After hearing what his daughter said, Li Sang chuckled and said, "Ah Shu, it’s been hard on you all these years."
Da Niu shook her head and said, "It’s not difficult at all. Father, I was grateful for having you as my father."
Hearing her words, Li Sang felt sour in his heart. Even his daughter knows about the efforts he makes to give his family a better life, so why are they completely invisible to his wife?
He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Okay, Father needs to go to the foothills. After a while, Father will pick some wild fruits for you and your brother to eat."
"Okay. I’m going to prepare pancakes for Father."
After leaving Aunt Li’s house, Chen Lina returned to her parents’ house. On the way back, she passed by Father Li’s house and saw Li Chenze helping Zhang Dongmei wash clothes.
Seeing him gently wiping Zhang Dongmei’s sweat, Chen Lina clenched her fists tightly. The moment she saw them laughing, she was so jealous that she couldn’t feel the pain even when she broke her nails.
When she was 16 years old and Li Chenze was 21 years old, the Chen family planned for her to marry him. But who knew that when the Chen family went to Father Li to express their intention, they were rejected. The reason is that Li Chenmo is still too young and they cannot afford the betrothal gift.
Since they were rejected, her parents accepted Aunt Li’s proposal to marry her as her son’s wife. She loves Li Chenze and refuses to marry Li Sang. But her parents forced her to get married because of the high bride price they proposed. As a girl, she had no other choice but to marry Li Sang.
The night before the wedding, she went to Li Chenze and asked him if he had feelings for her. But when she finally found him, she saw him hugging Zhang Dongmei. It turns out that what he said to her family was just an excuse. He already has a girl he loves.
Heartbroken, she finally decided to marry Li Sang. Three years later, when Li Chenmo joined the army, Li Chenze proposed to the Zhang family and married Zhang Dongmei.
Years later, she still couldn’t forget that night. If she didn’t give up and insisted on marrying Li Chenze, would she be the one receiving his gentle care and enjoying a good life now?
It’s a pity that he has never spared her a look since they were young. She knew that all this was wishful thinking on her part, but there was nothing she could do about it. She couldn’t help but compare the man in his heart to her own husband. She couldn’t accept that she lost to Zhang Dongmei.
Although she is obviously more beautiful and smarter than her, why can she marry a man who is better than her husband? Why can Zhang Dongmei live a better life than she does? She also gave birth to twins, both boys! Why does Heaven treat her so unfairly? freewebnøvel.coɱ
After standing for a long time, she came back to her senses and found Li Jingxu staring at her. His eyes were so similar to his father’s, but there was nothing but coldness in those eyes. Just like the way his father looked at her back then.
