Gu Dong didn't sleep the whole night. He just dozed off for a while when it was almost four o'clock in the morning. When he finally fell asleep, he had another nightmare.

In the dream, Gao was dressed beautifully and charmingly. He had never seen his wife so beautiful. In the dream, Gao ignored the cries of her children and his attempts to keep her, and followed a man away.

"Wife, wife, come back!" Gu Dong shouted anxiously. He struggled to sit up and then he realized it was just a dream.

This dream was so real that he broke out in a cold sweat in the cold weather. The two kids turned over and went back to sleep.

Gu Dong wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up, opened the curtains and looked out. Although it was not yet dawn, he could hear roosters crowing in the distance and knew that dawn would soon be approaching.

Thinking that his wife did not come back last night and had no idea where she was now, Gu Dong put on his coat and prepared to go out to look for Gao.

As soon as he opened the door, a gust of cold wind rushed into the house. Gu Dong shivered and hurried back to the house to put on more clothes.

Thinking about where his wife was and whether she was being left out in the cold, Gu Dong became even more anxious.

As they walked, the sky gradually brightened, but there was still no sign of Gao. Gu Dong couldn't help but get anxious. He had looked for her in every corner where she could hide, so where could she be?

At this time, some villagers got up one after another, smoke began to float out of many chimneys, and a woman came towards them.

He was carrying a load of buckets, probably going to fetch water. When he saw Gu Dong, he took the initiative to come up to him and greet him.

"Gudong, what are you doing? Why are you here so early?"

When Gu Dong saw that it was Aunt Dong Hua, he immediately forced out a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "It turned out to be Aunt Donggua. I want to go see the village chief for something."

Gu Dong had made up his mind. If he still couldn't find Gao, he would have to go find the village chief.

Hearing what he said, Aunt Winter Melon became excited. She opened her eyes wide and asked, "What's the matter? Your wife hasn't forgiven you yet? Yesterday I saw her with red eyes by the river. Tell her to go home early and explain everything!"

"What! What did you say, Aunt Gehua? Where did you see my wife yesterday?" Gu Dong's pupils shrank and he said loudly.

Hearing Gu Dong's excited expression, Aunt Donghua was shocked and wondered if something had happened to Gao.

"I saw her sitting by the river before dark yesterday! What? Didn't she go home last night?" As soon as Aunt Donghua finished speaking, Gu Dong ran towards the river.

Seeing him like this, Aunt Donghua seemed to have guessed something and realized the seriousness of the matter. She quickly put down the bucket and followed Gudong.

"Wife, don't do anything stupid! Don't abandon me and our two kids!" Gu Dong shouted in his heart as he walked.

He really hated himself. Why didn't he follow her out yesterday? Why did he only listen to his mother and ignore her?

The river was only a few hundred meters away from the village. Gu Dong ran to the river in a short while, but there was no one there.

Aunt Donghua came up breathlessly. "Gudong, your wife was sitting there yesterday!" Aunt Donggua pointed to a stone in front.

Gu Dong hurried forward to check, and suddenly something on the stone caught his attention. It was the wooden hairpin he gave to his wife. Gu Dong quickly picked it up.

"Wife, where are you? Come back soon, we can talk it out." Gu Dong was anxious.

There was no place to hide by the river. Looking at the bottomless river, Gu Dong's heart trembled and an ominous premonition arose.

Could it be that my wife was so depressed that she threw herself into the river? Thinking of this, Gu Dong felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.

"Your wife really didn't go home last night!" Aunt Donghua stamped her feet: "Oh, it's my fault too. Why didn't I take her home with me last night!"

"I want to find my wife!"

As he was talking, Gu Dong wanted to find a place to go down, but Aunt Dong Hua grabbed him and said anxiously, "What's wrong with you, kid? If you go down like this and something happens to you, what will happen to your mother and the two kids?

Besides, seeing this wooden hairpin doesn’t mean that your wife is in trouble. Maybe she has come to her senses and is now at home! Go back and look for her. If that doesn’t work, we can go find the village chief.”

Aunt Donghua's words reminded Gu Dong, and he quickly turned around and ran back.

Seeing him walk back, Aunt Donghua finally breathed a sigh of relief. What a sin! If anything happened to Gao, she would never have peace in her life.

……

Gao had just woken up. She didn't know that Gu Dong thought something had happened to her, so she changed her sleeping place last night. Plus, she had something on her mind, so she fell asleep very late.

In the past, when I went to work every day, my biological clock was almost the same, so I woke up at this time.

Gao was thinking about getting up to make breakfast, but as soon as she got out of bed, she realized that she was at Widow Wu's house! She smiled bitterly!

I was planning to do something with my hair, and just as I touched my hair, I realized that the wooden hairpin was missing.

After thinking about it, I remembered that yesterday when I was sitting by the river, I was thinking about something and I pulled off the wooden hairpin that the head of the family gave me, and then I put it on the stone.

"Look at my poor memory!" Gao smiled bitterly and looked at the room carefully. This was probably the room of widow Wu's daughter, Liu Qian. Although the room was small, it was decorated quite warmly.

There was not much furnishing in the room except a bed and a small cabinet. The adobe wall next to the bed was covered with rough paper.

The bed had pink quilt cover and small pillow, and even the quilt underneath was pink. The cotton inside the quilt was also soft and warm. It was obvious that Widow Wu loved her daughter very much and was willing to give her all the good things.

Although they were from the same village, Gao had never been to Widow Wu's house.

In the past, when they met, they would just nod and say hello. Later, when they all worked in the same workshop, they became more familiar with each other.

However, in Gao's eyes, Widow Wu had a bad reputation before. She liked to flirt with bachelors. Many men liked to run to her house, and she also looked down on her.

Gao casually brushed her hair and walked out, only to find that Widow Wu had already gotten up and was cooking breakfast in the kitchen nearby.

Widow Wu was wearing an apron and cutting pickles on a chopping board. A strand of hair hung over her forehead. She had fair skin and a high nose.

Although she is the mother of two children, she has a unique charm. No wonder so many men like to run to her.

Seeing Gao getting up, he said calmly, "You're up, wash your face and have breakfast. I made some porridge and fried two pickles.

"Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do."

"It's okay, but this is not a long-term solution. You still have to find a way to solve the problem as soon as possible! I can't keep you here for long. If I do, your wife Liao will never forgive me."

Gao knew without Widow Wu telling her that she couldn't stay here forever, and it was good enough that Widow Wu brought her back last night.
