"Cheng Huazi and his wife want Shuanzhu to replace Jianwa and go to the army."
In this age when there are no ID cards, it is very easy to replace someone else.
After leaving Chengjia Village, no one would recognize Cheng Shuanzhu. As long as Cheng Shuanzhu lived under the name Cheng Jingmo, he could completely replace Cheng Jingmo.
Uncle San's grandmother was sewing a shoe sole. She wiped her hair with a needle and continued, "Don't be fooled by Jianwa's appearance. He keeps quiet and acts like anyone can bully him. But he's a very determined person and he's determined not to agree. I heard that Cheng Huazi and his wife were so angry that they beat him up and locked him up in the house, refusing to let him out."
"Then one night, Jianwa sneaked out and found your third uncle, asking him to help him. Your third uncle gave Jianwa the only three dollars in the family and asked him to go to the village to register for conscription."
"Cheng Huazi and the others discovered that Jianwa had run away, so they followed him to the village. I heard that they only let Jianwa go after he promised to send his salary back every month."
Yu Xiangnian clenched his fists in anger.
If she had known Cheng Jingmo's life experience earlier, she would have beaten Xiang Nian to death rather than come to visit his parents!
Looking at Yu Xiangnian, whose face had turned red with anger, Third Uncle's grandmother sighed, "The grace of raising a child is greater than heaven! Who says it isn't? If it weren't for Cheng Huazi, the child he found would have died in the mountains long ago. Besides, how can an adopted child compare to one's own?"
Yu Xiangnian suppressed his anger and asked again, "Third Uncle, I heard that his parents want him to marry Cheng Shuanchun. Is that true?!"
Third Uncle's grandmother looked at Yu Xiangnian's incredulous expression and smiled reassuringly, "You're a city kid, you don't understand our customs."
"Jianwa and Shuanchun are not really siblings. They can get married here. Besides, instead of going out to find a man for Shuanchun, Jianwa was raised by the Cheng family since he was a child. He is a ready-made son-in-law. Moreover, at that time, Jianwa had established himself in the army. The Cheng family wanted him to marry Shuanchun and let Shuanchun follow him to the army to enjoy a good life."
Yu Xiangnian said disdainfully in his heart: This family is really amazing. They have supported Cheng Jingmo for a long time. Not only do they want him to send money every month, they also want him to be a child supporter!
Third Uncle's grandmother paused and continued, "Cheng Huazi and the others urged Jianwa to return home and marry Shuanchun for two years, but Jianwa refused. Later, Jianwa only sent money home every month, and no letters or telegrams came. Shuanchun waited for two years, but she couldn't bear it anymore and married to Xicun."
Preventing Cheng Shuanzhu from taking over and not marrying Cheng Shuanqin were things that Cheng Jingmo could do.
Just like what my uncle said, Cheng Jingmo looks honest and quiet, but he is actually very opinionated.
Cheng Jingmo's tolerance and magnanimity made him disdainful of nitpicking.
But if his bottom line is touched, he will never compromise.
Only Zhao Ruozhu could see through his true nature. Beneath his tolerant and silent appearance, he had a deep and sinister heart.
"Old woman, what are you talking about that's so exciting?" Third Uncle shouted from a table not far away, "The kids are going back."
Yu Xiangnian glanced outside the house and saw that it was already dark.
Cheng Jingmo stood up and said goodbye to his third uncle and aunt. Yu Xiangnian also stood up and said goodbye to them.
As the three of them walked on the way home, Yu Xiangnian's mind was filled with the words of his uncle's grandmother.
Pity, anger, unwillingness...all kinds of emotions intertwined and finally condensed into one feeling. She just wanted to be good to Cheng Jingmo and let him feel the beauty of the world!
The two of them were so close that they would accidentally touch each other when they shook hands.
At night, Cheng Jingmo was very clingy and out of control. He kept pestering her and she couldn't push him away.
But outside, he always maintained a certain balance, being close enough to Xiang Nian to touch her, yet deliberately keeping a small distance away.
Yu Xiangnian stretched out his hand and took Cheng Jingmo's hand.
Cheng Jingmo was stunned for a moment, then he spread his fingers and let Yu Xiangnian's fingers slip through his fingers. The two of them clasped their fingers together.
He reached out his other hand and held Xiaojie's.
Xiao Jie had just heard some of Cheng Jingmo's childhood stories, and he felt very complicated.
The three of them didn't say anything, and walked home with a sweet and bitter feeling in their hearts.
After washing up, everyone went back to their rooms.
As soon as the door was closed, Yu Xiangnian pushed Cheng Jingmo onto the bed and kissed him like a wolf.
Cheng Jingmo was surprised and happy, and responded without hesitation.
His kiss was gentle and passionate, with a hint of alcohol, which made people intoxicated.
Yu Xiangnian has always liked to press Cheng Jingmo under her, kiss him wantonly, and take the initiative.
After the kiss, Cheng Jingmo found that Yu Xiangnian was full of mist and looked like she was about to cry.
Cheng Jingmo was a little flustered. He put his thumb over the corner of her eye and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Yu Xiangnian's eyes and lips flushed red. "I know about your childhood."
When Cheng Jingmo decided to bring Yu Xiangnian back, he was already prepared to let her know his past.
But when Yu Xiangnian really found out, he was still a little at a loss.
That deep feeling of inferiority and that ridiculous self-esteem swept over him again.
A person who lives like an animal, yet longs for the pearl that everyone admires.
Longing but powerless, I fall into self-contradiction again and again, trying to convince myself and reconcile with myself again and again.
After a while, he curled his lips with difficulty, forced a smile, and sighed as he spoke, "It's all over."
No matter what he was like in the past, he is now working hard to get what he wants, and he will work even harder in the future.
Yu Xiangnian said, "But it makes me sad to hear that."
Cheng Jingmo raised his face and pecked Yu Xiangnian's lips, "Niannian, I don't want you to sympathize with me or pity me."
"I want you to love me!" His tone was extremely serious, "Be willing to spend your whole life with me!"
Yu Xiangnian bit his lower lip as a punishment, and didn't let go until Cheng Jingmo hissed in pain.
"I don't love you!" Yu Xiangnian said, "Why didn't you tell me before? I wouldn't have come here!"
"You didn't ask." Cheng Jingmo said weakly, "I'm only here this once. I need to come back to settle some things."
Yu Xiangnian said, "Then you should solve it quickly. I don't want to stay here anymore."
Cheng Jingmo nodded. "Just think of it as a trip here. Don't worry about anything. Just do as you would at home."
If, before just now, Yu Xiangnian felt a little embarrassed that he did nothing at Cheng Jingmo's house.
Now, she no longer has any psychological burden, and it is natural for her not to work.
Yu Xiangnian asked again: "Why don't you want to marry Cheng Shuanchun? Do you think she is ugly?"
Cheng Jingmo replied: "In my eyes, except you, all other women are the same."
He would always remember the throbbing in his heart the second time he saw Yu Xiangnian. It was as if everything around him had disappeared, and he only had eyes for her.
Hearing this, Yu Xiangnian was delighted, but pretended to be dissatisfied. "Don't try to get away with sweet talk. Answer truthfully!"
