Autumn of 1984, Stone Village.
It was already evening, and the villagers who gathered around Lu Xingfei's house to watch the fun had no intention of going home to cook, and kept talking non-stop.
“That’s too much of a bully!”
"Isn't it? She herself has problems with her conduct, and being abandoned, she actually slandered Xingfei! Poor Xingfei had just been promoted to deputy battalion commander, and when he went home to visit his family, she brought trouble upon him!"
"If she dies, Xing Fei won't be able to wash away his guilt even if he falls into the Yellow River!"
Inside the mud house, Lu Xingfei stared at Wang Youyou lying on the bed, his brows furrowed and his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something.
Village doctor Hong Dashan put away his stethoscope, shook his head, and was about to say his condolences when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Youyou's eyelid twitching out of the corner of his eye.
Shocked, he quickly lifted Wang Youyou's eyelids to take a look, and then sniffed to check her breath.
After confirming again and again, his heart skipped a beat. He then turned around and said to Lu Xingfei calmly, "He's finally waking up. He's fine."
Hearing that the person was still alive, Lu Xingfei felt complicated and angry. He slowly said to Hong Dashan, "Thank you, Uncle Dashan."
Hong Dashan sighed deeply, picked up the medical kit and left.
Hearing that Wang Youyou was about to wake up, the villagers' discussions became even more heated.
"What a lucky guy! He was in a fever for three days and three nights, and he was still able to wake up!"
"Let's go, there's nothing to see!"
"Let's go home and cook."
Wang Youyou's eyelids twitched, and before she opened her eyes, the chattering sounds in her ears gave her a splitting headache.
What's going on?
Wasn't she washed away by the flood while trying to save a student who fell into the water?
After thinking for a moment, a memory that did not belong to her emerged in her mind.
The original owner was called Wang Youyou, just like her.
The original owner's mother died of illness when he was ten years old. In the same year, his father remarried his current stepmother, Wu Guifen.
Stepmother Wu Guifen also brought a girl who was the same age as the original owner. The girl later changed her name to Wang Caixiu and became the original owner's stepsister.
The original owner's father and Lai Guohua's father were good friends, and the original owner and Lai Guohua were elementary school classmates, so the two families arranged a marriage for them.
Because Lai Guohua is handsome, gentle and considerate, the original owner has liked Lai Guohua since childhood, and Lai Guohua also likes the original owner.
But no one would have expected that since the original owner's father passed away three years ago, Lai Guohua has been secretly having an affair with his stepsister Wang Caixiu.
The original owner thought that Lai Guohua was just confused for a moment and that everything would be fine after he got married.
Unexpectedly, on the wedding day, the original owner was happily waiting for Lai Guohua to marry her, but her stepsister Wang Caixiu intervened and cried and begged the original owner to agree to their marriage.
Lai Guohua shamelessly said that he and Wang Caixiu were true love, and then he took Wang Caixiu away as his bride.
All the guests in the room were suddenly in an uproar, pointing fingers at the original owner.
How could the original owner, who had always been spoiled, tolerate this?
I'm going crazy!
Seeing this, stepmother Wu Guifen whispered in the original owner's ear, saying that Lu Xingfei, who had just been dining in the audience, was a man of good character and an officer. In what way was he not better than Lai Guohua? Why not take this opportunity to remarry Lu Xingfei?
The original owner was so angry that she felt dizzy and her brain was not working properly. She rushed over in a daze, hugged Lu Xingfei who was chatting with her, and said that she would marry Lu Xingfei today.
When Lu Xingfei refused, the original owner slandered Lu Xingfei in public, saying that he had an affair with her. If Lu Xingfei dared not to marry her, she would go to Lu Xingfei's army to file a complaint.
When the upright Lu Xingfei didn't fall for her tricks, she jumped into the pond and threatened to die.
Unfortunately, the original owner couldn't swim and fainted after struggling twice.
Later, two other classmates from the same village helped to fish it out.
The original owner's stepmother, Wu Guifen, took a stab at the situation and determined that the person could not be saved, so she took the original owner to Lu Xingfei's house and asked Lu Xingfei to take responsibility.
Taking advantage of the original owner's coma and fever, he not only asked Lu Xingfei to get a marriage certificate with the original owner, but also asked Lu Xingfei to give a betrothal gift of 200 yuan.
Lu Xingfei originally planned to send the original owner to the hospital for treatment and give an explanation after the original owner woke up.
As a result, in order to get the 200 yuan betrothal gift, Wu Guifen lay on the ground and made a scene, preventing Lu Xingfei from sending the original owner to the hospital.
Lu Xingfei's sister-in-law was pregnant and was so angry that she was admitted to the hospital to give birth.
In order to calm the situation, Lu Xingfei reluctantly agreed to Wu Guifen's request.
By the time things were done, the original owner had been running a fever for three days and three nights and was almost dying.
Wu Guifen was scared away, and Lu Xingfei called the village doctor Hong Dashan.
Just now, when Hong Dashan confirmed that the original owner had passed away, she came.
After causing such a farce, the original owner died, which was a relief.
What should she do with Wang Youyou?
As soon as he arrived, he became the laughing stock of the whole village.
Wang Youyou reluctantly opened her eyes, rubbed her head, and sat up from the bed. Then she heard Lu Xingfei's deep and cold voice: "Have you had enough of the trouble?"
Wang Youyou turned her head away awkwardly, and was instantly stunned by the person in front of her.
His face just flashed through my mind, but I didn't look at it closely.
Now that he was so close, he looked closely and saw that his stern face was perfect.
He has a handsome and knife-cut outline, lips like peach blossoms, a straight and beautiful nose, eyebrows as beautiful as long swords, and a pair of almond eyes like those drawn by a painter, with deep and firm eyes.
He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and was wearing a white shirt and army green pants. He stood there straight, looking gentle and elegant, yet giving people a feeling of sternness and alienation.
Noticing Lu Xingfei's gaze, Wang Youyou swallowed uncomfortably and quickly stood up.
She pinched the corner of her clothes, lowered her head, and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, old classmate, it's all my fault. I will explain it clearly to the villagers. It was me who slandered you. I... I'm going home now."
