Chapter 1 Once back to the pre-liberation period
This night, Xia Luo slept very well, and a boring TV series kept playing in his head, telling the story of a woman named Susie in the first half of her life.
Susie was born in the countryside, her family was poor, her parents died when she was 12 years old, and she had no choice but to drop out of school and pull her younger brother to grow up alone.
Susie, who grew up in the bitter water, was extremely beautiful, and at the age of 18, she was already a well-known flower in ten miles and eight towns.
In addition, people are capable, although the family is poor and has no dowry, there are still people who sincerely ask to marry.
This year, she married Li Guohua of Li Village, and gave birth to a son the next year.
In the second year of Li Miao's birth, Li Guohua went to the city, Susie was filial to her in-laws, took care of her son, and cooked properly inside and outside the door.
When Li Miao was three years old, Li Guohua came back and wanted to take Susie to the city, saying that he had no one to take care of him in the city, and after a hard day, he couldn't even eat a hot meal when he got home, which was very hard.
The second elder felt sorry for his son and immediately agreed, and soon Susie took the three-year-old Li Miao into the city.
It's strange to say that as soon as Susie came to Li Guohua's side, Li Guohua's career began to go smoothly.
At first, they lived in a cheap and modest share house, but after half a year, they moved into a clean and bright small apartment for couples.
In another year, Li Guohua's career is getting better and better, and they can actually buy a small house of their own.
At this time, Susie was full of happiness in her eyes, her son was lively and healthy, her husband loved her, her life was getting better day by day, and she felt that her whole life had been fulfilled.
So she repaid the house with all her enthusiasm, the house was always clean and the food was always fragrant. Clothes are always washed and ironed.
Later, when my son went to elementary school, they changed the house again, which was more than 200 square meters, and the decoration was extremely luxurious.
Li Guohua wanted to ask a nanny to clean up the room, but Susie refused, with so much money, it was better to clean up at home by herself, anyway, she had nothing to do all day long.
Then he babbled about his son fighting with his senior classmates again, and he was still the penultimate in the exam......
Susie, who was immersed in happiness and satisfaction, obviously didn't notice that Li Guohua's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain and disgust when he looked at her.
Yes, although Susie was only twenty-five years old at this time, she worked hard in her early years, and she didn't know how to maintain it, and her skin was naturally rough, and her life was getting better and better day by day in the past two years.
Although there is a haode foundation there, it will not make her ugly, but in the end it is not as tender and eye-catching as the young girls in the city, plus Susie grew up in the countryside, and she has no culture, no knowledge and knowledge, this temperament is three points worse.
On the other hand, Li Guohua, a thirty-year-old man, is in the most golden period of his life.
In the past two years, because of business, the north and south of the river have not been less running, this insight is naturally not short, and because of the success of the career, this confident temperament to that swing, the charm of three points immediately rose to ten points.
It is not surprising that such Li Guohua can't look down on such Susie.
What happened next is also logical, and it is very in line with the natural law that men become bad when they are rich.
First, an affair came to the door, Li Guohua wanted a divorce, Susie cried and begged, but nothing could be recovered, and the marriage was divorced.
When the property was divided, Li Guohua said: "I bought the house, and I can't give it to you." β
Susie said expressionlessly, "Okay." β
Li Guohua said again: "I opened the company, and it is useless for you to give it if you don't understand it." β
Susie continued to say expressionlessly, "Okay." β
Li Guohua then said: "I earned all the property in the family, and when you married into my family, you didn't have any dowry, so the property was also mine." β
After saying this, he probably didn't think it was good, but he immediately said: "But you don't have to pay back the money for your brother all these years, after all, you have married into my family for so many years, and you have no credit and hard work!" β
Susie looked at the man in front of her in a daze, who she once regarded as the sky, it turns out that in your heart, I just have 'hard work'!?
All her mental strength was consumed in the repeated quarrels, and not a single tear could come out of the throbbing pain of her heart, which had already been draining in the struggle, she turned her head, no longer looked at the man who was so strange, and spat out a word to the wall, "Okay." β
"And ...... son" As soon as Li Guohua's words came out, Susie, who had always been strong and calm, turned her head quickly, stared at Li Guohua viciously, and said word by word, "My son must belong to me!" β
The resoluteness in Susie's tone and the fierce light in her eyes that had never been seen before shocked Li Guohua slightly.
When he came back to his senses and realized that he was shocked by a housewife, Li Guohua couldn't help but get angry, and just frowned and wanted to say something sternly, but suddenly thought that his son's return to Susie was exactly what he had planned to do with the affair in the morning.
He and the affair are still young, and they can have children that belong to them, Li Guohua had to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, frowned and agreed.
Susie very spinefully refused the alimony and child support given by Li Guohua.
The livelihood problems brought about by leaving the house weighed heavily on her, and Susie herself had no skills, so she had to work as a nanny for others first.
Fortunately, although the nanny is tired, it is also a high-paying profession, although it is impossible to repeat the previous rich life, but the livelihood is not a problem.
