Chapter 808 -809 Marriage (End 10)_1

Shen Liangnian lowered his head without replying.

“I heard that the old house back home was bought back, was it you who bought it?”

“Yes.”

“Aren’t you in Jiangshan City? Why are you home now?”

Shen Liangnian smiled a little but gave no reply.

“Have you married Jing Haohao? Your father mentioned to me before, asking you to marry that girl Haohao.”

Haohao was to be married, but not to him.

Shen Liangnian felt a sour sensation in his eyes, his throat seemed blocked as he let out an unclear “mmm” sound.

Assuming that he meant he was married to Haohao, the Principal chatted away, “Don’t get mad for my talkativeness, your father was a close friend of mine. He always told me Haohao was a good girl. When your father was seriously ill and you were in high school in the county town, Haohao took care of him. I remember once in early spring, when the ice-snow were melting, Haohao was washing clothes by the river. A landslide occurred, throwing her into the river… If I and my son hadn’t passed by, she would have drowned. When she woke up, her first words were not to tell Mr. Shen and Liangnian… She almost lost her life for your Shen family. You must treat her well, or your father won’t be in peace even in his grave.”

Shen Liangnian felt a painful churning sensation in his stomach again.

He tried to keep a smile on his lips, bid farewell to the old Principal, and walked away alone. He didn’t return to the small town, but instead headed to the riverside.

Back then, the town didn’t have well water; everyone drank from the river.

In the hot summer, most of the men in the town would jump in to take a bath, while the women would sit on the rocks and wash clothes.

Over the years, the town has developed; every household now has tap water. And due to the pollution, the water in the river is no longer clear as it once was.

Shen Liangnian strolled along the riverside, sat down, and drew some water, which was already bone-chilling cold in autumn.

How did Haohao manage to wash clothes with such freezing water in spring when the snow had just melted?

No wonder, during the year when father was seriously ill, he returned to find Haohao’s hands covered in frostbite.

At that time, his father told him to be good to her.

Then he also thought that he would give her a better life in the future.

What is a ‘good life’?

What is considered a ‘good life’?

At that time, he just thought that money equals a good life. So, he worked hard to make money, strived relentlessly.

Finally, he could provide her with a good life, but they drifted apart.

It is often said that children who grow up in poverty mature early, endure worldly hardships, endure brute cruelties, thus, are tougher, and more ruthless than most people.

Indeed, this is the case, he was ruthlessly so.

Ruthless towards Qiao Wennuan, himself, but to Haohao, he had always kept a very gentle demeanor.

Otherwise, when she rushed to the hospital to see him, he wouldn’t have feigned to test her, causing the last bit of good feeling she had for him to vanish completely.
