Xu Yan brought back a baby boy, his own child.
That woman was a college student, and coincidentally, she was the daughter of her best friend. Her best friend had set them up.
Xu Yan begged her to accept the child, saying that the Xu family was a wealthy and powerful family and could not have no descendants.
Ruan Tang laughed when she heard this. She didn't expect that after thirty years of marriage, she didn't even know that the man next to her was a man who looked down on women.
She met Xu Yan when she was 16 while working in the countryside. He fell in love with her at first sight and pursued her passionately, and they finally got married at 18. At 15, she took the college entrance examination, and just as she received her acceptance letter, she discovered she was pregnant.
At that time, Xu Yan also knelt down and begged her to give birth to the baby, saying that no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, the baby would be his.
She believed it, tore up the acceptance letter, and rested in peace. The next day, she gave birth to her daughter, Jiaojiao, safely. Xu Yan held her hand, his eyes red as he repeatedly cried out his apology.
As Xu Yan promised, he doted on his daughter for fifteen years...
Ruan Tang closed her eyes. Her daughter was getting married tomorrow, so she had to endure it.
She asked Xu Yan to hold the baby boy and discuss it again after the wedding.
Xu Yan refused, but she pushed him so hard that he gritted his teeth and said Jiaojiao was not his child! He couldn't let a bastard marry a live-in son-in-law and take over the Xu family's huge fortune.
Ruan Tang didn't believe it. Jiaojiao was clearly taken out of the delivery room by Xu Yan himself, so how could he have taken the wrong one?
She cursed Xu Yan for being crazy, saying that he would come up with any stupid trick to make room for his illegitimate son.
Xu Yan laughed crazily, saying that he had gone crazy fifteen years ago. In order to keep her, he got his brother drunk and sent him to his woman's bed!
Ruan Tang didn't want to believe it, but her mind flashed back to that summer when Ji Nanfeng returned home to visit his relatives and Xu Yan invited people over for drinks. She was coaxed into drinking quite a bit by Xu Yan, but she only remembered that night as being particularly difficult...
"I'm Xu Jiaojiao, how could I not be Xu Jiaojiao..."
Ruan Tang didn't know how long her daughter had been listening outside the door. When she chased out, she heard a "clang".
She saw with her own eyes that her daughter was hit by a car and flew out, lying in a pool of blood.
Ruan Tang held Jiaojiao's head and begged passersby on her knees: "Car! Car! Someone help me drive my Jiaojiao to the hospital!"
She never knew that a person could have so much blood, and her vision was also dyed blood red.
Vaguely he saw a man running towards them.
He picked up Jiaojiao and got into the car.
"Are you my own father?"
He nodded again and again, choking with sobs and coaxing Jiaojiao to hold on.
"Great, what's my name then?"
"Ji Jiao, your name is Ji Jiao."
Jiaojiao smiled brightly and spat out a pool of blood, staining the car seat red.
"That's great. I have my own father. I'm not a bastard..."
"Ji Jiao, this name is really nice. I will be called Ji Jiao from now on..."
Ruan Tang watched her Jiaojiao being pushed into the emergency room, and then watched the doctor shake his head as he came out.
As Jiaojiao wished, she was called Ji Jiao from then on, and this name was left on the tombstone.
On the seventh day, Ruan Tang came. Ji Nanfeng came. Xu Yan came too. The entire Xu family came.
Xu Yan knelt on the ground and confessed. He said that he was infertile and was afraid that Ruan Tang would leave him, so he came up with the idea of borrowing sperm.
Ruan Tang felt dizzy. She hadn't realized that this scam had been going on for thirty years...
Xu Yan's plea for mercy drifted back to more than thirty years ago. Ruan Tang recalled how she had wanted to do many things when she first went to the countryside. She wanted to be a tractor driver and return to the city as soon as possible. Later, she couldn't stand the rumors and married Xu Yan, who had pursued her for three months.
Ruan Tang closed her eyes. The buzzing in her ears became farther and farther away, and then began to be mixed with the sounds of laughter.
Who was laughing and playing on Jiaojiao’s seventh day?
