Xihe was in a trance. In front of him was Xia Luo, who had short ear-length hair, rough skin, and was wearing gray clothes. Her whole personality had changed drastically, and she no longer had the high-spiritedness she had when she was reborn.
She heard news about her and Ji Changye when she was in the army, and knew that they were not in a good situation after returning to the village.
She got pregnant out of wedlock and followed Ji Changye regardless of her daughter's family's reputation. Her behavior was simply despicable. If it weren't for the sake of the Ji and Xia families, the villagers would have given her away long ago.
But even so, he still couldn't help but whisper behind his back.
Xia Luo couldn't bear it, especially because the daughter she gave birth to was not taken seriously by her husband's family at all.
So in just a few years, she gave birth to three children in succession, and she looked much older. Fortunately, she finally gave birth to a son.
But her life was still not easy.
Mrs. Xia is tired of her and likes to find trouble whenever she has nothing to do.
But her parents were timid and cowardly. When Mrs. Xia targeted her, she didn't dare to say a word and let her get scolded.
Gradually, Xia Luo became a little crazy. In particular, although Ji Changye was married to her, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart. He didn't take as much care of her as he did in the city. He just went to work every day and fell asleep when he got home from work.
Xia Luo felt suffocated and made a fuss every time, but Ji Changye became even more reticent because of this.
Xia Luo's heart gradually became distorted. She protected her son in every possible way and beat or scolded the two girls. They were so skinny that they were pitiful in the village.
Ji’s mother was so angry that she cursed: “This is a disaster!”
A few years have passed, and the mother has long forgiven her youngest son. However, she has been living in the army with her second daughter-in-law's family in the past few years, and has no influence on the family.
She couldn't take the two children over, so she could only pretend that she didn't see them.
But I hated Xia Luo in my heart.
This time Xihe and the others went back to their hometown to see Mrs. Xia. Ji's mother was taking care of Ji Heng in the army. Before leaving, she couldn't help but tell Ji Changqing to go back and take a look at Ji Changye.
After all, he is still thinking about his little son who he has grown up doting on.
Xihe and Xia Luo looked at each other, and the people around them noticed their gazes, and the air suddenly became quiet.
Mrs. Xia was furious, pointing at her and scolding: "What are you looking at? A person who has been stabbed a thousand times, didn't see Xiao He coming back, can't even say hello, is he mute?"
Mrs. Xia was used to being arrogant and would fight with everyone. Besides, she was so disgusted with Xia Luo that she naturally spoke mercilessly.
Xia Luo's face suddenly darkened, she turned around and left with the basket in her hand.
Mrs. Xia's eyes widened: "She, she, she..."
Xihe held her arm and comforted her gently: "Nai, you are not fully recovered yet. Let's go home quickly and sit down to rest."
The others were reminded and reacted instantly, asking Mrs. Xia to go home and have a good rest, and chat together again when they were free.
The Xia family had been waiting at home for a long time. When they saw them coming back from a distance, they hurriedly greeted them.
"Xiaohe! Changqing! Hey, are you back? Come on, come on!"
"Mom, how are you feeling? Are you okay?"
"Can't die."
"..."
Mrs. Xia blocked everyone's mouths with one sentence.
In the entire Xia family, except for her precious granddaughter, she didn't like anyone, and her words were even more sarcastic.
Xihe looked at everyone's embarrassed expressions and felt funny in his heart. He personally helped Old Mrs. Xia into the house. The small and low room was exactly the same as before, except for a few additions, which she had sent back.
She was chatting with Mrs. Xia in the house. In the yard, Ji Changqing communicated with the Xia family with a stern face.
His momentum was so strong that several elders of the Xia family held back their strength and did not escape. They spoke tremblingly and with cold sweat on their foreheads. They did not subconsciously relax until dinner was served.
That night, the Xia family made great efforts and prepared a table of good wine and food to entertain them.
Everyone at the table was talking loudly. The villagers were drinking and their faces were red. They were obviously very happy. Although Ji Changye, who was invited at the same time, also smiled, the silence on his face was hard to ignore.
The moment he was expelled from the army, he fully realized his mistake.
Unfortunately, it was too late, so he could only marry Xia Luo and return to his hometown with his wife and children.
He joined the army early and was greatly affected. Every time he thought about it, he felt uneasy with his conscience and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
He worked hard every day just to alleviate the guilt in his heart. He should be fighting on the battlefield and fighting the enemy, but now... the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.
Ji Changqing saw it and said nothing, but personally sent his brother out after dinner.
The night in the countryside was very dark, and every household had turned off the lights. The bright moonlight fell down, casting two long shadows on the ground.
"Brother...I'm sorry."
Ji Changye lowered his head.
The spine was bent by something invisible.
In just a few years, not only did Xia Luo age greatly, but Ji Changye was also overcome by pain and looked even older than Ji Changye.
Ji Changqing said nothing, just raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying nothing.
Ji Changye couldn't bear it anymore, covered his face with his hands, squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.
He really knew he was wrong.
He should listen to his elder brother, shouldn't provoke Xia Luo, and shouldn't do stupid things.
Ji Changqing stood with his eyes clear, so what if he was wrong? What has happened can never be undone.
Early the next morning, before Xihe woke up, the Xia family's courtyard was filled with people, laughing loudly. Everyone held Mrs. Xia in their hands, making everyone smile.
When they saw Xihe coming out, they gave her some affectionate compliments, praising her for her filial piety and so on.
Boss Xia and his family also felt bright after hearing this.
This is their daughter.
For two days in a row, there was a lot of excitement at home. The Xia family and the Ji family were talked about everywhere in the village, and then they couldn't help but think of another person.
They couldn't help but look at Xia Luo, who was waving a hoe and sweating profusely.
Similarly, when she married into the Ji family, one's life got better and better, while the other pulled down someone who should have had a bright future.
I don’t know how Xia Luo feels now that Xia He is back?
Xia Luo: Of course I hate you.
The sights around her were so blatant that it was hard to ignore them. Xia Luo gritted her teeth and swung the hoe fiercely, one by one, as if she was hoeing an enemy.
"Xia Luo, don't hoe so deep, it won't be easy to sow seeds."
People on the same team couldn't help but remind them.
Xia Luo turned her head fiercely, so scared that the little girl froze and dared not speak.
The atmosphere was weird until after work was over and Xia Luo turned around and walked away, everyone looked at each other and got together to talk.
Xia Luo came home angrily. She opened the door but didn't see her daughter. She was furious. When she asked, she found out that she was called to Xia's house. She rushed to Xia's house angrily.
Bang, open the door and walk straight into the center of the yard.
The two skinny little girls trembled and turned pale with fright: "Mom..."
Xia Luo picked up the child and turned around to leave.
The two children staggered behind, and their shoes were pulled off. It made people feel distressed. Xihe frowned but did not shout to stop.
After all, she is someone else's daughter, and it is not easy for outsiders to control her.
However, Mrs. Xia was very angry and slammed the table: "She is really getting more and more capable!"
