Chapter 2 My Fierce Wife 2
But the original owner wanted to get married; he didn't want to be a bachelor.
So when he met Li Chuncao again, he lied and said that his family had agreed to the separation of the family, but they couldn't separate immediately after the marriage; they had to wait a while.
Because it would definitely not look good to outsiders, and they would think that you separated from the family after marrying in, and that you were a troublemaker. The original owner lied without batting an eye.
Li Chuncao also thought it made sense.
As long as they agree to separate the family, it's fine; we can even separate later.
When the original owner saw that she had agreed, she immediately asked her stepmother to find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage. Huang Zhaodi didn't want to at all. She thought it would be best if the original owner never got married and only contributed to her younger siblings.
Moreover, Li Chuncao doesn't look like an honest person at all. She wants to separate from the family before she's even married into the family. There will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future. It's better not to marry her at all.
So she didn't take it to heart at all; it was Ji's father, Ji Shichui, who went to find the person.
There was nothing they could do; the villagers were just there to laugh at them.
But Huang Zhaodi wasn't afraid of being laughed at; she was exactly what others called a tough nut to crack.
The original owner was very happy after the two got married, and finally lived a life of wife, children and a warm bed.
Although I don't have children yet.
Li Chuncao urged him to divide the family property, but he kept making excuses, saying that it was too early to divide the property during the busy farming season.
After the busy farming season ended, they said Dad was coughing again. There are more children in the family now, so we'll have to wait a bit longer.
We'll separate the household once we have children.
After having a child, the original owner started making excuses, saying that they would separate the family after the childbirth period, otherwise no one would take care of the child.
However, after she gave birth, the family did not separate, and no one took care of Li Chuncao during her postpartum period.
Just two days after giving birth, Huang Zhaodi started scolding her and telling her to get out of bed and do chores.
The original owner remained silent on the side.
Because she gave birth to a daughter, the original owner said directly during the night's rest that it was impossible to separate the family, and that they would talk about it after she gave birth to a son.
Huang Zhaodi heard this from outside and immediately started cursing and shouting that dividing the family property was impossible, and that it could only happen after the couple died.
Li Chuncao then heard Huang Zhaodi say, "You said before you got married that it was impossible to separate the family, but you still married into the family, didn't you? Now you're talking about separating the family again? Don't even think about it!"
Li Chuncao then realized that the original owner of this body had been lying to her from the very beginning.
She questioned the original owner, who then admitted it.
They also said she was unfilial and wanted to separate from the family, which would have resulted in her being beaten in other people's homes.
Then I advised her not to think about separating the family anymore, that it was fine as it was, the family was living together in harmony and no one was starving.
He told her to rest for a few days before going back to work, and that he would talk to her stepmother, Huang Zhaodi.
The original owner thought she was great; no one disliked her after she gave birth to a daughter, and she figured she could have more after having one.
Li Chuncao was so angry she almost fainted.
Where is the harmony?
She and the original owner worked like oxen, while everyone else enjoyed themselves.
They endured all the hardships, working harder than oxen, yet they ate the least at home.
If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred not to get married at all and just wasted my life.
Unfortunately, she was in postpartum confinement and couldn't get angry.
There's no way she'll get out of bed.
No matter what others said, she stubbornly allowed herself to recover for a full month. If Huang Zhaodi wouldn't give her any food, then she would eat the original owner's food.
Let him go hungry.
It was also during her postpartum period that the educated youth from the settlement came to visit her, bringing a newspaper that said the college entrance examination had been reinstated.
Li Chuncao looked at her daughter and made a decision in her heart.
The original owner breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she no longer talked about the division of the family, thinking that she had come to her senses. Huang Zhaodi felt relieved when she saw that no matter how she scolded her, she had no reaction. She felt that she had suppressed her and was also happy.
She couldn't hide her college entrance exam results. At first, her family was worried and thought that even if she passed, they wouldn't let her go. But as other educated youth received their admission notices one after another, and there was still no news about her results, they assumed that she hadn't passed.
The original owner even made a sarcastic remark, saying that she was dishonest and still thinking about returning to the city.
