Chapter 1: Stop Harming Him
"Mu Chenze, I'm sorry! You don't have to take responsibility for what happened yesterday. I was attracted by your family's wealth, so I planned to kiss you. Now I know I was wrong. Go away, I won't marry you."
Under the big locust tree, Chu Xuan lowered his head.
She really didn't have the face to look at the man in front of her.
In her previous life, she was possessed and, at the instigation of her grandmother Feng Chunhua, she planned to kiss Mu Chenze in public and then depended on him.
She threatened at that time that if he didn't marry her, she would die.
The Mu family had a conscience and agreed.
Feng Chunhua asked for a dowry of 2,000 yuan, and the Mu family agreed.
Even though she didn't have any dowry, the Mu family didn't look down on her.
She was the one who was bewildered. After she got married, she was lazy and ate a lot. She would curse her in-laws whenever she was unhappy. She was also willing to be a brother-supporting woman and subsidize the Chu family from time to time.
As a result, Feng Chunhua raised Chu Feng astray, and he indulged in all kinds of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. When Chu Feng was 20 years old, he committed a crime and spent the rest of his life in prison.
In order to get her brother sentenced to fewer years, Chu Xuan begged her in-laws to run around everywhere.
The in-laws agreed to the plan, putting aside past grudges and contributing money and effort to find connections. Unfortunately, on the way, they were in a car accident. My father-in-law and Mu Chenze died on the spot, my eldest brother Mu Chenfu was paralyzed for life, my eldest sister-in-law lost both legs, Chu Xuan was blinded due to an eye injury, and my mother-in-law Qin Mahua couldn't bear the blow and died of a heart attack. My nephew was only five years old...
It was not until then that Chu Xuan felt guilty towards her husband's family. Blind, she groped her way back to her parents' home with great difficulty, hoping that they would help her and her husband's family. After all, she had previously subsidized her parents' home with tens of thousands of yuan. What she didn't expect was that Feng Chunhua and her second uncle Chu Zhi tricked her into taking a boat to the county bank to withdraw money, but pushed her into the sea halfway.
Eventually she drowned in the sea and woke up in 1983, when she was 20 years old.
I haven't gone to cause trouble to anyone yet.
Seeing Mu Chenze remained silent, Chu Xuan grew anxious. She stared at him with tears in her eyes filled with guilt, "Just leave now. I don't like you, and I don't have to marry you. I'll tell others that I accidentally fell yesterday and bumped into your mouth. It was a misunderstanding."
She knew that she was fat and ugly, and the expression on her face at this moment was definitely not one of pity in Mu Chenze's eyes, but one of disgust.
This is exactly the effect we want.
Rejecting the marriage proposal cleanly and neatly is the only way to make up for Mu Chenze and his family in the previous life.
However, after she said that, she didn't see any annoyance on his face, but only found that he was suppressing his anger.
Yesterday was Mu Chenze’s first kiss, but it was ruined by someone’s scheme. He was very angry, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged, as if he wanted to hit someone.
But Chu Xuan was sure that he would never hit her, because she had done that in her previous life, but he had never hit her.
As expected, he quickly adjusted his mood. "There are so many girls who are attracted to my family's money. Yesterday, your grandmother came to my house and said that if I didn't marry you after the kiss, you would die. Today I'm here to propose marriage. I really want to marry you. Are you really not going to marry me?"
Chu Xuan's heart trembled. She must never harm such a good man again in this life.
Pretending to be firm, he said, "That's right. I don't plan to get married."
She didn't say, "You deserve a better wife."
Instead, he added, "I can swear to heaven that I, Chu Xuan, will never die."
Hearing this, Mu Chenze couldn't help but put his hands on his face. With such an attractive face of his, he was actually designed by a girl and then rejected by her?
Fortunately, Mu Chenze was open-minded by nature and soon let it go.
But it also further confirms that the saying "women are trouble" is a golden saying.
Well, it doesn’t matter whether he gets married or not.
"Then do as you say."
I'm too lazy to bother with the woman in front of me.
He silently consoled himself, thinking that his first kiss was gone, and that he was a man, so he wouldn't suffer any loss. He couldn't blame anyone else for being tricked this time, but only himself for not being vigilant enough. He would learn from his mistakes and never let a woman trick him again.
He waved goodbye, picked up the gift, and returned the same way.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the locust flowers on the tree fluttered.
Chu Xuan stood in the rain of locust flowers with a peaceful look on her face.
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Mu Chenze who turned around.
However, Mu Chenze quickly adjusted his gaze and walked towards home...
After watching Mu Chenze leave, Chu Xuan did not go home.
She went straight to Aunt Hua's house next door and deliberately said that what happened between her and Mu Chenze yesterday was a misunderstanding and that she didn't like Mu Chenze at all.
The reason why he didn't like her was that Mu Chenze was too handsome. Even though he often went out to sea, his skin was still so white. Pretty boys were unreliable.
Who is Aunt Hua? It was the village loudspeaker. Within half an hour after Chu Xuan left, the news spread throughout the village.
Chu Xuan doesn’t like Mu Chenze?
When these words reached Mu Chenze's mother, Qin Mahua, she couldn't help but wonder, "How did that big, fat girl Chu Xuan have the courage to say such a thing? No one in our family thinks she's ugly, but she thinks my second son is too handsome?"
Although he grumbled a lot, Qin Mahua was not the kind of person who would stir up trouble, so he didn't say much to others.
The Chu family was the last to know.
After Chu Xuan left Aunt Hua's house, he went straight to see the dilapidated Chu family house, which was more than 20 minutes' walk from the beach. There were four large houses in total, two of which could be lived in after being renovated, and the other two had collapsed.
It's time to split up.
Only after the family split up could she personally educate her younger brother. Even if he had gone astray a little now, there was still time to correct him.
My father passed away a long time ago, and my mother remarried and moved to another place and we no longer have any contact.
Grandpa Chu Dashan, uncle Chu Zhi and younger brother Chu Feng go out to sea on the boat every day.
Chu Xuan's heart ached when she thought about her younger brother who was only twelve years old and was doing adult work on the boat, and gave all the money he earned to his grandmother Feng Chunhua.
Chu Xuan didn't plan to repair the roof himself. After all, he weighed at least 200 pounds, and if he didn't break the ladder, he would at least collapse the roof.
As for choosing the old house to live in in the future, it is because it is close to the beach and convenient for going to the sea.
Live by the sea.
After the old house was divided, two rooms were kept for temporary residence after some minor renovations, and the remaining two rooms were demolished, and new houses were built on the original land.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money now, you will have it soon.
When the tide goes out around 5 o'clock this afternoon, a king mackerel will be stranded. There are gold ingots in the fish's belly. If we sell them, we can not only repair the old house, but also build a new one.
In her previous life, she picked up the king mackerel in this small fishing village in the north. However, she was so foolish that she gave the fish and the gold ingots to Feng Chunhua without hesitation. The gold ingots were sold for more than two thousand yuan at that time, and she didn't get a penny.
If nothing unexpected happens in this life, I can still pick it up.
She won't be that stupid anymore.
