A few nights ago, Xiao Fei and I were in the backyard. The two children went to grandma's house and we turned off the lights in front of them, pretending that no one was at home. Unexpectedly, around 10 o'clock, my husband suddenly returned. As soon as the light in the room lit up, we were startled. Xiao Fei jumped up and pulled me into the back of the backyard grape trellis. We hugged tightly together, afraid to breathe. When I woke up, I regretted it very much - if I didn't hide, it would be better. After settling my husband in, I could let Xiao Fei slip away. In this way, if both of them hide, there would be only one way to be discovered. Fortunately, my husband may have come back to collect the money and called me a few times. Seeing that I didn't answer, he closed the door and left.
Xiao Fei's face turned white with fear and he mentioned the elopement again. He said that if he doesn't leave now and the situation comes to light, my husband will have to kill him. I was also very nervous and felt that his words made sense. My husband is a very irritable person. Before getting married, he was even locked up for fighting and injuring others. In our area, he and his brothers dare not provoke anyone, and no one dares to compete with them for business. So, I promised Xiao Fei to make some preparations and go to Guangzhou together in August. However, my thoughts became more and more chaotic. Previously, when I saw my two sons who were always like dirty monkeys, their heads hurt. In recent days, I have been reluctant to part with them. I know that once I leave, I will never be able to return to this home. Perhaps I will also cause trouble for my family and Xiao Fei's family - my husband will not let them go. But if we don't leave, Xiao Fei and I will never be together, and I can't bear to think of this.
He doesn't look as fierce as other relatives
I know you will look down on me because I am an immoral woman. I betrayed my husband and got along with other men, and this man is still the son of my husband's uncle.
Actually, I have also tried to stop this relationship.
Three years ago, Xiao Fei and his father came to our house to settle down, and I was stunned to see him. The people in my husband's family, including his uncle, are all men with a rough and fierce appearance. But Xiao Fei is different, with low eyebrows and smooth eyes, white skin, and wearing a pair of glasses. It can be seen that my uncle doesn't like this son, always sarcastically calling him a "scholar". At dinner in the evening, my husband drank Baijiu with my cousin. After drinking a few cups, my cousin pointed to the son with chopsticks and said, "He can only burn my money. I don't know where it came from. I dare not drink even wine. It's like a coward!"! I was a little distressed when I heard that. When I saw Xiao Fei again, he just ate with his head down and didn't have any expression. At that time, my son, who was two years old and three years old, rubbed against him, pinching and twisting, and he remained silent.
I couldn't bear it, so I took the opportunity to ask him to serve the dishes and called him into the kitchen. I made some good chicken pieces and put them in his bowl. He whispered, 'Thank you, sister-in-law.'.
He stayed in Wuhan for five days and then went south with his father to work. Those days, he stayed at home like a girl, helping me with household chores and chatting with me. He told me that he is the third and youngest son in the family, and he is favored by his mother. His father asked him to drop out of school after graduating from junior high school, but he refused. He went to high school but didn't get into college, so his father never liked him.
I was a bit reluctant and relieved when he left. When he is at home, my heart always turns towards him. When I talk to him, I wish nobody appeared and didn't disturb us. If time goes by, I'm afraid I can't control myself.
At that time, I was 27 years old and he was 19 years old.
He became his husband's business assistant
In March this year, my husband told me that Xiao Fei was coming to Wuhan to work. I asked him what was going on, and he said that Xiao Fei was cheated by a girl while working in Guangzhou. The girl talked to him about friends and said that his father had cancer. Xiao Fei not only gave her all his savings for several years, but also stole thousands of yuan from his uncle. As soon as the girl left, there was no news. My uncle was so angry that he beat Xiao Fei to death. Xiao Fei himself was also disheartened, and for several days he didn't eat or drink, posing as if he had committed suicide. My cousin was still a bit worried and sent him back to his hometown. After my husband heard about this, he thought that he needed help in his business and wanted Xiao Fei to come to Wuhan.
I'm afraid I'll have wild thoughts and ask my husband to rearrange Xiao Fei's place of residence, not to let him live at home. The reason is that he does business and always socializes outside, making it inconvenient for unfamiliar men to live at home. Who knew my husband didn't understand my troubles at all, and even cursed loudly, saying that I didn't make money and wanted to instruct him, afraid that there would be more people in the family who needed to do more work. He was a lazy woman who only knew how to eat ready-made food, and even dared to despise his relatives... He was the kind of unreasonable man, and I couldn't reason with him.
My heart broke when I saw Xiao Fei. He was so thin that only bones were left, his gray face was listless. I saw my sister-in-law calling softly. After seeing him, I suddenly felt a little lucky: fortunately, my husband didn't agree to let him move out to live. He is so thin and living outside, he must have been hungry and full, and I don't know when he will recover his vitality.
At first, my husband just took him out to collect accounts, after all, he went to high school and calculated the income and expenses very quickly. After that, he brought the money back and his husband stayed there to eat with the people.
When I am alone with Xiao Fei, I always comfort him. I can see that he trusts me very much and tells me everything. One day I asked him if he had slept with that girl, and his face suddenly turned red. He whispered that the night he gave the money to the girl, she offered to have sex with him, but he didn't agree. I asked him why, and after thinking for a while, he blurted out a few words: I just don't think it's good.
He asked me how I got married to my husband, and I said that this marriage was done by my family. He nodded and let out a sudden realization. I asked him what he meant and asked him several times, but he said it hesitantly because he thought I was different from my husband.
After a tiring day, I feel very satisfied to be able to say a few words to my child after settling them down to bed. My life has never been so happy before.
He's taking me to elope out of town
At the end of May, my husband's older brother bought a batch of hardware and groceries at a low price, rented a house to stack, and asked Xiao Fei to take care of them.
He had only been there for a day, and I was completely lost. I didn't even know when the water was boiling, and I burned out the aluminum pot. The later it gets, the more I can't help but look at everything. The two children were mischievous again, and I beat them all up and sent them to bed early. Sitting watching TV, I couldn't get in and wanted to find Xiao Fei, but there was no reason.
After staying up all night, I lost sleep and the next day I felt dizzy. I struggled to get up and do some housework. In the middle of the morning, Xiao Fei appeared in front of me, saying there were mosquitoes over there and asking me for some mosquito repellent incense. I quickly found it for him, and he took it and left. Looking at his back, I wished I could catch up.
That day, I walked around like an ant on a hot pot, feeling like I couldn't control myself like a fever. At night, as soon as I gritted my teeth, I sent the child to my mother-in-law's house, saying that there was something wrong with her family. Just go find Xiao Fei.
When I saw him, he was sitting alone under the light under the eaves, staring blankly into the distance, without knowing what he was thinking. I had already walked into his sight, and he didn't notice either. I patted his shoulder before he realized and was pleasantly surprised to fall off the chair.
We started getting along from this day on.
Xiao Fei said that once our relationship is discovered, both of us will be dead. He has a friend who works in a shoe factory in Guangzhou and is also the workshop director. As long as I am willing, he will take me with him. He never talks to his family about friends, and no one will find his friends. If it weren't for my hesitation, we might already be in Guangzhou by now.
Where I live, there are many women who stay at home without doing anything, and they just chew their tongues every day. Sooner or later, the matter between Xiao Fei and me will also be seen by them. I dare not even think about what my husband will do to me. Should I elope with him earlier?