Susie works in the family of the old and the young, it is extremely hard to take care of, this day she was turning back to steam egg custard for the child, at a glance, the old man fell, although nothing happened but was scolded by the man, and kicked out.
She returned home like a wandering spirit, a simple hut, days of exhaustion, grievances in her heart, and a failed marriage...... All kinds of things converged into a sledgehammer and smashed at her at this moment.
On the small folding bed, Susie curled up in a ball, crying bitterly at this moment, crying gradually became hoarse in the roar, and then gradually changed from hoarse to low crying, and gradually became silent, with tears still on her face, and fell into a deep sleep.
At this point, the picture came to an abrupt end.
At the same time, as if stimulated by something, Xia Luo sat up sharply and opened his eyes.
After a moment of confusion, she looked around blankly.
The humble hut was cleanly cleaned, the emerald cactus on the table, the yellow floral cloth cushions on the simple sofa, and the brown imitation wood leather on the floor...... Everything was so strange and yet so familiar.
In Charlotte's memory, she had never been in such a space. However, everything around this is strikingly similar to the scene in the boring TV series where Zuihou freezes the frame.
TV series!
Xia Luo's eyes widened suddenly, there would be such a boring TV series in his head? Shouldn't she sleep in her own big soft and warm bed/on?!
Don't......
Charlotte tightened her body and looked down at her handsβrough and calloused, though cleanly washed and her nails neatly trimmed, but still vividly written about the hardships of the years.
This is by no means my own well-maintained hands, even the nails are delicate.
A sense of extreme unease came over her, and an ominous premonition rose in Charo's mind, and she jumped out of bed and stumbled towards the door, which was shown in the TV series, where there was a full-length mirror.
The strange woman in the mirror is Susie, the protagonist of the TV series just now, and the ominous premonition was confirmed at this moment, tears welled up all of a sudden, Xia Luo raised his hand a little tremblingly and wanted to touch the person in the mirror, but he saw that the person in the mirror also raised his hand.
The delusion was shattered, Xia Luo withdrew his hands as if electrocuted, took two steps back in despair, and the woman in the mirror also stepped back.
Tears blurred her vision, and Charo wiped them away, clenching her teeth and clenching her teeth, stopping her tears vividly.
She continued to do all kinds of actions in front of the mirror without giving up, expecting that this was a boring prank of some boring person.
But as the person in the mirror kept copying her movements, Xia Luo's heart cooled down little by little.
She stopped the ugly and stiff movements that appeared on this body, stepped forward, and held out her hand with a glimmer of hope in Zuihou.
The woman in the mirror also stopped, stepped forward, and stretched out her hand.
The hands touched, and the cold, smooth touch of her hands told her that it was really just a mirror.
All kinds of illusory speculations in her heart have been confirmed, Xia Luo is like being struck by lightning, is she crossing over?!
Could that boring TV series be the memory of the owner of this body?! But will Weishenme cross? Isn't crossing a corpse a resurrection? But what kind of soul do you still have?
Is she dead?
But Weishenme will die, she just goes to sleep after taking care of her skin like she has done for countless days and nights before.
She can even worry about the next life by just collecting rent, and the landlord's wife who only does what she is interested in every day is so difficult that she will die of overwork?!
No kidding, this makes those who have to work hard every day embarrassed, the owner of this body is almost overworked.
Are you dreaming? As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, it was like a ray of dawn in the darkness that illuminated a way of escape for Xia Luo's gloomy mood.
As if grabbing a straw from zuihou, she rolled up her sleeve and bit hard, a real pain hit her brain, and the faint ray of dawn was easily dispelled.
Charo slowly slid to the ground, staring blankly at the woman in the mirror who was a little older due to her decay.
At the age of twenty-five, he is a few years younger than himself, but he is old and dead like his elders.
Charo looked down at the rough hands full of traces of time again, looked up at the humble hut, and remembered the difficult situation of the woman in the TV series now, a tear that could no longer roll uncontrollably from her eyes, and smashed on the back of her hand, like a fire, burning pain.
However, there is always a time when the tears will fall, and we still have a lot to do to dry the tears.
Charo straightened up, looked up at the low ceiling, and let out a long sigh of depression.
Before she could figure out the situation, she could only blend in with the environment, and madness and hesitation could not solve any problems.
I turned around and went into the bathroom, washed my face with cold water by the sink, and looked up at the unfamiliar face in the mirror that was still dripping, but my heart was firm.
Charo silently said in his heart: What can't kill me will only make me stronger!
Wiping his face casually, Xia Luo walked to a small room inside, which was where Li Miao, the son of this body, lived.
And she herself just set up a folding bed in the living room that was not so comfortable.
Charo wanted paper and pen now, the woman hadn't been to school for a few days and didn't need it, only in her son's room.
Pick up a spare schoolboy workbook, take one of the pencils that the woman is sharpening to bring to her son the next day, and sit at the desk to sort out her thoughts.
The most important thing for her now is to receive the memories of this woman and not let herself be exposed.
In the small cabinet, I took out the box where the woman put her documents, took out the ID card and put it on the table, and then wrote the first sentence in the notebook: My name is Susie, and I am twenty-five years old.
