Chapter 332: The Wife-Waiting Stone, Eighty Years of Separation
"Liu Yucai!" She broke down instantly: "You want to go alone?"
"Honey, believe me!" he said, raising his finger and swearing, "I promise to come back!"
"How could I possibly leave you here alone? I already said I'd come pick you up when I made some money."
"Don't worry, I'm educated and capable enough to find a job there."
"I will come back to pick you up within a year!" he said as he stuffed the cash he had on him into her hands.
"Take this money first. Will you wait until I know?"
"Are you going or not?" the boatman urged, "If not, we'll leave!"
Although Tian Junying was reluctant in his heart, he still chose to believe him in the end.
"Okay, don't forget, you must remember to come back to find me!" She held his hand reluctantly.
Only after knowing Liu Yu did he get on the boat and disappear on the river.
The boat has to cross the river and then take a ferry for two days and two nights on the sea to reach Hong Kong.
In this era of constant gunfire, Tian Junying stayed alone in the old house in his hometown.
I waited for two or three months and almost used up all the money I had.
Finally, she received a letter from Liu Yucai, which said that he had found a job in Hong Kong.
When he makes money, he will come back to find her and take her away.
Tian Junying felt comforted and decided to wait until he came back no matter how hard or tired she was.
Until one day, she found out she was pregnant.
So she immediately wrote a letter to Liu Yucai and told him the good news.
But the other party did not reply for a long time, and she wrote several more letters but there was no response.
All the news seemed to have fallen into oblivion until she gave birth to a son alone.
In this day and age, it is extremely difficult for a woman to live with a child.
While she was looking for things to do with her children, she continued to write letters to Liu Yucai.
Even after her child grew up, she still called her husband's workplace.
But she was told that there was no such person as Liu Yucai in their newspaper.
He lost contact, and Tian Junying thought that something must have happened to him and that was why he couldn't be contacted.
She waited until the war was over and returned to her old house in her hometown, hoping for a lucky break.
Every day she would come to this riverbank and stand there for most of the day.
She felt that as long as she waited here, her husband, who had promised to come back to pick her up, would definitely come back.
Decades later, when the family's conditions improved, his son Liu Fu also went to Hong Kong.
I took a photo of my father when he was young to look for people, but it had been so long that no one recognized him.
Even the original newspaper had closed down long ago, and Liu Yu had disappeared without a trace.
Time went by longer and longer, and Tian Junying had been waiting for eighty years.
Her mind was no longer clear, and sometimes she didn't even recognize the people around her.
But she would still stand by the riverbank every day, waiting for her husband to come back and pick her up.
The villagers gave her a nickname, "Waiting Husband Stone".
Later, my family no longer tried to stop me, and whenever they had time, they would stand in the river with me for a few hours in advance.
Until the night of New Year's Eve, the whole family prepared for the New Year as usual.
The five generations living under one roof were extremely lively. Perhaps feeling that his own death was coming to an end, Tian Junying, who had just eaten the dumplings, insisted on going to the river.
I didn't want her to go out and wanted to wait until tomorrow morning to accompany her to the river.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Tian Junying lay down on the edge of the bed.
Out of a hundred years, eighty years have been spent waiting for someone to come back.
In the end, I still didn't wait for that person at the last moment of my life.
After his death, Tian Junying's soul was trapped in obsession, and he finally pushed open the coffin and came out.
He came to the river again alone, but Liu Yu didn't come back until he came back.
Meng Fuling withdrew her hand. Such a cause and effect was really sad.
[No way! This old lady is so pitiful. She waited for her husband for eighty years but never got him.]
[Eighty years, that man would have been over a hundred years old. If he wanted to come back, he would have come back long ago.]
[Another infatuated woman who has been betrayed. I've tried to find her but couldn't find her. Unless she doesn't want to be found.]
[Men's words are deceitful. They are probably deliberately not contacting each other. In those days, if you lost contact, you would never see each other again.]
[He abandoned his wife and children. I guess he chose to disappear after seeing that he already had a child. His whole life of waiting was in vain.]
Tian Junying lay on the ground crying sadly, and Meng Fuling sighed and passed away.
"It's not that your husband refuses to come back to see you, but he has been dead for a long time!"
"What did you say?" She looked at Meng Fuling in disbelief: "He's dead?"
"Liu Yu died only eighty years ago. He didn't forget you, but he couldn't fulfill his promise."
"In fact, after he went to Hong Kong, he did look for a job."
Meng Fuling's book of life and death stated that he died less than three months after they parted ways.
Liu Yucai took a ferry to Hong Kong, where he looked for jobs everywhere in order to find one quickly.
But even though he was well educated, he couldn't find a suitable job in Hong Kong.
Afraid that Tian Junying would worry, he wrote a letter and lied to him that he had found a job at a newspaper.
In order to make money as soon as possible, he found a job writing letters for others.
But the money I earned was too little, and as a foreigner I didn't speak the language and was often bullied.
In order to earn more money and go home to pick up his wife earlier, he had no choice but to go to the dock to move goods.
How could a frail scholar like him do such heavy work? On his way home, he was hit by a car and seriously injured.
The other party was a wealthy foreigner, and I gave him some money and left him alone.
Liu Yucai was seriously injured and had no money for treatment. He suffered for two months and eventually died.
Before he died, he was still thinking about Tian Junying in his heart, and he didn't even know that he had a son.
After hearing what Meng Fuling said, Tian Junying cried even more sadly.
"So, let go of your obsession. He has never betrayed you."
"Yucai!" Tian Junying shouted towards the river: "Wait for me, I'm coming to find you!"
At this moment, she closed her eyes, and Meng Fuling pinched her fingers and muttered: "Purification!"
The hostility in her body gradually disappeared, and a blue light dissipated with the wind.
Tian Junying fell to the ground, leaving only a body.
The live broadcast room fell silent again, and the atmosphere reached freezing point.
[Sorry, I take that back. There are still good men out there, but sometimes you just can't help it.]
[People in that era were truly helpless. They never expected that the person they were waiting for would die so early.]
[Another heartbreaking story that brings tears to your eyes. She died before her husband could let go of his obsession.]
[I'm so sad. I can't stop crying. My parents' generation really had a hard time.]
[After Grandma Tian passed away, could she really see her husband again? It had been eighty years.]
Of course they couldn't meet, because Liu Yucai had been reincarnated long ago, and their fate as husband and wife in the previous life had ended.
"Love is as far as the mountains and seas, but they cannot be leveled. The sea has boats to cross, the mountains have roads to walk on. This love can cross mountains and seas, but they can also be leveled."
Meng Fuling said calmly: "The only thing that separates us in this world is yin and yang, and the vastness of life and death is the most difficult to reconcile!"
The police operation ended with the search for the body on New Year's Day.
Now that the body has been found, the Liu family took it back and reburied it.
