Old Mrs. Zhou understood Su Man's hint and said, "Well... wait until the baby is born, and then it won't be exposed."
"Well, look at what you said. There's no fixed rule when it comes to judging men and women. You're old, so it's normal for you to be wrong."
If it was just for the wine, Mrs. Zhou would not agree, but Su Man had just saved her life, so she couldn't refuse. For a moment, she was in a dilemma.
At this moment, Su Man glanced at the Bodhisattva statue on the wall, and thought of Mrs. Zhou thanking the heavens and the earth after being rescued. She had a plan in mind and said, "As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You almost died by eating a date. I don't know if it was because of the Tai Sui. But God is merciful, and you have survived a great disaster. If you don't save me now, I'm afraid..."
Mrs. Zhou was frightened. "Oh, you little girl, you have no way of keeping your mouth shut. What are you talking about? Life and death. God bless you."
She turned around and bowed several times to the portrait of the Bodhisattva, chanting with lingering fear, "Amitabha."
Seeing this, Su Man raised the corners of her lips.
After coming out of Old Lady Zhou's house, Su Man walked slowly on the road, thinking about something in her mind.
"Xiao Wen!"
With a shout, a man covered in mud and with long arms ran towards Suman.
Su Man looked for a long time before she realized that he was Li Caizhe. Seeing that his dirty little hands were about to touch her, she hurriedly called out, "Stop!"
Unexpectedly, although Li Caizhe was crazy, he was very obedient. When Su Man shouted to stop, he really stopped obediently.
"Xiao Wen, I'm here to take you away. You didn't ask for the key, I brought it to you!"
Su Man was a little surprised, "Really? Let me see?"
Li Caizhe took it out of his pocket like a treasure. Su Man took it and looked at it. She was so angry that she laughed. She thought he took out the motorcycle keys, but it turned out to be two small keys that he had found somewhere. It was obvious that they were not for motorcycles.
At this point, Su Man also understood that it was too much of a stretch to entrust such a task to a fool like him, so Su Man returned the key to him and said, "No need. I live well here. You can go back."
"No, Xiaowen, I know you don't want to stay in the village. I will take you away. I will take you away now."
Just as the two were pulling each other, Li Caizhe was suddenly grabbed by the collar and knocked to the ground.
"You crazy bastard, how dare you touch Xiaoman? I'll beat you to death!"
It turned out that Li Zhuang saw that Su Man was late in returning, so he came out to look for her, but unexpectedly he ran into Li Caizhe harassing Su Man.
Li Zhuang's attitude towards Su Man is different now. Seeing her being pulled by another man, he was furious and pulled Li Caizhe to hit her.
Su Man hurriedly stopped him, "Brother, stop hitting him, he also recognized the wrong person."
She wanted to tell Li Caizhe to leave quickly, but the sight of her and Li Zhuang standing together somehow stimulated Li Caizhe. He suddenly rushed towards Li Zhuang like crazy, "Let her go! Don't touch her!"
His actions also angered Li Zhuang, who kicked Li Caizhe to the ground, "This is my wife, not that short-lived woman of yours."
Li Zhuang's words were out of control, which made Su Man realize something was wrong. At that time, Zhao Chunhua only said that Li Caizhe went crazy because he was abandoned, and never said that Xiaowen was dead.
...
On the way back, Su Man tentatively mentioned Xiao Wen, "The short-lived woman you just mentioned, is that Xiao Wen?"
"Uh, why are you asking this? It's all old news." Li Zhuang obviously didn't want to mention it and wanted to move on vaguely.
Su Man didn't ask, she just let go of her arm and kept a fist's distance from him.
The atmosphere between the two of them changed instantly, and in an instant it was as if an invisible barrier appeared between him and Su Man.
Li Zhuang saw that Su Man was angry and immediately became nervous. When Su Man was angry, she wouldn't throw a tantrum like those women, nor would she ignore him, but it made him feel uncomfortable all over. It was like punching cotton, and he couldn't exert any strength.
"Why are you angry again?"
"How dare I get angry? You don't even consider me family. You won't tell me anything. If I get angry with you, you'll kick me out."
As she spoke, Su Man's eyes turned red, looking so pitiful.
Li Zhuang rolls on the ground every day and has never seen such a soft knife. His bones are all soft, so what is there to be dissatisfied about?
"That's not what I meant. I was, well... come on, come on, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you. It's not a big deal."
Li Zhuang didn't dare to hide it anymore and told everything.
Although Li Caizhe grew up in Tieshan Village, he longed for life in a big city. Unfortunately, his family was not rich and he had a younger brother. They could not afford to support him after he finished high school. But Li Caizhe was still unwilling to stay at home. It happened that his family had relatives working on a construction site in the city, so he packed his bag and went to live with his relatives.
Li Caizhe has been smart and hardworking since he was a child. While working at the construction site, he taught himself and attended an adult college, but changed jobs soon after.
Not only that, he also met a lovely girl, Xiaowen, when he was in college.
Like him, Xiaowen also came from the mountains. She was dissatisfied with her parents using her as a gift to help her younger brother get married, so she ran away and made her own way.
The same experience brought the two closer together. After they dated for a while, Li Caizhe took her home and wanted to let his parents see her.
Unexpectedly, Li Caizhe's younger brother had evil thoughts about his beautiful sister-in-law and actually defiled her while Li Caizhe was not at home.
When Li Caizhe found out, he was furious and almost beat his brother to death. But his mother actually knelt down and begged him, saying that his brother couldn't find a wife at home, and since Xiaowen had already had physical contact with his brother, why not let her be his brother's wife.
Li Caizhe thought it was ridiculous and refused to agree no matter what. However, his mother threatened to commit suicide, so he agreed.
On one side are his parents who raised him, and on the other side is his girlfriend. Li Caizhe is very upset.
At this time, Li Caizhe's mother proposed a compromise. She asked Li Caizhe to give her a month. If she could persuade Xiaowen, she would let Xiaowen marry his brother. If not, she would not mention this matter anymore and let him marry Xiaowen.
Li Caizhe didn't agree at first, but with his family members joining in, he could only comfort himself that it was just a one-month stay, and after he got through this period, he would definitely marry Xiaowen.
But Li Caizhe's parents also put forward a condition, that is, he cannot meet Xiaowen in this month.
...
Hearing this, Su Man frowned, as if foreshadowing their ending, "And then?"
"I also heard what happened next. About half a month later, Xiaowen committed suicide, and then Li Caizhe also went crazy."
Half a month...
If she really couldn't get over it, she wouldn't have waited for half a month. Something must have happened during this period that forced Xiaowen to commit suicide.
