Chapter 885: Forcing a married woman to marry another person, don't you lose your conscience?
The woman looked at the man eagerly: "Will you really come back?"
The man opened his arms and hugged her into his arms: "Yes."
However, Su Mi saw the flash of hesitation in his eyes, which was not as firm and persistent as his tone.
The man turned around three times and finally left.
The village girl watched him disappear without leaving until an older village woman came over and took a look at the village girl who had combed her hair and was dressed as a pavilion girl. She sighed: "Do you really believe that he will come back to you?"
?”
The village girl replied affirmatively: "He is a well-educated person and will not lie to me."
Through the conversation between the two, Su Mi finally understood intermittently.
The man was a student from the city. When he went to the countryside to play, he encountered a mudslide and was separated from his classmates. He was seriously injured and was rescued by a village girl who lived alone without a father or mother.
This era is not modern, there are no mobile phones, and there is no Internet.
Telephones are only landlines, and they are only found in the homes of wealthy people in the city.
In such a remote village where there are no people around and it is difficult for war to reach it, it is impossible to contact the man's family for a while.
Therefore, the man stayed in the village to recover from his injuries.
Naturally, he fell in love with the village girl who saved him.
When the fire is strong and the love is strong, everything that should happen happens.
The villagers were very wary of the man, an outsider, and did not approve of the two of them being together.
But the two still held a small ceremony and became husband and wife in private without anyone blessing them.
There is no legal guarantee, no witness from the villagers, only the love between the two people for each other.
A few months later, the man got in touch with his family in the city and decided to go back first, then take the woman to the city to formally meet his family and get married, which led to the scene that Su Mi had just seen.
Hearing this, Su Mi had a vague premonition that something bad was going to happen.
In this kind of scenario, men usually leave in despair.
Sure enough, the village woman was also extremely worried: "...Do you really believe him so much? If he leaves and never comes back, and you know the rules of our village, you are afraid..."
But the village girl is still confident: "He will not let me down."
At that moment, Su Mi actually saw a hint of familiarity on her persistent, determined and innocent face.
Very similar to when Fu Dai mentioned Tong Shiran.
Apart from the completely different status, their confidence in their lover is exactly the same.
The scene turned and the scene in front of him disappeared.
The rural scene has also been replaced by exquisite small courtyards in the city.
It was raining lightly. Accompanied by a maid, a young woman wearing a moon-white cheongsam stood in the patio, holding a paper umbrella, facing the open door of her home, as if waiting for distinguished guests to welcome her.
The woman is about the same age as the village girl, and her appearance is also outstanding, but her facial features are calmer and smarter. At a glance, she can tell that she has seen some scenes and is a city girl who is pampered by her family.
After a while, a rickshaw stopped outside the gate.
A middle-aged man dressed as a butler held an umbrella and welcomed the man who got off the car in.
The man is exactly the one just now.
However, he had changed his outfit and wore a gray dress that was popular at the time, showing his perfect figure. He was even more upright, handsome and eye-catching than when he was at the entrance of the village before.
The injuries on his body and face are almost invisible. Apparently he left the village and returned to the city for a long time, and has basically recovered.
Even someone like Su Mi, who is used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, has to say that this man is really an attractive person.
It's pretty much the same as Tong Shiran.
When the cheongsam girl saw the man coming, her eyes flashed with gentleness, and she stepped forward: "Here we come. Mom and dad are waiting inside. Come in."
Just as the man was about to enter the house, the cheongsam woman called him softly: "Your injuries are all healed."
The man paused and then nodded: "Everything is fine."
"I asked my classmate from Great Britain to give you the scar removal cream. Have you used it? It's especially useful for treating scars."
"I've used it, it's really good." The man rolled up his sleeves and showed her the scar: "You can worry about it for me if you can."
The cheongsam girl walked up to him holding an umbrella and said softly, "You and I are an unmarried couple. We have made a marriage arrangement since we were young. If I don't worry about you, who should I worry about?"
When the maid and the housekeeper saw that the young couple wanted to have a private conversation, they all retreated.
The man's face flickered when he was looked at by the woman's persistent eyes. He lowered his head inexplicably and avoided her gaze. After a long time, he raised his face and gently touched her thin cheek with his fingertips:
"I've been missing for several months, please worry about me... I heard from your family that during those days, you went to the patrol room every day to beg them to send more manpower to search for my whereabouts, and you also ran to the church to pray for me every day.
I fell down and injured my leg one day, and it took me a month to recover...I can't help you."
The cheongsam girl's smile was full of satisfaction: "As long as you can come back safely, these are nothing. Wasn't it the same when you and I were young?"
The man's fingers paused, recalling memories: "Yes, when we were young, we played together. I was naughty and wanted to play more, but I was afraid of being punished by my father, so you lied for me, saying that you fell down outside and you stayed with me.
, was delayed. But when we were discovered, your father and my father forced us to kneel together... After kneeling for so long, our knees were bleeding, and we even had the same scars on both knees."
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
The man's smile stopped and he sighed: "You have been looking out for me since you were a child and you have sacrificed so much for me."
At this point, after all, he swallowed what he wanted to say and only smiled slightly: "I'm going in. In two days, I made a reservation at a restaurant. You have studied in Great Britain for several years and are used to eating Western food. Then we will go there together.
Eat. When the time comes, I have something to say to you."
The smile on the cheongsam girl's face paused slightly, but it didn't disappear or change in any way. She just said quietly: "Okay."
The cheongsam girl watched the man enter the room. The maid came over to accompany her and sighed:
"Miss, my future uncle treats you very well."
There was something indescribable in the cheongsam girl's eyes, and she sighed softly:
"Yeah, it's pretty good. It would have been even better if I hadn't met her unexpectedly..."
Next to her, Su Mi was excited.
Could it be that the "ta" in the cheongsam girl's mouth refers to...
Sure enough, the cheongsam girl took the umbrella from the maid's hand, waved her waist slightly, walked towards the boudoir, and spoke decisively from her fragrant lips:
"Instruct the housekeeper to find someone to go to the countryside, give the woman some money in his name, and send a few words to the woman."
The scene changed, and the exquisite courtyard in front of Su Mi disappeared again.
Back to that remote village again.
But this time, it's no longer a relaxing countryside scenery.
Under the dark and long cage-like night, there is a dark room behind the village ancestral hall.
Su Mi stood in the dark and humid dark room and saw the village girl sitting on the ground holding her knees, her face full of tears, skinny as a stick, her ragged clothes stained with blood, she looked like she had been beaten, but her teeth were still clenched tightly:
"I said, I won't marry... I'm already a married woman... Are you not losing your conscience by forcing a married woman to marry someone else?"
