Chapter 223
The next day, Lao You went to work at the printing place despite being covered in injuries. Everyone tried hard to hold back their laughter and no one spoke.
He flipped through the newspaper that Xiao Xu had typeset and proofread while he was away and said, "There are two typos."
Xiao Xu said, "Be careful next time."
He said, "There's always next time, next time. If you're not so cautious in other things, be careful and something bad might happen."
Someone came to see him at noon, and it seemed that he was from his hometown.
Wang Jiazhi felt a headache when she heard that someone from his hometown had come. However, this matter could not be avoided.
Although he was far away, the man's voice was so loud that everyone in the room could hear it clearly.
"Look at you, it's not me, your eldest brother, who's scolding you, but your parents are so angry with you. You've always been quiet and gentle, but who would have thought you'd become so distrustful? Your parents worked so hard to educate you, hoping you'd become a teacher, and yet you insisted on joining that gang and causing such trouble. So many people have died around you, and your parents are worried day and night. Now they want you to find a wife and have a son to carry on the family line. Even if you're beaten to death, you'll leave them an heir. It's a good marriage, and you're asking you to back out like that. There's nothing wrong with that girl, it's just that her family is a little poor, otherwise it wouldn't have been your turn..."
Everyone was stunned and looked at her.
"You didn't even reply to my letters, and you escaped over the wall in the middle of the night after less than a day at home."
His voice wasn't loud enough to be heard clearly. Perhaps he was afraid his parents would force him to get married, so he climbed over the wall and ran away in the middle of the night.
The man finished complaining on behalf of his parents and told him some of his own affairs. Later, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about your brother Yao's work. He will never embarrass you. Forget about driving a car. I can even learn to drive a train and a cannon."
After seeing off the visitor from his hometown, when he came back, everyone acted as if nothing had happened.
In the evening he called her out, and after a moment's thought he said, "I have withdrawn from the marriage proposal in my old home."
"Um."
"I think..." He finally said, "Wait for me. If I can come back, will you marry me?"
"not good."
"Um?"
"Marry me now."
"I'm going to the front to fight. What if I die?"
"You underestimate me. I know you think it's immoral to marry without guaranteeing your own life. If you sacrifice yourself, your wife and children will be left destitute and helpless, which is both irresponsible and immoral. But I don't need to rely on anyone. I've been able to support myself in the past, and I will be able to support myself and my children in the future. I've never needed to rely on anyone for survival." She took a breath and continued, "If you don't marry me, I won't marry anyone else. This isn't just a casual remark driven by emotion. I'm serious, believe it or not."
"I……"
"I won't regret it!"
"I'm afraid you imagine life to be too simple. If I really die..."
"You're not going to die!" she interrupted him immediately, thinking to herself, "It was a bullet wound to the arm that left a scar for life."
Then she said, "I don't want to leave any regrets in my life. If I have seen the light, experienced happiness, even if it was only a brief moment, even if I died early, this life is not a complete loss. If life is nothing but endless pain, what is the meaning of living to be a hundred years old? I don't think like you do. If you die, I will find someone else and live a peaceful and stable life as if nothing had happened. If you are gone, my life will be like a flower withered. What will happen? I will be alone forever."
Seeing them looking at each other with tears in their eyes, he still struggled and did not answer. Wan Zhu rushed in and said, "Team Leader, Xiao Jia has said so much. Why don't you say something!"
Xiao Xu came over and pulled his hands that were holding his head and said, "You are usually so courageous, but don't be so cowardly when it comes to serious moments. The girl has said so much, what else do you want?"
Ruan Liang came over and grabbed his clothes and said, "Why don't you express your opinion!"
They both held their heads in their hands, lowered their heads and said nothing. They really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. When did so many people appear?
