Chapter 1: Encountering the White Lotus Again
In the remote countryside of the north, it is the coldest time of the year, the cold wind blows outside, the snow particles are blowing everywhere, the dry branches are blown creaking, and the dirt roads in the countryside are almost empty, and they look very desolate.
A chill hit, Liu Zhen couldn't help but shiver coldly, and suddenly opened his eyes. She found herself lying on the kang, wearing an old cotton jacket full of patches.
She was stunned for a moment, then sat up, what is this place?
Is this a construction shed? Not at all.
In front of him were the old mottled walls, the ceiling was an old yellowed newspaper, and on all sides, there were dusty light bulbs, and a chair that was about to fall apart stood in the doorway, serving as a basin shelf. That's all the furniture in this room. Liu Zhen's mind never turned, what was going on? This was obviously his home decades ago! How could he come back?
Because this house is a wing, there is no sun shining in all the year round, it is dim and cold, and there is a snowy field outside the window, and there is smoke on the small grass house of the opposite house.
All these scenes are exactly the same as in my memory. But this is obviously my fourteen-year-old home thirty years ago. But isn't she dead? How could she suddenly be fourteen years old?
Liu Zhen wanted to sit up, but with a little force, she suddenly felt that her whole body hurt to death, and she wanted to open her mouth to call someone, and her throat was like swallowing a piece of glass, she reached out and picked up the broken mirror on the table, and when she grabbed the mirror, she could see that her hands were like dry wood, and there were some cracked marks on the back of her hands. It was because I had to work every day, collect firewood, and wash clothes in cold water that I became like this.
She saw herself in the mirror, her dark cheeks, thin and dry, her hair like withered grass, like a bean sprout, and a purple-red bruise on her neck.
She tightened her grip on the mirror, finally accepting that she was really back to the reality of being fourteen.
If this is the reality, is the life she spent after the age of fourteen just a nightmare?
Liu Zhen clearly remembers that for so many years he was working like a donkey pulling a mill, working, and then he was deceived by his stepmother into marrying a bastard, and for the next 30 years, he set up a stall without raising his head, serving his in-laws, getting money for his mother-in-law, getting money for his mother-in-law's family, and serving a husband who was like a waste. I was pregnant several times and had a miscarriage because I was too tired.
I didn't give birth to a son until I was nearly forty years old, but what did I get in the end?
The people of her mother-in-law's family were like locusts lying on her body to suck blood, but when they were never satisfied, her biological father sold her biological son because he had no money to repay his gambling debts, and at the instigation of his stepsister Liu Yun.
Her husband kicked her out of the house because of this incident.
Liu Zhen spent several years, haggard, searching for mountains and seas, until he found that his hair was gray, and it took a lot of hard work to find the abused child who was injured all over his body, and when he returned home with the child, Liu Zhen found that her husband had already hooked up with other women, and the child had been born.
Her husband resolutely rejected the beggar-like mother and son, and she was torn out by her mother-in-law to get a divorce certificate and kicked out of the house, and by this time her father had drunk to death.
And her stepmother, who had drunk her blood for thirty years, saw that Liu Zhen was of little use and drove her away without hesitation.
Only her stepbrother Sun Qiang, who worked in other places, gave her care and warmth, and also sent her money to encourage Liu Zhen to live well.
But her son was so sick that he died on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
When Liu Zhen was grief-stricken, she got the news that her brother had died in an accident, and she vomited out a mouthful of blood at that time and fell in front of her son's grave, ending her tragic life.
Who knew that she woke up again, only to find herself lying on the small kang in the house, back to the age of fourteen.
Is it because God can't stand that she is living so miserably, so she was reborn to save herself back then?
was in a daze, the door opened, and a girl in a brown cotton jacket walked in, she had a ponytail, her two eyes were bright, and her skin was fairer and more delicate than Liu Zhen, she was Liu Zhen's half-sister Liu Yun.
She walked in with a bowl of egg water in her hand, her eyes were full of tears, and she bit her lip and looked at her: "Sister, I have worked hard for you, I made this for you." I owe you a lifetime! Thank you so much, sister. I don't want you to die for me, I'm sorry......"
Seeing his sister's tearful expression again, Liu Zhen was really emotional.
This hateful woman is pure and simple on the surface, but in fact she is selfish and vicious to the extreme, if she hadn't made suggestions several times, Liu Zhen would not have lived so miserably.
In her previous life, she was so stupid, and with a few words of gratitude against her will, she was so moved that she sacrificed half her life like a fool.
And Liu Yun stepped on Liu Zhen to go up, obviously his grades were not as good as his own, but after repeating his studies for a few years, he wholeheartedly helped her study, and his stepmother asked the relationship to go through the back door, and finally went to a very poor secondary school, had a good job, found a good family, lived a smooth and safe life, and gave birth to a son who was also admitted to the heavy book and has a good future.
And after Liu Yun married a good family, she immediately changed her face, and she was no longer as affectionate as before, her sister's shouting was endless, she and Liu Zhen directly cut off contact, she said that the two people were not of the same class, and there was no way to communicate and get along at all.
"You can't understand what I say, my in-laws' family are all high-ranking officials, and it's embarrassing for you to come, so don't come to my house in the future." ”
Liu Zhen thought of her mocking expression at that time, and clenched her fists with hatred, she really wanted to strangle the hypocritical girl in front of her!
"Sister, you should drink egg water. Liu Yun glanced at Liu Zhen.
I noticed that her expression was a little wooden, and I didn't know what she was thinking, but whatever she was, she was just a fool anyway.
Liu Yun continued to say gently: "Sister, I have always remembered the sacrifice you made for me, and when I go to school in the future, I will definitely repay you." I've always felt sorry for you... It's all my bad health, I've been making you suffer, and this time I can only let you down, don't blame me, I will study hard, and I will definitely repay you well if I have a good future in the future. She choked up after saying this, and looked at Liu Zhen with tears in her eyes, like a poor little white flower.
It was obviously Liu Zhen who was about to be sacrificed, but Liu Yun looked extremely aggrieved.
