Chapter 8



Su Ruo thought about what her mother said. Regardless of whether what she said was true or not, she truly saw her malice and desire to control her.

She knew that if she couldn't get the support and help of the man next to her, she would become a piece of meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of that woman... Just like if she hadn't been vigilant enough, she would have been held firmly in the hands of Lin Wanhua and her daughter.

As for whether she owed him anything, she would talk about it after she figured it out.

She took a breath, looked at him and said seriously with courage: "Whether you believe it or not, what I said is true."

"Like you said, you wouldn't force me at all. You even told me to concentrate on my college entrance exams first. If I passed and met someone suitable, I could discuss a divorce with you... In this case, why would I lie to you and say that I didn't remember what happened in the past five years?"

"and,"

She gritted her teeth again, hardened her heart, and said, "Actually, whether you touch me or not is related to your... personality. What does it have to do with whether I remember the past? If I don't remember, does that mean I'm not your wife anymore? If you really do something now, I can't stop you at all."

She originally wanted to say "character", but was afraid of angering him and having the opposite effect, so she ended up changing it to "personality".

Han Zecheng looked at her desperate look.

I have to say, she really convinced him.

Originally, because this fact was so bizarre, he couldn't just believe her.

But she spoke to him with such a serious, clear, and desperate look in her eyes, and he was indeed convinced by her.

Because there was really no need for her to lie to herself.

When they got married, he said that if she wanted to separate one day, they would get divorced.

She was in a difficult situation at that time, and he just wanted to get rid of the marriages arranged for him by both his biological father and his mother, so he chose to marry her.

But marriage is not a joke, and he never really thought about getting divorced from the beginning.

At least not here.

He could see she was nervous.

It feels like my whole body is tense.

He suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

If she really forgot everything.

All the emotions I had felt before that, the worry after receiving her letter, the fear and panic I had suppressed in my heart, the tense drive all the way from the military area, all of this was like a taut string that suddenly broke.

She didn't even remember, so why was he still so tense?

He looked at her and asked, "Why tell me?"

The voice has softened.

Su Ruo also looked at him.

I thought to myself, if I don’t tell you, am I going to have to grope around blindly on my own?

Even if she doesn't remember, the fact is that she has married him and has a son, and she cannot get around this hurdle.

The most important thing is, if she doesn't tell him, what reason will she find to refuse to have sex with him?

Don’t like him, hate him?

She felt that it would only make her already bad situation worse.

It's already like this, we have to face reality.

From the information she had so far, he was a soldier, seemed to treat her well, and had a trustworthy and respectable character.

Then she could only take a gamble.

Anyway, it can't get any worse, right?

She looked at him and said, "Aren't you my husband now?"

Whether she is willing to believe it or not, whether she is willing to accept it or not, this is the fact.

Han Zecheng was stunned after hearing her words, and then his cold heart seemed to soften all of a sudden.

What he understood was that you are my husband and the person closest to me, so if there is anything, I will naturally tell you first.

At that moment, looking at her clear, watery eyes in the night, he almost wanted to bend down and kiss her again.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he asked, "So what do you think now?"

Su Ruo let out a long sigh.

The words were out, and he seemed to finally believe her, which made her feel relieved.

All the nerves that had been tense since waking up seemed to relax, and the panic, confusion, fear and terror also temporarily subsided.

"I want to find out what's going on first,"

She said, "Can you tell me about my current situation? Also, how I came to be an educated youth here, how we got married, who are the people in your family, and how do you get along with me on a daily basis? I know nothing about anything here now, and I don't know what to say or how to react."

She doesn't want to live with the blame of a vixen who sucks people's blood.

This is too heavy.

******

"good."

He looked at her for a while before he said, "Lie down and rest first. I'll tell you slowly."

Su Ruo turned to look at him.

He had already laid down.

He didn't want to sit there and look at her, for fear that he might not be able to control himself and do something.

Her current look really made him want to comfort her, but he also knew that whatever he did would only make her more panicked, so he lay down and stopped looking at her.

Su Ruo thought about it and lay down as well, but on the inside, with at least two people's distance between her and him.

In the darkness, Han Zecheng looked at the top of the tent and slowly said as if recalling the past, "This is Hanjia Village, Linzihu Town, Beiqiao County. But the place where you went to the countryside was not here, but a farm in the neighboring province."

"I also know a little about why you were sent to the countryside. You are your father's only daughter. Your biological mother's family is bourgeois. Although your biological mother has passed away a long time ago, your grandparents are still alive overseas. This matter was known to others. Your father used his connections to send you to college, but was reported. Your father had no choice but to send you to the countryside for reform."

"You went to the farm. At that time, I happened to be leading soldiers to the farm to help open up wasteland. I met you and proposed to you. You agreed, and we got married."

That's really concise.

Su Ruo turned around and looked at him from a distance, saying, "I have a bad background, aren't you afraid that I will affect your future?"

