After the halo of the heroine was taken away, I was reborn

When Ji Lan heard Gu Jinyao's words, her original expression suddenly became dumbfounded. She ignored her and turned her eyes away.

Having been together under the same roof for more than a month, Gu Jinyao is very sure that Ji Lan is not crazy.

Maybe there is something wrong with her mental state, but it is definitely not to the extent that she is ignorant, unrecognizable, or has a confused memory.

Therefore, the way I lived in the Lu family before was mostly just an act.

Gu Jinyao couldn't understand why a good person pretended to be crazy. There were probably many stories involved.

Seeing that Ji Lan didn't say anything, Gu Jinyao stopped mentioning it and planned to go over and help Ji Shaobei.

Ji Shaobei didn't let her do it, so as not to stain her clothes later.

The two of them just talked at a distance, and it was Ji Lan who was talking.

The last time I went to the Lu family, I wanted Ji Lan's 200 yuan bride price back, so I wanted to take her to the city to see a doctor.

Ji Shaobei also took the time to go to the hospital to see a doctor this week. He would have to see a doctor for specific conditions.

After Ji Shaobei finished his work, he came out to change his clothes, washed briefly, and then asked Ji Lan, "Sister, when I go to the city tomorrow, would you like to come with me?"

Every time she mentioned this matter, Ji Lan would shake her head. If she was taken away by force, she would cry and hit her.

Ji Shaobei already had experience, so Ji Lan said he didn't want to go and didn't say much. He just said: "It's okay if you don't want to leave. I'll bring the doctor over next week to give you a look."

When Ji Lan heard this, her hands holding her sleeves tightened, causing her fingertips to turn white.

Ji Shaobei was pouring out the dirty water he had just used and didn't notice, but Gu Jinyao saw it.

What was Ji Lan thinking? She was addicted to pretending to be crazy and didn't want to be "good" at all?

Gu Jinyao felt that this matter was probably related to her former husband's family, so she asked Ji Shaobei about the situation back then.

Gu Jinyao was still young at that time, and Ji Lan's husband's family was far away from their village, so she knew nothing about those things.

When Ji Lan got married, Ji Shaobei had just joined the army and was training.

Communications were underdeveloped at that time, and two months had passed by the time he saw the letter from his brother.

By the time Ji Shaobei managed to get the leave and come back, half a year had passed.

At that time, he wanted to take Ji Lan back to Ji's house, but when he went to pick her up, Ji Lan didn't want to come back and said she was living a good life there.

At that time, Ji Shaobei didn't understand that it was not good to follow anyone, so why should he follow a fool.

He stayed there for a few days and saw that his idiot brother-in-law was really good to his sister and relied on her like a child. His sister also enjoyed it, so he accepted the marriage.

I just didn't expect that when we saw each other again, I would be crazy.

Gu Jinyao: "Is my sister's husband's family the same as the Wei family in Jiebian Village?"

Ji Shaobei nodded.

"I heard that the conditions of the Wei family are good."

Ji Shaobei: "The Wei family fool's father is a chef. He has been working as a chef in a state-owned hotel in the city for many years. His family background is quite good."

The father of the Wei family was actually a grain earner, but he did not take his wife and children to the city. It seems that the fool's son had a great influence on him, and he was afraid of losing face, so he stayed in the village.

"What's the name of the Wei family's idiot father?"

The cook named Wei always seemed familiar to Gu Jinyao.

Ji Shaobei: "My name is Wei Guang."

Wei Guang!

Gu Jinyao's mind flashed and he suddenly remembered.

This person is also mentioned in the book as a villain, a fellow villain who caused trouble for the heroine when she opened a hotel.

Wei Guang in the book also ran a hotel when the heroine made her fortune. He was very popular in the city and his business was booming.

It's just that this man was small-minded and arrogant, and he didn't want others to be better at cooking than him. After the heroine's hotel opened, the two fought for a while.

However, Ji Lan is not mentioned at all in the book, nor is his idiot son mentioned.

The world I live in is quite different from the one in the book. After all, there is no character Ji Lan in the book, and even Ji Shaobei is mentioned in a few strokes.

But in this real world, they are their relatives and indispensable existences.

The two mentioned Wei Guang, and a few steps away, Ji Lan's face turned pale.

In the evening, before dinner, Ji Shaobei took a bucket into the bathroom and took a shower.

Mengmeng was a little curious, so she asked Gu Jinyao, "I haven't gone to bed yet, uncle, do you want to take a shower?"

In her mind, washing involves getting up in the morning and going to bed at night.

Gu Jinyao was lighting the fire. When he heard this, he explained softly: "Uncle got dirty while working this afternoon. Wash it early to avoid the stench."

That's what he said, but Gu Jinyao knew it wasn't.

The man glanced at himself before going in. His eyes were fiery. He was thinking about the things he had agreed to do last night and wanted to clean himself up as soon as possible.

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Jinyao's face also felt a little hot.

Bathrooms in rural areas are usually connected to toilets. The more elegant ones put two bluestone slabs and draw a curtain. The more casual ones just stand next to the latrine and just wash up.

After all, people in the village don't have much time to bathe at home. When the weather is hot, they usually go to the river. When it's cold, they just wipe it, or they only wash it once every half a month.

The Ji family's bathroom is different. Not only is it paved with seamless stone slabs under the feet, but it is also separated from the toilet by half a wall and a door.

This was specially rebuilt by Ji Shaobei before his marriage.

Originally, he wanted to carve out a new area to build a bathroom, but time was too tight and there was no rush.

"Wow."

A ladle of hot water poured down from the head.

Ji Shaobei wiped his face and rubbed soap on his head, then his arms, and his broad chest with bullet holes and scars.

If a man takes a bath quickly, the bucket of water will be full to the bottom in a short time.

Ji Shaobei dried his body with a towel and took the white shirt hanging on the wall.

He had brought this shirt back from the army and had worn it for two years. There was still a trace of stitching on the arm.

That spot was cut open by a dagger.

After buttoning his shirt, Ji Shaobei wiped the half-length mirror attached to the wall with his hand.

He stared at his own appearance in the mirror. Within half a year, his hair had grown longer and his face had turned white. The scar on his left face became more and more obvious.

Ji Shaobei came closer and rubbed the centipede-like scar with his right hand.

Two years have passed. Compared with the beginning, it is much smaller and lighter. It feels soft and not much different from the skin elsewhere, but the bulging traces are still there.

Whenever he touches this scar, he will think of many things and people from the past.

During that mission, half of the twelve brothers were lost.

When he woke up from the hospital and learned that so many people had not been able to leave the village, he really wanted to kill himself with a gun.

Everyone is trying to persuade and comfort me, but those people are too cunning.

But he can't pass his level...

Recalling this, Ji Shaobei clenched his fists, and he had an impulse to smash himself in the mirror.

But he can't.

This mirror was prepared by him for Gu Jinyao.

He still clearly remembers the scene when he returned to the village to recuperate after that mission and met her on the boat.

She said: "Ji Shaobei, you are on vacation!"

"Ah, I'm hurt."

"Don't hide, it's not ugly. This is a hero's medal..."
