Su Yue twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking to herself: I didn't drink it, so how could something be wrong?
Someone said, "Then tell me, what's going on between you and Su Xiaomei?"
Another person said, "Yeah, since there's no problem, does that mean you and Su Xiaomei have been eyeing each other for a long time?"
Jiang Huaidong forced himself to say, "Yes, I know I don't know how to be grateful, but I still want to say that I don't like Su Yue. Because of her existence, I always feel like a murderer. Her father died because of me. Every time I close my eyes, I see my powerlessness. If it weren't for me, Su Yue's father wouldn't have died. Over the years, I have been running away from this reality, but as soon as I return to the village, the closed memories attack me again."
As she spoke, she buried her head in her hands and began to sob.
Su Yue: "..."
It seems there really is such a thing.
Everyone fell silent as they listened.
Jiang Huaidong was only eleven or twelve years old back then. He witnessed Su Yue's father being swept away by the flood and was still in a daze when his own marriage was arranged by his parents.
From a young age, people told me that my fiancée's father died saving me, so when I grow up, I have to marry her and take care of her.
It would be strange if he didn't have rebellious thoughts, but his eyesight wasn't very good.
Su Xiaomei was short and dark-skinned, far inferior to Su Yue.
Hearing Jiang Huaidong's words, Jiang's mother felt very uncomfortable.
Did she and Jiang Zemin really make a mistake back then?
When Jiang Huaidong heard that no one was making a sound, he cried even louder.
It's as if I want to release all the frustration that I've been suppressing in my heart over the years.
Jiang's mother was heartbroken. She looked up at Su Yue and said, "Su Yue, please consider that my son's engagement never happened. I beg you."
The others also urged Su Yue to let Jiang Huaidong and Su Xiaomei be together.
Upon hearing this, Liu Meili and Su Xiaomei realized that Jiang Huaidong had finally relented, and Jiang's mother and the others also urged Su Yue to give up.
The two exchanged a knowing smile, their smiles brimming with triumph.
Su Yue saw it out of the corner of her eye and thought, "Laugh now, or you won't be able to laugh later."
Tang Jianguo wasn't stupid. When Su Xiaomei said that Jiang Huaidong had made two bowls of brown sugar water, she and Su Yue both drank them.
He began to suspect that Jiang Huaidong was definitely a problem.
And the problem is quite significant.
During the most difficult years, no Red Guards ever visited Shuiwen Village.
How come Jiang Huaidong caused such a big incident as soon as he returned?
It's definitely not just about two bowls of brown sugar water.
At this point, he also disagreed with Su Yue marrying him.
It's one thing for him to disagree, but we need to ask Su Yue what she really thinks.
So he asked, "Su Yue, what do you think?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Su Yue.
Su Yue glanced at the four people and said, "I never said I wanted to marry Jiang Huaidong. It was only after you saw my father being swept away by the flood that you made that promise. Now look what's happened, my father has been rescued and now you've brought trouble upon yourselves."
"If I had known that my father would save Jiang Huaidong and then receive this stigma years later, I would have preferred that he hadn't saved him. If your Jiang family didn't want to marry him, you could have just told me. There's no need to do this. He was saved by my father, and now you're complaining about him."
As she spoke, she became agitated and shouted, "I lost my father at such a young age and have been living under someone else's roof. Who should I blame? Jiang Huaidong or my father? I shouldn't have meddled. Let those who shouldn't be alive die."
Thinking back to her previous life, her short life and Fu Shen were all thanks to Jiang Huaidong.
Why is he pretending to be pitiful now? If she could, she would want Jiang Huaidong dead right now.
After Su Yue finished speaking, the courtyard became so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
Liu Meili and Su Xiaomei's hearts, which had been at ease, were now on edge again.
Su Yue looked at Jiang Huaidong and said, "Why aren't you crying? You're the one who feels wronged. Who can I talk to about my grievances?"
Inside the room, Fu Shen felt a pang of heartache when he heard Su Yue's voice trembling with tears.
Tang Jianguo comforted her, "Su Yue, Uncle Tang will help you find someone better in the future. Let's not cry anymore and make people laugh at us."
Su Yue sniffed and nodded.
She didn't want to cry, but when she thought about her foolish self in her past life, she couldn't control herself.
Jiang Huaidong didn't like her, so why should he scheme against her?
That led to her tragic end; Fu Shen died unjustly.
Why is it that he, from Jianghuaidong, is rising through the ranks in the military and has a happy family?
