That night, Liu Xiaomei tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

She asked herself again and again, how could she be with Brother Bao?

After thinking it over, she finally gritted her teeth, packed up her things, and quietly slipped out the door.

Zhou Yubao was sitting opposite his mother at home, full of worry.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Zhou Yubao opened the door and was stunned.

Seeing the thinly dressed Liu Xiaomei staring at him blankly, he was stunned: "Sister...you...why are you here?"

Liu Xiaomei blushed and bit her lip as she said, "Brother Bao, I...I want to be your wife, are you willing?"

"What did you say?" Zhou Yubao was stunned.

Zhou Yubao's mother asked in the room who had come, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing Zhou Yubao standing there in silence, Liu Xiaomei burst into tears: "Brother Bao, I ran away from home secretly. If you don't want me, I will jump off the cliff."

As she turned around and was about to leave, Zhou Yubao grabbed her and said, "Sister, where are you going? I am willing, I am willing a thousand times!"

Liu Xiaomei burst into tears and hugged her brother Yubao, whom she had been thinking about day and night, regardless of everything.

When Yubao's mother came out and saw this scene, she was so frightened that she stood there at a loss as to what to do.

But Liu Xiaomei stepped forward and said bravely: "Mom, I am Xihan Baoge, and from today on I am his."

As she said this, she supported Yubao's mother and walked into the house.

Zhou Yubao's mother was so excited that tears flowed down her cheeks. She kept saying, "Oh! My dear daughter, this is a blessing from my previous life!"

So, that night, Liu Xiaomei moved into Zhou's house and became Zhou Yubao's wife.

The next day, the Liu family discovered that Liu Xiaomei was missing. When they found the Zhou family and discovered that Liu Xiaomei had been living with Zhou Yubao, Liu Xiaomei's parents were so angry that they fainted on the spot.

This matter soon spread in the village. A girl dared to live with a man without the permission of her parents or the words of a matchmaker. This was a huge scandal that was against morals and public order!

For this reason, Liu's parents were so angry that they smashed Zhou's things and wanted to put Liu Xiaomei in a bamboo cage and sink it into the pond.

Zhou Yubao's mother took Zhou Yubao to beg desperately, but the Liu family refused to agree no matter what.

In desperation, Zhou Yubao's mother hit her head against the wall and died on the spot, as an apology to the Liu family.

When the Liu family saw that someone had died, they were a little scared and stopped making trouble.

However, they no longer acknowledged Liu Xiaomei as their daughter, saying that she was a disgrace to the family, and they would never have anything to do with her again.

Zhou Yubao's mother bravely died for her son, which made him heartbroken and burst into tears.

Liu Xiaomei was also very sad. From then on, she was considered a bad woman in the village. Her parents no longer recognized her. The only person she could rely on in this world was Brother Bao.

So she reluctantly persuaded Zhou Yubao: "Brother Bao, don't cry. This is all my fault. Go ahead and hit me and scold me!"

Zhou Yubao wiped her tears, shook her head and said, "Sister, it's all my fault that I'm incompetent and can't marry you, and I've hurt my mother!"

Liu Xiaomei felt even more sad, and the two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.

The next day, Liu Xiaomei and Bao Ge buried their mother together.

From that day on, the two lived in their broken kiln and depended on each other.

With Liu Xiaomei's gentle consolation, Zhou Yubao gradually came out of the haze and began to cheer up.

He went to work in the fields every day, and when he had free time, he would go to do odd jobs for others. In his heart, Liu Xiaomei followed him, and he couldn't treat her badly.

Therefore, he worked hard every day, wanting to give his wife a good life.

A year later, Liu Xiaomei became pregnant with his child. Zhou Yubao was overjoyed and worked even harder.

Liu Xiaomei also looked very happy, her good days were about to come.

It was an afternoon in May. Zhou Yubao came running back with an excited look on his face. He had gone to the neighboring village to help someone with work.

When Liu Xiaomei looked over, she saw that he was holding a cloth bag in his hand.

So she asked curiously: "Brother Bao, what did you take?"

Zhou Yubao said happily, "Little sister, open it and take a look."

Liu Xiaomei opened the cloth bag with a puzzled look on her face and was stunned for a moment. Inside was a bright red wedding dress and a pair of embroidered shoes.

She was surprised and delighted, and asked, "Brother Bao, what is this?"

Zhou Yubao said distressedly: "Little sister, you followed me and suffered. I have never held a wedding for you. In a few days, I will hold a banquet for us and make up for the wedding for you."

Liu Xiaomei stared blankly at the brand new clothes and shoes, and suddenly her eyes turned red: "Brother Bao, why are you doing this? I am willing to eat coarse food with you, as long as you treat me well."

Zhou Yubao refused, and insisted, "No, I can't let you suffer any more injustice. After our baby is born, no one will criticize him."

Liu Xiaomei nodded in agreement with tears in her eyes.

The next day, Zhou Yubao went out to the neighboring village to work for someone. Liu Xiaomei sat alone in the yard, looking at the dress over and over again, imagining how beautiful she would be when she put on the wedding dress.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaomei's heart began to beat fast with excitement.

Just like that, she spent the whole day alone in the yard, grinning foolishly. But in the evening, her brother Bao did not come back.

Usually at this time, Brother Bao would come back, but he was nowhere to be seen today.

Liu Xiaomei felt a little uneasy, but she didn't think too much about it, thinking that something was delayed.

But until dark, Brother Bao still hadn't come back, and Liu Xiaomei began to get scared.
