Chapter 1: Another Chance

Next Chapter

A construction site in the sun.

The sound of the mixer was deafening, and I was numbly mixing cement in the corner.

My lips were chapped and my arms ached like they were broken. These jobs are really not something that a woman can do, but if I don't do it, I may be hungry tomorrow, so I can only grit my teeth to support it.

Suddenly, I fell to the ground in the dark, and I heard someone shouting in my ear to wake me up, but I felt very comfortable and didn't want to answer at all, and I was finally relieved......

"Qiao'er, wake up."

I don't know how long it was, but another soft call rang in my ears, and I finally opened my eyes.

Underneath me are worn-out millet kang mats and worn-out saffron plaid quilts. On the opposite wall are two old mahogany boxes, which used to be the place where the bedding was placed, and I was shocked to grow my mouth, this is the familiar hometown!

Who brought me back?

My mother and second brother will never care about me, could it be that my eldest brother knows my situation and takes me back? No, the eldest brother is dead, and no one will care about me......

I casually saw the month card hanging on the earthen wall, and the date on it was September 12, 1989, which was 27 years ago.

I was stunned for a moment, then I looked down to see my hands that had become silky and white again, and I grabbed the big black braids, and trembled with excitement.

Am I dreaming? I'm back to my nineteen!?

"Qiao'er, how is it, are you better?" My eldest brother was looking at me with his head bent and concerning.

He was wearing a tattered shirt and blue pants, tall, dark skin, and a loyal face, and he also returned to the appearance of his youth.

He continued to comfort me softly: "I'll help you beat that wolf-hearted thing, and we'll cut off their family in the future!" Let's not mention this, I went down to eat, I was hungry for two days, it's not worth it for someone like that! ”

I couldn't say it excitedly, I remember that year, it was also when I was divorced by Du Cheng.

At that time, I was sitting in the yard of his house with a hungry stomach rubbing buds, tired and hungry, I couldn't lift my arms, and the golden yellow in front of me made me a little dizzy.

Du Cheng is my fiancΓ© and has been in the army for three years.

Before leaving, he told me that his parents were not very happy with me and asked me to behave well at his house, so I have been working hard for the past three years. Planting rice and weeding, raising pigs and ducks, and even washing clothes and carrying water, I do almost all the physical work. No matter how hard and tired I am, I am willing, as long as he can marry me and live a peaceful and beautiful life.

The large iron door of his house was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar voice rang out.

"Mom! I'm back, and this is Yuan Fang written in my letter! "He came in my direction, and he thought I was.

I stood up and watched Du Cheng, whom I had been thinking about, standing next to a young woman in a white shirt and red dress.

When Du Cheng saw me, his face immediately turned pale, his face was full of embarrassment and horror, and the woman next to him looked at me vigilantly, and grabbed his arm hard.

She pointed in my direction and said, "Who is she?" ”

Du Cheng's lips moved several times before he said, "She is a helper hired by my family." ”

The woman did not relent: "You lie! You explained it to me, she's your best friend, right? ”

"She's not a good deal. Qiaozhen, you go back first, I have something to do here. He looked at me almost pleadingly.

I understood right then that he had lied to me, and he had a change of heart.

There was a burst of blackness in front of him, his mouth was bitter, and his heart seemed to have been hit with a hammer a few times, and he was about to faint in pain.

"I'm not a helper! We found a matchmaker to make a dowry, and I'm your fiancΓ©e! You don't even admit it? Do you have a conscience, you! My throat was broken, and I rushed over and grabbed his arm.

"Du Cheng, are you engaged? You lied to me! "That woman is also tearing Du Cheng.

At this time, his mother Sun E ran over in a panic with a rolling pin, didn't care about the flour on her body, pushed us away, pulled her son to the side and muttered.

I barely heard her say, "...... Didn't the telegram say that he would not come back until the day after tomorrow? How..."

She already knew, but she was still using the last chance to let me help her family!

