In three days, Ah Li drove the carriage, bringing the men and children inside, to a village.
The man had also changed his clothes, and even the child seemed to have gained weight in just two days, no longer as thin as before.
The man also said his name was Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu was very happy to see that Ali still remembered their village, and said, "You really haven't forgotten me."
Ah Li resisted the urge to roll her eyes. The original owner couldn't remember, but Ah Li could still find the general direction from Zhao Hu's few words over the past few days.
As soon as Ali's carriage stopped, a burly woman rushed up and, upon seeing the two of them, called out, "Zhao Hu, Gouwa."
"mother."
As soon as the child saw the woman, he jumped off the carriage and rushed into her arms.
The woman hugged the child and said, "Where have you and your father been these past few days? Why didn't you say a word?"
Zhao Hu looked at the woman and Gouwa with a grim expression. He said angrily, "Zhao Lian, I have found this woman. I have absolutely no relation to you. Don't let Gouwa call you 'mother' anymore!"
Zhao Lian looked at Zhao Hu with some sadness, her honest face showing both restraint and anger.
The anger was directed at Ahri.
She couldn't understand why this person would come to their village again, since she had left three years ago.
Only then did Ah Li get a clear look at Zhao Lian's appearance, and also at Gouwa's.
The two people looked very similar, and she said, "What exactly happened?"
Zhao Hu looked at Ali and said sadly, "You don't believe me either, do you?"
Ah Li ignored Zhao Hu and just looked at Zhao Lian.
Zhao Lian took Gouwa's hand, calmed herself down, and said, "Let's go to my house, and I'll explain everything that happened back then."
"good."
Now the villagers are all watching them curiously; this isn't the place to talk.
When Ali went back with Zhao Lian, Gouwa saw his grandparents from afar, let go of Zhao Lian's hand, and ran towards the two old people.
Zhao Lian stopped and said, "Gouwa is my child."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Zhao Hu shouted angrily.
Zhao Lian looked at Zhao Hu and said, "How long are you going to keep thinking nonsense? I've told you so many times, the woman left long ago when you went into the room that day. I was the one on the other side."
Zhao Hu suddenly covered his ears and shouted, "You're talking nonsense, I don't believe you!"
Zhao Lian then looked at Ali and began to recount that past event.
Zhao Lian was an abandoned baby. After being picked up by Zhao Hu's parents, they raised her with them. They thought that since Zhao Hu was their only son, they couldn't bear to let him get married, so they thought it would be good to raise a girl so that she could stay at home when the time came.
However, Zhao Hu disliked Zhao Lian and always treated her like a servant.
Zhao Lian was very tolerant of Zhao Hu because she truly regarded him as her future husband.
Later, after the family saved the original owner of the body, Zhao Hu developed feelings for this pampered young woman.
I know that once the woman has recovered from her injuries, she will leave.
Zhao Hu began to want to have a relationship with her, but because Zhao Lian was always by his side, he didn't have the opportunity.
Zhao Lian vaguely guessed Zhao Hu's thoughts, so she deliberately didn't tell Zhao Hu when the young woman was going to leave.
On the night the woman left, Zhao Lian deliberately slept in that room because she had discovered that Zhao Hu had gone to the village doctor and gotten some bad medicine.
That night, Zhao Hu sneaked into the room in the dark.
Before Zhao Lian could react, he climbed onto the bed.
When Zhao Lian tried to speak, she noticed that Zhao Hu's expression was off, as if he had taken some kind of drug.
Zhao Lian quickly grabbed something to tie the man up, then went to find Zhao Hu's mother and father, and also to find a doctor.
But Zhao Hu's father stopped her, saying, "This matter cannot be spread. If it gets out, will my Zhao Hu still be able to face anyone?"
Zhao Hu's mother didn't say anything. She looked at Zhao Hu with a hint of disappointment and then turned and left.
Zhao Hu's father looked at Zhao Lian and said, "Zhao Lian, you have always known your identity. What Zhao Hu did today is something he has wronged you about."
Zhao Lian said, "I know my identity, and I don't blame Zhao Hu."
Hearing the commotion inside, Zhao Hu's father said, "Then go in. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Because the medicine Zhao Hu was taking was usually very potent, Zhao Hu's father couldn't let his son be ruined, so he patted Zhao Lian on the shoulder and left.
Finally, Zhao Lian went inside.
However, the next day, Zhao Hu did not mention the matter, and instead kept watching the outside of the village mysteriously every day.
When Zhao Hu's belly grew big, he suddenly knelt in front of his parents and said, "Father and Mother, I am pregnant with that woman's child. She will come back for me."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lian put down the axe in her hand and looked at Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu's parents quickly went to see a doctor and asked about the drug's properties. They learned that the drug had hallucinogenic effects and that excessive use could have side effects.
So Zhao Hu created a dream for himself, in which he and the woman were a perfect match, they had feelings for each other, and after they became intimate, the woman even made him wait for her.
Zhao Hu's parents told Zhao Lian not to tell Zhao Hu yet, because he was newly pregnant and couldn't be upset.
Zhao Lian watched as Zhao Hu seemed to live in his own world every day, yet he couldn't do anything about it.
That day, she worried that Zhao Hu would be heartbroken if he woke up to find her instead of the other woman.
