She went out with her belly bulging to ask around, but after asking around, no one had seen Brother Bao.
She didn't know what to do, so she ran back to her parents' home for help, but was kicked out by her parents.
Liu Xiaomei was frightened and helpless, so she planned to go to the neighboring village alone to inquire about the situation.
Just then, someone from the neighboring village came and told her some bad news.
It was said that Zhou Yubao and several other young men were captured by a group of people who broke into the village.
When Liu Xiaomei heard this, her eyes went dark and she fainted.
When she woke up, she cried her heart out. The man felt sorry for her and told her that Zhou Yubao might have been drafted into the army and was in great danger, so he asked her to make plans early.
But Liu Xiaomei didn't want to believe this fact at all and burst into tears.
The man said a few words of comfort, shook his head, and left.

But at this moment, the baby in my belly actually moved.
She immediately realized that she was pregnant with Brother Bao's child.

At this moment, she gritted her teeth and decided that she must give birth to the child and wait until Brother Bao came back!

Although Liu Xiaomei's parents hated their daughter's behavior, they couldn't bear to let her suffer alone anymore.
So with the help of her parents and villagers, Liu Xiaomei successfully gave birth to a son.
She was looking forward to the day when Brother Bao would come back with great hope. She wanted to tell him in person that she had not broken her oath and that she had raised the child.
In this way, in the anticipation day after day, Liu Xiaomei grew from a young girl to an old gray-haired girl, but she never waited for the appearance of Brother Bao.
During this period, her son also passed away, leaving her alone as an old widow.
"Oh! My life is so miserable!" Granny Liu's tears burst out again.
Zhou Bin was stunned after hearing this. Such a story made him tremble all over.