Sun E whispered: "Then you let Qiaozhen go!" ”

Du Cheng turned around and pushed me to leave first, his mouth kept saying something, but I couldn't hear it at all.

I felt ashamed and wronged, kept crying, wanted to catch him and beat him, I waited for him for three years, as a cow and a horse, and endured fucking difficulties and humiliation, but what did he do to me?

But I didn't have any strength, and Sun E kept pulling the frame, holding me and dragging me out of the gate, I couldn't hit him at all, and then I felt that the world was spinning and I fell directly to the ground......

After that, I embarked on a lifelong nightmare career.

I never imagined that God would give me a chance to go back to that time.

Thinking of these things, my mind suddenly cleared up and I wanted to get off the kang.

He hurriedly helped me, and suddenly sneered and said, "I don't know what Du Cheng said, that woman actually believed his words and wanted to marry him!" What a stupid thing! ”

I smiled: "She followed Du Cheng home, what else?" If you really make a big fuss and can't get married, isn't it the same as me? She's not stupid, she can't help it. ”

The eldest brother looked at me at this time and said, "Qiao'er, in fact, my mother and the second brother want you to go to his house to ask for a begging and let Du Cheng marry you, but I want to." Although we are poor, we have to be poor and have backbone, and we can't do such a wronged thing. ”

"Big brother is right, even if I die in this life, I will not have anything to do with Du Cheng again."

The eldest brother obviously didn't believe my words, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Qiao'er! I'm your brother, you don't have to talk to me about these nonsense. If you're still angry, I'm going to beat up this bastard! ”

I shook my head and said, "I'm telling the truth, because this person is not worth it, I just want to live my life in the future." ”

At this time, my mother's voice sounded in the courtyard: "Since you can get up, hurry up to Du's house to apologize, and tell him well, no matter what, this matter is his fault, and this foreign woman must not be allowed to marry him." There is still a first come, first come, even if it is on the village chief's side, we will take care of it! ”

The eldest brother hurriedly went out and said, "Mom, Qiao'er has decided to withdraw from the marriage." ”

Mom hurriedly said, "Don't make up your mind here!" You are a man, you don't understand, if this woman divorces, will she still be able to live in the village in the future? ”

"Why can't you live? I'm going to live better than anyone else. I pushed the door open and walked out.

Mom was sitting on a small stool chopping pigweed, still wearing half-worn overalls as before, with a thin figure and a lot of gray hair.

She looked back at me angrily, in my previous life, I had always obeyed her, and suddenly I stopped listening, she probably couldn't stand it a little.

"Listen well, even if you kneel to death in his house, hang yourself and drink medicine, you can do anything, anyway, you can't agree to withdraw from the marriage, and there is no way for our Wang family to withdraw from the marriage, unless I die!"

The eldest brother also came out and said, "Mom, if you force Qiao'er to marry this black-hearted seed like this, you will kill her!" ”

Mom threw the straw knife on the cutting board: "What I said, did I beg her to be with Du Cheng at the beginning?" Thinking about the past three years, the work at home has not been completed, so I go to other people every day to be cattle and horses, and now I have fallen into such a fate, and I have lost the face of our Wang family, what face do you let me have to meet your aunt Duan in the future! ”

Aunt Duan's name is Duan Qiuyue, and my mother have known each other since childhood, the two did not get along when they were young, and they married from the same village.

Now Duan Qiuyue's daughter Sun Hong has taken over her father's class, entered the city as a temporary worker in the supply and marketing cooperative, and became a city person.

But in our family, the eldest brother's marriage did not go well, only my second brother Wang Zhijun got married, but in order to marry the second sister-in-law Liu Ye, he borrowed a full eighty yuan of foreign debt. Two people are lazy and greedy, and they can't do any work. Life has passed enough panic.

Now that I've been dumped again, my mother loves face so much, and now she naturally has a fire in her heart.
