In fact, the original owner's parents also supported her to remarry, but under such circumstances, the original owner refused. On the one hand, she did have feelings for her husband, and on the other hand, her parents-in-law were kind, and her husband was their only son, so she was really worried.

The original owner had been a widow for so many years and had actually given up her feelings for her husband long ago, more because of her parents-in-law. When she learned that her husband was still alive, her first reaction was not about the grievances she had suffered over the years, but about wanting the other party to give an explanation and apologize to her parents-in-law.

Su Tong tried hard to recall the original owner's husband. His name was Wang Xiangyang. Perhaps because it was a long time ago, in the original owner's memory, he was a young man with a relatively introverted personality.

The other party would bring the original owner a comb or a hair flower when he went to politics. There was affection between the two of them, but unfortunately, this friendship did not last long. War came and the original owner was conscripted away.

Su Tong wanted to find someone now, but the time was not right. It was 1948 now. Even after 1949, the world outside was still a little chaotic, so he still had to wait.

The original family lived in a remote village. When the Japanese invaded, they had carried out several raids, during which many people were killed or injured. However, this family survived safely.

Due to recent natural disasters and man-made disasters, the harvest has not been good, and the family now only has one meal a day.

The Wang family was doing well in the early years. They had several acres of land, and my father-in-law was skilled in weaving baskets, which he could sell for some money every time.

However, due to the wars in recent years and the unrest in the county, my father-in-law stopped doing business. He mostly made some things and kept them at home. He would sell them if someone wanted to buy them, or he would sell them directly to a carpenter's shop.

The only thing Su Tong felt fortunate about was that his family had no money. If they had become a landlord family, the next few years would have been difficult. Even his husband's family was poor, relying on the harvest from the land to survive every year. His brothers also had to go out to find work and barely make ends meet.

Su Tong was also very grateful that because his family was poor, he did not have to bind his feet. However, his mother-in-law had bound feet when she was young, and even after the binding was untied, she still walked with a limp.

We now eat two meals a day at home. The morning and lunch are eaten together, but the morning meal is around 10 o'clock, and the afternoon meal is eaten at four or five o'clock.

But there was nothing delicious about it. It was just cornmeal steamed buns with some wild vegetables, a pot of porridge, and two pickles. It was the simplest meal.

In such a chaotic time, being able to eat a meal is already a rare opportunity. Su Tong had no room to complain. Seeing that the time had come, he rolled up his sleeves and began to prepare lunch.

My parents-in-law went to the fields to weed and they probably wouldn't be back until noon. After I finished cooking, I still had to take care of the hens. The most valuable things in the house were the five hens, one rooster, and a piglet in the pigpen.

After finishing his work, Su Tong took his own and his parents-in-law's dirty clothes and carried a basin to the river. The original owner's husband had been captured four years ago. In the past two years, he asked someone to wear a mask and tell him where he was. Later, a fellow villager brought a message saying that he was seriously injured, but there was no news after that.

Everyone in the village believed that the original owner's husband had passed away, mainly because it was normal for people to die during wartime. Some people also began to persuade Su Tong to remarry. After all, it would be okay to remarry while she was still young and had no children.

Just as Su Tong put down his wooden basin, Aunt Wang came over and said, "Madam Su, you are still young. Don't keep waiting for some vague news. Besides, your husband has been away for four years. If he could really come back, he would have come back to find you a long time ago instead of having no news until now.

Not to mention that she was seriously injured before, she might have died a long time ago... Well, women only have a few years of life anyway, and you don’t have any children now. Your parents-in-law also support you to remarry, so why not find another one?

If you're worried about your parents-in-law, there's a man named He in our village. His wife passed away two years ago, leaving behind a son and a daughter. After you marry him, we can live in the same village and help each other. It would be a great opportunity."

Su Tong shook her head and said, "Sister Wang, you don't have to persuade me anymore. Besides, just because I haven't heard from my husband, it doesn't mean he's dead.

People say that a good woman won't marry a second husband. It's impossible for me, a married woman, to be involved with another man. I'm not the ancient Pan Jinlian.

Aunt Wang sighed, "Ah, Madam Su, I really don't mean anything else. I think you are a good woman, and I really want you to live a good life in the second half of your life.

Anyway, think carefully about what I said. Even if you get married, the world can't blame you, not to mention that you stayed with your father for so long. The main thing is that during this chaotic war, are you sure your husband is really alive? "

Su Tong lowered his head, but his attitude was very firm. Aunt Wang had no choice but to stand up.

"That Brother He is also a good man. When his wife was sick before, Brother He was busy taking care of her and even paid for a doctor. But it was really his wife who was unlucky and passed away early.

Now there are two children in the family, and my eldest brother is a grown man, so it is inevitable that he is careless and cannot take good care of the two children. Thinking about how you are careful in daily life and have been taking care of your parents-in-law, you must be kind-hearted and can definitely take good care of the two children.

This is just two unfortunate people living together, so you should think more about yourself."

Wang Dazui left after he finished speaking. Su Tong really had no intention of getting married, but after finding the original owner's husband, Wang Xiangyang, what should she do? If she returned to her parents' home, she would eventually have to get married, so she had to take advantage of this time to quickly become independent and self-reliant, and not let others control her life.

Su Tong hung the washed clothes on the bamboo poles, and the old couple came back carrying hoes. The reason why the original owner had been serving her parents-in-law was that they really treated her like a daughter. Most of the time, they let her stay at home and do some easy work. The money the old couple earned was given to her for safekeeping, and even said that she was the head of the family.

Su Tong had initially doubted the original owner's thoughts. How could there be such good parents-in-law in this world? But after seeing the scenes in his memory, he realized that the other party was really good. Why did the original ancestor refuse to remarry this time? Having such good parents-in-law is simply a blessing from a previous life.

"Tongtong, Aunt Wang also approached us a while ago, but I didn't dare agree to it. After all, this is your lifelong event.

But whether you like it or not, you still have to think about how old your father-in-law and I are. There's still no news about Xiangyang. If you really meet the right person, just marry him. Don't waste your whole life on Xiangyang. It's really not worth it."
