The village party secretary was very surprised and immediately started to help me arrange it.
They replied to me the same day, saying that they were very satisfied with me and were willing to give me a gift of 100 yuan and a sewing machine. They also told me that I could ask for any requests I had.
What else could I ask for? I just hope that a decent family would take me in.
After having a meal together, their family was very satisfied with me. Brother Zhang was also very satisfied with me. He coughed and said to me that we must live a good life in the future.
What I didn’t expect was that they never set a date for their wedding.
I thought they might be concerned about the rumors that I was infertile and thought that this marriage might be called off.
Who would have thought that my future mother-in-law would come to my house in person, and her face was not very pleasant. I was quite familiar with her. When I went to her house for dinner when I was a child, she often praised me for being a good girl.
Seeing that she looked very worried, I asked her what happened and if there was anything I could do to help.
"What can happen to me? It's all about the Pei family. I've heard about it. They are so dishonest. They just made Pei Qingshan break up with you, and now they're here to inform us of the time for Pei Qingshan to hold his wedding banquet with the person he wants to meet. This is too much of a bully for you."
It turns out it was because of this matter. Looks like my marriage will be ruined.
Although I was still feeling anxious, I smiled generously, "It's okay, Mom, I don't care anymore. Since he is willing to marry someone else, it means we are not meant to be together. I will live a good life with Brother Zhang in the future."
"How could I not know you? How many people in the village have watched you grow up? How could your temper be wrong? Don't worry, as long as you marry into my family, I will treat you as my daughter. As for you and my son, his body is just that good. If you want to have a baby, you can have it. If you don't want to have a baby, it doesn't matter. Just live a good life."
After chatting for a while, she finally explained her purpose, "I want us to not go to the banquet on Pei Qingshan's wedding day. You can also get the marriage certificate with my son on that day, so that I can feel more at ease."
Facing her concerned gaze, I said only one word: OK.
What would it matter if I went? We had been together for two or three years. It was impossible for me to stop liking him immediately after breaking up. Going would only add to my sadness.
Now it’s good to have a reason not to go there.
As for what Pei Qingshan said later, that he had been waiting for me but never saw me, I just thought it was ridiculous. Why was he waiting for me? Was he trying to make fun of me?
He made the transition seamlessly. If I hadn't found someone in time, would I have to accept his look of pity and guilt?
During these years in the army, I didn't learn anything else but one thing: women can be the same as men, or even stronger than men.
My competitive spirit wouldn't allow me to go to his wedding party alone.
But since my future mother-in-law loves me, I will just obey her. I will naturally give back to those who are good to me.
As for Pei Qingshan's mother, I don't hate her. She has been nice to me. I can only say that ignorance is the biggest obstacle between us.
After we got married, Pei Qingshan seemed to have withdrawn from my world, and my life began to be dominated by the daily necessities of life.
My husband is in poor health, so I always think about adding more clothes for him when it's cold and preventing him from getting heatstroke when it's hot. Occasionally, when he has a poor appetite, I will rack my brains to make some appetizers and persuade him to eat more.
His temper is just like his body, not any more severe. Even in matters between husband and wife, I usually take the initiative after considering his health.
Sometimes he wanted to be strong, but unfortunately he lacked the strength.
I went to the health center for a check-up and also went to the commune to see some Chinese medicine practitioners whose accuracy I don't know if they were accurate. They all said that there was nothing wrong with my body and that whether I could get pregnant depended on luck.
When I was in the army, I heard people say that having a child is not only related to the woman's body, but also has a lot to do with the man's body.
But my man is in poor health, so I decided not to trouble him any more. I went to ask about some postures that are easy to conceive.
He is the only child in their family. No matter what the reason, since I married him and his family treats me well, I always want to do something for their family. I also think that having children is what a wife should do.
But I tried hard for several years, carefully helping him to adjust his body every day, and studying the postures and times that are easy to conceive, but it was all in vain.
His health was getting worse and worse. When he passed away, I felt like a piece of my body was hollowed out and it was excruciatingly painful.
After my husband passed away, my mother-in-law was so sad that she cried day and night. Soon, she cried her eyes blind.
Everyone in the tribe told me to persuade her more, so how could I not? I tried to persuade her and cheer her up every day, but it was of no use.
One day she even said to me, "Xiao Ping, please stop trying to persuade me. He is my only son in this life. I know you have tried so hard to have a child, but you didn't get one. I also know I can't blame you. As long as I have a child, whether it's a boy or a girl, I will have the motivation to live. Now, there is no point in me living anymore."
After she said this, I watched her at home all the time except when I was at work, for fear that she would do something bad.
But what was supposed to happen still happened. Yesterday, I got up early in the morning and made breakfast. When I went to call her to get up and eat, I found that there was no one in her room.
The quilt was not opened and there was no temperature on the bed, as if no one had slept there all night.
