Xie Xiulian told Lin Wanjun her story with Wang Jianmin.
Wang Jianmin's grandmother's family and Xie Xiulian's maternal family are from the same village. The two have known each other since they were young, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are childhood sweethearts.
However, Xie Xiulian had been engaged since she was a child, and the two had always kept their distance, especially after they became adults, and they had no contact anymore.
It all started when Xie Xiulian became a widow.
My father-in-law is seriously ill, my uncle and aunt are young, and my mother-in-law is like a charlatan, pretending to be sick in bed every day. Several people in the family rely on Xie Xiu Lian for care.
This is not the worst.
As the saying goes, a widow's door is full of trouble. Because Xie Xiulian was young and beautiful, she was often harassed by men, and some even knocked on her window in the middle of the night.
Once when Xie Xiulian was going to the market in town, she was stopped by two men. They were drunk and used obscene language to tease her.
Coincidentally, Wang Jianmin took his fiancée to the town to buy cloth that day and happened to see Xie Xiu Lian being harassed.
Seeing his childhood sweetheart, who was once as beautiful as a flower with rosy cheeks, so miserable and haggard, his heart almost broke.
He picked up a brick and smashed it on the two men's heads, splitting their heads open on the spot and sending blood spurting everywhere.
When the fiancée saw that the man she was going to marry was so fierce and cruel, she turned around and ran away crying, leaving only Xie Xiu Lian and Wang Jianmin who had been reunited after a long separation.
When Wang Jianmin heard that Xie Xiulian had lost her husband and was a widow, he knew that her situation was not good.
But at this moment, when he actually saw Xie Xiu Lian being bullied, he couldn't help but feel extremely angry, and was even willing to die for her!
Xie Xiulian forced a smile and gently called out "Brother Jianmin".
At that moment, Wang Jianmin made up his mind.
He returned home that day and went to the matchmaker to ask for a breakup.
He didn't want the 30 yuan betrothal gift, nor did he want the clothes he bought for the woman.
When the matchmaker asked him why, he said frankly that he had someone in his heart and marrying someone else would only harm that person.
At first, Xie Xiulian was resistant.
She didn't want to drag Wang Jianmin down, and didn't want Wang Jianmin to be stuck in this quagmire with her and unable to escape.
But Wang Jianmin refused to listen and led the cow to plow the fields for her family and drove the ox cart to harvest wheat for her family. When others asked him about it, Wang Jianmin said that he was hired by Xie Xiulianhua.
"So, you and Wang Jianmin have been together for a long time?"
Lin Wanjun asked.
She did not look down on Xie Xiu Lian. She knew how hard life was for a woman in this village. If there were no man to help her, Xie Xiu Lian would probably have hanged herself in despair.
"No! We are not in the relationship you imagine! Brother Jianmin has never forced me, and he has never even made any demands."
Xie Xiulian kept crying until she could hardly breathe.
"He did so much for me, but I couldn't repay him. Many times, I wanted to... repay him with my own body, but he always refused."
"We agreed that once my uncle and aunt were married, we would get married openly. He didn't want me to be cursed by others."
In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Jianmin is extremely idle, but in the eyes of Xie Xiulian, Brother Jianmin is the most trustworthy man in the world.
"Until my mother-in-law came back from the city and suggested I remarry. She found me a partner, her second husband's youngest son. He had just lost his wife two months ago and had a child under a year old."
Xie Xiulian couldn't help crying when she mentioned her tragic fate.
Lin Wanjun was also very angry.
This mother-in-law has a very good plan.
First, she remarried and lived a comfortable life in the city, while Xie Xiulian worked like a slave to raise her four children.
Later, he planned to use Xie Xiu Lian to consolidate his position in the city to prevent himself from being kicked out after his wife died.
"I disagreed, and she beat me to death. Late at night, on a snowy day, I crawled all the way to Brother Jianmin's house and begged him to take me away..."
Xie Xiulian rolled up her clothes and pointed at the mottled scars on her body.
"She beat all of this!"
Even though the wounds have long since scabbed over, the scars that remain permanently on the skin still silently tell of this woman's tragic fate.
"I shamelessly seduced him. I don't want to be a proper wife anymore. I don't want to be their slave anymore. I was their precious child. Why should I be treated so badly by them?"
Xie Xiulian looked up at Lin Wanjun.
"Doctor Lin, to be honest, Du Dazhuang and I have never been a real couple. He's very ill and can't do that!"
"Don't worry if you laugh at me, but after I followed Jianmin, I finally understood what a married life should be like!"
Lin Wanjun sighed deeply, stood up, helped Xie Xiulian up, and let her sit on the edge of the kang.
"Then why didn't you leave? Why did you become Meng Shuan Gou's murder tool?"
Xie Xiulian covered her face and cried again.
"Blame me! It's all my fault! My youngest sister-in-law is already engaged, and I was afraid that if I eloped, it would ruin her marriage, so I wanted to wait until she got married before running away."
Unexpectedly, she became pregnant, and after delaying for a long time, she could no longer leave.
Therefore, Wang Jianmin planned to use his own life to find a way out for Xie Xiulian and her unborn child, but in the end he trusted Meng Shuanggou, and not only was he imprisoned, but Xie Xiulian was also forced into a desperate situation.
If Lin Wanjun hadn't happened to bump into her and save her, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Dr. Lin, please save Jianmin! I'm willing to do anything to save him, even to die!"
Xie Xiulian knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowed to Lin Wanjun repeatedly, and cried until she almost died.
Lin Wanjun remained silent and turned to look at Shi Kai who was sitting on the kang.
Shi Kai was originally dozing off with his head down. When Lin Wanjun looked over, he seemed to feel her gaze, looked up at her, and grinned foolishly.
"Xiaolin, I like you so much."
After Shi Kai woke up, he kept saying this.
Fortunately, he was a patient and no one took his words seriously.
Although the perpetrator of the bombing had been brought to justice, Dong Yingying's slander led to many unbearable rumors in the cadre school.
In addition, Song Zhanjin suddenly changed his heart and fell in love with Dong Yingying, and people believed that there was an affair between Lin Wanjun and Shi Kai, which made Song Zhanjin dislike her.
In order to save face, Lin Wanjun must clarify the truth and clear the name of herself and Shi Kai.
Even if she is a supporting actress, even if she lives in a melodramatic novel with distorted values, she is unwilling to be anyone's pawn or prop.
No one, including the original author, should try to throw dirty water on her!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Wanjun looked at Xie Xiulian who was kneeling on the ground.
"Tell me, for Wang Jianmin, can you give everything?"
Xie Xiulian nodded firmly.
"If he could die for me, I would also be willing to die for him. I am content to have met him in this life!"
Lin Wanjun nodded.
"Okay, then you'll follow my instructions."
Turning her head to look out the window, she saw that the blizzard was getting worse and worse. If she remembered correctly, the cadre school was already facing a serious crisis of food shortage.
As the principal of the school, Wei Yifu would brave the snow to go to the county town to ask for food, and finally died tragically on the way.
Dong Yingying carries the memories of her previous life. Will she save Wei Yifu?
And can Wei Yifu escape this disaster?
Lin Wanjun stood up suddenly.
"Let's go to the cadre school and watch the fun!"
