Substitute Bride: The Gentle Husband of the Evil Girl is Crazy and Wild

When Wang Guihua was a child, she liked watching girls get married the most, the bride and groom bowing to heaven and earth, and seeing them smile at each other.

Her heart was also full of longing.

Whenever she was bullied by her stepmother and step-sister, she would fantasize that her childhood sweetheart would fall from the sky to save her. She would also think that when she married her childhood sweetheart in the future, she would definitely be good to the child.

Even if it is a girl, she should be raised well.

With this longing, I reached the age of marriage.

She was looking forward to him marrying her, but what she ended up waiting for was her sister marrying him.

And she herself was married to Li Wu from Dayuan Village.

She struggled and tried to talk to her stepmother, asking if she could find someone she liked even if she didn't marry her childhood sweetheart, but she was beaten by her stepmother instead.

She was stuffed into the sedan chair without crying.

Being innocent by nature, she still looked on the bright side, thinking that perhaps Li Wu was not as bad as they said.

With this beautiful fantasy, wait until the door is opened.

The red veil was lifted, and she saw a young man who reeked of alcohol. He looked at her with a frown and came closer to her.

It was the first time she encountered such a thing and she was a little scared.

I subconsciously shrank back.

Unexpectedly, this action was seen as a sign of disdain in the eyes of the man.

With a "pop" sound.

On her wedding night, she was slapped by her husband. She was scared and confused. She covered her face and asked tremblingly: "Why did you hit me?"

Li Wu, who was drunk, thought about how his grandfather used to beat his grandmother in the same way.

He burped and replied confidently: "You are my wife, I can beat you if I want."

Then he slapped her again.

Wang Guihua was angry and aggrieved. She didn't know where she got the courage from. She suddenly bit Li Wu's arm and bit him fiercely, which made Li Wu scream in response.

On this wedding night, while they were eating and drinking outside, they were fighting in the room.

The fight between the two was so noisy that they were stopped by their father-in-law who came rushing over.

With the intervention of her father-in-law, Li Wu behaved herself for a while. Not long after she gave birth to her eldest son, her father-in-law passed away.

When he left, Li Wu was like a kite with a broken string.

Completely let go.

He thought he was free, and he hung out with bad friends every day. Gradually, all the land in his family was lost. Wang Guihua tried to persuade him.

Li Wu didn't listen at all. In order to prevent his family from living on the streets in the future, she hid her meager dowry and the jewelry Li Wu gave her.

No matter how much wealth you have, there will come a day when you will lose it all.

Li Wu was kidnapped by people from the gambling house, and she was asked to use silver to redeem him.

Looking at her son who was not crying or making a fuss in her arms, and then looking at the blood-stained letter, she took the donkey cart, the only means of transportation left in the family, and went to the city to redeem him. There she saw Li Wu tied up and hanging on a beam.

He cried out with tears and snot: "Wife, save me, save me..."

A frightening thought arose in her mind.

It would be great if Li Wu died at this moment.

This thought only lasted for a moment. She could not go back to her parents' home after getting married. If Li Wu died, the widow and orphan would surely be destitute.

She couldn't let Guangchang be without his father.

With this thought in mind, she took out the little silver she had left.

The donkey cart also arrived, so they had to walk back. Li Wu was beaten black and blue, perhaps because he saw Wang Guihua coming alone to save him.

He grabbed her hand and uttered words of repentance through his teeth.

"Wife, I promise I won't gamble anymore. Let's go back and take care of the remaining fields and live a good life."

There were bruises on Wang Guihua's face, which were the wounds she got from being beaten by Li Wu when she tried to stop him from going to the city to gamble a few days ago. Listening to his repentance, she still had some expectations for her husband.

He said helplessly: "You gambled it all away."

"What? The family property is gone?" Li Wu exclaimed.

After returning home, Li Wu ran around the house and found that all the money in his house had been gambled away. He found this fact hard to accept.

But I have to accept it.

That day, he hugged Wang Guihua and cried all night, vowing never to gamble again and to live a good life.

Wang Guihua believed it.

Li Wu decided to go out and do business. In addition to the little money she earned from hard labor, she borrowed some from the village chief and watched her husband leave the village.

Wang Guihua didn't dare to exaggerate her expectations, but she still had some anticipation.

I hope Li Wu can bring something to this family.

She was always reluctant to think too badly of things, and even though the women in the village said what Li Wu was doing outside, she still held a glimmer of hope.

The fact is, Li Wu failed and he came back like a drowned rat.

Li Wu had completely lost his fighting spirit. All he did every day was drink and smoke, and he would not stop even when his hands were shaking.

In addition, she and Li Guangchang were beaten, and then three daughters were born.

The burden on the family is getting heavier.

The income from her embroidery work was not enough to support her family.

Whenever she advised Li Wu to go out and find a job, she would either be scolded or beaten.

Some people go against the current when faced with difficulties, while others are knocked down by difficulties, become numb day by day, and slowly forget what they were like originally.

Osmanthus fragrans belongs to the second type.

She listened to the women in the village advising her to be more positive and that her life would get better as long as her son grew up.

She protested at first.

"My son has his own life when he grows up. I can't be a burden to him."

What he got in return was everyone's ridicule: "You gave birth to three daughters in a row. If the first child wasn't a son, I think your Li Wu would have divorced you long ago."

For a day or two, maybe you can just ignore it.

One year, two years, ten years, twenty years...

Years are like wrinkles on the face, accumulating into a pile without you noticing, and those numbing words seem to have become normal speech.

Instead, the original idea was firmly pushed to the bottom, until it became difficult to recall it.

Being beaten, favoring sons over daughters, not liking the little granddaughter...

Wang Guihua couldn't even remember when she forgot her former self.

