Countdown to Awakening

Old Man Xu sneered and replied, "Call the police on me? I've never heard of a woman calling the police on her husband! If you dare, I'll break your legs! You're a girl, why are you studying? You might as well stay at home and carry on my family line. You're a college student anyway, so what's wrong with changing my family's genes? You're not worthy of me... Humph!"

He continued to approach Zhuang Meng, and the evil in his heart slowly emerged...

Then he pounced on Zhuang Meng...

"Ah! Bastard, get out of here!!"

-

After a while, Xu's mother arrived at Huang Ping's house.

Huang Ping was a little surprised when she heard that Old Man Xu had found a wife. How could such a man have a wife?

But on the surface she still had to pretend to congratulate him, after all, she still had to earn the money.

Then she squinted her eyes, counting on her fingers as if searching for inspiration, and said, "Oh, this is incredible! In two days, it will be an auspicious day for marriage! Your son is so lucky! God has arranged for him to get married... When the time comes, you must prepare several tables of banquets..."

After hearing this, Xu's mother thought, "Isn't this exactly what she wants?" She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, and the joy in her heart could no longer be suppressed...

Didn't she say her son couldn't find a wife? This time, she was going to give those people a slap in the face!

After a brief chat, Xu's mother and Huang Ping decided to go home.

-

When she returned home, she saw the door of the cowshed was half-open. She had a hunch but was not sure...

Xu's mother rushed into the cowshed—just as she expected...

What caught my eye was the messy hay on the ground. Zhuang Meng lay in a corner, disheveled, looking half dead. There were strangulation marks on her neck. Her face was covered in lingering tears, and her hair was disheveled.

……

The pile of hay beneath her had a touch of bright red...

Even though she was standing at the door, Zhuang Meng didn't turn around to look at her.

Xu's mother covered her mouth. Although she had expected this scene, she was still a little shocked...

Then she hurried out of the cowshed and closed the door.

After calming herself down, Xu's mother strode into the house.

Looking at her son lying on the bed with a look of enjoyment on his face, she was speechless for a long time.

Old Man Xu looked at her.

"Mom, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Oh, you already know everything. I did that to her. I haven't touched a woman in years. Why can't I touch her since she's my future wife?"

“You…you are so outrageous!!”

"Mom, your son hasn't touched a woman for so many years. Isn't that what you meant by giving me the key? After I did that, I have to say, I feel motivated to do anything..." Old man Xu boasted.

Seeing his mother remained silent, Old Man Xu added, "Mom, you don't know how vicious this woman is. Look at how she scratched me. My neck is covered in wounds, and my face is also covered in wounds..."

As he spoke, Old Man Xu sat up and touched the wound on his face.

"Mom, you're right, that girl is still a virgin... This money was not wasted..."

While Old Man Xu was still immersed in his joy, his mother suddenly said, "Why didn't you close the door? If that woman runs away, it will be the end... You won't be able to find a wife, and the whole village will know about it... If she runs away, where can I find another one for you? I spent 3,000 yuan to buy this girl from Ma Hui, and it almost bankrupted me. If she runs away, I wonder how you can continue the family line..."

Old Man Xu lazily replied, "Why are you worried, mother? Look, I opened the door and she ran away. I knew she wouldn't run away, so I dared to open the door... Why are you making such a fuss? Hurry up and arrange a marriage for me. What date did Huang Ping mention?"

"It'll only be in two days. Don't worry. I haven't prepared the clothes yet. Mom happens to have a set of clothes that I wore when I married your father. They're bright red. I'll take out the red cloth from the bottom of the box and use it as a veil when the time comes."

"Mom, isn't this all your fault? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been married for so long."

Xu's mother sighed repeatedly and said helplessly, "If you want to blame someone, blame your father for dying early. Alas, so many people in the village looked down on us. Now that you have married such a good wife, won't the whole village look up to you..."

……

Over the next two days, the Xu family's mother and son busied themselves with arranging Old Man Xu's wedding. Zhuang Meng, on the other hand, seemed completely forgotten in the cowshed.
