Jiang Xiaoli's current husband had vanished without a trace, ignoring calls and messages. Anyone with a bit of sense could tell that something had changed. The old woman lamented, "I knew Pretty Boy couldn't be trusted; he's unreliable!"
In the family photo, the portly old man was her late husband and also his former superior. The two had a murky history at work. It was said that after a certain meeting, they had a real confrontation in the conference room, forgetting to turn off the camera... Fortunately, since the man was the head of the unit, he managed to suppress the incident; otherwise, both would have been ruined.
After Jiang Xiaoli's father passed away, Jiang Mother desperately pursued and flattered this old flame. A significant portion of the over one million they took from us was funneled to support this old flame's son: buying houses and cars... Not to mention, to please her lover, she even sold her own house for cash.
She always believed I had cancer and tried hard to persuade her daughter to abandon me, while Jiang Xiaoli turned around and threw herself into the arms of that Pretty Boy with the surname Jia. I went to Dr. Jiang, crying and begging her to save my wife, but my goodwill was treated like dirt by this mother-daughter duo.
True love is mutual effort; one-sided devotion is just torment. Perhaps Jiang Xiaoli married me as a stopgap; this stunning woman never truly loved me. Only when the belt is lost does one understand what dependence means.
The old woman's old flame never even got a marriage certificate with her. Now that their lives had turned into a mess, he washed his hands of them completely. Jiang Xiaoli's new husband, Four-Eyed Pretty Boy, quietly left the country again, but this time he took their child with him, leaving nothing behind for the mother and daughter.
As for the child in Jiang Xiaoli's womb, he didn't care at all because the doctor said that given Jiang Xiaoli's condition, the child would likely inherit Liver Disease... Jiang Xiaoli's illness had progressed to an advanced stage and deteriorated rapidly due to a lack of timely intervention and treatment.
Jiang Xiaoli's mother repeatedly came to me: "Sell the house quickly; my daughter needs money to save her life!" When I remained unmoved, she tried another approach: "Well, since my daughter is already in this state, let's not talk about her. I'm old; you just need to take care of me!"
Seeing that I wouldn't agree, she clung to my house, throwing tantrums and making a scene. My New Cohabiting Girlfriend was exasperated: "I applied for annual leave at work; let's go travel together!"
I opposed it: "Since you're not working anyway, you might as well take me to meet your parents so they can check me out. It’s better than them being dissatisfied later when we’ve already made things serious!"
"Bah! Smooth talker!" she retorted before adding, "I've told them about your situation; they think you're a reliable person!"
Reliable people are rare in today's society!
We boarded the train heading north together. In Hulunbuir Grassland, her parents warmly welcomed me as their new son-in-law with freshly slaughtered lamb and large bowls of mare's milk...
There was one more thing I hadn't anticipated: the seemingly delicate Dr. Jiang had a striking presence when riding a magnificent horse.
Later on, Dr. Jiang's colleague informed her that her husband's ex-wife's health was deteriorating, and she had fallen into depression. Her husband's former mother-in-law was pursuing her old flame for the substantial funds she had given them, even taking the matter to court.
I deposited fifty thousand yuan into Jiang Xiaoli's hospital account. After all, we had lived together for seven years. Little did I know that this would anger her mother. The old woman confronted me, shouting and scolding, "She's practically on her deathbed! Why are you spending money on her? I'm still healthy, and you should take care of me! Once you marry Xiao Jiang, I can help you with the kids and cooking..."
With no other option, we decided to put our house on the market, available for both rent and sale.
Then I heard that Jiang Xiaoli had managed to crawl to the window of her hospital room, using the IV stand to shatter the glass before jumping out! But she forgot she was on the first floor.
The old lady went to stir up trouble at her daughter's old flame's house. When his family tried to kick her out, the prepared woman crazily pulled out a forty-centimeter-long fruit knife, injuring not only her former partner but also his granddaughter. The Hat Uncle had to take her away to a small dark room.
Frightened by the chaos, the former partner's family sent two hundred thousand yuan to the hospital, only for the mentally shattered Jiang Xiaoli to tear the money into tiny pieces.
That night, Dr. Jiang held me as she recounted these events. I embraced her in return and said, "Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth; let's just live our lives well!"
(The End)
