man, Xie Jianjia felt aggrieved in her heart. She turned her head away from her mother and spoke in a stubborn tone.

"I am right."

Second update today!
  small theater:
  Zuo Liang: What a coincidence that I came here to disturb my recollection of the past.

Xie Jianjia (viciously): I came just in time. I just wish I didn’t come earlier. My push was great!

Zhou Chunyan: Jiajia is not right~
  Xie Jianjia (crying): Mom is cruel to me.

Zhou Chunyan (infinite doting): OK, OK, yes, yes, everything Jiajia does is right.
