Guo Xiong came back in the evening, still drunk.
"Damn it, why are you taking so long? Is dinner ready? I'm starving." Guo Xiong said impatiently.
"Okay, okay." Zheng Lili quickly brought the meal into the house.
Dinner was corn tortillas with wild vegetable soup and a bowl of pickles.
In fact, this food is what ordinary families often eat nowadays. It is neither good nor bad.
Guo Xiong is a hunter after all, so he can still eat some meat occasionally, but he has to do it secretly.
"Where's the meat? Where's the rabbit I brought back two days ago?" Guo Xiong said as he slammed the table as he looked at the bland meal.
"I've already cooked the rabbit for you. The rabbit itself isn't very big. Everything you ate yesterday is already there." Zheng Lili said as she backed away.
"You stinky bitch, are you trying to fool me? You cooked such a big rabbit in one meal? You loser bitch, I'll beat you to death!"
As he said that, he took two steps over, grabbed Zheng Lili by the collar and started beating her.
When Guo Jiaming saw his mother being beaten, he immediately ran over and grabbed Guo Xiong, saying, "Don't hit my mother!"
"Little brat, I'm your father! You're still ungrateful, aren't you?" Guo Xiong said with a sigh.
Guo Jiaming stood in front of Zheng Lili, not wanting her to get beaten: "She's not an outsider, she's my mother!"
When Guo Xiong saw him staring at him with hatred, he became even angrier.
"You little bastard, you're itching for trouble, aren't you? You dare to talk to me like that? Fine, I'll give you a break today!"
After saying that, he slapped Guo Jiaming to the ground. The man's hands were big and rough, and Guo Jiaming's face swelled up instantly.
Zheng Lili rushed over and hugged her son, distressed, saying, "If you have anything to say, come to me. Why are you hitting Jiaming?!"
Guo Xiong pointed at Zheng Lili and said fiercely, "He's a good son you taught me. What's wrong with me beating him? I'll beat you too!"
After that, he started punching and kicking. Zheng Lili held her son in her arms for fear that he would get hurt, while she just endured Guo Xiong's domestic violence.
Guo Xiong was tired from beating them, and seeing the mother and son lying half-dead on the ground, he lost all interest.
He cursed and went out.
Guo Jiaming broke free from Zheng Lili's arms. Seeing her covered in wounds, he clenched his fists and said, "I'm going to kill him!"
Zheng Lili was so scared that she quickly grabbed him and said, "Bie Jiaming, don't do this. You are still young. Don't ruin your life for someone like this."
"Mom, why don't you divorce him? He is a beast. If you continue to live with him, he will beat you to death!" Guo Jiaming didn't understand.
"How will I live after the divorce? I can't go back to my parents' home. And most importantly, I can't leave you. Guo Xiong won't give you to me. Without you, it would be like the end of my life." Zheng Lili said crying.
Guo Jiaming stopped talking. He really hated himself for being a burden to his mother.
After a while, Guo Jiaming said, "Mom, when I went to the window outside the school to listen to the class, I met two good friends.
They didn't mind that I didn't have money to study, and they took the initiative to teach me knowledge and take me out to play. I like them very much."
"Who is it?" Zheng Lili looked at her son gently.
"Their names are Gu Mingzhe and Gu Minglin. They are twins, but they don't look alike at all. It's amazing." Guo Jiaming happily shared about his good friends.
"Gu? Twins?" Zheng Lili knew there was a family with the surname Gu, but...
"Yes, their father's name is Gu Jingheng, and he's a soldier! Their mother is also amazing, she can write articles to make money." Guo Jiaming said admiringly.
...is his younger brother's child.
Gu Jingxi... Zheng Lili silently repeated this name in her heart.
At first, she and he were in love, but later Lin Sanmei plotted against him. Zheng Lili knew that he had no choice but to do so.
Gu Jingxi is kind and soft-hearted, and Zheng Lili has never blamed him.
When she first learned about the matter, she hid herself away and cried heartbrokenly, but fate was cruel, she thought, they were not destined to be together after all.
So when her parents later arranged a marriage for her, she married without any resistance.
For her, if she couldn't marry Gu Jingxi, it would be the same whether she married anyone else.
She and Gu Jingxi were from the same village, and they were childhood sweethearts.
When he was little, he would give himself whatever delicious food he found.
He also said that he would marry her when he grew up.
Until he grew into a real man, the affection in his eyes turned into a man's desire for a woman.
Zheng Lili was happy. From the beginning of her love to the vow of eternal love, she had long fallen in love with the tall and handsome man in her memory.
But eight years have passed, and I am no longer the young girl I used to be.
The two people are like two parallel lines that never intersect, and their past feelings are left in memory.
"Mom? What's wrong with you?" Guo Jiaming asked Zheng Lili in a daze.
"Nothing, does Jiaming like them?"
"I like it. They know a lot and are willing to take me out to play. They even asked me to visit their home in the future." Guo Jiaming said with a smile that befitted his age.
Zheng Lili just smiled and said nothing.
