Chapter 2 I want money, you give me money!
Three years!
After only three short years of happy married life, Gu Nan was diagnosed with cancer.
Gastric cancer, advanced stage.
There is no possibility of recovery at all in this day and age.
Because of this, he did not tell Su Niannian the news immediately.
Instead, he tried his best to make money, intending to give Su Niannian a stable and prosperous life after his death.
When Su Niannian found out that Gu Nan was sick.
It was too late, he wouldn't live much longer.
On the hospital bed, Gu Nan held Su Niannian's hand, whispered for a long time, and said a lot.
Su Niannian knew that Gu Nan had always loved her deeply. She had missed a lot and let him down a lot.
She really wanted more time to love the man in front of her and make him feel happy, joyful and at ease.
Unfortunately, it's too late, everything is too late.
Su Niannian wanted to die with Gu Nan after he passed away.
After all, I can't promise him that we will be together forever and grow old together.
It would be nice to go to hell together.
At least on the road to the underworld and on the other side of the Wangchuan River, I have a companion.
How could Gu Nan not see what Su Niannian was thinking.
He wiped the tears from the corners of Su Niannian's eyes with his large hands covered with fine calluses.
When he touched the delicate and soft skin, Gu Nan's heart began to beat again.
He was also reluctant to leave Su Niannian like this.
It had only been five years since they met again.
She had only been married to him for three years; it was too short, really too short.
He loved her so much and wanted to stay by her side to protect and take care of her.
But, nothing can be done.
"Don't think about dying with me. I want you to promise me that you will find someone who can take care of you, find someone who loves you, and live well."
Su Niannian's eyes were filled with tears. She let out a long breath and wanted to refuse.
Meeting Gu Nan's almost pleading gaze, his eyes were filled with reluctance and heartache.
"This is the last thing I ask of you in my life. You must promise me." The voice was gentle, like a touch of water that could not be dissolved.
There was no room for rejection. She had never seen Gu Nan so vulnerable.
It was as if he would fall apart immediately if I didn't agree to him.
Su Niannian tightened her grip and nodded heavily.
Gu Nan's eyes were full of reluctance, but he still closed his eyes contentedly.
A crystal tear fell from the corner of Gu Nan's eye. God knows how reluctant he was.
That day, for Su Niannian, the originally warm world was shrouded in darkness again.
…
Su Niannian was very grateful to live a second life.
This time, she won't let Gu Nan wait that long.
Moreover, she came back with a lot of medical skills, and she believed that she would never let Gu Nan get stomach cancer again.
I can definitely take good care of him!
must!
Putting away all the thoughts in her mind, Su Niannian looked up at her stepmother Tao Chunhua who was chattering non-stop!
"What are you going to choose? Go to the countryside for Junlang or get married?" Tao Chunhua became annoyed when she saw Su Niannian keeping her head down and keeping silent.
He stood up impatiently and planned to teach Su Niannian a lesson.
Just when Tao Chunhua walked in front of Su Niannian, Su Niannian suddenly stood up.
Being mistreated for a long time made Su Niannian look very thin and she was usually timid.
But when Tao Chunhua met Su Niannian's eyes, she actually saw a hint of danger in them.
Tao Chunhua felt like her heart skipped a beat.
"Even if I get married, your son will still have to go to the countryside to work and suffer. Can you bear it? He can't even wash a bowl on weekdays. He works in the fields under the sun all day. Do you think he can survive?"
"You said you wanted me to choose, but actually getting married was just an excuse for you to force me to go to the countryside."
"It's not impossible for me to go to the countryside in place of your son. I want money! Give me money!"
After Su Niannian finished speaking, she stretched out her hand directly towards Tao Chunhua's position.
When Tao Chunhua heard Su Niannian's words, she was stunned at first, then she quickly walked to Su Niannian's father.
"Heping... Look at the good daughter you raised. You asked her to go to the countryside to replace her brother, but she actually asked me for money."
"At home, I never deprived her of anything to eat or drink."
"They say it's not easy to be a stepmother. I...I really have raised her for more than ten years in vain!"
As she spoke, Tao Chunhua's voice began to tremble.
She looked like she was about to cry out of grievance.
How could Su Heping not know what Tao Chunhua was up to?
Su Heping was not completely unaware of what she had done to Su Niannian.
It’s just that Tao Chunhua gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, so Su Heping turned a blind eye to Tao Chunhua’s harsh treatment of Su Niannian.
Su Heping knocked the pipe in his hand against a tin can, and the burnt tobacco fell into the can and slowly went out. Su Heping could only sigh helplessly.
"Junlang has never experienced hardship. Wenxue and Wenli are still young, so you have no choice but to go."
"No matter what, you were raised well, and your family didn't treat you too badly. It's time for you to do something for the family."
Su Heping had no choice but to say this.
What else can we do? If I don't follow Tao Chunhua's will, I'm afraid there will be no peace at home.
"You are really a good father to me!" Su Niannian's voice sounded very cold, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her words.
"..." Su Heping heard this as sarcasm.
"Su Niannian, that's enough! I raised you up, don't you know how to repay me?"
"Look at other girls, they all go out early to exchange for betrothal gifts. I can still take good care of you at home, why don't you know how to be grateful?"
Tao Chunhua had a look of deep sorrow on her face.
To be honest, his acting skills and lines are much better than those of the popular young actors in later generations.
"Thank you!" Su Niannian gritted her teeth and continued sarcastically.
Immediately afterwards, Su Niannian squatted down and pulled her trousers up to her knees.
Then he pulled the sleeves of his clothes upwards.
"Thank you for beating me with a cane whenever I disagree with you and go against your will."
Su Heping knew that Su Niannian was beaten before, but he didn't know it would be so severe.
The skin may be black and blue or may form scabs.
There are countless scars, big and small. New wounds are placed on top of old ones. It is no exaggeration to say that not an inch of the body is intact.
A hint of astonishment flashed across Su Heping's eyes, and he turned to look at Tao Chunhua.
Tao Chunhua did not expect that Su Niannian was so bold today that she dared to expose these injuries in front of Su Heping.
If I had known this earlier, I would have only spanked my back and butt!
"Thank you for raising me well! And you said you didn't marry me off for a dowry. Was it because of my job at the garment factory?"
"I get a 20 yuan salary bonus every month for full attendance! If you marry me to an ordinary family, the betrothal gift will only be a few hundred or a hundred yuan."
"Oh! By the way, you can sell me to a cripple, or a divorced man. That would fetch me two hundred, right?"
"Compared to the betrothal gift, you would rather keep me at home and pay me a salary!"
Su Niannian spoke slowly and calmly, and while she was talking, she had already put her clothes and pants in order.
Tao Chunhua was shocked.
What happened to Su Niannian today? How did it become so...right! Sharp-tongued!
