Chapter 2269: A Lifetime of Two People (Part 1)
Lu Xiaoxiao was shocked when she heard Xu Ankang's words. She didn't expect it to be like this, but the fact that Xu Ankang could control his temper for his other half proved that he really loved his other half.
"Grandpa Xu, can you tell me about Grandma Xu?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Xu Ankang.
“Of course, I haven’t mentioned her to anyone since she died, but since you are preparing a dowry for yourself just like her, I will tell you about her.
Your grandmother Xu's original name was Huang Daya. She was the eldest in the family. Because she was a girl, her family members didn't like her and just treated her like a workhorse.
But she is a very smart person. She discovered at a very young age that her family didn't like her, so she restrained her true character and minimized her presence at home in order to protect herself.
Unfortunately, what was to come finally came. When she was fourteen years old, her family wanted to marry her to an old bachelor in the village in order to find a partner for the only boy in the family.
After she learned about this, she found me, who was from the same village, and asked me if I was willing to marry her.
To be honest, I was shocked when I heard her say such bold words, but I quickly reacted and asked her why she chose to marry me.
She just said one word at that time - poor. That's right, she chose to marry me because I was the poorest person in the village.
At first I actually didn’t believe what she said, but how could I not want a wife who was waiting for me? So she and I worshipped heaven and earth without telling our family.
By the time her family found out, it was too late, so they forced me to give the bride price.
But as the poorest person in the village, how could I afford the bride price? Only then did I realize that she really married me because I was poor.
But now that I’ve brought her home, there’s nothing else I can do but move on with my life.
But after just a few days, I discovered her true character. However, she didn't seem afraid of me finding out her true character at all. She continued to be the same as before. In less than a month, she became the most aggressive person in the village.
But it was precisely because of her aggressive personality that no one in the village dared to bully our family.
It was also because of her bold personality that she was able to quickly keep the house and outside in order.
Not only that, she also found a way to send me to learn the craft from the best carpenter in the county.
Later, after I learned the craft and returned to the village, my life with her became better and better.
However, the good times did not last long. She had been childless for three years after her marriage. Later, she went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said that she had been injured when she fell into the water as a child and would never be able to have children.
After she heard the news, she was sad for only one day, and then she decisively asked me to divorce her.
At first, I was really moved when I heard her words. I was the only child in my family. If I didn't have any children in this life, my family's bloodline would be cut off.
But I quickly gave up on this idea, because I knew that I was where I am today because of her.
When she found out that I didn't want to divorce her, she quarreled with me every day. Later, she realized that quarreling with me was useless, so she stopped and tried to find a way to adopt a child for me from the clan.
But since the child was not my own, I didn't want to have one, so I stopped her and told her that I didn't like children and that I was willing to live our own life together.
