Chapter 314: Strength

When Qu Zhi first met Liang Wen, he was still a very romantic and delicate person.

Although he was a big and burly man, Qu Zhi always felt very happy when she was with him.

In Qu Zhi’s dreams, there would always be some memories of her days as a female worker in the weaving factory.

At that time, she was indeed good-looking. She had long arms and legs, was tall, had fair skin, and had exquisite facial features. When she walked on the road, people on the road would look at her more.

Later on, when she and Liang Wen were dating, everyone did not say anything on the surface, but they would still whisper a few words behind her back, “This Qu Zhi is like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung.”

Liang Wen was just a lousy part-timer in the neighboring factory. He had no education or money, and he looked shabby. Many of Qu Zhi’s suitors were handsome young men with bright eyes. Why did she fall for such a guy?

Liang Wen in her dream was still a very ignorant and innocent teenager. Although he was a little clumsy in expressing himself, he had always loved her in his own way.

He was indeed a poor young man, but he was willing to hand out flyers, give out newspapers, buy her flowers, and accompany her to the movies. Every day at noon, he would climb over the wall just to share the meat and vegetables in the lunch box with Qu Zhi.

Although he did look like a rough person, his heart was clean, so clean that Qu Zhi was very attracted to him.

When Qu Zhi was working, she would send all her money to Huang Qing, except for the money she needed to eat. Because Huang Qing said that she had already grown up by then and should take on the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother.

Of course, Qu Zhi did as she was told. Sometimes, even if she did not do well in a month, she would still give Huang Qing the same amount. She kept her belt tight and ate less every day. It was common for her to be dizzy from hunger.

Liang Wen was smart. He knew where this young lady’s money went and that her family was indeed not doing well. He did not say anything and just bought her more cookies every day.

Later on, when Liang Wen did slightly better. When his boss gave him a raise, Liang Wen would buy her some candied fruits.

At that time, candied fruit was a rare thing. Qu Zhi looked at the young man with sparkling eyes in front of her, and all kinds of emotions surged in her heart.

It seemed like she had never been loved properly. Her mother scolded her, her father pretended to be blind, and Liang Wen’s appearance was like a colorful ray of light that suddenly appeared in her gray world. It was so beautiful that it was a little unreal.

Although she was afraid and conflicted at first, Qu Zhi slowly accepted Liang

wen as a person.

As a boyfriend, he was gentle and meticulous. Qu Zhi felt herself falling in love with him bit by bit. This love was self-sacrifice for decades to come. She lowered herself to the ground because she believed he would love her forever.

Later on, when it came to marriage, this matter had no choice but to be exposed to Huang Qing’s ears.

Unfortunately, during Liang Wen’s time, the factory caught up with the wave of redundancy and the building collapsed.

However, their hearts did not waver.

If it collapsed, so be it. They were still young and had plenty of hope. Liang Wen could take a break during this period of time. When the time came, he would go to the big city of Jiang City to try his luck.

They returned to their hometown in Su City to meet their parents and discuss marriage.

“What’s there to talk about if you don’t have money?!” Huang Qing raised her eyebrows and almost pointed at Liang Wen’s nose, “Qu Zhi! I raised you for so many years, not to marry you off to a beggar!”

In the past, Qu Zhi didn’t dare to talk back at all, and she didn’t even say a word when she was beaten.

However, with Liang Wen by her side, she suddenly had strength. She stood up and faced the furious Huang Qing, “I’m not marrying anyone but him.” The dream realm suddenly changed at this moment.

Huang Qing carried Sisi in her arms and pulled Chuchu along as she walked out without looking back, “You don’t deserve to be a mother!”

No matter how much she cried and shouted, Chuchu Sisi was pulled by Huang Qing and didn’t turn back.

As she cried, Qu Zhi realized she was dreaming.

Liang Wen patted her back gently.

“It’s okay. At least you still have me.” Liang Wen hugged Qu Zhi tightly and caressed her hair, “I’ll always be by your side..”
