Back to 1977: My Educated Youth Husband Abandoned Me to Return to the City for His First Love, Then Wept and Repented When We Met Again

After my fiancé was sent to the countryside, he secretly started seeing a village girl. When the educated youths were allowed to return to the city, he broke up with her without hesitation and turned around and married me. Later, he unexpectedly learned that his ex-girlfriend had died in childbirth from an amniotic fluid embolism. Lu Changqing spent the rest of his life consumed by guilt and regret, sunk in misery. He trapped me in a loveless marriage, letting me waste my life until I died young of an illness. On my deathbed, I told Lu Changqing, “If there's another life, I don't want to make the same mistake again.” Reborn in the spring of 1977, I changed my fate. This time, he gave up returning to the city, put down roots deep in the mountains, and chose to stay with Zhang Qiufang. And I quit my secure job to pursue the college entrance exam. More than a decade later, I went back to the countryside with a senior official on an inspection tour and ran into Lu Changqing again. He'd built a brick house, contracted some land, and had a whole brood of children with Chen Qiufang. Seeing that I was exhausted from the long journey and covered in dust, Lu Changqing sighed. “It's been more than a decade. You still haven't moved on? You're not young anymore. Just marry someone suitable.” He thought my discomfort with the local climate was because I was heartbroken. But the next day, a Mercedes-Benz came to pick me up and stopped at the entrance to the village. Lu Changqing collapsed to the ground in despair. “Didn't you once say that even if we tormented each other, you'd cling to me for the rest of your life?”
