Chapter 1 (1/2)
”Now you are just a dragon swimming in shallow water. You will fly for nine days.”
”Before that, you must bear it. You must bear it. If you bear it, you will have a wide sky. If you bear it, no one can stop you anymore.”
”Promise me to bear it for yourself and for Qianxue...”
Jiangcheng, Nanshan cemetery
Ning Luo stood in front of the tomb of his father-in-law Lin Shanhe without saying a word.
Three years ago, the father-in-law's last words still echoed in his ears, as if it had happened yesterday.
After three years in the Lin family, he endured it for three years, making cattle and horses for the Lin family and living a life inferior to that of pigs and dogs.
If it weren't for Lin Shanhe's words, Ning Luo wouldn't still choose to stay after being humiliated and ridiculed.
Today, he finally waited for the day when he could see the blue sky through the clouds.
Behind Ning Luo, Wei Bo, an old slave of Ning family, knelt on one knee, with a pale face, trembling and frightened.
”Because of my mother, I was the superfluous member of Ning family since childhood. I tried my best to make myself excellent and please the old man. In the end, he was afraid that I would take my eldest brother's inheritance right and sent me to the land of near death to become a soldier. It was called experience. I endured it“
”Later, I was wronged in the army and expelled from the army. The old man said that he wanted to destroy his family, break off the relationship between his grandparents and grandchildren, and abandon me like my shoes, which I also endured“
”Three years ago, I joined the Lin family and suffered all kinds of humiliation. No one in the Ning family came to Jiangcheng to see me and say a warm word. I also endured it.”
”Now, his precious grandson has been killed and imprisoned, and his family has no support. He thinks of me as an abandoned son. What does he think of me? A dog that comes and goes on call? ”
”Go back and tell Ning Qianqiu that you want me to go back to Ning's house. When will there be a place for my mother in the ancestral hall of Ning family? My mother's tomb has been moved into Ning family cemetery. When will I go back? ”
”Before that, I'd rather be a loser!”
With a cold reply, Ning Luo turned and stepped out of the Nanshan cemetery.
……
The Lin family, a small family in Jiangcheng, is not second rate.
Three years ago, Ning Luo was driven out of the army like a dog. It was Lin Shanhe who brought him into the Lin family and betrothed his daughter Lin Qianxue to him. Who thought Lin Shanhe would die of illness two months later. On his deathbed, Lin Shanhe said that Ning Luo should endure humiliation and live in disgrace, which forced Lin Qianxue to swear not to divorce Ning Luo.
Since Lin Shanhe died, Ning Luo has no shield in the Lin family.
The Lin family vented all their grievances on him. Everyone thought that the existence of Ning Luo prevented Lin Qianxue from marrying into a rich family, and he hindered the rise of the Lin family.
In this regard, Ning Luo can only swallow the humiliation and bear the burden, and dare not have a complaint.
Because he knew that the day he was waiting for to turn over had not come yet.
It was eight o'clock in the evening when I came back from Nanshan cemetery. The lights on the streets were bright and neon.
The whole river city is hidden in a rain curtain, just like a pair of ink painting.
Back at the door of Lin's house, Ning Luo didn't enter the door. A cry rang out from behind. Before he could see who it was, a loud slap in the face directly hurt him.
”Zombie star, where are you dead? I can't find you everywhere. I don't answer the phone. Do you want to rebel? ”
Su Wanyi, her mother-in-law, is the most hostile person in the Lin family to Lin Qianxue's marriage to a loser.
At the moment, the latter's eyes were as sharp as two knives and wanted to cut Ning Luo alive.
”Mom, are you in such a hurry?”
”Yes, of course. I'll look for you, the lost star? The son of a bitch of Lin Shanhe doesn't know which tendon is wrong. He will let Qian Xue marry you. Today is Qian Xue's birthday. Do you know“
”Yes, Qianxue told me in the morning that she would celebrate her birthday with her friends in the evening. She specifically asked me not to go. I'll pick her up later.”
Ning Luo smiled miserably.
My wife's birthday, but my husband was ordered not to attend the birthday party. This is the saddest thing in life.
”Hum, you loser, it's better not to lose Qianxue's face!”
”What are you doing? Hurry to cook. You want to starve me to death.”
Su Wanyi glared at Ning Luo and angrily pushed the door into the house.
Now she is more and more disgusted to see Ningluo's submissive appearance.
Behind him, Ning Luo followed into the house without saying a word.
First she helped Su Wanyi wash her feet, then she went into the kitchen to cook dinner and brought it to the living room.
I hastily heated up a little in the kitchen and made do with yesterday's leftovers.
After su Wanyi finished eating, Ning Luo went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then went back to his room transformed from a sundry room in the basement.
After almost an hour of rest, I drove out the only old polo in my family again.
About half an hour later, the car stopped by the road in front of a private restaurant called pinshang.
Park the car. Ning Luo sat in the car and didn't get off. He just waited.
Around ten o'clock, a line of drunk men and women appeared in Ningluo's sight.
Ning Luo got out of the car and greeted him with a smile with an umbrella.
Today, Lin Qianxue is wearing a light pink chiffon dress. With her exquisite and graceful posture, she looks pure, gorgeous and particularly moving.
”Thousands of snow.”
”Why are you here? Who asked you to come?”
Suddenly he saw Ning Luo appear in front of him. The previous smile on Lin Qianxue's face suddenly converged, revealing a bit of impatience.
