"Brother, who are you to Taohua? Taohua is getting married today. Come, have a wedding cigarette."
Zhou Chuanzong smiled and handed Lin Yongnian a cigarette.
Lin Yongnian didn't answer, but stared at Taohua intently.
Taohua felt that she had let Lin Yongnian down and felt guilty.
She knew that Brother Yongnian must blame her for not waiting for him to come back, but she had no choice.
Her daughter wanted her to remarry her son-in-law's uncle, but she thought about it again and refused with gritted teeth. Her daughter's mother-in-law persuaded her again and again, but she didn't give in.
A week ago, her daughter finally let her go home.
To thank her, her mother-in-law killed a chicken and cooked a sumptuous meal for her before she left.
During the dinner, her son-in-law, mother-in-law and father-in-law offered her a few glasses of wine. She didn't know how to drink, but she couldn't resist their urging. After a few glasses of wine, she was drunk and fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she found Zhou Chuanzong sleeping naked on a bed.
Although Zhou Chuanzong was a rootless man, he did everything he should do to her except that step.
What else did she not understand? She was being plotted against and was filled with shame and anger.
Zhou Chuanzong promised her in bed that he would treat her well for the rest of his life, give her all the money he earned, and treat Gao Li as his own daughter.
She also said that if she married him, she would be closer to Goryeo in the future, and asked them to treat Goryeo Won-ryong as their own son and daughter, and support them more so that they would not have to worry about no one to take care of them in their old age.
If she lives in her parents' home, no one will take care of her when she gets old.
After Zhou Chuanzong finished speaking, his mother-in-law pushed open the door and said that she and Zhou Chuanzong had slept naked in the same bed, kissed and touched each other, so they were his wife.
If they didn't marry Zhou Chuanzong, they couldn't guarantee that there would be no gossip about her taking care of her daughter during her confinement at her daughter's in-laws' home, hooking up with her son-in-law and uncle, and sleeping with them.
If this matter gets out, she will be known as a slut far and wide. Not only will Brother Yongnian not want her, but she will also be too ashamed to live as a human being.
The mother-in-law first threatened and then tried to persuade her with kind words.
Gao Li also cried and persuaded her, saying that she had no idea about her in-laws' plan. After eating, she left the table and coaxed the child to sleep.
She also said that her father passed away early, and now she wants to be closer to her biological mother and be with her more often, and she also said that she can't bear to leave her.
As a mother, she naturally couldn't bear to part with her daughter, but she was also afraid that the Zhou family would really tell this to others, and then she would really have no way to live, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.
Seeing that she agreed, the Zhou family let her go back to deal with the things at home.
When she got home, she found out that Brother Yongnian had come back to see her specially for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but she was not there. Not only did he leave her a silk scarf, he also told Lin Yongsheng that he wanted to marry her.
But it's too late...
She and Brother Yongnian were destined to be apart, and she had failed to live up to Brother Yongnian's friendship.
Zhou Chuanzong's eyes looked back and forth at Lin Yongnian's peach blossoms, frowned, then raised his face and smiled as he handed over a cigarette, "Brother, Brother, Brother, cigarette."
Zhou Chuanzong shouted several times until Lin Yongnian looked at him, then he handed the cigarette forward again.
Lin Yongnian reached out to take the cigarette, and Zhou Chuanzong lit it for him with a match.
"Brother, who are you to Taohua? You just came back from outside? Let's go to Taohua's house and drink some wedding wine together."
Lin Yongnian smoked a cigarette to calm down, and did not answer Zhou Chuanzong's question immediately. His heart was filled with the bitterness of being betrayed.
Peach Blossom is another man's wedding wine, but you can't drink it.
Taohua didn't want to make the scene too awkward and let people know she had something to do with Lin Yongnian, so she started to say, "This is our neighbor, Brother Lin Yongnian. We've known each other for decades. Brother Yongnian is very busy working in the city. He must have come home today to do something important. I'm afraid he won't have time to attend our wedding."
Lin Yongnian looked at Taohua with a bitter heart. Is it just the neighbor brother?
We are still childhood sweethearts! We are still each other's first love!
Obviously, the last time they met, she was still so nice to him, as if she still had feelings for him. It's only been less than a month, why did she change?
Lin Yongnian couldn't understand how a person could pass away so quickly.
"Taohua, I didn't hear anyone say you were getting married the last time you came back? How come you are getting married so soon?" Lin Yongnian wanted an answer.
Zhou Chuanzong also noticed that Lin Yongnian had a special affection for Taohua, but he pretended not to know and said with a smile, "It's fate, isn't it, Taohua?"
Zhou Chuanzong asked while looking at Taohua with a smile. The latter didn't dare to look into Lin Yongnian's eyes and nodded with her head lowered.
"Brother Lin, you can be considered as a brother who grew up with Taohua. Seeing that Taohua has found a good home, you should bless them, right?"
"..." Lin Yongnian choked, gnashing his teeth and saying coldly, "Blessings, of course I wish you all the best. I wish you a long and happy life together, and may you have many children and grandchildren!"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Zhou Chuanzong's face froze for a moment, and the people who came to pick up the bride also looked at Zhou Chuanzong with a strange expression.
How can a person without roots have many descendants?
"Brother Lin, you have something urgent to go home for, so we won't waste your time. We also have to hurry back to the wedding ceremony, so we'll leave first."
After saying that, Zhou Chuanzong pulled Taohua back to the bicycle.
In these short few steps, Taohua never looked back.
The wedding procession continued to set off. Taohua kept turning her head to look at Lin Yongnian on the tractor, but Lin Yongnian turned his back and no longer looked at her.
Looking at his indifferent back, Taohua couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and said goodbye to him in her heart.
Goodbye, Brother Yongnian. It was the peach blossoms that let you down. You should find a better woman to take care of you.
Taohua closed her eyes and turned her head away, a tear sliding down from the corner of her eye, as if mourning the fateful relationship between her and Lin Yongnian.
Lin Yongnian walked into the village listlessly, carrying his things.
"Uncle!" Lin Xiaofu shouted in surprise when he saw Lin Yongnian suddenly appear.
Lin Yongnian looked up and saw that it was his nephew. He called out weakly, "Fu."
Lin Xiaofu frowned and asked, "Uncle Xiao, why did you come back so late? Aunt Taohua just got married today."
Isn't this missed?
Lin Yongnian sighed and said, "I saw it on the way back."
Seeing Uncle Wu like this, Lin Xiaofu knew that Wang must have come back to see Aunt Taohua getting married and was sad. Seeing that Wang was holding a net bag with a lot of food in it, he reached out to take some.
"Uncle, you and Aunt Taohua are just not meant to be together. Don't be sad. Go home first. I'll help you carry your things."
Lin Yongnian handed all the things to Lin Xiaofu.
As soon as Lin Xiaofu entered the house, he shouted, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Uncle Xiaofu is back."
