Thinking of this, Han Luoxue's expression changed slightly; she should remind Wang Yan.
Zhou Jun's mother already disliked her a bit. If she got pregnant before marrying him, she would be unable to hold her head high in her husband's family.
The couple's new house was right next to the Du family's. The ceremony was very lively, much more interesting than when Han Luoxue used to live there all the time.
Han Luoxue kept smiling, while Han Qiang was so excited that his eyes turned red and tears streamed down his face.
Unbeknownst to everyone, in the distant Li Family Village, a woman lay in bed, her face haggard and her body emaciated. She was so thin she was practically skin and bones, her body and face reduced to bare bones.
Her eyes were wide open, and she was now breathing more in than out.
The man beside her complained, "What bad luck! If you're going to die, just die already! Why drag this on?"
He glared impatiently at the woman on the kang (a heated brick bed), then turned and walked out.
Before leaving, he slammed the door shut.
The woman lying down moved her eyes, her lips parted, and a tear rolled down her dry cheek.
She suddenly remembered her time in Hutouya Village.
Their family was already living well, because the man was the village head, so even when everyone else in the village was starving, their family could still eat their fill.
She started dating that man when she was fourteen, and he treated her well; at least he never hit her.
Back then, her parents always told her that even if a woman got married and had children, her maternal family was still her only support.
From a young age, she knew that her older and younger brothers were her responsibility, and that even if the family's living conditions improved, she should not forget her maternal family.
So, when the man wasn't looking, she would always secretly send some things from home to her parents' house.
After getting married, she had no idea how much she had received from her parents' family.
It wasn't until later, when things got really bad, that her husband couldn't take it anymore, and her children stopped caring about her. In the end, she was sent back to her parents' home.
At first, she thought the man was just angry and would take her back after his anger subsided. Then she could still support her family. But she never expected that this time the man was determined.
She was abandoned. Her family knew they couldn't extract any value from her anymore, so they sold her directly to an old bachelor in the village.
From then on, her life became increasingly bitter and difficult.
The last time she saw her husband, that heartless man, even knowing she was not doing well, did not take her away.
Later on, the old bachelor became increasingly unreasonable, constantly beating and verbally abusing her. Meanwhile, her mother, brothers, sisters-in-law, and other relatives would come over every few days to ask her for things.
Finally, the man lost his temper and beat her severely. She lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) and never got up again.
Now, her days are numbered, and she suddenly thinks of her children at home.
Han Kun, that's her youngest son. He's not young anymore, he should be getting married soon, right?
I wonder if she will think of her former mother when she gets married?
Li Aidi suddenly wanted to see her youngest son, but unfortunately she had no strength left in her body, and even turning her eyes was tiring.
She is now severely depleted, and her body has become so thin that she is no longer recognizable.
Her family didn't come to help her. She never expected that her mother, who used to save food for her family, would come to see her when she was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) unable to get up after being beaten, and then hurriedly leave.
Before leaving, he cursed her, calling her a good-for-nothing.
Her beloved little nephew also came over several times, each time sneaking over to grab her hand and saying pitifully, "Auntie, I'm hungry!"
But by then, she had no strength left. She had nothing to eat either. When the child realized that she had nothing left to eat, he raised his hand and slapped her face several times.
Although the child wasn't very strong, it still hurt when he hit her face.
"Hmph, you useless thing! No wonder Grandma and Mom said you're a good-for-nothing! It hurts my hand to hit you..."
He even waved his hand dismissively: "I'm never coming to see you again! You ugly freak!"
Li Aidi was heartbroken. She never expected that her beloved nephew would say such a thing to her.
When you run to her side, you don't say that. Instead, she takes your hand and says affectionately, "I knew Auntie was the best to me!"
Thinking about her tragic life, Li Aidi was filled with regret.
In a daze, she seemed to have left the simple home that had confined her for months and arrived at the familiar Hutouya Village. She found that the village was completely different from before, and she didn't recognize many people in the village anymore.
Where is her husband? Where is her son? Where is her grandson? It seems that no one connected to her is here.
Not far away on the street, two familiar ladies were talking. Li Aidi went over and heard them saying, "Why were we so stupid back then? We had already agreed on something, why did we go back on our word? I heard they're living a very good life in the capital!" one woman complained indignantly.
"Yeah, I regret it so much now. That brat Han Luoxue is so stingy. We're all from the same village, why is she being so petty? Wouldn't it have been better if she had just brought us to the capital too?"
"Hey, let me tell you something, but don't tell anyone. I heard it from Han Lenghua the other day. Apparently, Han Luoxue's business over there is bigger than here. She's built a lot of bases and has farms and such. She's contracted all the land near that village to grow grains, vegetables, and fruits, plus she has several farms, so the villagers can work there."
