On the day our neighbor, Uncle Shen, was laid to rest, my husband said he wanted to enter into a sham marriage with Uncle Shen’s daughter.
“Yao Yao needs to marry someone from the city if she wants to move back here.”
My husband looked at me, a little guilty, with a probing glint in his eyes.
“Su Su, we can’t forget that Uncle Shen saved Lu Yuan’s life back then. We have to help his daughter, so please try to understand.”
My father-in-law also tried to persuade me.
Seeing me lower my head and say nothing, my husband continued,
“Don’t worry. It’s just a marriage certificate. Once she’s settled here, they’ll get divorced.”
I knew my husband was devoted to those who had helped him, but what woman would be willing to watch her husband marry another woman?
As I hesitated, my seventeen-year-old son walked out of the room.
“Then why don’t I marry Aunt Yao?”
Everyone in the room froze.
Only I knew my son had been reborn and returned to save me.
