Chapter 4 She also has a husband

The letter was sent from the street office in the original owner's hometown.

The content was very simple, saying that her grandfather left a will before he died, leaving the old house he lived in to Shi Xiaoai, and entrusting the office to help transfer it.

The letter sent over now is urging her to go back and complete the formalities.

Looking at the letter, Shi Xiaoai was a little confused. How come she didn't remember such a plot in the book at all?

If there was, the original owner would have definitely escaped immediately. How could he have been stuck in such a quagmire?

The village chief across from her saw her holding the letter in silence and couldn't help but ask, "Rui's mother, what's in the letter?"

When Xiao Ai heard this question, she suddenly understood -

According to the setting in the book, the original owner and the fool had already been caught and raped in bed by a group of people who had planned it, and the incident had already caused a lot of uproar.

In this situation, even if there were letters from home, no one would give them to her.

Afterwards, with the tyranny of the branch secretary's family, she might never have the chance to see this letter in her life.

When I think about how just a few hours' difference cost the original owner and the children their lives—

An indescribable bitterness and sadness suddenly surged in her heart, making Shi Xiaoai's eyes red in an instant.

Seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, the village chief was a little anxious: "Xiao Rui's mother, is something wrong at home? Hey, it's New Year's Day... Why are you crying?"

Hearing that their mother was crying, the brother and sister who had been watching from behind immediately gathered around.

The two of them hugged Shi Xiaoai's thighs tightly, shouting anxiously: "Mom, don't cry, Mom, don't cry."

This sadness should come from the lingering soul of the original owner. As a woman herself, Shi Xiaoai can empathize with him.

She silently said in her heart: "Don't worry, I have avenged this for you. From today on, that family will live a life worse than death! I will also raise the child well for you, don't worry."

Then he wiped away the tears from his eyes and handed the letter to the village chief.

Seeing the children's worried expressions, she reached out and gently touched the two cubs' heads, saying, "It's okay, Mom is happy, we can go home now!"

After hearing her say this, the village chief, who had already read the letter at a glance, was suddenly stuck.

He was originally about to ask Shi Xiaoai if she wanted to go home?

There is no need to ask now.

So the words on the tip of his tongue turned into: "Aren't you waiting for Rui's father to come back?"

Wait for him to come back?

When he came back, the original owner's bones had turned into ashes!

Shi Xiaoai lowered her eyes to hide the sneer in her eyes.

Yes, the original owner of this book had a husband. If not, how could she have such a pair of children?

The original owner's husband was called Cheng Yang. Like her, he was a young man who went to the countryside and had a miserable life.

The original owner's parents had passed away, and she had no immediate relatives in the city, so it was impossible for anyone to help her arrange to return to the city early.

Cheng Yang's mother died and his father remarried early, so he was also a member of the family who was abandoned.

The Crescent Village where they live is located in a remote area, and there are few young and middle-aged people in the village. In order to retain the educated youth and preserve the labor force, the village has introduced preferential policies.

As long as you are willing to stay in the village and get married in the village, regardless of whether the person you marry is from the village or not, you can apply for a residential plot, and the village will also provide people to help build the house.

Even the materials needed to build a house can be supplied at a low price.

This policy did leave behind a group of people, including these two little cabbages who were neither loved by their parents.

Cheng Yang and the original owner had a good relationship after marriage. They lived an honest life together and indeed experienced a very good time.

But less than a year after his marriage, Cheng Yang suddenly received an enlistment notice from the army, asking him to report to the army within fifteen days.

This news shocked the entire village.

Being able to join the army at this time is a great thing, something many people would never even dream of!

But Cheng Yang obviously didn't know about it beforehand. The key point is——

Just the day before receiving the notification, the original owner had just confirmed the news of her pregnancy.

Cheng Yang called his father for the first time in many years.

Because the call required going to a town several miles away, and the original owner was having a serious reaction at that time, I didn't follow.

But she waited and waited at home, but what she got was the news that Cheng Yang had to leave.

The enlistment notice was obtained for Cheng Yang by Cheng's father's later wife through her connections.

She owed Cheng Yang a favor before, but because they had a feud, Cheng Yang unilaterally announced that he had severed his father-son relationship with his father a long time ago, so this favor could never be repaid.

She had spent a lot of effort to get this indicator, but she also knew Cheng Yang's temper and was afraid that he would not go if she told him in advance.

He simply completed all the procedures without asking for permission later, and then the army sent him the notice.

Of course, because the two parties had not been in contact for many years, that person did not know that Cheng Yang was married.

Things have really become a done deal at this point, and it's impossible to change them.

After all, refusing military service is illegal, will become a lifelong black history, and will also affect future generations.

No matter how stubborn Cheng Yang was, he wouldn't dare take such a risk.

So he left, leaving the original owner who was three months pregnant.

At the beginning, he would send letters and money back, but this situation only lasted for three months.

After the fourth month, this person seemed to have completely disappeared from this world, and no trace of him could be found.

The original owner wrote him countless letters, but they were all returned on the grounds that no such person existed.

One can imagine how difficult it was for her, a young woman pregnant with twins, to live in the village.

The original owner gritted her teeth and persevered, and finally gave birth to two children successfully.

She didn't even complete her confinement period before leaving her children in the care of a pitiful neighbor and walked for several hours to the town to make a long-distance call to her husband.

That was the number Cheng Yang left for her in the letter. He said that if there was any emergency, she could call him at this number, and she must tell him when the child was born.

The original owner waited at the post office for nearly an hour before the call clerk finally got through. However, the operator on the other end said that the number was no longer in service and had been withdrawn several months ago.

The unit number that the original owner mentioned does not exist at all.

It rained heavily that day, and the original owner stood under the eaves at the door of the post office to shelter from the rain.

She cried as long as the rain fell.

After the rain stopped, she wiped away her tears and returned to the village without looking back. From then on, she never mentioned Cheng Yang again.

When registering the twins' household registration after a full month, she gave them two names, "Shi Mingrui" and "Shi Mingxi".

They all have her surname and have nothing to do with those with the surname Cheng.
