25 years ago, Gu Jianguo was still a young and handsome man. In order to make money to support his family, he was able to work three jobs by himself. He worked from morning to late at night every day, and he never felt tired at all, and he even enjoyed it.

He was also the most sought-after young man in the nearby village at that time. The matchmakers who came to propose marriage almost broke the doorstep of his house, but he still did not fall in love with anyone.

The matchmaker asked him curiously, "Jianguo, we are almost dating all the girls from all over the country. Why don't you like someone yet? Or maybe you like someone with a different personality. Just tell us. We might as well help you find it."

Gu Jianguo scratched his head and couldn't explain why. He could only shirk the matchmaker and say there was no rush. He had no idea of ​​getting married yet.

A month passed. Late one night, Gu Jianguo finished his work at the construction site and rode his bicycle back home.

When he was passing by a remote river, he suddenly heard someone shouting for help.

Gu Jianguo was kind-hearted. He heard someone calling for help, so why did he ignore it? He immediately ignored his bicycle and rushed to the riverside to look for it.

At this time, the cry for help was getting weaker and weaker, and Gu Jianguo could hardly hear it clearly. Fortunately, he finally saw a person holding a dead branch in the middle of the river and about to sink to the bottom of the river.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Gu Jianguo immediately jumped into the fast-flowing river and spent a lot of effort to pull the drowning man to the shore.

It was also at this time that Gu Jianguo discovered that the person he had just rescued was actually a young girl.

Fortunately, Gu Jianguo rescued her in time, and the young girl's life was not in danger. After resting for a while, she thanked Gu Jianguo with a pale face.

Gu Jianguo quickly waved his hand and said, "Girl, you can't say thank you for rescuing people. I believe many passers-by will help when they meet. This is just a small gesture."

The young girl pursed her snow-white lips tightly without saying a word.

It was also at that moment that Gu Jianguo was surprised to find that the young girl in front of him was so beautiful, but after he came to his senses, he asked again: "Girl, what are you doing here if you are not sleeping well at home in the middle of the night? And he accidentally fell into the river.”

The young girl didn't want to mention these things to Gu Jianguo, but she thought that he was her savior. After thinking about it carefully, she just said it.

After the girl informed him, Gu Jianguo finally knew the reason for the incident.

It turns out that the young girl named Susu lives in a nearby village. She was an orphan since she was a child. She was adopted by an old couple when she was in her infancy and has stayed here ever since.

But the old couple also had a son. This son was lazy, an alcoholic, and loved gambling. He lost all the pension money the old couple had saved, and even owed a debt outside.

For this reason, the debtor came to his door several times to demand debts, and almost overturned his home.

However, the son of the old couple still did not realize this mistake and forced the old couple to give him money at home. He also wanted to win back the lost money in a gambling game.

But the old couple had lost all their money long ago, so there was no money left for him.

The son of the old couple didn't want to accept his fate, so he had no choice but to turn his attention to Susu and wanted to sell her for money!

"Susu, you are an orphan picked up by our family. If my family hadn't given you a bite of food, you would have starved to death outside and would not have grown up. Now is the time for you to repay us. Listen to me. According to the arrangement, I want to marry you off!"

The old couple learned that their son wanted to forcibly sell Susu for gambling money. They were so angry that they wanted to draw a clear line between them and their unfilial son and sever their relationship.

But the old couple's son didn't care at all what his parents thought and insisted on having his own way. For this reason, the old couple were both pissed to death by this unfilial son.

Before the old couple died, they took Susu's hands and told her to leave quickly, escape from this home, and stop staying here.

Su Su couldn't bear it. The son of the old couple was right. They gave her life, so she should repay them, so Su Su decided to agree to the arrangement and planned to marry herself as a way of repaying her kindness.

Tonight, she had planned to go to the cemetery where the old couple was buried to say goodbye to them and tell them that she was getting married early tomorrow morning and would no longer be able to visit their graves.

Unexpectedly, when passing the wooden bridge in front of her, because the road was too dark at night, Su Su couldn't see the road clearly under her feet, so she fell into the river until she was rescued by Gu Jianguo.

When Gu Jianguo heard Su Su's complete story, he was so angry that he punched the big tree, "Beast, this person is simply a beast. How can there be such a person in the world? Su Su, you listen to me, for your own sake." For happiness, you must never marry, you know?"

Of course Su Su knew this truth, but she was born an orphan and had no choice. In order to repay the old couple for saving her life, she could only agree to this decision.

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Su Su knew that it would be too late if she didn't go back. The only regret she felt was that she had no chance to add a stick of incense to the old couple, let alone repay this lifesaver.

"Brother Gu, I'm leaving. If I have a chance, I will repay you in the next life."

With tears in her eyes, Su Su turned around and left. She had already thought about it. Life was so hard anyway. After she got married and the son of the old couple paid off their debts, she didn't want to continue living in this world.

Gu Jianguo watched Su Su's back gradually leave. At that moment, his heart seemed to be stabbed hard by a sharp thorn, and the pain made it difficult for him to breathe.

Just when Susu's figure was about to disappear from his sight, Gu Jianguo got on his bicycle and chased after her desperately. He stopped Susu and told her seriously, "Susu, you can't marry her! That one!" Don’t the beast just want money? I have it, I’ll give it to him, and you’ll be free!”

In this way, Gu Jianguo returned all the money he had saved over the years to build a new house to the beast on Susu's behalf, and Susu was freed.

For this reason, in order to repay Gu Jianguo, Susu married him. Although the two of them lived a somewhat difficult life after the marriage, their life was so enjoyable.

It's just that God may have deliberately punished this poor girl. When she was giving birth, she died in the delivery room due to blood loss.

Gu Jianguo almost collapsed. If Susu hadn't given birth to Gu Shutong for her, Gu Jianguo might have followed.
