Chapter 30 Chapter 30

Jia Yourui stood at the head of the bed, looking at her father's sleeping face.

Now she could still see her father, and the joy of regaining what she had lost made Jia Yourui's eyes red and her throat choked with sobs.

Jia Kaiqian was a tough guy. His face became dark and resolute due to years of wind and sun exposure. Even with his eyes closed, one could see his vigorous spirit that was about to overflow.

...

When she was 36 years old, her father died of cancer.

Before her father died, their relationship was so close that he would not let go of her hand even on the sickbed. At that time, her father was so thin that he was literally skin and bones, and his strength was pitifully weak.

The father who once held her on his shoulders and took her around the village now had difficulty opening his eyes.

She waited by the bedside without taking off her clothes, and never left even when he slept. The memories of her childhood made her cry in her dreams. She

remembered that it was a sunny day, and she and her brother, sister, and mother saw her father off for the last time.

...

Jia Yourui walked out of the house and waited for her Jia Guoye to catch up.

The two walked home.

Because she thought of the past and because of her father's indifference to her today, Jia Yourui was a little depressed.

Along the way, she lowered her head and said nothing.

When they got home, Jia Guoye took out the key to open the courtyard gate and the door of the house. Jia Yourui lowered her head and walked towards the room foolishly.

"Yourui."

Jia Guoye called her.

"Huh?"

Jia Yourui turned around.

Her round eyes drooped slightly pitifully.

Jia Guoye looked at her and said, "Your father has always cared about you."

Jia Yourui nodded, "I know."

She didn't just say this to Jia Guoye. After experiencing her past life, Jia Yourui knew that her father was just concerned about his reputation, so she softened her heart.

But even though she knew the truth, she couldn't help but feel sad when facing her father's indifference.

Jia Guoye thought she was just agreeing casually, and when he opened his mouth to say something, Jia Yourui had already entered the house.

He stood there without moving for a while, as if hesitating about something.

...

After a long time, Jia Guoye turned around and prepared to go back to his room.

After a short rest, he would go to the fields to continue harvesting straw.

Jia Guoye glanced at the straw drying in the yard and prepared to cut the remaining straw tonight. The dried straw was more convenient for threshing, and the rice could be threshed after two days of drying.

...

Jia Yulin, Jia Yumin's home.

"Yulin, why don't you stay at home and rest."

Zhang Xiuhua advised: "Haven't you just recovered? Don't work today, take care of your spirit, I'm afraid your body can't bear it."

Jia Yulin shook her head, smiled, and said sympathetically: "It's okay, mother."

She looked at Jia Yumin: "You and Yumin did so much, your body can't bear it, Yumin, is that what your sister said?"

Jia Yumin felt the same way, her body really couldn't bear it.

But considering her mother's look, Jia Yumin didn't dare to nod her head vigorously to agree, and only stammered, "Well, it's okay... a little bit..."

Jia Yulin looked at her sister and smiled kindly, "Sister knows you are tired, so she came home to help us with the double grab. I will go back after we are done."

"Really?" Jia Yumin was overjoyed and rushed to hug Jia Yulin tightly, thinking that she was indeed her kind and generous sister.

"Thank you, sister!"

It would be much easier to have a sister come home to help.

"But sister."

Jia Yumin looked at Jia Yulin and asked anxiously, "Brother-in-law, do my mother-in-law have any objections?"

Although she was very happy that her sister could come home to help at this time, Jia Yumin also knew that her sister was a married woman after all. Wouldn't her husband's family be unhappy if she stayed at her parents' home for so long during the busy farming season?

Jia Yulin's eyes dodged for a moment, but she recovered very quickly. No one noticed her guilt.

She smiled and said, "What opinions can they have? I've never worked in the fields in their family. It's just that the family will have one less person to help with cooking. It won't have much impact."

"Oh, so that's the case."

Jia Yumin nodded and sighed enviously, "It's good to have a capable brother-in-law. Sister, you married well! I want to learn from you!"

"Haha, yes."

Jia Yulin smiled dryly, agreeing with her emotional sister, and said nothing more.

Zhang Xiuhua was still a little worried. First, she was worried about her daughter working in the fields after recovering from an illness. Second, she thought Yulin's trip home was really strange:

Zhang Xiuhua slept with Yulin last night. Yulin suddenly woke her up in the middle of the night and whispered in her ear furtively:

"Mom, I really want to go home and stay for a while, but I'm embarrassed to tell my parents-in-law."

"I'll tell you something. Tomorrow, tell Shengwen and my parents-in-law that you miss me too much and that there is not enough labor at home. You want to take me home to stay for a few days."

Zhang Xiuhua was half asleep and thought she was dreaming.

It was not until Yulin anxiously told her these things over and over again in her ear, and even repeatedly told her how to word them, that Zhang Xiuhua slowly woke up.

