The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1255 - 1259: The Promise (Part 7)
In the previous life, the original owner and Zhang Yang went hand in hand to hell, but the original owner died, and Zhang Yang was saved by Chen Rong. π§ππππΈπ¦π£πππ·ππ.π€π°π
After losing his beloved, he was heartbroken and in pain, even left for a foreign land, never mentioning again the thought of following his lover.
To speak positively, he couldnβt bear the piercing pain of losing a loved one, and more so, he was angry at all those who obstructed their love. But to put it bluntly, he was actually evading.
Evading responsibility, evading guilt and self-blame...
He was actually evading from the very beginning; his love was immature, inexperienced, and frivolous...
As he grew older and gained enough experience, looking back only prompted a sigh: destiny toys with people, there is fate but no portion...
If he had been his older self, he might have handled things more perfectly.
Ultimately, the two were deeply connected yet lightly destined, with a bit of mishap and misunderstanding.
The life of the original owner ultimately ended up as mere words in peopleβs mouths β reduced to a faint, cold remark.
The most painful of all were the parents and relatives whom the original owner never considered.
They were remorseful and self-blaming, even at the Su Familyβs parentsβ deathbed, they still carried the guilt.
The daughterβs departure was the enduring pain in their latter years, haunting them their entire lives.
Those things the original owner considered eternal were short-lived, so she regretted it...
Especially, since her departure led to unfavorable outcomes for her relatives.
In the previous life, the original ownerβs death caused the Su Family to grieve, but more than that, they were angry.
They blamed everything on Zhang Yang; had it not been for his seduction, how could their daughter end up like this?
It was Zhang Yang who proposed dying for love, but the real culprit remained alive while their precious girl, raised like a jewel, died, how could they accept that?
Clearly, troublemaker Zhang Yang had bad intentions, approaching with ill motives, but the person who should be punished remained unharmed.
How could the Su Family let it rest...
The longstanding feud between the Su and Zhang families turned into irreconcilable animosity, almost treating each other as mortal enemies.
If Zhang Yang hadnβt run so fast, the impulsive Second Brother Su might have made Zhang Yang pay with his life for Su Xiaomei.
Since they agreed to die together, how could he not keep the promise?
Su Familyβs disturbance, Zhang Family naturally wouldnβt take it lying down, the conflict between the two families escalated once more.
Zhang Yangβs attitude changed; initially, he tolerated the Su Family because of various reasons, but after Brother Su broke his motherβs head, he grew angry.
He vociferously cursed the Su Family, saying: "My love with Su Li is between us two, it has nothing to do with any of you, do not inflict these grudges upon my parents, if you must blame, blame me, I wronged her... but arenβt you responsible as well?"
"Now marriage emphasizes democracy and freedom, had you been more tolerant and understanding, we wouldnβt have ended up on that desperate path..."
Zhang Yangβs words were considered sophistry; a cultured individual speaking those lines left the Su Family, made up of simple folks, unable to retort.
Though clearly understanding it was not the case, their tongued-tied selves couldnβt rebut.
Especially with Zhang Yang making great progress, even village leaders persuaded them to let it go.
Even now, Zhang Yang remembered his feelings for Su Xiaomei without resentment, but with her gone, the increasingly shallow emotions wouldnβt last long.
Everyone saw it clearly, the Su Family understood too.
But... did their daughter just die in vain?
That night, Old Su fell ill from rage, and Second Brother Su, unable to swallow his anger, strapped a sickle to his waist and went to confront Zhang Yang.
During the altercation, the sickle in Second Brother Suβs hand grazed Zhang Yangβs hand, followed by the Zhang family, returning, who insisted on sending him to the police station.
Second Brother Su was made an example of and sentenced, such a promising youth, spent most of his life in prison.
After this incident, Zhang Yang became disillusioned... and gradually drew closer to Chen Rong, who had stayed by his side.
The Zhang family naturally wasnβt willing; even with Su Xiaomei being so pretty, they wouldnβt accept her, let alone Chen Rong.
But they dared not press Zhang Yang further...
In the previous life, Zhang Yang and Chen Rong married before love developed between them, gradually finding love...
As for the vibrant girl who died in memory, she eventually faded from his recollection, leaving only a faint sigh.
Sighing over the caprice of fate~
Su Li: To hell with capricious fate.
After the others left the shore, Su Li emerged from Jing Lake.
Her body dry and tidy, but her lips curled into a sinister smile, fearfully ghostly.
A pact with humans allows for repentance. A pact with the divine is witnessed by heaven and earth, and the contract is sealed, with no solution.
Su Li shook off the dew from her head, slowly walking back towards the Su Family.
-----------
Approaching the dawn, Second Brother Su, awakened by the urge to urinate, staggered up for relief.
His bleary eyes widened to the extreme upon seeing Su Xiaomeiβs wide-open door, suppressing his urge.
Second Brother Suβs yelling woke the entire Su Family, but before they could make sense of what happened, the village chiefβs wife rushed through the Su Familyβs door, her hair disheveled, coat over her shoulders.
"Your Su Xiaomei is in trouble...."
The whole village mobilized, searched for several hours until the sun rose, feeling the scorching heat on their skin, yet still found nothing.
Jing Lakeβs expanse was broad, with currents surging beneath, deeper areas that even skilled divers wouldnβt dare venture into.
The morningβs efforts by villagers yielded no results, the village chief shook his head, lamenting: "Su Xiaomei might be swept away by the currents, so much time has passed, itβs probably...."
Mrs. Su and Suβs eldest sister-in-law instantly collapsed onto the ground, while Su Familyβs men looked grim, unwilling to believe, "No, it couldnβt be, we need to see the body alive or dead. Without truly seeing our little sister, we wonβt give up."
"Iβm sorry, Iβm sorry, Su Li...."
Zhang Yangβs mournful voice became the outlet for the Su Familyβs bitter anger.
Second Brother Su rushed up with a few steps, punched Zhang Yang in the eye, adding a fresh wound on a yet-to-heal face.
No one noticed a flash of pain on Chen Rongβs face as she hid aside.
She quietly retreated a few steps, then turned and ran, heading towards Zhang Village.
