Under such circumstances, Liu Ruonan was still able to work hard and strive to become stronger, going from nothing to where she is today. Although she is not rich, she has built a piece of land with her own hands.
Xiaofang seemed to have even more respect for Liu Ruonan.
Liu Ruonan simply smiled faintly and said nothing more. Although she forced herself to act calm, those tragic memories could not be easily erased. Perhaps, accepting her rebirth and forgetting those memories would still take some time.
The next day, the wedding was held as scheduled.
However, heavy snow fell in the middle of last night, and in just one night, the entire village was covered in white.
Li Ping was actually quite melancholy. It was such a beautiful wedding day, but it was snowing. Who wouldn't want to have a wedding in beautiful weather? She even began to wonder if the fortune teller was right.
Although the road was a little difficult to walk on, the wedding went on smoothly. Everyone was immersed in a joyous and peaceful atmosphere, especially Chen Wanglong and Tian Ni, who had a constant smile on their faces. After all, it was their own grandson getting married, which was something they had been looking forward to and was very gratified for the elderly.
After the wedding, Liu Ruonan followed Chen Jianmin back home and told her what she thought. Chen Jianmin looked at Liu Ruonan, feeling a little hesitant.
"Nannan, thank you for your kindness. But we still have crops. If everyone leaves, what will happen to them?" After all, I come from a farming family. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. Similarly, the farmland is like heaven to farmers.
Although Chen Jianmin wanted to be closer to his daughter, he was reluctant to leave his land.
"It doesn't matter. When it's time to spray pesticides, weed, and water, you and your uncle-in-law can come back and do the work." Liu Ruonan said. After all, they are hiring people anyway, so why not give the money to their own people?
Chen Jianmin frowned and looked at Zhuang Sheng, as if seeking his opinion.
Zhuang Sheng smiled and said, "Aunt, Nannan is thinking of giving her salary to outsiders. It would be better to give it to you and my uncle-in-law. Besides, she is pregnant now, and I'm afraid she won't be able to do many things herself. After all, you and my uncle-in-law are family, and you are more trustworthy."
Chen Jianmin sighed slightly and said, "Nannan! Actually, I'm happy to be able to help you. How about this! When your uncle comes back, I'll discuss it with him."
It was the first snow of the year, and the weather was exceptionally cold. Outside, the sound of dead branches snapping could be heard, and sparrows chirped on the branches. In the night, the snow-covered yard emitted a faint glow.
Liu Ruonan looked outside through the window, feeling mixed emotions. It seemed that she still needed time to digest the pain in her heart.
Zhuang Sheng came over, closed the window, looked into her eyes tenderly, and said, "Don't get cold."
Liu Ruonan turned and looked at Zhuang Sheng. This was their room, their home, and the place where they consummated their marriage for the first time.
She still remembered that when she consummated her marriage, she was also troubled by those memories, but not as seriously as yesterday. She had always thought that she was a person who could let go easily, but she never thought that she would be so entangled.
She stared at Zhuang Sheng, pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly.
Zhuang Sheng gently pulled Liu Ruonan's hand and gently stroked the back of her hand. Her hand was a little cold, so Zhuang Sheng took a quilt from the side and wrapped Liu Ruonan up.
Liu Ruonan was quite petite. She was wrapped in the quilt, with only her small head exposed. Her eyes were beautiful, as if they were filled with dazzling stars, twinkling.
Zhuang Sheng thought to himself, how could Xiangdong have the heart to treat such a beautiful and cherished girl like this? When he picked up the weapon and attacked Liu Ruonan, didn't he have the slightest bit of compassion?
"Nannan, I'm sorry." Zhuang Sheng looked at Liu Ruonan, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
Liu Ruonan frowned slightly, looked at Zhuang Sheng with a puzzled look, smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
"I should have been by your side earlier, otherwise you wouldn't have suffered so much." Zhuang Sheng said that if he had kept her by his side when he rescued her, perhaps these things would not have happened later.
"Brother Zhuang Sheng, you showed up just in time. In fact, I'm very grateful to God. It's because of your appearance that I was able to be freed from such a miserable life." Liu Ruonan stretched out her hands from the quilt and held Zhuang Sheng's hands.
His hands were cold, almost icy. Liu Ruonan pulled the quilt over Zhuang Sheng, and the two of them sat together under the windowsill, wrapped in the quilt, looking at each other.
Zhuang Sheng shook his head and said apologetically, "You don't know. In fact, I've known you for a long time."
Liu Ruonan naturally knew that in her previous life, Zhuang Sheng couldn't help but tell her all these things. However, in this life, Liu Ruonan didn't know. So, she pretended to be surprised and teased, "Brother Zhuang Sheng, are you stupid? We are from the same village, so it's normal for us to have known each other for a long time. What's more, I'm already famous in our village, haha."
"Famous?" Zhuang Sheng wondered.
"That's right! Who doesn't know that I grew up being beaten and scolded by the Xiangdong family? Everyone looks at me with a look of pity, sadness, and lament. Actually, to be honest... heh, I really don't like them looking at me that way."
Zhuang Sheng shook his head again and lovingly tucked the messy hair on her forehead behind her ears.
"But I feel sorry for you. I've felt sorry for you since the first time I saw you." Zhuang Sheng once again held Liu Ruonan's hand tightly in his palm: "Do you remember? Back then, you were still young, and you went to the mountains alone. You found a big tree, hung a hemp rope, and stuck your head in..."
Thinking of this, Zhuang Sheng's heart tightened and he felt extremely distressed.
"At that time, I happened to pass by, saw you, and saved you! At that time, I thought, how much pain must such a young child have experienced to choose to commit suicide? When I saved you, you were already unconscious, so you didn't know that our fate had already begun long ago."
Liu Ruonan was delighted. Yes! Their fate had actually begun a long time ago, but she looked at Zhuang Sheng in surprise, as if she was speechless.
"I've always wondered, if I hadn't sent you back after rescuing you, would you have escaped Xiangdong's clutches sooner? I've always felt really guilty about this."
