Chapter 2 How could I hate you?
The answer is no!
Zhou Yong quickly went over everything in his mind, took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
Gigolo?
Live-in son-in-law?
In his previous life, he hated it most when someone mentioned these two words in front of him. Whenever someone mentioned them, he would definitely argue with them...
Thinking back to his past childish behavior, Zhou Yong now felt that he was ridiculous.
He took big strides to catch up with Li Caiyun and hugged her from behind.
Li Caiyun bit her lips tightly, holding back the urge to cry, mistakenly thinking that Zhou Yong's every move was just to avoid making a big deal out of the divorce. In an instant, her heart seemed to fall into an icy cave.
She calmed down and said calmly, "Zhou Yong, tell me, why am I inferior to Bai Jie?"
When hearing this name, Zhou Yong's pupils suddenly shrank and his brows were filled with disgust.
Bai Jie is a female educated youth who was sent down to Huaixi Village. She is not only beautiful, but also an intellectual. Many unmarried and married men in the village are very attentive to her, and are willing to work hard for her.
In public, she always has a pure and innocent face, but in private, she has had ambiguous relationships with countless men...
Zhou Yong was one of the victims. Bai Jie approached him actively and acted pitiful in front of him. After Zhou Yong got a place to return home from Li Baotian, she kicked him into the abyss...
Zhou Yong frowned and said, "She is not even one ten-thousandth as good as you. There is no comparison between you two."
Li Caiyun's eyes widened in disbelief: "It has come to this, you don't have to lie to me anymore."
Zhou Yong did not lie to Li Caiyun, he just told the truth.
However, it was difficult for Li Caiyun to believe this. After all, Zhou Yong was almost inseparable from Bai Jie in the past few years because of work.
Zhou Yong let go of Li Caiyun and came in front of her.
"Xiao Yun, I still say the same thing, Bai Jie and I are innocent."
"You are innocent? You are innocent and you divorce me for her?"
The reason why Zhou Yong filed for divorce was not because of the educated youth Bai Jie, but because of the so-called face and self-esteem.
He had no intention of having a romantic relationship with Bai Jie, he just felt pity for her. However, he did not expect that Bai Jie would be a complete liar who was full of lies.
Zhou Yong sighed and said, "Xiao Yun, the reason I filed for divorce is that I couldn't stand the rumors..."
It's not easy to be a son-in-law. No matter how hard he works over the years and how much he does for the villagers, in the end others will still point fingers at him.
Some people even told him frankly that he was able to achieve his current status thanks to marrying a good wife.
How could Zhou Yong, as a man, tolerate such words? Gradually, he began to hate his mother, and even more so, he hated those who took advantage of his misfortune.
Li Caiyun listened quietly to Zhou Yong's statement, feeling as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
Li Baotian's wife suffered an injury when she was young, and she was nearly 30 years old when she became pregnant with Li Caiyun, her only daughter.
The couple treated their daughter like a treasure, and when Li Caiyun reached marriageable age, they were reluctant to marry her off, so they wanted to find a son-in-law to live with them.
Since ancient times, sons-in-law who marry into the wife's family have been inferior to others. As long as the family conditions are decent, they don't want their sons to become sons-in-law who marry into the wife's family.
Unfortunately, the Zhou family was poor. Zhou Yong had three younger brothers and two younger sisters. He was the eldest in the family, but he still couldn't find a wife until he was 20 years old.
After the Li family announced that they wanted to recruit a live-in son-in-law, Zhou Yong's mother began to think about selling her son.
His mother threatened to commit suicide and sold him to the Li family for one hundred yuan.
Since then, Zhou Yong has never called his mother "Mom" again. Although they live in the same village, he has almost cut off contact with the Zhou family...
"So you hate me, right?"
Hate her?
Zhou Yong never hated anyone in the Li family, he only hated the Zhou family.
Because Li Baotian never forced Zhou Yong to marry a son-in-law. When he learned that Zhou Yong was unwilling to be a son-in-law, he even took the initiative to go to Zhou's house to cancel the engagement.
Zhou Yong's mother didn't expect that she used the money from selling him and secretly arranged marriages for his two younger brothers without telling him.
At that time, Zhou Yong was disheartened and married Li Caiyun in a fit of anger.
In fact, Li Baotian was against this marriage at that time, but Li Caiyun was willing to do so.
Zhou Yong raised his hand and pinched Li Caiyun's cheek: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I hate you?"
Li Caiyun stood there in a daze. In their three-year marriage, this was the first time Zhou Yong took the initiative to be so intimate with her!
Zhou Yong didn't know what Li Caiyun was thinking. He hugged her in his arms and said sincerely, "Xiaoyun, I'm sorry."
This sorry came from the bottom of his heart, he owed it to Li Caiyun.
Thinking of the scene of her tragic death, Zhou Yong couldn't help but tighten his arms around Li Caiyun, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"So our marriage is doomed to fail, right?"
Li Caiyun is a very traditional woman at heart. To her, marriage means that a good woman does not marry a second husband.
So after she and Zhou Yong went through the divorce procedures, she chose to end her life alone in the mountains. When her body was found, it had been torn apart by wild wolves, leaving only half of her body...
Bloody scenes appeared before his eyes, and Zhou Yong secretly swore in his heart that he would never let Li Caiyun down again in this life.
It doesn’t matter if there is no affection, they can develop it slowly.
As for other things, they are no longer important to Zhou Yong who has come back from the dead.
So what if he’s a live-in son-in-law?
It is enough that his father-in-law and mother-in-law always put him first and take good care of him as their son-in-law.
"Xiao Yun, what I just said was just angry words, don't take it seriously..."
Now that he has a fresh start, Zhou Yong will naturally not go back to his old ways.
Zhou Yong’s words shocked Li Caiyun. Her big eyes didn’t blink at all, as if she was frozen in place!
"Are you serious?"
Li Caiyun asked this question very carefully, her palm-sized face full of nervousness and anticipation.
Although it is now 1970, divorce is still a very unfamiliar word to people in remote areas.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, neither men nor women will think of divorce.
Zhou Yong's eyes were filled with smiles. He stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek and tried to make up for what he had said before: "Of course it's true? The reason I said that was because I got mad outside... But I promise you, I will never say that again..."
Li Caiyun blinked, thinking back to what had just happened. She always felt that Zhou Yong was not saying what he meant, and his every move tonight was very strange.
Her eyes drooped, her expression dimmed, and her heart was beating fast.
Seeing Li Caiyun keeping her head down and keeping silent, he felt very nervous.
Because he knew very well that his every move at this moment was extremely abnormal, and was completely different from his usual behavior.
Li Caiyun slowly raised her head and looked at Zhou Yong. She said, "You are afraid that our divorce will affect your work as a timekeeper, right? That's why you said these words to deceive me, right?
Actually, there is no need for this. Even if we get divorced, my father will not take away your job as a timekeeper without distinguishing between public and private affairs..."
this?
I swear to God, he has never had such thoughts in his past or present life.
Zhou Yong knew that no matter how he explained, he would not easily gain Li Caiyun's trust.
It was because he had said something final before, but he changed his words in less than five minutes. Anyone would be suspicious.
Zhou Yong stared at Li Caiyun's chattering mouth, frowned slightly, and the next second he pushed her against the tree trunk...
