Chapter 2 Jiang Ning stole her life

She felt jealous, resentful, and in pain, standing in front of the increasingly glamorous Jiang Ning, like a clown!

Later, Jiang Ning's husband was promoted and became a battalion commander.

Jiang Ning began living the life of an official's wife, residing in the capital with her husband who was serving in the military.

Consumed by jealousy, Jiang Ting vented all her resentment and anger on Jiang Ning, thinking that it should have been Jiang Ning who married that scoundrel Shen Mo.

Having lived a life of widowhood for many years, watching Jiang Ning and her brother-in-law being affectionate, she couldn't bear the loneliness and climbed into bed with her brother-in-law Lin Yufei, who was visiting home. Before she could succeed, she was caught. Lin Yufei loathed her, and the story spread like wildfire throughout Jiangjia Village.

She ended up being condemned by everyone, went insane, and dragged Jiang Ning into the water to commit suicide.

Having been reborn, she knew how rapidly the economy would develop and that the college entrance examination would be reinstated in 1977. She sent Jiang Ning's household registration to that rogue soldier Shen Mo, and secretly studied with the money Shen Mo sent back every month, waiting for the college entrance examination to be reinstated. She would also occasionally run into Lin Yufei in the city.

Everything unfolded exactly as she had envisioned.

Yes, this is her life!

She didn't feel guilty at all about taking the money Shen Mo sent back, since Shen Mo owed her in the first place.

In her past life, Jiang Ning stole her life; in this life, it's time to give it back to her.

But what distracted her now was something else entirely. Today, she returned to Jiangjia Village to show off her university acceptance letter and encountered two men of extraordinary bearing.

One of the men was asking about Jiang Ning's family at the village entrance.

The man called out to Jiang Ting, who said her name was Shen Mo and that she was visiting relatives in Jiangjia Village. She asked for directions to Jiang Ning's house.

Jiang Ting didn't think it was a coincidence that they shared the same name, especially since the other person had mentioned Jiang Ning's name. She just hadn't expected Shen Mo to be so tall and handsome; Lin Yufei's temperament was now inferior to his.

What puzzled her even more was that Shen Mo had never come to see her in her previous life, so why did this man appear after Jiang Ning got her marriage certificate with him?

Driven by jealousy, Jiang Ting subconsciously said to the handsome man in front of her, "Jiang Ting from the Jiang family got into a good university and is about to marry and move to the city. Jiang Ning's husband hasn't come home for three years; he's already run off with another man."

After Jiang Ting finished speaking, she looked at Shen Mo's face, hoping to see the look of disgust he had for Jiang Ning.

Before Shen Mo could say anything, the young man beside him suddenly changed his expression, his face filled with anger. "What kind of person is she? Doesn't she know that what she's doing is illegal?"

Shen Mo only glanced at Jiang Ting indifferently. Someone walked towards him from the village entrance, and he asked, "Excuse me, how do I get to Jiang Ning's house?"

The man carrying the shoulder pole was also very friendly. He pointed to a road and said, "Go down that road, turn right at two intersections, and the third house is Jiang Ning's house."

Shen Mo nodded and was about to walk in the direction the other person indicated when a young man suddenly ran up, covered in sweat. His eyes lit up when he saw Shen Mo, and he immediately said, "Comrade Shen, you're here! The higher-ups called and told you to return to the capital immediately. It's a mission! I bought you tickets for the next train."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mo frowned, glanced into the village, and turned to leave.

Jiang Ting ran away while Shen Mo was asking others, her teeth clenched. She didn't expect Shen Mo to disbelieve her and ask others instead.

No matter what, this life is different from the last, and she will no longer let Jiang Ning look down on her and make a fool of herself.

No matter how handsome Shen Mo is, he's just a rogue soldier. How can he compare to Lin Yufei, who's already a company commander?

Thinking about this, Jiang Ting's mood finally improved.

*

Jiang Ning sat by the window, with the glass window slightly open, letting in fresh air to make her feel less uncomfortable. Next to her sat a woman who looked to be in her fifties or sixties.

Looking at the scenery receding outside the window, at eight o'clock in the evening, Jiang Ning felt hungry and called out inappropriately.

Jiang Ning snapped out of her reverie and, after a while, it was already evening. The boxed meals sold on the bus were all gone. Just as she was about to rummage through her bag for food, the woman sitting next to her asked, "Young lady, are you hungry? I have some food here."

As she spoke, the woman bent down and rummaged through her bag.

Jiang Ning politely thanked her, "Thank you, but no need."

After all, they are strangers, and no one will spread goodwill for no reason. It doesn't hurt to be a little wary.

I pulled out the scallion pancake from my bag, just about to take a bite.

Just then, the woman next to him suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, it's scallion pancakes! They smell so good! This is something special; I haven't had scallion pancakes in ages!"

After saying that, the woman hesitated for a moment and then said with an embarrassed look, "Young lady, can I exchange a whole pancake for half of your scallion pancake?"

As she spoke, she pulled a white pancake from her bag.

The woman was fast and loud, attracting the attention of several people around them.

Seeing that Jiang Ning remained silent, the woman gritted her teeth and said again, "If you feel you're losing out, I can trade you two pancakes."

Seeing this, a man sitting opposite suddenly spoke up, "Young lady, the lady just wants to eat a bite of scallion pancake, why don't you switch with her?"

When someone takes the lead, others will follow suit.

"Yes! People exchange two pancakes for half, so you're not at a loss, little girl."

Moral blackmail really does exist in every era.

The surrounding noise grew louder and louder.

Jiang Ning tore the pancake in half and handed it to the woman. She took a bite of the scallion pancake herself, knowing that one should always be wary of others. If the woman got into trouble because of her food and tried to extort money from her, she would have no way to defend herself.

The woman happily accepted the scallion pancake and handed hers to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she pretended to want to eat it, so she lowered her head and sniffed it.

They drugged him!

The other party is a human trafficker!

Jiang Ning glanced around discreetly, her eyes darkening. The other party's methods were quite clever; they had actually drugged the pancake.

Human traffickers rarely operate alone.

She fell into a trap when people around her suggested she accept the exchange for the cake.

He was plotting how to escape.

"Slap!" A loud slap rang out.

Jiang Ning looked up.

A group of people had appeared at the entrance of their carriage not far away.

The group of men looked menacing and were holding folding knives. They were forcibly selling things to people. The people on the train were all ordinary citizens who dared not speak out when they saw the men threatening them with knives. Some people were forced to accept the things they were trying to sell. Those who refused to accept the items or pay were slapped.

It won't be long before that group of people comes over to her.

Jiang Ning took a small bite of the white cake the woman had given her, and the woman's face lit up with joy upon seeing this.

Jiang Ning didn't notice that a man sitting diagonally opposite her looked anxious when he saw her take a bite of the pancake.

"That girl is quite pretty, how come she's so trusting? Doesn't she know you shouldn't eat things from strangers?" After saying that, the man turned his head to the side and said, "Brother Chen, is this a case of human traffickers and robbery? What should we do?"
