Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua and Gu Wenqing are strolling around the town middle school on this side, while over in Shanggou Village, Li Yuncui is at home watching TV in a daze.

At this moment her mobile phone rang, and Zhou Zhihao sent her a WeChat message.

"Meet at the old place in half an hour."

After reading this message, she immediately deleted it.

Because she knew that if this kind of thing were discovered by Wang Yaohua, her fate would absolutely be miserable.

She was also very worried, very afraid.

But these worries and fears brought a kind of indescribable stimulation deep in her heart.

So on the surface she refused, and sent Zhou Zhihao a message like this:

"Can you stop coming to find me?"

In her heart, however, she was hoping for an even more forceful response from Zhou Zhihao.

"If you don't come, I'll go tell Wang Yaohua."

Zhou Zhihao indeed did as she wished, forcing her to go over in a domineering way.

Her heart then didn't have to feel so guilty and self-reproachful, after all everything was forced upon her helplessly.

So she said:

"Alright then."

After saying this, she deleted all the messages together.

As for Zhou Zhihao's WeChat nickname, it had also been marked by her as ZZH.

Every time after chatting, she not only deleted the chat records, but also deleted the chat page.

In this way, Zhou Zhihao was hidden in the friend list, under the letter Z one had to scroll way down to find him; even if Wang Yaohua checked her phone, he might not be able to easily find him.

Li Yuncui returned to her room to tidy up a bit, then was about to go out.

At this moment her mother called out to her:

"Yun Cui, you're going out again?"

Li Yuncui nodded:

"Mm, Mom, I'm going out for a walk."

Her mother Luo Jiaxin frowned:

"The wedding ceremony is on August 1st, you should settle your mind a bit."

As a mother, as someone who has been through it, how could Luo Jiaxin not sniff out a clue?

Before Zhou Zhihao came to Shanggou Village, Li Yuncui was a shut-in who didn't step out the door all day.

After Zhou Zhihao arrived at Shanggou Village, Li Yuncui ran outside every few days, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night.

Although there was no evidence, the signs couldn't be more obvious.

She was just afraid her daughter wouldn't be able to extract herself when the time came, so she kindly reminded her.

Li Yuncui, however, didn't take her mother's words to heart, and replied very perfunctorily:

"Got it, I'll be back soon."

Seeing her attitude, Luo Jiaxin was very displeased, hurriedly pulled her back, closed the door to prevent the neighbors from hearing, then asked in a low voice:

"You're going out to see Zhou Zhihao again?"

Li Yuncui's heart skipped a beat, her expression trembling slightly.

Immediately she naturally hurriedly argued back:

"Mom, I'm not."

But Luo Jiaxin questioned:

"If you're not, why do you run out every three days? You must not mess around with Zhou Zhihao anymore. Since you've already chosen to marry Wang Yaohua, you must watch your conduct. Wang Yaohua won't hold the past against you, but if he finds out you betrayed him now, or after marriage, and he wants a divorce, wants the bride price back, what then?"

Li Yuncui's mouth gaped slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a long silence, she finally blurted out:

"So you're only worried the bride price will be taken back?"

The subtext of Li Yuncui's words was: you only care about the bride price, not about me, your daughter.

But Luo Jiaxin didn't taste the true meaning of Li Yuncui's words; she subconsciously answered:

"Of course I'm worried the bride price will be taken back! You also know, that 100,000 yuan bride price was already taken by your dad to pay off debts! We can't come up with it, so you must not cause any trouble!"

Seeing her mother like this, Li Yuncui felt desolate in her heart, and that rebellious streak was also ignited:

"I know, I have my own plans, no need for you to meddle!"

After saying this, Li Yuncui shook off Luo Jiaxin's hand and walked out coldly.

Luo Jiaxin could only sigh:

"Ai!"

She really wanted to follow and track her, to see if her daughter was really messing around with Zhou Zhihao.

But then she thought, even if she got evidence of her daughter messing around with Zhou Zhihao, what use would it be? Make a big scene out of it?

The wedding is almost here, she absolutely cannot let things blow up; she can only turn a blind eye and pretend nothing happened!

And at this moment, Luo Jiaxin's mobile phone rang.

Ever since her husband Li Zhenxing took on debt, many strange harassing calls had come in.

So she generally didn't answer unknown calls.

Only this time, the call coming in was a local phone number.

Luo Jiaxin thought for a moment, and in the end still answered.

"Hello, who is this?"

She was very vigilant; as long as it was a debt collector, she would hang up immediately.

As a result, the other party didn't say who they were, only said:

"You're Li Zhenxing's wife, right? Come to Town and pick up your husband."

Luo Jiaxin frowned:

"What's going on? Isn't he working in County Town?"

The person on the other end of the phone said:

"Don't ask, just hurry over, wait for you at the street entrance."

Luo Jiaxin felt it was very baffling.

In the end she still made a trip to Town.

Fortunately today happened to be Market Day; she went out to the Highway side at the Village Entrance, and before long a passenger minivan arrived, then she took the minivan to Town.

Arriving at Town, she saw her husband Li Zhenxing.

Only to see Li Zhenxing bruised and swollen, the whole person completely dazed and lost.

Luo Jiaxin saw this, immediately turned pale with shock, hurriedly asked:

"What happened? Husband, who beat you like this!"

Then also hurriedly asked the stranger standing next to Li Zhenxing:

"Was it you who beat him, don't leave, if you don't make it clear, I'll report to the police!"

That stranger not only didn't have a trace of fear, but instead sneered:

"Ask your own husband! Want to report to the police, have to let your husband agree first!"

Sure enough, Li Zhenxing spoke up at this time:

"Don't report to the police, this is all my fault, I deserve it!"

That stranger said:

"Person I've delivered to you, if anything happens don't blame me, additionally, the debt owed, must be repaid before August 1st, otherwise bear the consequences yourself!"

That stranger finished saying these words, turned around and left coolly.

Luo Jiaxin was completely at a loss:

"Husband, what exactly happened?"

Li Zhenxing fiercely slapped himself two big slaps, "pa pa" two sounds loud like firecrackers, then only then wept bitterly and said:

"I deserve to die, I'm a bastard, I'm not human! I lost all of Yun Cui's 100,000 Bride Price, all of it! Losing it all wasn't enough, still owe 120,000 usurious loans!"

Luo Jiaxin heard these words, body trembled, vision went black, only felt the sky was about to collapse!

"What?!"

Luo Jiaxin's throat trembled, simply couldn't believe, her own this thrifty and good at managing household, honest and dutiful man, how could he go gamble, gambling wasn't enough, actually even went to borrow usurious loans!

Li Zhenxing cried with snot and tears, mouth shouting:

"I deserve to die, I really deserve to die..."
