Chapter 2290 A Story
Gu Xin smiled: "Sometimes fate is really helpless. I heard about a story of changing one's fate against heaven. Do you want to hear it?"
Several people looked at Gu Xin.
Gu En said: "Third sister, I can't have not heard the stories you have heard! It seems that I have not heard any stories of changing one's fate against heaven!"
Gu Xin said: "I have heard so many stories in the two years in the West. Can I tell you one by one?"
Gu En: "Uh...Okay, third sister, you tell me."
Gu Xin began to tell a story she heard in the West.
In the West, the customs are more open than in the Great Zhou. Men can marry wives and concubines, and women will never have any rumors if they divorce and remarry.
The story is about a very loving couple. The two are married and have a deep relationship, but they have never had children.
The wife thought it was her own problem, and the husband also thought it was his own problem, but neither of them went to see a doctor.
Until the age of 26, some changes happened in the family. The husband could not be at home often. He had to travel to various countries in the West to do business, and the family business was handed over to his wife.
At this time, the wife met a clerk who came to her heart.
Because the couple had a small conflict over the child in the past two years, although it was not to the point of divorce, the wife was very tired.
Before the husband left, the two had a big fight over the child.
When they were not reconciled, they separated because of family matters, and the wife was still unhappy.
The new clerk in the store was younger than the wife. He was a reserved and shy person, but he was tall and kind. In the West, where most men were very rough in character and appearance, this clerk seemed a little outstanding.
When the wife was guarding the store, the clerk was also there.
At first, the two did not talk much, and they talked about the store.
Later, one time, the wife drank too much in the store. When the store closed, the wife had not left yet. It happened that the clerk lived in the backyard of the store.
Knowing his identity, the clerk did not help his wife into the house, but cooked a bowl of sobering soup and brought it over, sitting next to her and gently waking her up.
Unable to wake her up, he patted her.
The wife was a person who hated the touch of all men except her husband, but on this day, the clerk slapped her, and she did not show any disgust.
After she woke up, she drank the hangover soup, thanked him and went home.
Nothing happened that night, and the wife did not notice that she was not disgusted by the clerk's touch. She was still immersed in sadness.
This time, her husband had been away for several days, and no letter was sent back. She was worried and angry, so she started to quit drinking again.
One day, the wife was drunk and even the hangover soup did not work.
The weather in Xidi is often hot during the day and cold at night. The clerk was worried that his wife would get sick because of the cold, so he carried his wife to the room in the backyard of the store.
There was a special room for the wife and husband to take a nap when they were in the store during the day.
The clerk behaved very well, covering the quilt for the man and then came out.
The next morning, when the wife woke up, she found food on the bedside. It was not the beef or mutton that she hated, nor was it heavy meat or fishy food. Instead, it was very simple and plain green food.