She thought her life was just passing by like this.

However, she did not expect that the fate of the second half of her life would be rewritten when she was in her thirties. What her third daughter had scolded her before was right. She was a coward who could not protect herself and did not want to have children.

I watched my little daughter pin Li Wu to the ground and punch him in the face.

And the words I yelled at myself.

Her numb heart suddenly fell, as if she had fallen from a cliff into a lake, suffocating in panic. With the help of her little daughter again and again, she was able to escape.

Gradually stabilized in the lake.

On the night she proposed divorce to Li Wu, she didn't know where she got the courage from.

A strong voice in her head was screaming, "Resist, resist... Stop enduring it. Isn't it enough that you've suffered in the first half of your life? Don't sacrifice the second half of your life!"

Until he yelled, "I'm not coming with you."

The voice suddenly disappeared.

She still can't forget how fast her heart was beating at that time, nor can she forget her little daughter's thin back, which was like a mountain when she carried her home on her back.

He held his weak body firmly and walked forward step by step.

Under the fist of her youngest daughter, the family slowly changed. Wang Guihua couldn't say how she felt about Li Wu's change.

She is happy about family harmony because she wants to see the best for her children.

I didn't dare to have any expectations of Li Wu.

She was afraid that it would be the same as before, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Even though Li Wu had gradually changed many of his bad habits except for his love of face, she still didn't dare to expect it.

Bruises and wounds will heal slowly.

Memories are not easy to heal.

The year my youngest daughter went to the north, she gave me a few hundred-liang silver notes when she left, and also said a lot of things to me. There is one sentence I remember very clearly.

She said: "Life is short, try to love yourself more."

Yes, life is short, we should love ourselves more.

After Xiaoyu left, she started an embroidery business with her eldest daughter and second daughter. Although her eldest son-in-law was a little silly, he loved Xiaoyan very much, but Li Wu's mouth was sometimes out of control.

I have to make some sarcastic remarks.

After talking so much, Wang Qian became very concerned. He heard Xiaoyan say that the child often asked her if she hated fools.

Even though Xiaoyan said no, the child was still not happy.

When Xiaoyu married Gu Fei, it was heard that he went to see Master Yaowang and asked him to help treat his illness, which could not be cured in a short time.

He took medicine for a long time and later went to Medicine King Valley.

I stayed there for a few months, and then went home to recuperate for half a year before my condition gradually got better.

Now, whenever Li Wu mocked others, Wang Qian would secretly mock him back home, which made Li Wu so angry that he went to cause trouble for Guangchang again.

It is said that once the wound heals, the pain will be forgotten.

Wang Guihua felt that she was the same, otherwise, how could she see the family quarreling and laughing heartily.

As I grow older.

She was fine, but Li Wu's health was not good.

He loved smoking when he was young, and his hands trembled at that time. When he was in his fifties and sixties, he coughed constantly. In the words of his third son-in-law, "There was something wrong with his heart and lungs."

If there is a problem with the internal organs, taking medicine will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

Li Wu was positive. He continued to smoke his tobacco every day, bask in the sun as usual, and touch his missing ears and front teeth when he had nothing to do.

I sigh at his relatively long life.

Sometimes he would go to a restaurant and chat with others. He would touch his missing front tooth and proudly say, "See? My little daughter had it aborted. Isn't that awesome?"

People laughed at him: "They say that a good son is born under the stick, but in your family, a good father is born under the stick."

Li Wu glared at the man and said unhappily, "What kind of stick is that? My third daughter knocked it off with her fist."

As soon as these words came out, everyone chatting burst into laughter.

He didn't care and still smiled happily.

The day he passed away was very peaceful, without any pain, and Wang Guihua did not cry. She calmly went to inform the whole family.

According to his will, he was reburied in a different cemetery than his father.

On the day of the wake, Wang Guihua and Li Xiaoyu stood together.

The little girl had a faint smile on her face from beginning to end. She was a little curious: "Xiaoyu, what are you laughing at?"

Li Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows and motioned for her to go outside to talk.

I followed my daughter to a corner where few people passed by. My daughter stood inside the corner. She stood at the edge of the corner, and a beam of sunlight came in through the gap in the eaves.

It sprinkled on my face and felt warm. Then my daughter spoke.

She said: "I heard a story before, there was a couple, when they were young, the man treated the woman very badly, not only beat and scolded her but also ignored her, often yelled at her, and would not hold an umbrella for her when it rained. Even if he did, most of the umbrella would be on the man, and the woman would get half of her body soaked by the rain while carrying things."

"Day after day, year after year, they lived like this for decades until the old man passed away, and the old woman laughed in the mourning hall."

"Her relatives and children didn't understand her. She felt relieved and couldn't help laughing even when they blamed her."

Having said that, Li Xiaoyu looked at Wang Guihua, his voice tinged with a hint of smile.

"Mom, do you want to laugh?"

Wang Guihua looked at her seriously and was also thinking about these words seriously.

Considering the hard times in the first half of her life, Li Wu's death was a relief for her, just like an unstable needle pressing on her heart finally fell off.

Judging from the good days in the second half of her life, she and Li Wu were like two familiar people.

Just get along with each other.

It's not bad, but it's not excellent either.

Thinking of this, she said to her daughter, "I want to laugh for my past." She glanced at the mourning hall and said helplessly, "But I can't laugh."

Li Xiaoyu curled his lips and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Then let me tell you a joke."

The aging Wang Guihua can’t quite remember the jokes her daughter told that day, but she remembers that she laughed very happily that day.

I even laughed to tears.

The moment she closed her eyes, she saw her younger self.

The skinny little girl said innocently, "When I have children in the future, I will definitely treat them very well."