Ruan Tang opened her eyes suddenly, and saw red everywhere.
Her gaze slowly focused. Ruan Tang saw two large red candles burning on the table, and bright red wedding characters pasted on the walls and windows. She was wearing an army green cotton jacket and trousers, with a large red ribbon on her chest.
Is this the Xu family from thirty years ago?
Ruan Tang stood up suddenly, looked around, and made sure that she had returned to her and Xu Yan's wedding room thirty days ago.
Where is her spiritual spring?
Ruan Tang moved her mind and entered the space. The spring was gurgling and water was bubbling out. A pool of water had already accumulated in the small pond.
Ruan Tang exhaled a breath of turbid air. She had accidentally obtained the spiritual spring, and fed Xu Yan three times, which unexpectedly restored his fertility...
It had to be Jiaojiao! Her obsession was so strong that it had brought her back thirty years. Her heart was pounding wildly. She wanted to disturb the Xu family's peace, for Jiaojiao, and for her!
As soon as I stepped into the door, it was pushed open.
Xu Yan, reeking of alcohol, put his arm around Ruan Tang's shoulders and pulled her into his arms. "Tangtang, are you getting impatient? Let's go to the bridal chamber right now."
"You, don't do this..." Ruan Tang pushed and slapped Xu Yan with his backhand.
Bang!
The crisp sound of the slap stunned those who were preparing to make a noise in the bridal chamber.
Xu Yan was mostly sober, and his mother's kind, round face was now a bit ferocious. "This is outrageous! A new wife hits a man! Third brother, hold your wife down and hit her back. No, hit her back tenfold, or you'll be cursed for the rest of your life!"
Xu Yangang had just married Ruan Tang, which was a rare occasion for them, but he was slapped in front of so many people. How could he live his life in the future?
Xu Yan winked at Ruan Tang, "Tangtang, please bear with it for now. I will make it up to you later."
Ruan Tang didn't struggle or flee, her voice rising slightly: "Beat him, preferably to death! I'm slapping you out of kindness to remind you that words can cause trouble. The bridal chamber is a feudal dregs, be careful if someone overhears it. I don't want to be widowed just after getting married."
Mother Xu gritted her teeth when she heard this. "Stop bluffing! There's no outsider here! Third brother, what are you still standing there for? Beat her!"
Ruan Tang looked at Father Xu and said, "Captain Xu, do you want to... fight?"
Father Xu looked at Ruan Tang deeply, then slapped Mother Xu in the face. "If you keep talking nonsense, you're asking for a beating! Xiaotang was right to slap her. Feudal dregs are unacceptable! Third brother, you're still working at the supply and marketing cooperative, and you don't even have this much awareness."
Xu Yan broke out in a cold sweat, and the rest of those who were preparing to make trouble in the bridal chamber also dispersed in panic.
Fearing that someone would report him, Xu's father humbly led Xu Yan to send everyone to the gate of the courtyard one by one.
"Tangtang, let's go back to the room." Xu Yan reached out to pull Ruan Tang ingratiatingly, but Ruan Tang dodged. Ruan Tang knew that if Xu Yan forced her to sleep with him, she wouldn't have the strength to resist. She wanted to leave the Xu family and then seek a divorce.
"Let's go see Mom first."
After being beaten, Xu's mother ran back to her room crying and never showed up again.
Seeing Xu Yan, Xu's mother burst into tears again, crying and talking about how long she had prepared for his marriage and how much she had sacrificed. "I didn't expect that I would be beaten for your wife. How can I face people in the future?"
Ruan Tang suggested, "Why don't I just live outside for a few days and say that Brother Yan kicked me out to vent his anger on you."
Ever since Xu's father became the team leader, Xu's mother has been flattered in the village. If word gets out tomorrow that she was beaten, where will she put her face? Those gossipy old women will laugh at her for being manipulated by her daughter-in-law from the city.
After Xu's mother made up her mind, she put on a charitable expression again. "I know Xiaotang is a good person, so I'll ask Xiaotang to stay at Old Ji's house next door for one night."
Ruan Tang packed a few clothes, and Xu Yan personally sent her to the door of Ji's house.