At first, Zhang Xiuhua was definitely unwilling to agree.

Yulin lived a good life in Li's family. She didn't have to worry about farm work, and her mother-in-law would help her with housework. Zhang Xiuhua didn't have the face to take her eldest daughter who lived such a leisurely life in her husband's family back home and let her work under the hot sun.

If she had something good, it would be normal for her to want to share it with Yulin, but how could she ask her married daughter to work in her parents' home?

Besides, Yulin was already married. She was not only Zhang Xiuhua's daughter, but also the daughter-in-law of Li's family.

Zhang Xiuhua was not a person who didn't know the general situation. If she asked her daughter to go home to work at this time, Yulin's parents-in-law would definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts even if they didn't say anything.

Zhang Xiuhua thought this proposal was inexplicable and said that it was not okay to do so. She explained the reason to Yulin.

Zhang Xiuhua thought that according to Yulin's temper, she would not say anything, but to her surprise, Yulin, who had always been sensible and well-behaved, actually begged her, saying that she really missed home and really wanted to go home to live. She couldn't speak up herself, so she asked her mother to speak for her.

In the end, Yulin saw that she was reluctant to give in, and finally she seemed to be about to cry, and her voice was mournful. Zhang Xiuhua softened her heart and agreed.

When Yulin saw that she agreed, her tears turned into laughter in an instant, and she kept saying thank you mother.

The next morning, Zhang Xiuhua told her son-in-law and her parents-in-law what Yulin had told her. They naturally did not make things difficult for her. Li Shengwen even personally sent them to the village entrance, which made her feel really ashamed.

Zhang Xiuhua thought this was really strange. Apart from other things, why did Yulin, who had been married for more than three years, suddenly miss home?

When she had just married, she had never acted so reluctant to leave home.

Outside, Jia Qiheng saw that the mother and daughter were taking a long time to come out of the house. He was really impatient waiting and shouted, "Xiuhua, hurry up."

"Okay, Dad."

Jia Yulin responded loudly, "We'll be out right away."

...

Jia Yulin walked on the path in the field.

From afar, she could not wait to turn her head in that direction and look far away.

?

No one?

Jia Yulin could not believe her eyes. She scanned the area again and again, even under the big tree for cool breeze, on the path between the field and the ditch... She did not miss any corner.

Jia Guoye really had not come yet.

It was no wonder that Jia Yulin was so surprised. In her impression, Jia Guoye was always the one who worked the hardest, coming earlier than others and leaving later than others. It was rare for him to be in a situation like today, when everyone was already busy, but his field was empty.

Thinking that she was about to meet Jia Guoye, her heart was beating wildly all the way here.

But now there is not even a shadow of him. Jia Yulin can't help feeling a little empty and a little disappointed.

It's okay, Jia Yulin comforted herself.

Wait a minute, Jia Guoye will come eventually.

She grabbed the sickle and started to work, but her mind had already flown far away, and she even heard her mother's instructions intermittently.

...

About a month ago, Jia Yulin began to have a series of strange dreams.

The content of the dream alone is strange, and what's even more bizarre is that these dreams are different from other dreams. After waking up every morning, she can clearly remember the content of the dream the night before.

The memory in the dream is too real, and she can't forget it.

It seemed that it was not a dream, but something that really happened, firmly engraved in her mind.

At the beginning, Jia Yulin dreamed of herself as a girl at home.

She was still a child, her grandparents favored boys over girls and liked her cousin more, her mother was pregnant with her second child, and her father and mother looked forward to the birth of the baby in her belly every day.

She was obviously dissatisfied, but she forced herself to hide her dark emotions all the time. She tried hard to please everyone, only in this way would everyone praise her for being sensible. She

has been very concerned about her face since she was a child. Even if she didn't want to work more than her sister, she never refused.

Because she wanted to be the likable Jia Yulin, and couldn't learn from the willful and naughty Jia Yumin.

Later, as she got older in her dreams, she began to dream about Jia Guoye.

Their families had been neighbors since childhood, and the farmland they contracted was also connected. She had learned to read people's faces since she was a child, so she smiled at everyone and was attentive to everyone, including Jia Guoye, a neighbor's younger brother who was one year younger than her. Her

father and grandparents all wanted a grandson. She grew up in an atmosphere that favored boys over girls. She felt that Jia Guoye was very pitiful, but she also found some comfort:

she woke up from a dream, and it turned out that even if she was a boy, she might not be liked by her family.

Jia Guoye was very gloomy and rarely spoke.

Yes, born in such a family environment, he was either working or being scolded all day, so how could he not be gloomy?

Jia Yulin really didn't understand why Jia Guoye did so much but was not treated half as well as his lazy brother? Not to mention his parents, even his younger sister could boss him around.

