Chapter 675 The Past of the Mute Woman
Ye Rou helped the mute woman sit down and signaled her to calm down.
The mute woman covered her chest with her hands, hunched over in the chair, and cried silently.
Ye Rou didn't say anything and just stayed quietly by his side.
After a while, a strange hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
"Ms. Ye Rou."
Ye Rou was startled and quickly turned to look at the mute woman.
The dumb woman can speak?!
The mute woman lowered her eyes, staring at the floor tiles, and said slowly: "Ms. Ye Rou, let me tell you my story."
The mute woman's original name was Gao Xiaofeng. She was beautiful and had a friendly personality, and was very popular among the boys in the village.
In that era, if you were not married at the age of 19, you were considered an old maid, but Xiaofeng had no choice.
She is the only daughter of her parents, who are old, but she is capable and keeps the whole family moving forward.
The situation at home meant that she could not abandon her parents and get married early.
Xiaofeng is an open-minded person and never gets bogged down in trivial matters. Since things are destined to be like this, why bother herself with troubles?
The boys who had pursued her got married and started their own families one after another, and she kept putting it off until she got older. Just when Xiaofeng thought that this was how her life would be, at the age of 22, a matchmaker suddenly came to her house.
She knew the man the matchmaker was talking about, or rather, everyone in their village actually knew him - Li Cheng.
At such a young age, he has become a senior military officer with a bright future. He is tall and handsome, and is the man admired by all the girls in their village.
Xiaofeng didn't understand.
Given Li Cheng's conditions, if he wanted to get married, he could marry a girl who was younger than her and had a better family background than her. After all, she was older.
Her parents were very satisfied with this marriage. They didn't want to burden their daughter for the rest of her life. Women have to get married sooner or later. Li Cheng's conditions were really something that they would never get again if they missed it.
The betrothal money given by Li Chengjia was very generous.
Xiaofeng's parents agreed, and Xiaofeng married to the next village without knowing why.
Only after entering the Li family did Xiaofeng understand why the Li family chose her.
Li Cheng is disabled.
During a mission, his teammate stepped on a bomb secretly buried by the enemy, and he was affected. Shrapnel shot into his thigh. It was not known where the injury was, but Li Cheng could not stand up.
He became disabled and retired from the army. He lost his coveted job and became a useless person.
Li Cheng felt so disappointed that he locked himself in the house all day and did not allow anyone else to enter.
His parents were superstitious and secretly asked someone to see him. The people said that Li Cheng was haunted by a ghost and needed to find a woman with a strong life to bring him good luck.
Xiaofeng was selected.
Of course, she didn't know these things at that time.
She didn't think disability was a big deal. Since she was married, Li Cheng was her man.
Xiaofeng was just like she was at home, taking care of all the big and small things at home, taking care of Li Cheng's excrement and urination, and massaging his legs all day long.
Xiaofeng lived like this for three years.
Li Cheng also went from resisting and rejecting her at first to acquiescing to her existence.
Three years later, one day, a stranger suddenly came to her house. Xiaofeng went up the mountain to chop firewood and came back. The stranger had already left. She only saw his back.
Having said this, the mute woman paused, her eyes filled with deep hatred.
Ye Rou felt her pain and gently patted the back of her hand.
The mute woman said she was fine, but she felt sick whenever she thought of the past.
Although she didn't know who the strange guest was, Xiaofeng felt that Li Cheng's family was in a very good mood, even Li Cheng, who had a gloomy face all day, had a smile on his face.
He was sitting in the wheelchair that Xiaofeng had made and polished himself, wearing a white shirt and with a handsome face.
Xiaofeng remembered this scene for a long time.
She came in carrying heavy firewood and asked them why they were so happy and if there was any good news.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she asked, the Li family members immediately stopped smiling and looked at her with sullen faces.
The look was full of scrutiny, criticism and rejection. It was extremely unfamiliar and biting. Xiaofeng was so frightened that she stood there, not knowing why.
Only after Li Cheng's father knocked on his pipe and said in a muffled voice, asking her not to ask any questions, did the family's eyes turn away from her.
Xiaofeng always felt that something had happened that she didn't know about.
