The wife of two taels of silver

Lin Haitang glanced at the hand holding hers, expressionless, and raised her eyes to stare at Gu An, to see what he could say.

Gu An pursed his lips, still not letting go, and raised his other hand.

The bony fingers were placed on the pitch-black mask, forming a strong contrast between the cold and warm colors. Gu An's heart was slightly nervous, and he slowly took off the mask like a slow motion.

From the forehead to the corner of the eye, the upper right half of the face is almost covered with scars, and the scars around the eyes are even more terrifying, like a demon with a twisted face and roaring.

Lin Haitang's eyes moved, but other than that, there was no other expression and her face remained cold.

When Gu Chen saw his father like this, he was not afraid, but curious. He leaned out of his mother's arms and babbled, asking his father to hold him.

Gu An took the child over and Lin Haitang let go.

"Ah~ Ah~" Gu Chen's chubby little hand touched the scar on Gu An's face, tilted his head and looked at it for a while, then smiled with his eyes curved, and began to hug Gu An's face and rub it.

Gu An hugged Gu Chen, pulled open his sleeves, and looked at his wrist, which was indeed still bluish.

Gu An's eyes were filled with guilt. He gently kissed Gu Chen's red and blue wrist and whispered, "I'm sorry. I didn't know my strength would hurt him."

The moment Gu Chen wanted to pull off his mask, Gu An instinctively grabbed his wrist. He failed to control his strength at that moment, and then quickly reduced the force, but still hurt the child.

"Hmph," Lin Haitang snorted, crossed her arms and looked at him coldly: "He's your son, and he's still so young. How can he not be able to see what you look like? Why are you reacting so strongly? What can he do to you?"

"Gu An, if you want to be trapped in the past, just stay there and don't come out, but don't hurt your children. They have a natural worship and admiration for their father and they have done nothing wrong." Lin Haitang said seriously and stood up to leave.

With a soft sigh, Gu An took Lin Haitang's hand, tilted his head slightly, and said slowly: "Haitang, what do you want me to do?"

"I'm bored, so why would I care what you do?" Lin Haitang retorted quickly, "You can do whatever you want. Gu Chen loves you so much, so just hold on to him. If he loses even one more hair, I'll kick you out."

Lin Haitang took big strides forward, completely different from the Lin Haitang in Gu An's memory who walked with her head down and her waist bent, taking slow steps.

Gu An lowered his head dejectedly, feeling slightly bitter in his heart.

"Ah~" Gu Chen sat on Gu An's legs and sucked his fingers. His saliva flowed down his little hands and his neck was covered with his saliva.

Gu An wiped his hands clean, let him lie on his chest, patted him gently, and apologized in a low voice: "Baby, I'm sorry, Dad didn't mean to hurt you."

"Ah!" Gu Chen kicked his calf.

"Have you forgiven me?"

"Ahh!" Gu Chen kicked his legs again.

Lin Haitang was still angry while lying on the bed, tossing and turning. When she thought that Gu An would send Gu Chen over soon, her face became even darker.

In a fit of anger, Lin Haitang ran into the space and ran under the pomegranate tree.

This pomegranate tree was discovered by Lin Haitang in Shang'anhe Village. Today, when she went to visit the grave of her former mother-in-law, Lin Haitang asked Xiaobai to take her for a walk in the mountains, where she discovered this sturdy pomegranate tree.

Lin Haitang liked it very much as soon as she saw it, and brought the pomegranate tree into the space without saying a word.

Now the tree is full of big red pomegranates.

It was too high for Lin Haitang to reach. She looked around, moved a stool over, stepped on it and picked five or six pomegranates. When she couldn't hold them all with her hands, she lifted up her skirt and put the pomegranates in her pocket.

The pomegranate seeds were like rubies tightly packed together. Lin Haitang thought of the pomegranate wine she made in the 21st century, and her mouth was watering.

Lin Haitang did it right away. She peeled the pomegranate seeds and put them in a small bowl. She peeled a lot of them.

Lin Haitang forgot the time while staying in the space, and only hurried out of the space when he heard the sound.

Lin Haitang opened the door and outside was Gu An holding Gu Chen.

"Xiao Chen is asking to see you." Gu An was a little nervous when he spoke, his back a little stiff.

Lin Haitang smiled politely, picked up Gu Chen, and said with a fake smile: "Thank you for your help."

Gu An pursed his lips and said, "He is my son, I don't mind any trouble."

Lin Haitang turned around and was about to close the door. Gu An looked up at her and said, "Haitang, I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"

Seeing Lin Gu'an's puppy-like look asking for a pat on the head, Lin Haitang's heart softened. She said with a straight face, "Alright, just be careful not to hurt your son and daughter next time. Let's go."

With a snap, Lin Haitang closed the door.

Gu An looked at the closed door in front of him, his eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth curled up: So Lin Haitang likes him like this.

Gu An seemed to have found a way to prevent Lin Haitang from divorcing him.

Lin Haitang had a dream in her sleep.

In the dream, she and a man were lying on the green grass. There were many small wild flowers on the grass, colorful, which attracted many butterflies, flying around them.

In the dream, she was pale, resting her head on the man's chest, her face full of happy smiles. She heard herself say, "This life is so short. Can we still be together in the next life?"

She looked up and saw the man's jawline, and then looked up and saw Gu An's face.

In the dream, Gu An closed his eyes tightly and was no longer breathing.

Lin Haitang was instantly awakened, sat up in bed, gasping for breath, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

Lin Haitang covered her chest with her hands, frowning, and the intense heartache in her dream was brought to her in reality.

She felt so uncomfortable, as if there was a huge stone pressing down on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe. She was like a stranded fish, only able to jump up again and again, but to no avail.

Lin Haitang sat on the bed and could no longer fall asleep. Two voices suddenly appeared in her mind.

"You asked for it."

"You've always been you."

"You are my destined daughter-in-law."

……

The words of Liu Sanyou and the original mother-in-law kept circling in Lin Haitang's mind. Thinking about the dream she had tonight, Lin Haitang felt like her brain was about to explode.

The same situation happened to Gu An next door. He woke up from his dream with his lips tightly pursed. In the dream, he was already dead, but his soul was still guarding Lin Haitang.

"This life is so short, can we still be together in the next life?"

In the dream, he was looking at Lin Haitang tenderly in mid-air. Even though he knew that Lin Haitang couldn't hear him, he still answered, "Okay."

He was so affectionate in the dream, his love was overflowing, and he himself would feel palpitations when he saw it.

Gu An frowned, not knowing why he had such a dream.

Gu An admitted that he now had feelings for Lin Haitang, but it was just a good feeling. The reason he didn't want to divorce was because he didn't want his child to suffer.

Could I love someone so much? Gu An thought of himself in the dream, as if even giving his life to her was not enough.
