"You and Sister Li are finally together?" When Gao Feng told Ye Ning this with a blush on his face, Ye Ning was not surprised at all.
Actually, she had already noticed the feelings between the two when she visited the base twice before, but she didn't bring it up.
Actually, the reason she sent Sister Li to Gao Feng's place was to try and match them up, but she never expected that they would actually get together.
When she met Sister Li in her previous life, it was around the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. At that time, she and Xiao Jingchen were hiding in a building.
Due to prolonged displacement, hunger, and cold, Ye Ning, who had always been pampered, finally fell ill. The illness came on suddenly and fiercely; she had a high fever that wouldn't go down.
Xiao Jingchen frantically sought help from the other survivors in the building, but no one was willing to lend a hand.
That makes sense; when you're struggling to take care of yourself, who would be willing to help others?
Moreover, antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs are already extremely scarce.
Just as she was delirious with fever, Sister Li took out a packet of fever reducers that she had treasured.
Although it had expired, it still worked successfully.
Later, the building was breached by zombies, but they managed to escape together and then traveled together.
Sister Li is a warm-hearted woman. Although she appears cold on the surface, it is because she has a past that she cannot tell others.
Sister Li died from an infection caused by a zombie scratch. She also had a persistent high fever, but the antipyretics failed to work again this time.
Without antibiotics, wound infection is practically a death sentence.
On her deathbed, Sister Li finally told her story.
It turns out she came from a small town in city E. She had a childhood sweetheart, and they had been neighbors with only one wall between them since they were little.
Her lover was academically excellent, but he had a broken family: a gambling father and a frail and sickly mother.
When I was seventeen, something unexpected happened.
The following plot is quite cliché: his father ran away with a huge gambling debt, and his mother died in a fit of anger.
He lost all his relatives while still in high school and faced the danger of dropping out of school.
To help him achieve his dream, sixteen-year-old Sister Li resolutely abandoned her studies and went out to work.
A year later, Sister Li's lover successfully entered university, and then, to repay Sister Li for her sacrifice, the two held an engagement ceremony.
At that time, her lover was probably genuinely grateful to her.
Unfortunately, people change, especially after experiencing the outside world.
Her boyfriend successfully entered university, and Sister Li also began her first attempt at entrepreneurship.
While Sister Li was busy with her small business, she didn't realize that her lover had quietly changed his mind.
He frequently asked her for money, and appeared in front of her less and less often, from once a week to once a month, and then once every three months, with all sorts of reasons and excuses.
But she naively thought he was just too busy with his studies.
Li Jie, who came from a small town, thought that engagement meant forever.
Three years later, even if she wasn't very bright, she could sense that something was wrong. She discovered that her lover had been having intimate relations with other women.
She started questioning and making a scene; she was unwilling to accept it and couldn't accept it.
In order to get Li Jie to continue supporting his schooling, he came up with an extreme solution: marriage. This way, he could prove that he had not betrayed Li Jie, and he would not be labeled a heartless man like Chen Shimei by the people in his hometown.
Although it was obvious that her lover wasn't sincere, Sister Li, eager to salvage the relationship, actually agreed.
There was no wedding; the two simply held a small banquet in their hometown.
After marriage, her lover—no, at this point, she should be called her husband.
He continued his studies, and in the eyes of his classmates, he remained single.
The shrewd and capable Sister Li continued to run her business, and it became increasingly successful.
Just then, Sister Li discovered she was pregnant.
When she finally found the school, she was overjoyed to find him chatting and laughing with a vibrant young girl.
She told him she was pregnant, but all she got in return was his livid face and a cold "Take it off."
The family education she received from a young age led her to believe in the erroneous belief that a woman should follow her husband wherever he goes.
In this unfamiliar city, she went to the hospital alone, underwent surgery, and then returned to her rented room alone. Her husband never appeared during this entire process.
Her husband originally intended to use her help to complete his studies and find a job before divorcing her.
But for someone without any connections, settling down here is far from easy. He found a respectable job based on his education, but while the job was respectable, the salary was low and could not support his carefree life in the city, let alone settle down.
Meanwhile, the shrewd and capable Sister Li's business is thriving, and she is already a small business owner.
On the one hand, he looked down on her, thinking she was a country bumpkin from the countryside, uneducated, and not good enough for him, a college student.
On the other hand, he couldn't do without Sister Li's financial support.
So the divorce was delayed indefinitely.
This happened three more times. When she became pregnant for the fourth time, she insisted on having the baby because the doctor told her that if she didn't keep it this time, the chances of having another child would be slim.
No matter how much her husband gave her the silent treatment, she remained stubborn and unmoved, even when he threatened to divorce her. It was as if she had made up her mind.
