Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 713 - 688: Reflection (Extra Update)_2
"Liang Hongmei?" Liang Hongmei’s words hit Qiu Hualan’s heart directly, successfully provoking her. She lost control of her emotions and angrily slammed the table, standing up. "Who cares about your sympathy? I, Qiu Hualan, need your pity the least in this lifetime... Yes, I am jealous of you. Who told you to find a good man? Why? I am younger than you, my father is the village secretary, why do those men surround you all day? Why was I abandoned after happily finding a partner? While your man is devoted to a woman who doesn’t recognize a single character. Why do I, with a middle school level education, have to marry a drunkard? Why is heaven so unfair. Why..." Qiu Hualan let all the jealousy pent up inside her burst out, and as she spoke, she started crying. Eventually, she sadly covered her face and sobbed.
"These things, you shouldn’t ask me why, you should ask yourself. You are the one who did these things, you have a brain, have thoughts, no one forced you, everything was agreed upon by you. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself. Back then, Wu Guodong’s desire to leave the village was so obvious, no one in the village was blind, everyone knew, yet you still threw yourself at him, getting fooled by his few sweet words. You, a big girl unmarried, went to bed with a man, this can only be blamed on your own wrongdoing." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Stop making it sound so nice. After acting all holier-than-thou, I don’t believe you didn’t sleep with Lin Guozhi before marrying him."
Liang Hongmei gave her a disdainful look, firmly saying, "Although I didn’t go to school, my parents taught me the principles of a woman’s self-respect from a young age. Compared to you, a middle schooler, I’m more conservative."
"You..." To be honest, this surprised Qiu Hualan greatly. Back then, who among the village girls didn’t know that Liang Hongmei was always chasing after Lin Guozhi, just one step away from giving herself to him, thinking they definitely tasted the forbidden fruit.
"Wu Guodong was never a worthy person, he left, let him go. Life is long for a woman. Although your body isn’t clean anymore, it’s not impossible to marry well. There’s plenty of excellent men who lost their wives or are too poor to marry. The ones who cherish their wives are plentiful. You don’t need to worry about not finding a good one. But you... you admire vanity. Back then, many people proposed to you, some were good, but you only saw the superficial, taking a liking to Ye Weijun with his job in the brigade. You rushed to marry him as soon as you two agreed. After marriage, your life was poor, who can you blame? Aren’t these all paths you chose yourself!"
"Wuwu... yes, it’s all paths I chose myself, it’s all my fault for being arrogant, disregarding consequences. I regret it, but there’s no medicine for regret in the world. I want to go back but heaven doesn’t give me the chance... Those years, the village people’s gossip pressed down on me, making it hard to breathe, I hated them. If it weren’t for them dwelling on Wu Guodong’s incident every day, Ye Weijun wouldn’t have slowly begun to resent me. At most, after we got married, he’d be considered lazy and fond of drinking. The first few years after marriage, although not great, were bearable. Speaking of which, I got my retribution for hiding your letters. That day, I went to the village chief’s house to borrow something, just happened that Li Fugui wasn’t home, Li Xinghua helped me. When I went into their room, I accidentally saw a letter addressed to Liang Hongmei. At that time, I didn’t know who wrote it, besides Lin Guozhi who was away, there shouldn’t be anyone else, so I casually asked, did Lin Guozhi write again. Who knew Li Xinghua seemed not to know about this thing. She said no. I didn’t know why but when she wasn’t looking, I hid the letter. When I got home, I secretly opened it to look. Seeing the sweet words from Lin Guozhi for you, my heart burned with anger, jealousy unbearable. I got so angry that I nearly tore the letter inside, but I held back. I hid the letter. Later you didn’t hear from Lin Guozhi for a long time, so you went out to find him. Seeing how sad you looked when you came back, I couldn’t bear it in my heart, but I intended to return the letter to you. But after hearing the village gossip about you, I held back. Suddenly I felt, this was good, the village people had new topics to discuss, their eyes wouldn’t be all on me, and compared to me, you seemed worse off, at least I didn’t have a child with Wu Guodong, now I’m remarried. And you, you had two children for the educated youth, and even if you marry again later, it won’t be much better.
