Chapter 1173: Short-lived Marriage >

lace for people to liveNow, following the lady's orders, he pulled on the reins and the carriage turned, heading straight for the gate. At this time, the gate hadn't been closed yet, mainly because t...Ripples touched her forehead, it was still a bit feverish, and she felt weak all over. She estimated that it was the result of soaking in the river water, after all, winter had already arrived. This body could wake up because of her arrival.

Since the environment is safe now, Ripple closes her eyes and begins to receive the memories of her original self.

Her original name was Xing Lianyi, the youngest daughter of Old Man Xing. Although she was born in a rural village, she had never actually done much farm work and could be considered a pampered young girl. While she was a little willful, her thoughts were simple and kind. Otherwise, she wouldn't have jumped into the river to save Gou Dan, a dog from their village, when he fell in.

Actually, the original body could swim, but now that winter has arrived, the river water is icy cold. Moreover, when rescuing Gou Dan, Gou Dan, who was flustered and struggling, kicked him several times.

So the original body pushed Gou Dan onto the shore, but her own cotton coat absorbed water and became heavier. Plus, she had a cramp in her calf, so she sank down. Still, she could hear the cries for help, and Li Xiangjun, who had heard them, ran over and jumped into the river to save the original body.

The original body had water in its lungs and was in shock. Li Xiangjun, being a soldier, knew a bit of basic first aid. He performed CPR on the original body, which is why the person who came after hearing the news saw Li Xiangjun holding and kissing the original body, as Xing Laotou said at the beginning.

After spitting out the water, the original body finally calmed down. The elders of the Xing and Li families arrived immediately and found the village barefoot doctor to check on both the big and small ones. Then, they prescribed calming soup and fever-reducing medicine for the big and small, and asked them both to go home and rest.

Saving people was originally a good deed, but because of this incident, some unkind rumors about the two spread throughout the village. Li Xiangjun's mother, Lao Li, was very unhappy and wanted her eldest son in the army to marry a wife who could be helpful to him, rather than a peasant woman from the same village.

The Xing family is quite traditional and believes that their daughter was taken advantage of by Li Xiangjun, and that she only did this to save the children in Li's family. They insist that Li Xiangjun should be responsible and marry their daughter.

At that time, the original owner was at a loss, and besides having some feelings for Li Xiangjun, he also felt that he had skin-to-skin contact with Li Xiangjun. Therefore, he recognized the other party and did not stop his parents' decision.

Although Li Xiangjun thought that his original body was young, beautiful, and a high school student, he agreed with what his mother said that it would not help his development in the army. However, since the Xing family insisted, he could only compromise.

After all, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had indeed kissed the original owner. He was also afraid that if he disagreed, Ripple's family would make a fuss and go to the military. At that time, he was at a crucial moment in his promotion from deputy company commander to company commander. He couldn't afford any problems with his style, so the marriage between the two families was hastily arranged.

Li Po-zi was furious, but she also knew that this concerned her son's future. Although it was a small matter, if it were to escalate, it would certainly not be good for her son. So, she gritted her teeth and made arrangements for her eldest son's marriage.

The era in which the protagonist lived was the early 1980s, shortly after a period of great change. People were still cautious and reserved. To avoid gossip, Old Lady Li followed contemporary standards and prepared three dowry items (furniture, bedding, utensils, and jewelry), along with some furniture. The betrothal gift amounted to one hundred and eighty-eight, which was unprecedented in Fuyuan Village. This allowed the elders of the Xing family to save face.

All these expenses were Li Xiangjun's remittances sent back home. After the wedding was over, Li Xiangjun's vacation also ended. His current rank did not allow family members to join him in the military, so he could only leave his wife behind in their hometown and return to the army alone.

As a newlywed, Riyan didn't know much about anything. She did whatever her mother-in-law told her to do. Although she was raised with care by the Xing family, she still knew how to wash clothes, cook, and feed the chickens and ducks.

Lipo felt that her daughter-in-law hindered the eldest son's development, so she was relatively cold to her. Although she didn't openly mistreat her daughter-in-law, emotional abuse was still hurtful. This made the original owner feel very uncomfortable, so she went back to her parents' house every few days.

When a daughter-in-law visits her parents' home too often, the village starts gossiping. Some say that the Xing family interferes in their married life, while others say that Li Po (the mother-in-law) mistreats daughters-in-law she dislikes, which is why they run back to their parents' homes.

Li Pozi immediately became unhappy. She felt she had done nothing wrong, so how could her daughter-in-law run back to her parents' home So, after Lian Yi returned to her parents' home again, Li Pozi went to her door as a mother-in-law.

The original person wasn't foolish; she knew that if she frequently went back to her parents' home, it would be bad for both her family and her in-laws. So, she didn't go back very often.

Just at this time, the original owner found out she was pregnant. She was very surprised. When Li Pozi knew about it, she gradually became kinder to her. After all, she was her first grandchild, so she took good care of the original owner.

When Xingjia learned that his daughter was pregnant, he was overjoyed and immediately went to visit her with a rooster, brown sugar, and eggs.

Seeing their daughter's rosy complexion and smile, the Xing family members finally felt relieved. Li Pozi, too, wore a pleased expression as she praised them for raising such a good daughter. She even patted her chest and assured them that she would take good care of her daughter-in-law and help her give birth to a healthy baby boy.

Before her confinement period ended, when she was still three months pregnant and not yet fully settled, Li Po-tze wouldn't let her do anything. She really treated her daughter-in-law like a princess, bringing everything to her - food, clothes, you name it. After the baby had settled in her womb, she also wouldn't allow her to get out of bed.

Until the child was born, Li Po only let her do some light work and often bought meat from town to supplement her daughter-in-law's nutrition.

Li Pozi's approach made the Xing couple dispel their worries. Although Li Pozi treated her daughter normally, as long as she valued the child in her daughter's belly, she would definitely not mistreat her.

After ten months of pregnancy, the original owner gave birth in one go. However, due to overnutrition in the baby, the child was too big and had a difficult delivery. Because the baby was breech, its feet came out first. The village barefoot doctor said he couldn't handle it himself and urged both families to send the baby to the hospital as soon as possible.

The two families worked through the night to get the mother to the county hospital. After two days and nights of labor, the child was born. However, the mother suffered severe postpartum hemorrhage and infection, and she passed away in the ward after just three days.

At that time, Li Pozi held her chubby grandson and cried bitterly. Then, she, along with the elderly couple of the Xing family, held a funeral for the original owner, who thus breathed her last.

The ripples didn't take long to receive the original body's fleeting memories, and then she contacted Shiu and asked:

What is the original body's desire

She wants to marry a soldier.

Shall I still marry Li Xiangjun

Ripples raised an eyebrow and asked.

The other party did not give a clear explanation, only the surface meaning.

The stone mill is quite the expert in its field.

I want to know what happened to Li Xiangjun after his original death.

Ripples cares about this more.

After the original body died, Li Pozi stayed at home to raise her grandson. When the grandson was two years old, Li Xiangjun married a female civilian officer from the army logistics department, and it was his first marriage.

"Humph! Back then, Li Xiangjun and the original owner didn't get a marriage certificate when they got married."

This point is definitely a ripple, because there is no memory of the marriage registration in the original body.

"Not only that, after he held his wedding banquet back home, upon returning to the army, he didn't even file a marriage report. He basically refused to acknowledge his marriage with the original body."ed to Silano.
