Chapter 94 Previous Life
Zhang Heping called two strong men to stand behind Li Jing, walked over and coaxed her, "Li Zhiqing, you see the three of them have also been punished. Why don't you put down the knife first? It's very heavy to carry!"
While Li Jing was distracted, one of the strong men behind her kicked her down, and the kitchen knife flew out.
"ah--"
Li Jing was about to step forward to pick up the kitchen knife, but Zhang Heping kicked the knife further away.
"Tie her up for me!" Zhang Heping said angrily.
"Why did they arrest me? I am the victim. The three of them beat me together. Can't I resist?" Li Jing screamed and struggled.
Zhang Heping: "Why did we arrest you? Do you think we'd chop off your neck if you resisted?"
Li Jing looked at Xia Wanyang in Zhang Shiye's arms with a sinister look, "You must be very proud now, right? Apart from Li Xiaofeng, there are only three of us who got married in the educated youth center.
"Do you know? Song Changhe always calls your name when he sleeps at night. Although he is a piece of shit, I once wanted to live with him peacefully, but he only beat and humiliated me endlessly. If you were to marry him, his family would definitely hold you in high esteem. I once thought about tying you up and offering you to Song Changhe, so that I could escape from the sea of suffering, hahahaha!"
Zhang Shiye calmed Xia Wanyang down, then walked over to Li Jing and kicked her, "Luckily you didn't succeed, otherwise I guarantee you'd die ten or a hundred times more miserably than Song Changhe!"
Zhang Heping shouted, "Zhang Shiye, what are you doing? Stop it!"
Xia Wanyang also shouted: "Zhang Shiye, I'm scared, come here!"
Hearing Xia Wanyang's movements, Zhang Shiye returned to her side and held her in his arms, "Don't be afraid, no one can get close to you here, we will go home soon!"
Half an hour later, leaders from the commune and the Youth League Office rushed over. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but vomit on the spot. The police took the man to the police car without saying a word.
Seeing the police coming, Zhang Shiye hugged Xia Wanyang and went home. He didn't get to see He Hua and scared the little girl a lot. He was so angry that he really wanted to go back and kick Li Jing a few more times.
Zhang Shiye sent the person to the master bedroom and turned around to leave, but Xia Wanyang stopped him, "Where are you going?"
"You haven't forgiven me yet, I'm going back to the west room to sleep." Zhang Shiye said aggrievedly.
"No, you can sleep here, I'm scared!"
Zhang Shiye's mouth curled up slightly, "Okay then!"
The two of them lay in bed, and Xia Wanyang warned: "Just sleep, don't touch me, okay?"
Zhang Shiye suppressed his restless thoughts and hummed, "Okay, let's chat for a while!"
"What are you talking about?"
Zhang Shiye kissed her forehead gently and said, "Let me tell you about what happened after you left in your previous life!"
Xia Wanyang changed to a comfortable position and leaned in his arms. Zhang Shiye continued, "In your previous life, you came to us and I fell in love with you at first sight. I also found that you always looked at me secretly. I was very happy and told my mother about my feelings. Mother said she would not agree to it and said that I was not worthy of you. I went to the city in a rage and started as a janitor. I told myself that I must make a name for myself and come back to marry you."
"Later, I met a big brother. He saw that I was strong and healthy, so he promoted me to be his right-hand man. I went to the south to bring goods back for him to sell. After a few trips, I found that the profit was very large, so I wanted to do it on my own. Later, he promised me to bring goods for him five more times and then let me go."
"I completed the task as agreed, but he was reluctant to let me go. I've been away for too long, and I missed you so much that I couldn't sleep. I wanted to come back to see you and then find a way to leave."
"But when I came back, I got the news that you fell into the river and were rescued by Li Wenzhuo. Rumors about you were flying all over the village. I wanted to tell you that I was not afraid of rumors and I would marry you. When I finally mustered up the courage to look for you, that big brother happened to come to our village and found me. He took me away and locked me up."
"In the first few days, they beat me every day. I was covered in wounds. They didn't give me any food, only water. Then one day, I took advantage of their laxity and knocked out the guards. I escaped, but I watched you and Li Wenzhuo leave."
At this point, Zhang Shiye clenched his fists, his voice trembling slightly, "I hate it so much. If he hadn't taken me away, maybe I would have had a chance, but I didn't give up. I know your family is in Shanghai. After returning to the black market, I used two years to gain a foothold and accumulated a certain amount of capital."
"My fame grew bigger and bigger. I remember that in 1980 I had saved 100,000 yuan. I took the money to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and continued to work in my old business while asking for news about you. Later, the reform and opening up policy allowed us to set up factories. I was very busy at that time and spent almost every day in the factory. Of course, I also made a group of brothers who worked with me. At that time, competition was fierce. I hired many thugs and made more and more money. But no matter how I asked, I still couldn't find any news about you."
"It wasn't until the twelfth month of 1995 that I finally heard something from a director. He said his brother-in-law got drunk and said there was a healthy woman who had been locked up in their mental hospital for eight years. I had a hunch that that woman was you. It wasn't until New Year's Eve that I actually found you!"
Xia Wanyang sighed and wiped the tears from her face. "In my previous life, I also fell in love with you at first sight. You were tall and energetic, and your mouth would always turn up when you looked at me. At that time, I was wondering, how could there be someone who looks so much like me!"
Zhang Shiye kissed her cheek after hearing this, "Me too, my Yangyang is the prettiest."
Xia Wanyang continued, "But being good-looking is also a sin. In my previous life, I didn't volunteer to go to the countryside. I always misunderstood that my parents were afraid of being reported and that's why they sent me here to suffer. I was unhappy every day, so Li Wenzhuo and Fang Zhaodi took advantage of me. I couldn't cook, so Fang Zhaodi did it for me. I didn't wash clothes cleanly, so she washed them for me. Gradually, I became very close to her."
"She actually knew how I felt about you, and she kept telling me that you were the captain's son and had already been engaged. She also advised me to give up. I foolishly lived every day in the anguish of hating my parents and regretting that I couldn't have you."
"One day she asked me to go to the river to talk, then she said she was going to relieve herself and left me there alone. I was pushed into the river without knowing what was going on, and Li Wenzhuo happened to rescue me. Suddenly the river was full of people, and my reputation was ruined afterwards."
"Afterwards, Li Wenzhuo was very attentive to me and obeyed everything I said. Fang Zhaodi also told me every day that it was better to find an obedient man than to ruin other people's marriages. She also told me that the reason you were not there was because you went to help with the work of your fiancée's team. I nodded and agreed in anger."
"After my parents found out about this, they tried to get me back to the city. Li Wenzhuo used the excuse of sending me back home, but when he got to my house, he knelt down and cried in front of my door for three days. In the end, he even resorted to self-harm to force me to marry him."
"Later, my family arranged a job for him. He gradually took on the job and became busier and busier. I was happy to have some free time. Before we got married, I told him that we should be husband and wife in name only, not in reality. This would give both of us a way out. After all, I didn't like him either, and he agreed."
"My parents were very disappointed in me because of this. My father's opponents took the opportunity to falsely accuse him of corruption, and he was later removed from his position. Li Wenzhuo fed my father chronic medication for ten years. After my father passed away, my mother couldn't accept it and followed him. My two brothers were also transferred out of Shanghai. Li Wenzhuo put me under house arrest at first, and later Fang Zhaodi persuaded him to send me to that mental hospital. I lived in a daze every day until the New Year's Eve in 1995."
"They forced me to write to my brother so that they could get my family's property. After I knew the whole truth, I lost the desire to live. I swallowed a handful of pills before you came to me. After that, you will know everything."