However, although she felt sorry for Jia Guoye, she never showed it because she didn't want to offend Uncle Jia Pailin, Aunt Chen Xiushui, Brother Jia Guoda and Sister Jia Guolin.

She knew she couldn't afford to offend four people for the sake of one person. The clever and tactful girl knew she couldn't take this big loss.

There was a shortage of labor in the family, so she went to work in the fields when she was very young. Although she often felt that she was about to faint from exhaustion, it was nothing compared to the work Jia Guoye had to do in a day.

The two were of similar age, and she was warmhearted, so they could always talk to each other; sometimes when she was busy and out of breath, Jia Guoye would help her.

When she was a girl, she had also been moved by Jia Guoye.

The younger brother, who was one year younger than her, was tall, handsome, taciturn, and his broad shoulders seemed to be able to bear all the burdens. How could one not be moved?

But her shrewd mind was good at calculating, and she quickly killed this spring love.

She really didn't want to live a hard life anymore, she wanted to find a man with good family conditions to protect her.

Later, in the dream, she was old enough and started to discuss marriage.

She has a delicate appearance and is considered one of the most beautiful girls in the village. After many years of "performance", she has a good reputation and is a popular girl to be married among matchmakers.

She picked and chose Li Shengwen.

Li Shengwen is the most valuable son in the family. His family situation is pretty good and he has little burden on his shoulders.

He has three older sisters, and they are all married, and all of them are well married. From time to time, he will help his only brother in his mother's family. His father is almost sixty years old and can do all kinds of things in the farmland. His mother is smart and capable, and she is very good at housework. She can also help with some things in the fields, such as threshing rice and grinding beans.

The most important thing is that although Li Shengwen himself is the youngest child of a wealthy family and was brought up spoiled, he did not grow up crooked at all.

Li Shengwen was well-known for his ability. He was diligent and strong. No young man in their village could do better than him. The matchmaker also said that Li Shengwen was only slightly inferior to Jia Guoye in their village.

She and Li Shengwen got engaged smoothly. Both sides paid the betrothal gifts and dowry and prepared a banquet.

Everyone knew that she married into a good family. She walked around the village with a smug look, enjoying everyone's envious eyes.

However, no one knew that she was only afraid of seeing Jia Guoye.

Even though Jia Guoye did not have the same feelings for her as she did for him, he still frankly sent his blessings before she got married.

Those hidden thoughts born from the budding of youth made her heart sour when she saw Jia Guoye.

Jia Yulin thought that she did nothing wrong, she just didn't want to suffer anymore.

She really suffered too much, too much. No girl did more farm work than her. In order to show a likable image, she didn't even dare to complain like her sister, saying that she felt tired and asked if she could rest. She couldn't cry and stay at home like her sister and refuse to work. Her mother felt sorry for her and let her play at home all day...

What if Jia Guoye was capable? He was so disliked by his parents that he might have to leave the family when the family was divided in the future. He would even have to repair the house from scratch. She didn't want to suffer with him.

After that, her dreams were like a revolving lantern, going through her experiences over the years.

...

However, her dreams in the past few days became more and more strange.

The scene in the dream did not happen in the past or now, but seemed to happen in the future. Society has developed to the point where every household has the "three big pieces", and the girls and boys on the street all wear strange clothes.

In the dream, Jia Guoye became a big boss. After various efforts, she finally divorced. Jia Guoye, who was once ignored, became a hot commodity.

After some efforts, she successfully married Jia Guoye...

The dream stopped here.

...

Jia Yulin was immersed in it for a long time, because the first half of this dream about her life experience was so real.

There was even one time, on the first night, she really predicted in her dream that the next day, after Li Shengwen was angry with others in the field, she was punched and kicked by Li Shengwen.

Jia Yulin had to start to doubt whether Jia Guoye would really become rich in the future.

If he was destined to get rich, she must seize the opportunity.

...

Because of the catalysis of this dream, Jia Yulin went home this time, one to see Jia Guoye, and the other to divorce Li Shengwen.

Outsiders only knew that Li Shengwen was capable and strong, but how could they know how heavy his strong body was and how strong his big fists were?

On the fifth day after she got married, she was beaten and couldn't get out of bed.

Originally, Li Shengwen could still be a little patient, and he mainly scolded her, and after scolding her, he would hug her to sleep, and he didn't hit her very often.

But later, Li Shengwen saw through her face and didn't tell her about the beating, so he became more and more reckless, beating her almost every two days.

She could still bear it at first, but after knowing what would happen in the future, Jia Yulin secretly told her mother to find a reason to take her home without Li Shengwen's knowledge.

Jia Yulin knew that if she didn't leave, Li Shengwen would beat her to the point of miscarriage.