Even her father, who was said to love her the most, drew a line between himself and her and severed all ties with her.

This is not surprising, because she knows many couples and families who have divorced or severed relations because of this background issue.

Han Zecheng frowned.

Su Ruo was looking at him, and even in the dark, she could feel the seriousness on his face.

This man was very serious and stern, and because he was a soldier, Su Ruo felt an inexplicable trust and respect for him.

So even though he had done that to her before, she didn't feel angry or offended.

I was just panicking and scared.

Han Zecheng was thinking of something that happened long ago.

He said, “No, I don’t care about that.”

Something surged in Su Ruo's heart, and in a moment of impulse, she blurted out, "Then why did I marry you in the first place?"

Han Zecheng's expression became even more gloomy.

Why did she marry him?

Because she is so beautiful.

She was targeted as soon as she arrived at the farm, and she agreed to marry him because she had no other choice.

But let it go if those memories are forgotten.

He didn't want to tell her this.

He relaxed his frown, his expression gradually softened, and said, "You told me at that time that you no longer have everything you had before, and that you are willing to live a good life with me."

Su Ruo's expression changed.

is that so?

But this reason was much easier for her to accept than what his mother said, saying that she was just using him and sucking his blood.

She didn't want to believe that she would become that kind of person.

And after thinking about it carefully, she realized that this was indeed what she would say.

In fact, she had no expectations for love since she was a child.

She was taught from a young age that she should find a like-minded comrade in the future.

She once heard others say that her father loved her mother very much, but not long after her mother died, her father married Lin Wanhua and started another family.

These things made her feel a little repulsive when she heard the word love.

So when her father asked her if she was willing to get engaged to Yuan Chengyang, she agreed.

Because she probably spent more time in the Yuan family than in her own home since she was a child, and Uncle Yuan and Aunt Yuan treated her like their own daughter, even better than Yuan Chengyang, so there was nothing that she could not accept about marrying into the Yuan family.

So after she learned from the notebook that Yuan Chengyang was with Su Jia, she seemed to be more sad than that Su Jia had taken Yuan Chengyang away from her, but more sad that Su Jia had taken away another warm place that belonged to her.

So was it any wonder that she was willing to marry him?

Even after such a short time together, she felt a calming power from this person...which was what she had always lacked and wanted the most.

She was silent for a while, then asked, "Have I ever treated you badly?"

Han Zecheng was stunned, then looked at her carefully... Although he looked serious and cold, he could actually be very careful and perceptive when necessary.

He also thought of what his mother said when she just woke up. It is very likely that she heard some of it, or his mother said something to her later, otherwise she would not ask this.

He said slowly, "Nothing is wrong. You have always been very good. It's just that I have been in the army and rarely at home. Although we have been married for five years, we actually have very little time to spend together. You were alone at home, from pregnancy to childbirth, to now that the child has grown up, and I have not been able to take good care of you."

Su Ruo turned her head to look at him. Even though it was dark, she could still see the apology and heaviness in his eyes.

Her heart finally settled down a little.

That’s right, she is not at home all year round, so what blood does she suck from him?

She had a salary, and she gave his mother ten yuan every month. She kept all the money he gave her, marking it as for Guoguo...

She shook her head and said, "Well, can you tell me about the people in this family?"

Just listen to what he says.

He hummed and said, "Besides my uncle and my mother, there is also an older brother and a younger brother..."

"Uncle?"

"Well, my mother remarried, and he is not my father, so I have always called him uncle."

Han Zecheng spoke slowly, and Su Ruo finally sorted out the relationships in this family.

The population of the Han family is not particularly complicated.

In addition to Han Zecheng, my parents-in-law have an eldest son and a youngest son, both of whom are already married. My uncle and sister-in-law have two sons and one daughter, and my brother-in-law has only a son who is half a year older than Guoguo.

"Do I get along well with them?"

This is a really difficult question to answer.

He did not answer her directly, but said, "My uncle is not my biological father. He and my mother are both remarried. My eldest brother is my uncle's previous son and has no blood relationship with me. But my eldest brother and his wife are both honest people. They treat you well."

"It's just that my mother wanted me to marry someone else, but I insisted on marrying you, so my mother doesn't like you. As for my third brother, my uncle and my mother both value him more, so he is a little spoiled."

Although these few simple words did not directly say how she got along with them, Su Ruo understood them.

Su Ruo looked at him, and suddenly she vaguely understood why she had told him that she was willing to live a good life with him.

Because they were so obviously different, at this moment, as she listened to him speak, something in her heart seemed to calm down.

This person seems to have the power to calm people.

My situation was so bad at that time that I probably had no resistance when I met someone like this.

She was silent for a while, then asked, "What about signing up for the college entrance examination?"

She remembered this very clearly. The college entrance examination was cancelled in 1966.

This time he turned his head and looked at her again, and said, "More than a week ago, the country announced the resumption of the college entrance examination. The exam will be held in a month. There is a test site in our county."
