"Xia Chu, there's something I haven't told you because I'm afraid you'll be upset."
"Last year, Huaiyan sent me a letter saying that your divorce report had been completed. He was indeed very good to our family and kept his promise to marry you so that you wouldn't have to suffer in the countryside."
"But you know, he doesn't love you. At most, he treats you as a sister."
Jiang Xiachu felt a pain in her heart when she heard her mother's words.
She has liked Lu Huaiyan for ten years.
I finally got married to him as I wished, but I didn't expect that the forced marriage would end up being alone in an empty bed after the wedding night.
They didn’t see each other for three years during their military marriage, and even when she gave birth to a daughter, the man didn’t come back to see her.
The news finally came on the night when Jiang Xiachu carried her daughter to the emergency room for a fever in the middle of the night.
She anxiously stayed by the bedside, looking at her weak daughter, her heart broken.
Jiang Xiachu couldn't count how many times she had brought her child to the hospital for medical treatment alone.
Most of the patients in the pediatric department are fathers who bring their children, but her daughter was not accompanied by her father.
Belatedly, her mother told her that the divorce report had been filed and gave her a letter.
Jiang Xiachu took the letter from her mother's hand in a daze. It was indeed Lu Huaiyan's handwriting, she recognized it.
The words above made her fingertips feel cold.
He has always been just a responsibility to her.
Even though he already knew it, Jiang Xiachu still felt a sharp pain and bitterness in his heart.
"My girl, please put him down. He had a hard time at the front line and almost lost his life. He will probably have settled down in Chuncheng when he returns."
Spring City?
Jiang Xiachu smiled when he heard this keyword.
Last week, Lu Huaiyan's widowed sister-in-law Meng Wanyue hurriedly left the capital and moved to Chuncheng.
No wonder.
She must have contacted Lu Huaiyan a lot over the years.
On the day of Jiang Xiachu and Lu Huaiyan's engagement party, he was late.
Later, Jiang Xiachu learned that Meng Wanyue suddenly fainted and he accompanied her to the hospital.
"Mother……"
Jiang Xiachu was deeply hurt by the restless look of her daughter Suisui in her sleep.
She held Sui Sui's hand, her eyes reddened.
The child didn't even dare to mention his father in front of her, for fear of making his mother sad.
A flash of lightning flashed outside the window and heavy rain poured down.
Jiang Xiachu hugged Suisui and closed his eyes.
She should have given up long ago, from the moment Lu Huaiyan broke off the engagement.
She regretted it. If she could do it again, she would not force herself to marry Lu Huaiyan.
In a daze, Jiang Xiachu didn't even know when he fell asleep.
The humid air made it difficult for her to breathe.
Her body seemed to be falling all the time.
What's going on?
Jiang Xiachu suddenly opened his eyes and found himself in the water!
Several voices were heard from the shore.
"This country girl is so shameless. She is so ugly and yet she dares to marry Brother Lu!"
"It was my sister who forced her to marry me! If Lu Huaiyan wasn't forced, why would he marry her?"
"Normally, she wouldn't dare to talk back when we said a few words to her, but today, she got angry when we didn't allow her to attend the engagement party!"
Jiang Xiachu choked on water several times while struggling, and his neck was scratched by himself.
She calmed herself down and remembered that she was no longer the Jiang Xiachu who was afraid of water.
After having a daughter, Jiang Xiachu forced herself to overcome her fear of drowning.
It seemed as if a force from behind pushed her to the surface, just in time to see the distorted faces of her stepsister He Yiran and her friends.
"This country girl has grown up! How dare you bite me? Do you really think you are Lu Huaiyan's wife?"
Jiang Xiachu took a deep breath and realized that he was reborn.
Reborn to the day of engagement with Lu Huaiyan.
At that time, Jiang Xiachu went out early in the morning and was called aside by a few people in the alley who always liked to make trouble for her.
When Jiang Xiachu was three years old, he followed his mother Jiang Hongyan to Beijing after she remarried.
He Yiren is the daughter brought up by her stepfather. She has been at odds with Jiang Xiachu since childhood. She looks down on her background and thinks that she has taken advantage of the He family.
In the past, it was just a minor fight and verbal suppression of Jiang Xiachu.
But what she didn't expect was that when Jiang Xiachu was really going to marry Lu Huaiyan, He Yiran became furious and pushed her into the river.
Jiang Xiachu endured the discomfort, went back to change clothes and immediately rushed to Lu's house.
As a result, Lu Huaiyan, who was supposed to be there, was absent. The Lu family tried to smooth things over by saying that he was called away on a temporary mission.
Jiang Xiachu was alone throughout the whole process, and she even now clearly remembers how the people at the table looked at her.
When she returned home that night, she had a high fever. When she was feeling the most uncomfortable, He Yiran came to inform her that she had met Lu Huaiyan in the hospital.
"Hey, guess who I saw in the hospital? I saw Brother Lu accompanying Sister Wanyue!"
"It turns out that your marriage is not important at all in his heart. It is not as important as his respected sister-in-law."
Jiang Xiachu only then realized that Lu Huaiyan did not have a temporary mission.
There are just more important things.
Before his death, Brother Lu Huaiyan asked the Lu family to take care of his wife.
Lu Huaiyan never forgot what his elder brother said and took good care of this gentle and considerate sister-in-law.
Jiang Xiachu endured the bitterness in his heart, propped himself up and climbed out of the river, feeling a pain on his face.
She raised her hand and touched it, and saw a bloodstain.
Her face was scratched when she fell just now.
In her previous life, she wanted to be closer to Lu Huaiyan, so she applied for the art troupe without telling her family.
When He Yiran found out, he immediately told her mother.
Her mother, who had never been optimistic about her since she was a child, ridiculed her.
"The most important thing for a person is to know himself. Daughter, which one do you have among appearance, talent, and knowledge?"
