Chapter 1 is your husband
“Aci, your sister has been pampered since she was a child. She can’t lift a finger or carry anything. Sending her to the Northwest with the army will be the death of her.”
Wen Ci heard the crying in her ear and slowly opened her eyes. She frowned and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her, who was dressed in a bright and beautiful manner. There was also a tall man standing next to her.
The two look extremely alike.
You can tell at a glance that they are mother and son.
“I heard that the Huo family’s son is a military officer in the Northwest, and his salary is not low. You will definitely not suffer if you marry him. At least it will be better than you in the countryside.”
As Wen Ci listened to the man's earnest advice, countless images flooded her mind, and a chilling look appeared in her eyes.
She was a female warrior in the apocalypse. She had just finished killing all the zombies and was preparing to hold a victory celebration when a doomsday-level zombie broke in.
She shattered humanity's last hope and then transmigrated here. She possesses all the original owner's memories in her mind, and just now the original owner was angered to death.
Upon learning the reason why the original owner of this body died of anger, Wen Ci was also somewhat confused.
The original owner of this body also had the name Wen Ci, just like her.
Wen Ci was originally the daughter of the Jiang family, a wealthy family in the capital, but she was secretly replaced by the family's nanny with her own daughter and was taken to a poor rural area to be raised.
Wen Ci suffered a lot of grievances from a young age. When she was three years old, she took on the job of cooking and washing clothes at home. Her adoptive parents would beat and scold her at any time.
In the 1970s, girls were the least popular, and every family hoped to have a son to carry on the family line. Wen Ci thought she was a daughter.
It made my parents lose face in the team, and they had to swallow their anger.
Until the day Wen Ci turned eighteen, a tall and handsome man came to her door with a box of peach cakes and said that he was her biological brother!
They came to pick her up and take her home.
It was then that Wen Ci learned that her biological parents were city dwellers and children of high-ranking officials. She eagerly awaited meeting them.
result……
Just two days after I returned home, the Huo family, who were also from the same compound, came to propose marriage. They said it was an engagement arranged by their ancestors and could not be changed, and the man was serving in the army in the remote northwest region.
They will get married this month and he will join the army in the Northwest.
The Huo family wanted to marry Jiang Ye, who has fair skin and is the biological daughter of Wen Ci's adoptive parents, but she already had a boyfriend in high school.
Jiang's parents forced their daughter to break up with her, inadvertently revealing that she was not their biological daughter. Unable to bear their beloved daughter's constant crying, they finally stopped.
The Jiang family then set their sights on Wen Ci, wanting her to replace Jiang Ye in marrying Huo Jingyuan and joining the army in the Northwest to live a peaceful life there.
After Wen Ci learned the truth about being found.
He was so angry that he died.
Wen Ci sighed softly. If she were the original owner of this body, she would have chosen to abandon this weak kinship directly, instead of sacrificing herself...
Seeing that she was unmoved by his words, Jiang Chen frowned and adopted the tone of an older brother, no longer speaking kindly, and said, "You have no choice but to marry me today, whether you like it or not."
Upon hearing this, Wen Ci raised her eyes and glanced indifferently at the middle-aged woman in front of her, Su Guilan, the original owner's biological mother. After pondering for a few seconds, she said, "Do you really want me, your own daughter, to marry in place of my adopted daughter?"
Su Guilan's face showed worry. Jiang Ye and Wen Ci were like two equally precious children, one being her adopted daughter who had been pampered since childhood.
A biological child who was taken away.
No matter who it is, she wouldn't bear to marry her daughter off to a place like the Northwest where she would suffer.
but……
The marriage agreement with the Huo family was arranged by her elders, and she had no power to change it, so she could only choose one of two options: Jiang Ye's boyfriend was already a soon-to-be college student.
Now that the Huo family has fallen on hard times, the houses in the compound have been taken back. It's unclear what his specific position is in the Northwest, only that he is a military officer.
Although Wen Ci was his own flesh and blood.
But after all, she grew up in the countryside. Marrying Huo Jingyuan can be considered a good match.
Su Guilan looked at Wen Ci's face, but she didn't offer any reply.
But Wen Ci could see the choice her "biological mother" made from Su Guilan's eyes.
Wen Ci glanced around at the surroundings.
This is a teahouse located by Shichahai Lake. They are sitting in a private room on the third floor, with the shimmering Shichahai Lake visible through the window.
Shichahai is not really a sea; it's more like a lake.
Wen Ci pondered how long it would take to jump out of the window and swim to the other side.
"If you marry Huo Jingyuan, our Jiang family will not treat you unfairly. We will give you 1,000 yuan as dowry. You can use the money however you want."
It's important to know that the average wage for workers in Beijing in the 1970s was only around 60 yuan. The dowry given by the Jiang family could support an ordinary family for ten years.
But Wen Ci couldn't stop. She was completely absorbed in her calculations. After confirming that she had finished, she went to the window. Fortunately, it was springtime.
If it were winter, Wen Ci definitely wouldn't jump into Shichahai.
"Please, Mom's begging you, okay?"
As Ms. Su finished speaking, Wen Ci stepped out of the window and jumped into Shichahai Lake. With a "plop," many people on the street shouted.
"Someone jumped into the sea! Help! Someone's in danger!"
Wen Ci swam gracefully and soon reached the middle of Shichahai Lake. Hearing the voices of passersby, she couldn't help but purse her lips, making a fuss over nothing.
The man carrying a bag on the shore threw down his bag, took off his military uniform, and didn't even have time to look at the situation on the water.
It plunged suddenly into Shichahai Lake.
Huo Jingyuan swam to Wen Ci's side like an underwater swimmer, surfaced and hugged Wen Ci's waist. Wen Ci looked at the man with deep features in front of her.
She forgot to struggle and resist, her gaze fixed on the man, from whose rescue actions she could sense his tall and extremely strong physique.
The man's appearance can be described as stunning.
After Wen Ci was rescued and brought ashore, she took a closer look at the man's alluring abs under his white shirt, and couldn't help but drool.
"passing by?"
Huo Jingyuan's gaze was cold and clear. He had rescued the woman from Shichahai Lake and brought her to the shore. When he met her burning gaze, he realized that she could swim.
It's possible they didn't fall into the water, but were just swimming in Shichahai Lake.
At this moment, Jiang Chen rushed from the teahouse to the shore. He was both angry and worried, never expecting his own sister to have such a fiery temper.
He actually jumped into the sea! His brows furrowed tightly, and he scolded, "Is it really necessary to jump into the sea just because I'm sending you to the Northwest with the army?!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Jingyuan's gaze fell on Jiang Chen. Having both been from the same compound and met the Jiang family several times, he looked down at Wen Ci after withdrawing his gaze.
What did you just ask me?
"Huh?" Wen Ci blinked and repeated what she had just said: "You were just passing by?"
Huo Jingyuan curled his lips into a smile. The indifference he had previously displayed was like a snow-capped mountain that had never melted for a thousand years and an immortal who was devoid of emotion and desire.
As he slightly curved his lips into a smile, the snow-capped mountains melted away, and an immortal descended to earth.
Huo Jingyuan's voice was deep and powerful: "He is your husband."