Three days later, a girl came to the house.
She was very beautiful, wearing a white dress, standing at the door, smiling and asking her: Is Brother Li Cheng here?
Xiaofeng had never seen such a beautiful woman before and was stunned on the spot.
When Li Cheng first came out pushing the wheelchair, the girl threw herself into Li Cheng's arms. Li Cheng, who was always indifferent, hugged the girl with his backhand, and the two of them hugged each other very intimately.
Xiaofeng sensed something was wrong and was about to stop it, but was stopped by her mother-in-law.
She said that the girl was Li Cheng's cousin, and that she was staying at home for a while because of some family matters. She had a good relationship with Li Cheng since childhood, so she asked her not to think too much about it.
Xiaofeng let down her guard and took care of her cousin wholeheartedly.
She was like a servant of the Li family, doing the hardest and most tiring work, planting rice in the fields, chopping wood in the mountains, washing clothes, cooking...
Xiaofeng was very busy. Every time she returned home, she would see Li Cheng sitting in a wheelchair with her cousin sitting next to him. The two of them were holding books and discussing something that was completely unfamiliar to her.
She tried to fit in, but was rudely driven away by Li Cheng every time.
Xiaofeng didn't want to make him unhappy, so she didn't go over to him and make things awkward for him.
At that time, Xiaofeng thought that if she was more diligent and obedient, Li Cheng would sooner or later see her good side and truly accept her.
It's so stupid and ridiculous.
She was a joke from beginning to end.
Suddenly one day, Li Cheng wanted her.
That day was Li Cheng's mother's birthday. Xiaofeng was busy running around. Her mother-in-law praised Xiaofeng for being diligent and sensible, and said she was a good daughter-in-law.
Seeing how happily the mother-in-law and Xiaofeng got along, the villagers praised them one after another, saying that they were just like real mother and daughter.
Xiaofeng was also very excited.
This was the first time her mother-in-law praised her in three years.
After a tiring whole day, Xiaofeng was able to eat a meal only after seeing off the villagers in the evening.
The mother-in-law said that her life was not easy and asked her not to work too hard. She left a lot of meat for her and drank with her and said a lot of heartfelt words.
Xiaofeng returned to the room drunk, and was pinned down by the man as soon as she got on the bed.
She was startled at first, but when she smelled the bitter smell of medicine - Li Cheng's leg injury needed medicine, she knew it was Li Cheng. She did not resist and acquiesced to the man's actions.
The next morning, she was awakened by screams. She opened her eyes in a daze, but before she was fully awake, the broom hit her.
Her mother-in-law cursed and shouted that she would beat her to death as a bitch.
Xiaofeng was startled and woke up completely. She could see the face of the man sleeping next to her. He was the second-rate guy in the village who loved to have affairs with widows.
She was covered in marks and naked, and it was clear what had happened.
The village chief came and brought people to tie her and the scoundrel up.
The second-rate guy actually slandered Li Cheng by saying that his legs were disabled and he hadn't touched Xiaofeng for three years. She couldn't bear the loneliness and took the initiative to seduce the second-rate guy.
When the mother-in-law heard the scoundrel slandering her son, she was so angry that she started cursing.
Li Cheng also looked at her with disappointment.
Xiaofeng tried her best to explain, but no one believed her.
She was sent back to her parents' home with a stigma on her body.
The villagers also believed it, cursed and insulted him...
Xiaofeng's parents were old and could not bear the blow. Her father died of suffocation and her mother hanged herself.
She fell into complete despair, her sanity was in jeopardy, and she stayed at home all day, telling herself that she did not seduce anyone, and she really did not.
If her childhood friend hadn't come and woke her up, she might have lived her whole life in a daze.
The friend told her everything that happened to the Li family after she left.
Li Cheng was deeply hurt by her cuckolding behavior, but with the careful care and companionship of his cousin, he recovered greatly and even his leg healed.
He has now returned to the army and is going to marry my younger cousin.
Xiaofeng felt heartbroken when she heard this, but she was also genuinely happy for Li Cheng.
When I first arrived, my friend said, "How could such a coincidence happen in this world?"
