Li Fugui, having been yelled at by Xiaoxiao, was crouched in the corner, hands covering his head, motionless.
After a long while, he finally stood up. His eyes cleared, but there was added sadness in them. He remembered everything now.
Xiaotian had given him the best she had to offer, and to avoid burdening him, chose to leave without saying goodbye.
But what had he himself done after Xiaotian had left? He had mistaken another woman for her, albeit only for two short days, but he felt that he had failed Xiaotian and had to leave this place.
He began packing up his meager possessions; he was going to find his Xiaotian.
Yang Dong, seeing Li Fugui , wasn’t sure what to do. What illness had this man succumbed to now?
As he was thinking this, he saw Li Fugui exit the house. This was trouble. His sister-in-law had asked him to keep an eye on him. "Where are you going?"
Li Fugui didn’t answer and headed straight for the main gate. Yang Dong panicked and hurriedly shouted toward the Main House, "Sister-in-law, it’s bad, Li Fugui has left."
The family, upon hearing Yang Dong’s shout, quickly went out to pursue him. In this cold weather, where could he go alone? Besides, only he knew about Yang Xia’s situation. They couldn’t let him leave!
"Li Fugui, come back!" Xiaoxiao shouted after stepping outside.
But Li Fugui didn’t listen at all, he continued walking forward without turning his head. He had to leave immediately. How could he face that person named Yang Qiu? That was Yang Ming’s sister.
"Big brother, second brother, restrain him and bring him back inside." Seeing how resolute Li Fugui was, Xiaoxiao had no choice but to be tough. There was no reasoning with someone acting like a patient.
"... " When Li Fugui heard Xiaoxiao’s order, he thought to himself how fierce Yang Ming’s wife was; she had just slapped him twice.
Right, he had been too hasty earlier and forgot to take back the chain from Yang Qiu. That was the only thing Xiaotian had left him.
He turned around and was just about to head back when Yang Ming’s two brothers picked him up together. He struggled. This family was all the same, all so violent. "Put me down; I can walk on my own."
But Yang Chun and Yang Gang didn’t listen to Li Fugui’s words at all. Thinking he was still ill, they followed their younger sister-in-law’s order and carried him back inside.
Li Fugui, set down again, looked at everyone in the room and also saw Yang Qiu, the person he had mistaken for someone else. He didn’t want to face her, but he had to. He motioned with his hand, asking for the object, "Give me back the chain."
"It’s the only thing Xiaotian left for me."
"... " What was going on? Li Fugui was speaking to Yang Qiu with a cold tone, a tone that was no longer the caring one from before. Was he no longer mistaking Yang Qiu for Xiaotian?
Could it be that he had come to his senses? Xiaoxiao voiced her thoughts, "Li Fugui, are you well now?"
"... " The family hadn’t expected that Li Fugui would come to his senses from Xiaoxiao’s beating and yelling, a fortunate mistake that accomplished good.
Seeing that Yang Qiu was unresponsive, Li Fugui bowed towards her, "I’m sorry, I mistook you for someone else these past two days. I only have Xiaotian in my heart, and I am very sorry for the trouble I caused you."
Seeing Li Fugui , Yang Qiu displayed a radiant smile. "My sister really didn’t see the wrong person, brother-in-law."
"... " Upon hearing this "brother-in-law," Li Fugui suddenly looked up. Brother-in-law? Was she addressing him?
