Yi Minghuan didn't know about this marriage at all from the beginning. Gu Xiulan married a wife for him without informing him. It was only two months ago that he found out about this absurd thing and knew that he had a new wife.
They did not receive a marriage certificate, and they were not legally husband and wife.
But in his hometown, if one gave a bride price, paid homage to the rooster, and entered the husband's house, they would be married. Out of morality and responsibility, he had to recognize this wife.
It was just that after learning that he was 'married', Yi Minghuan's original plan was to apply for family leave, come back and explain it clearly to the girl. He would then give the other party a sum of money to end this ridiculous marriage.
However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Two months later, he was forced to leave and had to come back and settle down.
After he came back, his wife in name was beyond his expectations. Although she was not good-looking, her eyes were clear and lively.
Moreover, she was very polite to outsiders, giving people a kind of courteous and gentle feeling. She is different from normal village women.
After returning home, facing Gu Xiulan's scolding, she was venomous, without showing any timidity, and defended him, which made him more approving of her, but he also felt a little doubtful.
Since she is so strong and powerful, how could she be bullied so miserably. She was living in this shabby house, and being wronged for stealing eggs and then being beaten.
'What kind of person is she?'
Minghuan turned around, met her clear eyes, and frankly heard her say : "I know you are in a bad mood, but I want to talk to you, okay?"
"Well, Tell me." He said.
Tang Li was very tired, so she sat on the bed, asked him to sit down too, and asked, "She hates you so much, why did she help you marry me?"
"It's a good deal to take out a little gift money and buy a long-term strong laborer to come back to work and be a servant for them."
He glanced at her, quietly stated his guess, and said, "I only found out that I was married to you two months ago."
She gritted her teeth angrily, thought for a while, and believed that what he said was true. The original owner was bought into this house to be a slave!
Seeing how much Gu Xiulan resented Minghuan for being a broom star, it's no wonder she wouldn't tell him about marrying a wife for him!
"Since when did she treat you like this?" She asked again.
"Since I was seven years old. After my grandfather passed away, she has stopped covering it up from others." He said.
Tang Li thought about it. This is not concealed, which means that Gu Xiulan has been bad to him since he was a child.
'But why?'
"You are also her son. I see that she is very good to your elder brother and sister. Why is she treating you like this?"
He lowered his eyes and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Maybe it's because I'm so annoying."
Tang Li's heart was slightly pricked. She felt sorry for him.
A child that was hated and scolded by his mother since he was a child, which must have been fatal to his growth. Coupled with his father's weakness and elder brother's bullying, his childhood must have been very dark.
"Don't say that! You are very good. It's the evil mother-in- law who is sick. She doesn't like you. It's not because you didn't do well. It's because she doesn't deserve to be your mother and her character is bad!"
She hurriedly raised her hand, patted his shoulder, and said seriously:
"Although mothers are supposed to be the greatest in the world and the closest person to us, she isn't that type of mother.
She didn't feed you at birth, and she would scold or beat you, so you don't need to expect to get her love anymore. You should just maintain the last bit of tolerance and filial piety to her.
In the future, if she scolds you, you will treat her as a fart. If she wants to do something, you will beat her dear son like today, and make her mad angry!"...
