Bai Juan thought that she was always being picky and strong, and even if she got married in the future, her husband's family would have to live under her thumb, and no one would be able to step on her head.
Bai Ling is such a non-competitive and soft person. After marriage, she will be tortured to death by her mother-in-law and husband, and she dare not say a word!
But who could have thought that Bai Ling was so lucky. After marrying into the Jiang family, her husband was gentle and kind, her mother-in-law was forthright and caring, and even her second brother and sister-in-law, who had always been making trouble at home because of her mother-in-law's favoritism, would be the first to rush over to protect them whenever something happened.
One year, two years... eight years! Every time the two families had dinner together, Bai Juan was jealous to death!
Compared to the gentle and considerate brother-in-law, Wang De, this shameless bastard, not only beat her and her children, but also secretly had an affair with the widow next door!
In contrast, especially her younger sister who was always outdone by her at home when she was young, now things have changed and she lives in a big house in the city of Beijing, and her life is better than hers!
As a result, the conflicts between her and her husband's family became more and more serious, and it was almost impossible to resolve them.
Until then, she waited for an opportunity.
Every year when the brigade weighed the public grain, the Bai family would call back Bai Ling, whose father-in-law was the head of the brigade, to come and show their support.
The difference between first-class grain and second-class grain is not small, and the difference is even more incredible when the weight is increased.
This practice continued until 1949, when Bai Juan had a fierce fight with Wang De and returned to her parents' home with bruises all over her body and feeling angry.
Her family was busy threshing and drying grain, so they naturally had no time to take care of her. Only her younger sister, who was also a guest from her family, stayed with her.
He went back to his mother's home with wounds all over his body to seek refuge, while Bai Ling was invited back by her parents to provide pressure.
Look at the sister's rosy and healthy face, even her sexuality seems cheerful, and you can tell at a glance that she is living a good life with plenty of flesh every day!
Bai Juan was so jealous that she vomited blood, and her regret and love reached its peak!
She is the elder sister, and the matchmaker should have let the Jiang family meet her first. This should have been her big day, but she was beaten to it by her younger sister whom she had always looked down upon!
——It was Bai Ling who let her down!
This mood continued until the two sisters went to the market to deliver lunch to their family. They reached the top when Bai Ling slipped and fell into the river while crossing a wooden bridge.
The moss on the wooden bridge was very slippery, and it fell into the middle of the river, where the water was very deep.
When Bai Ling was a child, she had endless housework to do at home, but Bai Juan was very good at being lazy and running out to play. So she swam in this river hundreds of times, but Bai Ling never went into the river to float.
Bai Ling can't swim and will be drowned.
As sisters for decades, Bai Juan subconsciously wanted to save the people, but when she put down her lunch box and took off her clothes, and saw the bruises on her body, she hesitated.
A crazy, bold and tempting idea came into her mind.
Bai Ling is dead, and she looks exactly like Bai Ling, so does that mean...
Bai Juan gradually stopped taking off her clothes. As her sister desperately cried for help, she turned her head away and buttoned her clothes in silence.
She got off the bridge and followed the shore, watching Bai Ling waving her hands in the river, slowly losing strength, and then sinking.
Finally it floated up again.
The scorching sun at noon doesn't feel warm at all when it shines on my body.
She trembled as she picked up the drowning Bai Ling, exchanged their clothes on the shore, and pushed her into the middle of the river.
Bai Juan ran to the field, soaking wet, and cried out like Bai Ling, "Mom and Dad! My sister fell into the river and her legs are cramping! I can't swim and can't save her!"
When the Bai family heard this, they hurried to the river ditch, and the villagers from the brigade also came to help. From a distance, everyone saw a figure floating on the river!
Mother Bai's eyes went dark, and since she hadn't eaten lunch and had worked hard all morning, her eyes rolled back and she passed out!
Brother Bai took off his clothes while running, jumped into the river and tried to pick up his sister, but his heart skipped a beat when he touched her icy skin.
It's too late to save him.
Several people are drowned in this river every year, especially those who are good at swimming like Baijuan.
The villagers sighed, comforted the old couple of the Bai family, and tried their best to help. They found a wooden board and carried the body back to the Bai family for the funeral.
The family members were stunned for a while and did not notice anything unusual about Bai Juan. However, since they were twins, outsiders could not recognize the slightest differences between relatives who had been together since childhood. But the family members soon discovered that something was wrong.
So Bai Juan showed her true colors that night and was interrogated by the Bai family.
"I didn't! How could I possibly harm my own sister!" Bai Juan was so anxious that veins popped out of her forehead. "We really had a fight on the road and I left first. Later, I planned to wait for her at the corner in front of the rice field, but she didn't show up no matter how long I waited. When I went back to look for her, I saw that my sister had already... had already cried..."
Perhaps it was because they trusted their family, or perhaps it was because Bai Juan cried so hard, the Bai family believed this statement.
Brother Bai frowned, "Then why did you pretend to be Ling'er and come to the market to report the news? And you even wore Ling'er's clothes! We all thought you were drowned!"
Bai Juan stopped crying and looked over at him, "Dad, Mom, do you want a public servant son-in-law or a gangster son-in-law?"
Before the Bai family got angry, Bai Juan racked her brains to lay out the interests involved and said, "My sister is already dead, and the dead cannot be resurrected. Dad, have you ever thought about what will happen to our family after my sister dies?"
"Without Captain Jiang's relationship, will you still be elected as the next team leader? I heard that the county will soon be selecting advanced workers, and those who are selected can compete for the position of township head. Without Captain Jiang as your relative, do you still have a chance?"
"Let's not talk about the distant future. Let's just say that in the future, when the grain commune comes to weigh the grain, if people know that our family and Captain Zhao are no longer related by marriage, will they still be so nice and give our brigade first-class grain every year?"
Brother Bai interrupted, "Even if Ling'er is gone, there are still her four children! For the sake of the children, is it possible that Captain Zhao is unwilling to give our Bai family a shelter? You are the one occupying the nest!"
Bai Juan said in hatred, "Jiang Yang is only ten years old, won't he find a stepmother for the child? What stepmother can compare to me, his own aunt? If I go there, not only can I break off with Wang De's family of beasts and stop being beaten by them, but I can also keep my marriage with the Jiang family and take care of the child myself! What's wrong with this!"
Seeing that the Bai family didn't say anything, Bai Juan couldn't help crying out loud out of guilt: "Bai Ling is dead! We didn't want her to die! But she's dead, she's dead and it's all over, we who are still alive have to move on! Dad, Mom! Please love me, I really can't live in the Wang family anymore! If you don't save me, I will die in the Wang family!"
Tears streamed down her face, and her voice choked: "Do you want your second daughter to die?"
I have to say, when these words came out, the first person to break down was Bai's mother. A daughter had just died, how could she bear to let another one die!
After much deliberation, the Bai family finally agreed to this plan which was good for everyone.
