Chapter 1 Her cheated husband is coming back

"The fever has subsided, why hasn't he woken up yet? It's been three days..."

"Xixi, why are you so stupid? Even if things really get to the point of divorce, you wouldn't jump into the river!"

"If anything happens to you, how will your parents live?"

…

While his consciousness was blurred, Ye Muqi heard a strange voice in his ear and the pungent smell of disinfectant at the tip of his nose.

She slowly opened her eyes and was blinded by the white light, making it difficult for her to see clearly. After she adjusted to the light, she saw a woman's face that was old but still very beautiful.

"Xiqi, are you awake? How are you feeling? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Xia Ying saw Ye Muqi open his eyes and hurried over to ask.

"I..." Ye Muqi opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, and his throat was swollen and painful, as if it had been cut by a knife. He had just uttered one word when the rest was forced to be muted automatically.

"Don't be in a hurry, drink some water first." Xia Ying quickly poured her a glass of water, put it to her lips and fed her.

Ye Muqi saw her coming over with an enamel cup that looked very old, the paint on the cup even peeled off a bit...

But her mouth was dry now, so she drank half a cup of warm water.

After drinking the water, my throat felt better and I began to accept the memories in my brain.

She has now traveled to Bada Town, Jiangcheng County in the 1980s, to the body of a girl with the same name and surname as her, 20 years old and married.

The original owner's mother was an educated youth who went to the countryside, and she was the most beautiful one in that group. Her father, Ye Zhengfeng, was an employee in a steel factory, and her mother worked in a cotton factory. With both of them working, the family conditions were quite good.

Because of this, the original owner was spoiled into a waste, and did not even go to high school and just played at home. At this time last year, the original owner fell in love with a soldier who came back to town to visit his family, so she pestered him and insisted on dating him!

The soldier didn't like her. He thought that a girl like her who only had good looks had a kind of pure stupidity and it was obvious that she didn't know how to live.

But the original owner didn't give up, and even staged a scene himself, running out of his house naked with only a bed sheet wrapped around him, and was seen by the neighbors at the time...

Ye Muqi's reputation was ruined, and the soldier was forced to report the marriage to his superiors. The two got the marriage certificate first, and then he abandoned them and returned to the North China War Zone. Now a year has passed, and the soldier has not returned. Many people in the town said that their marriage might be ruined, so the original owner was too sad and jumped into the river.

She was picked up and had a high fever for several days. I guess the CPU was burned out, so she came here.

Ye Muqi, who accepted the original owner's memory, thought to himself: WTF?!

This fucking thrilling plot would be quite explosive even in modern times!

"Xixi, if you and Jingchen really get divorced, Mom will find you another one... Don't you like being a soldier? Then your dad and I will find you another one." Xia Ying saw her daughter was dumbfounded after drinking water, and it seemed that she couldn't speak. She felt so distressed, "Say something, don't scare me!"

"mother……?"

Alas, this is called someone who is not your biological mother. It is really awkward.

"I'm fine..." Ye Muqi shook his head.

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay." Xia Ying wiped her tears and nodded with relief, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

"I don't have much appetite now. I don't feel like eating."

This body has just woken up, has a splitting headache, feels sore and weak, and has no appetite to eat.

"But you haven't eaten for three days. I'll buy you a small bowl of wontons. Eat as much as you can." Xia Ying said.

"Okay...thank you."

As soon as Xia Ying left, Ye Muqi looked around.

She should be in a hospital now. The four corners of the ward looked a bit shabby and there was no air conditioning. There were only two hanging fans in the whole ward that were slowly shaking and making a "whoosh" sound. Ye Muqi was sleeping on a bed next to the window. A corner of the glass window was broken and covered with newspaper.

However, medical conditions were limited in that era, especially in a small town. It was considered good to be able to stay in a ward with a fan.

Xia Ying quickly bought a bowl of wontons near the hospital and fed it to Ye Muqi bite by bite.

After she had eaten two, the door of the ward was pushed open and a woman about the same age as Xia Ying walked in. It was her mother-in-law Yin Lan.

Ye Muqi took a look at the mother-in-law. She was not tall, but looked quite heroic and serious.

Yin Lan looked at Ye Muqi, whose face was pale and even his lips were bloodless, and looked pitiful. She sighed softly, "Are you awake? You silly child, you couldn't have committed suicide by jumping into the river. Fortunately, you managed to survive."

“…”

I said the one who jumped into the river is gone, do you believe it?

"Jingchen wrote last week saying he would be back. He will probably be here the day after tomorrow. Then you two young people can have a good chat."

"ah……"

Her husband who was cheated is coming back?

This is a hard conversation!

Yin Lan didn't really dislike this girl. She was pretty, but she was really pretentious. After getting the marriage certificate, she went to her house and said she wanted to be a good daughter-in-law. She cleaned the house actively every day. After a week, the house became more and more messy, to the point that Yin Lan couldn't stand it anymore.

Then she was asked to wash clothes. After only two days of washing, the girl dislocated her hand and ran home to recuperate.

After raising her for about half a year, she finally realized that she was not good at doing housework, so she thought about learning to cook. After almost burning down her kitchen, she went out and found a restaurant to start learning cooking seriously. I don’t know how she is doing now.

To be honest, Yin Lan feels that her ability to withstand stress has improved a lot since she met her daughter-in-law!

"Mother-in-law, when Jingchen comes back, come to my house and we'll have dinner together." Xia Ying felt that it was time to make things clear, otherwise her daughter would still be upset.

"good."

Ye Muqi: "..."

So, no one asked her opinion again?

…

After the last bottle of water was administered that night, Ye Muqi was discharged from the hospital. Seeing that she was still a little depressed, Xia Ying patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Okay, okay, won't we be able to see each other soon? Don't do anything stupid again!"

"I understand, Mom. I won't do anything stupid again."

Ye Muqi pursed her lips lightly, and fragments of memory flashed through her mind.

actually……

It was not the original owner who jumped into the river.
