Xihe was a little dazed. The Xia Luo in front of him had short hair, rough skin, and was wearing gray clothes. Her whole temperament had changed drastically, and she no longer had the high spirits she had when she was reborn.
When she was in the army, she heard news about her and Ji Changye, and knew that they were not in a good situation after returning to the village.
She got pregnant before marriage and followed Ji Changye without caring about her family's reputation. All her behaviors were simply despicable. If it weren't for the Ji and Xia families, the villagers would have kicked her out long ago.
But even so, I couldn't help but murmur behind his back.
Xia Luo couldn't stand it a bit, especially since her daughter was not valued at all by her in-laws.
So in just a few years, she gave birth to three children in a row, and she looked much older. Fortunately, she finally gave birth to a son.
But her life still didn't go well.
Old Mrs. Xia was annoyed with her and liked to find fault with her for no reason.
But her parents were timid and cowardly. When Old Lady Xia targeted her, they didn't dare to say a word and just let her be scolded.
Gradually, Xia Luo became a little crazy. Especially since Ji Changye, although he married her, could not help but feel some resentment in his heart. He did not take care of her as carefully as he did in the city. He just went to work every day and fell asleep when he got home.
Xia Luo was upset and always made a big fuss, but Ji Changye became even more silent because of this.
Xia Luo's heart gradually became twisted. She protected her son in every possible way and beat and scolded the two girls. She became so skinny that she looked extremely pitiful in the village.
Mother Ji was so angry that she kept cursing, "This is a disaster!"
After a few years, the mother had long forgiven her youngest son, but she had been living with her second daughter-in-law and her family in the army for the past few years and was unable to reach out to her family.
She couldn't take the two children away, so she could only pretend not to see it.
But in his heart he hated Xia Luo.
This time, Xihe and his friends returned to their hometown to visit Old Lady Xia. Ji's mother was taking care of Ji Heng in the army. Before leaving, she couldn't help but ask Ji Changqing to go back and see Ji Changye.
After all, he is my youngest son who I raised with love, and I still care about him.
Xihe and Xia Luo looked at each other, and the people around them also noticed their gaze, and the air suddenly became quiet.
Old Lady Xia exploded, pointing at her and cursing, "What are you looking at? Damn it! Didn't you see Xiao He is back? You can't even say hello. Are you dumb?"
Old Mrs. Xia was used to being arrogant and arguing with everyone. Moreover, she hated Xia Luo so much that she naturally spoke without mercy.
Xia Luo's face suddenly darkened. She turned around and left with the basket in her hand.
Old Lady Xia widened her eyes: "She, she, she..."
Xihe took her arm and soothed her gently, "Grandma, you're not fully recovered yet. Let's go home and sit down and rest."
The others reacted instantly after being reminded and asked Old Lady Xia to go home and have a good rest, and chat together when they were free.
The Xia family had been waiting at home for a long time. When they saw them coming back from afar, they hurried to greet them.
"Xiao He! Chang Qing! Hey, you guys are back? Come in, come in!"
"Mom, how are you? Are you okay?"
"I can't die."
“…”
Old Mrs. Xia shut everyone up with one sentence.
In the entire Xia family, she looked down on everyone except her precious granddaughter, and spoke to them in a sarcastic and mocking manner.
Xihe looked at everyone's embarrassed expressions and felt amused. She personally helped Old Lady Xia into the house. The small and low room was exactly the same as before, except for a few new things that she had sent back.
She was chatting with Old Mrs. Xia in the house, while in the yard Ji Changqing was communicating with the Xia family with a stern expression.
He was so powerful that the older men of the Xia family had to hold back and not flee. They spoke tremblingly, with cold sweat on their foreheads. They only breathed a sigh of relief when dinner started.
That night, the Xia family took great pains to prepare a table full of delicious food and wine to entertain them.
Everyone at the table was talking loudly, and Cun Zhu's face was flushed from drinking, and he looked very happy. Although Ji Changye, who was invited at the same time, was also smiling, the loneliness on his face could not be ignored.
It was only when he was expelled from the army that he fully realized his mistake.
But it was too late to regret, so he could only marry Xia Luo and return home with his wife and children.
He joined the army early and was greatly affected. Every time he thought about it, he felt uneasy and the pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe.
He worked hard every day to try to alleviate the guilt in his heart. He should be fighting on the battlefield and battling the enemy, but now... the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Ji Changqing saw it and said nothing, but after dinner he personally saw his brother out.
The night in the countryside was very dark. All the lights had been turned off in every household. The bright moonlight shone down, casting two long shadows on the ground.
"Brother...I'm sorry."
Ji Changye lowered his head.
The spine is bent by something invisible.
In just a few years, not only did Xia Luo age greatly, but Ji Changye was also overwhelmed by pain and looked older than Ji Changye himself.
Ji Changqing didn't say anything, just raised his hand and patted his shoulder, everything was said without words.
Ji Changye couldn't bear it any longer, he covered his face with his hands, squatted on the ground and cried loudly.
He really knew he was wrong.
He should have listened to his elder brother, shouldn't have provoked Xia Luo, and shouldn't have done stupid things.
Ji Changqing stood there, his eyes calm. So what if he was wrong? What had already happened could not be undone.
The next morning, before Xihe woke up, the Xia family's yard was full of people, laughing loudly. Everyone was praising Old Mrs. Xia and making her smile from ear to ear.
When they saw Xihe coming out, they started to flatter her warmly, praising her for being filial and so on.
Boss Xia and his family were also delighted to hear this.
This is their daughter.