Li Chuncao remained silent until most of those who had passed the university entrance exam had left. When people saw her working in the fields as usual, they assumed she hadn't passed and had resigned herself to her fate.
Unexpectedly, she contacted her family and secretly went to the educated youth office to transfer her personnel file directly.
During that period, Li Chuncao frequently asked for leave to go out.
She ignored the insults from the Ji family and the original owner of the body.
One day, she gave her daughter a bath and washed her hair, saying that something sent from her mother's home had arrived and she needed to go to the post office to pick it up. After that, she never came back.
Li Chuncao left, and the original owner of the body was stunned, holding the child.
They didn't get a marriage certificate back then; they parted ways freely.
The original owner is single again.
The Ji family cursed and scolded him, saying he couldn't control his wife and that he would die without a family line every day.
The villagers looked down on him, and the original owner became increasingly silent.
All they do is bury themselves in their work every day.
The Ji family decided to renovate their house because their house was too small and their two younger brothers' wives were making a fuss.
The original owner worked hard and broke his leg while repairing the house. It's unknown how serious it is, because the Ji family didn't take him to the hospital.
Because of his leg injury, the original owner suffered a lot of scorn during his time resting at home, and the porridge in his bowl became thinner and thinner, making it impossible for him to get full.
When they thought he couldn't work, Huang Zhaodi and the other siblings tried to kick him out.
Ji Shichui refused, otherwise what would others think of their family?
The original owner's leg hadn't healed before he had to start walking again, and he ended up becoming a cripple.
His daughter became his only comfort, but even so, he couldn't protect her, and she suffered all kinds of grievances at home.
All the other children in the family were in school, and even those who didn't want to study had learned to read and do math after two years. Only the original owner's daughter remained illiterate.
As she grew a little older, she had to help with chores at home, such as cutting pig feed, washing clothes, and doing farm work. The original owner's daughter became the second original owner.
Sometimes, when the original owner heard others say that the dog was diligent and sensible, he felt a little smug.
He thinks he's done a good job educating his daughter, and even without Li Chuncao, he still managed to raise her.
He didn't notice his daughter's ill-fitting clothes, the frostbite on her hands and ears, her messy, beggar-like hair, or her thin body.
Just like the original owner, Ji Gou'er was numb, didn't like to talk, and often stared blankly at the other children in the village.
As time went by, one day the original owner heard Huang Zhaodi's harsh curses and saw the disgusted looks in the eyes of the other family members, only then realizing that Gou'er was already a grown-up girl.
He dragged his legs and moved to the house next to the pigsty, leaving the dilapidated house for his daughter to live in.
Seeing her daughter writhing in pain, her face pale, she couldn't even get a bowl of brown sugar and eggs.
For the first time, other emotions appeared in the original owner's eyes, but it was only fleeting.
When she got back, she stammered and told her daughter: "Just bear with it a little longer, it won't hurt in a few days."
The original owner also saw the disappointment in his daughter's eyes; he had already gotten used to being treated like a human being.
So when Huang Zhaodi was arranging a marriage for Ji Gou'er, he looked at the divorced man, opened his mouth but said nothing.
After Ji Gou'er got married, she never came back. Even when the original owner took some vegetables and two eggs to visit her in the next village, the other party did not show up.
The original owner suffered hardships in his youth and aged faster than others.
When it gets sick, it's exceptionally severe.
When the two brothers from the Ji family could no longer work, they kicked him out.
The younger sister was disgusted by the original owner's every word, as she always felt that the original owner had a smell.
Huang Zhaodi looked stronger than the original owner of the body back then, and I kept telling him to stay far away from me.
Ji Shichui also had to rely on his two sons, and could only occasionally send some food to the original owner.
On his last night on earth, he wanted to eat a bowl of sweet rice wine with eggs.
He limped to his house, but no one opened the door for him. The wind outside was biting cold, and his thin body looked forlorn.
Inside, the air was filled with warmth and laughter, and the original owner was sitting at the doorway.
He missed Li Chuncao, his daughter, and his mother, whose face he could not remember clearly.
I wrapped myself tightly in my thin clothes and drifted off to sleep amidst the lively chatter in the room.
