Chapter 1 Am I reborn?
The moment Zhou Yong opened his eyes, a big nose slapped him in the face with a loud and crisp sound, making him feel dizzy and tinnitus instantly.
He looked at his ex-wife Li Caiyun's face, who was in her early twenties, and stood there in shock!
What is happening here?
Aren't you dead?
But why does a slap on the face hurt so much?
Just as his heart was filled with turmoil, Li Caiyun under the night sky slowly raised her shaking arms. The towering mountains trembled. Her eyes were filled with tears and her voice was choked with sobs: "Zhou Yong, how could you do this to me? You are worse than pigs and dogs..."
Zhou Yong pursed his thin lips and slightly frowned his handsome sword-like brows. He looked at Li Caiyun who kept condemning him, and his vertical arms trembled involuntarily.
Am I reborn?
Or is this just another dream?
Scenes of the past that he couldn't bear to recall emerged in his mind, and Zhou Yong's eyes suddenly turned red. He stepped forward and hugged Li Caiyun tightly while she was chattering nonstop.
"You bastard, let me go..."
Li Caiyun kept struggling in Zhou Yong's arms and punched and kicked him.
The pain was so real that tears welled up in his excited eyes.
Zhou Yong held her in his arms, his chin resting on the top of Li Caiyun's head, his Adam's apple sliding, and his throat seemed to be blocked by a foreign object, and he couldn't utter a word.
He hugged Li Caiyun's arms tightly, and said with a choked voice: "Xiaoyun!"
Li Caiyun leaned in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes.
Zhou Yong sniffed and looked up at the moon hanging diagonally in the night sky. At this moment, he felt mixed emotions.
Li Caiyun's tears wet the front of Zhou Yong's clothes, making his nose a little sore.
He let go of Li Caiyun, held her trembling thin shoulders, bent down slightly, and looked at his beautiful young wife who was crying.
If I remember correctly, it should be 1970 now, which is the third year of my marriage to Li Caiyun.
I was unwilling to be a son-in-law, so they were a couple in name only for three years.
It was today that I resolutely filed for divorce.
He thought he would be able to live the life he dreamed of after the divorce, but not only did he cause the tragic death of Li Caiyun, he also indirectly killed his father-in-law and mother-in-law who treated him like their own son.
This was the wound in his heart, and it made him live in self-blame for the rest of his life. Even at the moment of his death, the faces of the three members of the Li family still appeared in his mind...
The tragic past was still vivid in his mind. Zhou Yong took a deep breath, fixed his wandering eyes on Li Caiyun's delicate face, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from her face.
Li Caiyun glared at Zhou Yong and pulled his hand away: "Since you want a divorce, I will grant your wish."
When she said this, her face was filled with grief. Zhou Yong saw it all and secretly cursed himself for being blinded by greed.
Although Zhou Yong was a son-in-law, Li Caiyun's parents never treated him badly. They even had to let him come first when there was something delicious at home.
In the words of the villagers, Zhou Yong was a man who didn't know how lucky he was. He was seduced by that vixen female educated youth and lost his sense of worth.
Thinking back to this, Zhou Yong pursed his lips. He knew that Li Caiyun didn't want to divorce him, otherwise their marriage would not have lasted until now.
Zhou Yong held Li Caiyun's rough hand, feeling uncomfortable.
He studied privately with his grandfather for a few years and was considered an intellectual. However, because of his handsome appearance, he was forced by his biological mother to become a son-in-law of the village chief.
Zhou Yong married Li Caiyun reluctantly and became a timekeeper in Huaixi Village through the village chief's father-in-law.
The timekeeper is not considered a village cadre, but belongs to a special group and is an important position in the entire production team's organizational system. It is precisely because of his job that some people want to curry favor with him, and naturally some people dislike him.
Gradually, many slanderous words about him spread in the village. As time went by, Zhou Yong began to think about divorce...
Li Caiyun pulled her hand back, pushed Zhou Yong hard, wiped her tears hastily, and raised her foot to go back.
Zhou Yong sighed, raised his hand and scratched his head, looked at Li Caiyun's thin figure, and took big strides to catch up.
"Why are you still with me?"
Zhou Yong wanted to say something but stopped himself. Li Caiyun continued walking forward with red eyes. Zhou Yong saw her and chased after her.
As she was walking, Li Caiyun stopped, collapsed on the ground and burst into tears.
She had liked Zhou Yong since she was a child, and was determined to marry him despite her parents' opposition.
Li Caiyun got what she wanted, but ultimately failed to warm Zhou Yong's heart.
Zhou Yong came to her side, squatted down and hugged the trembling Li Caiyun.
Li Caiyun overreacted and pushed and hit him.
Zhou Yong didn't blame her, because all of this was caused by him! !
Li Caiyun cried and made a fuss until she was exhausted. She leaned quietly in Zhou Yong's arms with lifeless eyes, tears rolling down her face.
Zhou Yong put one arm around her shoulders and wiped her tears with the other hand.
"Caiyun, Zhou Yong, where are you? If you hear me, please answer..."
When Zhou Yong heard his father-in-law Li Baotian calling him, he didn't bother to coax Li Caiyun and responded hurriedly.
"Xiao Yun, our parents are looking for us. We can talk later."
Li Caiyun's eyes were somewhat empty. He wanted to help her up, but Zhou Yong was pushed by his young wife and staggered before he could stand firmly.
Zhou Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly, not knowing where to start talking about all that was on his mind.
Li Caiyun glared at him fiercely, then turned and walked in the direction Li Baotian was shouting.
Zhou Yong raised his hand to touch his nose, then followed happily.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Li Caiyun's eyes were red, and the traces of crying were very obvious.
Zhou Yong looked at his father-in-law, with a somewhat guilty look on his face.
Li Caiyun sniffed and lied that she sprained her ankle, which made her cry in pain!
Li Baotian looked at Zhou Yong meaningfully. Although he was old, his mind was not confused at all.
"Dad will carry you back."
Li Baotian squatted down slightly with his back to his daughter. This scene made Li Caiyun cry.
Zhou Yong strode forward and said, "Dad, I'll carry Xiaoyun."
Li Baotian turned his head to look at his arrogant son-in-law. He wanted to say no, but he swallowed the words back.
"Well, you carry Caiyun down the mountain slowly, and I'll go find your mother and your cousin..."
Zhou Yong didn't want to talk about divorce with Li Caiyun at home, so after dinner he found an excuse and the couple went up the mountain.
As they didn't come back, Li Baotian was worried about his daughter and son-in-law, so he went up the mountain with his wife and nephew to look for them.
Li Baotian shouted the names of his wife and nephew and walked in another direction. Zhou Yong licked his lips and came to Li Caiyun.
"I'll carry you back."
Li Caiyun glared at him again, obviously not appreciating her kindness.
She pushed Zhou Yong away and walked down the mountain road alone.
Zhou Yong froze in place for a few seconds, then he gritted his teeth and followed again.
Li Caiyun, who was walking in front, raised her arm to wipe her face from time to time. It was obvious that she was still crying. Zhou Yong felt mixed emotions.
He dreamed of countless scenes, and he once asked himself, if he had to start over again, would he still resolutely file for divorce?
